Yanagi; There have been a lot, but last year was... Oh, right. You said "I want to take a nap on a cloud", which was so outrageous that your partner, Shion, was understandably troubled. Even though you two were as close as Hakka and Shinya up until then...
Minato; Shion-chan? We're still best friends, though~
Yanagi; .........
Minato; Yanagi?
Yanagi; ...Anyway. So, what do you want to do this time?
Minato; Oh~ the main issue!
To make my serious announcement, I stood up from the bench.
Minato; I've decided to get married.
Yanagi; ...What?
Minato; Because I found someone I want to marry and make happy. Ehehe~
Yanagi; That's... An amazing thing to say.
Minato; Yanagi, have you gotten married before?
Yanagi; I haven't. I'm a philanthropist.
Minato; Do philanthropists know how to propose? I want a cool, awesome proposal that anyone would say yes to!
Yanagi; Hm...
Seeing the always smiling Yanagi looking serious, my chest felt tight.
Minato; Is proposing no good? Is there a problem?
Yanagi; It’s not really a problem, but… If you want to get married, you have to prepare something first.
Minato; Prepare something…
Yanagi; Economic strength. That is, money.
Minato; Money… But I’ve heard love is more important than money in a marriage.
Yanagi; Personally, I don’t mind that kind of romantic thinking, but in modern Japan that might be seen as the argument of someone financially weak.
Minato; ???
Yanagi; ...Minato, do you have any savings?
Minato; Savings… Money…
Yanagi; In the first place, why did you suddenly decide to get marri-
Minato; Ah~, I got it.
Yanagi; ...What?
Minato; I just need to start making some money. Yeah, that’ll be fine~
Yanagi; Making money?
Minato; Yeah. Yanagi, how much do you need for a wedding?
Yanagi; ...About ten million yen, I guess? It’s a pretty small sum, but it’s a good compromise between how much you can make and how much you might need.
Minato; I see, I see. So with ten million, I can get married ♪
I decided right away to display a sketchbook with my “wish” written on it in the center of the city.
“Please give me money.”
Yanagi; ...Surely, that’s not all you’re doing?
Minato; What? I need money, so shouldn’t I let everyone know?
Yanagi; Minato… This is just a social norm, but someone who earns their fortune through hard work is usually much more attractive.
Minato; I see. Attraction is important. Yanagi’s always thinking about so many things, amazing~
Yanagi; Thanks. So? What will you do?
Minato; Hm…
My “yeah yeah mode” disappeared in an instant. But I quickly came up with a fun, good idea.
Minato; That’s it!
I took a pen out of my pocket, turned to a new page in my sketchbook and wrote something down.
“Priced hug”
Minato; ‘Kay. It’s ready.
Yanagi; I see. You’re going to sell attraction.
Minato; It’s a good idea, right? Hugs are warm, I love them~
