A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"And so-called fashion is often created in this way."

Jean smiled and said:

"Although I was just criticizing current fashion trends, when the concept of [No Gender] was first coined, it was actually a rather bold attempt to go against the grain. Many outsiders believe that top designers have the ability to predict the next wave of fashion trends, but in reality, they may not even care about such things. They simply express their design concepts, and naturally attract fans... Just like when you express yourself, you naturally gather many girls who identify with you and admire you, right?"

Having said that, he specifically looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was standing next to Chihaya Tetsuya.

"For example, Miss Fengchuan who made this suit and dress for you."

"……Eh!?"

Being suddenly called out, Toyokawa Shoko straightened her back subconsciously, and then she asked in disbelief:

"How did you figure it out?"

"After all, if it were Mr. Chihaya himself, there would be no way he could design clothes that could highlight his personal strengths so well."

Jean replied with a smile:

"Hey, Mr. Chihaya, when you were talking to the client just now, it seemed like you accepted business cards from several models, didn't you?"

Hearing this question, not only Toyokawa Shoko beside him, but also Hoshino Ai who was not far away immediately raised her head and cast her gaze at Chihaya Tetsuya.

"Eh? Ah, yes."

Chihaya Tetsuya nodded calmly.

"They said they were looking forward to working with me more in the future, and a few even suggested we go out for dinner together in the evening if we had time."

"Then how did you reply?"

"Ah, I say, if there's a chance in the future, please give me your guidance..."

"Oh my, this is really..."

Looking at the idol behind Chihaya Tetsuya whose expression suddenly became extremely cold, Ran shook his head helplessly.

"With your defensive attitude, how can I safely take you overseas?"

"As for the precautions, they probably just want to cooperate with me, right? There's no need to be too vigilant about this kind of thing... overseas?"

Chihaya Tetsuya belatedly repeated this extremely unfamiliar word.

"Eh? Please, wait a moment, Mr. Jean, what do you mean by taking me overseas?"

"That's exactly what it says. Mr. Chihaya, you should still remember the 'condition' I mentioned before, right?"

"Of course I remember. You also said you would wait until I performed well at the exhibition before telling me."

"That's right, and after seeing your achievements with my own eyes, I think it's time to tell you this condition."

In the stunned eyes of Chihaya Tetsuya and all the girls around him, Jean said:

"After this exhibition, would you like to go to Paris with me as my student and see the latest fashion designs?"

"……Eh?"

Chihaya Tetsuya's voice had completely lost its former intelligence and calmness, becoming extremely dull and slow.

"As Mr. Jean's...student? Going to Paris together?!"

"Ah, of course. I won't keep you there for too long. After all, your brand is just getting started, and with TGC coming up in a month, I won't take up too much of your time, so you should only be there for about a week."

Let's say:

"That's my condition... Oh my."

Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly noticed a sudden influx of young-looking new customers at the exhibition hall entrance. Judging from their clothing and their inquiring expressions, they seemed to be ordinary customers with a clear purpose and strong curiosity...

Considering the assistant who had just left the booth in a hurry, Rang roughly guessed that this almost seamless new customer was probably their masterpiece.

"After all, this is a very important matter. It would be a bit hasty to ask you to respond directly. Wait until the exhibition is over today and tell me your answer."

Jean stood up and prepared to return to his booth.

When he came closer to Toyokawa Shoko and Hoshino Ai, he added maliciously:

"By the way, besides fashion design, you might even meet a lot of top models preparing to participate in Paris Fashion Week. Believe me, they will definitely welcome you, a thoughtful and gentle young gentleman."

After saying that, he left the Starry Sky booth with a hearty laugh, leaving Chihaya Tetsuya standing there alone...

Although this joint exhibition has not yet ended, the real winner seems to have been born at this moment.

142

Chapter 142: The “quasi-criminals” reached a consensus.

Become Jean's student, and then travel overseas with him...experience more excellent clothing culture and knowledge.

Rather than a condition, it is more like a complete preferential treatment.

For Chihaya Tetsuya, whose goal was to give up his position, he naturally had no reason to refuse such generous conditions.

If it weren't for the joint exhibition work at the moment, Chihaya Tetsu would have immediately given a positive answer -

However, Hoshino Ai and Toyokawa Shoko, who also learned all this at the scene, were not as happy as Chihaya Tetsuya.

"...You heard it too, right, Hoshino Ai?"

When Chihaya Tetsuya was receiving another group of guests, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly called out to Hoshino Ai and pulled her aside:

"Tetsuya-kun is going to Paris with Mr. Jean next week."

As a fellow designer who knows Chihaya Tetsuya's personality and dreams very well, Toyokawa Shoko will not question his next choice at all.

However, the problem is that the sentence added before leaving:

"It won't just be him and Mr. Jean...it will be many of Paris' top fashion models."

Hoshino Ai's eyes suddenly became dull.

Ever since she began studying modeling, she'd realized just how unfathomable the world of fashion models truly was. Even a beauty like Hoshino Ai had to admit that when faced with models with perfect figures, even she couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and admiration...

"If it were before, I might not have been too worried, because Tetsuya-kun isn't the type to change his mind just because of looks or a figure. But the problem is, what would happen if the other person approached Tetsuya-kun first?"

Toyokawa Shoko continued to analyze:

"Now, Tetsuya-kun is not only a talented designer with his own brand at the age of nineteen, but also a student of the world-class designer Mr. Jean. Furthermore, he is also a frank and honest person who will respond seriously to anything others say. If you really put him in front of those models..."

"..."

Hoshino Ai's eyes suddenly became even emptier.

Thinking back to the mature and experienced model teachers she had met, she could already imagine the scene of Chihaya Tetsuya being toyed around by those older sisters and finally being eaten up.

“Aine-san should have told you before this, right? What we are going to do next.”

Toyokawa Shoko once again brought up the plan that Hoshino Ai had put on hold:

"Although we can carry it out by the three of us...but without you, he definitely won't be able to accept it easily."

Even Toyokawa Shoko had to admit the importance of Hoshino Ai to Chihaya Tetsuya, as this important person who had shared the same hardships with him during the most difficult years.

"I agree that you'll do it the first time, so... please come with us and make sure Tetsuya-kun understands his position clearly before someone else gets the better of him."

In the face of more severe foreign enemies, Shoko Toyokawa was willing to make this necessary concession.

After hearing Toyokawa Shoko's statement, Hoshino Ai first widened her eyes in slight surprise, and after a long while, she asked in a slightly incredulous tone:

"You...are actually willing to make such a big concession?"

"After all, it's better to compromise quickly than to be intimidated by outsiders... Besides, you do have the qualifications."

Toyokawa Shoko said:

"Back when you guys were performing at the live in Yokohama, you actually had the opportunity to make a move, didn't you? But you still endured it for him... If it were me in the past, I might have taken it for granted, but now I can only admire your determination."

"..."

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai first looked at Toyokawa Shoko deeply, and then said:

"It seems we will get along very happily in the future."

"I thought so too... So, about that plan?"

"When are you going to act?"

"!"

Needless to say, this rhetorical question says it all.

"We had originally planned to hold a celebration banquet after the joint exhibition, but now we don't have the money to organize one."

Seeing that Hoshino Ai had agreed, Toyokawa Shoko immediately told her her plan.

"In order to prevent that impulsive Mr. Jean from bringing Tetsuya-kun to Paris the next day, I plan to take action immediately after the joint exhibition ends that evening."

"That night... what should we do specifically?"

"To be honest, I haven't thought about this yet."

When it comes to serious matters, Shoko Toyokawa's expression seems a little hesitant.

"While we could take stronger measures by relying on our numbers, I'd still prefer not to be so brutal if possible..."

After all, this was a memorable first time. Even without asking Chihaya Tetsuya's opinion, she still hoped to retain at least a little bit of the romantic atmosphere.

"Then just give me the medicine directly."

"hiss……"

Hoshino Ai's self-righteous criminal declaration made Toyokawa Shoko gasp. Even though she was now on the same side as Hoshino Ai, she still couldn't challenge her moral bottom line as easily as she did.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about dangerous drugs, but sleeping pills."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's hesitant expression, Hoshino Ai shook her head and explained:

"Zhe will definitely get very little sleep during the joint exhibition. Before the exhibition ends, if I give him some sleeping pills, he'll be terribly sleepy. As for what to do after that, I don't think I need to explain much, right?"

"what……"

After hearing this, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly made a sound of sudden enlightenment.

"I see. Sleep aids, huh?... If it's this level, then there's really no problem. But... I have another question."

"what is the problem?"

"Can boys do that kind of thing while they're asleep?"

Toyokawa Shoko, who only had the most basic knowledge about sex, asked curiously.

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai smiled slightly.

"Of course, I can assure you of that."

"Hey...why are you so sure?"

"Because I encountered him while he was asleep in the orphanage."

"..."

If she remembered correctly, when the two of them lived together in the orphanage, Hoshino Ai was only nine years old...

For a moment, Shoko Toyokawa was speechless about this dangerous and precocious person.

However, since Hoshino Ai has reached a consensus with me and the specific plan has been formulated, all I have to do next is wait until the joint exhibition is over.

"Xiangzi, Ai, could you get me a few more order forms?"

“Okay!”*2.

The two girls who reached a consensus looked at each other first, and then returned to their respective jobs as usual.

——There are still two days before the plan is implemented.

Chapter 143: Dangerous remarks after the first day.

After the first day of the joint exhibition, Chihaya Tetsuya called Toyokawa Shoko and Hoshino Ai and made a request that was beyond their expectations -

"Sorry, this might be a little sudden...but could you two come to my house tonight?"

"no problem!"
