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

Don't Be Shame Like That!

“Gift? From the chairman?”

Rena who is in charge of disposing of unused goods, coincidentally met with her chairman while on the way to the dump. Although the chairman of OSIS himself has been very busy, he still took the time to give “sangat” to its members who have worked hard. Even upon meeting her, Rena could see a lot of dust and some sweat clinging to the shirt and skin of the OSIS chairman.

“Yes. The chairman said we've worked hard to tidy up some of the items in the warehouse. Since only a few people are working on it, the chairman is worried that we are exhausted. At least, that's what the chairman said when I met him earlier.”

Because of the lack of HR in OSIS, they have to try to double than usual, especially HR from men. Although it is possible to enlist the help of teachers, OSIS in these schools are notoriously independent with their work. So Eza sense of maintaining their image that way makes them look better.

Eza does not want to make negative reviews, if continued, maybe he will always think negatively about OSIS and think that they have their own organizational motto. Or there are also rules about how teachers can interfere in their activities. So he prefers to finish his mind by being happy with the gifts given to the girls.

“Good for you guys, right? Effort paid well.”

Eza who stood up to hear was pleased as well as satisfied within him. The girls nearby deserved what they made.

Being a one-semester OSIS with few members, Eza thought it was no easy feat. Although he has never felt it straight away, at least he thinks OSIS will be very different to a club that will be fine with few people, after all the club will also be dissolved if it has few people.

Hm? Isn't that the same as I said “why OSIS doesn't just disperse” indirectly?

While Eza was trying to get rid of the negative thoughts that almost dominated him, Rena smiled at Eza.

“You will also get the part, Eza.”

“Eh, me? Doesn't it matter?”

“I think? Because the OSIS chairman also told me.”

“Did the head of OSIS know I was helping you?”

“Yes, he knows it. I suggested it anyway.”

Eza just stared silently at Rena and said in her heart, “Yeah, as I expected.”

“But before we can receive the prize. The chairman wants to ask for help. This time he wants to ask us to clean up the equipment warehouse. Are you still capable?”

“Iya. Since I am also part of OSIS, I should have been working on part of OSIS.”

“Yah ... If you guys really lack people then I can help.”

“Thank you, Eza! Let's do our best, Iroha!”

“Ya.” They both answered simultaneously.

“Baiklah ... Then, let's get to the building.”

The three of them then walked down the aisle to another warehouse which was quite a distance away from their first storage building. Arriving there, Rena who was holding the key began to open the door of the warehouse and widen it. After being wide open, it looks like the storage room of equipment that is not neatly arranged.

Starting with Rena, they go inside and look around. After which, they turned their gazes towards the shelf that stored the equipment. While Eza stared with his lazy eye, Rena immediately gave the paper containing the list of OSIS tools to everyone.

“Then, Eza. Can you start there?”

“Siap~”

While answering, Eza went straight to the shelf designated by Rena.

So these are all OSIS equipment? Folding table and chairs ... Let's see what I have to do. Checking quantity and also quality ... The task of OSIS is troublesome.

“I'm curious. Does OSIS do this kind of work?”

“Hmm ... After being described like that it feels awesome. In that case, Iroha,” said Eza while looking towards Yuuki “Are you also part of OSIS?” at Junior High School

Yuuki who was crouching was doing her job on the other side of the room, looked briefly at Eza when her name was called and then resumed her work again.

“You mean when I was in Japan?”

“Is your SMP not in Japan?”

Yuuki's hand stopped for a while, but he moved it again, “I'm still there at Junior High ... Yes, I also had time to be part of OSIS while there.”

“Heeh ... How is OSIS there? What are you doing the same?”

“What are you asking this for? Is there something you want to talk about?”

Yuuki's tone sounded quite annoyed, yet not angry either. Hearing that Eza again continued.

“Nothing special. Just curious if there is a difference between the two.”

Yuuki did not answer her directly, probably not wanting to say anything. So Eza remained silent until Yuuki spoke again.

“What I did in OSIS when I was Junior High in Japan is not much different from here. If it exists then things like rules or also culture. Overall, not too different.”

“So so ..”

Eza answered him in a casual tone. But in his heart he screamed.

What's up!? So OSIS over there is as boring as OSIS over here!? Damn you reality! I'll never see OSIS overpower and rule an entire school like the one in the anime!

Eza cursed as much as he could in his heart after learning the boring facts of the world he occupied. Holding the sadness in his heart, he returned to his work.

“I saw some things like tripods and other stuff. Does it also belong to OSIS?”

“Yes. Although the photography club also has them, when we need their help, at least we have the equipment to help them.”

“Heeh~”

While feeling amazed, Eza again checked the number exactly as it was on the list, getting rid of the obsolete ones, and putting it according to the type of each object.

“Impressive once. The right choice brought you here, you are very good at it.”

“Makasih~”

Given immediate praise from Rena, Eza felt her stamina was starting to deteriorate. She was also somehow being stared at by Yuuki from behind her back.

Ah ... Arm, pain.

Eza's arms and hips begin to ache when he repeatedly has to do the work of moving things. He had to cover himself in his weakened physical pretense.

As he became a pure otaku a few years ago and rarely exercised, his condition worsened. If he had at least done some exercise, his condition might not have been as bad as it is now.

Berata~ beraaat~ Ah ... I can no longer afford it. I should have just refused earlier ... If you know this is very heavy and reject it, now I am on a soft mattress now~

While making complaints in her small heart, Eza tried to turn her negative thoughts into energy to work faster. In the back, Yuuki called out his name.

“... Errs. Eza, can you help us here for a minute?”
