Chapter 90 – What? Three at the Same Time?
After finishing the meal with the steaming curry scent and coming out, Ha-eun looked at Min-ji and asked.
“Minji, where are you going now?”
At that, Minji shows her map app to Haeun.
Her map app had marks all over the place.
“Here on the map…All the places marked…”
“…All of this? Will it be time?”
“If I work hard… I’ll do anything…!”
“Can’t you show some of that enthusiasm during dance lessons?”
“… Go, go.”
Minji desperately ignores Ha-eun’s last question and takes the lead.
However, the words that she took the lead put it to shame, and she stopped right in front of a building without walking a few steps.
“First… Here…”
“A bookstore? Oh, the poster picture is pretty.”
Ha-eun admires the pretty picture.
Even if she didn’t know it well, it seemed that there were a lot of colorful and pretty pictures attached to it.
“Hey, go with me.”
Min-ji went inside the bird bar where Ha-eun stopped for a moment.
The moment she followed her into her, Ha-eun’s reaction became brighter.
“There are so many comic books? I’ve never seen so many.”
“Wow~ Haeun-ah, look at this, it’s so cute.”
Ha-eun and So-ye admired the comic books placed here and there.
The sight of comic books piled up on the walls as well as on the floor in the middle of the floor seemed very strange to them.
It’s delicious to look at, and compared to the curry house before, it’s like a fairy.
“Up… Let’s go…”
However, Minji’s reaction was weaker than expected.
Moving quickly in search of the stairs, I just skim through the comic books on the way.
She followed him and hurried up to the second floor, but Minji did not stop and continued to climb the stairs.
“Hey, aren’t you here to watch? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“What you’re looking for… Is up there…”
That’s how she goes through the 3rd floor and goes up to the 4th floor at once.
What greeted us there was a curtained entrance unlike the other floors.
〈19〉
It is a curtain with a simple red ’19’ mark on it.
“Hey, this is…”
Ha-eun stopped and waited, but Min-ji went inside without hesitation.
“Wow, that’ll be fun~”
And, unexpectedly, Soye also laughed innocently and she easily went inside.
“Let’s go in quickly. We’re all in.”
“Uh, that, uh…”
Leaving behind the hesitant Ha-eun, I went inside.
Soon after, she chimed in and followed, but…
“This is all… What is…”
As soon as I entered, I was shocked and stopped walking.
It deserves it too.
I was also surprised and stopped.
“It’s no joke.”
The moment I crossed the curtain, a different world was unfolding.
All kinds of erotic picture posters were spread all over the walls, and all the doujinshi on the counters were naked.
It was a sight full of flesh and white, never before seen in Korea.
No, no matter how much it was, the change of attitude became so severe just because a curtain was crossed.
Even the air felt different.
“Wow… That’s amazing…”
Soye looked around her with admiration as if she were curious.
Minji stopped walking for a moment, perhaps a little surprised, but she quickly started looking for things.
And unlike the two women, Ha-eun stood still right in front of the entrance.
I looked up and saw that the face covered by the mask was flushed red.
“What do you think?”
“Bird, what do you think…!
When I jokingly asked, Ha-eun immediately got angry.
It is very good value for money in one word.
“Hey, look at this.”
I held out a copy of a doujinshi and handed it to Ha-eun.
“It’s okay, it’s okay…! What are you going to show me…”
“You might like it.”
Ha-eun glanced at me at my words.
“…What.”
I showed her exactly the cover of the book she was holding.
“Freya humiliation doujinshi.”
“My dear, this is…”
“You’ve just seen something like this. Oh, look here. Are there any books with a small temple in the background?”
When I handed out another book, Ha-eun grumbled.
“Oh no…!”
It’s fun to see such an intense reaction to seeing a book.
“Why?”
“I like Ha-eun very much when you show me that you are here.”
“Really?”
Soye joined right next to me, holding a book and showing it to Haeun.
“Ha-eun, how about this here?”
“Ah, no, not even my sister… What is she… Not ashamed of…?”
“Why~? We’re all adults? Rather than that, look at the contents of this.”
Soye smiled like a fox and opened the sample page and showed it to Haeun.
Then she started whispering something into his ear.
“Ah, no…! What the hell are you thinking, sister…!”
Ha-eun turns red right up to her ears.
She doesn’t know what she heard, but her reaction got a little violent.
But So-ye smiled happily and whispered to her persistently.
“That’s true, but something… It’s too embarrassing… What? Three at the same time?
After teasing Ha-eun for a while, So-ye turned her gaze to me and smiled at her once.
The longing eyes as if they wanted to eat while scanning my body, and the tails of their eyes smiling in an arc as if they were enjoying the process in advance…
At her meaningful gaze, my body instantly felt hot and a reaction came up in my lower body.
“Everything… I chose…”
Just at the moment when she swallowed her saliva, Minji returned to me with a thick envelope.
It seemed that the calculations had been completed before I knew it.
“Oh, did you pick them all?”
As if Soye had never been like that, she returned to her usual mood.
“Yeah… Unnie, what… Are you going to buy…?”
“No, I’m fine~”
She smiled and put her book back in her hand.
“Well then shall we go?”
Soye speaks with a refreshing voice.
Haeun and I didn’t say anything, just followed them with our faces blushing.
***
Next we headed to the arcade.
Even if it was an arcade, it was a super-large arcade that occupied the entire five-story building, not the one-story arcade seen in Korea.
Just like the doujinshi bookstore, the arcade is no joke here.
Isn’t it called the sacred place of otaku for nothing?
“This time it’s an arcade…”
Ha-eun muttered in a voice that was drained of energy.
“Hey, there’s no such thing as an adult corner in the arcade, right?”
“It will.”
“Haa, I’m just glad…”
Ha-eun shook her head as if she had just remembered.
It must have been shocking in many ways, and it must have consumed a lot of mental strength because of Soye.
So-ye was admiring him as if nothing had happened.
“Wow, there are so many dolls. They are so cute~”
What is the speed of change of attitude?
Still, Ha-eun quickly regained her energy, probably thanks to So-ye changing her mood.
“I put this level of quality as a raffle prize. It’s amazing.”
“That’s right~”
“Sister, do you want something?”
“Can you pick me up?”
“Yes.”
“Then me!”
Soye pointed to a rabbit doll wearing a pink hood in the distance.
It’s a character that I’ve seen a few times without realizing it, but it’s really cute.
“Okay, let’s try.”
I untied my hands and went to the machine.
I immediately put in a 1000 yen bill and focused on the moving crane and picked up the exact doll I wanted…
“Ah.”
The tongs seemed to have no strength at all, and they failed to grab the doll and pull it.
Isn’t this overtly deceptive?
“It’s not easy after all.”
“I guess so.”
Still, the money I put in, I should do my best until the end… I wanted to, but the remaining 5 editions were over in an instant.
It is said that all 6 dolls failed to pick up.
Gently stroke the doll’s head 5+1 times with a hook for only 1000 yen!
Wow, that’s really great.
“Shall we try one more time…”
If you give up, you will be secretly king.
“Let’s not do that, Sejin. This is an open scam.”
“…Yes.”
It was as Soye said.
If you try it 6 times and see that it is hopeless, it is right not to do it.
“But where are the kids?”
“Let’s go find it.”
I searched the first floor to find Minji and Haeun, who had disappeared before I knew it, and headed to the second floor.
The second floor was also full of claw machines, but the atmosphere of the prizes was a little different from the first floor.
If the bottom was full of cute dolls, usually things that ordinary people would like, the second floor was full of things that looked like cartoon characters, that is, things that otaku would like.
“Minji will be here.”
Nod
As Soye said, we were able to find Minji on the second floor right away.
“Ugh… Please… This time…”
Minji desperately tries to pull out a figure with a claw tong.
But every time I tried, the tongs just stroked the box of the figure.
There were times when the tongs picked up the box, but even then it soon lost its strength and just dropped it on the floor.
After watching it from behind for a while, I asked Ha-eun, who was standing next to me, anxiously.
“Ha-eun, how old is he?”
“I did a lot…”
“How much did you do exactly?”
“I do not know.”
Did you not monitor properly?
“Ugh…!”
When it fails again, Minji makes a strange sound.
With that, she took out her wallet and put the 10,000 yen bill right in.
Wait, 10000 yen?
〈 Diri-ri, ding-diri! 〉
The tongs move again with a cheerful sound.
And me, So-ye, and Ha-eun silently staring at their backs.
“Ugh… This time… Ah again…! Everything, again…!”
Minji works hard at operating the crane while shouting almost screaming.
As the number of remaining counts decreases as you fail in succession, it seems that those eyes are dyed with madness… Must be an illusion
“Hey… That one, the hand holding the joystick is shaking…”
Ha-eun stabbed me in the side as she spoke in a worried voice.
I was not mistaken.
“Ahhh…”
Now, while seriously contemplating how to stop a child who has almost cried, a man who appears to be an arcade employee approaches.
“(Japanese) Hey customer, can I help you?”
“Really? Ah, that, hey… !”
When Minji nodded hard, the employee smiled at her.
He took a key from his pocket and opened the claw machine’s window, then took out a small screwdriver and tightened the crane’s arm.
I’ve heard that the staff will help you if you keep failing, but I never thought I’d see you do it for real.
“(Japanese) Now then, one more time…”
After the maintenance (?) Was over, Minji immediately started the last version, and this time surprisingly, the crane picked up the figure box at once.
“Oh oh… !”
Rattle.
When the figure box falls through the product entrance, Minji hurriedly pulls it out.
“Ehehe…!”
Where did the trembling just before go, he stroked the box with a happy expression.
“(Japanese) Congratulations~!”
“Thanks… Do.”
Minji nodded and greeted the staff.
“Is it that good?”
“Yeah!”
If you are happy, it will be fine.
I feel like I’ve been scammed, but I’ve pulled out the items, so what?
I don’t want to limit myself to spending money while traveling.
“This time… Next to this…”
“No.”
“Stop.”
“No.”
Minji also snooped on the machine next to it, so the three of us stopped it right away.
To make a person’s resolutions come to an end in 3 seconds, he’s such an amazing kid.
***
Still, I was satisfied that I had picked one, so after taking Minji out with a smile on her face, the place we headed to was a used figure store.
It was a very small place full of figure boxes, so it was tight enough to fit even one person in. Perhaps because it was right next to the arcade, they were selling prizes from the arcade.
It seems that some of the people who drew the prizes sold it here.
“Ah.”
And among those products, of course, there was a figure that Minji had just poured over 10,000 yen into.
〈2,000 yen〉
With a price tag of less than 1/5.
“…”
Seeing that, Minji’s eyes narrowed in an instant, and her face became like a desert fox.
“It’s Minji.”
“…”
“Next time, before wasting too much money, let’s think about it before we use it. Okay?”
“…Yeah.”
It’s a pity to lose money, but you should think of it as a good experience in life, what can I do with the money I’ve already lost.
“I’ll buy you one of these. Don’t be too depressed.”
He patted Minji’s back, where her tension was down, and as a consolation, bought her a figure she wanted and handed it to her as a gift.
Of course, he also bought a doll for Soye and gave it to him.
The one I tried to pick up just now was sold for only 1000 yen.
“Wow, thank you…”
Upon receiving the doll, Soye gives a very happy expression.
Even though it’s not a big deal, it was to the extent that the giver’s heart was warmed that he liked it like that.
After shopping in such a small store.
“Next time…”
Minji was searching for her next destination again when two men approached her.
“(Japanese) I wonder…”
Two men cautiously look at Minji and talk to them.
I wondered if it was hunting, so I quickly went and stood next to Minji.
“(Japanese) Mr. Baku… Isn’t it?”
“Yes? Ah, that, hi…”
“(Japanese) Wow! That’s right! You said yes!?”
“(Japanese) Wow Wow…!”
As soon as they heard Minji’s answer, the two of them turned into colors and made a fuss.
…That someone already recognizes Minji?
