Sunny, Occasionally Bald: How My Heart Will Become Full at the Tokyo Literature Flea Market
Hello, I am Iwao.
I have written about this a few times, but I am ugly.
I am an ugly middle-aged man.
Since around the end of January, this ugly man has been losing weight.
I have mentioned the reason before, but since I am participating as a member of the literary circle 'Chi-bu' at the Tokyo Literature Flea Market held at Tokyo Big Sight on May 4th, I thought that weighing 95 kilograms was just too ugly, so I decided to lose weight.
I have lost nearly 15 kilograms.
Humans are strange creatures; even if you think you are ugly, as your weight drops, you find yourself looking in the mirror more often.
Well, I suppose even a middle-aged man is happy to see his appearance improve, even if just a little.
Having increased the number of times I look in the mirror, I have noticed something.
My weight decreased, my waist size decreased, the fat on my chest decreased, and the fat on my face decreased.
And then,
My hair decreased. ←NEW!!
...

.................Hey!! That's not what we talked about!! I lost weight to make myself look less ugly, but now I'm even uglier than before!!
The excessive weight loss of nearly 15 kilograms in just over two months has caused even the hair on my head to thin out.
It seems God is determined to keep me ugly no matter what.
When I tried to improve my looks by losing weight, my scalp thinned out too, making me even uglier than before.
I worked so hard, only to polish my ugliness to a shine.
Damn it!! I have to admit, it's actually kind of funny, isn't it?!
What does it even mean to work hard, and work hard, and work hard, only to end up more polished in my ugliness?!
Well, I wasn't too shocked, honestly.
I wish I could have avoided standing out too much in the Chi-bu circle at the Tokyo Literature Flea Market for being too ugly, but if I gained a funny episode about working hard to become ugly, then that's not so bad after all.
It is true that losing weight for the May 4th Literature Flea Market was one of my goals, but honestly, there was another reason I lost weight.
I was in the 50kg range until I was about 30, so I didn't have the foundation of being a fat person.
Having gained weight rapidly in the middle of my life, my body started screaming because my legs, lower back, and internal organs lacked the durability to handle being fat.
Various health markers started hitting abnormal levels, and I even developed a hernia because of being too overweight.
When I thought it was fine to settle for the weight loss to resolve those issues and the achievement of gaining a funny story about working hard to polish my ugliness, anxiety fluttered into my mind.
Will Danai Yamamoto forgive me...
Will Yuriyuriko forgive me...
The two leaders of the Chi-bu circle.
That guy, he participated in the 'Chi-bu' even though he's bald!!
I wonder if people will think that...
I want you to believe me...
I really want you to believe me...
I wasn't this bald eleven months ago when I was allowed to join the Chi-bu...
As I was thinking about that, another anxiety descended upon me.
I wonder if Yuko Sekiya will scold me...
It has nothing to do with the Chi-bu's activities, but in my previous article, I participated in something called #YukoSekiyaHappyProject and wrote a full-blown love story.
I wonder if Yuko-san will think...
That guy wrote a love story even though he's bald!!
I wonder if she'll think that...
I want you to believe me...
I want you to believe me...
My heart was full when I was writing love stories...
Right now, I'm thinking of excuses for why I'm bald to tell the people from the 'Chi' club when I meet them on May 4th... What would be good? Let's try writing some down for now.
1. I tend to go bald on days ending in 4 and 5. Today is May 4th, so it's a double whammy.
Today is May 4th, so it's a double whammy.
2. Well, it's very sunny today, isn't it? I sometimes go bald on sunny days.
I thought about writing a lot of them down, but the second one was actually pretty good.
On sunny days, I sometimes go bald... Yeah, that's quite refreshing and nice.
Such is life.
The shift schedule for the 'Chi' club booth at the Tokyo Literature Flea Market, where I—who am sunny, occasionally bald—will be participating, has been finalized.

After that, we are planning an after-party where you can come and go as you please.
I doubt it will happen, but if by any chance there is someone who wants to see just how ugly Iwao is, I will be there between 14:00 and 15:00 and between 16:00 and 16:30, so I would be happy if you could have a laugh.
I wonder if anyone will come.
Everyone else is popular, so if I'm the only one no one visits, even my heart might go bald.
By the way, I have written two essays for the 'Chi-bu-bon' (Chi Section Book).
I have decided not to write anything too intense on Note, even if it's an interesting episode, so what I wrote this time is a story too intense to be posted on Note.
The titles are
Mother's Love
and
The night I held a Greek defender
is
I would love for you to read it🌊🌊🌊
Well then, excuse me🌊🌊🌊
