Chapter 035
I want to go home. That was how I felt, without a lie. It was the school that raised concerns about my female form, and I only proposed the support class out of kindness.
"That's the job of the teachers to decide, and I only proposed it. It's up to the school to decide whether to do it or not, and as a student, I just have to follow it."
"Well, that's true, but..."
"There doesn't seem to be anything I can do as a student, so I'll excuse myself. Please contact me when the treatment has been decided."
I said this with a sales smile and stood up to leave. Ignoring the principal who immediately reached out to stop me, I left the principal's office and exited the school.
On my way home, I stopped recording on my IC recorder and smartphone. As I was about to put my smartphone in my pocket, a call came in. It was a number I didn't recognize, but I decided to answer just to be sure.
"This is the 2222 Guild Dungeon Branch. Is this Takimoto Yu?"
"Yes, Takimoto."
"Regarding the recent incident, THK has requested to use the video filmed by the perpetrator in a program. The copyright of the video has been transferred to the guild, but we are contacting you because we need the consent of the person involved, Takimoto."
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected caller and the purpose of the call. THK is the abbreviation for the Imperial Broadcasting Corporation (Teikoku Housou Kyoukai). It's easy to understand if you think of it as something like the organization that forcibly collected reception fees in my previous life.
"What kind of program will that be?"
"It will be a program that explores criminal acts in the dungeon. It will be broadcast with an example of a criminal act that was filmed, and the content will not be disadvantageous to Takimoto, the victim."
Unlike the public broadcasting in my previous life, the broadcasting corporations in this life do not report biased reports that pander to other countries. Well, you could also say that there's no one to pander to since the peninsula nation that we pandered to in our previous life no longer exists.
"That's fine. Please tell them it's okay."
"I understand. Since there is a contract regarding the contents, I would like you to come here soon. How about that?"
"In that case, I will come tomorrow."
I told them that I would come tomorrow and hung up the phone. I thought it was a hassle to go to the trouble of making a contract, but it was much better than making a verbal agreement and having trouble later.
When I got home, I told my family about what I was told at school during dinner and the contents of the phone call I received on the way home.
"Don't you think it's embarrassing as an educator to ask students for help..."
"I wonder if this was more pressure than they thought..."
My father was shocked about the school, and my mother spoke with a bit of amusement. And there was no particular opposition to me going to the guild tomorrow, so I decided to go first thing in the morning.
"Is Yu also making a national debut on local TV?"
"I have to record the show."
"Onii-chan, even if a talent agency scouts you, you turn them down!"
My family looked a little happy. Mai says something outrageous with a serious expression, but it's only shown briefly on THK so that can't be possible.
If the genre of this world was romance or romantic comedy, then it might be possible, but this is low fantasy with dungeons and skills.
It's not like the world is actually based on a modern otome game, right? ... I hope that isn't.
