Although it was evening in terms of time, the sun was still high and the surroundings were bright, probably because summer was approaching.
I bought a meat bun sold in front of a Chinese restaurant on my way home and walked while eating. This meat bun was small and just the right size when youâre hungry, and it was sold for 100 Jenni each, making it a popular product for children and adults alike.
Recently, I often went to buy in person, so the people in the shop was not surprised when a man came to buy. And It made me felt very comfortable somehow.
I bought two meat buns, but even if I ate two, I still could eat dinner properly. I finished eating the first one, so I tried to put my hand in the bag to eat the second one, but suddenly I saw something interesting.
It was just past the side of the park. It was a small park with only one person at that time, and it was a quiet place with few people on the road. What caught my eye in such a place was a boy. The boy was on a swing alone in an unpopular park and was fading into the dusk. The boy⊠looked like thirteen or fourteen years old. And the boy was quite good-looking.
The expression of the boy, which was still young but had a sorrowful look, was somewhat sensual and made me think that if there was a woman here, it would surely attract the eyes.
âŠIs he a junior high school studentâŠ?
I looked around,
âŠâŠNobody is here.
⊠only one boy who is fading into the dusk.
he wonât be kidnapped, right?âŠÂ No matter how many women in this world have a âgood mannerâ, Iâm sure there are still crimes.
Hmm⊠Iâm strangely worried about him that I can just leave him be.
âŠFor the time being, should I try to call him out? If he seems to be annoyed, Iâll just leave him be?
When I decided what to do, I went into the park and approached the swing with the boy.
The boy didnât seem to notice at all. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
âYou should go home because the sun will soon set.â
When I called out to the boy, he shook his body and turned his gaze at me. And when he saw me, he looked relieved and took a breath.
âThank you for your concern.â
Oooh! heâs polite.
âBut I donât want to go home nowâŠâ
It seemed that there was something unpleasant at home.
âI see, but I donât think you can stay here forever?â
ââŠâŠâŠâŠâ
âWell, since I met you here, this maybe some kind of fate, so if you have any problems, you could tell me⊠Ah, of course Iâm not forcing youâŠ.. well, if youâre okay with this, here is a meat bun, itâs delicious.â
The boy who received the meat bun in a confused manner looked at me and the meat bun alternately, and after a while, he bit into it.
ââŠâŠDeliciousâ
âRight? itâs quite a popular meat bun.â
After that, the boy seemed to be a little lost about something, but he decided to talk somehow⊠and little by little he started talking.
âIn the end, I, Iâm going to have a matchmaking âŠâ
Apparently, the boyâs worry was that he didnât want to go to the matchmaking.
ââŠâŠ This may be quite troublesome.â, I thought so when I heard it.
It might not a big deal this happened in my previous lifeâ world, But in here, there was even a case where a man committing suicide, rather than going to a forced matchmaking. So, the mentality of a man in here was a bit⊠troublesome.
The men in this world are a hassle, so I have to be careful when handling him. Very careful like⊠handling a special natural monument!
âBut why again?â
I mean, men in here have such a mentality, so there shouldnât be a forced matchmaking, right?âŠ
âMy dad said, âwould you go to a matchmaking? I mean, donât you want to make friends of the opposite sex?â, but IâŠâ.
Oh, itâs lighter than I expected.
âI⊠hmmâŠâ
I wanted to say, âwhat about you go first and after you see them in person, you decide what to do there?â.
But, the boy continued his words. It seemed something hard to say.
âWomen are⊠scaryâŠâ
âAaah, I see.â
If thatâs the case, of course he wants to run away from them.
Maybe his dad wants him to overcome it.
âMy father and mother are on good terms, so Iâm sure they want me to build a similar familyâŠ. but⊠Iâm really scared.â
So, you yourself also aware of that purpose. But youâre so scared, thatâs why you ran away from homeâŠ
But unfortunately, most people in this world are women, so wherever you go, there are women.
That said, it is possible for men to stay in their own room and without going out at all in this worldâŠÂ But, it is not a good thing to do.
âWhatâs so scary about woâŠâ
âThe way they see me.â
The boy answered even before I could finish my words.
âThe eyes of the women who look at me feel like carnivores looking at their prey.â
âŠâŠ Probably itâs not wrong.
This boy is quite pretty. His light cherry-colored hair looks great too.
So of course, everyone want to ea⊠I mean, they want to get closer.
However, if this is left as it is, he will dislike women because his fear of women.
So, what should I do?âŠ
I decided to give one piece of advice for the boy who was worried.
âLetâs give up.â
âHuh?â
âLetâs give up on the fact that women looking that way to you.â
âBut what should I do âŠ?â
âGet used to it.â
âGe-get used to itâŠ?â
âYeah, there are so many women in the world, so it canât be helped. And, in additionâŠâ
âin addition?â
The boy listened to my words with interest.
âNo matter if they look at you like that, they wonât do something so crazy to you.â
Well, Men in this world are a little mentally ill, so women know what would happens if they are stimulated unnecessarily.
âSo, if you really going to the matchmaking, you can make friends if you want to, but if you canât do it, you donât need to force yourself and just say it to themâŠâ
âthat, itâs physiologically impossibleâŠâ, I added.
The boy nodded as if he was convinced when he heard my words.
And after thinking about for a while, he said.
âI understandâŠ. Yeah, I shouldnât be scared forever. I will go to the matchmaking and think it as a good opportunity.â
âDo your best.â
I send a support to the determined boy.
âYes! Iâm still scared, but Iâll do my best to say it⊠That itâs physiologically impossible!â
ââŠâŠHuh?â
âThank you for taking time to give me a consultation.â
The boy said while bowing his head, and then he ran away.
Huh???⊠itâs not what I mean. I said you could say it in a case where you really canât do it physiologically.
You canât use it unnecessarily and become a trauma makerâŠâŠ you understand what I mean right?!
