第29話 思わぬ再会への応援コメント
Ahahaha. That's the twist. Oh my God, Ikki, which snake have you met? A terrible woman. Lisa is a smart girl, she saw through your ex just like Sherlock Holmes. I'm pretty sure that life with such an unscrupulous and stupid woman will be just hell and will end in divorce and alimony, plus, she will cheat all the time. Well, now she faces a difficult choice. Become a single mother, or take the risk and have an abortion.
作者からの返信
She wasn't just a simple ex-girlfriend who appeared for the sake of the story; she was the worst kind of person, destroying the protagonist's view of love and even Paternity fraud.
At the same time, she also exists to further show Risa's charm as a woman. She also has a moment to shine as a woman who has been betrayed by her awful partner.

Ahaha. I don't think Takamine was joking. She looks like a lady who can charm the man she needs. I wonder if she's already interested in Ikki, or are they still at the level of colleagues only? Now for me, Ikki looks like my favorite type of main characters from NTR and BSS novels, in which a girl leaves the main character, who is essentially a great guy, but is too simple in a relationship and does not give thrills. Older girls who don't really need thrills anymore will be happy to pick up such a guy. And the ex will regret it later. Lol. I wonder if we'll see the regrets of an ex-girlfriend here?

This is absolutely not true. At the same age of 33, you can still safely have a baby. And even at 35. The risks are slightly higher, but far from critical. With the current level of medical technology and pregnancy management, this is a reality. I think Lisa has already reached the stage where she needs to make a firm decision. You just won't be able to give it up later. Therefore, it's better to honestly tell me now what's in your heart. You don't have to decide for Ikki what's best for him. Tell him everything and let him decide for himself.

第24話 穏やかに過ぎて行く時間への応援コメント
Oh, I'm really glad Lisa decided to discuss his condition and past relationships with Ikki. Maybe it will help him sort himself out. In fact, I'm very interested in learning more about his past relationships and understanding why he put up with all this. It probably happened because he entered into this relationship in his youth and was afraid of losing them, so he endured a lot, thinking that this was how he showed love. As you grow up and compare, you'll realize that you've endured in vain. This behavior is something that needs to be either corrected or terminated. They will not bring happiness.
作者からの返信
This is a setting that makes use of a lesson I learned from the second girlfriend I had in my life. The woman had the trait known in Japan as a "menhera." She sent me an email saying she was going to commit suicide immediately, and when I hurried over to her house, she was just like normal.
Whenever something happened, she would start crying in public, and passersby would think I was a terrible boyfriend who made her cry. But I loved her at the time, so I put up with it. If you don't have much experience in love, you can't see through a woman like that. In the end, I got sick and couldn't go to school for several months. But I don't hate her.
I designed the character Sachi, who is my ex-girlfriend in the story, while remembering how I felt at the time. However, I should say that my ex-girlfriend wasn't as terrible as this character. I've exaggerated a bit.

第22話 抗えない誘いへの応援コメント
It seems that this relationship brings both pleasure and pain. In the thoughts of the same Ikki, I see more anxiety, but almost no happiness. Lisa seems to be the same, but she's clearly starting to want to transform this relationship into a real one. We need to help Ikki clarify his feelings somehow. In fact, I think he loves her very much. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't go on dates and wouldn't really care about any little things together.
About the delicious food. I agree, borscht is a wonderful soup, especially if you eat it with sour cream. Of the soups, I would also strongly recommend trying the "Meat solyanka po-kupecheski." It's very tasty. As for what to treat yourself to, I would suggest "Shangi with potatoes and sour cream." As a child, I was lucky enough to try the "shangi" that my grandmother made in the oven when I visited her in the village. It was incredibly delicious. Ahaha, I think grandmothers cook everything just fine.

He has no confidence right now because things didn't work out with the first girlfriend he had in his life. It would be nice if he could blame the other person, but unfortunately he's the type to blame himself. That curse still grips him tightly. The same goes for Lisa; she's hurt by the failure of her marriage, but she can't find the courage to entrust everything to Ikki.
Thank you for the detailed information about the food. I looked into it and found that there are two Russian restaurants in Kyoto. The prices aren't strangely high, so I'll try to go when the time is right. As long as you don't delete this work, I can always see and confirm your opinion. Thank you.

I am always fascinated by the description of different dishes and how they are deliciously eaten. And the main thing is rice. Even though I'm not Japanese, I love rice. I could eat it every day.

作者からの返信
Nowadays, you can eat rice anywhere in developed countries. Japanese companies have also expanded overseas with ramen. However, depending on the country, some people feel the rice or ramen tastes completely different from what they had in Japan. Differences in water quality or temperature might be factors. Speaking of cuisine, I think Russian borscht is a great invention. It's a wonderful dish. I found it to be a very sensible dish—warm and nutritious.

I like that Lisa is honest with herself. Her feelings change and grow. Don't give up. Take it for yourself, lol. I think he'll be only too happy about it. Ehehe.
About stories where people from different castes or social strata meet. In fact, there are quite interesting and pleasant stories there. But personally, in my opinion, stories look good, either where the main character is actively growing and developing over the course of the story, or where he is initially good at various things and just doesn't like to stand out, or for example is not very good at communicating and building social connections. But stories where the main character is completely zero, but suddenly gets close to a pretty cool heroine don't look very good, because they are not very plausible (these are often completely frivolous comedies). I don't like main characters who look like a rag.
作者からの返信
Lisa continues to be captivated by his charm. Her state of mind is an important element of the story.
Maybe my interpretation was a little strange because I changed translation tools. I agree with most of what you said. I also like stories where the main character grows. At the same time, I don't understand stories where the main character is liked for strange reasons.
第18話 憧れのお姉さんはやっぱり可愛いへの応援コメント
Oh. To suggest to the guy with whom you are a sexual partner to date your daughter in the future.. It's a little weird. In addition, there may be many other factors why this will not happen. But I understand that it probably just shows how the difference of almost 10 years is perceived. I think it's very individual. These thoughts again. He's young, so he deserves to find someone younger and better than me. Pfft.. and if you are the best for him, even with this age difference? You don't have to decide for another person what's best for them. Stereotypes. It's like stories about school castes. A simple guy can't date the queen of the class, they're unbalanced, yeah. Nonsense.
作者からの返信
Yes, the age gap is definitely the main focus. At the same time, it's important for the daughter to marry a sincere person. Is this caste-like idea—that an ordinary guy can't marry the class beauty—pretty much universal everywhere? It's certainly a frequent theme in American movies and Japanese anime. Especially in Japanese works aimed at men, there's a tendency toward such depictions. I can understand it to some extent, but it's not exactly a favorable perspective. This time, I'm writing more in line with social norms than romantic ideals, so it might give a quite different impression from my previous works. My last line of defense is simply not making the protagonist a weak man.

Hmm.. Ikki's thoughts are going in the right direction. I wonder what will push him to stop thinking about the possibility of Lisa leaving for someone else, and start thinking about the fact that he wants to marry her himself? The thought of the reasons is hovering somewhere nearby, but it keeps eluding me.. Did past relationships make you so insecure?
Nakajima-san, I have a question. And how common is it really that guys try to pick up girls in crowded places, and quite persistently? Does this really exist? I'm not arguing, you can try to get to know each other, but insist.. it seems that nowadays you can seriously pay for this.
作者からの返信
This is purely my personal opinion, but from what I've seen, Japanese men tend to lack initiative in romantic relationships. Male-targeted works often feature protagonists like this. Depictions of men actively expressing affection are common patterns in female-targeted works (personally, I prefer that approach). Making the protagonist clumsy in love was partly for that reason. I also believe dating just one woman isn't enough experience.
Approaching women in crowded places—what's commonly called “picking up women,” right? While it's decreased significantly lately, there are still people who openly call themselves “pickup artists” and engage in this kind of nuisance behavior without hesitation. They approach women anywhere and brag on social media about “how many people they've slept with.” Of course, it's a nuisance, and in serious cases, the police might be called. However, it rarely leads to lawsuits.

Ahaha. Ikki, no one sleeps with younger brothers.. probably. In general, it is clear that at this stage she perceives you as a man. The problem is that at the current stage it won't escalate into something more serious. But let's fantasize. You will date a lot, make love, but then either someone will be interested in you (for example, the boss), or someone will be interested in Lisa (or maybe both of you will have such a person) and then the question will arise - do you want to end this relationship and go to another person? Or, given how you came to this relationship, maybe you'll just realize sooner that you don't want to end it. There are so many possible paths.. In my opinion, the biggest advantage between Lisa and Ikki is that they know each other well and have great chemistry. I would say that this is an 80% success rate.
作者からの返信
Having given up on his first love in the past, and due to their long sibling-like relationship, Kazuki struggles to gauge the right distance. In a way, she could be described as an idol-like figure. Even though she was someone he supported and watched over, for a long time he never thought of her as someone he could be with. Furthermore, an incident with his ex-girlfriend has made him unable to find the courage to take that step forward. His first girlfriend ended things terribly, so he also carries that fear.
第15話 戸惑う一輝への応援コメント
Ehehe. Well, how to refuse the caress of a tanned beauty. Moreover, Ikki is certainly right. Girls in their 30s are often better than young beauties in some aspects. And in my opinion, 30 years is still a young age. About the advice. I think it's less common in our country. People don't want to discuss personal things with someone and prefer to keep their thoughts and emotions to themselves, leaving the decision to themselves. I think we can consult, but definitely not on the issues that Ikki is facing. This is too important a question and the opponent is too important a person for Ikki.
作者からの返信
Is this also a uniquely Japanese way of thinking? Once women pass 30, people tend to assume their prime is over. There's even a theory that Japanese men have a tendency toward lolicon. Personally, I've always preferred older partners.
I see, the dynamics of romance really do differ by country. In Japan, dating advice is popular regardless of gender. It's become staple content for streamers like VTubers. So it might be hard to relate to the protagonist's feelings. It could even seem like she's overthinking things.

I think I can understand why Ikki is confused. He always took Lisa - nia very seriously. She was a model of a woman for him. And now he's in a strange relationship with her. I think it's important to think about what you want yourself. If a half-hearted relationship makes you uncomfortable, then you should probably strive for a full-fledged one, or break up. Nobody said you couldn't change anything. And it's not worth asking friends and acquaintances for such advice. No matter what they tell you, it's nothing. It's up to you to live with this decision, not your friends.
I remember Nakajima-san mentioned his dear girlfriend when we talked last time. I respect you very much for this decision. In my opinion, it's very cool and reliable. I wish you and your soulmate happiness.
作者からの返信
I usually write protagonists who make snap decisions, but it seems that doesn't resonate much with readers. So this time, I made the protagonist the type who agonizes and can't decide right away. In Japan, relationships where people can't decide immediately seem quite common—it's a society where men and women in their 30s and 40s email streamers for advice. I can't help but think, “Why don't they just decide for themselves?” How is it in your country? Do you have similar situations?
I see you remembered my story about my lover. It's truly an honor to have someone from another country think of it that way. Thank you.

Well, well, that's how we lick each other's wounds. Perhaps this is a rather pleasant way. But it seems to me that Lisa is somewhat mistaken.

If you're so sure that someone else would be better for him, let's just make the boss from work an officially authorized lover, lol. I'm kidding..

This story was inspired by something my lover told me. Some time after we started dating, she revealed she had diabetes. She said it would be difficult for us to have children and asked me to choose another woman. I told him it didn't matter to me, but if I were a man who wanted children, I probably would have had to break up with her. Since I wasn't, our relationship continues. It really makes you realize that adult love requires a lot of thought.

Ehehe. Honest Ikki was rewarded by his beloved lady. Now it remains for us to gradually turn this into a lover's relationship, not just sexual partners.
It was actually kind of easy. I expected more resistance. Alcohol must have helped.
It seems to me that now Ikki should become more relaxed and raise his self-esteem a little. And Lisa, too. She was clearly shown that the guy next to her sees her as a beautiful woman very well.

This is where the real story begins. With Ikki in his first year as a working adult and lacking funds, and the major obstacle of divorce history standing between them, they hesitate to take that step forward precisely because they care for each other. It's precisely because they value each other that they agonize. Unlike the previous story, this one depicts the complexities adults inevitably face.

Lisa seems to be unknowingly grabbing Ikki's stomach. Oh, I'm sorry, she probably did it a long time ago, lol.
About the dialects. I can imagine what it is, but of course, unfortunately, I cannot fully understand the difference, since I am not a resident of Japan. But I've always seen this moment in stories as something sweet that makes the hero or heroine a little special. Although, as I understand it, some people tend to make fun of people with a dialect unusual for the region. We also have many regions in Russia with different nationalities, which have some peculiarities of language and accent (almost the same as dialects). So in my opinion, this is a completely normal story. Actually, in my opinion, the leopard print looks much funnier, lol. Sorry, but I don't think it's very sexy, lol.

For twelve years, Lisa had him wrapped around her finger. She was his mother, his sister, and the woman he admired.
Dialects cannot be fully reproduced even by current AI or translation tools. To be clear, this refers to the Kansai dialect spoken in places like Kyoto and Osaka. Its intonation, word meanings, and sentence-ending expressions differ significantly from standard Japanese. While it's difficult to compare since I don't understand Russian dialects, if I were to use an English analogy, it might be closest to a Southern accent.
第10話 新しい日々への応援コメント
For some reason, it seems to me that Lisa's ex-husband is dating Ikki's ex-girlfriend. The first time I thought that was when I read the episode where Lisa says she's divorced. For some reason, it seems to me that this is possible.
As for Lisa and Ikki's relationship.. It's very interesting what exactly will change their status QUO and how they will become a couple, but I'm pretty sure that the initiative will come from Lisa. She is more confident in herself and in what she would like to do. I think she will be the first to decide that she doesn't care about the age difference and the nature of the relationship in the past. I look forward to.
作者からの返信
The story about Lisa's ex-husband will be covered in Chapter 3, so please wait a little longer.
I want to avoid spoilers that ruin the reading experience, but Lisa has her vulnerabilities too. And as mentioned earlier, this is also connected to the perception Japanese society holds toward women with a divorce history, so the story in this work takes a somewhat circuitous path. They move forward in their own way, little by little.
第9話 職場の上司への応援コメント
It seems our main character is fascinated by beautiful older ladies. Ehehe. Of course, he sees his boss as the eldest in the first place, but he also saw a beautiful woman in her. I think it's entirely Lisa's influence.
Nakajima-san, I wanted to ask. I don't really understand this moment when company employees go to clients. Why are they doing this? For example, a hotel. Did the company already have a contract and they went just to introduce a new employee? Or did they make an appointment on the phone and went to sell something of their products? It seems to me that nowadays people rarely meet to make sales and most of the actions are done online - it's more convenient for everyone.
作者からの返信
This time, we've decided to feature two types of attractive older women. The double heroines are the cheerful Lisa and the cool boss. Takamine Shizuku's story begins in Chapter 2.
The protagonist's visits to various places were primarily for new employee greetings. The secondary purpose was to teach how to handle situations like misdeliveries. It also included the meaning of exchanging business cards, an old tradition. Japan hasn't fully embraced online systems yet, and not many companies handle everything online. Even major department stores still visit clients for meetings. Online solutions are common only in big cities; many rural areas still lack the infrastructure for online operations.

Assembling furniture is kind of like playing around, isn't it? Especially the bigger the piece, the more so. Finding something with an innovative assembly method really gets me excited.
Oh, and I forgot to ask one thing. Lisa is a character who speaks the Kansai dialect. Is that okay for translation? I'd hate for it to cause any mistranslations.
Also, in Japan, there's a tendency to find women who speak in dialects cute, but in some countries, it can be seen as something to mock. I wonder how that plays out.

I think it's very hard for a mother. She really needs someone close to her right now.

It seems that all the girls who asked him to pretend to be a guy, or to endure something difficult had some other motives. It's just that either he's a pretty insensitive type, or his ex-girlfriend drove away all the "insects". I am very glad that Ikki is ready to be at least partially honest with Lisa. For example, saying that she still looks young and beautiful. This gives a good chance that the relationship will be able to develop in the right direction. Although, I remember that we also talked about the boss at work. Maybe we paid a little special attention to her for a reason and learned about her character and personality?)

Since it's only Episode 6, we're still in the phase of revealing things gradually. The questions you're feeling now will become clearer as the story progresses. That's why I confirmed terms like “trial behavior” and “date DV.” I thought if they weren't concepts recognized overseas, people might not understand their meaning. Judging by the reactions I've seen so far, I think it should be fine.
第5話 初恋のお姉さんとお出掛けへの応援コメント
Hmm. It seems so far that it's even hard for our hero to imagine that he could date Lisa. His self-esteem has clearly suffered. I also think it's influenced by the fact that he only had one partner (there really isn't much experience). It's like something out of a story about teenagers who love each other but can't admit it, lol. But unlike indecisive teenagers, we have a hot woman here who can just eat her beloved boy. Nakazima-sensei, about different dating tactics. To be honest, I haven't been on a date for a long time (I don't need to anymore, ahaha) so I can't say for sure. But remembering my early youth experience, I can say that I have never encountered such phenomena as "test behavior" and "intentional aggression." I suppose there are probably such people. I'm already curious to find out from our story what it was)
作者からの返信
This time, precisely because they're adults, the story explores the difficulty of being together based on feelings alone, so they face various struggles. As mentioned earlier, this is due to her being a divorced woman and him being a man without solid assets yet.
Regarding “trial relationships” and “dating violence,” these themes will be gradually revealed within the story going forward.

Huh. It seems the ex-girlfriend was not the most pleasant person. I'm willing to bet that because of her own behavior, the relationship began to seem boring and insipid to her. So, perhaps our main character is right. It's good that this oppressive relationship is over. And how easily the first love began to fill his heart and thoughts. Ehehe. I think it doesn't matter how many years pass. First love will bring exciting emotions to your heart all your life. After all, this is the one who conquered you for the very first time in your life.
Hello dear Nakazima-sensei! I am very glad to see your new job and to talk to you again. About the subject of this story. Of course, I have already met stories about girls "Gyara" in various forms of this term (from just clothes to a full-fledged bully). It seems that the modern image of such a girl boils down more to a certain style of clothing than to character. Sorry I've been missing for a while. I was busy with work for a while, and then, purely by chance, I got carried away with stories about changing chastity and reincarnated heroes. In addition, for some time there were difficulties in using foreign websites. But in general, everything is fine. I really hope that you are doing well too. The international situation has remained tense lately, and there is little good news. At such moments, books are the only thing that saves, allowing you to escape into the cozy worlds of writers. Ehehe.

My ex-girlfriend was young, so she made various poor choices. As the story progresses, the details will become clear. Do concepts like “test behavior” or “dating violence” exist in your country?
“Test behavior” refers to intentionally causing trouble or inconvenience to someone. “Dating violence” is literally domestic violence against a romantic partner.
My new work contains elements specific to Japan, so there might be parts you don't understand. If you don't get something, please feel free to ask again, just like before.
I'm relieved to hear you were familiar with the Japanese subculture known as “gal.” This heroine possesses a slightly unique attribute even among these women called gals. In Japan, she falls under the category of “kuro-gal,” referring to gals who intentionally tan their skin at facilities called “sunbed salons.” This has absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination; it simply became popular based on the prevailing values of the time, where they believed “it looked cuter that way.” Further evolved forms include more extreme fashion styles like “ganguro gals” and “yamamba makeup.”
There were various reasons, I see. Regardless of the state of the world, I am truly delighted to be able to connect with people from other countries through my novels. I look forward to your continued support.

First of all, thank you so much for writing a review! You've set a new record for the fastest review I've ever received since I started writing novels. Also, I'm so glad to hear you're doing well. I was worried something might have happened.
I saw news reports in Japan about Russia facing a difficult situation. I've heard various bad things, like gasoline prices being unbelievably high.

Are we going to lick each other's wounds? Well, sometimes love starts with that, too. I hope these two will succeed.

This work features a young man in his first year of working life as the protagonist, rather than a teenager. It focuses on the difficulty of pursuing romance based solely on whether one likes someone, as was possible during student days, once adulthood arrives. In Japan, women in their thirties with a divorce history are often judged to have significantly diminished appeal. How does this compare overseas?

The beginning is quite interesting and catchy. Especially the main character. I like the black older sister. I wish this story success!

This time, the theme is the Japanese cultural phenomenon “Kurogyaru” that emerged around the year 2000. Are you familiar with it? While gal culture is recognized overseas, this is a slightly niche topic.

エッッッッ！デッッッ！な黒ギャルお姉さんネタです！
エロなら定番ですけど、あんまりラノベではメインヒロインにならないのは勿体ないなぁと思って考えた作品です。
ご期待に応えられる内容、かどうかは分かりませんが、お楽しみ下さい！
第30話 俺は貴女の努力を見て来たへの応援コメント
Yes, as I said, there are difficult choices ahead. Very difficult. That's what happens when you don't think about the consequences.
Ikki sank into despondency. I don't fully understand him, but it seems that it's not worth continuing to be sexual partners with Lisa. You need to think about the future, because now it is unclear where this path leads you.

The protagonist's pain is hard to describe in words. He tried his best to fulfill his ex-girlfriend's wishes, only to be betrayed and repaid with the worst possible thing. He doesn't show it, but he is sad. But more than that, he just prioritizes Risa. This is where his true test begins.
