Okay, great question, yeah, it's a sweet very sweet memory
Yeah, I have we've never talked about
Hatsukoi, yeah, you know, we don't really talk about our
Laying I story each other right, right. We hardly ever do
Like never actually never right. I don't
Know if you have a girlfriend or not. Hey, like I don't I don't know if kake-chan is
Still in a relationship or not. Like I don't right. I don't know right
It's it's really rare. It's rare. We never talk about it. There's not a question like this
right
We're gonna never talk about this topic like we don't know
Like if we have a plan like if we're together and you have to go somewhere I
We don't ask
Right, we hardly ever
Go into the zone, right? Right, right, but that's a form of respect though, by the way, I think okay, but do you have it?
Well, I thought you have no interest
mm-hmm about
my
romance, right I
Well, I at a certain
level I do okay, like I
I'm interested in like if if if
If we're like what kind what kind of a girl you're into like that type of right like the strike zone

But so do I yeah
right, but like
Like I am interested in like the details of your
Of like what your
03:01
Naomi is but like it's not so much to the point where I right like
It's a form of respect. Yeah, like it all goes down to that
I think like it's it's I think it's respectful not to ask. Mm-hmm if they don't want to talk about it
Mm-hmm, so I don't go for the ask. Okay, that's that's that's probably like the right what's going on here, right?
So you don't by the way, you don't want to talk about that. Well
No, no, you know something I don't want to talk about. It's just that I
Have nothing to say, okay, you know like no not in like public but oh no between between me and you like
Is that something you don't want to talk no, I very open open so about talking about relationship, okay, and um
Like talking about who I'm interested in right now or like how I'm feeling about stuff, right? I'm I have I'm
Very okay. We're talking about that. Okay
The reason why I don't talk about it is because I don't
Don't need
Well, I mean it's what value are am I adding to you by telling you that information like if it's funny?
Yeah, I would tell you okay, but like
It's like an yeah, like a like how is that valuable to you? Okay, right?
Like merit-based. I don't think you have any merits, right?

You know, it's really hard to say which which was my
True Hatsukoi. Okay, but I remember when I was a kindergarten student
There were a teacher called Akko sensei Akko sensei, right? She was really cute
Okay, and I was in love with her. I remember that okay. Yeah, and and she was so kind
Well, that's natural. She was teacher. She was a teacher, right?
