Video un: sneaky_fox

[damn_kitsune]

[The video is taken from Mitsuhide's perspective since he's the one making it after all. The subject of the video? Why the Demon King himself! Oda Nobunaga of course!]

[The video shows the inside of the bar that Mitsuhide works at. More specifically, it's the view from behind the counter. And Nobunaga is shown wearing the button down shirt that the other bartenders were wearing. He also opted to wear a tie, which Mitsuhide normally forgoes. That said tie, though, was currently in one of the glasses of beer that Nobunaga was arranging on a tray.]

[Mitsuhide could be heard snickering from behind the camera.]

You really need to mind where your tie goes, my lord.

[And that's when Nobunaga notices his now wet tie. He glared towards Mitsuhide, took off the tie and went back to arranging the drinks so that the tray would be more balanced.]

[Once he was satisfied with the arrangement, Nobunaga than moved to the patron side of the counter. Of course Mitsuhide followed him because he had to make sure that he got all of this one video.]

[Nobunaga then did a handstand, which he then managed to slide the tray and balance it on one foot. After he moved a short distance to a nearby table, he managed to transfer the tray to the other foot, lower it and carefully slide it onto the table, much the delight of the patrons at the table.]

[Everyone nearby clapped once Nobunaga was standing back on his feet. Mitsuhide could be heard chuckling some.]

Very good, my lord! Now... Catch!

[Just before the video cuts off, Mitsuhide's hand comes into view as he tossed an empty bottle to the Demon King, who had a bit of a surprised look on his face.]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by fashion model.

[Fashion and modeling are somethings that haven't come up in his research on modern times yet.]

[happyberry]

[ She attaches a rather glamorous, sensual photo of two strikingly good-looking people — both... very clearly tall, indeed... The man with cool blue hair and cold blue eyes stands probably at 6'0", and the girl is barely shorter than Mitsuhide himself, were it a full-body picture. But it's not, so they're just clearly gangly... and glamorous as all get out. These are two full-blooded Japanese people?! No way! ]

Like this. To advertise for clothing brands.

[ She sends another picture for good measure, this one of the same girl luxuriating in a maroon tartan suit with white fur trim on an antique Western-style couch, the image of confidence and grace... And this time a full-body shot of this 170cm, legs-for-days, waif of a tall drink of water. And she was told she's short, too! ]

[damn_kitsune]

They look like they don't eat much.

[Says the guy who is known to skip meals when he gets busy because he finds eating troublesome.]

An interesting way to advertise clothing though.

[happyberry]

Eeehhhh, you're not familiar with it at all...?! Miwako thought maybe you were imagining a runway model versus a magazine model or so! You mean to say you've never heard of fashion modeling, period...?!

Akechi Mitsuhide is my left hand man, from my time. [Hijacks to object! Also he's wet, and his shirt is ruined. He cannot juggle or catch.]

What do you mean he's pretty? [Huuuuuuffff.]

[Totes sulking!]

[happyberry]

Haaaaa—?! That's the guy! No way! No way!

[ Why's she so flappable... Pipe down... ]

You're still, um— nevermind! [ She nervously shuts herself up. ] Nee, nee, it's true, though, don't you think? He has such a pretty face! Such striking eyes! Miwako never knew Oda Nobunaga-sama was as good-looking as he is, or this guy, either... Maa, all the samurai bishounen! Historical ikemen paradise, wow!

[ It's a Paradise Kiss tradition that veil that covers the fourth wall must be slightly translucent, right... ]

[konpeito_aji]

He looks like a fox always plotting something. [Please ignore his lover is a kitsune princess, so foxes may just be his type. But yes, he loves Mitsuhide. In his own semi-abusive way.]

My other self can outdo him in the host club bar, for sure.

[happyberry]

Yeah, it's a look, a sly grin — foxy daddy! Silver fox! Huaaaa, I bet Isabella would fall in love with him!

[ She's too excited about this. Beautiful people are just so overwhelming. So many beautiful people. ]

[happyberry]

Wait— "o-other self?" ...Maa, what, when you're drunk? Miwako has an other drunk self, too — smoochy self, muah~

[ His drunk alter ego? That's her interpretation. And apparently... she has her own. ]

[damn_kitsune]

"Foxy daddy?" [He actually finds that amusing]

But yes, I'm indeed Akechi Mitsuhide. As you can guess fashion models are not exactly a thing during my time since it's apparently a modern concept. Mostly a seamstress would get business by being masters of their craft and letting that spread through word of mouth.

[happyberry]

There's so much more to it than that in my time... I dunno if I can say it's easier or harder. Just a totally different industry. And so influenced by the Western fashion world, too, you know. Like for example, as a person, at 180cm, you are pretty tall, especially for a Japanese man! But as a model, that's short. The girl in the pictures, my friend Caroline, she's full-blooded Japanese, too, and 170cm, but even though she's so tall compared to almost everyone else around her, she's considered short for a model...! She's gonna have a tough time working internationally! But I think she'll defy the odds, I believe in her spirit~

[damn_kitsune]

Strange... If the idea was to sale clothing to the general population, wouldn't it make sense to have models that reflect that population? Having all tall models sounds very limiting.

[happyberry]

No, no, it's the illusion — the spell they cast, the glamor!

[damn_kitsune]

Is that not possible with people who are of average heights?

[Though he can appreciate it being part of an illusion.]

It still sounds strange to me, but I'm willing to try this modeling thing. What would be required of me?

[happyberry]

Hm— that's a larger conversation.

Can we meet in person? Miwako gets off in two hours. Do you like boba tea?

[ Get off your phone, you're at work, bad girl! ]

[damn_kitsune]

I've had tea, but I don't know what boba tea is.

[Though he'll drink it anyway, since the guy doesn't have a sense of taste. The little balls may throw him off.]

I get off in a few hours as well. Do you have a place in mind on where you want to meet?

[happyberry]

Mm! There's a cafe that serves bubble tea — you can try a new experience~ With tapioca pearls!

[ She drops a link to the address of the particular cafe she has in mind, not far from her own workplace in the center of town. ]

I'd like to see how you look in person. The camera can be deceiving... and if it is deceiving me, then either way it's a win, nee, hehe~!

[damn_kitsune]

Sounds interesting enough.

[The cafe wasn't that far from the bar either.]

I shall see in a few hours then.

action;

[happyberry]

[ And when promised, she's at the cafe waiting, still wearing the same outfit now in full view, with the poofiest of petticoats giving her dress's gingham skirt an impressive fullness. She's got on black rockinghorse shoes with straps that lace up to the knee beneath frilly white knee-length socks with lace trim. She even has perfectly manicured nails to match her whole white-pink-black ensemble, painted with a glossy black polish. She's sitting at a table outside near the entrance so she'll be easily seen right away in her big black cowboy hat. And indeed... she's not tall at all, herself. She's several inches shorter than Mitsuhide when she stands up as she spots him approach, bringing her hands to cover her mouth in excitement and surprise. ]

Oh! It's you! So you are so gorgeous!

[ So forward. She forgot her formality, but quickly remembers in a bit of a buzz, and hastily bows deeply to him from the waist. ]

action!

[damn_kitsune]

[Once Mitsuhide was off of work, he had changes back into his normal clothes. Modern clothes were okay, but he was still trying to get used to them. Sometimes they just felt a little too restrictive for his taste, so he either went with his normal clothes, or a blend of modern and traditional clothes when he was not at work.]

[He returned the bow, though not a deep.]

And you must be Miwako. Nice to know that I wasn't deceiving on camera.

[He looked over the girl and what she wore. Her size and clothes made him think of the dolls he had recently seen in shop windows.]

[happyberry]

[ She gives him an obvious once over, before stepping away from her chair to approach him closer, and begins circling him slowly with an open-faced, curious, yet analytical expression, craning her neck and leaning different ways to examine him from various angles as she does. It's... not exactly comfortable? Or polite? But that's not why they're here, is it! ]

Nee, so you're a samurai, right? So you're in good shape, I imagine. I can't tell with this loose-fitting traditional clothing, are you very musclebound, or more lithe? Obviously slender, though... And nice skin.

2/2

[happyberry]

[ She finally stops once she's made a full 360 and returned to stand in front of him. She quirks her head and gives an oddly bright smile out of nowhere. ]

These colors are very becoming on you~

[damn_kitsune]

I told you I didn't have a scary face.

[Look who is all smug now]

[konpeito_aji]

While Miwako-chan has impeccable taste, she's probably just oblivious to your real face, and simply dazzled by the historical implications of your name.

[Except not really, because model stuff. You know what? Shut up. He'll do something to get even for this, when Nobunaga decides what.]

[damn_kitsune]

I'm fairly sure that's not the case, my lord, considering she wants to hire me as a model.

[He gives a bit of a chuckle.]

Are you jealous?
