Volume 1 Chapter 12 Well, I Managed To Get Everything I Needed, And I Hope Everyone Had Fun On The Day
Summary of the previous chapter: Shopping with a girl takes a super long time.
So, while shopping for casual clothes with Yayoi-chan, six hours passed in the blink of an eye.
I never thought it would take this long, with all the moving from shop to shop, browsing, and trying on clothes.
Well, when women are deciding what to buy, their brains release the "pleasure hormone" dopamine, and after they finally make a decision and buy something, their brains are filled with the "happiness hormone" serotonin.
So, it's possible to become addicted to shopping.
However, this time, it wasn't Yayoi-chan's shopping, but rather me dragging her along with my shopping for a long time, so I feel a little sorry.
"Sorry, Yayoi-chan. You spent all day shopping today trying to choose clothes that would suit me, and it didn't go well."
I said that with a sorry expression, and Yayoi-chan replied with a smile.
"Oh no, I actually had a lot of fun shopping, so it's okay."
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'm glad."
"Actually, I'll continue to help you organize your wardrobe so that clothes can be replaced quickly, even from now on."
"Really? That's honestly appreciated. Well, I'll make sure to research the brands for next time."
When I said that again with an apologetic tone, Yayoi-chan smiled and replied.
"That's true, you really need to study more. Doing some research beforehand is important. And occasionally, please accompany me on my shopping trips too."
"You're absolutely right. Yeah, I should show my gratitude as well."
After we finished sharing a thirteen ice cream, we left the table, carrying the paper bag with the clothes we bought, and headed home by bus and train.
On the way back, I said goodbye to Yayoi-chan on the train.
"Well then, Yayoi-chan. If anything happens, I'll contact you."
"Yeah, if anything happens on my end, I'll contact you too."
We waved goodbye and I got off the train, heading home.
"Mom, I'm home!"
"Oh my, it took quite a while."
"Yeah, it's tough for someone like me, an average-looking guy, to choose clothes that don't look lame."
"That's true. But I wanted to buy you different clothes that suit you, if possible. You always insist on wearing the same clothes."
"Oh, Mom, please don't bring up my embarrassing past."
"Alright, alright. Dinner is ready, so eat and then take a bath."
"Okay."
After having dinner and taking a bath, I sat at my study desk and opened the laptop that was placed on it, turning it on.
When researching what you need to bring when going around TDL (Tokyo Destiny Land), it should be fine to check the weather forecast for the day after tomorrow and buy the necessary items at a 100-yen store.
First, TDL is said to have a tendency to shorten the battery life of smartphones, so bring a mobile battery and charging cable.
Also, it's a good idea to download the official app for TDR (Tokyo Destiny Resort) now. With this, you can check attraction wait times and obtain fast passes.
In addition to that, it seems like having a handy-sized guidebook would be helpful.
I'll buy that tomorrow.
I can take photos with my smartphone, but if I'm concerned about battery life and photo quality, it seems like it's better to have a compact digital camera.
So, I went out of the room and asked my mom.
"Mom, do we have a compact digital camera?"
"Yeah, we do. Is it for the field trip the day after tomorrow?"
"Yes. By the way, it's not a field trip, it's an off-campus orientation."
My mom handed me a compact digital camera from somewhere.
I opened it up to check, and the battery and SD card were properly inserted.
"Thank you, Mom."
"I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of photos you'll take with that camera."
I took a step back from my mom's pressure with a smile on her face.
"Oh, um, it would be better if you don't expect too much from me, Mom."
"It's okay, if that happens, you can ask a girl to take good photos for you."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
I also need a coin purse and cash in my wallet.
I'll make a note of that and buy it tomorrow.
I usually have various things like my cash card in my regular wallet, but it would be the worst if I lost it.
If you want to get autographs from characters, you'll need an autograph book and a pen.
But well, it seems like they sell things that look like they're meant for the park, so I'll buy them inside.
Next is a folding umbrella that can also be used as a parasol.
The sun can be strong, and the weather can suddenly change, so it's not guaranteed.
Next is sunscreen.
This is also a measure for when the sun is strong.
Handkerchiefs, antiperspirants, sweat wipes, pocket tissues, wet wipes, disposable heat packs, playing cards, etc.
Well, I'll buy these things tomorrow too.
A tote bag might be more convenient and easier to take out than a backpack for carrying these items.
I don't plan on waiting for parades or shows, so I might not need a leisure sheet.
Well, that's about it.
After that, I went to sleep with the notes and on Sunday, I bought the necessary items at the 100 yen shop and bookstore.
And then Monday came.
Saikachi-san and Shinonome-san were wearing the tights I proposed on social media.
"Good morning, Saikachi-san, Shinonome-san. You look cute in tights. It gives off a mature vibe."
"Oh, hehe, really? Wearing tights is warm and nice, indeed."
Saikachi-san responds and Shinonome-san agrees.
"Fashion requires some sacrifices, though."
"Well, it's different from during class."
"True."
While traveling on the bus, we were playing cards that I bought, but I couldn't climb up from being the poorest player in Daihōnmin (a Japanese card game).
"If only I could start a revolution..."
As I was saying that, Shinonome-san won the game.
"Hehe, as long as I, the Daihōnmin, am here, I won't let you start a revolution! Ta-da! I won!"
"Oh no!"
And so, good cards are taken by Shinonome-san, and I'm repeatedly stuck with bad ones.
"Oh well, I couldn't win even once in the end."
To entertain everyone, I thought about losing to some extent, but I never thought I couldn't escape from being a big loser.
When doing such a thing, the music that is often heard on TV and so on when the bus arrives at the parking lot can't help but raise my tension.
When we pass through the entrance, the first thing is the shopping area, the World Bazaar Zone.
"If we get a FastPass, should we start shopping first?"
Saikachi-san nodded in agreement with my suggestion.
"Yes, buying a headband or something first is a classic choice, right?"
And Shinonome-san also nodded.
"That's right."
After that, Saikachi-san chose a Minnie headband, and Shinonome-san chose a Daisy Duck headband.
"What about Hata-kun?"
Saikachi-san asked me, and I answered.
"I'll go with Mickey. I think it's safe."
"That might be a good idea."
And then, Shinonome-san said to Hirose-kun,
"Hiro-pon, wouldn't Boo-san be good?"
"Well, that's also popular, so maybe it's good."
With that, the headband was decided.
"Please give me this too."
I bought two autograph books and left the store with everyone.
Then I took out a digital camera and asked Shinonome-san,
"I might not be good at taking pictures, so could you take a good picture of me like Bael."
When I said that, Shinonome-san took the digital camera.
"Okay, leave that kind of thing to me."
And I said to everyone,
"It seems that the counterclockwise direction is generally less crowded, so let's start with the pirates of the Caribbean."
Everyone nodded at my suggestion, so we headed to the pirates of the Caribbean first.
On the way, we met the characters Miggie and Minnie.
So, I took out the autograph book and pen and made a request.
"Excuse me."
"Could you please sign this?"
Miggie and Minnie signed the two books I handed them, so I first handed them to Saikachi-san.
"Here you go, Saikachi-san."
Saikachi-san blinked but accepted them.
"Oh, can I have this autograph book?"
"Yeah, judging from the attractions you chose, Saikachi-san seems to like greetings."
"Oh, thank you so much for doing this for me."
"Oh, it's nothing."
And then Shinonome-san asked.
"Is the other one...?"
"If Shinonome-san wants it, I'll give it to you. If you're not interested in greetings, I'll take it home to my mother."
"Of course, I want it. Hata-pippi is really perceptive, huh?"
Shinonome-san, impressed, said, and Saikachi-san nodded in agreement.
"I was only thinking about which hair accessory to choose, but Hata-kun, you're really amazing."
"It's not that big of a deal."
When I said that, Hirose-kun also spoke up.
"No, it's really amazing, isn't it?"
"Do you think so? If making the people we hang out with feel good improves our mood, then it's worth making an effort for that."
"Where on earth does Hata-kun come from?"
"Well, I'm definitely not from the world of light novels or Harlequin novels, that's for sure."
In those worlds, just being handsome is enough to be popular, but reality isn't that easy.
To avoid repeating the 'past' big mistake, I thought about various things, but I'm glad the girls seemed happy.
After enjoying the attractions, I bought some churros because I was a little hungry.
Then, as I was about to eat the churros, Shinonome-san said,
"That looks delicious. Can I have a bite too?"
"Well, alright. Here you go."
I offered the churros to Shinonome-san.
"Yay"
I couldn't stand Shinonome-san eating it all, so I quickly broke off a piece with my hand to save some for myself.
But Shinonome-san exclaimed,
"Oh, my churros!"
"Hey, this is mine."
"But your things are mine, and my things are mine."
"Are you Giant (Doraemon)?"
While we were having this exchange, Saikachi-san timidly approached and said,
"Um, I also want to have a bite."
It seemed unusual for Nishiumie-san to say something like that.
Well, this is a magical kingdom, so maybe she was under a spell.
"Ah, yes, sure, okay."
As I offered the churros to Saikachi-san, she seemed a little surprised at first, but then she made up her mind and put the churros in her mouth, so I handed her another churros.
"Do you want some, Hirose-kun? Churros."
When I said that, Hirose-kun smiled wryly and said,
"N-no, I'll pass."
"Really? Then I guess I can eat the rest."
"By the way, Hata-kun, you're pretty good at that."
"Am I?"
"It's too difficult for me."
"Is it?"
When the designated time for the FastPass arrived, we headed to our desired attractions, starting with the Splash Coaster.
"Be careful with this one, if you duck your head when the water splashes, you won't get wet."
When I said that, Saikachi-san seemed impressed and said,
"Is that so?"
"Well, it's just something I heard, so I'm not sure if it's true."
After that, in terms of the result, it was a little wet, but I think the damage was minimal.
"If it's just this much, a face towel should be enough. Here, Saikachi-san, use this."
I took out a face towel from my tote bag and handed it to Saikachi-san.
"Ah, thank you very much."
Then I also handed one to Shinonome-san.
"Yes, Shinonome-san too."
"Oh, as expected, Hata-pippi is considerate."
"I think if you choose the attraction yourself, it's better to prepare things like this yourself."
Hirose-kun said admiringly.
"I see... I came with a backpack, but if you have a bag like that, you can easily take out a towel from inside."
"Yeah, that's right. Carrying a tote bag is more convenient, I think."
I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and lightly wiped my face.
On the way, we have to go through the haunted house, and the last stop is Miggy's house, but it doesn't have a FastPass, so we have to wait in line in order, and the wait time is a bit long.
"Well, since this is the last one, let's eat popcorn and wait in line leisurely."
When I said that, Saikachi-san seemed happy and said,
"That sounds good. Taking our time to wait can be enjoyable."
While we were talking like that, a strong and cold wind blew.
Saikachi-san, who is upwind, seems colder than me.
"Saikachi-san, should we change places? The other side is upwind, so it must be colder."
"Oh, um, yes, thank you."
Well, even if we switch places, I'm not sure if I can shield Saikachi-san from the wind, but as long as there is the fact that I took consideration, it won't make me feel bad.
"Oh, then, Shinonome-san, should we also switch positions?"
Hirose-kun said that, and Shinonome-san smiled and replied teasingly,
"Oh, Hiro-pon, are you going to be an apprentice to Hata-pippi?"
"Eh, Yeah."
Well, it's a good idea to actively incorporate things that seem to have positive effects when others are doing them, too.
That's how it went, and without any particular trouble, we all had a great time during the off-campus orientation.
