Tsukuru Niwa ch3-2

Um!
I love your works, Kuu-san!

I keep them by my pillow and read them every night!
I've memorised all the lines too!
Thank you...

I love you, Kuu-san!

Guess, I'll go home.
Since those girls are gone and all.

That girl is...
Hah Hah

Why?

Help me, Jose.

We can't go back
to those days anymore.

I've paid the bill. Let's go home.

...Sorry for bothering you again.

It's fine.
It's okay.

I'm sorry for worrying you.

A-Are you okay?
Erm Erm
Wanna read a doujin? That should calm you down, right?
Pretty sure that only works for you, Moeko-san.

For now, get some rest, Kuu.

She's going to be fine.

Phew~

I'm gonna go shopping.
Does anyone wanna come with?

Here!
I-I'll go too!!

Then I'll come too~
No, it's fine!
Get me some nori salted potato chips~
Alright!

Should I ask
about Kuu-nee-san...?

Is something wrong?
Granny wouldn't say anything.
Y-You spooked me! I'm just fine!

...Something painful happened before.
She's been having panic attacks every so often ever since.

Something painful?

p10

I shouldn't ask... but I'm so curious!
How would you like to pay?
Credit card.
I'd like a receipt too.

Kuu-nee-san told me before

p11

that making doujins isn't all fun.
...D-Does that have something to do with it?

...That's right.
A doujin friend of hers became really obsessed with her,
so much that she became unable to go outside.

p12

S-So that's what happened...
That's so heavy...

Maybe I could help... or not.
I guess that would be impossible for me to do, huh?

You're fine the way you are now.

I wonder if that's enough...
She's huge~

p13

Here's the potato chips you wanted.
You goddess~ Thanks~

Here's some Pocari and jelly.
Could you give them to Kuu?
Eh? Me?
Shouldn't you take them Jose-san...?

p14

Jose-san sent these over.
I'll just leave them here.

U-Um... I don't do doujins,
so I probably wouldn't get it,

but you're so kind and gentle, Kuu-nee-san,
so whatever happened,
I'm sure it wasn't your fault, or rather...

I can't say the right things at all~

p15

Hime-chan.

Ah, you're looking better...
F-For now, drink this and get some rest.

p16

Were you encouraging me?
Thank you.

I still don't know the details, but

I'm guessing she's someone... who drives people crazy...

p17

So all I ended up learning
was that Kuu-nee-san is mellow.
So no new info at all.

What have you been up to, Moeko-san?
Putting the can badges I bought today into bags.

This way I can preserve them
and put away duplicates.
Heh~

Getting back on topic,
the important thing is human relations, right?
I'm a little distant when it comes to that kinda thing~

p18

I have fun just drawing stuff.
I don't really get complicated stuff.
So you don't have anyone
that you hate, Moeko-san...?

No, I do!
I hate whoever thought of blind sales tactics!
Hah...

The doujin world is a hard place~

Stuff getting many or few likes
or only that girl's stuff getting retweeted,
even though we should both be liking the same thing.

p19

And before you know it, you're hated... Scary, huh?

...

Do you get jealous too, Moeko-san?
You bet I do!
Like those posts that say "I put out 10 in a row".

If only everyone
were like you, Moeko-san~

p20

I found her house<3

Thanks to that conspicious bodyguard of hers,
I managed to track her this far.

But I won't see her today.
My hair's not all that great.

p21

This time,
I need to try not to break her.

Warning
