幼馴染(Osananajimi-Childhood friend)

Episode 1: Childhood Friend

 My name is Yusuke Matsuda, and I'm a childhood friend of Kyoko Hanazawa, who lives in the apartment building that stands next door.


 This Kyoko Hanazawa is the picture of a woman with good looks and a clear head. In addition, her outward appearance is so good that she is trusted by the teachers at school and will be the president of the student council in April, the month after she starts her third year. That's why, even if I say the same thing, everything Kyoko Hanazawa says will be trusted, but if I say the opposite, I will be ostracized by the class.


 But for some reason, this woman is a queen to me.


 She would come into my house without permission, sit on the sofa in the living room, tuck her proud black hair, which had grown to her armpits, to one side, and tap lightly on the shoulder on the other side. I would stand back and rub her shoulder. Kyoko's pride and joy is her black hair, which she started to grow out when she was in sixth grade, and she always says that she takes a lot of time to maintain it. She always says that she takes a lot of time and effort to maintain her black hair, and even as a man, I can see that it has a wonderful shine.


 She said she was thirsty, so I brought her some water.


"What is this? It's tap water. I can't drink this stuff. If you don't have mineral water, I can drink juice." said she.


 If you don't have bread, why don't you eat cake? That was the line of some Marie.


 When my mother came back from out of town, that Marie smiled and said, "Yu's mother is very kind.


"Yu's mother, sorry to bother you.


"Oh, Kyoko-chan, please take your time.


 And so on. Then, as her mother retreated into the kitchen, she whispered.


"What are you doing? I'm thirsty. Go get me some juice or something.


 Somebody should do something about this girl.


 It was a good thing that I happened to have some juice in the fridge, otherwise I would have been in a much worse mood.



"Yusuke, your name looks a lot like Yusaku Matsuda, why do you have such a country face?


 I don't know. Who's Yusaku Matsuda?


"Who's Yusaku Matsuda?


"Oh, you don't know Yusaku Matsuda? He's a hot star from the 1980s.


"How the fuck do 'you' know about that?


"Not 'you' ,I'm Hanazawa-san. I don't want Yusuke to call me 'you.'


"Okay, so how come Hanazawa-san knows about such an old actor?"


"He was on TV yesterday. He was on TV yesterday, wasn't he in Detective Story? That last scene was amazing.


That was great.


"What? A child like you wouldn't understand.


"Okay,Okay.


"You only have to answer once!


 Well, it's always like this.
