(Today's a magazine shoot, so the venue's booked out...well, there's none of the usual hustle and bustle, so it's nice and easy.)

Xue
(For now, once I line up the catering food on the tables, I'll get started on decorating the venue, and...)

Staff 1
...Yes, hello...whaat!? Is that so!? So the arrival is...ehhh!? You can't make it!?

Staff 1
G-Got it! I'll check right away! ...Um! Producer!

Producer
What is it, what's wrong? Trouble?

Staff 1
Yes, well, you see...it's about Risa-san, the model scheduled for today's shoot...

Staff 1
She was supposed to come back here on the first morning flight from her overseas location shoot, but...apparently they've all been cancelled because of the bad weather...

Staff 1
So it seems she won't be able to make it in time for the shoot...

Producer
Wha...what did you say!? Hey now, what do we do! Without our main model, there's no shoot!

Staff 1
T-That's true, but...

Staff 2
You're kidding, what do we do...

Staff 3
And the makeup staff were all set too. Looks like today's going to be a wrap-up.

Xue
(Hm? What's this? Some kind of trouble? ...Don't tell me the catering's getting cancelled or anything.)

Xue
(We went to the trouble of having the whole staff make it since this morning...! I don't know what happened, but at the very least, eat this much, would you...!)

Xue
(Well, whatever. If it's trouble, there'll be instructions later. Until then, I'll devote myself to what I should be doing.)

Producer
Haaah...if only a stand-in could be found, that'd solve it...a petite, nimble looking model who could pull off this dress...

Xue
(Line up the vases on the empty tables...next is...)

Producer
Hm?

Producer
(What's with that girl...even while wearing the wedding hall staff uniform, that nimble way of carrying herself...)

Producer
(And she's slender and petite, close to Risa's body type too...)

Producer
(On top of that, she's got a striking appearance...or rather, isn't that a face I've seen somewhere? Like she was featured in some troupe's coverage...)

Producer
Hey. That girl...what's the name of that wedding hall staff girl?

Staff 1
Eh? No, I don't really know...

Producer
You there...lining up the vases on the table, the one with the bright hair colour!

Xue
? Lining up the vases...do you mean me? ...Yes, what is it?

Producer
You, could you try standing over there for a moment? Where the camera's set up...yes, right there!

Xue
(Does he want to check the model's standing position or something? Honestly...he could just ask the shoot staff...)

Xue
Um...is this the right spot?

Producer
Yes, yes! ...Hey, staff! Everyone gather around!

Xue
(!? What now!? What's the commotion this time...!?)

Producer
What do you all think? Don't you think she's perfect for the stand in?

Staff 1
Wow...that's great...! She fits the image of this shoot too!

Staff 2
Yes. Her body type seems just right too, so as long as she herself is okay with it, isn't it a good idea?

Staff 3
With makeup, she'd look even more striking. This gets me fired up.

Producer
...And so, you there. I'm sorry for the suddenness, but won't you serve as the stand in model?

Producer
I'll explain things to the person in charge of the wedding hall myself! And we'll pay you proper compensation! So...please! I'm begging you!

Xue
W-What...!?

Producer
It's no wonder you're bewildered! But still...you're the only one we can rely on now! Please!

Staff Members
We're begging you!!!!!

Xue
Ugh...

Xue
(Compensation too...in that case, I'd love to jump on it, but...taking on a shoot without going through the troupe is honestly a bad idea...)

Xue
Um, I'm a member of Gingaza, so...a magazine job on my own say so is...

Producer
Mm, so it is! No wonder you looked familiar...but Gingaza, huh...hmm, I see.

Staff 1
What should we do, Producer...?

Producer
...You, your name?

Xue
It's Wang Xue.

Producer
Wang Xue, got it. ...You all, go ahead and keep preparing for the shoot. ...Hello.

Producer
I negotiated with the troupe myself and got permission. This way, there's no problem, right?

Xue
Huh!? No, that's...no matter how you slice it, this fast...

Producer
I've actually been working with Gingaza for many years. Connections are the kind of thing that come in handy at times like this.

Producer
Once more, I'll ask. You're all we have left! Please! Become our wedding model!!!

Xue
...I'll be getting proper compensation, you know.

Producer
Of course.

Xue
Understood...I'll take you up on that offer.
