Obayashi, 16 years old.
I'm a restaurant worker.
I'm the guy who grates the fish, cooks the rice, and cuts the meat into bite-sized pieces. That's me.

Now~ let's bare some carrots~ .................. haha.

Yashiro-san!I'm not sure what's going on with him.
'...... I feel a tremendous negative aura.'
'It's a little ...... hard to get close to.
'Do any of you have any idea why Yashiro is like that?
'I can't think of anything in particular .......'
'I can't think of anything in particular either. ...... What about the sisters?
'I'm sorry, I don't have any......, but you seemed fine when you did a fundraiser for the church a few days ago. ......'
'I've been feeling a little weird since yesterday. I'm not sure if it's the usual Yashiro ...... or not ......'.

There are a lot of people gathering around and talking about something.
They seem to be trying to keep their voices down, but you can hear them.
If you're going to talk so that people can hear you, you might as well talk ......

'Oh, I wonder if anyone will compliment me on my ......'

............ flyer.

'Hey, you're saying something!
'Oh, so you want me to compliment you?
'No, wait!Whenever Yashiro says something like that, there's always something behind it!
'...... A careless remark is fatal.
'Why don't you just give him a compliment to try?
'Yes, I think so. I think so too.
'Both the sisters and the manager have too little sense of danger!That's my brother!That big brother is blatantly urging you to do something!It's definitely a trap!
It's a trap!

............ Look at that,
Not a single one of them even gave me a compliment.
I'm just a bad guy who doesn't have a single thing to praise. .................. Duh.

'You've started crying!I think you should have praised him.
'...... It's probably too late. It's time to move on to the next thing.
'Oh, big brother is getting so small!
'This is an emergency!We all need to work together to get out of this situation!
'But what are we supposed to do?
'Well, why don't we do something to cheer them up?
'For example, what kind of things?
'Yes. You could tell them a story about the Spirit God. ......'
''''That's a bit ......''''
'Yes, why is that?
'Sister. Um, ......I'm sorry to say this, but ......'
'What is it, Jeannette?'
'Yashiro-san doesn't ...... like that kind of story very much. ......'
'Isn't that right?I feel like I could listen to that for about five hours ......'
'It's too long ......, even I can't ......'

There's something about the way Bertina is being so politely isolated over there.
If you've ever been in a situation where you're not sure what you want to do, you might want to check out this website.
It's a good idea to have a good friend who can help you.
...... I like it, everyone seems to be having fun,............ anyway, I'm not ......

'Oh, ...... what's this feeling ......?
'...... Manager, are you too worried about Yashiro, is your chest hurting?'
'A little ...... just a little ............ cute, Yashiro.'
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

Magda and Loretta are gently placing Ginette in a chair.
I feel like the devout Alvistan is being excluded in order.

'I think the first thing we should do is to consider the factors that caused Yashiro to go crazy.
'Yes!
'Yes. Then, Regina.''
'Genetic!
'......Yes, can you think of something more like this, an external factor, limited to events that have happened in the last few days?'
'Yesterday at the store, you were flirting with that fox guy.
'What?
'What?
'Wait!Wait, wait!That's a misunderstanding!

Estella and Imelda are taking Umaro to the corner of the store.
They hanged him. I'm sorry.


Oh, Regina approached Estella and the others, smiling. I wonder if she's going to tell them something stupid again.

'Maybe you're 'waking up'?
'Let's see, ...... 'woke' to what?
'That's why!To fox people, and to the excessive friendship between men and men. ......'
'Regina. Yashiro doesn't have that kind of taste. ......'
'What are you talking about?
'Hey ......, do you think I'm a guy?
'Don't worry, I'm not just a guy, I think you're a beautiful boy.
'............ you're still here? ...... who thinks so?
'As expected of Estella. You're so handsome.'
'Shut up, Imelda!

In the meantime, Regina gave Umaro an earful, and Umaro gave her a disapproving look.
Oh, I've just been made to do something horrible.
Regina said, "Don't worry, don't worry," and brought him over to me.

Umaro comes to me alone, trudging.

'Oh, ...... that's right, ............ are you really going to say that?

The latter part of the line was uttered to Regina, who was watching from the rear.
Regina said, 'Yes, yes! Regina nods her head with a big gesture.
Letting out a huge sigh, Umaro turns to me.
Then, with a serious expression on his face, he said this to me.

'You don't look good with a depressed face, my honey. ............ If you're feeling down, I'll warm you up with my arms.

I don't know what it is, but it irritated me so much that I threw the carrot I was peeling at him with all my might.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. ...... d*mn, it didn't go through, did it?

'......Yashilo,......No,......I said I didn't want to,......but.... ...Regina's ............'.
'Gullllllll ......'
'Heee!

Umaro lets out a short scream and rolls away, clutching his midsection.

'Oh, it's going wild!

There's a groan on the other side.
But it doesn't matter to me.
I'm only good at peeling carrots. .................. What?Where's the carrot?
I can't believe I lost my ...... carrot. ...... I can't believe I lost that big thing. ............ I think I'm done. I can't even peel a carrot. ...... I can't even peel a carrot. ............

......I'll peel a new one............

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it. Oh, that ...... is just for now, just for now, can I go and squish it!
'Manager, calm down!
'...... Regina, sedate me.'
'Really, it's a bustling place .......'

It's lively. ...... Yes, it's lively.
Whether I'm depressed or gone,...... the world will still spin.

If you're not a fraud,...... you're like a girl who wears bloomers underneath her pantyhose.
I'm sorry. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ..................

'Ah!
I'm not sure what to make of it.
'He's probably thinking of something erotic anyway. ......'

Even though it's .......
I don't know what I can do.
I don't think I can even handle the "hard to get technique" right now. ......
It's a way to make people feel special so they will buy your product.
It's the 'good news only for you! You know, the 'good news only for you!
They give you a free raffle in front of a cell phone store and say, 'Congratulations!You've won a cell phone! The hard-to-get technique is also used to make it look as if the customer is a lucky one, and to make the customer sign a contract by saying, 'By the way, please register as a new customer. In fact, there is no value in the cell phone itself, but the fact that you have won the prize makes the customer feel "special".

...... special.
I'm not a fan of ............. ......
There are plenty of crappy people like me who can't do anything but peel carrots. ...... I'm not ......

What's this?What's this?

Suddenly, Umaro shouts out loud.
You'll be able to find a lot of people who'll be able to do this. ...... Oh, there it is, the carrot.

I'm not sure what's going on here.
'I want you to look at this!
'Which one is it?
'Um, can I see it too?
'Oh!I want to see it too!
'You can put ...... Magda first.'
'I want to see it too.
'I'd like to see ...... Pori Pori Pori ...... too ...... Pori Pori Pori Polipolipolip.'

And all those present look into the carrot.
And then silence.
It's ........................ quiet.




''''''' What the hell is this? '''''''


And they all shouted in unison.
What is it?What's wrong with that?

'Yashiro-san, what's this?
'...... I have something to ask you.'
'Big brother, what's going on here?

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... What?

I'm not sure what to say.I'm sure you've got a lot of questions.

Estella told me to cut the carrot that I threw at Umaro with a thump.

'''Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Such an unfamiliar cheer goes up.

''Yashiro-san, ...... is amazing.''

Ginette mutters, staring at the carrot I've cut.
Great?
When I looked at the carrot, ...... it was in the shape of a four-leaf clover.
I thought I was ............ peeling it, but it seems I was unconsciously carving it into this shape. If you cut it into rounds like Kintaro candy, you can make a four-leaf clover out of the whole carrot.

'I feel like I'll be happy if I find one of these in my soup!
'...... lucky clover'.
'That's my big brother!You're very clever!

I'm getting a lot of praise.

'Oh, um, Yashiro-san!

Ginette peeks at my face. ...... so close!It smells good!

'Can you teach me how to cut this?
'What?

Ginette pinched a four-leaf clover-shaped carrot with her fingers and appealed to me with a serious expression.

'I want to master this way of cutting and use it in the dishes at the restaurant!Please!Please, please teach me!Please teach me!

Then, he bowed to me with great vigor.

'Oh, me too!This technique is interesting for carpenters too!
'I'd like to hear about it too. I'd like to hear about it, too. If we could make a medicine in this form, maybe the kids would be willing to take it.
'I'd like to ......polypolypoly ...... for the children too. ......polypolypoly ...... ......policepolicepolicepolicepoly......'
'I'd like to hear it too. As a knife user, I'd like to master it.'
'Then I'll teach you, too!
'...... This is a skill that needs to be learned.'
'To tell you the truth, I'm training now to get closer to the manager!I'll learn it!

I don't know.
The ...... eyes of the people are very serious.

'Do you want to know ...... so badly?
'''''''' Come on, ''''''''!

This is ......
Does this mean I'm ...... myself ...... special?

Then!
I think you can use the ...... 'Hard to Get Technique' here!

I'm not sure what to say.I'll give you a special lesson, just for you guys!
'''''''' Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
'But instead!......There's a condition.
''''''''......Gokuri''''''''

I'll use this 'hard to get technique' to get the price I couldn't get out of you earlier!

'Praise me!
'You're a man!
'Genius!
'Cool!
'Good looking!

Hmmm ............ hahahahahahahahaha!
More!
Compliment me more!
Give me more praise, give me more confidence!

'You are the savior of the 42nd district! You're the hope of the Sunlit Pavilion! You're a good young man! A man I can rely on! He's very patient. He's also very decisive! ......The second one ''He's a good listener! My brother has good taste! He has deep pockets.'' ''He has leadership skills! He's a good father! He's got a big heart! He has big hands,......''...... double eyelids'''He's smart! You look so young! You also have egg skin after bathing! It's unique! Somewhat mysterious! Two-faced! ...... duplicity''

''Oh, you know!

Ginette stepped forward, brushing aside the words of praise that were being heaped upon me.
'Please let me tell you something! It's written on her face.
All right. I'll listen!
With a twinkle in her big eyes, Jeannette says to me in a voice as loud as she can.



'I love you, Yashiro-san!



--Wow.



The sunlit pavilion is covered with a tense silence.

............ Honestly, I couldn't imagine this statement.

'What?

In the midst of this, Ginette understood the line she had just uttered, and her whole body erupted in a puff of steam. steam erupted from her body.

'Tsk!No, no, no, no!That's not what I meant!

Ginette, her face redder than the carrot in her hand, flails her arms around.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time and money.It's not that I don't like it,......, it's that I don't like it,................... I'm not sure what to say.I'm not sure what to do.It's not like that!

Perhaps she couldn't take it anymore, but she finally covered her face and ran into the kitchen.

Well, I guess ...... she didn't mean anything by it. Yeah. It must be.
...... So, guys. Can you please stop looking at me with those piercing eyes?


And so I regained my confidence as a con man. ............



I've decided to seal up the Hard to Get Technique because it's too dangerous.
