School uniform brand Master was originally a company that held the exclusive number one position in the school uniform industry.

Of course, due to the limitations of the school uniform brand category, it cannot be compared to other large corporations, but its position as the industry leader has not gone anywhere, and it has a certain level of recognition among the people.

Parents, or children. And children who grew up wearing Master’s uniforms have grown up and become adults.

First, as is expected of a frontrunner, it has been subject to many challengers so far.

That firm position has been gradually crumbling after many companies have challenged it, and recently, it has experienced the humiliation of its market share falling below 50% for the first time.

Of course, you might ask if it’s not too much to be excited about just because the figure has fallen slightly below the majority, but how can corporate value be determined by such a fragmentary perspective?

The stock price was falling. And the voice of concern coming from within, Master Uniform gradually felt the need for change.

Rather than following the model of a school uniform featuring celebrities, which everyone else does, the idea was to use models who are ordinary people but have a good feel, to present a more familiar image.

The company’s position was this, on the other hand.

Photo director Kim Sang-hoon, who was in charge of this shoot, was burning with passion and curiosity ever since he saw Jin Ha-neul and Yeon Su-ho.

Contrary to his expectations that it would not be an easy task to photograph ordinary people, not celebrities, models, or entertainers who are skilled at photography, Yeon Su-ho and Jin Ha-neul had faces and bodies so gorgeous and beautiful that it was hard to believe they were ordinary people.

Of course, both of them were relatively shorter than their male and female peers, but that didn’t seem like a big problem to him.

Because he was short, his head was so small that his proportions were good, and as long as the camera angle was right, making him look tall wasn’t a problem for him.

Even, they were actively and well-following the filming.

At this point, questions might arise.

Isn’t that too different from the original company’s direction of creating a familiar image for the brand?

Isn’t this the kind of image that makes Jin Ha-neul and Yeon Su-ho feel intimate?

It was all correct.

Except for the fact that they are not celebrities or hunters but ordinary people, they have a glamorous impression that is just as good as celebrities… .

But, they thought.

You’d be an idiot not to use a model like this at such a low cost.

Familiar image? Good. But ultimately, the model has to arouse the desire to buy.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could think that you could become such a glamorous person by wearing your own school uniform?

This background was the reason why Yeon Soo-ho and Jin Ha-neul are standing here now.

Director Kim Sang-hoon was so excited that he changed the filming location to another place.

After completing all the white background photos that would become the basic brand image, we moved on to the next shoot for images that would be more student-friendly.

“Okay. Mr. Suho and Mr. Haneul? We’ll film you studying hard in the classroom.”

“Yes, I understand. But where is the classroom?”

“We will guide you.”

Jin Ha-neul and Yeon Su-ho followed the staff’s instructions and walked.

There seemed to be no trace of worry in those light footsteps.

“That’s amazing.”

“Yes?”

“No. If it was a normal person, I would be nervous, but he walks around the filming set like it’s his home.”

“Ah… . She definitely doesn’t seem like an ordinary person. Her face is like that, and is she perhaps some kind of ultimate weapon that some agency is secretly raising? And she’s 23 years old. With that appearance.”

“Haha. It would be more convincing to say that it’s a monster that looks like a girl.”

That was correct.

“Haha. I guess that’s a bit much, right?”

“Anyway, let’s get going. I have a good feeling today.”

“Yes! Director!”

Is this what filming is like?

What I was thinking was, it felt like a very strict director was nitpicking and nitpicking every single move.

The atmosphere here was different, it was so different.

Every time I strike a pose, you say, “It’s perfect. There’s nothing to find fault with.” You even clap your hands and enjoy it.

I wondered if things were going so well because he was an ordinary model and not a professional actor, so I asked the staff member who seemed the least experienced.

Do filming usually proceed this smoothly?

But, he says that is absolutely not the case.

Director Kim Sang-hoon has a strong artistic temperament, so even if there is trouble with the model, he always points it out if he is not satisfied with the level.

So what is it?

Could it be that I’m just so talented as a model? Or maybe I just picked the wrong genre?

Instead of becoming a witch, I should have worked as a genius actor. I felt that way too, but… If I try to be a model with this little body, won’t I never be able to go beyond the level of a child model?

I heard somewhere that child models are treated more harshly than other models. I wasn’t really interested in them.

Well, that’s because she’s a school uniform model. And the makeup makes her look mature, the photography technique makes her look taller, and the insoles are big, so that’s it…

You can’t even dream of becoming a fashion brand model like the famous celebrities do.

Ah! I’m going to be a children’s clothing model.

‘Ha… I want to become glamorous quickly.’

Filming in the classroom, filming on the playground, filming in the auditorium, etc.

We continued filming all day, going around to places that had a strong connection with the students, and finally finished filming in front of the amusement park, our last location.

That’s the place that comes to mind when you think of a school uniform date.

That’s where Suho and I went together.

This is the place where I became a uniform model thanks to my connection with the owner of the uniform rental store.

Suho seemed to be enjoying the filming itself a lot, perhaps because he vividly remembered going to the amusement park with me.

“I’m glad to be here again with my sister.”

“This kid… . We came here to work. We didn’t come here to play.”

“Still.”

“Hmm… But what should I do?”

“What is it?”

“What if we become stars like this? We won’t be able to go to the amusement park like this?”

“… Sister. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time… .”

“Huh?”

“Sister. Do you have princess complex?”

Oh, princess disease? You want to die?

I look like I have princess complex.

I’ve always just told the facts, no matter what.

“No? There’s no such thing?”

“Hmm… .”

“What’s wrong with you, you cheeky brat.”

I lifted my crow’s foot and pinched Yeon Soo-ho’s cheek.

The boy’s white cheek was caught in my slender fingers and turned red.

“Uh-huh-huh.”

“This reckless guy.”

After a brief educational session with the cocky Yeon Su-ho, filming began in earnest, and as before, it was completed successfully and smoothly without any particular noise.

After all the work was done, director Kim Sang-hoon applauded loudly and continued to praise me and Su-ho.

“It was really great! I didn’t know we’d finish filming in one day.”

“Hahaha. It was a fun experience for me too.”

“Thank you for your hard work… .”

“Ah, Mr. Sky. And Mr. Suho.”

“Yes?”

“Have you ever thought about becoming a professional model?”

“Are you a professional model?”

“Yes. If I just let it go like this, it would be a waste of both visuals and talent.”

“Hmm… … .”

At the director’s words, Suho and I looked into each other’s eyes for a moment and thought briefly.

To be honest, I thought it was a good opportunity.

Because I was at an age where it was burdensome to have a regular job because of my magic research, I thought that being a freelancer like a model would be quite helpful in making a living.

Suho… If you continue to catch the eyes of advertisers, you might be able to fly higher.

“Suhoya. What do you think?”

“Um… . I… … .”

I opened my eyes slightly wide in surprise at Suho’s answer.

No. Maybe this side is more protective.

So I laughed.

“Do you really not have to do it?”

“I remember it wasn’t like I said I wouldn’t do it at all…”

“That’s true.”

Suho’s answer was this.

Once my older sister, Sujin, finishes her treatment, I will try my hand at modeling in earnest.

Until then, I think it will be difficult because I will be worried about my older sister.

Director Kim Sang-hoon must have really liked us, because he applauded Soo-ho’s reservations, which could have been perceived as arrogant, even more, saying that the brotherly love was great.

me?

What about me?

It’s not like I need money right now, and I said I’d think about it once Suho started modeling.

First of all, isn’t it a priority for Soojin to create a cure?

They were called the thorns of a dinosaur cactus, the horns of a unicorn elk, and the wings of a seahorse bat.

I need to meet Ms. Ina at the pawn shop and ask her about them to find out their whereabouts.

When I returned to the workshop after a long time of extramarital affairs, a familiar atmosphere greeted me.

The bitter, acrid aromas characteristic of alchemical potions.

And the sweet peach scent of a diffuser to erase them.

Hmm. My house is the best after all.

I was a little worried that Winter Unnie would invade my studio again and start a sit-in, but luckily, that’s not the case.

Of course… she’s a really nice older sister when we meet outside, but these days, I feel like she’s encroaching on my treasured possessions, so I’m a little wary.

“Ugh~! I need to take a nap and go to the pawn shop.”

After drinking a cup of cool barley tea, I lowered the brightness of the room with the blackout curtains and threw myself into my soft blanket, falling into deep dreamland.

Even using Happy Dreamer, which is made by refining the Happy Virus.
