"My husband..." The wife in her thirties smiled as she talked about her husband, telling about some things between them with a hint of happiness.
Hasegawa sat opposite, holding a small notebook in his hand, quickly writing down a few words.
And Kasumigaoka Utaha sat next to Hasegawa, holding her chin with one hand and listening to the words of the wife opposite, occasionally looking down at what Hasegawa wrote down, with a trace of confusion in her eyes from time to time.
Hasegawa said first that this kind of material collection was his own will, and Kasumigaoka Utaha, at the beginning, wanted to follow just to see Hasegawa's ideas and have more contact with Hasegawa. But she didn't expect that these materials, which she originally thought had no effect on her writing, actually provided her with a lot of inspiration.
"Thank you for your help." Hasegawa closed the notebook and bowed gratefully to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. It's nothing. Besides, I've always wanted to talk to someone about these things, but I'm a little embarrassed. I'm very grateful that you can listen to me." The wife said very politely.
After leaving here, Hasegawa looked through the notebook in his hand. He had been collecting materials for several days in a row. In addition to the wife mentioned above, there were other people who were mostly couples of different ages, including newlyweds, couples in their thirties, couples in their forties, couples in their fifties, retired people, and even divorced people living alone or widowed.
Hasegawa almost used up a thick notebook just to write down some basic information.
At the same time, Hasegawa also found that although women's rights are prevalent in China, some women in Japan are also beginning to pursue independence. Of course, women in Japan pursue independence. Although there is a little bit of feminism, they pursue true equality, not the deformed pastoral feminism in China.
At the same time, some women in Japan are more sinister. After getting married, they set traps for their husbands to fall into, and then divorce their husbands and make their husbands leave the house.
Especially the last point, Hasegawa realized that although the status of women in Japan is relatively low, women have a very big advantage when it comes to divorce. Generally speaking, husbands are almost the kind of people who leave the house with nothing.
At this time, Hasegawa realized how kind-hearted Mrs. Yuigahama was when she divorced. If Mrs. Yuigahama had a decisive attitude, she could even give the money that her ex-husband borrowed in her name to her ex-husband. However, Mrs. Yuigahama was too kind-hearted and actually took on those debts herself.
Hasegawa couldn't help shaking his head. He felt a little strange. Didn't Mrs. Yuigahama consider his and her daughter's position at the beginning? If it weren't for Hasegawa, things wouldn't be so easy to solve.
Of course, if it weren't for Hasegawa, Mrs. Yuigahama and the others might have a harder time. When something is going to happen, with Shizuka Hiratsuka's personality, she will probably intervene in her students' affairs, and not consider other things. But she should solve the problems of the Yakuza.
However, although Hasegawa complained a little about Mrs. Yuigahama's kindness, it was precisely because of Mrs. Yuigahama's kindness that Hasegawa liked her the most.
Hasegawa was married in his previous life, but he met a wife who respected rural women's rights and finally divorced. Although he could not be said to be kicked out of the house, it was not much different. Therefore, in Hasegawa's view now, women can be not beautiful, but they must have a good character and must be kind. In this way, they will not encounter some bad things after marriage.
Think about those women who ask their husbands to hand over their bank cards after marriage and leave only a little pocket money for their husbands, but on holidays, they also ask their husbands to give them gifts and surprises. Those who earn less think their husbands are useless. Those whose husbands work hard to earn money think their husbands do not care about them and do not know how to take care of them. They spend money lavishly, but their husbands cannot spend money on their parents. Parents from her mother's side can come to live for a month, but parents from her husband's side cannot come to live for a day or two.
To be honest, Hasegawa has a shadow in his heart. If he had not traveled to this world and met Mrs. Yuigahama, if he had not known Mrs. Yuigahama's character after spending some time with her, Hasegawa might have wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, even in Japan.
"Hasegawa, junior. Is the interview over?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked with a smile, standing next to Hasegawa.
"Well, it's over. The interviewees arranged by Editor Machida have all been interviewed. Next, I have to go back to create." Hasegawa nodded and closed the small notebook in his hand.
"What a pity, it's over so soon." Kasumigaoka Utaha said regretfully.
"I don't feel regretful, because I have already got what I wanted." Hasegawa smiled faintly.
"But I regret that I didn't get what I wanted at all. I have been with junior Hasegawa for so long, but I haven't been able to bring our relationship closer." Kasumigaoka Utaha was very direct, staring at Hasegawa with burning eyes.
Hasegawa couldn't help but frowned: "Senior Kasumigaoka, I've already said that it's impossible for us. Don't waste your time."
"We haven't even started yet, how do you know it's impossible? Besides, I just had a certain liking for Junior Hasegawa at the beginning, but after spending some time together, watching Junior Hasegawa's serious look when collecting materials, I found that I really liked Junior Hasegawa."
"...Don't joke, Senior Kasumigaoka. I think your so-called liking is just a superficial love for appearance, or a simple attraction. If I wasn't like this now, but was very ugly, Senior Kasumigaoka probably wouldn't pay attention to me at all." Hasegawa shook his head and said very directly.
"Because of your beauty?" Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and thought, one hand on her chest, the other hand gently touched her chin: "Hasegawa-san is right. It was because I suddenly saw Hasegawa-san's face during the Yulong Flag Competition and thought he was so handsome, and then I began to have a good impression of him."
"Right, let me put it this way. Kasumigaoka-san, whether the appearance is beautiful or not is not important, what is important is an interesting soul."
"Interesting soul? It's a strange way of saying it, but it seems not bad." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded.
"So, Kasumigaoka-san, we are really not suitable. You just saw my appearance. You should find someone with an interesting soul." Hasegawa breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"But, I think Hasegawa-san's soul is very interesting."
"Uh."
"Maybe at the beginning, just like Hasegawa-san said, I had a certain liking for Hasegawa-san because of his appearance, but that was just the beginning. Later, I found that Hasegawa-san had a very interesting soul, so at that time, I began to like Hasegawa-san. This is no longer just a simple appearance. So, under the premise of having an interesting soul, I will naturally like someone with an outstanding appearance. Hasegawa-san." Kasumigaoka Utaha said to Hasegawa with a smile.
"..." Hasegawa was a little speechless: "Okay, senior sister Kasumigaoka, the material collection has been completed, so let's stop here."
"Wait, junior brother Hasegawa."
"Anything else?"
"Junior brother Hasegawa, I think the materials you collected are also very useful to me, so can you lend me the materials you collected?" Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed to the notebook in Hasegawa's hand.
Hasegawa frowned slightly: "Since senior sister Kasumigaoka thinks these materials are useful, why didn't you take notes when you collected materials before?"
"Well, because at the beginning, I really didn't think these materials would help my writing, but when I found that they were helpful to me, the material collection was almost finished. It was too late to record at that time, and junior brother Hasegawa happened to have records, so I didn't make any records." Kasumigaoka Utaha said very naturally.
"Sorry, I still need this information for the time being. After I finish writing my work, if Senior Kasumigaoka needs it, I will give it to you then."
"But, I need it urgently. I haven't even started writing the third volume of Love Metronome yet, and Editor Machida is very anxious."
"I'm sorry, I need it urgently too." Hasegawa shook his head and refused decisively.
"How about this, let's read it together? Let's get together when writing." Kasumigaoka Utaha told her plan this time.
"Sorry, no."
"Hasegawa, even if you don't accept my confession, I am also your pursuer. Are you so cruel to reject me directly?" Kasumigaoka Utaha said, looking at Hasegawa with tears in her eyes.
"I'll find a printing company later and print a new copy of this information for you." Hasegawa shook the notebook in his hand and came up with such a solution.
Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She didn't expect Hasegawa to come up with such an idea. How much did Hasegawa hate her to do this? She was obviously a very charming girl.
