Motto! Garupa Life #388 "As For This Impossible Problem"

It's no problem for one as perspicacious as Eve! Bushido!

Translator's note: This was a pain to get over with. The word 'tonchi' means 'quick wits', and is used in folk tales to describe characters (usually 'foolish' or lazy buddhist monks) who use their smarts to solve their (usually benign) problems. Three well-known 'quick-witted fools' are Hikoichi, Ikkyuu, and Kicchomu. For more info, here's a Japanese Wikipedia page about 'tonchi stories': https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/頓智話.

ジャックと豆の木 (Jack and the Beanstalk)

Higashinakano, Nakano-ku, Tokyo (May 31st, 2021)

[septusuki]

Adulthood was treating Maruyama Aya very well. Fully responsible for herself, going to University, and - of course - getting extra-super-comfortable with her own producer.

Ever since the Higashinakano Nao had become Pastel Palletes' producer, she'd overseen the group's activities with a sharp, but sometimes concerningly leisurely eye - so much so that she seemed awfully obtuse, sometimes. One of her first decrees as producer was that Aya was going to become Pastel Palletes' 'gaining idol'; she'd be the centre, sure, but mostly just at the centre of a titanic, calorie-heavy buffet. As much as she hated it, Aya piled on the pounds, much to her fan's alarmed adoration, and eventually grew to enjoy just how much her new size meant she was pampered - and pleasured. Little to Aya's knowledge, though, she'd gotten a new fan thanks to her expansion, closer than she'd ever imagined possible.

"Ah! I'm gonna be-- Omff-- late!" Stuffing as much of a chocolate-stuffed croissant in her mouth as she could, Aya blushed as cream burst out of the other end, the phallic-looking dessert she'd just forced into her face falling apart as she tried to gobble it up. "Nhh... Not again..." Aya tried to check her phone as the croissant splurted cream onto her cropped sweater-top, squeaking when she realised the time was oh-so much closer to 10:00 AM than she'd imagined. Waiting in line at that last bakery had really done more damage than it was worth.

Slipping her phone back into her terribly-tight leggings, Aya began to sweat as she realised what this meant - she was going to have to run. Aya hadn't so much as jogged in months, and now she was going to try and sprint, all the way to the agency. Patting her slightly-swollen belly apologetically, Aya thanked her past-self who'd made sure it was tucked into her leggings - even if that made the already-tight fabric into a balloon, ready to burst. Pulling down the hem of her sweater, and trying to wipe cream off of it, Aya found she was panting before she'd even started running; just getting ready was tiring her out. "Ugh... Just gotta...!" Aya jammed her eyes shut for a moment out of sheer embarrassment, and then pushed herself forwards as fast as her fat thighs could manage.

Aya was slower than she remembered. Slower than she even thought possible. With every huffing, puffing step, Aya's entire front sloshed about, sagging up and down in the confines of whatever clothing she'd squeezed it into. Quickly realising that she was waddling, Aya wanted to close her eyes again, as if it'd make it any less humiliating. Her soft, fluffy thighs were so wide that Aya couldn't even step properly, having to instead make massive, pendulous movements that the two milkshakes swilling around in her belly definitely didn't like.

Finding that even her third chin was beginning to jiggle, Aya squealed to herself as her entire body reminded her how fat she was with each metre. Moving her arms desperately in something that almost looked like a proper arc, Aya gasped as the sweat she was working up began to ruin her outfit. Her sports bra rode up over her belly, letting her tub bulge outwards and sag downwards, hanging over the hem of her leggings - which were suffering just as much. Any moment now, it felt like Aya's leggings would just slide off, and let her entire belly hang free - all two-hundred pounds of it.

"Unhh--Unhh--Unghh..." Aya moaned as she wheezed away, the obese idol she'd become struggling to even make it to her practice session on time - too obsessed with stuffing her face to be punctual. Mistaking huge gobs of sweat for tears, Aya just pushed onwards, trying to think of something - anything - other than how exhausting and embarrassing her own body was. Nao-chan's face... At the very least, Aya's producer - and feeder - wouldn't be too angry, surely. Chisato was another story, but Nao would just roll her eyes - and probably slap Aya's ass. Nao had started Aya's gaining course off when she was still a minor, but now that Aya was an adult, Nao could be more open with her desires; she was a fan of gaining idols for more than a few reasons.

Knowing that she was in an illicit, indecent, explicit relationship with her own producer was enough to make Aya start drooling on the spot. Every night, she went over her DM's with Nao, kicking her flabby legs - and touching herself - whenever her producer gave her some praise. She sent Nao pics of her fat belly, squeezed into her pyjamas, and got eye-wateringly perfect praise in response. Nao's simple, but always effective praise was what had kept Aya growing - or swelling, by more accurate terms - and right now, it was keeping that whale of an idol waddling. Noa-chan... Nao-chan... I want to see you, Nao-sama...

"Maruyama. You're late, again." Ten minutes later, Aya was greeted by Nao's disapproving face. Everyone else had already started, helping eachother with warmups and stretches. Aya was way ahead of them, for once, surely - she'd just spent ten minutes in the most heart-racing warmup of her life. "Just hurry up and join the others, okay?"

"S-Sorry, Nao-chan..." Aya didn't really have an apology ready. She'd been a total glutton, and missed the timing because she was too interested in seeing her humiliatingly-huge tummy get even bigger. "I-I was... Eating..." Aya puffed out her cheeks, looking down at her chest and moaning in disappointment as she realised the chocolate stain was still there. Panting - and nearly sobbing, too - Aya was just happy the agency had an elevator installed.

"Eating? Honestly..." Nao laughed off Aya's sweaty, stinking apology, patting her on the shoulder once she'd found a spot that wasn't soaked with the stuff. Aya filled up her cropped sweater much like the cream-stuffed crepes and croissants she loved to gorge herself on, and watching her swell through the sizes had almost been entertaining. "Good girl." As Aya passed her by, Nao whispered in the girl's ear, patting her fat idol on the belly.

What I liked in Diary of a Void by Emi Yagi, tr. by David Boyd and Lucy North (spoilers)

1) Theme of gender roles in workplaces. Shibata is the only woman in her section at the office, and all menial work like getting tea or coffee for others, cleaning up the fridge, etc. falls on her. It makes it difficult for her to focus on her actual work for which she was hired. It also gives her less time to herself at home as she almost daily ends up leaving for home from work past her time. So, one day in annoyance she comes up with the lie of her pregnancy. That solves all of the above issues for her in addition to gaining her the maternity leave that gives her a break from her annoying workplace.

2) Theme of loneliness. Shibata seeks solitude but she is also alone at times. She considers herself less miserable than the married women who despite being drained and tired themselves do the housework for their family, while she can spend her time doing what she likes. She does not like talking to people who do not care for her but would ask intruding questions about her private life and comment on what she isn't doing right according to them. Talking to those people makes her feel very alone. And it is not even as simple as avoiding the people she finds annoying because perhaps the vibrancy in those interactions makes her solitary apartment more darker: But why do I have to deal with these people who try to act like they care about me or my pregnancy while they ask the most inane, prying questions? Why is it up to me to produce answers that please them? And why is the way home so much darker and colder on nights like that? More than that, why is my apartment so dark when I come home alone from aerobics, after talking with the others about nothing in particular, snacking on whatever sweets are spread out on the table? There is also the fact that not everyone she finds annoying is so merely because they have nothing better to do or because they are inconsiderate. I think this was particularly emphasized through Higashinakano's character. He seemed annoying at the beginning, but later we find out that he has his own emotional reasons related to pregnancy and babies. At one point she also talks about family: Maybe that’s what making a family is all about: creating an environment in which people make space for one another— maybe without even trying, just naturally, to make sure that nobody’s forgotten.

3)Theme of lies. She is a 34 year old unmarried single woman living alone. But her lie turns her into an unmarried single mother, and she dedicates herself completely to this lie doing everything exactly as a pregnant woman would do for the entire period of a normal pregnancy. She does this because she doesn't care about lying to those intruding people and this lie enables her to maintain her privacy while still interacting with them: Even if it’s a lie, it’s a place of my own.

4)Theme of religion and motherhood. She talks to Mary, the Virgin Mother, in her head at parts. She sympathises with the role thrust upon Mary and the circumstances of her becoming the Virgin Mother and being eternally known as such, her personhood entirely ignored. Shibata too, after all, could get out of her uncompensated for extra duties only after she turned herself into a would-be mother through her lie. She finds solace in talking to this famous mother who must not have had it easy either, especially in those times, eons ago.

5) Theme of body. I liked how relatable Shibata's self-consciousness was: It was the bottom part of me that was different. I quickly dried myself off and tried on some skirts and jeans. Nothing looked right. My thighs were jutting out. And the way I looked from behind was . . . Well, it was just too painful to behold. This. I have felt this too. And I was happy for her when she felt better about her body after her walks and aerobics: It hadn’t even been three weeks since I’d signed up, but my body was already changing, little by little. Whenever I got out of the bath and looked at my backside in the mirror, I could see a real difference in my hips and thighs. My core felt stronger, and I didn’t feel like I was about to fall over all the time. My belly was getting bigger, and sometimes I felt a pain in my back, but it wasn’t unbearable. Honestly, I was feeling better than I ever had in my life.

6) The writing. I liked all the descriptions of the mundane day-to-day life activities. And her thoughts. Her overthinking tendency was also very relatable to me.

What I didn't like:

The visit to the doctor. It made zero sense to me. I was confused af.

Journal d'un vide - Emi YAGI

Quelle idée de tomber enceinte alors que l’on a un bon job et que l’on est célibataire ? C’est pourtant ce que décide la narratrice un beau jour : elle est enceinte. J’ai aimé son œil acéré sur les comportements de ses collègues de bureau : seule femme, elle est chargée de servir le café, débarrasser et nettoyer, distribuer les cadeaux. J’ai aimé son collègue de bureau, Higashinakano, au petit…
