Hiking and Travel
Atobe-kun has a vulnerable side. Perhaps I'm being overly suspicious, but why am I seeing it so early into our new acquaintance? What am I reading into the things he does and says that shouldn't be read? These business trips may be for the best at this time.
Hiking with Yamato-kun was enjoyable. The weather was colder than it ought to be at this time of year. It was a good change from Kinoko's company, good though that is. Yamato-kun has interesting things to say, often.
Of the three modes of travel businessmen use, my preferred mode is the Shinkansen. At least one can get work done on the train, spacious as it is. Unfortunately, the Sapporo-Kumamoto trip would take too long on the train, but most of the shorter trips (Osaka-Nagoya, Sendai-Tokyo-Kyoto, Osaka-Okayama-Hiroshima-Fukuoka) are more convenient by rail.
In any case, I will be very busy these three weeks talking to people who have already made up their minds to oppose each other. Those who wish to reach me either have my personal contact information or may leave a message with X-Corporation. If only one could change minds as easily as one could polarize metal ... but that would not be true progress.
Mother is coming to collect Kinoko soon. The apartment will feel very empty without her, but for such a long period of absence, I cannot leave her alone here, and she distracts from getting work done before leaving.
