Chapter 23: On this day, Natsume meets a girl who claims to be a Sony fan

Standing at the door and looking at the crowd in the store, Naoki Natsume thought to himself that there were so many people, how could he turn the little yellow book?

Akihabara is a big deal, and the shops are either narrow and long, or the shops themselves are smaller.

However, there are also small stores such as 'MANDARAKE' that have as many as eight floors, which makes up for the small land problem from the three-dimensional space.

The store he came to today is a bit of a combination of 'MANDARAKE' and 'JUNGLE', selling books, books, comics, and all kinds of figurines and small items.

This is simply a paradise for veteran otakus, and if you look through the small items under those boxes, you may find good things at affordable prices!

But this also indirectly led to the overcrowding of the stores, which is just as much as the women who flock to the Shibuya weekend jewelry store.

Fortunately, Naoki Natsume saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

I chose this store today because I have an acquaintance.

"Welcome next time!" Hayato Kitahara is entertaining guests in overalls.

When the guest walked away, Kitahara was tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Naoki Natsume.

"It's pretty early." Kitahara smiled: "The store has just opened." ”

"Okay, you, this should be your first time working at this store, right? It was all the same on the first day. Naoki Natsume joked with a smile.

"Of course," said Kitahara proudly, "I'm the three-time Emperor of Chiyoda-ku's part-time job!" ”

The title "Part-time Emperor" comes from a part-time contest held in the Tokyo area, and all unemployed people in the Tokyo metropolitan area can sign up, but if you want to pass the audition, you must have a joint recommendation from more than five stores.

It is said that the contest and title were originally held in honor of a young girl who worked like crazy in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and later married into a wealthy family, leaving behind an urban legend of the working emperor.

"It seems that the sponsor of this contest is the husband of the girl who married into a wealthy family." Kitahara Hayato scratched his head: "Don't talk about this, you're here for "Jockey Ancestor" today?" ”

Naoki Natsume nodded firmly: "The previous ones are about to make me rot, and every page, every posture, and every dialogue is reversed, which leads to the idea of throwing away those notebooks when I was a sage in the last week." ”

When Kitahara heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't be stupid! I have always cleaned the hard drive of the sage, and I regretted it in less than three days. ”

He showed Naoki Natsume the memo on his mobile phone: "Now I always remember the license plate number." ”

"Of course I knew that, so I didn't throw them, I just locked them up."

"Then ...... today"

"Let's see if there is a new sequel to Teacher Nanami today." Naoki Natsume said, "Counting the interval between the first few volumes, the sequel should have been drawn a long time ago." ”

The teacher Nanami in his mouth is a very famous painter in the book world, and his pen name is [Nanami].

This person is not only active in the R18 field, but also has illustrations for various e-commerce activities and cover designs for famous books...... It is said that she is also a female painter!

Female!

It's still a coloring map!

It's very reminiscent of Mr. Eromana.

But unlike Eromana, Nanami has also opened up overseas markets.

She has a place in the extremely strict Celestial Empire ACG field, and the kind of mobile game that can't be too revealing and must be astringent to someone buy it can't make it difficult for her.,Teacher Nanami, who returned after exercising in the Celestial Empire market,Has become a new generation leader in the Japanese illustration and original art industry.。

Naoki Natsume looked left and right, and motioned for Kitahara to bend over and listen: "You go to the warehouse to find out if there is the latest sequel to the "Jockey Ancestor" series in your store, and if so, ask the store manager if it sells it...... If I don't sell it for the time being, I can add money, so I'll buy a copy. ”

Kitahara nodded: "Okay, I'll look for it...... What volume is it out? It's been a long time since I've watched the Jockey Ancestor series. ”

Naoki Natsume replied: "It's out of the fifth volume.,The latest should be the fifth volume.,If not, it means that the hateful Nanami teacher gave the fan-wai again.,Then you can find out if there is a sixth volume.。 ”

Kitahara looked at Naoki Natsume's serious expression and nodded.

He has also seen the "Jockey Ancestor" series, but it's a pity that the single book is too expensive, and the plot must be coherent to understand, and he planned to raise it halfway, but he lost his interest.

Kitahara vaguely remembers that the plot is probably that a female ninja in the Edo period saved the male protagonist who lost her parents in the war, and then trained the male protagonist to become a qualified ninja from an early age.

Just look at the setting, it's a bit like the wolf and the stepfather in "A Wolf", but the "Jockey Ancestor" series is an out-and-out R18 book, the plot is rich and coherent and fascinating, and the painting style and astringency are even more brilliant, and the most important thing is, of course, the forbidden love affair between the male protagonist and the master and the same sister.

Jockey Jiaozu, just listening to the title of the book can be seen.

What was tied to a pillar by the master and forced to watch herself take a bath to exercise concentration, or as long as the little sister could drink enough alcohol, the three of them could do embarrassing things together, etc., these are common plots.

One of the most impressive episodes for Kitahara is that Shi Niang is taking a bath, the male protagonist is sitting by the hot spring, a tray is supported by an indescribable thing and hangs above his knees, and the tray contains a small wine jug and wine cup.

The male protagonist must adjust the height of the tray according to the actions of the master...... He couldn't use his hands yet, and his hands were tied behind his back.

In order to prevent the tray from slipping into the water due to insufficient support, the master had to stand up and stretch after a while. The bath lasted for half an hour, and the male protagonist was stunned that not a drop of wine was spilled into the hot spring.

And it is said that the sixth volume of the upcoming single book also involves the NTR plot of the male protagonist and the wife of the hostile city-state.

is different from the general NTR book in which the male protagonist is the yellow hair or the bitter master, Teacher Nanami said on his personal Twitter that the wife of the city lord in the sixth volume is the yellow hair, and the bitter master is actually the male master's wife!

As soon as the news came out, the comics were instantly pushed to the forefront, so it is reasonable for the store owner to plan to do hunger marketing if he got the first batch of new books.

While waiting for Kitahara to leave, Natsume Naoki had to pray that there would be goods while shopping around the store for a while.

There is a TV in the store, and the TV is playing a special ACG channel, and there will be a scrolling cycle of the latest information in the manga or game industry, such as which voice actor announces his graduation, or what game has jumped the ticket again-

""Picnic 2" has bounced?!" Naoki Natsume watched the news on TV, his eyes widening as if he had been struck by lightning.

On the screen, Eiji Aonuma was dressed in a suit, and without the slightest guilt, he announced that the release of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2" would be postponed until next spring.

Naoki Natsume suffered cardiopulmonary arrest.

"Sure enough, the ticket bounced, as expected."

At the same time, a crisp female voice came, and Naoki Natsume looked back to find that it was a small girl in a sweatshirt, looking up at the TV in the store like him.

The little girl is about 1.5 meters tall, with two hands in the pockets of a gray sweatshirt, wearing a black cap and sunglasses, looking cool.

"Based on my investigation of Nintendo and from their previous studio activities and work plans, it is not difficult to deduce that the development of Picnic 2 has hit a bottleneck."

The girl's attention finally shifted from Eiji Aonuma on TV to Naoki Natsume, and her words seemed calm and confident: "The bottleneck does not mean that it is a creative problem, but a bottleneck of team coordination. The game is almost ready, but reworking it when it's about to be done is the consistent style of Nintendo's top management. ”

She has her own unique understanding of games, and her love for games is something she doesn't know about.

Naoki Natsume's heartfelt grief in the face of her beloved game bouncing touched her, and she said a few more words to the teenager for the first time in private.

Of course, being handsome is also a very important reason, and it is rare for her to see a game house with a full face.

Naoki Natsume looked at the girl, but he was thinking about something else.

The figure is so mini, this is probably the smallest girl he has ever seen, just like a little Lori in the country......

Wait, it can't be a real Lori, right?

Naoki Natsume looked around, it stands to reason that this kind of store will not allow junior high school students to come in.

"You know Nintendo very well," Naoki Natsume said in a friendly voice, "I've been waiting for Picnic 2 for many years, and although I know that Nintendo's skipping tickets is a consistent style, as a fan who has been waiting for a long time, I still feel uncomfortable when I hear that my favorite game has been postponed at first glance...... Aren't you uncomfortable? Or did you already know that the ticket would be bounced? ”

"No, I just found out about watching TV, and I don't usually care about that."

The girl took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of very good-looking eyes, and her delicate facial features looked like expensive porcelain dolls...... The figure is also quite similar.

She smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Why should I be sad about the Picnic 2 bounce?" I'm a Sony fan! ”
