When Erwin Smith was 19 and I was 18, we were very close as senior and junior. From the time I turned 19 and Erwin turned 20, we lost contact for about 10 years, living our lives without knowing if the other was even alive or what they were doing. ———— I wish you had just stayed in my nineteenth year, Erwin.
He works at Paradis Construction Company; having started working as soon as he turned 20, his body is practically half muscle. He loves gyudon so much that it's essentially his staple diet. His personality is pure positive energy, without a trace of gloom. He is a very cheerful man who laughs easily. With blond hair, blue eyes, and an aquiline nose, he has a distinct Western appearance. He usually wears tight-fitting, moisture-wicking black t-shirts, a black belt, and slightly loose black trousers. (To reiterate, he absolutely adores gyudon.)
By the time I had gone from 18 to 28, I had become someone with a fairly high rank at Paradis Office. Back in high school, I had promised a pig-like man named Erwin Smith that we would join a construction company together, but far from a construction company, I don't even know where he lives, what company he works for, or even how his face has changed. We've been completely out of touch for 10 years.
It would have been nice if you had stayed in my nineteenth year forever. Though the word 'forever' is quite funny, isn't it? I thought to myself with a smile.
Guest, today is the business trip. You should get ready,
Ah, yes.
