Episode 6
Nagi's Heart-stopping Craziness
Jin Mikuriya
Hello? Jin?
Hey Tsugumi! Are you free now?
Are you busy?
No, I'm not doing much...
Then... could you come with me to buy some stuff?
Sure.
Great.
Then I'll see you at the shopping district at two o'clock.
Tsugumi!
Nagi?
Sorry for making you wait.
N-Never mind...
Where's Jin?
Yeah, he's counting on you.
I see...
You really are a great help!
I've never been shopping at a place like this before.
Without you, I wouldn't know where to start.
So it's like this...
Don't get mad, Tsugumi.
It's you who misunderstood.
Nagi is not in the wrong.
Get it together, already.
What's wrong?
N-Nothing!
Anyway, what do you want to buy?
I want to buy some clothes first, and then some underwear.
Then, if possible, a few shoes and bags.
I also want to look at some accessories, too.
So, how much did you bring?
Behold!
Just ten thousand yen...?
That's right!
And if there's change, I'll be sure to treat you!
Thanks...
Y-You got to be kidding me!
Why is it all so expensive?!
This place is already fairly cheap...
Is she not aware of the market price...?
Just what kind of rich life did this girl live?
I saw this trinket at the one hundred yen shop, but if I put it on a bag like this can it be used to fake a Samantha Thavasa?
That coming from a girl who dresses like a comic-book character could only cause our female viewers to laugh.
Ten thousand yen...
What am I supposed to do with this?
You want new clothes?
Yes. You don't have many clothes that I can wear, at the moment.
But aren't you a God?
Can't you just create your own clothes?
Don't talk nonsense!
These clothes appeared when I materialized in human form.
And humans naturally wear clothes, right?
I get it.
You ought to get Tsugumi to help you with this kind of thing.
Here, ten thousand yen.
C-Can I?
I was being grateful for such a measly amount of money! What an idiot I was!
Jin, you cheapskate!
You think you can force me to just give up, and settle for buying just three sweaters?
That's because men's clothing is always cheaper.
Do you still want to buy some underwear?
Let's go take a look.
I never knew there were so many types of underwear!
These are totally different from what I wear!
Huh, different?
The difference is huge!
Jin, that boy, it would have been good if he had bought these from the start.
Jin, what did he...
Light and soft...
How cute! How cute!
Nagi, this feminine style really suits you.
Ladies, please feel free to try on anything you like.
Try anything on?! Don't try to stop me!
Poke
Uaaaa...
Nagi?
Tsugumi w-what's your cup size?
Well...
I'm...
Usually between a B and a C...
After I've put on a little weight, I'm easily a C.
But this is me, fifteen year old me we're talking about.
In comparison to Nagi...
If I told her the truth, I'd end up hurting her feelings.
I'm a C cup!
Which is about average for Japanese women.
W-What am I saying?
S-So it's like that...
How could I hurt Nagi's feelings so carelessly?
Average... Average...
Idiot, idiot!
Tsugumi, you horrible girl!
So it's like that...
This one's a little loose... That is to say...
No. I've got to stop thinking about this so seriously.
I-If you want to buy, the prices over there are cheaper.
Also, those are more suitable for teenage girls.
S-So I see!
Will these fit me better?
AA Size
Don't worry if "it's" small.
D-Did she notice?
W-What's this feeling of being defeated?
I made the situation worse!
Tsugumi you stupid girl!
So... I guess my size is B Cup!
It's B? I had no idea...
I guess so...
That being said, my B's a fairly large one, probably closer to a C.
Future growth considered, I may even be a definite size C before long.
Is this your first time here?
Yes...
Please, come this way.
By your measurements, D could be a little too small.
Really? I'm not sure...
Please don't worry.
Many of our customers feel embarrassed about their size and wear smaller bras on purpose.
You should really wear what fits you right.
Pardon me for asking, but which grade are you in?
Junior high school freshman...
Oh, you'll still be growing in that case.
I'd recommend you start off with a larger size.
Teenagers have been growing quite fast as of late...
Nagi? That's a D c...
They will grow!
For sure they will grow!
Thank you!
Just wait until I see Jin, I'll definitely show him.
Next time we'll visit some of the cheaper stores nearby.
Really?
Well, I couldn't have you buying just three shirts, right?
Girls should have plenty of clothes to choose from.
That's right.
I couldn't possibly get by with just three shirts alone.
I'll go persuade Jin, too.
PART-TIME JOB
WE'RE HIRING!
Looking for a job?
Positions: Waitresses, Cooks and Janitors
Time:
18 and above
900 YEN
1000 YEN
Maybe I should get a job...
Jin!
G-Good morning!
I really want to visit a maid café.
If we get Mr. Tanaba's consent there should be no problem.
Leave that kind of erotic game till after Founder's Day to do.
I really want to go to a place with the real deal.
But those kind of things around the city don't exist anymore, do they?
Sorry to disappoint you,
but there actually is one in this town.
A maid café, that is.
Wow, even in a town as secluded as ours?
It only opened recently, but I heard it's pretty amazing.
Maid café.
Oh, yeah, you've been there.
Why would you even want to?
Isn't it a place only desperate guys would go to?
Well, when I'm at a maid café...
It's the only time I can stare at cute girls in frilly dresses without embarrassment.
That's the Takako I know.
But, if you like frilly dresses, can't you just wear them yourself?
It's completely different!
Wearing and watching are two completely separate concepts.
I only like to see cute girls wearing them. That's all!
Do you understand?
No, I don't.
But, even if I wanted to go, the entrance fee would be staggering.
That said, otaku is a unique subculture, isn't it?
So wouldn't it be better for us to ask an expert?
Just kidding!
From the start I've tried to stay out of this conversation.
Why do you assume that I, otaku or not, have experience in this matter?
Am I wrong?
You're biased!
If you think we are all born to only know how to say "moé" than you are definitely wrong!
Really... People think this because of the media's one sided view.
Moé?
I've never heard of people who only know how to say moé.
The sound made, sounds the least bit like that.
These kind of people, let's take otakus for example, are idiots.
And otakus will never call others an otaku.
Hey, even if I go to the maid café there's no problem, right?
That is not a problem at all.
Normally they have quite a lot of female customers, too.
Apart from the otakus, a lot of others visit out of curiosity.
I see!
Then, we go on Sunday.
Everybody must remember to free up some time.
Everybody's going?
I'm really relieved that Nagi's home today.
Obviously! You guys better show up!
I really don't want her to be influenced by this weird stuff.
Because she'll immediately imitate it.
Here they are.
Hello!
Mornin'.
Say Akiba, why must we meet here?
Because it's close to the station.
Is everybody here now?
Mikuriya, why didn't you bring Nagi here?
You expected me to bring her?
Forget it.
So, Akiba, please explain what we're about to see.
That's why we brought you here, after all.
You're just using me...
But, you guys must know a little bit, right?
Because you two are bad girls.
Women?
Even though it's true we are girls...
They misunderstood?
Wait. What was that just now? Some technical term?
Tell me the meaning!
No. I messed up.
C'mon, Akiba!
Please just stay as you are now.
Takako's mood has changed...
Tell me!
Welcome back, Masters!
Welcome to the Maidia Maid Café!
Those aren't exactly maid outfits... are they?
This is...
This is Pure Heart cosplay.
Seems like a tie-up event with the sponsor.
Tie-up?
The sponsors, usually game companies, will hold such events to advertise for games.
We're quite lucky, then.
Lucky?! I came here for the maid outfits, and...
Right this way, please.
But I can deal with it.
What a radiant smile!
Let me bring you to your seats.
Coming!
This is my first time seeing cosplay.
Daitetsu?
H-Hey, wait up, guys!
Takako, please calm down!
Say, this game, does it have any aerial combat gameplay?
Nope. It's just a modern visual novel.
Liar! What kind of game has this kind of clothing in it?
It's useless asking me. Please calm down!
I'll take your order once you've decided.
I'll have an iced coffee.
Me too.
Let's see... an apple cinnamon tea will do.
Daitetsu, why are you so quiet?
It's embarrassing.
Just, Just now, did you see her?!
What's wrong?
Who?
I was looking at the menu, so...
A look-a-like?
No, it can't be.
T-This is bad!
Why did they come here?!
Aoba, please help outside.
OK!
W-Why?
Why is Jin here?
The rest of the Art Club is here, too.
Even though my friend suddenly fell sick, I shouldn't have stood in for her!
If they ever saw me dressed up like this...
They're here.
Indeed, they are.
And to make it worse, Nagi works here too...
It was stupid to assume that people you know wouldn't come to these places.
This is bad.
Why would Jin and everyone else come here?
I sneaked out to work here because I knew he would object.
If I'm found out, I'll have a lot to explain back home...
He might even kick me out.
What are you doing? Don't make our customers wait!
Chop, chop! They're expecting us!
Hurry and take their orders!
There she is!
Alright!
Cool!
The detail's awesome!
No matter how I look at it, she really looks like Lady Azurite!
This hair style is stunning!
This is my first time seeing such original authentic cosplay!
Only pretty girls are allowed to cosplay!
The girl by her side isn't bad, either.
Her hair style looks like Maron,
and the feeling she gives is ahh!
Listen to how she stutters when she serves her customers!
Super Duper Very Good!
I'm so happy to be a Pure Heart fan!
It really is Nagi!
And why is Tsugumi here too?
Why? What's their motive? Are they planning something?
Takako! Quick, look who it is...
E m p t y
What the...
Already?!
The quality's stunning. I almost missed it.
It's too glorious. I almost missed it.
Why didn't you jump to the "found-out-she's-my-friend-therefore-I'm-shocked" stage first?
That aside, what's up with the surprise?
Mikuriya! Do you still intend to surprise us?
I-I didn't even know about this!
Sorry for making you wait!
This is your iced coffees and apple cinnamon teas.
Tsugumi, you're so cute!
Moé!
Please don't do that.
I-It's not like I'm working here because I like it or anything,
it's just my friend got sick and I had to help her out.
A tsundere?
You're having it tough.
Say, why's Nagi here too?
The same reason as you?
H-How would I know?! I was surprised myself!
I... I see.
Lady Azurite, come here please!
Can we take a picture?
We would like to order something.
Me too!
W-What?
Job?
How unscrupulous!
But it is indeed a good idea.
It is a simple way to capture the hearts of fans.
I won't let you do as you wish.
And I believe, given the same circumstances, I can definitely capture the hearts of more fans!
Why is that so?
Because a maid costume suits me better than you!
Just wait and see!
Witness how I'll hinder your work and cause your appeal to drop.
Just wait for me, big sister!
Acheron
Sorry for making you wait!
One order of omelet rice.
Pardon me, but I would like to ask which is your favorite character in Pure Heart?
I guess Lady Azurite is the best!
Rich people who are clumsy are really cute!
That's right!
When she's working she's exceptionally focused.
Three glasses of water with ice, right?
Seeing her like this, it's true.
Here comes the three glasses of...
Seems like that is exactly what's happening.
I'm so sorry! That was silly of me!
She's doing well as a clumsy character, too.
I'm sorry for the mess!
Are you hurt?
Hey, hurry up and take it!
Get closer!
Please look over here.
Nagi!
Nagi, over here!
Don't just stay at other's tables.
You should give your friends some service too.
Come, let Mikuriya have a good look at you.
Here, here!
Jin...
T-This is...
I can't take it any more. If she's this close I...
I-I'm unable to think straight...
Jin?
D-Don't come closer.
J-Jin, are you angry?
I'm only just...
Didn't I just tell you to not come closer?!
Oh my...
Weren't you just gawking at her?
Whats going on with them...?
I knew it, you're angry because I came out to work by myself.
B-But I'm also doing this for you, too!
It's NOT THAT!
It's not that...
It's just...
You look too cute... too provocative...
I'm unable to look at you without indecent thoughts, that's why I asked you not to come close...
Get a clue, IDIOT!
Humiliating yourself at a maid café is hard to do!
You showed another side of yourself, too pure-pure boy!
Pharmacy
There's no other way,
no other way...
But Mikuriya's really a criminal...
Acting like that in front of Tsugumi...
Akiba.
Oh, yeah.
Master, please enjoy.
Thank you.
Jin!
What are you doing here?
What about work?
I've already finished for today.
I wanted to catch up with you, so I ran.
I see.
Listen to me.
I was thinking that I would earn my own money to spend,
since I've been splurging recently.
And... I was hoping to capture the hearts of fans outside of school.
So that's it.
H-Hiding this from you, it's my fault, but...
If you don't want me to do it anymore, I'll stop.
I'm not really angry.
But...
Seeing you take pictures with others is annoying.
That's just it.
Then I'll quit.
Why?
I thought you enjoyed working there.
But,
since you don't like it, I'll quit.
Huh? She resigned?
Yes, that's right.
It's nice that you'll replace her.
What a pity!
She used to be the most popular girl here.
W-Wait a minute!
I just waived a television casting for this job!
Even if you say that, it's not my problem.
It's pointless here without big sister.
I'm quitting too!
What did you just say?!
I won't allow you to quit!
As long as there's a celebrity like you around,
NO!
our shop will do fabulously!
Manager, why did your shirt tear off?!
Why is your grip so strong?! Let go of me!

Ex: That girl is Moé because she wears glasses. Tsundere: Japanese character archetype (usually on female) that describes a conceited, spikey, combative personality that later on turns to being modest and loving. It can also describe a personality that is good-willed, but its attitude and actions often contradict its nature. Cosplay: Done mostly in Japan, usually it's when you dress up as your favorite anime/manga character. Eroge/Erotic Game/Dating Sim: Usually played as a male lead character. You attempt to win over a girl's love and then get in her... under garments. Visual Novel: A type of game where the gameplay is clicking but you have to make choices to advance in the story and depending on those choices the story will change accordingly. Fujoshi: How a male otaku will refer to a female otaku who likes Yaio/boys love. Acheron: In mythology. A river in Hades over which Charon ferried the souls of the dead.
