Jealous Guitar-chan

One morning,
when I opened my eyes,
?
Otoha-chan.
Wake up.
It's morning.
wearing clothes with a pattern that seemed familiar to me,

a girl I didn't know
was right in front of me.
Who...!?
And then...

How dare you cheat on me!!
Stupid Otoha-chan!

she suddenly started making false accusations...
...Huh!?

A new oneshot from "KissYuri"'s betock-sensei!

Otoha~
You free after school today?
Otoide Otoha
Yeah, I'm free.
What's up?

I want your help in picking a guitar.
Ah, buying a new one, are we?
Sure~

Okay, let's get going right away!
Yeah!

I'd like to give this one a test play!
Okay~

Oooh...

Sorry for the wait~
I'm going with this guitar.

...Otoha?
...
Hey~
O-to-ha~

...Miss store clerk!
Y-
Yes!?

I'll like to do a test play too!
Take your time~

This guitar...
is making a really cool sound!

How did you like it?
Miss store clerk!
I'm... gonna buy this one!

Otoide

Otoha-chan.
Wake up.
Mmm...

It's morning.
I don't have school tod-
Who...!?

How dare you cheat on me!!
Stupid Otoha-chan!
Huh!?
Cheat!?

Don't play dumb! Lately... you haven't
been playing with me at all!

No, no, no!
Hold on a second!
Never mind playing with you, I have no idea who you are!!
Hrm~

p10

I'm "Mu-tan"!
Mu-tan!

Mu-tan...?
Is she an aquaintance of mine...?
I thought those clothes looked familiar.

It's a guitar design.
Pretty stylish.
Fufu. Great, isn't it?
It's a perfect design for me!
Heh~...

Hey, I just noticed that "Mu-tan"
is the same name I gave to my guitar.
Do coincidences like that happen?
...Hm?
?

Ah!
What's wrong?

p11

...Huh!?
Aaah~!
My guitar... Mu-tan is gone!

Hey, Mu-tan!!
Do you know where my guitar went!?
The cute light blue one...
Awawawa

...What are you smirking for?
I mean.
You called me "the cute one"...
I meant the guitar!!

This is confusing...!!
I wasn't talking to you...
But... I'm right here.
Mu-tan.

p12

...??
This strange girl who suddenly appeared
and called herself Mu-tan
and my other guitar that disappeared...
I-
It couldn't be...

Are you... my guitar?
Yep!
That's right♪

It can't be that simple...

...Then would you mind if I asked some questions?
Sure♪

p13

What do I do when I start playing?
Practice scales!
What song do I usually practice?
"Yukata"!
Do you know what a pick us?
That hard triangular thing!
What effector do I often use!!
Blues Booster!
Last one! When did I first start playing guitar?
Your second year of middle school!

Y-You got them all right...
Seriously...!?
Alright!

Hey... Otoha-chan.
Now you understand that
I'm Mu-tan, right?

Yeah... I guess I'll believe you.
Thanks~<3

Wait, so when you said I "cheated" on you, you meant...

p14

because I've only been playing
this Les Pon as of late!?
What happened to Reiwa sense...
That's right!
Now you get it!!

You wouldn't pay any attention to me,
even though you've been playing me every day up until now!

It's always just been the Les Pon!
I guess playing music is like playing around from a guitar's perspective...

Sorry.
It's just...
it made such a cool sound...
I can make a cool sound too!
I won't lose to that girl!

There are sounds only this girl can make.
It's like guitars each have things that make them unique.

p15

Otoha-chan, you meanie...

I'm sorry...
for not playing with you lately.
You also have a sound
that only you can make, Mu-tan.

If I play with you again from now on...
will that cheer you up?
Otoha-chan...

p16

Th-
Then you'll return the Les Pon to the..
Sorry, can't do that.

You meanie~!!!
Why~?
They're both my precious guitars.

You should get along with her too.
You're her big sister, after all.
Eh!? Big sister?
...Geez~ If I must.
This girl is such a pushover...

Since we can finally talk like this,
I wanna hear all kinds of things.
Yay!

In that case...
play me like you always do!

p17

But I can't play you like this...
No problem! Just take a seat♪
...?

Wah!

I-It really is you.
Ehehe~ Surprised, huh?

Even like this, I can still talk to you.
Give me a play♪
O-Okay...

p18

...Hey, Mu-tan.
How does it feel...
when I play you?
Hmm~?

It's like singing with my entire body.
It's very fun!
Heh~
That so?
I guess it's something like karaoke?
Hey, Otoha...

Your thighs are so smooth.
They feel nice...<3
Hey.

Otoha-chan's thighs... are the best♪
Cut that out! It's embarrassing!!

p19

I know! Otoha-chan!
Try playing that chord progression again.
Which one?
The one you often play when you're bored!
Hmm~ You thinking about that one?

Mm<3
Ah<3
That's good<3
Keep going<3

Oh yes, I wuv it...<3
Make it harder to play, why don't you!

Eh? What...? Does doing this every time
make you feel good?

p20

Yep<3
Uuh... I didn't think you'd be this much of a pervert, Mu-tan...

Ah, but don't get the wrong idea, okay?
It's not like anyone's playing would make me feel good or anything!
No, that's not the issue here...

Mu-tan?
...Hey,
I want you to understand, Otoha-chan.

It's only when the "person I love" plays me
that I get like that, okay?

...L-
"Love"...?

p21

A guitar falling in love with a guitar...?
That's impossible.

Otoha-chan!
I'm...
serious.

...The first person who picked me up
wasn't you, Otoha-chan, but another girl.

At first she tried hard
and kept practising with me....

but it didn't even last a month

before she shut me away in a dark place.

p22

Several years passed after that.
I think it was when she moved house
that I got to go outside after so long.

And so, she parted ways with me
...and I

became the decoration for a music store
along with a bunch of girls I didn't know.
It was then that I met...

...me, right?
Yes, that's right!

But I... was pretty negative at the time.
I was sure
that I'd just get sold again.

p23

But you were different, Otoha-chan.
You kept practising with me every day.

Even if things didn't go well,

even if you felt like giving up,
you never did.
That side of you...

awakened my love for you.
Mu-tan...

p24

Well.
I did think your sense in naming things
was a little off, though...
Nobody asked you!
It's cute, isn't it!?

Ahaha.
Sorry. I'm kidding.
You're a meanie too, Mu-tan...

...Now then,
I'd better go back.

Eh...?
This was just a one-off favor
from the Goddess of Guitars.
This may be the last time
we can talk like this, but...

p25

If you feel the same way about me, Otoha-chan,
then I'd be happy if you stayed by my side♪

Yes...!
Of course I will!

p26

There may be times,
where I'll once again
get distracted by other girls,
but I'm sure,
no, I'm certain,

that I'll come back to you, Mu-tan!

...Thank you,
Otoha-chan.

Getting...
to meet you...
and talk to you...

p27

made me so happy.

Please keep looking after me...

Several years passed since then.

I'm not standing on stage
as a professional guitarist.
I've used all kinds of guitars searching for the ideal sound, but...

p28

the one who fits the best
Thank you.
has gotta be this girl!

Okay, let's do this!
Mu-tan!

Awaiting your feedback!
