Kouya no Frontier Event Story/Chapter 2

Magazine Editorial Staff Member:	Thank you so much for taking on this job today!
Noah:	Not at all; I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for requesting me to be a model for such a wonderful magazine.
Staff:	But of course! We’ve been eager to find a way to work with you ever since we first saw you, Noah-san.
Staff:	We’ve used many types of teenage models, ranging from pros coming from all over the world, to our very own readers.
Staff:	We’re very proud of the popularity that that aspect of the magazine has with our readers. It’s one of our company’s main selling points.
Staff:	It’s a specialty international magazine called “Teen”. Charisma and good looks like yours are a perfect fit for it!
Noah:	…Thank you very much.
Noah:	Um… There is something that I’d like to ask, if that’s all right. Why did you only extend this offer to me?
Staff:	Um… What do you mean?
Noah:	Oh, no, it’s just that… According to what I heard from my producer, you saw an appearance of I♥B’s – the group I’m in– on an earlier program…
Noah:	…And that’s how you came to extend this offer to me.
Noah:	I was just wondering why you only chose me out of the whole group…
Staff:	Oh! So that’s what you meant?
Staff:	I suppose you could say that our… standards we look for when offering positions have gone up…
Staff:	But we certainly didn’t intend it as a slight to the others! You’re just a special case, Noah-san!
Noah:	A special case, huh…?
Staff:	Yes! You’re quite special!
Staff:	Ah! It seems that we’ve gotten completely sidetracked by our conversation. Well then, once you’ve changed clothes, let’s have a great session! I’m looking forward to working with you!
	[Door closes]
Noah:	…I’m the only special one out of all of us, huh? What an over-the-top thing to say.
Noah:	(Still, I wonder why… I’m feeling somewhat sad. I’ve got a bad feeling about this…)
	[Knock knock]
Producer:	Noah-kun, are you done changing yet?
Noah:	!! I’ll be done soon, so give me a sec!
Producer:	Okay, got it! Then I’ll go on ahead to the set, okay?
Noah:	I suppose I should just think about it later… I’ve got to focus on my work for now.
Cameraman:	Please look up a bit more, Noah-san—. Right, just like that! …That looks great!
Cameraman:	Ah! That look in your eyes is fantastic! Now hold that pose…
Noah:	Yes.
Noah:	In any case… I thought that I’d be wearing something a little more normal than this. Why am I dressed up like I’m going horseback riding?
Staff:	We saw in your profile that you liked horses, so that’s the outfit we chose! Or, at least, that was our line of thinking!
Staff:	And you look as fabulous as we thought you would, Noah-san! We definitely made the right choice!
Noah:	You think so? Thank you very much.
Staff:	By the way… We wanted to do an interview along with the photoshoot, so would it be all right if I asked you a couple of questions?
Noah:	An interview…? I didn’t hear that there would be an interview today…
Staff:	I’m so sorry! That’s because we didn’t mention it… If the questions are too difficult, then you can just give brief answers!
Noah:	(I’m in quite a bind here… It looks like the producer’s… talking to someone else right now.)
Noah:	(Well, they’ve already been so kind to me, so a few words here and there should be fine…)
Noah:	I see. Well then, as long as I can see how you’ll edit the interview before publishing it, and if we can cut anything I have a problem with, then…
Staff:	Thank you very much! Then I think I’ll start asking you the questions now, so please just give me some simple answers to each of them!
Noah:	…Okay. Understood.
Noah:	(I’ll tell the producer about this later.)
