I’m Incompetent and a Failure, and My Childhood Friend, Who Is a Beautiful Kyoto Dialect Vice President Idol on the Outside but in Reality Is a Menhera Yandere, Is Dependent on Me, but Please, Leave Me Alone!
Today is Saturday.
Two days of the promised reward that comes equally to those who have survived the annoying month-long golden hell.
In other words, it’s a day off.
However, I am filled with an indescribable sadness because it is an obvious fact that hell will resume on Monday.
So I’d like to spend these two days in a meaningful way, but as an otaku, I’m limited in what I can do.
I can only lock myself up in my room and read books (novels, manga), play video games, or maybe even make plastic models.
Yes, plastic models.
Today is the release day of plastic models.
Every Saturday is the day that a major toy company releases some new plastic models.
The demand for new plastic models is so high that you have to line up in the morning before the stores open to be able to buy them.
In recent years, a worldwide epidemic of this kind has caused a great deal of confusion in the global marketplace.
The Japanese toy market is no different.
Plastic models, figurines, track car, games, and all the other genres that otaku love have been greatly affected.
The demand for plastic models was greatly affected by the ” shut-in” demand, and even customers who had never bought plastic models before started to buy them.
We plastic model users experienced a long period of winter as plastic models that could be bought at any time were cut off from store shelves.
Well, things are a lot better now than they were two years ago, but you can never be too careful.
It is clear from experience that if you go to a store after it opens, there is a high probability that it will be sold out.
As a stupid and incompetent person, I understood this by missing out on the plastic model I wanted several times and learning a bad lesson.
That’s why I line up at the store an hour before it opens and prepare to buy!
Even an idiot can buy what he wants if he tries hard enough.
Purchasing plastic models is the result of hard work.
And we must make sure that the resellers, who are the natural enemy of plastic model users, don’t get there before us.
Then, let’s go to battle!
I left home with an image in my mind of a knight or a samurai valiantly going into battle.
I straddle a bicycle and head for an electronics store about 15 minutes away one way, feeling the hassle of getting there….
“You start very early, Aki kun, don’t you?”
“Hae?”
“Where are you going? Aku kun?”
I met the worst person at the worst time.
I wonder how easy it is to meet someone just because you live next door to each other…
“Kosaka-san…”
“Yeah, it’s Kosaka-san~, so where are you going?”
“……What does that have to do with Kosaka-san?”
“Sure, at least tell me where you’re going.”
“…I’m going to buy some plastic models …….bye~”
“Hee~, I’ll go with you then.”
“Haa? Why?”
“It’s fine… it’s like a date.”
“A date… isn’t that what Otaku dream about when they go shopping?”
“Shopping is shopping, right? Wait a minute, I’ll go get ready.”
“Ah! Wait …..haa….the worst ………”
The plastic model buyers are older, and there are only a few high school students like me.
The people who lined up in the morning are all old men.
Is it okay for such beautiful girl to be lined up in such a place?
No, there is no way.
I would look like a fool, and I would hate to be thought of as a “Riajuu ……” by the other people around me that I come to buy plastic models with my girlfriend….
However, it’s risky to turn her down and make her feel bad, and the damage will be minimal if I’m just being watched by an old man who’s not from the same family or acquaintances for about an hour.
Well, there was no way I could do anything about her who was already ready to go, though….
“Sorry, thanks for waiting, Aki kun”
“You’re quick…”
“If I’m too slow, you’ll be leaving me behind.”
Akemi came out a little out of breath, but she was dressed for the outside world.
She is not wearing remarkable clothes, and even her rather plain clothes look just right because the person wearing them is a beautiful class girl.
Even so, it seems that she is not lacking in asserting herself here and there, and her clothes are well balanced.
Perhaps she was trying to be considerate of me in her own way.
“What do you think? How am I dressed? Girls’ clothes always come with a witty commentary, don’t they?”
“When you wear it, even a modest outfit becomes unpleasantly glamorous.”
“Fufu, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“I’m being sarcastic.”
“Fufu, you’re being sarcastic~”
Akemi is laughing at how much fun she is having as she pulls out her own bicycle and rides alongside of me.
The headwind is blowing Akemi’s long black hair and making it flutter like a cape.
Really, She looks good no matter what she does, this woman…
“But plastic models? Why are you going so early just to go buy some plastic models? Shouldn’t you go after the store opens?”
“Then they’ll be sold out.”
“Otaku are tough… I’m more surprised that you’re the type of human being who can get up early.”
“If you want to buy what you want, you have to work hard.”
“Why don’t you use that effort for something else, like studying?”
“Shut up.”
We arrived at the electronics store with such light talk, but we couldn’t enter the store because it was still an hour before the store opened.
Instead, there was already a line of people with a very typical atmosphere, all of whom had fought many battles before.
“Wow…there’s really a line…”
“That’s right…”
“Yeah, grown-ups are just too desperate to buy toys.”
“We’re risking our lives to buy those toys! Don’t you dare!”
“Ooo, scary ……, but I can see how serious you are.”
And so I got in line to get in line, but there was a very unexpected person in line.
“Is that ……?”
“No way. …… really?”
Kisaragi Ginga is the student council president of our school, and Akemi is the vice student council president.
This is the person who has been scouted.
In addition to the scouting system, our high school elects the student council president through an election system, and he is the real deal, having defeated the previous student council president and won his current position through his own ability.
As a bonus, he has a strong body and a nice face, making him quite popular among the female students, and there are even rumors that he is dating Akemi, and there is a lot of admiration, envy, and jealousy among the male students. He is a man who has many different impressions.
Why would such a man be in a place like this?
Well, if you think about it safely, did he come here to buy some rare electronic equipment at a level where you have to stand in line to buy it?
“Nah! Kosaka-san? Why are you here?”
“That’s my question… why are you here?”
“That’s …… what I really… want… no, it’s nothing… ……”
“Are you here to buy plastic models?”
“Ha!? You have a taste for that kind of thing too?”
“I also seem to have hit the nail on the head… it’s surprising… to find out that you have such a hobby…”
“What…!? You also came to line up this early in the morning! It’s sad to see you have such a hatred for your own kind!”
“I don’t hate you at all, and I’m just a chaperone of my childhood friend…?”
“Ha…? childhood…?”
The good-looking student council president finally noticed my presence and slowly… or rather, he looked at me like a rusty door that has gone out of order.
“Y-you…”
“I’m Tadano, a childhood friend of Kosaka-san…”
“You’re the one who’s rumored …… fufu…quite…well…”
The student council president, upon first sight, sensed the difference between himself and me in terms of ability, and his demeanor grew larger and larger.
“You’re really looking down on…I don’t know why you’re taking a woman to a place like this without any preparation, even though she’s your childhood friend, but I don’t know why, but I guess you don’t have enough consideration for women.”
“With all due respect, chairman… he originally wanted to go alone, and I just followed him on my own.”
“Ha? You followed him on your own?”
“Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem?..”
“………that’s”
The student council president is slowly losing his will.
I feel like I understand the relationship between the student council president and Akemi now.
To think that such a high-spec human being liked her so much that she treated him like nothing… How high does he have his hopes…?
I’m starting to feel sorry for the student council president…
“Uh… um… what did the student council president want to buy?”
“Why do I have to tell you guys…”
“Ah…I-I see…I’m here to buy the Estelle High Mobility Sniper Custom.”
“What!? not the Super Rising Sun?”
“I want that one, too, but I’m most interested in the High Mobility Sniper! The way it fights, tossing the enemy around and shooting at them with high mobility, I feel romantic…”
“I…-I understand! High mobility snipers are the romance of men! The Estelle Custom, which combines the two, is truly a romantic piece of equipment! I didn’t expect to find someone here who understands that…”
“As for me, I’d like to make it a high-mobility armed sniper by attaching some armor to the armed Estelle I bought last month!”
“What! Isn’t that an extravagant arrangement? But that would diminish the strength of the high mobility, wouldn’t it?”
“The armored sniper has a lot of armor, but it’s not very maneuverable, is it? It wouldn’t burn me up to imagine that I’m riding an ace who’s fought many battles in the past!”
“I see! It burns!”
I unexpectedly met someone who understood.
The president of the student council, who seemed to be a hard-headed person, was a serious robot otaku.
After that, the president and I got into a lively conversation about robot otaku, and the hour-long wait passed in a blink of an eye.
During that time, we were so engrossed in the conversation with a fellow student council president that we had forgotten one important thing.
It was the beautiful girl with a Kansai dialect.
It was none other than Kosaka Akemi
Bros never disappoint
