Chapter 5 Shopping and Dancing
「～～♪ ～～～～♪ ～～～～～～～♪」
A nighttime walk on the sidewalk, lit by neon lights and crowded streets.
「I’m a girl who’s escaped from an alternate universe.」
「You have a backpack full of “fruits of war,” books and costumes, wrapped around your arm」
He was biting back a gulp of joy.
The time goes back an hour.
As a girl, I had two choices when I went to the Kawamura store and bought my underwear and clothes without incident.
One was to return home to my one-room apartment.
And the other was ——–.
「(Oh, heavens, no!）」
Akihabara Akiba, the magical city of Akihabara, is bustling in spite of the fact that it’s a weekday night…
I was standing in front of the station, with my arms and legs spread out in a wide-open font, shouting in a whisper.
It was an imitation of an imaginary person I respected.
If you’re a female nerd, you want to be one.
As a young girl, I looked up at the night sky in the east with this thought in mind.
A star shines brighter and brighter and says, “This is Minna, the fake one! I think I’ve been told.
Haha, girl, I don’t care about that! (ORZ)
There are many foreign tourists and unique people in the city.
The beautiful Scandinavian girl didn’t seem to mind my odd behavior.
I was in a stupor for 20 minutes at the start of the race.
I manage to get up and pay off my knees.
「…Well, let’s go!」
Yeah.
I hear you talk to yourself more when you’re single. (ORZ)
I loved Akihabara-komachi.
As a geek and a lover of two dimensions, for me, the town of Akihabara
Akihabara, the mecca of otaku culture, is a veritable treasure trove of
If I had the time, I would have visited here.
Well, um…, to be more precise.
I was here to scavenge for erotic doujinshi and anthology doujinshi.
I’m not the only one who does that, right?
No matter how much pain you’re going through.
Just being able to buy one interesting doujinshi was a great comfort to me.
I’m just a bad person, so what can I do?
So, this time, I had two objectives in Akihabara.
One of those was shopping at the doujin shop Murong Books.
The anthology of the social game I’m into right now is due out today.
I was thinking about buying that.
And also to pick up the pre-ordered items.
Well, what did I pre-order?
Yeah, uh, well…
It’s a doujinshi, you know.
What genre is…?
No.
It is.
You know what?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I’m going to tell you. I’m going to tell you, aren’t I?
…copyright rape doujinshi.
…even if I say so myself, I’m afraid I’m going to be taken aback…
Yeah, I like copyrighted rape manga.
Don’t you watch the pure love stuff?
Haha, no.
Well, it can’t be helped, can it?
…to a romance comic about a handsome guy and a lucky bastard who is far removed from himself.
How can you have feelings for me?
There’s not a shred of a chance of that happening!
I’m an iron horse, I’m a hopelessly incompetent scum.
I know I’m an idiot and I know that I have no connection to women at all.
I’m interested in sex.
I’m also interested in love.
But, you know, when I look at the romance stuff, it’s dismissive and makes me whisper my emotions.
I’m jealous, I’m lonely, I can’t do it… you know?
Rape stuff is different.
They’re just so unrealistic.
You can simply indulge in sexuality and devour the scattering of the fragile girl Emono.
No possibilities, no nothing, just simple enjoyment.
Still, there’s room for imagination.
I know it’s the height of vulgarity, but it’s the easiest way to enjoy it.
I don’t have a choice.
Don’t hold me to the standards of a man who can do it, asshole! (Führer)
And I know you’re making a lot of excuses.
In fact, I’m sure there’s a lot of that animalistic trash in her… hahaha.
Ha-ha-ha, this is…
…Maybe now, if I was raped, I wouldn’t complain about it.
I don’t have the slightest desire to be raped!
…No, no, no, no, no, what are you doing to a little girl?
Also, rape is a crime! Just don’t do it in the real world!
…No, so I wonder who I’m going to, Iron Horse.
While I was thinking about this, I arrived in front of Murong Books.
I sigh lightly.
A staircase can be seen at the back of the arcade.
At the end of the ramp, where there are many beautiful girl posters
I was a little hesitant to go with this figure (estimated to be 12 years old), but
Yeah, stay!
A girl, when I decided to do something, I…
We walked into the Muron Books Akihabara store in the basement.
「I’ll take that! Also, I had this on hold for you!」
The payment counter at Murong Books.
The girl casually handed it to me, along with the ship’s celeb anthology.
A copy of the email to receive the reserved items.
Whereas I, a beautiful silver-haired girl underage (presumably 12 years old), who is trying to receive an 18-banned doujinshi under the guise of nature.
The clerk who responded (male) rolled his eyes for a moment, looked at the mail and the girl-o-rama mutually, and… let out a sigh.
「You know, it’s not…」
I was about to tell him that he couldn’t give it to anyone under the age of 18.
Look at that ——–.
Girl, I think I was pretty upset, too.
I had been thinking a lot of strange thoughts before I got here.
I was in a bit of a panic.
I was just…
You know what?
Eye strain? I’ve put the…. (ORZ)
He said, “Please give it to me.
Then the clerk (male)’s eyeballs went round and round.
I was trying to be predictable. Haha, of course not!
Yeah, I was surprised.
The girl, I, the clerk who happened to be next to me, and some other customers behind me.
I was surprised.
The clerk (male) didn’t seem to pay any attention to such a reaction… or rather, he didn’t seem to have any intelligence left to care about it.
I turned around with my eyes unfocused and he brought me my appointment (in an envelope).
「Dozo! Ojosama!」
「And here, here, and here, and here, and that’s just polite?」
Hearing a word that you wouldn’t normally hear from a doujin shop clerk, the girl Ore returns with even more panic.
I took it and then bowed about three times.
Graduation ceremony?
Apparently.
Girl, I’ve been using the charm or brainwashing charm without realizing it.
It’s the kind of thing that often comes up in vampire biographies, the “magic eye”.
But I have no idea how he used it.
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to use it or not!
After receiving the goods, I left the room for a while and tried to remind myself which one, but it didn’t go away for a while.
What should I do?
After a minute or so, I got a huff and looked around.
I couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Yeah, let’s not think about it anymore.
The part of my head that thinks it might be useful or something, meh!
Or rather, I saw that she noticed me and was about to say something, so I ran away without thinking.
I, I, I, I, I, I’m sorry!
The girl I was visiting was at my second stop.
The name of the store is, uh…
Megazaru, the gothic lolita shop?
That’s a great name…I mean, I hadn’t heard of it before…
The reason I came here is…
Sometimes when I’m touring Akihabara’s Akiba, I’m reminded of how beautiful the clothes are.
Yes, this would be the place.
I thought that I could find some clothes that would fit me, as a girl.
When you open the door with a light sound, you’ll see that there are no show windows at the front.
You enter the restaurant, which is somewhat dimly lit.
「Welcome…」
A voice that is neither male nor female can be heard coming from the back of the store.
…It’s a great atmosphere.
I was a little scared, that’s a secret.
I’m 42 years old and I’ve got a penis… I’m not going to be scared of this kind of conventional atmosphere.
Pulling myself together, I picked up the black gothic loli costume I had on hand, rubbed the fabric with my fingers, and checked it.
…I knew it.
The costumes sold here aren’t just cheap, mass-produced goods from a cosplay shop.
It’s not made of polyester.
They’re made of high-quality silk and cotton, in abundance and quality.
My mom had a sewing business and she was very particular about that, so…I can understand.
It’s gorgeous, but the atmosphere of high-quality fabric doesn’t make it cheap.
This is… a real dress.
As I gazed at it with admiration, before I knew it, there was a person standing behind me.
Something that reminded me of a magician with a hood pulled over his eyes.
「Hee?!」
I couldn’t help but scream.
She doesn’t seem to mind my rudeness.
He (she?) brings out a sheer white outfit from behind the hood.
…Are you a waitress, perhaps?
「You’ll look good.」
It was…a camisole.
For a shop specializing in gothic lingerie, it was rustic and only apologetically ruffled, but
When I put it on, it looked great on me.
It showed off my silhouette and cleavage without losing its refinement and naturalness.
The flowing silk fabric layered gently against her skin, floating a soft sheen.
It was an instant decision.
I put it in my backpack with a hokey smile on my face, thinking this was a good purchase.
The clerk working the register (hood) looked up at me.
「…I’ll make you a membership card. May I ask your name?」
「Hmm? Uh, te…tima yagyu.」
I was about to say my name, and then I hurriedly changed my name to an alias.
It’s dangerous.
I was nearly accused of being a gay man.
Well… well, maybe it wasn’t too far off. (ORZ)
While I was carrying out such conflicts in my mind.
「（I see…too bad）」
The clerk whispered a small word that slipped from the right of my ear to the left of the girl’s ear, and
It did not remain under his consciousness at all.
And now, girl, I am.
I was walking around Akihabara Akiba, humming, with my war record in my hand.
Oh, now I feel great!
Favorite comics, favorite doujinshi, costumes to wear when the occasion calls for it!
Because everything I’d hoped for, I’d gotten it all without a hitch.
I couldn’t help but feel light on my feet and jump.
I was walking in front of an office building at night when it was not very popular.
Suddenly, he’s skipping around like a cheerful bouncer on a glass building.
I could see myself as a beautiful girl.
I couldn’t help but stare intently at her.
Hmm? Oh…..
I’m usually a Kawamuraya, but that’s never a bad thing, is it?
Maybe it’s because I like the pretty girl wearing it.
I don’t mean to say that I’m a girl myself, but she’s cute, dainty, and very intriguing.
I’ve felt like I’ve been looking in the mirror a lot since this morning.
Am I that much of a narcissist as a girl?
No, it’s not just the gender, it’s the appearance that’s changed, and it’s natural to watch it over and over again, right?
Okay?
Okay?
Put the luggage backpack down.
Out of intellectual curiosity, I’ll pose for a few in front of the building.
I’ll also try whispering.
I’ll lightly open my legs, hold my right hand up with my index finger in goo and my left hand in front of me, make a gun, stick it out in front of me, and boom!
「（smack dab in your heart.）」
He put his hands on his hips and cupped his hips and stretched his chest, and thrust forward with his palms spread.
「（Face forward! I’m going to take your heart, too.）」
He spins around, holds up his index finger to his cheek, and smiles forward.
「（Hmph, what, are you watching? Do you care about me that much? Phew!）」
Go on.
Straighten your arms and legs and try to bounce around.
Can I do a backflip? Oh, it worked.
Rollover was… oh, I got this one too.
It’s so light and it moves so well, my body.
Silver hair fluttering in the air, turn around!
Further steps.
Turn.
Diagonal backflips.
Finally, a slight twist of the body.
In the turn again.
Put your left hand on your hip.
I put a chalkboard on my forehead.
Stand up straight.
Pause!
Yeah, it’s cute…
「Wanderers!」「Oh…」
Huh?
I hear some cheers, sighs, and applause from behind me.
If you look closely.
Behind the girl I’m posing for, some men stop and look at me.
Snapping, snapping, and looking back at me like I’m a toy for a broken opportunity.
I feel the fire-spewing from my head.
「Oh, oh, thank you!」
He smiled his full, drawn-out smile as best he could, said thank you, and gave a Japanese bow.
When I lifted my luggage backpack, I blushed and ran away like a de-rabbit.
No, because, because, because!
A foreign tourist came up to me with a big smile on his face, saying something that looked like English!
She looks like a beautiful silver-haired Scandinavian girl, but she can only speak Japanese!
That’s because I’m a lover and a spice breaker.
Oh, well, whatever.
I can’t remember how long I ran.
Running through the streets at night——————.
A couple of times, I almost ran into a bunch of people, and I apologized and ran.
Anyway, as I was running to get away from my earlier gaze, I came to a deserted back street.
I ran further down the street to… well, where am I?
On one side are rows of closed-shuttered stores, and on the other, high-walled buildings, etc.
Oh well.
「（Ha, ha, ha, ha）」
My body isn’t that tired, but my breath is ragged, probably because it’s been so hard to feel.
I don’t want to get on my knees and slowly catch my breath.
My heart is still pounding in my chest.
「Oh my God, you scared me…
But what is it?
Was it… fun…?」
I can’t help but smile to myself.
I wonder if I, as a girl, am able to make people happy because of something like this?
If that’s the case– – I’m glad you did.
A life where I never needed anything more than my family.
Thinking back on it, I was…reveling in the possibilities.
I think I was just floating around.
Yeah, it’s called Netflix, so maybe I’ll give it a shot?
I think she’s pretty, so that would be awesome.
And if that’s the case – that would make me very, very happy.
I’ll post some awesome footage and make some money from affiliate marketing.
I don’t care if it’s a few thousand each month.
A vampire can survive on a somewhat lousy diet, right?
You can live modestly and modestly, while also breaking down your savings.
I think it’s good to try to develop your abilities little by little.
And Japan, no, I don’t care if it’s a neighborhood, or if the bad guys are in danger, you’re going to fight them off?
Wouldn’t it be nice to disguise yourself as a pretty girl hero?
Yeah, it’s giving me some perspective… or hope.
Nah, it’s just a kid’s dream, isn’t it?
I’m just a girl, and I’m too stupid to do anything about it.
But it’s still fun to imagine.
It’s just like… when you’re a kid.
…such a trifle too easy, I suppose.
I guess I just…
At that time, I was so happy to be recognized by people for the first time in a long time that I let my guard down.
I had completely forgotten about the possibility of the crisis that Akamoto Kioku had told me about.
A filthy vampire… That’s a pretty nasty one, isn’t it?
[[Oh dear, it’s supposed to be a little patrol, but it’s supposed to be a hit.]]
Just when I thought I heard a husky, somehow languid, non-Japanese voice, I heard
The little body of the girl, Ore, was bouncing around a lot.
