(Extended): “The Gyaru in the Manga”
Scene resumes: Hikari has declared she’ll be Renji’s model. She pulls her chair back, stands up, and plants her hands on her hips.
---
Hikari Momose
(grinning)
“Alright, sensei, get your pencil ready! This body isn’t gonna pose itself.”
Renji Aozora
(nearly dropping his pen)
“Wh-why are you taking this so seriously all of a sudden?!”
Hikari
(winks)
“‘Cause it’s fun! And maybe… it feels nice being drawn by someone who actually sees me, not just the ‘gyaru model from a magazine.’”
then, smirking again
“Now, let’s start easy. How’s this?”
She strikes a peace-sign pose with a cheeky smile, one knee bent playfully.
---
Renji
(muttering as he sketches, pushing his glasses up)
“…Her energy… it’s hard to capture. But… she really does shine.”Hikari
(leaning forward suddenly)
“Oi, oi, don’t mumble, artist-kun! I wanna know what you’re thinking!”
Renji
(flustered)
“Nothing! Just… y-you look… very… manga-like…”
Hikari
(grins wide)
“Ha! I knew it. I am heroine material!”
---
Montage of poses begins: Hikari balancing her bag on her shoulder with a sly smile, pretending to be a magical girl with dramatic gestures, and even doing a “cool delinquent”lean against the desk. Renji sketches furiously, his ears red the whole time.
---
Hikari
(halfway through, tugging her loose tie down a little more)
“…How about a ‘sexy’ pose? Models gotta do those too, y’know.”
Renji
(eyes widening, choking on his own breath)
“W-what?! That’s not necessary!”
Hikari
(snickering, putting her hands behind her head, arching her back just slightly)
“C’mon, sensei. Don’t tell me you’ve never drawn stuff like this before.”Renji’s pencil nearly snaps. His face is burning as he desperately tries to stay focused. Hikari notices—and instead of teasing louder, she just watches him with a faint blush of her own.
---
Hikari
(softly, almost to herself)
“…You really do look at me differently than other guys.”
---
Renji
(pauses mid-sketch, glancing up nervously)
“…D-differently?”
Hikari
(shrugs, smiling but not meeting his eyes)
“Yeah. Like… you’re actually seeing me. Not just the clothes. Or the chest.”
then quickly grins, snapping back to her usual loud tone
“But hey, don’t get me wrong! My chest is worth looking at, too~”
---
Renji
(groans, burying his face in his sketchbook)
“Why do you have to ruin every serious moment…”
Hikari
(giggling, plopping back into her chair, resting her chin on her hands)
“Because you look cuter when you’re flustered, duh.”
---
The bell chimes, signaling the library is closing soon. Hikari gathers her bag, stretching dramatically.
---
Hikari
“Alright, that’s enough modeling for today! You better finish that drawing, sensei. And next time—”
she leans down suddenly, close enough that her glossy lips are just inches from his ear.
“—draw me even better.”Renji
(frozen, his face red all the way to his neck)
“…She’s going to kill me one day…”
Fade out. (Extended).
