Tokyo was fun. The signing session went well. That evening, Ugin-san and I visited Tsuru’s apartment and we ate takoyaki together. Apparently, Tsuru had been recommending Ugin-san to various areas in Tokyo. Since Ugin-san was a newcomer in the city, she needed all the help she could get, so Tsuru’s help was a godsend to her. By the way, she chose a science course at her university. She made steady progress to realize her dream to go to space. Back before she took her entrance exam, she was…- 157.4 K • Ongoing
Waiting for something that isn’t certain is difficult. Takatori Makoto’s words continued to echo quietly within me. The future was unknown. Waiting was nothing but an uphill battle against my own greed. If fate really existed. If everything was predetermined like a book, no matter how I tried to approach it, nothing would change. Continuing to wait would be pointless. Whether I did something or not, I couldn’t change fate. The thought that everything was predetermined made me feel a…- 157.4 K • Ongoing
- I was a little late. Today was the Coming of Age Day and they held the Coming of Age Ceremony earlier, but I didn’t go there. One was held at a venue near my mom’s house, but only my grade school and middle school classmates would be there, so there was no point to. Besides, I didn’t want to bother wearing a furisode. Instead, I went to the hospital to visit Sui. Since today was also the day of our high school reunion, I figured that I should visit him before going thereComing of Age Day is a…

- December. Tsuru was back in town and invited me to hang out. We promised to meet at our usual spot, the area near the stained glass of the Sendai Station. When I got there, she was already waiting for me. “What happened to you? Did you suck someone’s blood before I got here?” She was wearing a deep red lipstick. The red color was so thick that it wouldn’t be strange if someone mistook her for a vampire. “There’s a story behind this, okay? I was supposed to buy a lighter-colored one,…

- “Can I borrow your bike, mom?” After receiving my mom’s permission, I went outside the house. I put my bag in the basket and pedaled the bike. The wind felt good. Autumn was coming. The sunlight had started to become colder and soon enough, I wouldn’t need to put on sunscreen anymore. I continued pedaling for a while and before I knew it, there was a slope in front of me. A large bridge came into view. It was the Taihaku Bridge. Below the majestic bridge, the Natori River flew in all its…

- College break was long. Before I knew it, summer had ended and winter was coming up quickly. The streets were lined with bare trees with fallen leaves decorating the sidewalks. It made crunchy noises whenever you stepped on them. It was the first winter after I graduated from high school and became a freshman in the university. Looking back, my daily life was peaceful. My social life was good and stable. Back in middle and high school, school was the only real place I could go to and even then,…

- “A book cover, please. No bag needed.” Even when I didn’t think about it, my body was able to respond to the customers’ orders without any hiccups. At this point, I was proficient enough for my part-time job to the point that they allowed me to teach the newcomers who came in during the summer break. The customers rarely caused any troubles and my co-workers were all pleasant to work with. I enjoyed working here, listing up the new books gave me a huge amount of joy. If possible, I wanted to…

- “Arina~” As I was waiting at the central ticket gate of Sendai Station, Tsuru came trotting from the ticket gate with her case in hand. I moved from where I stood and approached her. “You haven’t changed much. I thought you'd look like a completely different person.” “The current trend is keeping things as natural as possible, I’m just following it~” I guess I could call that a change? I don’t know. Tsuru left her case on a coin-operated locker to lighten her…

- Once I got used to it, living alone was easy. At first, I got unnecessarily anxious about everything. Oftentimes, I would check on my doorknob multiple times before going outside to make sure it was locked. I also got scared whenever I lit the gas stove, thinking that if I mishandled it, it would explode and kill me. Since my apartment was next to the Hirose River, I would also sometimes get anxious about the possibility of it flooding. Though, that was a needless worry since the building was located…

- The result of the secondary test was announced online. I passed. After that, things started to get a little busy. The campus wasn’t far from Sendai Station, so I could live in my mother’s home if I wanted to, but she insisted that I should live by myself. She told me that it would be better for me to become independent earlier so I could be more prepared to deal with problems that come when I become a part of the workforce. And so, we looked for a place for me to live in and decided on an…
