Be quiet and get out

While Akihabara is indeed like a holy land of subculture.

“It’s more boring than I thought.”

– For real

– Right

– There are lots of people but it doesn’t give that wow feeling

– This place just feels like some kind of subculture Hongdae? That kind of vibe

– Hmm agreed

– If you want to see cosplay and stuff you have to go to Comiket, this is just a place that sells a lot of otaku merchandise

– That’s exactly it?

Honestly, as someone visiting for the first time, it was quite different from my imagination and I felt a bit bewildered.

I thought the center of subculture would give off a kind of amusement park feeling.

‘Come to think of it, anime portrayed it similarly too.’

It’s true that you can see anime characters attached to tall buildings and various figures on display.

But since I’m not crazy about subculture, I felt less impressed.

“It’s not like I have any specific merchandise I’m looking for, so it’s kind of cooling off.”

– What do you mean cooling off

– It’ll be different if you buy some figures

– How about trying some gacha? There’s tons of gacha to do

– There are lots of arcades too lol

– What the hell were you expecting that you’re cooling off

– Is your brain damaged from dopamine?

– You weren’t like this before, Munggi ㅠㅠ

– What’s being like me supposed to mean!!!

“No wait, come to think of it I brought a pretty spacious carrier… hmm, should I try pulling some figures?”

Then I changed my mind after seeing the viewers’ chat.

Saying it’s cooling off without even properly having fun.

‘Celebrity disease? Am I crazy?’

I quickly came to my senses and immediately went into a place that does gacha.

“All 4 floors are gacha? Are you insane?”

– For real

– If it’s 100 yen per try that’s 1000 won? How much is that with current exchange rate? About 940 won

– This seems worth trying

– Let’s pull something lewd, something lewd gogo

– The only lewd things here are Mungi and Kkeoseu but can I pull one too /This viewer has been banned

– So that’s why I didn’t see you yesterday

– Your dedication is truly admirable

– Both the one typing it and those not setting it as a banned word… toxic, so toxic

One Piece figures were obviously there, and I could see Demon Slayer too.

But contrary to expectations, there wasn’t anything particularly lewd.

Looking at the chat, I heard that it varies by shop, so other shops might have them.

“What I see the most are crane games or… things where you connect a hook to a ring and pull.”

– I guess so

– Don’t do it carelessly, it’ll suck your money dry

– For real

– Watch YouTube strategy guides for winning at these

– Even after watching, I still lost money

– If you act bitchy I’ll kill you ㅇㅇ

– For real

– Mungi, you’re definitely going to lose money

“What do you mean definitely lose? I’ll win amazingly, so everyone watch out since I’m going to be cocky.”

How hard could this be? You just angle the crane properly and easily grab it out, right?

I was actually famous for being good at winning dolls from claw machines.

Muttering that to myself, I immediately inserted 500 yen into the crane game.

The result of charging in saying I’d show a miracle of winning within 5 tries.

“Ah, are you kidding me, can the claw really be this weak?”

In the blink of an eye, 500 yen got sucked away.

So it was like losing 5000 won in less than a minute.

Even though I came here to have fun and was just doing it for entertainment.

5000 won per minute?

– Hahahahahahahaha

– Did you think it would be that easy?

– If there were only kids who were really good at picking, why would they expand the business this big? Ah lol

– Never search for the figure prices online

– Generally you need to win within 15? 20? tries to break even

– Mungi, it’s hopeless, this isn’t the realm of Physical Skills

Seeing the viewers excitedly teasing me at this perfect opportunity.

I felt my molars grinding for the first time in a while.

Losing to a machine? Me?

“Ah, I really can’t just punch it.”

– But if you hit it, wouldn’t it get smashed?

– You’re joking, right?

– Definitely joking, right?

– It has to be a joke

– But what do we do if you’re already like this after losing 500 yen

– You’re going to lose even more from now on

– For real

“Wait, I’m really going to watch YouTube strategy guides.”

– Hahahahaha

– The bachelor has surrendered

– Bachelor learning how to use the machine in real-time in front of the machine

– As expected from a virgin ㅇㅇ gotta read the manual

– Heeeeek it’s my first time but the technique is differeeeeent!

– Gachaaaaaaaaaat! Pull out a Figure!

– It’s a safe delivery, you’ve given birth to a Figure

Watched about 3 minutes of strategy Video.

The key was to get the angle right and gently roll it smoothly to get the Figure into the hole properly.

It didn’t look difficult at all.

It seemed like anyone could do it.

Because the person in the Video did it effortlessly too.

“I’ll try it right away.”

And so about 5 minutes passed.

“…Phew, you saw that, right?”

In my hands were about 2 Figures.

– Why aren’t you mentioning that you spent 5,000 yen

– Huk

– You absolutely must not say that

– Still, isn’t that about break-even?

– For real

– It’s 25,000 won each so you could say he roughly broke even

– Never search for the retail price of Figures

– Don’t search for discount prices either

– Just go sell them

– Don’t people usually not buy those kinds because they’re too common

– For real

“No, these are my spoils of war… why would I sell them, are you crazy?”

Who would have thought 50,000 won would melt away in just 5 minutes.

At least I was lucky to get two physical items, because if I hadn’t even gotten these, it would have been an insane loss.

“Next I should try a different kind of lottery, this one rips off too much Money…”

– Ttaranta† what other lottery will you do

– Ttaranta† but are there other lotteries to do?

“There’s Ichiban Kuji.”

– What’s that, you otaku

– You don’t know Ichiban Kuji?

– That lottery thing, when you pull Paper-like things there’s A Prize B Prize

– Ah, okay

– Understood immediately

– This one’s really about luck

“Do they just call it Kuji? Anyway… I’ll try pulling some of those too.”

Since this was Akihabara, places to do kuji were easy to find and get to if you put your mind to it.

I kept moving around and filming the surroundings.

While doing that at the same time.

“Maid Cafe… I should also check out places to go.”

– A bachelor honest about his desires

– A bachelor who won’t go to kyabakura but will go to maid cafes

– You have to buy champagne at a cabaret club ㅠㅠ

– The money is too expensive

– Mungi doesn’t know much about those places since he’s a virgin anyway

– Who made the Mungi virgin meme? It’s obviously a forced meme

– Mungi himself did

– Ah sorry

I kept looking for decent maid cafes to go to.

Here too, it was kind of like Kabukicho with maids standing around holding promotional signs.

It felt similar to yesterday so there was no awkwardness.

“Maybe I’ll find my bride here.”

– Crazy bastard

– Hahahahahahaha

– You’re looking for a marriage partner at a maid cafe?

– Ttaranta† really lives like he’s lost his mind

– This is Mungi’s hope edition

– Why is this the hope edition?

– Then are you saying a maid bride would be despair?

– Huk

– Ah

– Ahhhhh

– Mung-ppoooooo *3*

While communicating like that, I quickly moved to a place that did kuji.

I first checked whether they had A Prizes available.

“Places without A Prizes shouldn’t even be attempted no matter how high the odds for other things are.”

– For real

– That’s right

– Places without A Prizes are like drawing chicken parts without chicken legs

– That’s correct

“But there are some that cost almost 10,000 won each? Is this right?”

– There’s no way it’s wrong

– For real, don’t ignore the market leader’s prices

– But in Korea these cost 15,000, 12,000 like that

– Let’s refreshingly go for a 10-draw

– Because if I get it with a single draw, I’ll be so excited I won’t be able to sleep

“No way, no way… This kind of thing needs to be drawn one by one with single draws to get the real taste.”

And considering how much I’ve paid full price for things, I should at least have good luck in places like this.

According to the law of large numbers, the probability should be roughly fifty-fifty, that’s only fair.

After explaining my theory about luck to the viewers.

I immediately moved toward the kuji that had A prizes.

There were about 3 with A prizes.

Even though they were all A prizes of popular characters.

I could feel that everyone around was just watching and waiting.

‘Since they haven’t been out for long… not many people have tried yet.’

Regular people would try the kuji without knowing anything.

And once they pulled out all the F and G prizes, reducing the odds.

That’s when the real pros would make their move.

“And in situations like this, the protagonist is supposed to beat these odds and pull an A prize.”

I aimed for one single draw each from all 3 kuji.

And the result was.

Jingle jingle.

“C-congratulations!”

“As expected… everything went according to plan.”

– That’s just luck

– (Annoyed emoticon)

– But seriously, this is really annoying?

– Where did you learn to be so cocky?

– Is this for real?

– No way, this is rigged

– How much did you pay them to rig it like this?

– This is way too obvious of a broadcast script, isn’t it?

– Mungi got influenced by Netflix and now he’s using scripts here

A, A, B.

Figures of protagonist characters in brilliant poses were placed in my hands one by one.

“Nice and clean, I got them all smoothly, one by one.”

– You have no conscience

– That smug smile really pisses me off

– You have a talent for making people’s blood boil

“Everyone calm down, I’m going straight to that maid cafe I saw earlier.”

Honestly, for maid cafes, I was planning to go to a franchise if possible.

Typically places like Maid Reaming that feel systematic and thorough.

But those places have already been used by too many people for YouTube filming.

‘There’s nothing major for me to do there anyway.’

Rather than that, even if the scale was a bit smaller, I decided I wanted to go somewhere new.

“There’s only one condition for choosing a maid cafe.”

– What is it

– Looks?

“Correct, it’s definitely looks. Since there’s an ace out there anyway… I won’t go unless it’s with that ace.”

Among the maids doing promotions in the wide plaza.

I looked around to find the prettiest maid.

“Actually At Home? That place is supposed to be the best… but I want to go to a shop that has promotional ace maids who came out to save a shop that’s not doing well business-wise.”

– That’s detailed and kind of scary?

– Even knowing about At Home is really

– It’s famous but this is this

– Mungi did a lot of research

– A young man serious about maids

– A host going to play at a maid cafe

– Are you going to make the maid pay?

– Hahahahaha

– Do you think that would work? lol

How long did I wander around the streets like that.

Among countless maids, I was finally able to find one.

“Master! How about coming to our maid cafe?”

“…No way, she’s really the best among all the maids I’ve seen, wait let me go get filming consent.”

– What is it

– What did you see

– Show us what you saw

“I’m a YouTuber, would it be okay if I use your services while filming?”

“Eh, eh… YouTuber… may I ask who you are…”

“Ah, I was on Netflix too… do you know Love Code? I got 7th place… I’m Mungi…”

“Ah, ah… but, could you please step back a little when you talk? You’re too handsome so it’s a bit… burdensome.”

“Ah, I was on Netflix…”

– Mungi turning on Netflix to prove his identity, is this world-class?

– It’s world-class

– Mung-tube even has over 100k subscribers on both channels

– At this level he could really do a fan meeting

– For real when is Mungi doing a fan meeting

– I’m Mung-soon and I’m going crazy wanting to meet Mungop quickly (shaking)

– Mungop† ^^

– Gasp

– Have you arrived

– Your Majesty, Game Teacher

– What if you actually summon the real thing haha ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– The kids are having fun and you’re in a place like this…

“The filming, it’s all together right? I’ll be in it too… and the shop will be shown overall?”

“Yes yes.”

“Uh… wait a moment, I think I need to get permission, please wait just a moment. Um… no wait, uh… if it’s Master’s face then it might just be a free pass… would you like to come to the shop with me for now?”

“That’s fine with me.”

Even while being personally guided to the shop to get filming consent.

The maid who had come out for promotion kept talking to me.

“Then uh, for now I can appear in it.”

“Oh really?”

“Yes, because you’re the master…”

– Goshujin-sama dakara…

– This has a nice ring to it

– It’s a ta-da-da† concept so you don’t really need to rush it lol

– Ttaranta† it’s all included in the service anyway

– Still, that’s what makes it good

– Lies disguised as sincerity can’t taste that good

– Uhh euhehe ohohoho

“Our store is… uh, really small so it’s kind of like… regular customer business?”

“Wait, but you can speak Korean here and there?”

“Yes, I like it… and sometimes we have many Korean customers, so I studied… a bit.”

“Wow, that’s amazing?”

– Wow what’s with that face

– She’s really beautiful?

– Kind of like Suzy vibes

– Really could debut immediately without any issues

– For real

– Why is someone this pretty working as a maid

– That’s what makes it good

“Could I know your name? Nickname? Is it called a nickname?”

“Ah, I’m… Yuka! Yuka!”

“Yuka, I’m called Mungi.”

“Uh… Mungi goshujin-sama… Ah, we’ve arrived. Here it is!”

Behind Yuka’s “Ta-da!” sound effect was a really small building.

And in that small building, the maid cafe was on the 3rd floor.

It was a place without even one elevator, and even the stairway width was narrow.

– There’s a reason she was doing promotion

– The sign is small too

– It’s structured so it’d be hard to find without promotion

– But if we came all this way and get refused filming, wouldn’t that be a bust?

– This itself makes for good filming material, and Yuka already came out anyway

So we climbed up the narrow stairs.

“Please wait here for a moment, I’ll go get permission.”

Just as we were about to wait in the corner of the very narrow space in front of the door, following Yuka’s words.

Crash!

There was a sound of something breaking.

And then.

“Why not?! There aren’t even any other customers behind us anyway! Let’s just go out and have fun!”

“M-master… no, customer, we’re not that kind of shop… after-service and such…”

“No! That’s not what I’m talking about right now, how long have I been coming here! Hey!”

There was a very noisy commotion coming from inside.

Since I could roughly understand Japanese, I immediately figured out what situation was happening.

“Looks like someone’s causing trouble inside.”

– Are there troublemakers even in places like this?

– It’s not for nothing that maid cafes prohibit physical contact, filming and stuff like that

– Small places like this really depend on regular customers so there are probably lots of weird guys

– For real

– It’s hard to do business while drawing appropriate lines

– No matter what, there probably isn’t any meeting separately and stuff like that

– There are often guys who really think of maid cafes like some cheap kyabakura

– That’s real

“But usually don’t people step in to stop things like this? Like some tough guy comes out and tells them to stop.”

– As if there would be someone like that in a place like this lololol

– Hey, would there be bodyguards like that in a place where Ace comes out to promote?

But I thought it wasn’t really right to interfere in other people’s business, so I was just going to watch.

– You know, you’re there

“Ah, that’s right?”

At that final chat message, I immediately straightened my crouched body.

Only filming is prohibited, so going inside to look around should be fine.

“I’ll put the camera down for now.”

I immediately lowered the camera and went inside the shop.

What I saw was a somewhat chubby guy spitting as he lectured about service spirit.

On the floor, though nothing was broken, food was splattered messily and plates were scattered around.

So.

“Hey.”

I approached that man to cleanly sort out the traffic.

“Quiet down and get out.”

“…”

As soon as the man heard what I said, he obediently got up from his seat and left the shop.

“Would it be okay if I enjoy some services while filming here?”

I immediately got permission to film.

I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.

– Ttaranta† Huh what is this

– Ttaranta† He’s trying to do everything cool

– Ttaranta† Stop messing around

– Jjining† I just came in, what’s the situation here?

– Jjining† But why is Mungi oppa in Japan?

– Jjining doesn’t know anything

– Such an innocent girl

The chat that followed was just a bonus.
