Delusional Review Response | "Sound Can"

This is a work for this project.

Since Jiunpei-san responded to Inui-san's delusional review with an answer song, I'm going to respond further with an illustration and text!

⬛︎Inui-san's Delusional Review⬛︎

It's an incident at an unmanned station, but triggered by a single "canned good," the story develops in an unexpected direction. The conversation between the characters is also humorous. The tempo, which feels like a comedy duo's banter, makes you chuckle. The ending is a grand finale, so it leaves you with a warm and refreshing feeling after reading.

Jiunpei-san's Answer Song

"Sound Can"

"Aaaah!! This is the worst!!"

I shouted, letting out the anger I had been holding back. I was a little startled by my own voice echoing in the unmanned station and looked around, but no one was there. I let out a long sigh of relief.

It's always like this. It's his fault, but he's the one making a pitiful face and making excuses. It's seriously annoying. Thinking of his face makes me irritated again. I kicked the can at my feet a little tentatively. The can hit the wall and rolled with a louder sound than I imagined. Startled again, I gingerly picked up the can.

What is this? A canned good? The label says "Sound Can 'Lovers' Quarrel'". I don't get it. Someone's prank? I put my finger through the ring and open it. ...What. It's empty. There's no sound either. Feeling a bit deflated, I plop down on the bench.

A couple entered the station. I glanced sideways as they sat on the bench next to me. The woman seemed to be in a bad mood. I felt a little sympathy for the man's downturned eyebrows, but I pretended not to notice. Just as I took my smartphone out of my pocket to check Twitter--.

Clang, clatter... The sound of a can rolling was the signal for music to start playing. The woman also started talking at the same time.

Woman
"Ouch! The worst! Hey, wait! My clothes, they're wet. It's because you threw an empty can at me! I really want you to stop that!"

Man
"Eh~. Sorry~ don't be so mad~ I get it! Yeah, it was my fault!"
Woman

"You're always getting in my way! Ah, I'm really sick of this! Seriously, you're going to compensate me for this time, don't think you'll get away with it for free! It's super dirty, this is the worst!"
Man
"But... don't just blame everything on me. Can't you reflect on yourself a little bit, too? (Oh, no, never mind.) Seriously, that was just me talking to myself."
Woman (Snapping)

"Huh? Huh? Don't you dare talk back to me. I'm saying that whenever I'm in trouble, you're always the cause of it! Ugh! I can't deal with this anymore. In the first place, why don't you understand that it's your fault for drinking canned juice in a place like this, and drinking this kind of stupidly sweet cafe au lait, and then just leaving it lying around like that even though you're a guy? Thanks to you, not only my clothes but my whole body is soaking wet. Ah. Wait. Sorry. It was me who was drinking the cafe au lait~~"
(*Excerpt from Jiunpei-san's article)

As the woman finished speaking, the music also ended. I just stared blankly at the can at my feet. However, what was there was just a rusty can with the label peeled off...
When I shifted my eyes from the can to the couple, the woman, who had been in such a bad mood, was laughing happily as she boarded the arriving train with the man. I hurriedly put my smartphone in my pocket and rushed onto the train.

What was that... My dazed head didn't seem to be of any use. However, the irritation from earlier had blown away somewhere, and I was definitely feeling a bit more cheerful.

It didn't end up being warm and refreshing~💦
I'm sorry🙏💦
