Originally, the three-piece outfit that Takemi Tae gave to Miki Kashiwagi was not his current classic look—a white shirt, a gradient vest, and a long black trench coat—but a proper tie and tailcoat.
The current classic look was something Miki put together himself after watching British television dramas. A tailcoat still looked a bit like a bartender, whereas switching to a long trench coat felt much more natural and gave off somewhat of a dramatic character vibe.
Thus, dressed so impeccably—complete with black gloves and a wide-brimmed flat cap—Miki stepped into the spacious hall where many people were already waiting for the shoot, and numerous gazes immediately converged on him.
This guy... trying way too hard. What is this, cosplay?
We're all here to play rock music. Isn't dressing up this formally make you a total show-off?
"Um... hello, everyone."
Miki wasn't completely oblivious to the atmosphere. Sensing that the gazes were rather concentrated and somewhat unfriendly, he still gave a respectful greeting to his peers in the hall.
No one responded. You had to act completely indifferent toward a poseur like this; otherwise, you'd actually let him pull it off.
In the end, Sakiko—who had genuinely lived a life of aristocracy—stepped forward. Together with the four girls and Hitori, she offered a respectful greeting. Since nobody wants to make enemies with cute high school girls, at least a few people responded.
