Chapter 15: Cruel World
Go on a date... with her?! What is she even saying?! Okay, wait—calm down. Stay sharp. She's just a colleague from the Association, that's all.
"Something wrong? Why'd you go quiet?"
"Ah, um... What kind of date are we talking about here?"
It must be some kind of business meeting. Obviously...
"A regular romantic date. Just you and me. A date."
She's insane! What kind of girl says stuff like that so casually?!
"You know how things are these days. It's hard to find someone special. You're a man, aren't you? So why'd you go silent?"
"W-what? I just... I don't even know how to respond."
"I'm kidding! Relax."
What's wrong with this girl? She's going to drive me insane!
"Miss Hizumi, please don't joke like that!"
