After
closing the bar, I came back to the locker room.
The
result of the popularity contest is that I'm at the bottom again today.
I knew
it wasn't something I could simply improve, but it was more difficult than I
expected.
Still,
I didn't offend anyone today, and even though it was only two votes, a customer
voted for me.
Such a
small thing made me inexplicably happy.
It made
me want to work even harder tomorrow.
Although
I am still impatient to get the first place as soon as possible, and I am still
angry at this unreasonable situation.
Somehow,
I felt as if I had started to look forward.
I
can't thank you enough to Mako-san.
Not
only did she teach me how to entertain customers, but also during my work, she
quickly followed up on my conversations when it started to go wrong, and
carefully taught me how to prepare drinks.
When I
thanked her, she said.
「It's natural,
we're friends」
And
smiled.
I was
surprised. Apparently, that's what friends are supposed to do.
Today's
girls are the same as yesterday.
There
are thirty-one cast members in total, and they work in shifts, but today's cast
member happened to be the same as yesterday.
Everyone
is changing in the locker room in the morning, with the air somewhat unsettled.
I
myself have nothing to change, but I am forbidden to speak out about my problem
in the presence of other people, so I sit on a pipe chair in a daze, doing
nothing, waiting for the other girls to finish changing.
The
chirping and joyful behaviour of the girls was not much different from that of
my classmates at school.
「Hey,
what's wrong, Taka-chi? Aren't you going to change your clothes?」
「Y-yeah,
after a short break...」
The
person who approached me was Rena-san, who was the top vote winner yesterday
and today.
When I
talked to her, she told me that she is a student of the law department of a
prestigious university that I want to attend. I was surprised to hear that she
wants to be a judge in the future.
When I
asked her why she was doing this part-time job, she said.
「You
know, I've been given a chance to go to university, and I can't bother my
parents. There are a lot of people here, and I think it will be a good way to
get a good work experience」
Will
the Japanese court system be okay?
If the
judge decides the case on a whim, it's not good.
To my
eyes, she doesn't look particularly pretty or cute, but for some reason, there
are many regulars who come to see her.
When I
smiled at her, she came up to me in her underwear and stared at my face.
「W-what
is it...?」
She
smiles and opens her mouth, wondering if I have said something to offend her.
「What a
waste! Even though, you look so cute! Your skin is so tanned and your hair so
colored, but you've got it wrong... After all, the more flashy you are, the
more your face looks bland without makeup, and the less impressive you look」
「B-bland?」
Then,
the other two girls and Mako-san came to peek at me as if they were surrounding
me.
「Oh,
now that you mention it」
「I see.
There was something strange about it」
「Alright,
Rena-chan will teach you some tips on makeup」
「E-eh?
Eh?」
While
I was confused, they took out makeup tools from their bags and started applying
makeup to my face.

「The
key to gal makeup is the eyes, you know. If you have such a dark skin tone, you
need to apply a lot of makeup or it will be blurry. Use eye-pouch, eyeliner to
make your eyes appear double... Although I'd like to get false eyelashes」
「Oh, I
have a new one, I bought it before I came, I'll give it to you~」
「Oh,
that's nice! The latest trend is to make the eyes droop a little, to make them
look sweet. It's better to match the eyebrows to the hair color as much as
possible, but for now, I'll do yours today」
「Oh,
um...」
「You
have beautiful skin, Taka-chi. If I were you, I'd start from the foundation and
add more layers, but it looks natural enough」
I
don't know what to do. But... The girls are having a good time. I didn't want
to interfere by rejecting them.
Eventually...
「Yes,
it's perfect ☆」
Rena-san
nodded, and the remaining three girls clapped their hands in excitement, saying
“Wow!”.
「Okay… Come
here, Taka-chi!」
As she
said this, Mako-san turned the mirror toward me.
There
was a gal in the mirror. She looked like a foreigner with well-defined eyes and
nose... And she's pretty in her own way.
「You're
not a bad looking girl. You'd be so cute if you got it right」
「It's
not good, I'm already in love」
「Hey,
hey, you're right, Rena-chan」
「Well,
I have no idea what you think, I’m not an esper, you know」
With
that, the girls start laughing.
「Taka-chi,
let's do your makeup properly tomorrow. Then the popularity contest will go up
for sure」
Why do
they do such a thing as sending salt to the enemy?
Is it
that they don't care if I make a little effort?
「If you
don't know how to do your makeup, you can always ask. Rena working five shifts
a week this month」
「T-thank
you...」
When I
told her that, Rena-san smiled and spoke.
「That's what friends do. You smell
like water, you know[1]」
「Only for
the girls' bar, of course」
Mako-san
made a comment, and the girls all laughed again.
I was
surprised. Apparently, they are my friends, too.
Apparently,
the concept of friends here is different from the one I know... It's
complicated.
Eventually,
after a lot of noise, the girls finish changing and leave the locker room.
「See
you later! Taka-chi! See you tomorrow!」
The
locker room fell silent as Mako-san left at the end.
What
is it? I can't sort out my feelings.
I'm
not in a bad mood, but ....
With
such marbled feelings, I opened the commuter door and went back to my room.
As I
ate my breakfast.
All
that was left was to take a shower and go to sleep....
By the
way, is there any make-up remover in the bathroom?
If
not, I'll have to ask cockroach maid to remove my makeup.
While
thinking about this, I looked at the table, where I saw a portable DVD player
and some DVDs on it.
...I
wonder what it is. It's not even Blu-ray nowadays, which is subtly petty.
Yesterday
evening, before I went to work, I asked cockroach maid to prepare something
that could be used as a reference, but apparently she prepared some video
materials for me.
It
seemed to me that if I wanted to learn about gal and entertain a customer, a
video would make more sense than a book.
But...
「W-w-w-what...
what the hell is this!?」
I
shouted out when I saw the pile of DVDs.
『Black
Gal Pick-up – Premium Edition』
『Black
Gal Tie Up! My friends' friends are all bitches』
『Manko
Capac, Sex Black』
『Lewd
black gal sister! Fascinating cum squeezer』
『Slippery
black gal gets oiled! Ah ☆ Please extract my oil field!』
『The
black gal I picked up on the beach won't let me leave』
『Black
Gal Bitch Semen Festival. I'll be there until morning』
『A DVD
to help you prepare for the second level salesman exam』
It was
AV. It was so much AV that there was no way I could mistake it.
No...
The last one was not an AV, but I felt as if cockroach maid were telling me, “It's
exactly what you want, Takata-sama”, and that made me absurdly angry.
