Ossan (36) Ga Idol Ni Naru Hanashi - Chapter 16

16. Miroku(Maitreya) Seems Cool

(Small Note here, Miroku is always written in katakana, whereas in the title , its written in kanji that means Maitreya(a Bodhisatva))

I have created a patreon Will use the money (if I get it) to buy Kin no kuni, Mizu no kuni (and others too coz i wanna read it badly). Can translate it if you want. So please do donate if you can. Plus, the next chapter is there for only $1. Ill post it here next week.

Its. Daily?

Good Morning!

When Miroku entered the office, endeavouring in a Cheerful Greeting, Yoichi, who was wrapped in a minty fragrance, listlessly raised his hand from the desk. It seems that the muscle pains from the week before were still persisting.

Morning Miroku-kun, sorry for not coming to pick you up today

No, its fine. Because Shiju-san told me to move about as mischief as possible. I can move around more in a train as compared to a car

While the two were talking, a few other models entered the office, so Miroku exchanged greetings with them.

To begin with, he was a talented person that suited Yoichis judgement, if they had only a chance to sell him, the rest would be fast. They were very grateful to Miroku.
Miroku, who learnt the know-how of ModelTalent from them, was blessed with (a year younger) Senpais, and was growing day after day.

Its strange for Fuming to be absent, did she catch a cold?

No, shes in the midst of training. Shes gone to a company that conducts business with us

I see

After the performance got over the other day, the people and staff of the sports gym got together and decided to do a closing party, but Fumi wasnt present. When he felt curious and asked, Yoichi answered, saying She had matters to attend to, so she went home.
Coming to know of the fact that it was training, Miroku who was relieved, thinking if shes healthy, then its all good, Yoichi timidly asked a question.

By the way, Miroku-kun, that thing in the endin that performancewas it some kind of service1?

That thing in the end? Is it?

Didnt you do it? Something like facing the audience and giving a flying kiss

That wasOnce it got over, the audience seats became bright, and I could see Fumi-chans figure

Uh-huh

And then I remembered Fumi-chan who told me to Showoff the cool Miroku-san

Uh?

I dont understand what you mean by cool, but in the job of a model, one is requested to give a flying kiss, and if you get carried away and do it, youll be popular so

At that place at that time, didt we reach home quite late?

Aah, thats right. Its about that time when by chance there was an audience member, when that person had a nosebleed

Miroku-kun, youre banned from giving flying kisses

Ehhhh!?

The other models who were watching the exchange with Yoichi, said various things like The flirtatious sidelong glance too! The surprise attack smile too! . Miroku complained, saying he didnt do such things. It was natural for Miroku to feel dissatisfied. He was only giving a glance and smiling. It was impolite to say so.

Oi!! Yoichi the ossan!!

Shiju, I told you to call me Director here

Where can I not call you that! What does this mean!

In the hands of Shiju, who came in rushing and was short of breath, a mens magazine called GAINA could be seen. In that three men wearing suits.

Thats right. They were saying that compared to the photo of Miroku alone, this was better. I was embarrassed though, so my face too is slightly concealed, so I was wondering if it was all right

Wasnt my photo taken as it is! Because I didnt know it, didnt it spit out the coffee in the cafe there!! The coffee that costs 700 yen a cup!! What a waste!!

Well, there it is

Wow, it turned out to be the front cover! Sugoi! The both of you look cool!

It turned out to be a good memory

Shiju glared reproachfully at the two who were conversing pleasantly. It couldnt be helped now that it was published, but he wondered why they hadnt been informed beforehand.

I told you. On phone though

Eh? Did you?

Because it was decided so abruptly, I gave you call, but it seemed as if you were having a hard timeover a hangover, so I sent a mail just in case though

Ah, I havent seen the mail

Even though Shiju-san is so particular about trivial things, youre quite lackadaisical about these matters

Miroku, who nodded as if in admiration, looked at the schedule chart that Shiju made, and once again nods saying uh-huh.
Miroku, whos shooting for a magazine, leaves behind an office that is still noisy with chatter. Miroku liked the office that had a cozy atmosphere. There was a time when he was a shut-in too, but the full and enriching daily life he lived as if to regain that lost part, Miroku who thought he was truly lucky turned and walked towards the station with light steps.

So, have you calmed down?

Yes, Im sorry

Can you stay away from him for a long time?

Im fine. I can do my job!

I see

Fumi, who was crouching under Yoichis desk as if to hide,was firing herself up. He was surprised by Fumi who hid as if shed disappeared the moment Miroku came, but they had heard from Mihachi about the situation at the performance the other day, so he wasaware of the circumstance. The difference between Miroku, who did not seem to notice Fumi, who said she couldnt face him because it was too embarrassing was something clearly noticeable, but well, theres no choice but to take it slowly.

A natural airhead seducerWell, it seems as if hes slightly self-aware, but theres still a long way to go

Yoichi takes a long and deep breath, and with a nervous look, gives a call somewhere. Whether it goes well or not, he had no choice other than this, but he believed in him that it would work out.
In the midst of firing himself up, the song that was playing from the computer was the anime song that Miroku sang, was Yoichi, who felt that the song was slightly sloppy.
