That evening.

When I returned home, I sighed, resting my purchases on the floor today.

‘I did it. I spent about 50,000 in one day on my salary. ’

The items on the floor are fabric for making figure clothes and accessories for decorating them separately. And three sets of summer figures for the heroes on the streets without me.

I bought three limited edition figures, why not 50,000 yen?

It's because this is a pre-paint model.

Unpainted, unfinished figures are relatively cheap.

The last time I was painting a broken figure, I felt like I was stepping into a new world.

I originally went to Akiba to buy a limited figure of Nasse, but when I looked closely, I noticed a little bit of a regret, even though the painting was complete.

‘I could have saved a little more detail back there.’

I was looking at the store with that in mind. What caught my eye were the figures before this painting.

Rather than buying a finished product, I ended up buying all three Hiro's limited figures, which I enjoyed making with love one by one.

‘The cost of living will be high this month, but I have no regrets. ’

First, I picked up a notebook and walked along Ginza Street in the morning, looking for something that would suit Miyuki.

‘This better be good. ’

After a while, I picked out a target and started cutting the fabric I had bought cheaply.

It was one of the ways I devised because expensive fabrics could not be carelessly consumed.

‘First practice with this, and silk is the last challenge. ’

So many more days went by.

“Wow... perfect!! ”

Miyuki was showing off a beautiful figure on her desk, just as I had imagined.

"Dangerous. I made it, but I made it too well!! ’

Come to think of it, the silk fabric made by Miyuki is much more expensive than the piece of cloth I'm wearing now.

Miyuki's kimono, which took a sweat to avoid making a mistake, was really a result of the blooming effort.

The only figure in the world.

The fact alone made me feel overwhelmed, but I felt a strange feeling as well as a void for some reason.

"I want to boast to others..."

&

Then one weekend.

After much thought, I carefully packed Miyuki's figure on my desk into a bag.

I was curious about people's reactions to the Kimono version of Miyuki, so I decided to rent an exhibition at the Figure Shop that I frequented.

Occasionally, if the figurehouse craftsmen display personal collections, they would auction off visitors to the figurehouse.

Of course, I didn't want to sell the first work that I worked hard to create to anyone.

Just how will it react? How much will the bid be placed?

I was so curious.

A moment later, I stopped by the Figure Shop and contacted the staff to rent a small shelf at the entrance.

‘Not a bad position. I'll see it as soon as I get inside the store. ’

Sign the contract the employee signed and pay for the display. Shortly after, my figure was on the shelf.

Looking at her smiling brightly, receiving the spotlight installed inside the shelf, I felt like I had found a place for her to belong.

And pretty soon, a lot of things started happening.

“What is this? Who did this?”

“What? Huh? Ugh! Phew... Cool! ”

As soon as they saw the new Kimono version of Miyuki, they began to admire it.

“No one has registered for this bid yet? Is this for sale? ”

I had already registered for sale, but it didn't matter because I could have paid a partial fee and declined in the future. Now, let's see how far we can go.

At that time, those with some snow sleds realized that Miyuki's model was the same as the summer limited swimsuit version.

“Looks like you've already customized another version of the finished figure. Same pose as the swimsuit version. But what's the quality of this madness? ”

Soon people began to gather around the figures I made. Then came the first bidder.

-25,000yen -

It's not a bad price for the initial bid, but it doesn't cost you any materials.

Watching people's reactions in a corner of the figure shop, I swallowed the drink I had in my hand with a mouthful of laughter.

A second bidder appeared shortly after.

-35,000yen -

Ten minutes later, 10,000 yen was added. But it's just a precursor to the value of the material in the figure. Compared to the time and effort I put in, the money seemed cheap.

But in less than 30 minutes after the exhibition, the price went up to 35,000 yen...

A miracle. A miracle...

The next day on Sunday.

After part-time work, I was excited to head to Akihabara without going to sleep.

As soon as I arrived before the opening of the Figure Shop, I simply stopped for breakfast at a nearby fast food store and went back to the shop.

‘Well, let's see how far it goes. ’

As soon as I walked into the store smiling like that, I saw the amount on Miyuki's shelf, and it hardened.

-189,000 Yen-

Am I dreaming?

189,000 yen is more than I've worked for a month!?

I can't believe the price just jumped up and down in a day. Suddenly, the calm heart began to pound.

What is this? Do I have to sell it? It's the first one I've done with a lot of effort, but it's worth 189,000 yen... "

I thought you were good enough to climb up to 70-80,000, but you've suddenly become a super rare item, right?

No. There's only one in the whole world, so it's a very rare item...

And that moment. One evil thought crossed my mind.

“Hey, this is the guy who made the Miyuki figure for the kimono version. I need to adjust the figures for a moment, but could you open the decorations? ”

“Oh, yes. Okay, sir. ”

The clerk took Miyuki's figure from the shelf and smiled delightfully, returning it to me.

“Really, it wasn't because of the figures you showed me yesterday. At the end of the day, we had a fight with our guests. ”

“Really?"

“It was really, really popular. How the hell did you come up with these figures? ”

“Haha, that's a coincidence.”

The figure was crushed.

I roughly twisted my horse and pulled off the kimono's collar and threw it over Miyuki's outer shoulder. Then a scream came out of the mouth of the shopkeeper who was watching him.

“Customer!? This...!! This!!! ”

Following Miyuki's first broken arm and leg, I made a kimono, which was the version that flowed down.

As her covetous brassiere emerges between the spilled kimonos, the clerk does not conceal his excitement as he howls his nose.

Why don't you take this?

I turned the heel of the naturally loosened kimono in reverse, revealing the folded butt flesh, Miyuki's maximum appreciation point.

“Phew!! Oh, my God!! Look at the detail.

I drove Miyuki back to the ornament with a bloodied smile in the shopkeeper's enthusiasm.

“Oh, and please don't film this. ”

“Yes, I understand. I'll do as you say."

A few moments later, the customers came to the store and were astonished at the appearance of another Miyuki from yesterday.

“What the hell!? You changed into underwear!! ”

“Cough... genius. I can't believe you made a kimono on purpose... You're so desperate. ”

But is it because of a huge bid? No one was able to offer a new bid amount.

At that time, a customer holding the camera pushed the lens towards the figure, and the clerk who was watching it hurriedly suggested.

“Customer!! No pictures!! ”

“Oh...”

The customer put the camera down, expressing his regrets at the shopkeeper's cry.

People were looking around the shelf to see if they wanted to capture Miyuki with their eyes.

At that time, a man openly looked at Miyuki's butt and shouted, "Eureka."

“Here. This part!! It even embodies folded expression!! I'd buy it right now if I had crazy real money!! ”

“But why don't you sell this? 189,000 yen is a lot of money for a newcomer, and you didn't pay for it? ”

‘I'm still worried about it!? ’

At that time, a middle-aged man who looked like he felt like he was going into the store came in and asked the cashier.

The man who looked very burdened looked at the Miyuki figure in a new look and went to his mouth, flapping his tongue.

“Have you heard from the Miyuki Figure seller wearing a kimono yet? ”

Then, the clerk looked at me.

With a sinister look on his face, he turns his head to the right and to the left, and the clerk opens his mouth with an embarrassing expression.

“Oh, well, not yet.”

“I'll be back later this afternoon, so please let me know if the seller comes by. I want to buy whatever I want. ”

The middle-aged man tapped the glass display and disappeared with a nasty smile.

‘Ah... I can't. I'll take it back instead of taking money from him. ’

I made up my mind and secretly approached the cashier.

“Hey, I think we should take the Miyuki figures. ”

“Yes? What do you mean, sir? How much is this now!? ”

“I never meant to sell it. I just wanted to see how much it would go up.”

“What!? Guest. You should not induce bidding with that intention. However, since the original owner doesn't want to sell, I have no choice but to cancel this time. Pay 10% on the bid and we'll cancel it for you. ”

“Yes? 10%? ”

“If you take back the product you were trying to sell, you will lose our store image and you will receive a 10% commission to cover it. ”

Wait, if you pay 10% of 189,000 yen, you can get it back!?

Khh... This is bad. I don't have that kind of money right now!
