The location for the date was in the Asakusa District, just one subway stop away, at a music bar with a bar function.
When Fujiwara Reya was working part-time, he had performed here a few times and became quite familiar with the mama-san of the restaurant.
"Ah, hello Mr. Fujiwara."
Upon entering the store, the originally listless mama-san raised her chubby arm and greeted him with high spirits.
"Hello, Sister Eri." Fujiwara Reya nodded in response.
"Why are you here today?" the mama-san asked with a hint of anticipation.
"I'm meeting someone." Fujiwara Reya checked his watch, there were five minutes until twelve, so he smiled and cut the small talk short, "Time's up, I'll go find a seat, goodbye Sister Eri."
"Goodbye!" the mama-san, chin resting on the counter, said listlessly.
He walked from the bar to the dining area, scanning the surroundings with his eyes.
