Volume 9 - CH 4

Yoru Hiru is Proud

“Now then, next is your turn, Akechi-sensei.”

“Tell us! Who do you think has the finest breasts, Akechi-sensei!?”

“StarChild obviously.”

.

.

Saying so, I submit a few reference images to the [Explode Riajuu] chat.

.

.

“Take a look at her soul-cleansing form. This untainted innocent expression of beauty. Royal Road is Best. This armpit shot on the first photo is especially electrifying.”

“That’s gross, Akechi-sensei!”

“Picking the Royal Road is unfair, Akechi-sensei!”

.

.

Takeru probably wanted to say [You disgusting siscon], he couldn’t say it directly in front of Yamamoto but his feelings were conveyed.

But I will not be defeated. I’m someone who has won against over a hundred StarCha-Antis and was even got called StarChild’s shill after all. (TLN: Anti(s) are groups of haters, doxx-er)

.

.

“Risa’s are bigger so I think she’s still superior though.”

“I think compatibility is more important than size.”

“Are you guys that shallow? StarCha’s chest is not something that you amateurs can describe with just that. Take a look at this exhibit.”

“Wha!?”

“T, This is!?”

“This is StarCha on her debut.”

.

.

I sent another image to the group chat.

It’s an image of Starcha in her younger days.

.

.

“Th, They are growing……!?”

“That’s right. Girls take their time to grow up. No matter big or small, the important factor is anticipation. That’s StarCha……. Do you get it now?”

“All hail StarCha!”

“To date a girl like this………”

.

.

Takeru and Yamamoto fell.

Once again, StarCha’s fanbase has grown bigger.

.

.

Recently, a prophet named [Real_Honnouji] appeared on the StarCha-Anti forum. The rumors said that he has created a new religion called StarChaism by converting the Antis into Believers.

The identity of [Real_Honnouji] is still unknown.

The only account he’s following on his [Real_Honnouji] Twitter was StarChild’s official account but he already has more than 50,000 followers on the platform alone.

Moreover, he is also being followed by StarCha’s official account which means he’s been recognized by StarCha herself.

On the internet, people have formed a group dedicated to finding out the real identity of [Real_Honnouji] but his existence is still a mystery and no one was able to discover any new leads on him.

.

.

“Last turn is mine huh.”

.

.

Brimming with energy, Takeru proudly presents his pick.

.

.

“I love Sawamura Yama’s chest.”

“Not Risa’s!?”

“It’s like you were saying you like Tempura but suddenly talk about Tendon instead, read the mood, man.”

(TLN: Tendon is rice with tempura on top.)

.

.

……Rather, this protagonist, just which of the heroines is he going to pick?

Yoru-san…….

Your main heroine position will have a (lol) tagged on at this rate, try a bit harder with this guy, please………

“They did something like that yesterday, I saw it all.”

.

.

Yoru exposed yesterday’s Men of Culture Presentation to Tatsuyuki-san and Master.

.

.

“That’s kinda gross.”

.

.

Master seems to be grossed out.

.

.

“Right! Can you not steer Takeru’s taste to some weird direction!? Do you know how much I suffered doing research on Sawamura Yama!?”

“Eh? Yoru, you did that? Does that mean there’s [Sawamura Yama] in Yoru Hiru’s search history……? I see, you’re a closet pervert huh.”

“Shut up will ya!? ……..and I was starting to see you in a new light too.”

“Eh? Me?”

“I still can’t stand your guts alright.”

.

.

Yoru glares at me.

Hmm, she’s even more TsunTsun(prickly) than Madoka

You can’t get a DereDere(mellow) Yoru unless you’re Takeru after all. No way around that huh.

.

.

“Arghh……why do I have to put up with the likes of Akechi at my first part-time job…….”

.

.

First part-time job?

I recall a scene from the game at Yoru’s quiet muttering.

.

.

.

.

[[Look, Takeru! This waitress uniform, it’s cute, right? Praise me.]]

[[Y, Yoru, that uniform……., it looks nice on you……]]

[[*Kera Kera Kera*(cackling sound), you’re blushing now.]]

.

.

.

There was a scene where Yoru teased Takeru when he started to blush as he praised Yoru’s appearance.

It was a cafe part-time job event that happened automatically when you raised her favorability point.

If my memory is correct, I think she was working at a barren coffee shop with barely any customers around. She invited Takeru to visit her and once the teasing is done, the scene just transforms into a flirting event.

.

The daughter of the owner of the coffee shop she started working part-time at was the same age as Takeru, she became a shut-in and when the owner had fallen ill, Yoru was hired to help out.

I think Takeru also said something like [It’s a shame this place has no customers when the atmosphere is this good].

.

.

This place is the same that it also barely has any customers but the owner’s daughter isn’t a shut-in and the owner himself didn’t fall ill either.

Has something changed in the story?

.

Why did Yoru start working at a different coffee shop than the original?

Is this happening because Takeru and Yoru are not particularly close?

This is puzzling.

.

That said, I might find a coffee shop with a shut-in girl and sick owner if I look around huh……..

The setting itself was pretty unimportant but it was certainly quite heavy.

.

Wouldn’t the fact that Yoru is now working at a coffee shop with a cheeky owner and an eccentric girl instead of a depressing coffee shop be a big deviation from the game’s storyline…..?

.

.

“This waitress uniform’s design came from my predecessor’s era but I think it’s still good though.”

“Yeah, the frills should work wonders in attracting more male customers.”

.

.

Master and Tatsuyuki-san started commenting on Yoru’s waitress uniform.

I don’t know why but I feel like I’ve seen this uniform in the game as well.

I think the uniform in Yoru’s portrait in that event had this exact same type of frills.

It’s probably just a coincidence though……

.

.

“Come on, Akechi. This waitress uniform, it’s cute, right? Praise me.”

“Yeah, it looks good on Yoru. It’s like it was designed just for you.”

“*Kera Kera Kera*, Right, Right.”

.

.

While listening to Yoru’s characteristic *Kera Kera Kera* laugh, I wondered if we’ve gotten along a little better with this event. 

———–

Author Note: Incidentally, the true identity of the sick owner and the shut-in girl of the coffee shop Yoru worked at in the game……….I don’t have to spell it out right.

.

Naturally, Hideyori was being META with his praise as the waitress uniform was clearly designed to suit the main heroine, Yoru Hiru for this event.
