Chapter 23 On this day, Natsume met a girl who claimed to be a Sony fan

Standing at the door and looking at the crowds of people in the store, Natsume Naoki thought to himself, how could he read the pornographic book with so many people?

Akihabara has a lot of land. Generally speaking, shops are either relatively narrow and long, or the shops themselves are one size smaller.

However, there are also stores like 'MANDARAKE' which are small but have eight floors, which can make up for the problem of small land with three-dimensional space.

The store he came to today is somewhat like a combination of 'MANDARAKE' and 'JUNGLE'. It sells books, comics, and a variety of figurines or small items.

This is simply a paradise for experienced otakus. If you just look through the small items under the boxes, you may find good things at affordable prices!

But this also indirectly led to overcrowding in the store, which was no worse than the crowds of women who flocked to jewelry stores in Shibuya on weekends.

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

I chose this store today because I have an acquaintance there.

"Welcome to your next visit!" Hayato Kitahara, wearing work clothes, was entertaining guests.

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

"It's quite early." Beiyuan smiled: "The store has just opened."

"Okay, this is your first time working in this store, right? You've already looked good on the first day." Natsume Naoki teased him with a smile.

"Of course," Kitahara Hayato said quite proudly, "I have been the working emperor of Chiyoda Ward for three consecutive terms!"

The title "Part-time Job Emperor" comes from a part-time job competition held in the Tokyo area. All unemployed people in the Tokyo area can sign up, but if they want to pass the audition, they must be jointly recommended by more than five stores.

It is said that this competition and title were originally to commemorate a girl who worked crazy part-time in the Tokyo area. She later married into a wealthy family and left behind the urban legend of the working emperor.

"It seems that the sponsor of this competition so far is still the husband of the girl who married into a wealthy family." Hayato Kitahara scratched his head: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you here for "Jockey Rider" today?"

Natsume Naoki nodded firmly: "I almost tore through the previous books. I knew every page, every pose, and every dialogue by heart. As a result, I even had the idea of ​​throwing away those notebooks when I was in the last week of Sage Zhou."

Hearing this, Beiyuan quickly said: "Don't be stupid! Every time I'm a sage, I will clear the hard drive, but within three days I will regret it extremely."

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

"Of course I know this, so I didn't throw them away, I just locked them up."

"Then today..."

"Today we are going to see if Nanami-sensei has published a new sequel." Natsume Naoki said, "Calculating the time between the first few volumes, the sequel should have been drawn long ago."

The Nanami teacher he talks about 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 she is also featured in various e-commerce event illustrations and cover designs of famous books... It is said that she is also a female painter!

Female!

He is also a colorist!

It is easy to think of Mr. Eromanga.

But unlike Eromanga, Teacher Nanami has also opened up overseas markets.

She has a place in the extremely strict Chinese ACG field. The kind of mobile game illustrations that cannot be too exposed and must be so subtle that someone will buy them are not a problem for her. Teacher Nanami, who returned after training in the Chinese market, has become a Japanese illustrator and

He is a new generation leader in the field of original painting.

Natsume Naoki looked around and motioned for Kitahara to bend down and listen: "Go to the warehouse and find out if your store has the latest sequel to the "Jockey Rider" series. If so, ask the store manager if he sells it...

…If I don’t sell it for the time being, I can still add money, so I’ll just buy one.”

Beiyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll look for it...which volume is it? I haven't read the "Jockey Rider" series for a long time."

Natsume Naoki immediately replied: "It's already the fifth volume. The latest one should be the extra chapter of the fifth volume. If it's not there, it means that the abominable Nanami teacher gave the extra extra chapter to me again. Then you should look for the sixth volume."

roll."

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

He had also read the "Jockey Rider" series, but unfortunately the single volume was too expensive and the plot had to be coherent to understand. He planned to pick it up midway, but ended up losing his interest.

Kitahara vaguely remembered that the plot was about a female ninja in the Edo period who rescued the male protagonist who lost his parents in the war, and then trained the male protagonist to become a qualified ninja from an early age.

Just looking at the setting, it looks a bit like the wolf and adoptive father in "Sekiro", but the "Jockey Rider" series is an out-and-out R18 book. The plot is rich, coherent and fascinating, and the painting style and astringency are even more outstanding. In the end,

The key point is of course the forbidden love affair between the male protagonist and his junior wife and fellow juniors.

Jockey Zhu Zu, you can tell just by listening to the title of the book.

There are common plots such as being tied to a pillar and forced to watch him take a bath to exercise his concentration, or the three of them can do shameful things together as long as they can drink more than the junior sister.

One of the scenes that impressed Kitahara the most was when the mistress was taking a bath, and the male protagonist was sitting by the hot spring, with a tray suspended above his knees supported by something indescribable. There was a small wine flask and a wine cup in the tray.

The male protagonist must adjust the height of the tray according to the movements of the mistress... He cannot use his hands yet, as his hands are tied behind his back.

In order to prevent the tray from slipping into the water due to lack of support and imbalance, the mistress had to stand up and stretch after a while. The bath lasted for half an hour, and the male protagonist did not spill a drop of wine into the hot spring.

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

Unlike ordinary NTR books where the male protagonist is Huang Mao or the Mistress, teacher Nanami said on her personal Twitter that the wife of the city lord in the sixth volume is Huang Mao, and the Mistress is actually the male protagonist’s mistress!

As soon as the news came out, comics were instantly pushed to the forefront, so it would make sense 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 no choice but to pray that there would be something in stock and wander around the store for a while.

There is a TV in the store, and the TV is playing a special ACG channel. There will be a scrolling cycle of the latest comics or game industry information, such as which voice actor announced his graduation, or which game has been delayed again——

"The ticket for "Picnic 2" has been delayed?!" Naoki Natsume watched the news on TV, his eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning.

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

Natsume Naoki suffered cardiopulmonary arrest.

“As expected, the ticket bounced, as expected.”

At the same time, a clear female voice came. Natsume Naoki looked back and found a petite girl wearing a sweater, looking up at the TV in the store like him.

The little girl is only about 1.5 meters tall. She has her hands in the pockets of her gray sweatshirt and is wearing a black peaked cap and sunglasses. She looks cool.

"Based on my investigation of Nintendo and various activities and work plans of their previous studios, it is not difficult to infer that the development of Picnic 2 has encountered a bottleneck."

The girl's attention finally shifted from Eiji Aonuma on TV to Naoki Natsume. Her words seemed calm and confident: "The bottleneck does not mean a creative problem, but a bottleneck of team coordination. The game is almost ready.

But it’s the consistent style of Nintendo’s top management to rework things as soon as possible.”

She has her own unique understanding of games, and her love for games is her unknown inner self.

Natsume Naoki's heartfelt grief when faced with the delay of her favorite game touched her, and she, who refused to socialize in private, spoke to this boy for the first time.

Of course, being handsome is also a very important reason. It's rare for her to see a gamer with a face that looks realistic.

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

She has such a mini figure. She is probably the smallest girl he has ever seen. She is just like a junior high school lolita...

Wait, it’s not a real loli, is it?

Natsume Naoki looked around. Logically speaking, junior high school students would not be allowed in a store like this.

"You know Nintendo very well," Natsume Naoki said kindly: "I have been waiting for Picnic 2 for many years. Although I know that Nintendo's usual practice of delaying tickets, as a fan who has been waiting hard for a game that I liked at first glance, it has been postponed.

It’s still uncomfortable... Aren’t you uncomfortable? Or did you already know that the ticket would be delayed?”

"No, I only found out about it just watching TV. I usually don't care about this."

The girl took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of very beautiful eyes, and her delicate facial features were like those of an expensive porcelain doll... She also had a similar figure.

She smiled softly and said nonchalantly: "Why should I be sad that the tickets for Picnic 2 have been delayed? I am a Sony fan!"
