Chapter 361
To be honest, I was pretty excited too.
When I was a man, I hadn't stayed in hotels all that often.
Even thinking back to trips with friends, it was mostly during the school trip in high school or the department MT during university — basically, we booked a pension, threw some blankets on the floor, and all crashed together.
Even after graduating from university, when we went on trips with friends, we usually just found a nearby pension. A hotel was far from our usual scene in many ways.
A cozy place with three proper beds, and beyond the window, the literal nightscape of the city unfolding.
...Most of that nightscape was probably thanks to people working hard, but whatever — we were having fun right now, so I decided not to think about it.
"It's delicious!"
Claire, beaming brightly, said that as she picked one snack of each kind from the bags of snacks we'd bought on our way to the hotel and laid out on the table.
It almost made me think of Mia.
The difference, though, was that Mia would’ve stuffed her mouth full and puffed out her cheeks. Claire, at least, was putting them in one at a time.
Sure, the snacks were tasty — but more than that, it was the joy of the whole situation.
Was it really that fun?
