Omae o Otaku ni Shiteyaru kara, Ore o Riajuu ni Shitekure!:Volume 11 Chapter 5

Chapter 5

"Kashiwada! Did you bring a game like PS Peter or 3DS today?"

The day after the cherry blossom viewing, Sakura approached me in a friendly manner inside the clubroom.

I saw her talking to the seniors. I didn’t think she would approach me when I entered so I was surprised that she suddenly talked to me. Suddenly, I remembered what Hasegawa told me about Sakura being interested in me.

"Oh no, I didn't bring any today."

"Whaa… we promised we'll play a game together!"

P..promise...? I told you that, but I thought that wasn’t serious.

"Then, bring one next time!"

"Oh, ok ..."

"Ah, yes! I mean, I forgot last time, but tell me your LINE address."

"eh……?"

"I haven't been told Kashiwada yet!"

"Ah ... uh, yeah ..."

I couldn't help refusing, so I took out my phone and exchanged line numbers with Sakura. It’s ok since we were club mates... If Hasegawa was here, she might have been warned me again, but she was here today. Law students study harder than my lit students, and she also has her comedy circle.

She is probably busy.

Since then, Sakura has been actively talking to me. Maybe she’s trying to make me a member of a reverse Harlem crew, but as I told Hasegawa, I'm not at all fascinated by her. On the contrary, we were still not close to each other as she rarely called me in the club. While she was talking to me, she was also talking to other circle members and becoming the idol of my circle.

Originally the clubs girls were Nikaido and Hasegawa besides her. However, Nikaido almost never came to the circle and Hasegawa did not come much and also there seems to be a wall between her and the other members. It was inevitable that Sakura, who was cute and amiable, would be the idol of the circle.

Speaking of university life other than circles, I wanted to earn credits in the year, and took the courses required, but it was easier here than in high school. The circles are loose and I have time to spare, so after I get used to college life a little more, I think I'll start working in a part-time job. The money I save, I will use to go to Hokkaido.

I spent my days thinking about such things, and then came the second half of April. In fact, I wish I could spend the GW with Koigasaki, but as expected, I'm just managing my pocket money, and I don't have any money to go to Hokkaido. Just when I was thinking this, I was surprised to read the line from Koigasaki.

"GW, I'm thinking of going out there!" Koigasaki will be in Tokyo …… !? There was no happier news for me. The amount of time that I couldn't be alone with her during my trip in March ... I'll make sure to have time alone with her this time!

The third Saturday of April.

Today, I promised to have a meal with my otaku friends, Azuki-chan, and Murasaki-san in Ikebukuro. I met Azuki-chan for the first time since the graduation trip, and I met Murasaki last December when I had tea with her. The meeting time was six o'clock. When I arrived at the meeting place, Ikebukuro Station East Exit Ike Owl, they had already arrived.

"Oh, Kashiwada!"

"Kashiwada, it's been a long time ♪"

It seems that there are many people who dye their hair after entering university but Azuki-chan’s hair seems to be almost the same. Murasaki was still beautiful as ever. We entered the restaurant at Naka Station and asked for the menu.

"Murasaki, it's been a long time!"

"Yes, really ..."

Although I haven't met Murasaki for a while, although she sometimes got in touch with me via email or Skype, and sometimes I got information about her from Koigasaki and Azuki-chan, so we know each other's current situation. After I passed my university exam, she even sent me a congratulatory email.

“How is the manga business?!

Murasaki debuted as a professional manga artist last year. Originally she was extremely popular as a coterie writer, and I although had never seen proof, it seemed that she was earning a lot so I thought that she would continue to be a doujin writer in the future. I was surprised to hear she became a commercial manga artist. Although it seems that she will continue her coterie activities. The first series started in the monthly comic magazine “Pretty Dragon” around the fall of last year, and is still continuing. When the first installment of the series was published in a magazine for a romantic comedy series, I purchased it and read it. I thought the pictures were cute and beautiful and the story was very interesting as well.

"Yeah, so far, I've managed to continue the serialization ... I'm going to release a comic volume next month."

"Oh! You finally made a comic!"

"Congratulations! I will definitely buy one!"

"Huh ... thank you ♪"

Murasaki-san, it's really amazing to see her dreams come true.

"How are you guys living in college? Have you gotten used to it?"

"Oh, yes! I have something to tell Murasaki today ... When I entered an otaku circle at the university, I met Nikaido-san!"

"Eh ... eh !?"

Murasaki-san has round eyes after hearing me. Azuki seem to be surprised as well.

"Huh ... Speaking of which ... I forgot to tell you that Anna was also attending the same H university as Kashiwada. I didn't know you would meet her there ..."

"Well, they were recruiting so I joined but she hardly attends the circle ..."

"It's a coincidence! Kashiwada also joined an otaku club at the university?"

"Eh ... that means ..."

"Yeah, I joined one too! Animation club!"

Azuki-chan is also in an otaku club at her university? We think the same.

"Otaku Circle ... It sounds fun. I didn't belong to any the college circle, but now I wish I had done. How is your circle?"

"It's really fun! Most of our members are girls.

You can easily meet other rotten friends or cosplay friends! There are also children who are doing coterie! " Azuki seems to be enjoying am otaku college life.

"How about Kashiwada's club?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm really happy ... we are three newcomers. One of them is Hasegawa."

"Well, Midori-chan has also joined an otaku club!? Good! Looks like she is having fun too!"

"Yeah…"

Yes, circles should be very fun. When talking or playing games with Iwamoto and other members It's fun, even though Hasegawa rarely comes. But fun! The reason why I can't answer immediately is ... I feel like I'm just talking with Sakura in the circle recently. I don't hate Sakura at all but ... in a nutshell, I don't know how to deal with her. Anyway, my guess is that she's just aiming to have a reverse harem...

"Ah, yes! Speaking of which, Momo-chan wants to come here for the GW! I'm really looking forward to seeing her again! Azuki talks about Koigasaki. I told Azuki about Koigasaki’s plan.

"Oh, is that so!? I'm glad! I haven't seen her for more than a year, so I'm really looking forward to it. Momo seems to be working hard on writing novels as usual."

On the first day of the GW, all of us are free so we all decided to meet on that day. After hearing that Koigasaki will be in Tokyo, I decided to go to Koigasaki there.

After that, we will continue to talk about our latest status and otaku stuff, and soon it was time to go home

While waiting for Golden Week, I properly attended my classes, went to my circle and thought about what kind of part-time job to do while looking at job information.

Sakura has always been active in the circle. Originally, we talked about anime and games, so if you concentrate on seeing her as an otaku friend without worrying about her gender, you would be able to talk to her easily ... I thought that but I still wasn't able to dispel my shyness to her.

And the first day of the GW finally arrived.

After I picked up Koigasaki at the airport, we went to Akihabara and there we met Azuki and Murasaki.

"Yoohoo ..."

"It's been a long time. It's been two months."

At the Haneda Airport lobby, we met quite easily. Due to the others present, I couldn't greet her with, “I missed you!”, so I kept quiet. I'm seeing Koigasaki for the first time in two months ... She looks more refined than last time. I wonder if it’s because she became a college student. She wore a spring dress that was a bit more mature than in high school.

"Well then, let’s head to Akiba?"

"Oh yeah ..."

As we walked, I carried the luggage case that Koigasaki was pulling. It was hard to pull a large carry case with her small body.

“……! Koigasaki says in a confused state.

"Ah, no, I have another one."

When I returned, Koigasaki looked at me a little shy and said, "Oh, thank you ..." Then, we walk while talking about each other's university and our common friends. We talk on the phone all the time, but we don’t run out of topics to discuss.

"Oh, that's ..."

Suddenly, Koigasaki started walking next to me in a slightly nervous state.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, uh ... uh ... hand ..."

"e?"

She wants to say something but the sound of rolling carry case is too loud and the voice of Koigasaki is too soft to hear. Looks like she is shy for some reason.

"~~ !! It's good! Nothing!"

"Eh ... what was it ... I didn't hear it! Koigasaki turned her face away from me and was acting somewhat relentless. No matter how many times I asked, Koigasaki didn't repeat what she said before. What was it? I guess I sometimes don't understand what she is thinking ...

After a while, we arrived at Akihabara after changing trains.

"Momo-chan, it's been a long time!"

"Momo-san, it's been a long time! I wanted to see you after all this time ..."

"Azuki-chan, Murasaki-san!"

At the station in Akihabara, the three embraced each other. It was such a simple reunion ... It's been a long time since she’s been with Murasaki and Azuki, so I'm sure she'll be alright with going with them for the first time in two months ...

It was Koigasaki's wish that the place where we met today was Akihabara.

"I haven’t been to Akiba for a long time! Oh, I'm so nostalgic! I didn't come to Akiba when I came to Tokyo before."

`` Momo-chan, where do you want to go to in Akiba !?

"Maybe you want to go to the otaku shop you've been to before!"

As Koigasaki says so, we lightly look at otaku shops such as Gamers, Toranoana, Animate. On the top floor of a large variety shop, was maid cafe for where Koigasaki and Azuki worked for, ‘My Home’" They even went inside some of the stores (I didn't enter the store because it seemed awkward).

After going around the city of Akiba, we entered a family restaurant to have tea.

"Momo-san, how is your novel coming along?"

Murasaki asked Koigasaki. Speaking of which, when Koigasaki first started writing novels, it was because Murasaki advised her.

"Ah, yes! I have almost finished my full-length novel, I will submit it soon."

"All right. You're still working hard!"

"It's not as much as Murasaki! I'm checking the magazines every time there! I'm a little bit slower than her, but ..."

"Oh, is that true? I'm happy ♪ Thank you. Momo-san may be hard at work with university, but please do your best without overdoing it."

"No, college is easier at the moment so I have plenty of time. I wonder if I can join a circle ...

"Momo-chan, didn't you enter the circle?"

"Hmm, I feel like I'm still worried about it. I'd like to enter something. Azuki-chan?"

"I'm an anime club. It's really fun to have a lot of girl nerd friends!"

"Hey!

"Oh, this time, we had a welcome party in the circle!"

We were shown a photo of Azuki taken at their welcome party on her smartphone. A place that looks like a clubroom with sweets arranged, and everyone is having fun. Some people are cosplaying. There were two men, but all were girls.

"Wow, it looks like super fun!

"That’s great! Azuki-san you guys are so full of life? ♪ Didn’t Kashiwada also have a welcome party in his otaku circle?"

"Oh, yeah ..."

"Can we see some photos!?"

Pictures ... Oh, by the way, the images I have during the cherry blossom viewing were sent by email from Iwamoto.

"This is it ..."

I show everyone the photos of the cherry blossom viewing.

"... Oh, there’s a girl!"

At the moment I showed it, I was surprised because Koigasaki made a loud voice.

"e……?"

“Didn't you say that Hasegawa and Nikaido are the only girls in the circle !?

"Eh, is that so?"

Who is Koigasaki imitating right now, Yakimochi? She is really cute ... But the photos I shown may not have been good. Sakura was right next to me. The distance is too short to burn ...

"Hey, she’s pretty cute. What kind of child is she?"

"What kind of child ..."

I think a little about Azuki's question.

"Hey, it looks like you guys in the circle get along pretty well ..."

"e……"

"That's it ..."

I felt like everyone heard the sound effect "Zawa ..." from my words.

"It's the Otasa Princess!"

The voices of Koigasaki and Azuki were wonderful. Otasa princess ... Oh, oh, sure, Sakura may be like that! I didn't notice until they told me ...

"Wow, so that's not an urban legend but it's real !? Awesome!" Azuki says, staring at the image.

"If you say that, it might look like that .... Her clothing and sitting near Kashiwada ..."

"Sure, they are quite close, but they aren’t ... touching, are they?" Murasaki looked me with a difficult expression. When I noticed, Koigasaki is also looking at me with a dissatisfied expression.

`` Eh, eh !?

"That's the problem, Kashiwada can adapt to wherever he goes ..."

"What are you talking about?! That's not it at all!"

"Well, hmm ... well, she is quite cute, won’t Kashiwada be attracted?" Koigasaki said with a laugh. Oh, hey ... don’t be jealous.

Don't ask me to hate her.

"Momo-chan ..."

For some reason, Azuki looked at Koigasaki with a worried face.

"But Kashiwada, you have Momo, right?"

"Huh? I have a girlfriend now.

"That's right! Kashiwada has Momo! There's no chance that Otasa's princess is cutting in!"

I feel strange pressure from Murasaki and Azuki who said that. These two are laughing, but their smiles are strangely scary. I guess I can hear the voice of my heart saying, "Momo-chan has nothing to worry about the princess of Otasa, right?"

"Hahahaha ... what are they all saying ...? Of course, I don't get along with her at all.

"Eh ... that's right ...?" Koigasaki asks seriously.

"Ah, ah ... this kind of problem child, I can’t deal with her."

"... Hmm ..."

On hearing my words, Koigasaki looked like she wasn’t sure to be convinced or not.

Then, after everyone talked about various things

"Hey Hey! I've haven’t been with Momo-chan in Tokyo for a while, so let's take a picture!"

"Oh, Azuki-chan, that’s nice! Let’s take pictures with Murasaki!"

"Eh!? Is it okay to take pictures of Purikura with young and shy people?"

"Hey Murasaki, what are you talking about?"

"I'm seldom in Akiba so let’s have a photo shoot with all three people!"

"OK!"

It seems that the girls decided to shoot Purikura. We moved to a large game center along Chuo-dori in Akihabara to take a picture of Purikura.

"Oh, there's Eva's uniform! It even comes with wigs, and the rest of the costume looks great..."

"Oh, there are Satomi-san's costumes too, it looks like it will fit me easily!

"Murasaki-san, she looks like she's almost our age, so I don't have to worry about that!" When we arrived at the Purikura section on the first basement floor of Geesen, the girls are excitedly talking about the costumes they will wear.

I accompanied them here but the other guests were of course girls, and there were almost no men so I was ashamed. I was playing with my mobile phone while waiting. Ah, girls finally are finished...

Soon after the change of clothes, the three came out of the changing room. Azuki-chan and Koigasaki were wearing the Eva costume while Murasaki was wearing Satomi's costume. All three look really good. All of them were even wearing wigs.

Perfect.

The three people entered the purikura machine, and it seems that the photo shoot finally begun. After a while, all three came out of the machine. After this, the photo will come out. It took a long time for the photo to be released. The three ladies came to me.

"Kashiwada, we'll take another shot"

"Eh !? Ma, really? ..."

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Kashiwada ..."

"No, no ... then I will wait right here."

I can't say anything if Murasaki apologizes. Eventually, the three again choose their costumes and head to the changing room. After finishing changing clothes, they came out of the changing room and were wearing matching maid clothes. It is a cute maid outfit with a ruffled mini skirt in different colors, red, light blue and pink. All three have different charms even though their costumes are the same

"I went to Akiba for this!"

"How nostalgic! I've been wanting to wearing maid clothes since I worked at that maid cafe!" Koigasaki in a maid outfit … Sure, it’s been a long time since I saw her in a maid café. These guys look already good with trendy, cutting-edge Imadoki plain clothes that they always wear, but in these cosplay costumes, they also look great ... they're so cute.

"Kashiwada, next time you'll join us in the photo shoot too."

"... Eh!?! Oh, me too!?? Why!?"

Koigasaki looks at me who was gazing at Koigasaki's maid outfit I pulled was pulled inside the Purikura machine.

"Can all of us fit in here?"

“How do you shoot?

Azuki-chan and Koigasaki seem to be accustomed to using the purikura, and they are talking about something while looking at the screen.

"Even without wearing a costume, Kashiwada still doesn’t look out of place with us ..."

"You guys don’t have to critic my clothes!"

"Huh? I didn't mean that, but why did you think so, Kashiwada?"

What bad people ... " Murasaki-san is still the same ... I feel like I'm losing when I joined!

Three maids and I inside a narrow photo booth machine. Cho, what is this situation ...? The physical distance between us was so close that I was nervous. The photo shoot begins and many pictures are taken. Each time, Azuki and Koigasaki specified poses for everyone, and everyone did so, and the shooting was over in a hurry.

After shooting, I left the photo to Koigasaki and Azuki and decided to wait a little further away.

"Ah, Murasaki. The two are scribbling."

Murasaki who changed from her cosplay costume to plain clothes has returned from the changing room.

"I see. Sometimes this kind of play is fun. I rarely shoot Purikura."

"Is that so? Well, I don't even shoot at all ..."

"By the way, Kashiwada ... Momo will stay at your parents' house this time, right?"

"Eh !? eh, yeah ... "

Murasaki excitedly told me.

Yeah ... This time Koigasaki is supposed to stay at my house for three nights from today.

"I see ... finally, Kashiwada and Momo ..."

Murasaki says that with a distant look in her eyes.

"Cho ...!? No, no ... my family is also staying there so we can’t do anything!"

"Oh, is that the case? I've heard from my friends that if you play music in your room, you won't be disturbed ..."

What's this guy talking about !?

"No no no……"

"Kashiwada will be an adult at last ... I'm deeply emotional ... Please do your best tonight!"

"My best! What are you saying to do?"

“……!”

Just then, Koigasaki came down and called us out, so I was surprised that I lost my composure.

"No, no! No that’s not it!"

"What? ... what were you talking about?"

"Nothing at all!"

"Huh? What are you hiding from me?!"

Koigasaki asks me in a frustrated state, but I can't say anything like that to Koigasaki. After the photo came out, we went home.

When we arrive at the station in Akihabara, Azuki and Murasaki stopped and looked a little lonely at Koigasaki for an instant.

"Momo-chan ... Enjoy the rest of the day!"

"Please see us again when you come to Tokyo! When I have enough time off from work and I'm thinking of visiting you in Hokkaido ..."

"Eh !? Both of you ... what are you saying!?"

“I'm in Tokyo the day after tomorrow and the next day, too. I can still meet you ... Oh, but are they both busy ... " Koigasaki says while embarrassed.

"No, not at all! Of course I would like to go with Momo-san ...

"e……?"

"When we traveled to Hokkaido, we disturbed the precious time of two people there .... At least this time, please enjoy your time alone! I will go to see off on the last day!"

Azuki-chan and Murasaki-san said that a little lonely. That's how much they care about us ...

"Both of you ..."

The three girls once again held hands and made exaggerated skinships before sadly parting.

Then, Koigasaki and I got on the same train.

Koigasaki is supposed to stay at my house today. She seems to have received her mother's permission, but her parents have decided to stay at my house.

When Koigasaki came to Tokyo last time, she stayed at Azuki-chan's house, so this is the first time that Koigasaki has stayed at my house.

She told father and mother that she will stay with us today and she got their permission. Since father has returned for GW from his job, this is the first time father and mother will meet Koigasaki.

When I told my parents what she requested, they were amazed. It seems that they were not expecting her request to stay with us.

"Oh, I'm nervous!"

On the train, Koigasaki sitting next to me was fidgeting. Apparently, she is nervous about meeting my parents.

"Oh, oh ..."

My heartbeat had risen since I was alone with Koigasaki.

"Huh? Why are you nervous? It’s your house."

"Eh !? Oh, hey, I’m nervous because you are meeting my parents ..."

“Hah!? Hey, why don’t you trust me?

Actually, I didn't care about that at all. Both my parents are easygoing so there is no need for a flashy greeting. If they meet Koigasaki, they will certainly like her.

What I'm nervous about ... is spending time with Koigasaki under one roof. It's only natural for me to be nervous because we haven't had any other experience of staying together in the same place except for the trip to Hokkaido in March. Does Koigasaki think nothing about that?

Possibly, maybe ... we will finally cross the line during this GW ...!?

Well, I know that I can't do it because my parents will go on vacation, but I can't help but expect. Eventually, I arrive at my house, Koigasaki and I opened the door to the living room. My family was all together in the living room, mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, my sister was playing games, and my father was watching TV. All eyes went to us at once.

"I am home.”

"Oh, Sorry for intruding! Nice to meet you! Please take care of me, I'm Momo Koigasaki! This is exciting..."

Koigasaki was so nervous that I was worried but she greeted them politely and handed souvenirs to mother.

"Good evening ~! Welcome! ~ Don’t worry, we will take care of you ...... Yadamah, so pretty like a doll ...!"

"No way, such a beautiful lady would go out with my Naoki ..."

Our parents were very surprised to see Koigasaki. I've never sent them a photo before ...

"Momo, it's been a long time!"

"Akari-chan, it's been a long time! You’ve grown a bit!"

Koigasaki and Akari also reunited after a long time and then we had dinner. Because my girlfriend came, it seemed that Okaa-san cooked a bigger meal than usual.

"I was very surprised such a beautiful lady would like Naoki!"

"Oh no! That's not true!"

"I just want to ask about this ... What did you like about this guy?"

"Eh!? That ..."

Koigasaki was very surprised by father's question. I mean, what are you asking about ...

"His friendly face ..."

"Nmmm ~! Naoki, do your best with your girlfriend!"

Mother hit my shoulder loudly.

I imagined this would happen, but I was so embarrassed the way both mother and father were talking to Koigasaki just now. Koigasaki was nervous from the beginning and looked like she was having a hard time dealing with my parents.

"I don't really care about this child, I'm sorry if he causes you lot of inconvenience, but I hope you'll continue to be with him!"

"That's it! Poko, this is what we hope you will do in the future!"

After dinner, mother refused Koigasaki’s help in cleaning the dishes, since guests shouldn’t have to do chores. Mother then suggested that she take a bath first. Koigasaki opposed at first, but eventually headed for the bath. Fu, the night is finally coming ... Because we cleaned up the room at a tremendous rate for today. Even if it is difficult to do such a thing or such a thing because there is a family, it will be kiss, kiss .

"Nasty and looks really bad ..."

I realized that Akari was next to me on the sofa, and she is looking at me as if she were looking at something dirty.

"How rude ...!"

"I don't know what Naoki is thinking, but Momo-san you will in my room tonight."

"... Eh, eh !?"

I was surprised by what Akari said.

"Wow, that reaction ... you want her to stay in your room!??, What are you planning to do with her?? You are the lowest!

"Eh, uh ... no, no, I won’t do anything! But ... my girlfriend will stay in Akari’s room... what a strange thing ... "

I haven't heard that! I intend to completely stay in my room ...

"That's because, if she stays in Naoki's room, you'll definitely do weird things!"

"Nah ...?! I won't!"

"Anyway Mom also says so better!"

"e……!?"

I look at the mother washing in the kitchen.

"That's right, because I when I have an important guest in my home, so I can't let you do something crazy."

I felt down at mother’s words. What a development ... However, I can’t oppose mother here. Koigasaki has finished her bath, so I was next. Until a while ago, I thought about Koigasaki washing her naked body and felt somewhat strange.

Huh ... we can't spend the night in the same room ... When I got out of the bath, I didn't see Koigasaki and Akari in the living room anymore.

"Momo-san, she is in Akari’s room."

"Well, uh ..."

I was disappointed and headed to my room to sleep.

After all, today we can hardly be alone. Well, we'll be together tomorrow, although so we can't stay together tonight, I will you be patient ... I was going up the stairs and going to my room.

"Oh, Naoki"

Akari opened the door of her room and talked to me as I went up the stairs.

"We are playing 'Bakemon' right now ..."

"e……!?"

Akari let me in her room. Inside, Koigasaki was in pajamas holding a 3D portable game console.

"Ah, Kashiwada. Now I'm playing with Akari-chan and go to each other's secret base. Can you playing with us. You have the arcade version, right? "

"Oh, oh ...!"

"What if Naoki play also?"

Oh, that’s good!

I also brought 3DS and “Bakemon” software from my room and played with them. I'm sorry that we couldn't be alone in my room, but at least we are having. We played games until midnight until everyone was drowsy. I said good night to them then returned to my room to asleep.
