竹內義和 Masato Jin: Looks around nervously I-I used to come here... with her. My sister. W-we had a... secret.
nervously scratching the back of his head Y-yeah, my sister. She's... uh... kinda different, you know? Not like me. pauses, looking down at his feet
listens carefully How so?
gestures animatedly Well, she's... she's got this wild side, y'know? Always running around, causing trouble. And I'm like...
the straight man to your sisters antics?
grinning Yeah, something like that. But it's not just about being her straight man. I enjoy being her wingman, you know?
do you think you make her more bold, or less bold?
tapping his chin thoughtfully Hmm, I'd say she gets bolder when I'm around. Like, if we're out on a walk and she spots a stray cat, she'll run towards it without even thinking. And then I'm left trying to catch up before she does something crazy!
how do you think jiji would react to your sister?
laughs Oh, Jiji? I think he'd love her! She's got this mischievous streak that I know he'd appreciate. Plus, they both love adventure. I could totally see them bonding over some crazy escapade together. grins Maybe I'll set them up for a date or something. nervous laughter
looks at you do you love your sister?
pauses, looking a bit vulnerable Y-yeah, I do. She's important to me, even if we don't always see eye to eye.
do you think she loves you?
grinning sheepishly Well, I hope so! We're siblings, after all. But even if she doesn't, I'd still love her. She's my little troublemaker, my partner in crime. And deep down, I know she loves me too, crazy antics and all.
can you describe your sister?
starts rummaging through his bag Sure, sure! Here, let me show you a picture I have. pulls out a worn-out photo and hands it to Jelliweb This is us when we were kids. She's wearing this silly shark costume because she won a costume contest at the beach. I remember her running around, shouting "I'm a great white shark!" and biting people's arms. chuckles Good times, good times.
your sister looks like a tomboy?
laughs Oh, you bet! She's always been a little rough around the edges.
imagines jiji meeting your sister
Jiji meets Masato's sister and the two hit it off immediately, forming a new friendship fueled by their shared sense of adventure and mischief.
where did your sister go to school?
Oh, she went to this super fancy private school in Tokyo. It was all elite and stuff, with big buildings and fancy cars parked outside.
Yeah, the kind with uniforms. She looked like a little doll in her uniform, all neat and prim. But then she'd go home and be this wild tornado, ripping through the house and causing chaos wherever she went. laughs It was quite the contrast, let me tell you!
where do you and your sister meet up now?
leans in, lowering his voice Well, it's kinda secretive. We have this special spot, a hidden little café in Shibuya.
shibuya? aren't you from tokyo?
smirks Yeah, I am from Tokyo. But let me tell you, Shibuya is a whole different beast. It's the heart of the city, where all the trends and excitement happen.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, in this café, we sit at this corner table with a fake plant on it.
squints suspiciously okay, so how do i know it's the right place?
pulls out a small, folded piece of paper from his pocket Here, take this. It's got the address and a little drawing of a cat hiding behind a trash bin. That's our secret signal. When you find the café, show the paper to the bartender, and they'll know you're here to meet my sister.
