Talking with Local People

I went to Cafe Yamaneko. I met the cafe owner’s mother. She told me that she knew my neighbor, Kanayama-san, because he had been her classmate when she was in junior high school. Therefore, I could not concentrate very much on reading. I visited Bar Nagomi, where I met Daiki-san and Dai-chan. I ended up joining their group. About 30 minutes later, Shotaro-san and Kurume-san joined us. I could not figure out when I should leave. It was a fairly enjoyable time, but I couldn’t really be myself. I returned home just before 9 pm and had gyoza. During dinner, I talked about many things with my mom. I fell asleep around midnight.
