BL maidens.

2005/12/03 23:26

The other day on Fuji TV, they were airing a special report on BL maidens. (*BL = Boy’s Love)

They introduced a place called Otome Road.

It’s an area in which many fujoshi-centric businesses are concentrated,

and many fujoshi gather to spend money every day.

But why is it that despite the many “rotten” ladies and businesses there,

it’s called Otome Road? “Maiden” Road?

When I think of maidens, I get a more pure and innocent image in my head…

……

Just after we finished watching this program.

Y-KO:

I lose…

Well, I suppose that’s only a natural reaction to that.

Those people have way more experience than you. Their levels are higher.

Their stats and equipment are better. They live in an entirely different world from you.

So don’t feel bad about…

Y-KO:

Okay! I’ve got to visit Otome Road!!

Okay, personally, I’ve got no problem if you want to go alone.

Please, do go out and enjoy yourself.

Y-KO:

So, where should we meet?

… Huh?

ME:	What do you mean, meet?
Y-KO:	Isn’t it obvious? You’re going to Otome Road, too.
ME:	Why?!
Y-KO:	Why… to hold my bags?

… In other words…

ME:	You’re going to buy so much stuff there that you need me to hold your bags?
Y-KO:	Yep, you bet.
ME:	No way! I’m not going!!

Absolute refusal! Denied with all body and soul!

Y-KO:

Hmph. Fine, then.

I don’t care what you say, I’m not…

Huh? I don’t have to go?

Oh, good.

Y-KO:

I’ll just invite O instead, and get her to bring S along.

Please, no… Anything but that.

Don’t you hurt them!! (inner scream of pain)

ME:	… I’m sorry. I’ll go. Please let me go with you.
Y-KO:	Oh, you want to go? Well, okay.

And she grinned widely at me.

You conniving devil…

Now, if you’ll excuse me.
