This Talentless Girl
E1 | Introduction
I will give a few reminders before the story starts.
I don't own the pictures, all of them belong to their respective owners.
This is my first novel so please tell me what to improve on!
I will also try to improve my english in the process ;;
Let's go to the characters in this episode only!
He is currently 15 years old.
He lives with his sister.
Personalities: Kind and Loyal
He may seem rude but don't let that fool you!
She is the 2nd main character but Tadao is mainly focused on.
She is currently 14 years old.
Personality: Shy and Clumsy
Don't bully her just because she has no talents! Yes, it is probably impossible to have no talents. It's great that she can speak, walk, drink, eat and sleep.
You can skip this episode if you'd like, most of this is in the description.
Tadao
- walks up to his friends after arriving to school
His friends: Have you heard? About that talentless girl?
His other friends: Yes I have, I think her name was-
Tadao
Hello everyone! How are you all doing?
His friends: Oh, we're doing great. We were just talking about the rumored talentless girl.
- someone bumps into Tadao
Emiko
I-I'm so sorry! A-Are you alright?
Tadao
No need to worry, I am fine.
Tadao
Anyways, what is your name? I never saw you before.
He never saw her anywhere in the school because Emiko would hide in the bathrooms
Emiko
M-My name is Emiko. Y-Yes, Emiko...
Tadao
Oh nice to meet you Emiko! I am Tadao. Meet my other friends!
His friends: Hello... Nice to meet you.
Tadao
By the way, why are you shaking Emiko? I'm not gonna hurt you though.
Emiko
O-Oh... I-It's the weather!
Tadao
But the weather is really hot today though...
Emiko
I-I feel cold! T-That's it, I'm cold!
Tadao
Do you have a fever? Are you alright?
Emiko
N-No, I-I just ate ice cream on my way to school...
Tadao
Oh I see, how was the ice cream?
One of Tadao's friends: Tadao don't you know who you are talking to? She's the talen-
Tadao's other friend: Keep quiet! Let Tadao be himself, don't make him change!
Emiko
- Maybe I shouldn't have said hi after all...
Tadao
Hey, where are you going?
Emiko
- is on her way to the bathroom
Tadao
Oh yeah! What were you guys talking about when I arrived?
His friends: Sorry Tadao, another time, we'll talk about it.
Tadao
Alright then, I will go to class now bye!
His friends: Bye Tadao, have another great class today!
Tadao
- proceeds to go to his class
Tadao
One class down! It's now break!
Tadao
Sadly it's only for 20 minutes though.
Tadao
Oh hey Emiko! I didn't notice you were there!
Tadao
Do you mind if I treat you drinks?
They then go outside of their class to go to the vending machines
Tadao
What kind of drink do you want?
Emiko
A-Anything is fine...
Tadao
- picks the strawberry milk
Tadao
Here it is, your drink!
Emiko
- drinks the strawberry milk but after a while she started to choke on it
Tadao
Uwaah! Are you okay?!
Tadao
Here, let me wipe off that strawberry milk off you...
Tadao
Oh sorry! Did I startle you?
Tadao
You're surprisingly very honest.
Tadao
Most of my friends are not honest but it's okay, I think they will open up to me sooner!
Emiko
- proceeds to drink the strawberry milk again and finishes it
Emiko
I-I'm gonna throw this away...
Emiko
- walks to the trash can and throws away the strawberry milk box
Tadao
Oh no! Are you alright? Do you have any scratches?
Emiko
N-No, this happens very often...
Tadao
I hope your knees don't hurt for tripping too often...
Emiko
N-No need... I-I think my knees will be fine...
His friends: Hey Tadao! We were searching for you!
His friends: By the way Tadao, do you have money?
Tadao
Yes I do, what is it?
His friends: Sweet! We were planning to go on a movie later.
Tadao
Ooo, whats the movie about?
His friends: It's about 2 characters trying to improve theirselves
Tadao
That sounds nice, here, take the money.
His friends: Oh and, do you mind if we don't buy another ticket? We don't want to waste your money.
Tadao
Sure, you guys enjoy the movie later alright?
Tadao
By the way, don't buy the ticket for me, I want all of you to go without me.
Emiko
- thinks, I see now...
His friends: Thanks so much Tadao, we'll pay you later if we can!
Tadao
Sorry, I ignored you for a while are you-
Emiko
- her eyes feel sorry for him
Tadao
Why do you feel sorry for me?
Tadao
Sorry if I misunderstood...
Emiko
No, it's nothing really.
Tadao
Wait, you're speaking normally!
Emiko
Huh... Thats strange...
Tadao
What do you mean it's strange?
Tadao
It's perfectly normal though?
Emiko
... Nevermind it just slipped out of my tongue.
They began seeing each other everyday so they became great friends who would talk to eachother everytime they would see the other friend but one day, the worst thing happened.
Tadao
- is walking down the hallway
Random student: Hey did you hear?
Random student: Hear what?
Random student: The talentless girl is taking a move on the nicest person in the whole school!
Tadao
- listens to their conversation
Random person: Ehh?! She's infecting Tadao?!
What they mean is: Emiko is giving or infecting her "talentless" to Tadao
Tadao
- thinks, What do they mean?
Random person: What was the talentless girl's name? I forgot ;;
Random student: I think her name was Emiko Abe?
Tadao
- Emiko Abe? Wait so, Emiko is talentless?!
Tadao
- That's impossible! Teacher told us that there is no talentless person in this world!
Tadao
Maybe they're exaggerating her. I'm gonna try to ask her if she is talentless.
Tadao then walks to Emiko to ask her about what he heard.
Emiko
- sees Tadao in the distance
Tadao
Hey Emiko! I need to tell you something!
Emiko
- I have a bad feeling about this...
Emiko
- So he found out already...
Emiko
-... I think hes mad
Emiko
- sees his kind of angry face
Tadao was mad because the students where he heard about the "talentless" conversation exaggerated Emiko
Emiko
- Wait why am I about to cry?
Emiko
- It's not a big deal right?
Emiko
- I need to stay away from him!
Emiko
- If I cry, people will make fun of me or worse, he would join in! My aunt would probably beat me up again for crying too...
Emiko
- runs as fast as she can away from Tadao
Tadao
So they weren't lying after all?
Sister doesn't like bad people...
Maybe I should say sorry to her tomorrow...
Tadao
I'm overreacting! I think Sister will understand.
Tadao
And Emiko might also forgive me! Right...?
Tadao
Whatever, tomorrow will hold the future. Let's hope for the best!
Tadao
Huh that's strange... Emiko hasn't come back since the day she ran away from me...
Tadao
I hope I didn't make her too sad...
Teacher: I have an important announcement to you all.
Tadao
- I wonder what it is... Teacher rarely gives important announcements...
Teacher: Emiko won't be joining our classes anymore, she said that she will start a new life in a new school.
Teacher: I hope you all understand her.
Tadao
- I guess I went too far...
Tadao
- I really am a bad person...
Tadao thought he was a bad person for the whole day, his friends were worried about him because he was less happier than before
Tadao went to his sister's house after school
Tadao
Oh, I forgot, she won't be coming back till next week.
Tadao
I wanted to ask her something though...
Tadao
- goes to his room and lays on the bed
Tadao
The bed feels nice...
After that, he fell asleep and woke up the next day
Tadao
I fell asleep yesterday, how embarrassing...
Tadao
Oh yeah, what day is it?
Tadao
Whew, still, the bed feels nice
Tadao
Oh everyone! They're inviting me to a birthday party
Tadao
I can't just unaccept the invitation!
Tadao
- changes into comfortable clothes
Tadao
I think this is alright
Tadao
Okay then, gotta go!
Tadao then arrived to the birthday party very early because the birthday party was being held in his neighbour's house
Tadao
Theres only a few people here though...
Tadao
Did I arrive too early?
Tadao
I guess I did. I will wait for the others to arrive.
All of his friends have arrived to the birthday party after an hour passed
Some of his friends: Should we tell him now?
His other friends: Yeah, we already have a vault of it anyways.
Some of his friends: Are you all sure about this? He might come up with a way trying to get it back.
His other friends: That's impossible, why would he even want the money back? He's too nice.
Some of his friends: But still, his attitude might change once we tell him about it.
His other friends: That's true...
Tadao
Hey guys! I was glad that you arrived after 1 hour!
His friends: O-Oh hey Tadao. S-Sorry we were kind of late...
Tadao
The birthday party starts in 8 AM what are you talking about?
His friends: Nevermind, don't mind it.
Tadao
By the way whose birthday is it?
His friends: Eh?! You don't know?!
Tadao
Yeah, is it someone so special?
His friends: I remember that her name was-
E2 | Shut up!
She lives with her parents.
She is currently 15 years old.
Personalities: Impatient, Fearless and Talented ( she's kind of like a tsundere too )
She may look innocent but watch out! She might even kick you in the face for waking up late!
Let's go on to the story.
His friends: I think her name was Fumiko Ito.
Tadao
Fumiko Ito... I heard that name once...
Tadao
Is she really popular?
His friends: Yes! She has won a lot of tournaments and she is very beautiful too!
Tadao
She sounds nice, where is she now?
His friends: Shes probably participating in a tournament right now.
Tadao
I have never seen the gate open before...
- a girl comes out of the gate
His friends: Yes, she just came back from her tournament today.
Fumiko
Hey mom and dad! I won another medal again.
Fumiko's parents: Good job! That's our little girl ^^
Fumiko
Did you both prepare me all of this?
Fumiko's parents: Yes, you can rest if you want.
Fumiko
Alright, I'll eat for now since I'm starving!
Tadao
I never saw you before in the school - gets close to her face
Fumiko
E-Ehh?! W-What do you mean by that?!
Fumiko
D-Don't get close to me you pervert!
Fumiko
- gets flustered and kicks him
Fumiko
Nevermind eating, I will go rest now.
His friends: We also forgot to mention that she is a tsundere.
His friends: It's a type of dere, tsunderes are the types of deres that hide their feelings towards their partner
His friends: They might hurt you on the outside but in the inside they truly care for you
His friends: She was too flustered so she kicked you in the face.
The birthday party lasted for a few hours
Tadao's friends weren't able to tell Tadao the truth though.
Tadao
Uwaah! All of those cake tasted good!
Fumiko
You're gonna get fat if you keep eating that cake!
Tadao
- proceeds to eat the cake even more
Fumiko
You're eating it though?!
Tadao
It's too yummy I can't resist ;;
Fumiko
- slaps him to wake him up
Fumiko
I thought you were acting weird so I slapped you.
Tadao
Hey! I am not acting weird, it just tastes good!
His other friends: When should we tell Tadao already?
Some of his friends: I don't know, maybe we should tell him next week or so
Tadao
What are you guys talking about?
His friends: We were talking about the cake...
His friends: Yeah it's really yummy.
Tadao
^^ Glad you all enjoyed the cake
Fumiko
Hey blue haired boy! What's your name?
Tadao
Me? My name is Tadao. Tadao Sakai.
Fumiko
Well nice to meet you Tadao. You must know my name already right?
Tadao
Mhm, I heard that you won in a lot of tournaments
Tadao and Fumiko became friends after talking for a while
They had the same interests so they easily became friends
After the birthday party, Tadao went home
Tadao
That was so fun! I met a new friend!
Tadao
... I just remembered about Emiko
Tadao
Maybe she'll forgive me someday!
Tadao
I'm pretty sure I am not a bad person!
Fumiko
- rings his doorbell
Tadao
You can come in, the door is not locked...
Tadao
Oh Fumiko! What are you doing here?
Fumiko
My parents told me to give you the rest of the cake
Fumiko
B-By the way, i-it's not like a gift from me or something!
Tadao
Oh thanks Fumiko ^^ Thank your parents for me alright?
Fumiko
- walks to the door and then leaves
Tadao
Wow! The cake looks delicious
Tadao
It looks very tasty ;;
Tadao proceeded to eat all of the cake
Tadao
Uwaah! I finished the whole cake, I hope I won't get fat
Tadao
Hello everyone how are you-
Tadao
Is something wrong? You guys would normally greet me...
Some of his friends: Tadao, we need to talk.
Tadao
- I used to have 1000 yen before...
Tadao
- Maybe I kept giving them my money...
His other friends: So Tadao, do you have money right now?
One of his friends: Pfft, haha!
Tadao
Why are you laughing...?
One of his friends: Do you think you know where your money is?
Some of his friends: Hey- We didn't plan this-
One of his friends: It's with us.
One of his friends: How come you're so clueless?! We used you for money!
Tadao
That's fine with me as long you guys are happy.
One of his friends: ... You piss me off Tadao, everytime you give me that face, it makes me want to punch you.
Some of his friends: You're going way too far-
One of his friends: I wish you would just die already, if you're that clueless then go die.
One of his friends: I hope that you won't be clueless anymore after you die
One of his friends: Why do you trust us?! Our intentions were bad!
One of his friends: There it is, the clueless Tadao.
One of his friends: I thought you were smart but you're just an id-otic person!
One of his friends: Shut up, we're not your friends anymore. Wish you would learn how to become less clueless next time.
One of his friends: Go change schools if you're that smart.
One of his friends: We won't stop you.
Some of his friends: You went too far man...
One of his friends: It was what he deserved anyways, he should learn how to not trust people.
His friends left to go to class.
Fumiko
Hey Tadao there you ar-
Tadao
- tears start falling down his cheeks
Fumiko
Tadao?! Are you okay?!
Fumiko
Who did this to you?!
Tadao
My friends... They left me...
Fumiko
Let me teach them a lesson-
Tadao
No need, I'm changing schools.
Fumiko
I'm coming with you!
Fumiko
I can't just let you be bullied again!
Tadao
Alright, if that's what you want then.
After that, Tadao and Fumiko changed schools
Tadao's sister let him change because she was worried for him
The two of them got closer as the years flew by
They are now in an university
Fumiko wanted to stay with Tadao so they're in the same university
Tadao: Hey Fumiko! I tried finding you everywhere and I finally found you!
Fumiko: Sheesh, stop with the exaggeration, I was staying here the whole time.
Fumiko: Yeah so don't just say that out of nowhere.
Fumiko: - It's not like we're destined to be together
A white haired girl: Uwaah! Sorry!
Tadao: Hey watch where you are going-
E3 | You...
Present Time ( 4 years after the Episode 1 & 2 )
He still lives with his sister
New personalities: Mysterious and Serious
He changed a lot after changing schools and episode 2
She lives in her own apartment
New personalities: Hard-working and Trustworthy
She improved after meeting Tadao ^^
Personalities: Trustworthy, Caring, Helpful and Warm
Of course, she lives with Tadao
She may look young but shes actually 22 years old! She is caring but there is a side of her that you don't want to see.
She lives in her apartment
New personality: Responsible
Shes still talentless! Plus, she got a bit of a glow-up like her personality and such. She can still walk, talk, drink and eat so that this story will be less hard to make.
Tadao
Hey Fumiko! I tried finding you everywhere and I finally found you!
Fumiko
Sheesh, stop with the exaggeration, I was staying here the whole time.
Fumiko
Yeah, so don't just say that out of nowhere.
Fumiko
- It's not like we're destined to be together
Tadao
Hey watch where you're going-
Tadao
Hey Emiko! I never saw you in so long!
Emiko
- Should I change again...?
Tadao
Why did you run from me 4 years ago and today?
Fumiko
Hey, I'm confused please explain ;;
Tadao
Come on tell me Emiko! I have been wondering for 4 years straight, I want your response!
Emiko
... Fine, I ran away because I...
Fumiko
- Wait is she gonna confess??
Tadao
Ehh?! Why would you be scared of me?!
Emiko
Personal reasons, I cannot tell more further.
Tadao
Alright then, I will wait when you'll tell me the truth.
Fumiko
Tadao can you tell me what is going on? ;;
Tadao
Well uhm, Emiko was my friend 4 years ago
Tadao
So one day, I told her something that I shouldn't have said and she ran away
Tadao
After that, she changed schools and we never talked to each other again.
Fumiko
Now I'm curious about her
Emiko
- trying to sneak away
Fumiko
Don't try to run away, if you do then we will stalk you forever.
Tadao
That's a weird threat though Fumiko.
Emiko
I don't mind you guys stalking me though
Emiko
It might be boring stalking me
Emiko
I slip, trip and get injuries.
Fumiko
Oh... You're clumsy?
By the way Fumiko doesn't know that Emiko is talentless
Tadao
Yeah when we used to hang out, she would choke on a drink
Fumiko
I just wonder, how do you eat?
Tadao
She sometimes choke on the food so shes basically choking on almost everything
Fumiko
Is there atleast one thing she doesn't choke on?
Tadao
...I don't remember.
Emiko
I remember eating pancakes and finishing it without choking
Fumiko
I sometimes choke on pancakes how come?!
Fumiko
Is that your talent? Not choking on pancakes???
Tadao
That's a sensitive topic for her.
Fumiko
Sorry Emiko I didn't know ;;
Emiko
It's alright, I have gone used to it anyways.
Fumiko
So people were talking to you about it?
Emiko
Yes... Even Tadao did.
Fumiko
Tadao why did you say that to her?
Tadao
I just wanted to know her better
Emiko
So you weren't mad at me?
Tadao
I was mad at the people who were talking bad about you!
Emiko
I ran away because I thought you were mad at me...
Tadao
Which explains why you were scared of me.
someone shouts Tadao's name from the distance
Tadao
- looks at the person shouting
Yua
Uwaah! I finally found you Tadao!
Yua
Oh hello Fumiko and...?
Emiko
Emiko. You might have heard of me before.
Yua
Oh yes that Emiko, I never knew you were here!
Yua
Anyways Tadao, I have something to say to you!
Both of them proceed to run to a private place
Emiko
So that was his sister... I thought she would not look like him.
Fumiko
Well she does look like him, people mistake them for twins.
Emiko
By the way, are you and Tadao dating?
Fumiko
W-What?! What m-makes you think that?!
Emiko
You both seem very close to eachother somehow.
Fumiko
We're just friends...
Fumiko
Yes, we're just friends...
Emiko
I don't think you see him as a friend.
Emiko
You smile at him so brightly but when you stare at me, you're really gloomy.
Fumiko
How did you find out...?
Emiko
It was too obvious, I can tell that you keep staring at me.
Emiko
The same goes for the others.
Emiko is used to people staring at her because she used to be in the center of attention to others.
Fumiko
Were you really stared at that much?
Emiko
Yes, even in elementary.
Both of them proceed to talk about Emiko being stared at so much while Tadao and Yua...
Yua
Alright, I need to tell you something important.
Yua
I. Got. A. Boyfriend. >u<
Yua
You should be happy for me! I was single for 22 years straight!
Yua
Have you noticed the way Fumiko looks at you?
Tadao
... No? I'm not observative.
Yua
The way she looked at you, it was like love.
Yua
Do you want to return her feelings back?
Tadao
No...? I don't feel any connection with her.
Tadao
She's just an ordinary friend of mine.
Yua
Tadao, I like that you have become more honest now but please be more considerate to others.
Tadao
So you want people to take advantage of me again?!
Yua
No, what I mean is to find people who you can trust. Take Fumiko for an example.
Tadao
How can I find more people like that?
Yua
I'm sure you can find them everywhere
Yua
Or by fate, you might meet the person you trust the most.
Yua
Do you have someone that makes you really happy when you meet them?
Yua
Do you have someone that you love everything they do?
Yua
Do you have someone that you care so much about?
Tadao
All I can think about is you.
Yua
Don't include me in, we're family not strangers.
Yua
What do you think of her?
Tadao
Shes a great friend overall.
Tadao
She was the first friend I ever got to trust to.
Yua
What else? Do you like anything about her personality?
Tadao
No, her personality is quite annoying, she keeps hiding the truth.
Yua
That's how everyone is, Tadao.
Tadao
Why do they hide their feelings from others though?
Yua
They think that their partner would either hate or leave them.
Yua
It is natural to overthink sometimes.
Yua
Even I myself, worry too much about my boyfriend.
Fumiko and Emiko appear behind Yua
Tadao
Fumiko and Emiko what are you doing?
Emiko
We were wondering about what you both were talking about.
Fumiko
Yeah, I was really curious so I decided to bring Emiko along with me.
Yua
We were talking about stuff.
Yua
By the way Emiko, why do you look so empty inside?
Yua doesn't know that she is talentless.
Emiko
Well, a bunch of things happened.
Emiko
It's none of your business.
Tadao
You're so secretive. Tell us!
Tadao
- pulls her cheeks to make her speak
Emiko
Agh! What arwe you dowing?!
Emiko
Do you weally want to know me thwat mwuch?!
Tadao
No. I was curious for a long time about what happened to you these 4 years.
Yua
- tries to study their behavior
Yua
- The answer finally, I found it.
Yua
- Never thought it would end up like this.
Fumiko
Yua? Are you trying to study them?
Yua
Yes... I have been trying to figure out who is behind Tadao's behavior...
Yua
It turns out he was right.
Tadao
- gets close to her face
Tadao
Why won't you tell me?! I was so worried about you for these past 4 years!
Emiko
I won't tell you because I don't trust you that much!
Tadao
Why don't you trust me?!
Emiko
We just met after 4 years and you expect me to trust you already?!
Tadao
Of course! We were friends after all!
Emiko
Sorry, that word isn't in my book. I don't know what friends mean.
Tadao
What do you mean book?
Emiko
I only learn a few words each month.
Emiko
I have never heard of the word friends.
Tadao
But 4 years ago, I told you to become my friend!
Tadao
How did you forget that so easily?!
Emiko
It's not my fault that my memory is fading away after a few years.
Emiko
Bye, I'm going to my apartment now.
Tadao
... That girl, I swear she gets on my nerves.
Yua
Don't get mad at her, like I told you earlier, people hide things from other people.
Emiko
- is on her way to her apartment
