The first date was at a love hotel in Juso, Osaka.

—This time, I would like to ask you about Tomoyasu-san’s marriage, but do you have any plans for a wedding?

TomoyasuI’ve already done it. Sorry.

—Eh!? Really or which one?

TomoyasuIt’s home. There were some kind of mice that appeared, and the mice mentioned them to me. The blackest mouse plays the role of the priest.

KobayashiA buck-toothed fellow.

Tomoyasu…You’re funny. Now I can say something interesting. It’s been a long time since I’ve been bored. If I had said this in M-1, I would have won!

KobayashiBut (the editor in charge) was a bit weird…

—It seems like you seriously want to ask about marriage.

TomoyasuSo, can we have a serious conversation about this world where I didn’t go to a technical high school?

—What, what do you mean?

TomoyasuIs it okay to say that I’m a world-line character who didn’t go to technical high school and became smart after getting hit on the head by accident? (Swoosh) Is that my wife… That happened all of a sudden. I take the bus when I go to work. I was thinking how hot it was, but a woman opened the window. Ah, such a nice wind blowing… At that moment, I was captivated. I called out immediately.

—What did you say?

Tomoyasu“Do you mind if I chew your boobs??”

KobayashiIt’s now a technical high school (lol).

—Who would you go on your first date with?

TomoyasuThirteen love hotels.

KobayashiIt’s possible. This may be true (lol).

TomoyasuI guess I drank a little too much. On our first date, we went to a park near my office and ate lunch near a fountain. There, it happened for a while. I guess this is your first fight.

KobayashiFirst fight on the first date?

TomoyasuTamagoyaki was sweet, but at home it was salty. So, it became a struggle. I broke four teeth on the other side. But I can’t help it. Women’s teeth are softer.

—I don’t think that’s the case. But after fighting, we became even closer.

TomoyasuAfter all, we have to understand each other through fists.

KobayashiIt’s a technical high school.

— When did you start thinking about getting married?

TomoyasuWell, I was conscious of it from inside the bus. I guess you could call it a “bibibi marriage” in today’s terms.

KobayashiIt’s not even the word I use now.

TomoyasuI didn’t like it, but what made me think it would be a good idea to get married was when we were both looking at the night sky. As I was sleeping in the grass, a shooting star fell on the ring finger of my left hand. Yes, at that moment…

—Ah…

TomoyasuIt’s nice.

-It’s a meteorite.

TomoyasuAt that time, I thought about getting married.
