Tsugaru Nodoka Promotes

“I’m Tanikawa Sakuya. It’s no secret, I’m the daughter of Master, the owner of our [Sanctuary] coffee shop.”

“Where?”

“Ugh……..Hideyori and I are coffee comrades so he’s going to take over the shop in the future.”

.

.

Cutting off Misuzu who has no idea what she’s talking about Sakuya continued.

Meanwhile, everyone else pretends they didn’t hear the last part.

.

.

“We are farther away from the station but our shop is famous for better coffee than Starbucks. The shop is filled with customers every day too. From afar, Master is pretty handsome and I, his daughter, am known for my cuteness (According to Master)! Oi, Older Fukamori, you know the place right!?”

“No, not really…….”

.

.

Mitsuki tried to recall if there was a coffee shop that would fit that description but she couldn’t think of one.

.

.

“That coffee shop is pretty famous because their Part-time Manager is like an angel you know.”

“No? My shop doesn’t have that kind of reputation.”

“Oi, this is where you go along with me right!?”

“But the Part-time Manager at our place is always so high tension, it’s a little annoying.”

“Your tension is just too low alright!”

.

.

Yoru, the coffee shop’s Part-time Manager who’s actually the only part-timer there, started going back and forth with Sakuya.

.

.

“Ehh? Do they really have better coffee than Starbucks?”

“I like this coffee shop more than Starbucks so I visit quite often you know.”

“Hou. If even Towa is saying that then I’m looking forward to it.”

.

.

Hearing Towa’s comment, the Fukamori sisters started getting interested in Master’s coffee shop.

“What kind of coffee shop is it?” Misuzu asked.

“It’s a very relaxing place” Answered Towa.

She also followed with “I have been visiting that shop since I moved here so it’s been 3 years now.”

“Send me the map.” Mitsuki said. And just like that, they started enthusiastically chatting about the coffee shop.

.

.

“……….Why is it more effective when Towa’s the one who says it…….?”

“That’s popularity for you.”

“Yurika, how do I become popular?”

“Start earnestly facing people, I guess?”

“It’s impossible for me then.”

“There’s your answer.”

.

.

Sakuya cast her gaze faraway.

.

.

“Hideyori-san also visits the place sometimes you know.”

“Misuzu wants to go too!”

.

.

Misuzu’s excited voice reached Sakuya’s ear.

.

.

“Hideyori is basically our beckoning cat isn’t he?”

“That’s it, that’s exactly right. His boring catchphrase. That [Magic Nya~~] thing!”

.

.

Nodoka imitated Hideyori while doing a cat-like gesture.

.

.

“…………”

.

.

Recalling Toyotomi Mitsuhide’s [Magic Nya~] from her previous life, Madoka’s cheeks slightly blushed.

.

.

“Rather, so Master-san’s coffee shop is actually called [Sanctuary] huh.”

.

.

Hearing Emi, Madoka regained her sense.

.

.

“I think Akechi-kun probably doesn’t know that either.”

“Hideyori-kun, he gets along so well with Master-san but he has never asked his or his shop’s name after all.”

.

.

Emi and Madoka started gossiping and making jokes about Hideyori.

.

.

(I’m a regular there but I don’t know his real name either though…….} Seiko thought as she started to sweat while hoping that this topic would be over so that the other wouldn’t find out.

In a way, the Akechi siblings are pretty similar…….

.

.

“Heya! Next is me! I’m Tsugaru Nodoka! I’m Tsugaru Madoka’s little sister! Honestly speaking I like Hideyori-senpai just for his face! Nice to meet y’all!”

“Umu, Nice to meet ya!”

“No, we’ve known each other for a while now though, Sakuya-senpai…….”

“It’s not often I can talk like you right.”

.

.

Sakuya tried to hop on board but Nodoka didn’t go along with her.

.

.

“I’m not Aneja’s twin or in the same grade as their sibling like Risa-pai so I’m an underclassman though.”

“R, Right……. By the way, why do you call Sakuya -senpai but call me Risa-pai? Is there some kind of criteria here?”

“Eh? It depends on the mood though?”

“So there’s no meaning huh……”

“None~, I sometimes call Sakuya-senpai, Tani-pai after all. I even called Mitsuki-senpai, Tsuki-pai so don’t worry about it.”

.

.

Ever since she was an elementary schooler, she had already learned to tease people first before others got the chance to tease her.

.

.

“……………”

.

.

Meanwhile, seeing how mannerless her little sister is, the older sister is getting a headache.

Not only to Hideyori, Nodoka basically acts like this to every member of the Western Army.

.

.

“Incidentally, is there anyone here who wants me to treat you the same way I treat Hideyori-senpai?”

“The same as Hideyori-sama?”

“Yes! I will even throw in a service and call you the same way I call Hideyori-senpai. How about it, Suzu-pai?”

“Eh? Ehh? The same way you called Hideyori-sama!? What is it?”

.

.

Misuzu asked with her cheeks slightly blushing.

A few people, Madoka included, already knew the answer so they started looking away.

.

.

“Yes! I will call you Scumbag-senpai!”

“No way! I refuse!”

“Ehh? So borin~g! Boo!”

“Your personality and attitude are the most scummy here alright!”

.

.

Everyone nodded along at Misuzu’s comeback.

That includes her own best friend, Seiko.

.

.

“Is it really wise to call me scummy though, Misuzu-senpai?”

“Wh, What……?”

“Even like this, I was voted No.1 [Girl who would do it with you if you ask (Middle School Division)]! I have tons of boys who would come to my defence, you know.”

“The world is coming to an end……..”

.

.

Misuzu said, astonished.

.

.

“Come to think of it, Madoka-san did get in the Top 5-……..”

“No.”

.

.

Risa tried to bring something up but Madoka immediately shut her down.

For some reason, people tend to have that image of the Tsugaru sisters……..

.

.

“Also, I currently writing a web novel based on Hideyori-senpai right now so please make sure to read it! My dream is to become a light novel author!”

“If Hideyori-sama is the model then I’m interested.”

“I can’t imagine a story that Hideyori would be a protagonist of though. Can you tell me a little about it?”

“Of course! It’s free promotion after all! The MC I modelled after Hideyori-senpai is a reincarnated antagonist of a game. This and that happens and he became even more protagonist-ish than the game’s protagonist, that kind of story!”

.

.

Incidentally, except for the Fukamori sisters, every member of the Western Army is looking forward to the daily updates.

Madoka is actually her biggest fan since sometimes the story just overlaps with reality here.

.

.

“Are you going to turn it into a book?”

“I want to! I’ve been trying to apply the story to contests but I kept getting turned down. It’s hard to maintain popularity after all. I’m always waiting for it to be picked up. I finally hit the 300 chapters mark the other day so thank you everyone for your support so far!”

“300 chapters is quite a lot huh.”

“Yes, but the start is a bit slow and the second volume was criticized a lot so please at least read it until volume 6.”

“Vol.6 is the toughest for me though…….”

.

.

Seiko cut in with a pale face.

At the same time, Emi and Risa sympathized with her with a wry smile.

.

.

“I think the hostile heroine in Vol.7 is the coolest.”

“I like the Vol.8 heroine! But I think Mitsuki-san and Misuzu-san will enjoy Vol.10 though.”

.

.

Yurika and Haruka were also shrewdly advertising their favourite volumes.

After that, Towa sent the Fukamori sisters Nodoka’s web novel’s URL and finally moved on to Seiko’s turn.

Author Note: Here’s the part about Nodoka’s writing a novel

V10C29

.

.

The novel Nodoka writes doesn’t actually exist so you won’t find it even if you try.

If someone finds it then that person must be an esper!
