April 12.

Third camp-off day.

One man, no, Cotehan Clothes Group A, was coming to the outlet mall in Sano with a woman.

To give you a choice of clothes.

To get your bag, to have your shoes picked out.

The shoes the man wanted belonged to a brand famous for their dessert boots. Shop the classic dessert boot from Bally.

Follow the woman's advice that you can wear it casually or in a jacket, because it's a little expensive but not fashionable.

The man who bought the shoes quickly changed and went to the next store to buy the bag and clothes.

The three-year unbranded athletic shoes had been replaced with boxes of dessert boots purchased.

Next up was a select shop for college students. There are also outlet stores in select shops here.

Because Sano is not far from where Funya-kun lives. If you knew about the store, you wouldn't have to get lost when you came alone, would you? We'll have it all here. I followed the advice of such a woman. Well, there can't be any disagreement with the man.

"How about you, Fumiya? Can I open it?

"Ah, Kanako. Yes, it's all right now"

"Excuse me. Yeah, just like I thought! You look great, Fumiya!

What the man out of the fitting room saw was a woman laughing heartily happy to see herself.

Two years ago.

The man who broke out of the drawstring and went to buy clothes wearing the matching clothes.

The smile of the woman who welcomed me when the man tried on the full set at the clothes store and opened the curtains.

Two years ago.

The man, the smile seemed blind.

The smile of someone living in a bright place.

I was wondering if you could turn that smile on yourself like this.

It wasn't until then that I began to wonder.

And now.

The man, out of the drawstring, began to act himself, worked and earned money, looked out for clothes and hair, and was just a little more confident.

I saw a happy smile on the woman who helped me.

And now.

The woman, with the knowledge she had learned over a decade, with the sense she had cultivated, chose men's clothes.

I saw a slightly hazy smile on the part of a man who gained only a little confidence.

A man, a woman.

Maybe it was at this moment that I fell in love.

"Sir, how did it go -?

Well, such a magical time is lightly broken by an innocent clerk.

Apparel clerks aren't just people who can be like women.

"This is Charlie. Echo, Tony, what's your target status?

"Oh, oh. This is Echo. The goal is… to make you happy."

"This is Tony! We might have seen something amazing right now!

"This is Meet. Hey, Tony, what's this all about? What happened while me and Charlie were enjoying some kind of flapecino in a super famous cafe chain from America? I don't know. I really ordered it."

"This is Echo. Something could really work for these two..."

"This is Tony! I saw something called maybe a moment when people fall in love! Already, if I saw something like this, I wouldn't even want it to explode. You felt like a bin even from a remote location in the store! No, it doesn't mean porn, does it?

"Oh, fuck! This is Meet! Damn, damn! I wanted to see it. Ahhh!

"This is Charlie. Easy, Meet, it's good news. Will the Snake Squad withdraw?"

"This is Echo. Well, you'll be fine now."

"This is Meet! Damn him, I'm gonna make you a question attack in the campoffs!

"Magical moment? You actually do. I did want to see it."

"Thank you, Kanako, for today"

"It's okay, I had fun, too."

After shopping, the two of them sat in a cafe where until earlier there was a cool Neat and an unnamed Meat.

It is Kanako's invitation to walk this way and take a break before we go home.

By the way, there is no obscene meaning to what I call 'break' here.

Just sit in the cafe and talk.

"And Fumiya... yeah, you're so cool!

"No, I don't... but thanks to Kanako. Thank you so much."

"Fumiya, I was just wondering... respectfully, you don't have to use it?

"Oh, yes. But I'm not used to it... I've never really talked to a woman."

"Oh well... well, let's practice with me!

Kanako asks to peek in.

By the way, there's no obscene sense in what I call 'practicing with me' here.

I'll just try to talk to a woman without any respect.

"Ugh... but good luck"

"Look, I'm saluting you again!

"Okay, good luck with that?

"Hey, why are you asking me?"

Two people smile and have conversations they don't love.

Apparently, the distance between the two is approaching.

Mentally, physically.

"Funya-kun is 25 years old... we're still here."

"Really? But I'm a freelancer, and I dropped out of high school, so I'm a stroke..."

"I don't know what Fumiya thinks... but I don't think it's too late from any age to fail and recover from it."

"Huh?"

"Me... I went to Tokyo as a high school graduate, went into the apparel industry I liked, got married, and soon had kids. It went well."

"Really... it's a world I don't have any ties to."

"But my husband got rough. He was a DV."

Kanako nagging, while keeping her tone like nothing.

Giri and Fumiya bite their back teeth.

unexpectedly a pure man.

"I've been patient because I have a daughter. When she was three years old, she told me."

"What did they say?

"Keep it up, why are you crying? Hinako said I'd give you whatever you want."

"... sweet child, what is it?"

"Yeah. But I didn't think it would work like this. I can't believe my daughter's worried about me. So, for this kid, he divorced at the age of 26, changed his place of residence and workplace, and started again. It's a common story."

"... Kanako is strong."

"Hehe, thanks. See, another salute! Well, that was tough out there, wasn't it?

"I think it's amazing, I think. Much more than me."

"Yeah. Because I had parents and that kid. That's why I got back on my feet. Fumiya was alone, wasn't she?

"I... no, I was there too. Friends, I wonder. And with your mother."

Wenya remembers the time with some distant eyes.

I don't know if I can tell you off as a friend.

Still, it's true that Eugene, Clothes Group B and the residents of the bulletin board inspired them to get back on their feet. And mom.

"Oh well. But I still think it was tougher than me. That's why it's awesome. I wonder what's going to happen now."

"How about...? But I don't know what I can do..."

"Say that. Fumiya, I don't know how many years ago... I believed Fumiya when she told me she was going to get back on her feet like Fumiya did now in a few years?

"I can't! No, you didn't believe me at all!

"Right? That's why I don't know what's ahead."

"Oh, yeah, right..."

"Yeah. This is how Funya-kun stepped out. I'm just looking forward to seeing what happens next. Me too..."

"Me too? What is it, Kanako?

"I wish I could help."

Kanako laughs lightly.

Fumiya Endo, 25 years old.

Second time in two hours. It is the moment you fall in love.

"Sa, it's time to go! If we leave now, we'll be home by the time my daughter gets home from school!

"... Oh, yes, what is it?

"No more! You weren't listening? Look, I'm coming, Fumiya! Oh, where do I put it down?

Fumiya was confused by Kanako's words and smile.

Take that Fumiya hand, Kanako rises.

Keep it up, don't let go of that hand.

Fumiya Endo, 25 years old.

Cotehan, clothes set A.

My first date in my life ended in more success than ever.

But.

Man, I haven't noticed yet.

That's not the end of the day.

After this, the man is heading off to the third camp.

Based on information from the Snake Squad, the residents are waiting for us.

A long interrogation time begins when a man arrives in Forest Park.

Most of all, there are some deep residents of the industry who have no interest at all.
