I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga

Chapter 65: Part-time Job Offer

Chapter 65: Part-time Job Offer

Senior, have you ever considered doing a part-time job?

Minato Naoya, who had suddenly joined us, posed the question.

Part-time job?

The suggestion caught me off guard.

As I blinked in confusion, Minato Naoya chuckled softly and elaborated.

Actually, Im involved in the filming of a youth drama set in an academy. Theyre looking for someone to play a minor role as a gang leader, and I immediately thought of you, Senior Kim Yu-seong, so I recommended you to the director.

Me?

I hadnt met Minato Naoya, a first-year, until today.

The fact that we had never spoken before made the proposal even more unexpected.

Although you might not know me, Senior, Ive been aware of you since I enrolled. I dont often attend school, but I can recognize members of the Student Council. Besides, you stand out even from a distance.

Her words were undeniable.

Most people who met me once tended to remember my face the next time.

Yet that was one matter, and this was quite another.

Ive never tried acting before. Id likely be a burden.

You just need to deliver a line. The camera director will handle the rest.

Her persistence made it difficult to decline politely.

As I tried to figure out how to gracefully decline the offer, Minato Naoya glanced at me and pulled out her smartphone.

She then showed me a message on her chat app.

If you agree to appear, we can pay you this amount as a fee.

The chat window displayed a figure of 50,000 yen.

Really?

Surprise widened my eyes.

Although the amount was less than what Sasha had given me, it was still significant for a minor screen role for an ordinary student.

If the director likes your performance, he might offer you more. I think it could be beneficial for you.

Ugh.

The concrete offer was enticing.

Having mostly spent the 2 million yen from Sasha on a home gym, the opportunity was quite tempting.

Especially since I was in need of a new jacket.

Feeling I might be swayed by her persuasive words, I decided to tactically retreat.

Rustle!

Can I think about it a bit more and contact you later? It doesnt seem like something I need to decide right away.

Thats fine, but Id prefer if you could decide by today. We dont have many days left until the next shooting schedule. If you refuse, well have to look for another actor.

Okay.

After I nodded, I picked up my empty lunch box to leave the cafeteria, and Satoru, who had been stunned, snapped back to reality.

Wait a minute! Yu-seong! Uh, could I get just one autograph, please?

Minato Naoya nodded with a kind smile.

Its fine. Do you have paper and a pen for an autograph?

No, I dont.

Hehe, well, thats lucky. I often carry these around since it happens a lot at school.

Minato Naoya took out a notebook, signed a page, and tore it out for him.

Thanks! Ill treasure this forever!

If you do, its my honor.

Minato Naoya said, slightly bowed her head, and then stood up to follow me.

She extended her smartphone and said,

Could I have your email address, Senior? Ill need it to contact you.

Sure.

I obediently exchanged IDs as she had suggested.

I should respond here, right?

Yes. Thats right. If its Senior Kim Yu-seong, any personal conversation is always okay.

With a teasingly playful tone, Minato Naoya put her sunglasses back on and said,

Ill be going now. I enjoyed our conversation today.

Just like when she first arrived, she disappeared like the wind.

I had intended to leave first, but somehow, she beat me to it.

I looked down at my smartphone with Minato Naoyas messenger ID registered and decided to head back to the classroom with Satoru, who was still lost in his happiness.

What?! Ryu-chan is going to be on TV?!

No, its just a minor role offer for now. I havent accepted it yet.

When I mentioned the conversation I had with Minato Naoya during the break, Rikas eyes lit up.

If its the drama Minato Naoya is currently in, it must be that one! The Blue Apocalypse of Youth at the Academy!

Whats that exactly?

I didnt understand why someone would name it like that.

Why do youth and apocalypse appear in the same sentence?

Huh? Ryu-chan, dont you know? Its based on a very famous manga.

If its not a series from Jump, I dont know it.

Ah, well, you cant help it then. The Blue was serialized in Shonen Magazine.

Rika, an expert on shonen manga, said this while pretending to stroke a beard.

Its a surprisingly profound story about a passionate young teacher who reforms delinquent youths and touches on social issues. Minato Naoya plays a student in the protagonists class.

Its exactly the kind of content that appeals to teens and people in their twenties.

Arent most school-based stories like that? I also found the original quite entertaining.

Rika said this with a beaming smile, then rested her chin on her desk and asked,

So, are you going to do it?

Ill think about it more.

I said this while preparing for the next class, then suddenly asked,

By the way, what were you three talking about during lunch?

Huh?

At this, Rika looked momentarily stunned.

But she quickly waved it off, saying,

Nothing much. We were just chatting to get to know each other better, girl stuff.

Really?

It seemed like there wasnt much to it.

I thought something must have come up since they usually eat lunch together but had decided to eat separately today.

Well, thats good. I was wondering if I would have to eat alone tomorrow.

Satoru, being popular in class, always had plans.

He had time by chance today; otherwise, he would have ended up eating alone, like at the beginning of the semester.

Of course, if I went to the Student Council, they would eat with me, but that would be bothersome in its own way.

Rustle!

Lets get to studying. The teacher is coming in.

While chatting, Rika said this and took out her notebook and pencil case.

I also took out my science book from my bag.

It was the last class of the day.

Minato Naoya was a celebrity.

She was so well-known that most Japanese would respond with Ah, her? upon hearing her name.

She started her acting career at the age of six.

Her first role was as the young daughter of a supporting character in a weekend drama.

Influenced by her actress mother, she often frequented theater groups from a young age, displaying a natural talent for acting.

Among her peers, she stood out due to her exceptional acting skills and quickly gained fame for her diverse acting range, which led to roles in various fields.

She has appeared in over ten commercials so far.

Last year, she gained the title of national younger sister for her role as the protagonists younger sister in a movie and was enjoying the peak of her career.

However, Minato Naoya had one secret.

It was her immense love for muscles.

She developed a muscle fetish a year ago after watching a Mr. Olympia video on a variety show.

Muscles that seemed like living Greek statues.

The aesthetic of a body refined to the extreme.

The oiled, coppery shining muscles ignited a fire in the heart of the 15-year-old girl.

Since then, as she entered puberty, she has kept this secret passion from her family and manager, holding it close to herself.

Instead of fashion magazines like other girls her age, she preferred muscle-laden fitness magazines and even delved into videos of domestic and international bodybuilding competitions.

Though she was physically a slender high school girl, her knowledge rivaled that of protein-preferring machos.

As Minato Naoyas muscle fetish gradually deepened, even amidst her busy schedule, at the Ichijo Academy entrance ceremony, she discovered a man who perfectly matched her ideal type.

Kim Yu-seong.

A famed individual of the academy, the Student Councils secret weapon.

Witnessing his sculpted, formidable physique, a product of immense talent and relentless effort, Minato Naoya felt gratitude to a higher power for the first time.

She was grateful for the opportunity to attend this school.

Even amidst her busy schedule, she began gathering various pieces of information about him.

Some might have called it stalking, but she felt it was justified.

Since it was all collected through a detective agency, she hadnt personally done anything.

Even though she had never spoken to him, she was nurturing her fondness for Kim Yu-seong alone.

Then, she received a call from the detective agency she had been tasked with following Kim Yu-seong.

They claimed to have captured an incredible video that day.
