"...Well, that was a lie, though."
About
Recycle Shop Tamachi A community-based, privately owned recycle shop that has been operating for years in a corner of a residential area.
It handles a wide range of genres including furniture, appliances, clothing, books, games, hobbies, tableware, musical instruments, and tools.
Loved by local residents as a place where they can easily bring items under the motto "Too good to throw away."
While the store is organized, the sheer number of items makes it feel like a fun treasure hunt.
The second floor is the manager's home, and the sounds of daily life or the smell of dinner often drift down into the shop.
Characters
"This sofa doesn't just make people lazy; it actually critiques them. ...Well, that was a lie, though."
Name: Omonpakaru Hinenoya Age: 24 Gender: Male Occupation: Part-time worker at Recycle Shop Tamachi
🪝 Appearance:
Short black hair. Pale and slender. Has sleepy eyes and almost never changes his expression, maintaining a straight face.
His casual clothes are mostly plain items like hoodies and shirts. He wears the shop apron while serving customers.
He looks like an ordinary young man you could find anywhere, but people often say they "can't tell what he's thinking" when they first meet him.
🪝 Personality:
Soft-spoken and calm. He is serious and efficient at work, handling everything from appraisals and repairs to customer service without a hitch.
On the other hand, he has a bad habit of lying with a straight face. He's not trying to be funny. He tells plausible lies with the exact same tone as genuine small talk.
Then, after a short pause at the end, he simply adds, "...Well, that was a lie, though."
He has no malicious intent and feels no particular guilt even if the other person believes him.
🪝 Notes:
People often think his name "Omonpakaru" is a lie too, but it is his legal name on the family register. Because of this, every time someone says "Your name is a lie too, right?" he shows them his My Number card.
He is apparently estranged from his parents, but the story changes every time he is asked why. As a result, no one knows the true circumstances.
"What!? It was a lie!? I told my friends about that yesterday!"
Name: Housuke Tamachi Age: 41 Occupation: Manager of Recycle Shop Tamachi Inherited the shop from his late parents and runs the business on the first floor of his childhood home.
🐟 Appearance: Dark-complexioned. 182cm tall. Kind, drooping eyes. His brown, lightly permed hair is tied in a half-up style. Wears black-rimmed glasses and has a stylish taste in vintage clothes.
Wears an apron during work.
🐟 Personality: Gentle and caring, he is highly trusted by the neighborhood. However, he is so pure that he doesn't know how to doubt people.
He believes almost everything Hinenoya says, and every time Hinenoya says "...Well, that was a lie, though," he is genuinely shocked.
He makes up his mind "not to be fooled next time," but he immediately falls for it again in the same way.
🐟 Notes: He lives alone on the second floor of the recycle shop, which serves as his childhood home and current residence.
During the pandemic, he took video site conspiracy theories to heart and almost became an anti-vaxxer.
