Episode 22 – Get Deeper in Debt

“Ooh, Ohhhh!”

I was impressed. When I saw what I had taken out of the envelope.

Radio appearance fee for work at 00 Broadcasting, including radio preparation. 20,000 yen combined.

I was reluctant to accept a radio appearance fee, but the president stubbornly tried to give it to me with the unintelligible theory, “Well, today was a 5,000 yen/hour day,” so I decided to accept it gratefully.
I really appreciate the story.

I had never had a part-time job before, and since I depended on my parents to send me money, I had no experience in earning money on my own. Of course, I was not paid for the songs I wrote.

That’s how I earned my first money by myself. Two paychecks.

“What shall I spend it on? Or save it?”

Come on, college students must be withering away with their savings. Something important is going on here.

“Then what? I’ll be generous and go out drinking with my friends or …… didn’t have any friends like that.”

Well, then, think about how the average college student spends his money.

Manga, games. Well, that’s great. I think it’s a bit of a waste of time, though.

Travel. Rejected for the same reason as drinking.

I should just wake up to fashion for the sake of being innocent. No, for what? Why do I have to be a scruffy guy?

“Well, maybe I’ll save up a little more and buy a guitar or something.”

After all, I can’t be like a college student. The conclusion I chose was [saving money]

That day, as I was immersed in songwriting, the house intercom rang.

–-Haaa

Would it be Mirei or Kotoha again? What, or Harushita san?

But when I opened the door, there was a man there. Or rather.

“Hello, this is 00 Electric!”

It was a stranger, dressed in work clothes. Huh? 00 Electric?

“Excuse me, can I help you?”
“We have delivered the TV you ordered!”
“……pardon?”

Wait a minute, I didn’t order a TV.

“Sorry, I think you have the wrong room.”
“Et-to, I’d like to confirm the order, please! The purchaser is …… Harushita san? Harushita Suzune san!”
“Aah, I’m sorry, that’s mine, I forgot I asked for it, I’ll stamp it and take care of the rest.”

No, no, no, we are not even that close yet, so I don’t think it’s right to call this, though.

—Harushita youuuuuuu!!!!

Is this your doing, Harushita san?! No I can’t even decide what to call her!?

“I just remembered that Suzu-sama by the same name recently made a comeback to show business. I’m a huge fan.”
“No~ it’s a coincidence! My girlfriend has the same name~.”

Oh no, I completely started reading in a barbed voice in the middle. Why do I have to be in such a hurry?

I looked into the face of the contractor who was bringing a heavy-looking TV by himself.

“Oh, I see! There are so many coincidences in this world! Actually, my current girlfriend is my ex-girlfriend’s mother.” (TL/N : now what genre this belongs to….)
“H-Hee~~~?”

Too close, He Almost knows. He is definitely a type B person.

Wait, I think I heard some great statements, but oh well.

“Is this the right place~?”
“Ah, it’s fine. The TV stand hasn’t even arrived yet, so if you could just put it somewhere appropriate.”

I talk as if I had ordered a TV stand. Good grief, it’s a sad thing to become a good liar.

“Is the extra outlet here okay?”
“Yes, then please”

Beside the contractor fiddling with the wiring, I saw a notification on my phone.

I had a hunch somehow, so I went to check it out.

[Have you received the TV by now?]

I almost swung my cell phone full force and blew it out of the sky with a line that sounded like it was about someone else’s business. That’s close

Chill out and reply.

“If you sent me a TV set, you’re trying to pick a fight with me, and that’s what you’re trying to do, so I understand.”

Hmm, I guess I wasn’t cool at all, 5 seconds ago.

[You said, You don’t even have a TV, so I’ll do it. I’ve received quite a bit of money in the past month or so, so I will distribute it.]

It seems that she got a taste of my previous cell phone. It’s like she doesn’t care as long as she doesn’t have to hand over the money.

I’m going to pay my bills properly, though, and my debt will only go up and up and up.

–Heyy, you’re ignoring my story!

[Please watch our show on this TV.]

I could have guessed who “we” were, but I dared not and replied.

[We’ll have a good talk next time.]

At least I’ve decided how I’m going to spend the money I was going to save.

–I have to buy a TV stand.
