[SD Doujin] Light Blue Summer

"So, the model this time is Sakurai."

The voice that made me feel familiar just now turned out to be Mito. Like me, he did not wear the school uniform of Xiangbei, but chose a light blue coat, put his hands in his pockets, smiled, and then came to my side sit down.

"Mito-kun..." I frowned, didn't he go to class? "Why are you here?"

"Ah, it's a long story." Mito seemed a little embarrassed. He watched a few children in front of him running into the sea with their cute inflatable dolls in their arms, causing a wave of waves, and said slowly, "I found it on the title page of the magazine. It seems that I am looking for a photographer's assistant, the salary is good, and the time can be arranged, so I called with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and I didn't expect to get the job easily."

As he said that, Mito touched his head, "But the subject of this shooting is actually Sakurai, I didn't expect it at all."

"I also came here because of salary issues."

I froze for a moment, but chose to tell Mito what I really thought, "In fact, it might be fate that we can meet here."

"That's right."

Sitting with Mito in front of the small shop in front of the beach, we ordered fresh juice and chatted for a while. About 20 minutes later, Ms. Asami also came over, and several other people who were in charge of taking pictures and arranging lighting and props had already arrived. I started to move, to drive away the crowd on the beach to make room for shooting, Mito waved to me, and ran to help the photographer get ready.

"This time, Sakurai has to seize the opportunity. If he can cooperate with the magazine for a long time, he may become a professional model. Signing a contract is not difficult."

Ms. Mami was chattering, but the movements of her hands were unambiguous at all. After combing my hair neatly, I began to carefully arrange it into a shape with a curling iron. I sat in the dressing room in the car. While applying eyeliner, Mami-san came out with a few long white gauze dresses.

"If the sea is the theme this time, the long skirt is more beautiful. Sakurai, should you change your makeup?" Mami-san looked at my face and frowned.

"Oh."

When shooting at the seaside, the most painful thing is the sun in the afternoon. My eyes even started to hurt from the scorching sun, but the photographer asked me to put on a yearning expression facing the sun.

"No, no, it's not my style at all!"

His temper is even comparable to the current sunshine. I saw Mito next to him holding a reflector, not much better than me. Gritting my teeth, I looked at the dazzling sunlight with wide eyes, and then the corners of my mouth curled up. Smiling, it must be the kind of energetic girl I always wanted to be... Thinking silently in my heart, I only heard an "ok", and the sound of relief from the people around me.

"Come on, drink some water and take a break. I'll touch up your makeup and change your look."

Miss Mami carried the makeup box, and first repainted the makeup that was almost gone on my face, and then stood behind me and combed my hair high and began to braid it complicatedly.

My eyes kept looking at Mito, who was still busy in the sun not far away, his hair was already wet with sweat, his coat had been taken off a long time ago, he was wearing a half-sleeved white T-shirt, and was called by the photographer for a while I used to change the lens of the camera, and after a while I was instructed to buy a lunch box. Seeing that Mami-san had finished tidying her hair, I took out two bottles of soda from the ice box and walked to Mito.

"Here, take a break, he won't do anything to you." I handed him the soda and took him directly to our resting side.

"So Sakurai, you usually shoot like this." Mito drank the soda, and then relaxed a little, "It seems to be harder than me. Not only do you have to make various shapes, but you also have to stop Changing clothes and hairstyles, and..." He looked at my face, "Ahem, and the makeup on your face seems to be constantly changing."

Recalling that I stood on the reef for a while, lay down on the beach for a while, and ran hard in the sun for a while, I couldn't help laughing, "It's hard work, but unfortunately there are still many girls who think modeling is very difficult. Good job, nice clothes to wear, and travel around.” Shrugging his shoulders, “Actually, they don’t understand this job at all.”

"Actually, I am quite interested in the job of being a photographer."

Mito was silent for a while, pinched his chin and said, "Because, I can always shoot girls who don't like to laugh in life but always smile happily in the camera."

Before I could answer him, another assistant beside me started yelling at Mito, "Hey!! Don't be lazy, Mito! Come and help!"

Chicly throwing the empty soda bottle into the trash can, Mito made a "must win" gesture and hurried to help.

"..."

I looked at his back and let out a faint sigh.

Smiles are all long-standing habits of shooting, because in life, I have never encountered something that can really make me happy...

× × × ×

Seabirds, the sound of sea water beating dark stones, and the no longer harsh sunlight.

Today is probably the most tiring day I have ever had. After all the shooting was over, everyone was packing up, but I didn’t even have the strength to change clothes. Fortunately, Ms. Mami has already understood my personality, and the next shooting will be Just return the clothes to her. I explained to her about the school, and she agreed to help. Watching her drive away in a car, I finally collapsed and sat on the beach.

Some people say that the color of the sea is not actually blue, but the color reflected by the sun.

"Sakurai, why don't you go back?"

Mito was also busy all afternoon, I raised my eyes and saw him staring straight at me.

"I want to take a break. If Mito-kun is in a hurry, you don't have to wait for me."

"Then can I sit here?"

"Please help yourself."

Looking up at the seabirds circling above my head and occasionally singing, I closed my eyes, and the discomfort came again, but I could feel Mito sitting beside him, he didn’t make a sound, he was probably enjoying the scenery .

"Mito-kun..."

"Sakurai, you can call me by my name if you don't mind."

I can't see his expression, but he can bring me an inexplicable sense of stability when he speaks like this, "Then, you can also call me Ayu. What I want to say is, Yohei and Sakuragi-kun have known each other for a long time, right?" ?”

The tone of his answer was firm.

"Yes, I have known him since we were one, he is a very important person to me."

"He's good at basketball..."

I felt that after lying down for a long time, my physical strength recovered a lot, and my mind gradually cleared up. I sat up and hugged my knees, "Sakuragi-kun, you will become a very good basketball player."

"Oh? That guy? Maybe it's really possible." Yohei's tone became very light, "Although I can't see it at all so far... But since Ayu said so, I choose to believe it."

When it comes to Sakuragi, there seems to be endless topics to talk about. Yohei even told me a lot of interesting things about Sakuragi learning basketball. Although he also gossiped like Haruko and asked me about my relationship with Rukawa, but my Explaining, I always feel that he didn't listen.

"After all, you are the only one who can talk to him." Something flashed in his eyes, "Da Nan and Noma have been complaining about this matter for a long time. By the way, How did Ayu and Rukawa-kun know each other?"

"I think, in a word, I stole Rukawa's bicycle, and then he came after me."

I thought for a long time before I vaguely recalled the scene when Rukawa and I met for the first time.

"I remember Ayu, aren't you from Takeishi Middle School? It seems that it's not very close to Rukawa-kun's Fuqiu Middle School..." Yohei's mind turned very fast, and he asked it all at once.

"I used to be from Forest Girls' School."

"Oh, that six-year girls' school that specializes in raising girls..." Yohei looked uncertain, "Sure enough, I remember correctly, Ayu should be the first ACE-level girl who was called the savior of the forest back then, right? "

"...That's right." Although this is the most dishonorable part of my past, there is nothing I can't admit to now, "Aren't Yohei, Sakuragi and a few others also a well-known bad group in Wako Middle School? It’s a pity that I didn’t meet him back then.”

As if we had a tacit understanding, Yohei and I looked at each other and laughed involuntarily at the same time.
