When I Saved a Lost Plushie, I Got Close to a Young Lady From a Yakuza Family
The midterm test went off without a hitch.
As usual, my score was a little above average, and I met the standard set by my mother.
I can send money back to my family as usual.
“And it’s all thanks to you, Ten-chan.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“I got over my cold quickly, and thanks to you lending me your notebook, my grades and livelihood were saved.”
If it weren’t for her devoted nursing care, I would have been late for class because of my lingering cold, and because of the notebook, I could somehow make up for the two days I missed.
I had arranged to go out today the same day I was feeling better.
Today was a school vacation and we were going out.
Walking next to me, Uruwashi-san was attracting the eyes of both men and women alike.
Her cool yet powerful eyes, her high, upturned nose, and her red lips that seem to bloom on her translucent white skin. The shape of her face is like a work of God’s art.
Uruwashi san has a tall, well-defined style that is as strong as her face, showing where she stands out and pulling back where she pulls back.
She is dressed in a black mesh knit top and leather miniskirt.
It is the same cool and cool look as the previous private outfit, which evokes the strength of a woman.
She looks like something out of a magazine or comic book.
I was dressed in a casual outfit and looked like a chaperone to the others.
I might not even be in other people’s eyes anymore.
“Where are we headed now?”
“We’ll be there soon.”
We walk through the entertainment district to an unpopular building.
We enter a room on the second floor of the building.
“Wow, …..so cute.”
There were various items on display there, decorated with cute colors and pops of color.
Seeing her reaction, I said proudly
“Right?”
This is a popular game store.
There are no character goods such as tin badges or acrylic stands, but rather the cases for the tin badges and the bases for the acrylic stands are all items intended to display the items.
“I’d been interested in this type of shop but this is my first time here. I’m happy I could come.”
“Well, I’ve only been here a few times myself.”
It is hard for a man to be alone in this place. The customers range in age from middle and high school students to adults, but the gender is almost exclusively female.
I’m sure the people around me are so engrossed in their own guesswork that they don’t look at others, but it’s in my nature to be aware of my surroundings, so I can’t help it.
I walk up to where the item I’m looking for is located.
“I’ve come here today to present Ten-chan with an outing pouch!”
And I continue.
“Ten-chan dropped her Banira-chan the other day. I think it was because she had attached it to the drawstring with the ball chain that came with it.
The ball chain is loose after long use and can easily come off after a shock or other impact, making it easy to lose it. But with this one …….”
I put my own “Kune” into the sample pouch.
This pouch is more than just a pouch to put your stuffed animals in. It has a shoulder strap.
“You can hang it on your body like this!”
“Eh, you mean I can go out with my plushie with just this one thing?”
“That’s right! It’s wrapped in a pouch, so it’s protected from the wind and rain and doesn’t get dirty. Plus, if you go outside, it gets dirty without you seeing it because of dust and other things. Also, if you remove the shoulder strap, you can attach it to your bag with this hook. It’s safer than a ball chain, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is! That’s great!”
Uruwashi-san listens to my explanation with a twinkle in her eye without feeling uncomfortable.
It’s worth talking about, and more importantly, it’s fun.
“Today, as a thank you for taking care of me and for the notebook, I wanted to help you choose a pouch that fits Banira-chan and that you’ll like.”
“Thank you, Sagara-kun.”
Then Uruwashi-san took Banira-chan out of her bag and glared at the pouch.
The way she stared intently was as sharp as a hitman’s eyes that would put her life at risk if she wasn’t in this store.
It was clear that she was serious about her choice.
“This color is nice, and oh, this one is nice too. This sparkly design is cute, and the trunk-like design is retro and looks good on Banira chan.”
There are so many colors and designs to choose from. I enjoy the time I spend agonizing over them.
“Sagara-kun, which one do you like?”
“Hmmm…” I pondered, and then pointed to a pouch.
“I think this light blue gingham check design is good. I think it matches Banira-chan’s fluffy and cute feel with the light blue ribbon.”
I can’t choose these things based on my senses.
Therefore, I only explain the reason why I chose it, but I think it was not so boring.
“Well, I’ll go with that one.”
“Eh, you’re okay with the one I chose?”
“Yes, that’s good. It was very well verbalized, easy to understand, and made sense to me. Besides, it was the candidate pouch I was also wondering about.”
Uruwashi san happily picked up the pouch from the shelf.
Then she looked around at the other items in the store.
“I see they sell clothes, ponchos, hats, and all sorts of other things.”
“Recently, the demand for stuffed toys has increased among people who love their favorite idols, and there are more and more products for that purpose. They are also available in different sizes to fit the size of the stuffed toys.”
“I see. It looks like Sagara-kun’s house.”
“No, this is more of a product than my handmade costumes, so I can’t make it the same.”
There is a difference between self-taught work and a product planned and created by a professional.
I’m not that smug.
“I wonder? The kimono you made for me last time was so beautiful it looked like it was for sale. I think there are people who would like to sell it.”
“It was thanks to the fabric Tenchan gave me.”
Even though it was a plushie kimono, it was made of real silk kimono fabric, so it had a great sense of weight and authenticity.
“Kune-chan’s kimono was made of a commercial fabric, but it was very good.”
“It’s not even close. …… I’m glad you said that.”
“It’s really great. ……”
Uruwashi-san continues to compliment the stuffed animal outfits I make.
The things I make just look good.
Then I pay the bill and present the pouch to Uruwashi-san.
“Thank you, Sagara-kun. I will take good care of it.”
Uruwashi-san was about to put the pouch into her bag, so I stopped her hand.
“Ten-chan, I’m glad you treasure it, but I’d be even happier if you used it. If you’re embarrassed about it, Ten-chan…”
When I bought the pouch for Uruwashi san, I put Kune in my own pouch, which I had bought along with it, and hung it diagonally.
“I’ll hang it with you too!”
I’m embarrassed, but I have no choice but to take off my skin here.
“Eeeh! You’re too cute…..!”
Uruwashi san put Banira-chan in her pouch and slung it diagonally over her head.
“It’s just as cute as I thought it would be.”
The pouch with Banira-chan in it is protected by a transparent vinyl and looks very much like it is on display.
I was happy just to see her happy face.
“Look look!”
Uruwashi-san got excited and approached me to show me.
Banira chan is, of course, cute, but more than anything, the shoulder straps run through Uruwashi san’s cleavage, really emphasizing her silhouette.
“…. very nice.”
“I know, right!? Thanks, Sagara-kun.”
The cool beauty’s innocent smile had great destructive power.
“Hey, hey, isn’t that awesome?”
“Wow, it’s huge. It’s huge!”
The two men’s vulgar voices could be heard.
The men’s eyes were glued to Uruwashi san’s large bulge.
“Let’s go, Tenchan”
I grabbed her hand and quickly walked away.
“E-eh! What’s wrong, Sagara kun?”
I took the confused Uruwashi san to a back alley where there was no one around.
Once we were alone, I let go of her hand.
“Is this okay?”
“Yes, …… fine.”
For some reason, Uruwashi-san closed her eyes and stuck her face out at me.
I told her that.
“Tenchan, you are not allowed to wear your pouch diagonally.”
“Hee?”
Uruwashi-san opened her eyes and seemed to be taken aback.
I was wondering what she would say, but this is what she came up with. It can’t be helped.
“This may sound weird, but when you hang up your pouch like that, it emphasizes Ten-chan’s… well, that… and other people can see it a lot”
I was a little sloppy with my words, but somehow I managed to convey the message.
Then Uruwashi looked at her chest and gave a small “Oh,” and seemed to realize what was going on.
“So I want you to put it over your shoulder.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Uruwashi-san put the pouch on one shoulder from the diagonal.
Now you’re safe.
“I’m sorry …… for forcibly bringing you here without telling you why, just for that reason. I was worried about other people seeing you.”
“Sagara-kun didn’t like me being seen by others?”
“…… yeah.”
No. I realized that this was the emotion I was feeling.
I was giving her the same look, but for some reason I felt an unbearable sense of disgust knowing that other people were looking at her like that.
“I see, I see.”
Even though Uruwashi-san knew about this sickening feeling I was having, for some reason she seemed happy and smiled, saying, “Fufu”
Then we both looked around the city.
We ate takoyaki as big as a clenched fist, took pictures with plushies, and went to an anime store where there were other work goods.
Just walking around makes me feel like I’m out with Uruwashi-san, Plushies, and everyone else, and it lifts my spirits.
As we were walking around town, Uruwashi-san suddenly stopped.
I followed her gaze.
“Their favorite color coordination is so cute”
There were two girls in high school.
One was wearing a light purple color, and the other was wearing a uniform orange color with many frills and cute coordinates.
The “color coordination” is to wear clothes in the same color as the color of the assigned color.
Even the bag of her plushie was of the same color as the color of the nominee.
“I think it would be cute if you wore it too, don’t you?”
“C-Cute?”
Uruwashi san is somehow doubting my comment, as if she had heard something impossible.
“Ten-chan has a face like a doll, so I think it’s good that she’s cute and pretentious.”
“Like a doll?!”
Uruwashi san ruminates loudly on my statement.
Huh, have I been saying something wrong this whole time?
If you look at ten people, ten of them will say that Uruwashi-san is well-behaved.
Glancing at the high school student wearing the color scheme, Uruwashi san looked at her.
Then, after a moment of silent contemplation, she said
“Something that cute doesn’t suit me.”
Uruwashi looks away and walks ahead.
She is tall and has a beautiful face, so she often wears cool clothes, and she suits her well.
But I’m sure cute ones suit her too……
