The Gloomy Me in Class is Actually the Vocalist of a Very Popular Band

Episode 22: On the way back to the bookstore

…………

The closest bookstore to home.

I stood still in front of the shutter's closed Lotus Bookstore.

And look at the stickers.

"We are closed today due to unfavourable circumstances"

Hmm, well, there's something like this....

I can't help it, let's not stop by the bookstore today.

I mean, I haven't heard the word "dazzling" again today.

Looking back on that thought, there was a girl with hair covering her face directly behind her.

"Wow!?

I suddenly jump out with a loud voice.

Ah, evil spirits are retreating! Mmm-mmm!

However, he sighed when he confirmed that the girl was not a ghost.

"What are you looking at... don't surprise me"

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's a mess, I'm walking silently."

"Which family of killers?

She apologized to me while showing her beautiful eyes from between her hair.

Lotus Sumi is my classmate and daughter of this Lotus Summer Bookstore.

You use the same pussy attributes as me.

I'm not good at talking to girls, but she's different.

You can relax and talk to each other and book lovers (mainly cartoons).

Mostly nerd talks.

If he hadn't rested in Badminton, I'd have paired up with Lotus and never had such a tragic incident... well, it wouldn't have changed that we were stupid together in the shadows.

"So? Why are you off today?

"Well, actually... your father's not feeling well..."

"Eh!? That dad!? What the hell is going on?

Lotus darkened his expression in response to my question.

--And when you chew your lips slightly, you mutter with a trembling voice.

"I'm hungover...."

"- You're just a drunk!

Because of Lotus Mimi's pretentious attitude, I put in a comic book for a reason that really doesn't matter.

Because I like this kind of difficult to understand bokeh, I get a very close feeling.

Lotus opened his mouth when he made me look satisfied with my reaction.

"Hey, Suda-kun went to speak to Miya-san this morning, right?

It's unusual for lotus sights to shake conversations other than the contents of cartoons.

Was what happened this morning so impressive?

"Oh, did you see that? I'm sorry, it's creepy."

"Yeah, I wanted to call you because no one noticed me in the morning. But I couldn't move because I was a community-impaired person... so I was relieved to see Suda calling out to you."

Lotus seemed to have been able to see the area without being caught up in the Theon fever this morning.

That's Botch.

So she's not interested in Theon.

Don't flatter yourself, it's me.

"Well, I was motivated by my desire to talk to Idol."

"Well, I guess I didn't have enough heart. I was going to have a lot of it... but I can't beat Suda."

"I'm so unhappy that I won....."

Looking at me depressed, Lotus smiled.

She always hides her face with her hair, just like me, but if she sees this smile, she'll fall in love with anyone.

Lotus herself reads books every day and doesn't seem interested in love.

"Again, I thought, Suda is a very caring person. I think that Suda's place is awesome!

Lotus turned his gaze diagonally upwards and dyed his cheeks red as if he was in a hurry.

"Lotus, you..."

"What do you think? Did you feel like you were going to say 'like' and deceiving me?

"What you're doing is really how you play with your pussy. I 'm--I think it's great."

Gahn!

Upon my suggestion, Lotus looked as if she had been shocked.

Unfortunately, I can't get caught in such a sticky means.

I was so upset inside.

"Well, that's not true... but if Suda says she likes you, why not?"

"Hey, I didn't say I liked you. I mean, if Lotus cut off that long forelock, I think they'll like me better than anyone else."

"Ahahah, those are the people who only see my surface. If you find out who I really am, you'll hate me anyway."

Lotus sighs with an enlightened expression.

That's why she doesn't make friends, she doesn't hide her face, and she doesn't try to connect with the world.

Nori is completely unique to Yin Caotaku.

The expression of sticky cartoons is also brought into everyday life.

I'm sure my face is good, so I gathered Yangca and cooled the air many times in that state.

It's the opposite of Linga.

I treat myself barefaced without wearing a mask, so I pull people away.

There is no doubt that you have some kind of wound in your heart, just like me.

--For example, right after I enrolled in high school.

I tried to make my surroundings laugh with jokes as hard to understand as Lotus.

The surroundings are quiet and the unwanted air flows.

Then, Yangca Kanemoto, who had a good personality, murmured.

"Ah, ahaha... Suda-kun... is something strange..."

That lovely laugh around me, which was so distracted, surprisingly reminds me of it in the middle of the night and makes me difficult to breathe.

I still think about it and feel like throwing up a little bit.

That's why Lotus Mi is also a musina with the same hole as me.

The cute Musina in front of me suddenly looked me in the eye.

"- But Suda is really special. I wouldn't pull my face off if I knew my nerd face."

"Well, that's a lotus sight, but it's hard to get past my creeps."

"Ahahah, say that again. But thanks to Suda, I'm saved. School life is boring, but I'm glad you came to the bookstore like this - thank you all the time."

That's why Lotus suddenly dropped his head and thanked me.

I go crazy about so many things.

--I met Lotus Mimi when I was looking for a book in this shop.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was watching the cartoon corner without knowing it was a classmate's Lotus Mi shop.

I suppose it was because of my lack of presence.

Unaware of what was being watched, a junior high school boy witnessed the moment he pulled the comic out of the shelf and put it in his bag.

I'll grab that hand when I try to put cartoons into it.

"--Terrible, fast theft, or I'll miss it."

I panicked in my heart about the sudden event and accidentally ran over the phrase in the cartoon.

"Ha, let go! I'll kill you!"

I panicked even more in my heart to a junior high school student who showed resistance.

But find a way to keep an eye on him without smiling.

Don't tell people to kill you, because you said that only people who are ready to be killed are allowed to say that.

As an older high school student, I lifted my hair to watch out, and I took off my glasses and confronted him.

"- Don't use too strong a word. Do you look weak?

"Hyi!?

I relied on the words of the cartoons again, but it seems that there was a mysterious wonder.

The junior high school student immediately apologized with a crying expression.

Maybe it was my first offense.

The store manager - that is, Lotus Mi's father scolded him at the back of the store, and the child reflected and went home.

I think my father smelled like alcohol...

Lotus came to thank me at school and got along when he saw my actions from the shadow of the bookshelf.

At all times, I was using the comic strip and they also found out that I was nerdy.

No, because in such a sudden situation, my words don't come out...

By the way, Lotus summoned me to the back of the school building with a letter in the desk to thank me. I didn't have to tell you that I had a disgusting delusion until after school.

◇ ◇ ◇

Suddenly he finished thanking me and raised his head and Lotus suddenly frowned.

"By the way, Suda. I have to carry the book that arrived today, but it looks heavy..."

"- Well, good luck waking your hangover uncle."

I had a bad feeling about that, so I turned my heel back.

But Lotus grabbed my shoulder with a full smile.

Didn't you know? You can't escape the Great Demon King. Besides, Suda-kun is a very caring person, right? You're Dolphin, right?

"Is this the purpose of suddenly starting to lure me away... Yeah, I got it! I was going to squander my time at the bookstore anyway. And DolOta has nothing to do with it."

I accepted Renmi's offer to avoid getting shot in the back by a Melazoma-class Mela.

I was going to help, but the way I did it was mean.

"Thank you! I'll open the shop for you, and I have some of my husband's favorite little books."

Lotus looks up at me with her elbows and laughs, "Hehe..."

Dammit, in the classroom, he said I was against a dark habit.

I did it over and over again because I didn't get hit.

"I'm sorry! I know you don't have anything like that in your shop!

I got good at it by putting my arms together.

I'm sure he'll be overwhelmed by his lies.

When I checked the lotus sight, her face became red.

"I was just checking..."

― Ah

I realize that I dug a grave at an incredible speed.

Certainly, I searched carefully once...

I didn't know it was a classmate's shop at first...

"Hi, I'll be in stock if I have to! Tell me!

"I'll help you, so please be absolutely silent."

I lowered my head deeply.

I didn't expect that even Lotus would create black history...

"Yeah, it's okay! I don't have any friends other than Suda! With Suda!

"That's a sad feeling of trust...."

That's how I start helping Lotus.

By the way, the box containing the incoming books was very light.

Don't you need my help?

"--Unlike those at school, aren't you very interested in Theon?

Carrying a light box, I heard that Lotus was worried about me.

I am confident that I will drop this box that I am carrying on my feet if they say, "Actually I hate it ~".

"No, that's not true. I was touched when you sang the animated OP of my favorite comic book," The Blade of the Crescent. "

"A-ah! Oh, shit! That was great!

I sweat cold.

It was a snake.

It was a slightly problematic case for Theon.

◇ ◇ ◇

One day, Lotus recommended a cartoon called "The Blade of the Crescent" to me.

Although it's a bit about choosing people, I was very sympathetic to my brother's feelings about his sister, and I became a fan.

When sending a fan letter of support to the author, the name "Theon" as an artist will be more pleased to go to the publisher via the office.

Later, a thank-you call came to the office from the author, Dr. Horiuchi himself, who seemed to be in a terrible state of confusion.

However, after listening to the story, it seems that it is not very popular, and it seems that the "cut-off" has been decided in about a month.

Dr. Horiuchi went on talking.

"Theon, I can't believe the big stars enjoyed it... I'm really glad we finally had the best memories! My daughters are also big fans of Theon."

That's what Dr. Horiuchi said to me with tears.

I convey my thanks and gratitude for my hard work in writing with a little confusion.

And I heard something that bothered me.

"--I 'm sorry to cut it off... are you ready for your next project?

"That's it...."

Dr. Horiuchi darkens his voice to my question.

And he told me everything about the family.

"Actually, my daughter had two elementary and high school students... and it's harder to keep up with her dreams. My daughter and wife support me in a healthy way, but when I think about my daughter's future, I'm thinking about leaving the cartoonist and getting a regular job to support my family...."

While listening to Dr. Horiuchi, I pulled out the "Crescent Blade" from the bookshelf in the room and turned the page again.

It's great to read many times.

The character, the story, is painted very carefully on one page at a time.

"... I see, that's really... unfortunate."

"No, I'm sorry I told you this. I couldn't make my dreams come true, but my daughter's dreams come true, so I'll do my best for my family in my second life!

Dr. Horiuchi was laughing on the phone so as to behave brightly.

I know I've been chasing dreams the same way.

No, a young man like me would have worked so hard to dream.

Otherwise, I can't draw such an interesting cartoon...

As a creator of the same thing, something hot came up in me...

"Professor Horiuchi... haven't you told your family the story that will cut you off yet?

"Ha, yes... actually, it's hard to say..."

And I ran irresponsibly over this.

"Sensei, don't give up yet! The protagonist turns backwards after being pinched. Show your family what a dream father looks like!

That's what I said. I hung up the next day.

I'll follow you.

I recommended the "Crescent Blade" on Theon's official twittar account.

The content is the same as the fan letter that I sent, "This is interesting" and "I like this place" are really unpleasant content.

It could be water on a burnt stone.

But I was hoping that more people would know just a little bit.

--As a result, it became online news.

The "Crescent Blade" monograph disappeared from bookstores across the country, gaining the top position in the weekly magazine series.

Naturally, there was no talk of cut-off, and now animation was decided.

Even in the sense of taking responsibility, the popularity accelerates even further when I receive a request to sing an animation OP.

I'm about to become one of the national cartoons...

◇ ◇ ◇

As for the "Crescent Moon Blade" becoming very popular, I am convinced that it is Dr. Horiuchi's strength.

However, in some cases, it has been described as a "cartoon made with the visibility of Theon".

It was my fault that the work was not properly valued.

Lotus smiled nicely in front of me.

"There were rumors that the work had been cut off, but it became very popular. Thanks to the fan letter I sent you! I even advertised it on social media! I'm so glad my favorite pieces are gone!

"Ah... ahh, I'm sure it is! Of course it is! Yeah!"

I nodded many times.

Dr. Horiuchi has thanked me many times for this matter, but I can't wipe out the feeling that I've made an extra move.

I'm sure it was popular with lovely readers who supported me even if I didn't have to help.

With that in mind, when I finished carrying all the boxes, Lotus found something.

"Oh, yeah? There's something in the mailbox... what is it?

That's what Lotus said and took out the parcel.

I saw the sender written on the parcel and found out what was in it.

When I saw you the other day, I asked you to be completely personal.

"Sensei, I have an enthusiastic fan near me"...

(Dr. Horiuchi... thank you for listening to my selfishness even though you're busy.)

After Lotus checked the sender's name, he shouted.
