Chapter 145: [18+ Section]
I thought I had been recognized by a fan.
As I knelt there in exhaustion, Angu Ogu's smartphone trembled.
"……Ah~"
Angu Ogu wore a troubled smile and waved her hand faintly.
Following her gaze, a woman in a suit was discreetly watching us from the shadows.
"I see. Secret Service. You saw all of that exchange just now, huh?"
"Well, you'll get used to it eventually, so don't worry."
"Huh? It's not like I mind being seen or anything."
I tilted my head.
It's not like we were doing anything embarrassing.
"Haha, you're one of those, huh?"
"Come on, Ogu. Let's not dwell on this. If we stay here, we might run into fans again."
"Hey, don't pull me like that!"
I took Angu Ogu's hand somewhat forcibly and started walking.
Our destination was…
***
"Hey, Iroha. Doesn't something feel off about this place? The atmosphere here, it's weird, isn't it?"
"Is it just your imagination?"
"No, no, something's off! Everything is pink, and the skin color… Is this place safe even with us here?"
"Oh, it's fine, it's just an adult doujinshi corner."
"It's not okay!"
Angu Ogu's face turned bright red, and she shook my head vigorously.
Hey, you idiot, you're drawing attention to us.
"What are you doing, Iroha?! If the Secret Service finds out about this through you…!"
"Haha, it's not like we're doing anything embarrassing. Besides, Ogu said she'll get used to it."
"Embarrassing?! Aren't you the one who should be concerned? You're underage!"
"Well… So, where's the item you're looking for?"
"Hey, don't change the subject!"
Angu Ogu grabbed my clothes and wouldn't let go, pulling me away from the 18+ section.
"Hey, my clothes are stretching. And you don't have to worry so much. I'm just buying VTuber doujinshi."
"Is that so? I guess that's reassuring… Wait, why did that work just now? It's even more embarrassing since we know each other! What if I run into the actual person later?!"
"Eh? Ogu, you're quite demanding. You're not a middle school boy."
"Why am I the one who looks bad in this situation!?"
I sighed.
Well, if it's come to this…
"Well then, I'll look for the merchandise, and you just wait here. I'll pay for it later."
"Is that your plan…? You're trying to make me buy it casually!"
"Tch, you caught on."
Of course, minors can't purchase adult items.
In places like this anime shop, they even require you to provide identification.
They're more strict about checking this than buying alcohol or cigarettes.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Well, let's leave the story here for now.
"Sigh, alright, I get it. The plan was for me to accidentally pick up the doujinshi you bought, but fine. I'll put this back on the shelf."
"When did you pick that up?! Put it away quickly!"
Angu Ogu answered, trying not to look at the books I had in my hand.
Being treated like something "indecent" like that is a bit sad.
"Since the fans put in so much effort to create something for my oshis, I just wanted to take a look as much as possible."
"Huh? Is that so? Then Iroha, do you have doujinshi that your fans made for you… Wait, this isn't mineeeee!?"
"Eh? Yeah, because ‘Angu Ogu' is my ultimate oshi."
"What happened to your excuse from earlier?! You were talking about the feeling of reading fan letters, weren't you!?"
"So, it's like, fans of the same idol…"
"Is that what you mean?! So, Iroha, you want to see those kinds of things?"
Honestly, what is Angu Ogu even asking?
That's not something…
"It's obvious that I want to see it!"
"~~~~~!"
Angu Ogu's face turned even redder.
For some reason, she started flapping her arms and legs excitedly.
"So, do you want to do that kind of thing with me!?"
"No, not at all."
"Why not!? Ugh, reality is losing to fiction again."
Angu Ogu collapsed, wobbling.
She remained silent, her head hanging low.
"Well, there's no need to force yourself to buy it. I don't intend to push my ‘likes' onto anyone. That would be a serious violation."
It's normal to want someone to like the things you like.
However, there's a clear distinction between sharing your interests and evangelizing them.
"So, Ogu… um, Ogu?"
"Huh?! Wha-what is it!? Sorry, I wasn't listening!"
"We were having a good conversation just now! Or is there something strange about your behavior?"
"I-I think it's just your imagination!"
"What are you hiding behind your back?"
"?!?!?! I-I'm not hiding anything! Anyway, I suddenly remembered something I had to do, so I'll go do that separately from here! I'll be back in 5 minutes! Bye!"
"Hey, wait!? … Seriously."
Angu Ogu hurriedly walked away, leaving the conversation behind.
