Wow, this is great. I'm always weak to any story that depicts the Hikago characters in their middle-to-old age, and it's fascinating thinking of Ogata as being formerly married and a father.

Also, hahaha, the conversation between Shindou and Ogata at the bar is so excellent that I'd have to copy-paste the whole thing to quote back all my favorite bits.

I kind of want to know what sort of historical romance novel Touya is writing. XD
