Start in DxD as Motohama: Leveling Up in Another World-Chapter 13: Unusual Situation (I)

Today is Finally the Day of Issei's Date with Reynare

In the end, throughout this week, he was only collecting random items in the other world, so yeah, he didn't take any part-time job interviews. On the contrary, since it was possible to be self-sufficient in that house in the other world, he barely left home in Japan.

Well, fortunately, thanks to the continuous collection of dropped items, he had an incredible amount of money at the moment, which he would make sure to use wisely.

His level had increased, including his skill levels, and speaking of the [True Martial Arts] skill, he could now easily perform moves similar to those in manga. The contents of the book he had bought for [True Martial Arts] could also be applied in real battles.

However, he still couldn't use magic.

By the way, regarding the drop items from the Goblin General, he discovered that it was an A-Class monster since its [Magic Stone] was A-Rank. Other than that, he didn't receive any particularly special or unusual items. But to think that an A-Rank Magic Stone was worth 5 million yen—that was something that truly surprised him.

This past week had been really peaceful, and there was something nice as well. As he had thought, his [Language Comprehension] skill was indeed active, making English class much easier. He wasn't good at English before, after all.

And now, today was the long-awaited date. Shinji felt like the day had come so quickly. He had to get ready. However, the problems he had been ignoring until now had piled up—such as doing laundry, which was a considerable waste of time.

"But... it's the same clothes all the time..."

The clothes he was wearing now were something he had in that other world, and apart from uniforms and gym clothes, he didn't have any other clothes that fit his current body.

Anyway, he wasn't interested in fashion, and to begin with, he didn't have a good sense of it, but wearing the same clothes all the time wasn't ideal. Even though he washed his previous clothes, they didn't change in appearance, so they would still look dirty from other people's perspectives.

But now, he had to go to town to get some items he didn't have.

"Aside from ingredients, I've run out of some daily necessities."

While heading to the city, Shinji took out 50,000 yen and put it in his wallet. The first thing he would buy would be basic necessities, and then he would get some clothes.

...

"Let's see... looks like this is everything."

He had finished buying more daily necessities, which was one of his original reasons for going to the city. There was a large shopping mall in town where you could find almost everything.

"Hey, hey, look at that guy..."

"No way, who is he? A model?"

"He's handsome and has a great style, he's really extraordinary..."

"Isn't he too sexy!?"

"Now that I think about it, I heard there's a fashion magazine photoshoot happening today..."

"H-hey, let's go talk to him for a moment."

"Eh, are you serious!?"

As he walked, he noticed people whispering around him, and suddenly, a woman he didn't know called out to him.

"Hey, you."

"Eh!?"

Turning around, he saw a group of women smiling at him.

"Yeah. If you're free, why don't you hang out with us onee-chans?"

"Hey, is it okay?"

"Eh, ah, umm..."

This sudden turn of events caught Shinji off guard. Looking at the women—while they couldn't compare to some of the girls he was usually around—they weren't bad at all. To be honest, he wanted to have a good time with them, but right now, he had priorities.

"Sorry... I have something to do..."

He tried to look as apologetic as possible while smiling gently. The women, who were momentarily stunned, started panicking instead.

"I-it's okay, don't worry about it!"

"Yeah, yeah, sorry for bothering you!"

Shinji then waved goodbye and continued with his errands, hearing the women whispering behind him.

"...Did you get a good look at his face?"

"...It was dangerous for my heart."

"I thought he was amazing... that apologetic expression was just like the CEO from the dramas my niece watches..."

"Anyway, he was dangerous."

Ignoring their comments, Shinji kept walking through the mall. When he arrived, he started browsing the men's fashion section, but with so many different brands, he had no idea which one to choose.

"In my previous life, I never cared about fashion... I was a corporate slave. With the salary I earned, I often thought I wouldn't make it to the end of the month. Because of that, I gave up on watching anime or playing video games. Damn! I couldn't even get a girlfriend."

He murmured with frustration. Remembering his past life was never enjoyable.

Well, his current appearance was also too simple. After all, he was only wearing a white shirt and black pants. He also had shiny navy-black leather shoes and a black moon necklace—rare items he obtained from defeating the Hell Slime. While they were special clothing in another world, in this one, they weren't exactly fashionable in his opinion.

As he walked through the mall, he suddenly heard someone yelling.

"Hey! How much longer are you going to make me wait!?"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Just apologizing isn't enough! I've been waiting here for over an hour, you know!? Do you really have the guts to make me wait!?"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...!"

"Satou-san, calm down. I really don't mind."

"It's Saitou! And it's not okay! You shouldn't spoil him! It's bad for him if you just let it slide!"

"Y-yes, but sir..."

"Silence!"

He shouted angrily at the man who had arrived late.

"If you hear that the reason he overslept was because of a hangover, then there's no excuse left... It's only natural that Saitou is angry! Compared to that, Ai-chan is admirable. You're taking this seriously even though you've become really famous now... we just want this bastard to follow your example so he won't always be late."

Said another man.

"A-ahaha..."

Looking in the direction of the shouting, Shinji saw a man with greenish-blond hair in a business suit yelling at another man in a suit, who had his head down in a shrunken posture. Behind them, a girl about Shinji's age with long, loose, bluish-purple hair—whose exceptional beauty was noticeable even from a distance—was trying to calm the businessman. Next to her, a man with brown hair wearing a fuchsia suit stood by her side.

When Shinji looked more closely, he saw that the man in the fuchsia suit was holding a camera and what seemed to be photography equipment. There were many similar things lined up around them.

"Is this some kind of photoshoot?"

Shinji muttered, curious.

He assumed it was a celebrity doing a photoshoot or filming a drama.

In fact, there were quite a few regular people gathered around, so it might be something even more impressive than just a photoshoot.

"Hmm, is that woman an actress?"

Checking the situation, it seemed like she was quite famous. Since he didn't have a TV at home and knew almost nothing about celebrities, he had no clue who she was.

"I won't be able to check out that store like this, so I'll look somewhere else."

With that, he turned his back on the photoshoot area.

"But you have another appointment too, right? It would be bad for you, so this time, I'll just do it with Ai."

The man in the fuchsia suit sighed.

"T-that's..."

"There's no problem, right? I'm a professional, so I'll make sure it works! It's not like I'm saying I'll only use one model from now on, you know."

The man in the fuchsia shirt turned around.

"Well, of course, I'll never use someone who likes to show up late again, like this guy."

The businessman shot a sharp glare at the man who had been late.

"Y-yes..."

"But we have a problem. For today's shoot, I was planning to use another male model alongside Ai-chan since it's a couples' product... Hey, maybe we could use an acceptable ordinary guy from this shopping mall instead. You have all the clothing sizes, right?"

He asked the staff.

"Yes, we have everything."

"Alright then... Oh, what about that guy over there? Hey! You there!"

Shinji had already lost interest in their discussion and continued browsing for clothes.

"Even if I check out other stores, the clothes all look the same no matter where I go. Has my sense of fashion completely deteriorated?"

He murmured, passing by another mannequin dressed in clothing that didn't catch his attention.

"Hey, you! The one who looks deep in thought!"

Shinji snapped out of his thoughts when he realized someone was calling him. Curious, he looked around.

"Yes, you. The one looking around! Can you wait a moment?"

"Eh?"

He instinctively turned around, only to see the man in the fuchsia shirt staring at him in shock. Not just the muscular man, but also the rest of the staff and the beautiful girls were looking at him, equally surprised.

For a moment, he thought they must have meant someone else, but when he noticed he was the only one in that area, he realized they were referring to him. So, he walked toward them.

"Uhm, what's going on?"

When he asked the most eye-catching person in the group—the man in fuchsia—he strangely imagined the background behind him flashing like a lightning strike.

"You! Would you like to participate in this photoshoot!?"

"......Eh?"

He was completely stunned.
