I Was Possessed By An Unknown Manga - Chapter 380
380 – Akagi Minami (28)
The woman is twenty-eight.
The age at which people start to be called Arasa (アラサー).
In fact, Minami didn’t really care about the fact that she was single.
From her childhood, she received her early training as a kunoichi and was ready to sacrifice herself for her master, Lady Kumiko.
However, as she grew older and watched her friends she started getting married one by one and started a happy family, she naturally began to feel a sense of crisis.
From noble mtl dot come
Well, if she didn’t plan on living alone for the rest of her life, she would have to get married someday.
Shinji’s older brother, who was more like a brother to her than her, her biological siblings, had already gotten married and started a family.
On the other hand, since she had no experience dating a man yet, her mother was extremely harsh to her, asking when she would bring her boyfriend when she returned home.
As a result, the number of fights she had with her mother increased, and now she can’t even remember the last time she went to her parents ‘house her her her her.
Sweet!
“… I’ve been there.”
After a hard day’s work today, she returned to Mansion, a luxury tower where she lives alone, and muttered this as she entered the unlit entrance.
As a servant, unlike the days when she lived with a young lady, no one welcomes her when she returns home.
She thought about getting a pet to relieve her loneliness, but considering her busy schedule, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to give her enough affection even if she got one of her, so she gave up.
She threw her exhausted body onto the sofa, thinking that she was already doing nothing but she didn’t want to do anything more, and turned on the TV as was her habit.
These days, with the development of OTT, the number of people watching regular terrestrial broadcasting has decreased significantly, but she actually liked terrestrial broadcasting because she did not have to choose the channel.
“That celebrity appears often these days.”
Minami muttered that while absentmindedly watching the year-end broadcast on TV, and she belatedly heard the sound of her stomach her her growling her and got up her tired body her.
“Well, eat…” ” .”
It’s annoying to look in the refrigerator and make something to eat.
There is a way for her to order food delivered through Uber Eats, but she also ordered food delivered through Uber Eats yesterday, the day before yesterday, and three days ago.
She wanted to eat food that felt a little more human warmth, so despite her annoyance, she got up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen.
Wooow!
The refrigerator is still running today with the compressor making a loud noise.
I opened the refrigerator and freezer doors at the same time, but what was inside was only leftover delivered food or frozen food.
Since there was no food that felt the warmth of the person she wanted, she decided to search the refrigerator a little more.
“Ah… It’s past its expiration date.”
Mayonnaise that I can’t even remember when I bought it.
I’m tempted to throw it in the trash, but I put it back where it was, thinking that it might come in handy someday.
After rummaging through the refrigerator for a while, she found some eggs that were barely past their expiration date and some vegetables that looked edible even though they were slightly spoiled, so she decided to make egg fried rice.
Widely! Widely! Widely! Tak!
As a current kunoichi, she cuts vegetables with fancy knife skills and pours egg water to coat the grains of instant rice.
During her school days, she often prepared her own lunch, so her cooking itself was not difficult.
Cheeeeek!
She quickly made egg fried rice using a home wok, and without any decorations, she put the fried rice on a plate and brought it to the living room table in front of the TV.
“… I will eat well.”
And then take a bite.
“…”
The first thing she felt on the tip of her tongue was the unique fluffy texture of egg-coated fried rice.
Immediately after, the unique scent of green onion oil hit the tip of her nose, and the finely chopped vegetables were chewed crunchily along with the rice grains.
It was truly well-made egg fried rice.
But she put down her spoon after taking a few spoonfuls.
“… This is not it.”
What she really wanted was not fried rice with human warmth, but human warmth itself.
“Huh.”
Perhaps because it was the end of the year, she shed tears today because of the loneliness that was so painful to her bones.
After being single for most of her 28-year-old life, this was the first time she thought about getting a boyfriend.

January 1st.
As the New Year approaches, everyone makes plans for the year.
Usually, the probability of it lasting more than a month is very low, but people always repeat the same mistakes.
But Minami was different.
Minami, who has been a do-gooder since she was young, started taking action right away.
“Dating apps… Are probably out.”
If you want to meet a man right now, you can use a matching app that is common these days, but there is no way the man you meet through this app is the right person in the first place.
Moreover, since she was quite old, she couldn’t waste her time having a casual relationship like her children did.
It would be better if it was a serious meeting with marriage as the prerequisite.
So, Minami immediately ruled out the possibility and began searching for information related to her marital activities on the Internet.
‘They say there are a lot fewer people getting married these days, but these sites are still active.’
In fact, until now, she thought her marriage was a story from a distant country.
So, since she didn’t have much knowledge about marriage, everything felt new to Minami.
‘It’s a format where both men and women pay a certain amount of money each month and participate in parties hosted by the site.’
Since only the meeting place and food were prepared and the rest was left to the participants, it seemed difficult for people who were not sociable to leave.
Of course, I could ‘play’ that kind of person, but I didn’t think it was realistic to marry someone I met with a made-up personality in the first place.
A kind person who knows his or her her, her her original personality her and is willing to accept complaints when work is stressful …
After setting the minimum standard, I felt like I could see some sort of way out.
‘The price range for the gatherings also varies widely. If you want to find a good spouse, you have to pay more.’
It seemed like there was some kind of ulterior motive behind it, but isn’t that how regretful people spend money?
“Hmm, hmm.”
She was only planning to take a quick look around, but she almost registered her card number on the site without realizing it, so she came to her senses and put down her card.
‘No, not this.’
However, registering on a matchmaking site right away seemed like a woman who was desperate to get married.
She said she wasn’t in that much of a hurry, but she seemed to have been in a very sentimental mood yesterday.
She decided to go back to square one and start thinking about how to find a proper boyfriend rather than getting married.
Toorururu-
“Hello?”
***
“So, you want to know how to date the right guy?”
Nod.
The person Minami summoned as her counselor was Ayase, a classmate of the same age and from the same school.
Originally, the two people had no contact with each other because they were in different classes, but they quickly became close in third grade because of their common denominator, Kim Yoo-seong, and very similar personalities.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Well, I think you’d be good at giving dating advice.”
“… “I had that kind of image?”
Ayase muttered that and looked at Minami with a puzzled expression. Then, after sighing, she spoke.
“In the first place, Minami, what is the standard for a proper man for you?”
“… Someone who doesn’t cheat, only looks at me, and is pampered when I come home from work?”
“That’s too abstract an expression. Isn’t there something like an ideal type or something like that?”
Then Minami thought for a moment and spoke shyly.
“I like people younger than me.”
“If you are young, how young?”
“Roughly… “
“Roughly?”
“… “About fifteen years old?”
At that moment, Ayase’s expression changed from worry to contempt.
“Minami, were you in Shotacon?”
“No, I just asked you to tell me your ideal type…”
“If you suddenly lower the age that much, the story won’t work at all. If you’re 15 years apart, you’re out of the dating stage before marriage.”
“… “I’m sorry.”
As Minami lowered her head with an expression of disapproval, Ayase let out a sigh and opened her mouth.
“First, look for men around you. It’s probably easier to date someone you know rather than someone you don’t know. You can date more naturally.”
“… Okay, thanks for the advice.”
“Then I’ll just leave. It’s almost time for the New Year’s broadcast.”
“I know you’re busy, but thank you for taking the time, Ayase. Next time we meet, I’ll buy you something to eat.”
“Okay, you’re welcome too.”
The two people said goodbye and parted ways in front of the cafe.
After sending Ayase away, Minami, left alone, looked up at the sky in despair.
If legal shota existed in reality, like legal loli that often appears in cartoons and animations, we wouldn’t have to worry about this.
It was right then.
“Huh? Minami?”
Kim Yoo-seong, who happened to be passing by the cafe, ran into her.
