Hotaru is even more popular than she thought she could be.

Although the style she chooses to dress is not considered mainstream at the moment, she can almost be called a standout in this niche style circle.

Sales of Hotaru's crop top tights and miniskirts skyrocketed after her photos were released in magazines — and the stagnation in sales of their matching outfits is a direct indication that Hotaru is a credit for mixing and matching the two different outfits.

What's more, she has been favored from abroad.

Compared with Caucasian women in Europe and the United States, Japanese women belong to a more petite category, and a girl like Hotaru, who combines petite and beautiful and gives people an endless desire to protect, can make many white people excited.

At school, he is a good child who studies seriously, and on the outside he is a model supernova with infinite scenery, and although such days are busy, Hotaru is very happy.

———————— but fate attacked her with extreme malice.

About two months later.

"......" Hotaru looked at the contents of the open envelope in her hand. - A stack of photographs and a piece of stationery.

Hotaru glanced at the letter and her face turned pale, and she immediately looked at the pile of photos.

In the first photo, a drunk, crimson-faced Hotaru is kissing a middle-aged man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties in a dimly lit bar.

The second photo is a follow-up to the first one. In this photo, Hotaru's tongue sticks out and is ** the middle-aged man's lips and teeth.

The third photo shows a middle-aged man also sticking out his tongue, responding to Hotaru's enthusiasm.

The photos in the back are also arranged in chronological order, and the scale is larger than the other.

"......" Hotaru frowned, biting her lip, and her hands holding the photo trembled slightly.

If these were really things she had done, then she wouldn't have much to say, but how could she do such a thing!? Just for the sake of money to get involved with such an old man?

Although she knew that the photos were fake, she looked closely and found that they looked very natural, and if they were exposed, they would most likely be taken for real.

Throwing the photo on the table, Hotaru looked at the letter again.

[Dear Miss Hotaru Mizuke, these photos were captured by accident. I believe that if these photos end up in society, it will have a big impact on you - not only in your career, but even your classmates in school will know about your character. If you want to keep your reputation, you have to announce your retirement from modeling within 5 days. I'm bothered if you get a new contract after that - it's not a pleasant thing to socially kill such a pretty girl. 】

Hotaru couldn't do anything about it—she didn't know whose path she was in her way, whose good things she was ruining, so she couldn't even make these things public and die with that person.

In the face of such a threat, she can only admit defeat.

As soon as the dream began, it was brutally ended.

————————

The ratchet effect refers to the fact that consumers will increase their expenses when their income is higher, but will not reduce their expenses when their income is lower, but will try to maintain the same level until it falls to a reasonable level after a long time. In other words: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." ”

Hotaru faced this problem - the previous two months of modeling life made him really earn a lot of money, and the income from those two months also made her start to spend money on better cosmetics and more exquisite clothes.

And now, such a high level of consumption will be maintained for a while, which will also frantically squeeze out Hotaru's savings - minors cannot work more than 28 hours a week while in school, which means that Hotaru's income is unlikely to exceed 100,000 yen at most, which is completely unable to match this spending power.

God is a pervert of bad taste.

The door for Hotaru to enter and exit for junior high school students is closed, and the hole for Hotaru, a beautiful and cute young girl, is wide open. A voice shouted, "Climb out and give you money!" ”

…………

"You are?" After finishing the fight, standing under the street lamp, Hotaru looked at the uncle in front of him with a little wariness.

"Forehead......" Uncle had obviously anticipated that Hotaru might have this reaction, and took the initiative to take a few steps back, raising his hands to the same height as his head to show that he was not threatening. To tell you the truth, I'm a person who specializes in recommending good-looking girls to the chairmen and office workers of various companies. Are you interested? ”

"What do you mean?" Although she probably understood what the other party meant, Hotaru still confirmed.

Hotaru was reluctant to do so, but she chose to ask - after all, she is only more strapped for money now than she was before she became a model because of her rising expenses.

"It's not a bad deal in general," the uncle replied with a smile. "You petite girl, they will only love you like a sister. My clients are decent people who are very rich and have a lot of status, and they are very generous with their money - and more importantly, they just want to have a chat with you and relieve their mental stress, and they won't do anything too much. ”

"......" Hotaru examined herself a little confusedly - she was only less than one and a half meters tall, and most people would think that she hadn't grown up when they saw her...... Ah, it doesn't seem to be.

She now wears high heels, so at first glance she looks like a high school girl. In addition, the clothes she is wearing now belong to a tight turtleneck sweater that can highlight her figure, so it is very likely to be regarded as a high school girl.

"It's because the patrons are decent people with status that they ask for a beautiful girl like you to accompany them - rest assured, you are equal in this regard, and they will not force you to do anything. Under normal circumstances, just looking at your good figure can make them feel refreshed. "As if it senses that Hotaru still has concerns," the uncle continued. They're wealthy people who usually hang out in high-end establishments, and they'll take you there to enjoy when they meet you – think delicious caviar, foie gras, black truffles. You just have to chat with them to enjoy such a great treatment. ”

"A beautiful girl like you will surely attract the eyes of the richest patrons, and a small amount of money may be a small amount of money to them." The patron was still talking. "A dinner that is very enjoyable for customers can make them pay 10,000 yen or more for you, and they may even buy something for you. You just show off your good figure and your beauty - it doesn't cost you anything that can't be undone; And they can provide you with the money you need most. It's good for everybody to trade what they're not so important and get something very important, isn't it? ”

"......" Hotaru thought for a moment before suddenly laughing.

"Sir, would you mind giving me a copy of your business card?"
