I Got Into the Mass Production Anime chapter 3

3. Youoji Inazuke (1)

3. Yoji Iinazuke (1)

I arrived at the amusement park by car for about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

However, contrary to my heartfelt attitude, when I came here, I thought

All I could think about was, ‘What am I supposed to be doing until then…’.

The so-called ‘kidnapper case’ takes place at the central meeting square at the time of sunset.

Except for my father who cannot go with me because he is busy with work, I adjust the time with my mother and arrive at the amusement park as late as possible. It doesn’t happen in the first place, or you have to go around avoiding contact with them considering the possibility that it will happen elsewhere.

Well, even if I say this, since they are children who have never had a conversation with me, there is no way they will recognize me, so avoiding them one after another will not be particularly difficult unless I directly influence them.

What is bothering me right now is a different problem.

“I’m sorry, but the child is short, so this ride…”

“I’m sorry, but the child is not old enough to use this ride…”

“Ah… It’s okay hahahaha…”

It is called age limit and height limit.

…Can’t help it

If I had come alone, I would have just sat quietly anywhere in a restaurant, but I used my sympathy to persuade my mother who worked up her strength to bring me during my work life even though it was a long-awaited holiday. It’s not the right thing to say and just sit still.

For that reason, I pretended to be having fun hahahaha, hoho, even if I was forced to, and rode around on the children’s rides.

Also, when I became a 5-year-old and played with it, it seemed like it was a little fun…

Occasionally, I saw the main character or his fiancée heroine up close, but as I said before, there was no particular problem as long as I pretended not to know and didn’t make contact, so I didn’t have to force myself to avoid it, so I was able to enjoy it without worrying about it.

After eating until dinner around 5 o’clock like that, my mother looked exhausted.

“Haiseki-kun… Shall we go now…?”

My mother follows me as I go ahead, shaking her legs with a weak voice.

I rejected my mother’s proposal with a single blow and turned away.

‘Sorry!’

I apologized in my heart and stayed at the amusement park until sunset when the incident occurred.

…Still, I also have a thing called consideration, so I walked around more moderately than before. Maybe it’s because I’m young, but my physical strength is so good.

When the time came, I went near the plaza and sat down on a bench, carefully so that my mother, who was resting, would not notice. But she continued to look around meticulously.

About 10 minutes later, I got lost and found the heroine, Yoji Inazuke, standing in a plaza and crying.

***

I found it!

“Huh? Mom! There’s my kindergarten friend over there!”

“Hmm..? Really? Shall we go and say hello?”

“Yes!”

My mother, who fell asleep for a while, heard my cry and struggled to get up.

Leaving her mother behind, I quickly approached her before her kidnapper arrived, and greeted Nazuke Yojiii, who would now be her fiancée (her ex).

“Hello! This is Yoji Iinazuke from Wakame Kindergarten, right?”

As soon as I found it, I approached it as quickly as possible, and fortunately, I succeeded in approaching her and talking to her before the kidnapper got tired of her work.

“Huh..?”

When I spoke to her, she stopped crying and answered me, wiping her tears.

“Do you remember me? I used to sit in the corner all the time in kindergarten…”

“No…?”

“Ha.. Ha”

I expected it… But now that I hear it, it’s kind of like that.

Well, it must be even more strange to remember since he lived so quietly.

She succeeded in rescuing her from the kidnapper faster than her heroine, so now she must find her parents.

“I see… Where are Mom and Dad?”

“Uh…Hiing…”

She began to cry as if she remembered her own situation of being lost again.

“So, then, would you like to sit on the bench over there with me? Your mom and dad will be running around looking for you, so if you sit here, your parents will be back soon!”

“Yeah..?”

“Sure!”

I belatedly found me running somewhere quickly and brought her here with her mother who came to her and moved her to her bench where she was sitting earlier.

So we sat on the bench and waited another ten minutes, and thanks to her mother contacting her through the contact information she received from kindergarten, her parents and she were quickly reunited.

Waving small hands with Yoji Inazuke’s parents, who were saying thank you many times

“Thank you… Let’s meet at the kindergarten… Shujinkoo…” After the meeting with Yoji Iinazuke, who finally remembered my name, we drove another 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach home. Could

The next day I fell asleep in a good mood after receiving compliments from my mother who said “Haiseki-kun, you’ve grown up a lot” And my father who heard about what happened at the amusement park.

My mother suffered from overwork the day before.

‘Sorry…’

I felt responsible and took care of her mother by her side all day.

***

Um…

Someone who knows this anime might ask me.

Her heroine fell in love with her by appearing like her hero only after she had been arguing with her kidnapper for several minutes and was almost taken away by force.

She is sure to grow up to be more beautiful than a heroine, so why didn’t he save her in a dramatic moment like in her anime and fall in love with her?

Honestly, at a dramatic moment, I had the confidence to arrive before the main character and save him. As I said before, it’s because he appears when he’s almost being picked up and dragged away.

Even before that, it is still dramatic.

But what I want to say is

Ah, I’m not interested in that. All.

When I first came here, everyone in the world. I thought that pretty people, at least by the standards of this place, would look incredibly pretty.

Is anime, after all, a human ideal? Because it is to make it look beautiful, it is because I thought that women in this world like Annie would look pretty even if they had actually entered this world.

But as time passed, I came to realize. I didn’t see them as people.

No, it looks like a human, but acknowledges that it is alive and respects its personality.

But… To be honest, if other people hear it, even if they swear at me, I have nothing to say. If I were to define my condition now

‘A human who sees a chimpanzee who speaks, is smart, and dresses colorfully’

…Yes. Even if it doesn’t fit perfectly, there’s no way to define it as simply and clearly as these words.

I also thought about what the cause was.

So the conclusion I came to is that when I see the people of this world, it is not that they are in the valley of unpleasantness and I do not feel unpleasant, but this phenomenon appears because they are so heterogeneous that they cannot even enter the valley.

The first time I realized that fact was not long after I regained my memories of my previous life.

Watching videos of celebrities who are evaluated as the most handsome or pretty on You Tube, no matter how much you look at other people’s faces while walking on the street

“It’s strange…? It can’t be like this…?”

No one thought that he was particularly handsome or pretty.

At that time, I denied the reality and passed it on, saying, ‘Well, after a little while you get used to it, it will change~’, but I gradually accepted that fact as I felt a gap in aesthetic standards due to heterogeneity that does not change even after time passes.

This also applies to seeing the opposite s*x,

In the end, she did not have any particular interest in what she was saying about being connected with a pretty girl like that, so she began to act like that.

And also according to my ‘chimpanzee point of view’

‘There is no difference between a pretty girl and an ordinary person.’

What I felt was not only that the opposite s*x was invisible.

Should I say that I am not good at recognizing faces in this world?

In my opinion, the ordinary female college student next door, the celebrity praised for being so pretty, or the people in this world, especially the female faces, looked quite similar.

To the extent that if you go out on the street and look around, you will often see people whose faces look exactly the same.

Even if you go to kindergarten right now, everyone looks alike, so you have to distinguish them not only by face, but also by comprehensively integrating various things such as hair style, hair color, and eye color.

The fortunate thing is that, unlike real chimpanzees, they wear clothes, have different eye and hair colors, and even their hair styles are uniquely determined, so it is not too difficult to simply distinguish them.

However, as I said before, when I saw only the face excluding the ‘aesthetic distinction’, color, unique hair style, and clothes, for the face, not the area of ‘simple classification’ of humans, such as who is how pretty Just like when I looked at them, I realized that I couldn’t feel the difference between who and what.

And in this regard, I wondered how people in this world distinguish what a person looks like in the aesthetic realm.

“Mom, isn’t this celebrity similar to you?”

For him, I took a picture of an actress whose face I thought was the most similar to her mother’s, and asked her.

“Hmm~ No? I don’t think they look alike, do they?”

He answered.

… You look good.

Still, it seems to me that there is not much difference other than the hair style, so I asked my mother if she could style her hair like this once.

My mother, who had been messing with and tying her hair for a moment, looked almost exactly like the celebrity in the photo.

“It’s the same..?”

“Oh, he’s really good too”

She must have taken what I said seriously and sincerely as a compliment.

My father beside me said, “What are you talking about! Your mother is much better! Your mother was chosen as the coolest beauty in the province in the past!” He was complimenting me, so I couldn’t ask for more details

I was able to find out through this incident.

People in this world are chimpanzees… No. Hmm… Just as Asians and Westerners in their previous lives can’t tell each other’s faces well, but Asians and Westerners can tell the faces apart well, just like that, people in this world are ‘just’ distinguished among themselves.

…FYI, just because I keep acting like a chimpanzee doesn’t really mean that they look like chimpanzees.

It was the same as it was when I saw the anime, and it’s just a metaphor…

Anyway, is it true that I was chosen as the coolest beauty in the province?

Okay. The face of the mother I saw before. That is to say, not everyone else had big, glowing eyes and clear, white skin without any blemishes.

Of course, from my point of view, everyone’s eyes looked incredibly big, but there were differences among them, some eyes were not bright, and there were also differences in their skin, such as having freckles or not being white.

Anyway, coming back to the original theory, in addition to the fact that I am not interested in flirting with a beautiful girl for this and that reason, another important reason is that a five-year-old child is crying because she lost her parents, and the kidnapper will soon appear and drag her away. As a matter of course, I don’t think it’s right to block it.

I don’t want to leave a child with trauma because of my greed.

-9 Years later-

“Oh go away”

“ㅗ”

“Oh please…Ah…”

“Baka haiseki! Get up quickly!”

This ungrateful trespasser who started using the candy he learned from me as it is, and started calling me by name at some point, is Ininazuke Yooji. He is my childhood friend who lives next door to me.

Why is he here?

It started 9 years ago. It was the year I remembered my previous life, so it was when I was a 5-year-old kindergartener.
