chapter 9
9 – Shopping and Karaoke
Slowly! Seruk-!
Umi changed her clothes in her try-on room. She could have dressed honestly, quietly, but she made a noise on purpose.
‘Huh. Because men are simple.’
The very sound of getting dressed should stimulate the imagination.
‘Finally…It’s summer clothes, so there’s exposure…’
Umi looked at her clothes and smiled at her conversion.
‘Yes!! I will definitely take this opportunity to make Shota flirt!’
Umi noisily pulled back the curtains in the try-on room, feeling like a warrior on the battlefield.
“How is it?”
Umi immediately addressed Shota with her words.
——–
Shota’s point of view again.
“Ohh…That’s fine.”
I said that with all my heart.
First of all, it was a light dress with frills. Since it was summer clothes, it felt like it emphasized coolness and coolness.
“But… Isn’t the one with the flower pattern too much? It’s pretty, but it feels like I’m aiming for cuteness? Are there any neater monochromatic clothes?”
First of all, since I came as the person in charge of reaction and evaluation, I reacted as carefully as possible.
“Hmm…Is that so? You, you have an eye for clothes.”
Umi thought seriously.
“Umi is pretty even if she doesn’t wear cute clothes. It feels like her beauty is buried in her clothes. That’s why it would be better if she wears less flashy clothes and gives points to her with accessories.”
I said so.
“Chi, you’re pretty even without makeup… Aren’t you ashamed to say that?”
Said Umi, blushing.
“I’m a shopper. I don’t feel any shame.”
I said so.
“Shopping man ….
Umi’s laughter bell burst right away.
“Okay. Other clothes then!!”
Umi went right into her try-on room.
After that, I gave appropriate advice while watching Umi’s fashion show.
What is the result? Umi ended up buying all of her clothes that she tried on. If that’s the case, why did you ask for a review?
In addition, I also bought accessories to save points.
——–
Right before leaving the clothing store, Umi asked me.
“By the way, don’t you buy clothes?”
Umi asked.
“Hmm? Not really. You have a school uniform.”
I said so.
“No….. You wear plain clothes on weekdays.”
Umi said with her eyes shining.
Ah…Is this a pattern? The pattern she says she picks out for her clothes. This makes the tedious shopping at the clothing store even longer. I immediately took an evasive maneuver.
“The clothes haven’t been torn yet. There’s no reason to buy new ones.”
I said so.
“Ahahahaha. There’s no reason to buy a new one. Ahahahahaha. The reason is so funny! Please stop being funny…”
Umi couldn’t hold back her laughter as her body trembled. He has a really good laugh
Anyway, we put off buying clothes and headed to our next destination.
———
Umi’s point of view again.
Umi belatedly realized her original purpose.
‘Ah… That’s right. I was here to seduce Shota…’
However, that was already forgotten in the middle.
‘It’s so much fun!!”
To be honest, it was really fun. Not only did they wait without feeling uncomfortable while shopping, but they were also able to have in-depth conversations about fashion. Besides, the occasional remarks stimulated Umi’s sense of humor.
‘Let’s put aside flirting for now… Let’s have fun.’
Umi just wanted to play with Shota for as long as possible.
‘After getting close!! Then I’ll make you my slave!’
Umi rationalized it like that.
It was time for Umi to somehow remind herself of her goal.
“Ah. I’ll carry the burden. That’s why I called you.”
Shota had just lifted the load of clothes.
‘It’s gentlemanly!!!!’
It was different from acting like a gentleman to impress women. The mature feeling of being considerate of what you should be doing without being indifferent hit Umi’s taste directly.
‘Hey, yeah…’
Inside Umi, an involuntary moan flowed out.
Within seconds, Umi stared at Shota’s face.
To be honest, it’s hard to see a face that’s handsome, but it’s strangely clean eyes and a good-hearted look.
‘Why do you look handsome?!!!!’
Umi let out a silent scream inwardly.
——
Shota’s point of view again.
‘By the way… Impressed.’
The development of Monday of the first week was different from the original game.
The existence I possessed, Shota Arigiri, has been relentlessly flirting with Umi since the first day. And it was a flow that a little point of contact was created by the player blocking it.
However, Arigiri Shota is distracted and stalks Umi until the night. It was the development that after breaking up with Umi, a monster appeared and Shota was killed.
And the next day, Shota Arigiri is found dead. The curious protagonist interrogates Umi for the last time she had a conversation with Shota Arigiri the day before.
As befits the main character who has one power of action, the main character investigates the scene at night without the knowledge of the police. And the player meets the monster and has his first battle.
‘Did I… Monopolize the relationship with Umi?’
Thinking that made me anxious.
However, this was unavoidable. I didn’t expect that Umi would cling to her so tenaciously even though she refused out of politeness.
‘It could be the last day of my life… It wouldn’t be bad to go on a date with such a beauty.’
I thought so. This much would be acceptable.
——
“Let’s go to karaoke!! Karaoke!!”
Umi said in a tone of complete excitement.
“Karaoke…Ah. It’s a high school girl’s pick.”
But…Is there a song I know? The only Japanese songs I know are sh*tty.
“Are you… Tone deaf?”
Umi said with a grin.
“I don’t sing well.”
To be honest, singing in front of people has become very uncomfortable.
“I want to see Shota sing.”
After hearing my words, Umi seemed to want to go to karaoke with me even more.
Is this… Are you trying to make me go roshi at karaoke? I realized the intent.
However, stepping out here hurt my pride even more.
“Let’s go. Karaoke.”
I said to Umi.
“Ohh. Do you have a good spirit?”
Umi went straight to a karaoke in the city as if she was excited.
——
Japanese karaoke. Actually, I’ve been there for the first time.
I had to quit on a part-time basis and pay a high price. I didn’t know that the amount of money would come out like a billiard room. As if the price was high, the shape of the room and the equipment were good. Besides, it was a structure that could order something to eat. It was a bonus to sell drinks unconditionally. Think of it like a board game cafe. It felt like everything that was f*cking and savage had been put into it. I recharged my food to the fullest at the convenience store, and I felt that anti-Japanese sentiment was growing rapidly here.
‘Why is there no coin karaoke…’
That’s the best value for money.
“Okay. I’ll yield to you.”
I passed the microphone to Umi.
“Why are you patronizing me?”
Umi said with a wry smile.
“That’s right, if I sing too well at first, your motivation will disappear. I don’t want to sing alone.”
I said so.
“You’re so arrogant!! You said you couldn’t sing earlier!!”
Umi laughed and shouted.
“Ah….I did. However, your provocation made me ‘seriously’.”
I said, shaking my head.
“Ahahahaha! Please stop talking like that!”
Somehow, it felt like Umi’s smile broke out again.
“Okay!! Then start with me!”
Umi pressed the song number right away.
Umi started singing something sweet. It was an easy, refreshing love song. I applauded moderately and reacted.
The song is over.
Honestly, I sang well. It felt like a hit among the general public.
’95 Points’
The score of the karaoke machine was quite high.
“How is it? My song.”
Umi said triumphantly.
“Oh. Good job.”
I praised him obediently.
“…..For a kid.”
Then I added a word.
“Ahahahahaha!! Really cheeky!! Let’s see!! How good you are!!”
Umi smiled and passed the remote control to me.
Roughly, I looked at the book with the karaoke number.
As expected. There was an anime song.
Ah…My anime song folder is breathing fire. I immediately pressed the opening number of a song that even a normal girl would know.
It was the opening of a famous magical girl drama.
“Ah! This song!”
Umi seemed to know too. It was as if she was immersed in her memories. Okay. It was the effect I expected.
After the melodious melody unique to Anisong was over, I grabbed the microphone right away.
“Dokkiri Dokkiri Dongdong!!”
Then I put Jeonju in my mouth. In addition to the dance moves.
“Chikara is doing high!!!!!! Dothreu!!!!”
Today’s me was Apollo, the god of music.
——–
After the song ended, I exhaled.
’96 Points’
“Heh…Is this about it?”
In the first place, it was easy to get a good score on the karaoke machine. Once the voice is above a certain level, it was enough to match the beat line. In the end, a machine made of 0 and 1, baking and boiling was not even a job.
It was my victory. aaah. I was expecting a good number.
“Uhehehehe…Please…Isn’t it funny…A hahahaha…”
Umi was unconscious from laughter.
“Can you feel it? The difference in strength.”
I looked at the score screen and got my stance.
“It’s only one point difference!!! What are you boasting about!!”
Umi got angry belatedly.
“Ah… To your eyes, it’s only one point difference.”
In the end, haven’t we reached the stage where we can understand the meaning contained in it?
“aaah! What annoys me!!!”
Umi immediately grabbed the remote control and registered the next song.
“Because we will definitely win!!!”
Umi laughed, burning her fighting spirit.
The confrontation at the karaoke room heated up quite a bit. Originally, I cut off 1 hour, but it was extended by 1 hour, so I ended up singing for 2 hours.
In the end, Umi won.
Like that, we left the karaoke room feeling free.
