When the meal ended...Sensei called out the maid.
「Katsuko...is the room ready?」
「Yes, as you instructed」
Sensei had a satisfied smile from the maid's answer.
「Then, should we go?...Morishita, you're dismissed. You can rest now」
The butler bowed, and left.
「...Shirasaka-sama, Yoshida-sama, here please」
The maid Katuko-san knows our name...!
We went out of the dining room being led by Katsuko-san.
On our back is, Sensei...She's sandwiching us, we can't run away.
We returned to the entrance gall and went up the second floor stairs.
The maid opened the big door to the left.
「...Here」
The room was...formerly a western style dance hall. A big space of approximately two classroom spreads out. The ceiling is also high.
Of course...it's likely that a ball hasn't happened for dozens of years anymore.
On one side of the room are several machines for gym...Is sensei using it to train?
And at the back of the room...what's there is like a photography studio...!
A big white cloth is hanging down from the ceiling to the floor. Is this the one they call a backdrop??
There's a light blue carpet spread only on the floor in front of the backdrop.
There's lighting equipment on both sides and a big white umbrella thing...that's a machine that has a built in flash if I recall correctly.
And there's a digital single lens reflex camera put on the tripod at the front...!
The best equipment for the professionals. I think this stuff's costs lightly cross a million yen.
And there's three of them lining up.
Even more surprising is that there are several digital camera's of normal size being put on the side wagon.
There's a laptop on the table.
「Then, take off your shoes and stand in front of the camera」
The female teacher said and as she look at Shirasaka-san.
「...Eh? Uhm」
Shirasaka-san doesn't seem to be following the events well...
「I said it didn't I? I'm going to take a souvenir photo...don't worry. It's okay if you're still dressed」
「...Shirasaka-sama, please go this way」
Being prompted by the maid, Shirasaksa-san took off her shoes without understanding the situation and went to the carpet...
「...Then, Katsuko, please.」
「...Certainly」
Katsuko-san began to fiddle with the camera on the middle of the three.
「...Yoshida-kun, come here」
Sensei went to the table and the sofa on the wall.
It's a bit far from the spot of photography...approximately ten meters.
If I get that far, I won't be able to see Shirasaka-san being photographed.
That's regrettable however...I can't go against Sensei's instructions.
Sensei sat down on the sofa and opened the laptop that's on the table.
「Then here we go...please look down」
The maid is talking to Shirasaka-san.
It seems that the photography is Katsuko-san's work somehow or another...
「Hey...Please wait a moment」
Shirasaka-san is at loss.
Shirasaka-san dressed in her usual uniform becomes stiff in front of the camera.
「Ah, okay. That's it, it looks fresh!...Don't move!」
「...Yess!!」
The flash shined.
A shutter sound.
Pipipipipi...The charging sound of the flash continues afterwards.
