Gobusatashiteorimasu!
This is Yurina Araki from the Fukuoka branch.

I moved behind the scenes in the spring of 2024 and returned to the front line at the end of the year...that's the life I've been living as a staff member.
With the arrival of spring, the city is gradually becoming more vibrant.
When the hem of the coat becomes lighter, people's movements seem to become brighter.

The other day I went to a cafe and there was a duo that somehow caught my eye.
Older man and younger woman
The atmosphere is natural and it doesn't seem like it's their first time meeting, but they're not too familiar either...
The conversation was calm and the laughter was subdued.
That perfect distance made me think, "Maybe she's dating a sugar baby."

It's a word that has become well known by now.
I think that among young women, it is increasingly being talked about as a sort of lifestyle change.

As a staff member, I always think about the following things when interacting with members:
I think what's needed in this relationship is consideration rather than compromise.

Make sure one side isn't too heavy.
That the other doesn't become too indifferent.
The pace of communication, choosing a place to meet, what to say when parting...
All of these things seemed to run smoothly by simply "reading the atmosphere."

For some, it may be a temporary relief,
For others, it is a part of their life and a catalyst for self-realization.
"You get something, so you get something back"
I believe that there are certainly interactions that cannot be explained by such a simple structure.

That is why courtesy is necessary in a world without rules.
I couldn’t hear clearly about money,
The atmosphere can change depending on how you respond.
Because our positions are unclear,
I believe that small acts of consideration and vague kindness can sometimes create great trust.

Adult relationships offer freedom, but they also come with the risk of fragility.
Things that didn't go well, and long-lasting good relationships
You will have the opportunity to hear from our members.

While valuing "a sense of distance that doesn't seem to be forced,"
But sometimes, try to gently imagine what the other person is thinking and feeling.
Keeping promises to meet and not canceling at the last minute.
If you receive a gift, be sure to say thank you.
And "Today was fun" and "See you again soon"
Don't forget just one message.
I believe that such small acts of kindness are what build good relationships.

I'm sure you all already know this, so I'm sorry if I sound a bit nosy.
However, it is something that we tend to forget or find difficult to put into words, so
I would be happy if you suddenly remembered it somewhere.
