The One Sitting Next To Me Is A Real Japanese! Volumes 1

Shopping Is Genjutsu

“ ….”

In the main courtyard of the shopping center, Eza put on a sour face while looking at a girl in front of him who was sitting lethargic.

Eza scratched the back of his head while thinking about what he should do when a girl, put on a guilty expression.

It seemed that he thought that he had already troubled his two friends, and he now did not know what to do.

At such a time, Eza who was looking towards the side tried to send a secret message using eye techniques, which were somehow understandable to the two of them.

Rena ... Can't you do something?

A strong gaze containing the message Eza conveyed to the recipient, Rena to give help change the atmosphere.

Rena who caught the SOS signal from Eza immediately answered it.

Eh~? Me again?

Rena's expression did not change, but if Eza looked deeper into her eyes, she could tell that her sister was complaining.

How else, like this only girls can do.

Yes deh~

The SOS message that Eza sent was successfully sent and answered with help that will come soon.

But even so, Rena who was standing near Yuuki actually felt awkward as well. Under such conditions, Rena timidly asked towards the listless looking Yuuki.

However, there was no response from him.

It seemed that Yuuki really already thought that he was troubling those two friends.

He shouldn't feel so guilty like this, should he?

What really happened before was that the three of them headed to the third floor, the first place Yuuki often visited while going to this shopping center. When I got there, it turned out that Yuuki's main subscription store was closed. Even from the many shops next door that lined up, only Yuuki's subscription store was closed.

Thinking positively, the three of them went back on their way to Yuuki's second subscription store, this time it was on the fifth floor. Surprisingly, only the store was closed again from many stores.

Still thinking it was just a coincidence, they then returned to the first floor, the main floor of the shopping mall they were visiting at the moment.

Yuuki said that if the last place they were going to visit was open, he had already confirmed it beforehand. But unfortunately again, after reaching the first floor and walking far enough to find the store in question, the store was also locked.

I don't know what bad luck is attached to Yuuki, but with all that Yuuki feels guilty for making Eza and Rena go around without direction.

“Iroha, you know you shouldn't feel guilty like that, right?”

Once again, Rena tried to restore the mood of Iroha as before.

Before long, Yuuki slowly raised his head and looked towards Eza as well as Rena with a guilty look, and wanted to apologize earnestly.

“ ... Forgive me.”

“We are both not angry, kok.”

“ ... What is it?”

In some ways.Eza who saw the state of Yuuki like that, was in stark contrast to his high self-confidence and proud of himself.

Even so, such a thing was something good, as now Rena could easily interact with Yuuki and restore their happy atmosphere.

“ ... Are you okay?”

“I think ... yes.”

Yuuki answered Eza's question softly, the voice of a person who was just recovering from his slump.

After spending a year in the same class, Eza realizes that Yuuki is an ordinary girl. Maybe the strained nature feels higher than he thinks.

“Already! If silence like this continues there will be no meaning!”

Rena actively began to change the atmosphere back to be cheerful as ever. Although the plan to go shopping alone with her brother failed miserably, she did not want to spend this one day with regret.

Therefore, at least Rena wants to carve a memory that will not be repeated with different people. Moreover, he had already thought of something interesting inside his head.

“Well! Let's go to another store. Here are so many stores that sell clothes, I think it can add to the list of your favorite places, right?”

“ ... You're right.”

Rena then looked around. When he looked around the place where they were resting, he saw one shop that was quite eye-catching.

If lucky, they can find clothes covered with thin materials. Clothing that will make them more comfortable.

“Oh, that place looks interesting! Let's try it there!”

When Rena asked Yuuki about it, Yuuki nodded like resignedly as there was no other choice.

The three of them then entered the clothing store together. The wind from the AC greeted them right at the entrance, followed by the smell of the clothing store there.

Inside the store, they can see many types of clothing. Not only thin clothes, they can also see a lot of thick clothes on display throughout the store. As far as their eyes can see, they can see a variety of clothes and it also began to make the atmosphere back to be fresher.

Rena and Yuuki seemed to really enjoy their time together by choosing clothes and sharing opinions. Eza who saw that could only smile.

Next time, if Rena goes back to acting weird, maybe I can take her shopping for clothes.

Yes, he just smiled thinking about how his brother's unpredictable behavior could be prevented.

While thinking about that brilliant idea inside his head, Eza regained his senses. She can then see Yuuki with her pouting face, and Rena standing next to her with a sly expression while calling out to Eza with her hands like a cat statue.

The idea seemed to just disappear. No use deh~

Holding back the unpleasant feelings that were in her heart, Eza approached Rena and Yuuki, each of whom was holding a dress in their hands.

"Do you need anything to call me?”

“Yes, of course. Why would I call you if there's nothing?”

“So I was really treated like a tool!?”

“Already, you also agreed to take on your role this time, right? What's more important is this time.”

Rena showed the clothes that were still attached to the hanger while smiling at Eza.

“Is there something wrong with his shirt?”

Hearing Eza's reply, Rena's expression instantly turned slightly sullen as she was dissatisfied with what Eza said.

“You really suck, yah~ If it continues like that, you might not get married, loh.”

Feeling slapped with the words of Rena that Eza thought made sense, Eza then immediately asked what Rena was wanting.

“So you want me to do something with that shirt?”

“Easy only. You have to give an assessment of whether the clothes we are trying to fit or not. Like that, simple isn't it?”

“Unfortunately you can not do that yourself?”

Rena took a heavy breath, then looked at Eza sharply.

“Listen carefully. A girl needs to look perfect in public, so we need an opinion. Because we're both going to try, so where might we be able to give an opinion when ourselves alone are confused with our own choices.”

“Wait, you said you did it both?”

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

“Doesn't that mean I have to give my judgment to Iroha?”

“Of course. Isn't that the obvious thing?”

Eza then looked towards Yuuki who was next door. There he was able to look back at the expression he used to see on Yuuki's face. A pouting face with eyebrows downwards signifies protest and dislike.

“Do you not want to? If not, it's okay. I'll do it myself then.”

“Well, not that I don't want to. But are you okay with that?”

“It's okay. Male opinion is also needed here.”

“Good. If it is like that then I will judge it for you guys.”

Hearing the whole thing agree, Rena patted both hands, “Alright, let's start. Please cooperate, Eza~”

While saying this, Rena and Yuuki leave Eza in the dressing room.

But before fully entering, Rena pulled out her head and looked towards Eza. Eza who noticed that was confused until Rena stuck out her tongue and went inside completely.

Just watch the kid!

Eza could only shout out the protest in his heart because he had caught up with his sister's plan.
