DUAL GATES THE WORLD FROM THE PROGRESSOR

Chapter 5: Kazuki becomes an Impromptu Model?!

***

Kazuki searched thoroughly, even trying to find the narrowest crevices.

After a long time of searching, he finally found a new pair of clothes that his grandfather had never worn before.

"One white long-sleeved shirt, and one black pair of trousers," Kazuki said as he took out the clothes from his case and checked to see if they fit him.

Maybe because his grandfather was old, the size of the clothes he had were too small and short for Kazuki to wear, so he had a hard time finding one that suited him.

"The length is quite suitable and the height is also just right. Alright, here we go!" exclaimed Kazuki cheerfully.

Finally, Kazuki had found clothes that suited him, but he knew he needed to buy new ones for the future.

He also wore the necklace he had obtained after killing the weird jelly to add some color to his outfit so that it didn't look flat and unflattering.

"I hope there are lots of good but cheap clothes available. I'll have to go to the shopping center to find them," Kazuki muttered as he fixed his buttons.

"Then I'll go there now while it's still early!"

***

Shopping center.

Upon arriving, Kazuki realized that his main task was not to search for a store selling inexpensive clothing, but to find his bearings.

"Where should I go?" he wondered, having forgotten that this was his first time here.

He was taken aback when several girls approached him earlier, asking for his number. "Hey Handsome Brother, can I have your number?" they had said.

Despite not owning a cellphone, Kazuki declined politely, but with a warm smile. "I'm sorry miss, I don't have a phone number. Perhaps someday I will," he replied.

The girls remained cheerful even after his response, and some even had rosy cheeks. "Ahh... I'm sorry Brother, I didn't know you didn't have a cellphone yet. But when we meet again, may I ask for your cellphone number?" one of them asked.

Kazuki beamed brightly and replied, "Of course, you can have my cell number."

"Kyaa~!!" the girls squealed before conferring with each other and departing, leaving Kazuki alone.

As he watched them leave, he couldn't help but let out a tired sigh.

"Heishhh..."

Glancing over to a corner where a very large clothing store was located, Kazuki saw a crowd of people gathering, all looking as though they were gazing at something interesting. Even the curious Kazuki felt the urge to see what had captured their attention.

"Isn't she..."

"Yes! She's a model who has previously participated in beauty contests in this country!!"

"Isn't she very young?"

"She's only 17 years old, but that hasn't stopped her from developing her career!"

Kazuki heard such chatter from the surroundings, and his gaze then landed on a girl that the onlookers were focused on. She was a very beautiful girl. Her stunning blue eyes and slightly wavy blonde hair added to her already incredible beauty.

Her figure stood out from the other girls, as she was about 170 cm tall and had a shapely hourglass body, with a fairly large bust. Perhaps a D cup, or even larger?

"...Is there such an amazingly beautiful person?" murmured Kazuki in amazement.

Just as he wanted to leave the crowded area, an old woman called out to him.

"...Huh...?" Even though he was confused, Kazuki could only obey her orders and walked towards her.

"How about the photo shoot?" an old woman asked the man in charge of a group of people.

"Ugghhhh... Sorry, madam. The male model we contracted with said he was on his way after falling asleep playing with women," he replied in an embarrassed tone.

Hearing what the man said, the old woman immediately dropped her voice and exclaimed, "What?!!! Playing with women?!! What kind of bastard did you contract?!"

The madam's outburst made the man extremely embarrassed, and he immediately bowed, "I'm sorry, madam! He's the only high-end model who has free time!"

"What did you say? Free time? Nonsense! That bastard is just not wanted by other companies!" retorted the old woman.

"Then what should we do, madam?" the man felt very guilty because of what the old woman said.

"We're going to look for an impromptu volunteer!" said the old woman.

"Huh? Volunteers?" the man was slightly stunned by the old woman's words.

"Yes, a volunteer!" she insisted.

Turning to a girl standing beside her, the woman asked, "Would you be okay with a volunteer, Marin-chan?"

"Hmm!! It's fine, Hatsune-san!! I think what you suggest is much better!" replied Marin cheerfully.

Hearing Marin's answer, Hatsune became very relieved. "It's great that you agreed. Let me do my job!"

"Erm!"

Glancing at the crowd of spectators, Hatsune tried to examine everything in great detail, trying not to miss anything. But after all this time, she couldn't find anyone suitable until she saw a very handsome young man about to leave the crowd.

Swiftly, Hatsune shouted, "Hey you!"

Kazuki thought, 'Who did she call?' as he tried to find an opening to leave.

"Hey you! The man in the white shirt and black trousers!"

Turning towards the old woman with a flustered face, Kazuki also asked, "Was it me who was called?"

"Yes, you! Come here quickly!"

"... Huh...?"

***

"One two three!"

Shot!

Check! Check!

At that moment, Kazuki was posing with Marin.

Despite being flustered by the situation, Kazuki executed his pose splendidly.

He struck a couple-themed pose with a stunning girl named Marin!

They had done many poses, possibly dozens, demonstrating a great range of versatility.

And there was one fact that Kazuki couldn't help but smile helplessly at.

It was kind of silly to say, but this was his first time hugging a girl!

And, to make things more incredible, she was a stunning model!

However, Kazuki maintained his composure quite well.

Although...

"Okay! Now, pose with the man hugging the woman's belly from behind!" the organizer of the photo shoot commanded.

"Hahh...? Um... How do you do that?" Kazuki asked, trying to get guidance from the man who was sitting on the chair, looking at the monitor.

Before the man could answer Kazuki's question, Marin suddenly took Kazuki's hands from behind his body.

"Like this! You'll hug my belly, with your eyes fixed on my face!" Marin said in her distinctively cheerful, yet graceful and gentle voice.

"A-Ahh… I see…" Kazuki was slightly stunned when Marin took the initiative and struck a very romantic pose that amazed the audience with her beauty and prowess as a model.

'Since this girl has done so well, then I shouldn't be a burden to this modeling team!' Kazuki steeled his resolve and started hugging Marin with care and tenderness. He then put on a smiling expression with an aura that was full of sincerity and love.

The moment Hatsune saw the pose, she was truly amazed. "How can a novice volunteer dive into the role like a pro...???" The pair of models were really deep into their roles, as if there was a genuine love story between them.

The man who had been busy adjusting the image on the monitor screen was also stunned by the depth of the role. "They have auras that resonate with each other and are very in sync with the combination of two characters that complement each other...!!"

"Shit!! He is a hidden gem!"

"How could it be...!"
