[Previous synopsis]
There are already about three women I meet regularly, so even though I thought it would be difficult to add more, I reached out to a new profile and flipped through the photos.

Then, a 22-year-old woman who looks like a simple "bakery clerk" who is not suitable for "papa katsu" caught my eye.She was strangely curious, and she made an appointment with a man, but when I met her, she was more like a "girl" than a woman.

At first, I thought, "I'm embarrassed to walk with you," but--.
 

■ A relationship like a friend

 

I started to get worried about her, so I promised her the next week as well.

I had a lot of fun talking to her, and she was so naive that it was very refreshing.

I also wanted to know more about her inner life, and that "The danger of not knowing anythingwas also worried.

 

She said that she loves fried chicken, so I looked it up, but there are only stores that specialize in fried chicken that are too cheap.She chose a popular restaurant in Nakameguro, which costs around ¥1 per person.

"Anything," I thought, but she didn't mind at all.

 

"It's fine as long as it's delicious♪ I love fried chicken"
 

We sat face to face at a cheap, narrow table and talked about many things.

Today, I've become even more friendly than last time, and I've basically started to talk in a tame way.

We became so good friends that I couldn't believe it was the second time.
 

What I wanted to know the most wasWhy did you start doing it even though it's unlikely that you'll ever do something like dadI couldn't get a satisfactory answer.

"My friend told me about it," and "I was stressed because I was working remotely because of the coronavirus."It turns out that he's not the type to think too deeply.
 

Next, I asked him about his relationship with men.She hasn't had a boyfriend in about two years.I've dated three people so far, andI dated oneSay that.

I couldn't believe it was a lie.Hmm, the mystery just deepens.I don't know how this generation feels.
 

When I left the store, they said, "I want to eat something sweet."
 

"Then, let's drink the tapioca we just passed. I love tapioca♪"
 

I was completely on the board, and before I knew it, I was no longer embarrassed to be with a young-looking girl.
 

She suddenly became stiff

 

The third time was one week after that, the week after next.

“I like salmon,” so I chose a popular Japanese bar in Ebisu.
 

My eyes met with her who arrived a little late in front of the green window at Ebisu station.

At first I smiled, but soonHis expression became a little stiff, and suddenly he spoke honorifics.Became.
 

"I'm sorry. Did you wait?"
 

Last time you were so rude, I wonder what happened.It felt like the distance suddenly opened up.
 

"Oh, it's okay. You were busy with work."
 

I was also caught and returned first.No, it's harder than it was at first.
 

"The lesson has been postponed. Suddenly, the agenda has increased, so I'm late. I'm sorry."
 

Even if you talk on the way to the store, it's still hard.

I wonder what happened──.

I thought about various things while the story was a little interrupted.

Among them, the reason that I think is the most correct answer is, "We got along really well last time, but when I met again today,He was more of an old man than the image in my head, so I pulled a little."was.

It might be different, but let's keep it that way.
 

I was a little sad because last time we were like friends.
 

■ The determination of the third cup
 

It's just that the distance between us has increased a little more than before, but she's still cute and naive.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever been to a restaurant like this. I usually only go to family restaurants."

"This is really delicious. There is such a dish."

“I love hamburgers.

 

While I thought it was cute, I thought about various things.

I am also a man.It's boring to just eat rice all the time.

Of course, every time, some pocket money is generated as an allowance.

However, she is too young and seems to have very little experience with men,Desire for more relationship is also a heart hesitation.

 

It might be fun if we get along like friends like last time, but if it's like today, there are many other women I've met, so I thought about whether I'd meet regularly in the future. It might be better

 

But before that--

 

I was on my third cup, so I made up my mind.

I'm going to ask all the questions I've had so far--.
