Volume 2 Chapter 35 It's Been Some Time Since I Last Recorded A Video
Today's activities in the home economics club have ended safely.
"When it comes to sewing, getting the needle, upper thread, and lower thread set up is trickier than actually sewing. But if you follow the instructions in the manual, you can do it right."
I said that, and Saikachi-san laughed.
"Even if I read the manual, I don't understand a thing."
I laughed back and replied,
"Well, sometimes the manual separates the part names from the setup instructions, which can be confusing if you're not used to it."
Then Osaragi-san agreed.
"That's true. Even if you follow the manual, some people struggle with the setup. It seems like men are better at that."
I nodded in agreement.
"It varies from person to person."
And Utashiro-san suggested,
"So, for next time, should we try making a tote bag or shorts with an elastic waistband? If Hata-kun wants to make his own cosplay costume, it might be better to gradually increase the difficulty level with something similar."
I happily nodded when I heard those words.
"Well, it's important to gradually increase the difficulty of the costumes we make in order to be able to sew them, right?"
With a lively and cheerful atmosphere like that, the club activities safely came to an end.
The next day, on Tuesday, it was finally time for the long-awaited video shoot with Nakagaito.
I sent Nakagaito a message on social media.
[We'll be shooting again after school tomorrow, is that okay with you?]
As soon as I sent the message, I received an immediate response.
[Of course, I'm fine with it!]
Since Nakagaito was also okay with it, I felt relieved.
So, the next morning.
I went to Nakagaito's seat.
Huh?
Is she wearing lighter makeup today?
"Good morning, it's been a while since we did a video shoot, but you seem to be doing well. You're wearing makeup today, and it looks good on you."
When I said that, Nakagaito happily replied,
"Of course, I've been really looking forward to it. So, what are we going to talk about today?"
"Yeah, why not talk about the sports festival since we're at it?"
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea."
As Nakagaito and I talking, Kokonoe-san spoke from the side.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about? You mentioned a supootsu festival, right?"
"Oh, yeah. Today, we're going to do video recording after a long time, so we were discussing that."
When I said that, Kokonoe-san thought for a moment and then said,
"Ah, so you were going to shooooto a video about the supootsu festival."
I nodded to Kokonoe-san and said,
"Yeah, that's right."
Then Kokonoe-san said with a carefree smile,
"Den I want to join too."
"Oh, okay, it's about the sports festival, so it might be just right. My handlename is Kenji, and Nakagaito is calling himself Otome, but what about you, Kokonoe-san?"
When I said that, Kokonoe-san tilted her head.
"What's a handoru?"
"Oh, a handle is like a username. It's a temporary name used when you're active on the internet. You can think of it like a pen name or a radio name. If you can't think of anything, how about using 'Lottie'?"
When I said that, Kokonoe-san nodded happily.
"Ah, yes, that's okay. Obaar there, they used to call me by a different neemu."
Sometimes Charlotte's name was Shirley and sometimes Lottie, but it seems like they just called her that normally.
"Well, during the filming, when needed, we call you, Lottie. So, you can call me Kenji, and you can call Nakagaito, Otome."
"Yes, I understand, desu."
And watching our interaction, Nakagaito seemed a bit sad.
"Why that expression? What's wrong?"
"Well, I thought we could have a filming session together after a long time, just the two of us."
"Ugh, well, I can understand what you're trying to say. But let's also get along with Kokonoe-san. It must be difficult to join a group of people in the middle of the term and being new."
Nakagaito sighed and said,
"I understand. It's difficult to fit in with a group, especially during awkward times."
When Nakagaito said that, Kokonoe-san apologized, looking sorry.
"Apologies, but I'm happi."
After school, we started filming in the usual home economics room.
"Alright, let's begin. Now, Kenji, the person who has never dated."
"Together with Otome, who has never dated too."
""Introducing the rookie, Lottie.""
"Welcome to the GudaGuda high school debut channel. This time, we're talking about the sports festival."
Then Nakagaito says,
"Well, our school's sports festival is already finished."
I smile wryly and say,
"Well, that's true. But it's a traditional event in junior high and high school, and there might be people who are going to experience it, so let's discuss high school debuts. In reality, you can make friends through the sports festival too. So, if you participate in the sports festival, join a team that suits your strengths and get along with them as much as possible. That's my conclusion."
Then Kokonoe-san said,
"Yes, it's better to participate in a supooto you're good at. That way, you can shine. I won the girls' doubles in tenisu."
I nodded in agreement.
"Lottie was really good. She's half Japanese, half American, so no wonder her speed and strength were on another level. Our school is known for artsy clubs like music and theater, not so much for sports."
Then, Nakagaito explained.
"Still, even though we tried our best, those third-year students were just too good."
I agreed, and said.
"Can't blame them, though. They've been playing volleyball for two years straight. We couldn't even serve or receive properly at first."
When I said that, Nakagaito said further.
"I thought I could handle it since I played a bit in junior high during lunch breaks.
"But having someone like Otome to practice with really helped."
Nakagaito chuckled in response.
"Well, it's not perfect, but you know..."
"I think that's why Lottie chose tennis so quickly, because she was good at it, right?"
When I said that, Kokonoe-san smiled and said,
"Yes, yes. I used to play lacrosse, which is similar to tenisu because you use a raketto to hit a ball."
"Well, yeah. That's true. So, that's it for now."
"Goodbye, everyone!"
"Bye-bye!"
And that's how we made a video talking about what happened during the sports festival.
This video has gotten over 700,000 views, and our channel has reached over 70,000 subscribers.

Thanks for starting the thread.
But hold on, this time there's a new member who's half-Japanese. And she's really pretty with a fantastic figure, right?

Is Kenji really still inexperienced? How does he convince such a beautiful girl to help with making videos?

Well, it's probably Kenji's smooth talking. In a different way than Shiipon, the girl seems a bit like a silly kid.

Indeed, her personalities are subtly different again. This time, we have a refreshing sports beauty, right?

She's said to have won the school sports competition. Kenji seems to have lost, serves him right.

But he was practicing together with Wakaba (T/N: Namiki-san), and it seems they got along well. Isn't that nice in its own way?

Yes, that's correct.
But do I think I'm the only one who thinks that there will still be more members?

I also think so.
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord. However, for some reason, the human-demon war has resumed and will take place in the MC's original world. The MC, unaware of this, meets a Saint from that world and asks them to join the war. But what does the MC say? They refuse. Is it because their love was rejected by the princess when they adventured together in the past or are they simply fed up? And are the MC will join later? You can find out by clicking on the following => [Link]
We also have a similar genre returned from isekai but has different MC's characteristic. The story is punishing someone who troll in SNS, someone who cheat and many more. You can find out in => [Link]
