Even though they should have been close in age, sometimes Kusamakura would use words that were a little old fas.h.i.+oned. He didn’t use many western loan words. He wondered if he had been raised by his grandparents, or really liked period dramas. He spoke of the pre-war days as if they were only a little while go, it gave him an otherworldly atmosphere, and amused him.

“Do you do ma.s.sage?”

“No, even though I certainly have the qualities to do that sort of work, I don’t. I work at a call center.”

Whenever he talked about his job, he was mostly asked about how he worked, did he use a computer, or how could he tell if he made a typo if he couldn’t see the keyboard. Since the people he worked with already knew, and all he currently did was go to and from work, he rarely had opportunities to talk to people in the first place, and wasn’t usually asked these sort of things on the spot. He prepared himself for Kusamakura to do the same, but his reply was simple.

“I see. A&h.e.l.lip;call center&h.e.l.lip;huh. There sure are a lot of options nowadays.”

Tatsumi blinked at his unexpected reply.
