Ran Into My Mom

September 22, 2026

I cooked bento for my monthly artwork project. I left two bento boxes for my father and mother, but I did not say a single word to my father. I went to Cafe Yamaneko as usual and then visited Nagomi Bar. I returned home and left my bag on the basket of a bicycle that was parked outside. I visited Tachimachi-ya Bar and then moved on to Ajia-tei Bar. I was astonished because my mom was sitting at the counter there for some reason. Why? I wanted to be alone, but in the end, I talked with my mom and another customer. I wondered if Miki-san was my mother’s friend, but it turned out that my mom had met her for the first time that day. She was quite a fun and easygoing person so we laughed a lot. After Miki-san left, I continued drinking with my mom until around midnight. After I came back home, the price of Bitcoin pumped significantly, so I was extremely excited and started trading. I fell asleep around 1:45 am.
