Densha Otoko - The Train Man - Mission.5 "Please don't put me in that kind of mood"

The thread residents were fascinated with the Benoist Tea that Train Man drank from the Hermes teacups. There even appeared a few brave souls who swore to search out a store and buy the tea themselves.

126 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 11:55

I asked one of my friends who likes English tea about Benoist,
but they'd never drank any
They said it's really hard to find & really expensive
I knew she was something else when she sent you Hermes cups,
but this...

140 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 13:41

Apparently you can only buy it at Matsuzakaya in Ginza
There's an exclusive salon there, too

141 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 13:47

I tried calling Benoist
And it's exactly like >>140 said
0k, I'm dying leaving for the city right now
It's like a suicide depression-bombing; I leave the rest up to youz

147 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 14:09

i found benoist

150 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 14:29

Hey, now, you don't all think that just by drinking zummy tea, you're gonna find happiness, do you?

159 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 14:44

You're going to buy a PC with her next time, right?
You can take her to Akihabara lol

161 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 14:47

don't show hermes too much of the real you when you go to akihabara~~
no going into figurine shops, okay~~ lol

165 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 14:49

Why dont u buy the parts and build it for her at her house?
Then u can be her single source of tech support, LOL

171 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 15:00

Okay, now let's choose:
desktop
notebook
Mac
self-built
Let's pick the one that we think is (・∀・)nice for different situations
This is the one thing we can actually be useful for

178 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 15:19

make hermes an akihabara nerdette

179 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 15:24

And then Hermes turns into a 2channeler.

180 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 15:25

And she finds about about all this.

189 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 16:02

okaayyy, here's the complete list.
・MAC (iBook)
・buy the parts (Train gets to do all the tech support)
・use the net and internet
・router, modem, line (FTTH) are all choices
・play DVDs (does it need to burn them?)
・notebook form factor
・LongHorn-ready
・DL movies and get arrested
so, what kind of machine can do all that...

195 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 16:36

like a fish in water

198 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:16

But it kinda depends... on how he is when he shows her how to use it...
he IS a resident of this thread, after all ('A`)urgh
T: "And this here is called the motherboard..."
(breathing heavily, trying hard yet still explaining happily)
H: "...oh....." (obviously not understanding + ridiculously + bored)
T: "This has 7 PC slots, so it's got lots of room for expansion..."
(doesn't notice, continues explaining, his eyes sparkling)
H: "......um, I just remembered something I have to do; I'm going home;
thanks for today" (forcibly goes home)
T: "Eh? ...ah, I'll walk you~~" (chases after her, but trips along the way and is left behind)
('A`)urgh

199 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:20

Uwaahahahaha, I've died been there and come back - Matsuzakaya in Ginza
I bought a can of URL Grey and drank it on the 4th floor
...u,uuuu,uumm, is this............ really tea?
It smells so nice, and the taste is... so deep... Hermes...

201 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:22

>>199
Ooh, how was it?
Did you go alone?

202 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:22

>>199
u move fast...

203 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:24

>>199
Get close to Ginza → slight headache
Arrive in Ginza → bad headache
Get close to Matsuzakaya → nausea, dizziness
Arrive at Matsuzakaya → legs shaking, cold sweat
Arrive at the tea counter → foam at the mouth and pass out

208 Name: 199 Date: 04/04/19 17:31

>>201
Well, I went with Hermes, so uwaaawhatareyou doingstopi-- ←got run over by Train, apparently
No, all kidding aside, it was like the old sunglasses guy from 'Gintama' in Jump Comics
was sitting there drinking iced tea all alone, lol
I ordered iced Earl Grey and it came with two rectangular cookies
but since I was being stared at by women who seemed like royalty and like Hermes,
I just quickly drank the one cup and retreated
I think they had tea at the register, too?
>>206
One 100g canister was $10-$20, depending on the type of leaves
They were selling other things, like chazuke and scones

212 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:35

Did it seem like the type of store that someone like me who wears Akihabara-style clothes can enter?

213 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:36

【Ginza】Strange Spring - Numerous Single Males Lose Consciousness in Tea Shop【Matsuzakaya】
At the Ginza branch of Matsuzakaya in Tokyo, male customers lost consciousness one after the
other as they attempted to visit the tea shop. As many as 16 men have collapsed this evening,
and the cause is as yet unknown. The men are all unacquainted with one another, and have nothing
in common other than the fact that they are all single. There are a few among them who
appear to be dazed, mumbling nonsense about things like "Hermes", "Train" and "Dhalsim".
Those affected have been transported to a local hospital.

Employees of the store were bewildered, stating "None of them are the type of customer
who can usually come here; we have no idea what is happening. We can't provide comments,
or counter-measures. We don't know what to do."

Inside the bustling store, the succession of unexpected occurences caused many shoppers to stop
and look on worriedly.

214 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:36

well i guess i'm not going to the benoist salon
with models of hermes and train any more

217 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 17:40

Did >>199 fall for Hermes?

225 Name: 199 Date: 04/04/19 17:48

It might be rare because it's hard to find, not because it's expensive
>>212
I think it might be best if you didn't
FYI I died went in a suit
>>214
It wasn't bloodthirst, but you'd get an uncomfortable chill if you weren't gentlemanly and refined
I don't think Trainykins's panting and rustling about would be very good...
>>217
If Trainykins isn't going to confess, then maybe I'l- ;y=ー( ゜д゜)・∵. *bang!*

Shall I |_|pload a pic for you?

Is this tea lecture ever really going to come in handy?

282 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 18:15

English Tea just has to be Orange Pekoe

288 Name: 199 Date: 04/04/19 18:18

Huh? Orange pekoe?
The one on its side is E Grey...?
Crap, I brought the one next to it ('A`)urgh

307 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 18:28

I came straight home and got back faster than usual (・∀・)
I haven't mailed her yet today...

309 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 18:29

when i think of this board's reaction to tea and coffee...
('A`) urgh

310 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 18:30

Seems like you're all having fun, lol
I'm gonna go wash through the logs *waves*

333 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 18:41

I'm going to mail her and ask about her budget for the new PC, and what she wants to use it for
Last time she said she just wanted to be able to surf the net and do email

338 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 18:43

I skimmed through it~
You did some research on Benoist Tea, huh.
And someone even went and bought it!? Wow!

349 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 18:48

>>337
It might just be my imagination, but lately I think
she's definitely cuter than she was when we first met... ( ´ー`)

352 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 18:49

>>349
If you say any more I'm gonna totally lose my temper

353 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 18:49

( ´ー`) ←this face
dammitt!!

369 Name: 199 Date: 04/04/19 19:00

Hermes Manor + knowledgable Hermes making it + all alone with her + matching cups?
With that combination it'd be so delicous I'd probably die, you know? The Benoist Pekoe.
Seriously, it's like, dummy, stupid
That tea over there - just die gimme _| ̄|○

370 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 19:01

>>358
Was it (゚д゚)yummeh?
Apparently what I drank was something called Darjeeling
Ah, and those things that came out with the muffins, those might have been scones...
I thought they were pretty big for cookies

377 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 19:05

>>371
I don't think we'll buy the PC in Akihabara
I can't build one myself, either...

376 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:05

Hurry up and confess> Train

381 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 19:10

>>376
Lately that's all I think about
It seems like we're a lot closer than we were when we first met,
but I bet when it comes to dating, she'd have second thoughts about me
I'm definitely not good enough for her...
But I wonder what will happen if I don't confess and we just stay as is
Can we stay friends? We prolly can,
but what if I confess and she says no, and then she'd put distance between us?
We're finally getting along so well, I'm scared that I'll never be able to see her again
Most importantly, if she says no, I'd never be able to face her again... _| ̄|○

386 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:14

>>381
And you call yourself a man?
If you really love her, then if she dumps you,
you just attack again and again and again, no matter how many times it takes

387 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:14

Put distance between you two just because she dumped you? What is this, junior high?

394 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:17

>>381
I don't think there's anything to rush for...
If you're meeting her regularly and it seems to be working
then there's no reason to rush the love confession.
Altho, I guess if 6 months or a year pass this way
that'd be bad

401 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:19

Soon you won't be able to stop yourself from confessing
That's when you should confess
It's not something you force yourself to do
Don't let the peanut gallery rush you into it

417 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:24

Next it's Train's turn to invite her out, right?

420 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 19:25

(((((((( ;゚Д゚))))))) SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE

train lives with his parents, right?

426 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:28

I propose that Hermes will get good at computers
And, I propose that they'll get closer
and start coming and going from each other's houses
Don't forget to clean out your bookmarks and clear your browser history!!!!!!!!

445 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:40

Let's stop saying stuff that'll rush him, okay
No matter how you look at it, I get the feeling that Train's own decisions
will have a better outcome than our glaringly thread-resident-y advice
('A`) urgh

484 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 19:57

I love tea and I've collected all different kinds of tea leaves.
I told that to a woman and she said
"Gross, you'll make the tea all filthy. Stop drinking it immediately; boil tap water and drink that."
That's how I am, but I'm still doing my best at life.
I haven't been home in awhile, Mom, but I'll be there soon...

497 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 20:05

Now that I'm full
I'm gonna text her (`・ω・´)

503 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:09

>>484
You know what I think, I think that woman's the one making tea filthy

506 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:11

>>503
You said it.
You really said it.

510 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 20:15

Sent (`・ω・´)
>>506
I totally agree

If she came to my house,
my parents would prolly faint...( ´ー`)
But I can't invite her unless I clean out my room
Maybe I can rent a storage unit...

The Akihabara nerds had been lurking during the subject of fashion, but now that the topic of Hermes's computer had come up, the advice flowed freely.

542 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 20:32

Her reply came.
She says she just needs to be able to surf the net and email
She's got a budget of about $2000
Wow, she's rich
She says she wants a notebook PC.
With Windows
And she doesn't need to be able to watch DVDs
And
wants to do it after payday

551 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 20:35

Asking whether she wants a a router or a modem for her notebook
is a normal thing to have, right?

552 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:35

Sony VAIO
NEC Lavie
Toshiba Dyna
are all pretty stable
Personally I recommend NEC.

567 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:44

It was a short time after they choose a laptop computer together.
A call from Hermes:
H: "Train, I don't know how to work this"
T: (With no reason to turn her down) "I'll be right there"
As Train is setting it up, Hermes falls asleep. Train quietly goes home
H: "Train, I want to turn my CD into MP3s"
T: "I'll be right there"
H: "Don't sneak home again this time"
The setting up continues into the middle of the night.
H: "Now give me myself some tech support, please"
T: (With no reason to turn her down) "I'll support you for the rest of our lives"

575 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:46

NEC's warranty and tech support aren't bad
If you buy it online at NEC Direct you can get one without all the unwanted software pre-installed
I get the feeling that VAIO PCs are needlessly expensive but women seem to like them

578 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:48

ah, but if ur going to buy it together then it'd be bad to buy online lol

582 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 20:49

>>578
Plus she's got no experience using the net
I can get into her house again by saying I'm gonna set up her internet... ( ´ー`)

That's probably too much technology.
Go with ADSL.
If she's not satisfied with it, she'll turn to you again for advice.

614 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 20:57

I don't know if it's for her whole family or just for her,
but maybe you can get into Hermes's room with this...

621 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 21:00

I don't have anyone to talk with, anyway

I can't write anything too detailed,

721 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 21:30

>>708
About PCs
Maybe she's anorexic... _| ̄|○
But she ate a ton last time we went out...

737 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 21:35

could it be, she's so happy that she's gained a little weight,
and now she's
"even cuter than she was when you first met her"?

742 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/19 21:37

This sounds harsh, but don't forget that you're the one who saved Hermes.
It's possible that even if she wants to turn you down, she won't be able to.

I say things really confidently as a joke,
but when I actually meet her, 80% of it flies away... _| ̄|○

Trainykins was a Kikuko fanboy...?

When to confess, thinking it might go well, going at his own pace - the argument continued. However, every response, even those of Train himself, were based on the speculation of Hermes's feelings. That is, until the sudden turn of events that soon follow.

827 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:05

I hope he won't rush himself just because he's thinking of the thread residents
If he fails because of us, we won't get what we're after...

It'd be weird if the final blow is landed on the first or second round again
I mean, these are people who were complete strangers until recently...
Whatever happens, Train, follow your heart

830 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:10

Just the fact that the build-up to this has been so different than usual
makes me hope against hope.
My heart still pounds when I read Train's responses, too LOL
But expecting that each time is unfair, huh.
But usually, all that would happen is you'd be disappointed, right?
What I'm trying to say is that we should place Train's pace above our own emotions, see?

831 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:11

ur all so nice

841 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:24

But when I think of things like this, some stuff just sticks out.
I really did get seriously depressed over 125 and the rubberband.
For me, it's hard to re-read 125's story even now.

873 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:45

You know, at first he was like
"Even on the one-in-a-million chance that anything were to happen between the woman sitting next to me and myself, we haven't got a thing in common, I bet... _| ̄| I could never even walk through the city streets with her "
He said that... what a liar! You're holding hands, now, arentcha!?
_| ̄|○

879 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 22:47

u know what, once on a train a wom,an dropped her mirror
i picked it up for her and she thanked me
i looked her straight in the eye, and then ran away by getting off at the next stop
uuhhmmmm.... ('A`)

We talk about it at least once every time we see each other

939 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 23:06

944 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 23:08

My girlfriend told me about this place, too...
I kindof understand why women like to read this.

947 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/19 23:09

>>938
Me, too. Apparently someone told her to leave her vagina and go home

165 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/20 21:27

We talked a lot about Benoist tea, and English tea by text message today
Apparently she's a big tea fan, so she was really worried I'd say "coffee, please" ( ´ー`)

183 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/20 21:40

>>178
But I get the shakes when I think that the next time we meet
might be the end of this trip

188 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/20 21:44

Basically, it will be in the second week of May, I think
She's pretty booked on her vacation, apparently (´・ω・`)

255 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/20 22:25

Seriously, the two of them having been holding hands on their dates;
if she's gently taking Train's hand when they're saying goodbye and pulling him off the train,
how could she possibly say "don't confess love to me!", right?
If Hermes is a virtuous girl, then doing that means she's already pretty much accepted Train,
And if she isn't that virtuous of a girl, then she might give in if he pushes her hard enough.
From the story so far, I think it will be the former.
I mean, Hermes has been holding his hand and asking for favors and having him over, right?
If it doesn't work out after all this, then seriously, women are just ('A`)venom!

303 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/20 22:51

>>298
Well, you might have a point...
According to Train's story, Hermes is prettier and more tidy than Nakatani Miki,
but she deosn't put on airs, is well-groomed, well-dressed, a good conversationalist,
and has a strong sense of right and wrong - she's the world's most perfect human being.
If a person like that really hooked up with Train, then I guess we can assume
that there's a chance for all the thread residents, too, huh

315 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/20 22:56

Not a chance.
Let's get real, folks.
I was on the train and I saw a woman carrying a lot of heavy bags, so I invited her to sit down.
A bit later the seat next to the one I had offered her opened up,
and she sat down then leaving a big space between us.
Following the mirror-picking-up incident... that's it, I've reached my limit ('A`)urgh

389 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 10:51

Serioussllyy even if he doesn't confess, I get the feeling it's gonna go well
Looking at the night scenery...
H: "I think I'm a bit drunk..."
T: "Are you alright?" (looks up into her face)
H: "Teehee, you always look up into my face like that"
T: "Eh, uh, s-... soryjhhdfdgghhjjhbjhikofs"
H: "Teehee..."
The two gaze at each other in a peculiar fashion
Hermes suddenly closes her eyes
T: "W-w-w-w-w-what's wrong? Are you feeling ill?"
H: "Oh, silly Train..."
Hermes smiles poutily
T: "I- I'm sorry, I'm not used to this kind of thing"
H: "Dude, you gotta quit with the space cadet routine, a'ight?"
T: "Huh........?"

409 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 21:17

I chased a drunkard off the train today, but nobody nearby even spoke to me...

410 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 21:25

>>409
That's the normal story

411 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 21:26

>>409
good job! seriously!!
and i love you, man!!

412 Name: 409 Date: 04/04/21 21:48

>>410
It was pretty rough, but it's not even interesting enough to tell the story here. Seriously average.
It's not like I didn't think that I wanted to be like Train, but it really did piss me off.
>>411
Thanx. I love you, too LOL

413 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 21:50

And so another love was born...

443 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 22:59

if they're text messaging each other every day, doesn't that make them couple?
they were properly holding hands, too, right.
i don't know how they feel, but the sooner he tells her,
the longer they can enjoy life as a couple, that's what i think.
that's if he's successful... but if he fails, i'll be a poisonous single for the rest of my life.

444 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 23:08

But the part before you start seeing each other is the most fun
I'm sure of it...
I just wanted to try dying saying that ('A`)urgh

445 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/21 23:12

>>443
No, I think it's the most exciting in the time leading up to the confession.
You hold her hand and she squeezes it back, your eyes meet and she smiles,
but you haven't heard her say her feelings out loud. It might be then,
when you're just allowing your feelings to run free, that's the most fun.
It doesn't last very long, so I think Train should enjoy it while he can.
It won't be too long before you fart in front of each other,
and walk around naked without batting an eyelash _| ̄|○

there were all these fancy madames and madamoiselles
i stuck out like a sore thumb

The tides were taking a tremendous turn.

591 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/23 22:11

Hi. I have something to report

We were talking about clothes (fashion) over text message
and she was saying that she didn't like it when it got hot,
because it's hard to hide your body under lightweight clothes
and I told her that she was slender,
so it was 0k for her to not hide her body at all. And then we started talking about body types,
and apparently her friends have told her that she's too skinny to be sexy

...then

I quote:
"Maybe it's because my body always looks like this that I can't even get a boyfriend~ (×_×)"

She's confirmed single

594 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 22:13

yeah━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━ !!

good job, you train bastard, you!!

595 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/23 22:16

I'm going to answer now... ( ´ー`)
I'm gonna devote myself to text messaging today
If anything else happens I'll come back and report~ (×_×)

*waves*

598 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 22:20

>I can't even get a boyfriend~ (×_×)

alright, boys and girls.

635 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:02

Naw, it can't be, right? No, it's gotta be just my needless worry, but...
Up until now, Hermes has always been three steps ahead of us all, right?
She keeps dropping bombs directly on to all of our heads, right?
No, it can't be.... but.... there couldn't be another bombing coming today, right?
We'll be okay, right?

649 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:08

※ Train, love's pulse has been confirmed, but the final blow, the confession, better be in person.
NOT by text message.

Speculation changed to conviction.

I'll type up the details of our messaging tomorrow...

Wait a minute! This means the ending is coming up!?
What happened to the foreshadowing brought on by Hermes's friend!?

801 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:41

If it was Train
 "At the very least, you're popular with me" → Hermes is popular to me (Train)
 Pretty much like a love confession

If it was Hermes
 "At the very least, you're popular with me" → Train is popular to Hermes
 If Hermes said it, then it's confirmed

802 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:42

Yeah.... he's really progressed, huh.
And she's not some girl he just met a singles' party, either, huh.
It all started with an Akihabara nerd saving someone, huh.

Maybe this is what you really call a miracle, huh...

No, it's not a miracle, huh. This is the result of his hard work, huh!

874 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:55

The great 125 was definitely a god in his own right, but he wasn't a virgin to begin with,
he was well-versed in fashion and good at holding a conversation
he wasn't really a thread resident. You could almost say he was a trained mercenary.

But Train is different. He was just an unpopular Akihabara nerd who liked voice actors.
And how he's dropping bombs with a real confidence.

This is the stuff of legend. The living legend of the Singles BBS - that's Train.

886 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/23 23:59

Oh yeah, which porno should I rent at the video rental place tonight?
Lately I've been choosing them by actress, so maybe tonight I'll go by genre.
Costumes are nice, huh. Maybe cheerleaders, or nurses.
Okay, I'm gonna have a steamy night, let's go home and have at it!
While I was thinking that, this 'Sakuranbo' love-song-y atmosphere really existed, huh.

56 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 00:50

The god who asked which brand of cups, and the god who

>>56
Hey, you're forgetting one very important person.
The violent old drunk, LOL

And maybe it's true that if the people in >>56's post weren't around,
these events would never have happened, but still,
the one thing that really provided this opportunity was without a doubt: Train Man's courage.
If he had pretended he didn't see what was happening back then, he wouldn't have what he does now.

Cheers to the fact that that brave lad is one of us BBS residents!
We don't have to give up on the country of Japan yet.
Train, congrats!

"Maybe it's because my body always looks like this that I can't even get a boyfriend~ (×_×)"
First I answered this one

"I think you'd look good whether you were thin or plump
maybe the men around you just have no taste, haha"

That, and with my horrible body type, personality, waredrobe and face,
I can't ever get a girlfriend (×_×)

that's how I answered.

and
"At the very least, you're popular with me"
come out, yeah━━━ヽ(ヽ(゚ヽ(゚∀ヽ(゚∀゚ヽ(゚∀゚)ノ゚∀゚)ノ∀゚)ノ゚)ノ)ノ━━━!!!

In reply, I said
"That kind of mood...? And what kind would that be?
I've got no experience in this area so I have no idea what you're talking about *laugh*"

"Hermes, you're at the very least popular with me, too"

125 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 10:41

141 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 10:49

Then
" 'that kind of mood', hm? Maybe we should meet up so I can explain it to you in person?"
the joking atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
Suddenly the hand that was holding my cell phone was sweaty...

In reply
"It's something that can't be said unless it's in person? What could it be...?
Well, then, I might just have something, too...
That I want to say next time we meet..."

The reply came right away
"Well, next time we meet, then *laughs*"

That's it (×_×)

142 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 10:50

I guess you could say that the [nullpo] feel of it all is fitting for Train and Hermes, huh.

148 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 10:52

hurry and land the final blow.

168 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 10:58

Apparently she's going on a trip starting the 29th
She'll be back on the 4th, so if she can meet on the 5th we will

She'll prolly be tired from traveling right after she gets back,
so I'm going to try not to push her

170 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 10:59

>>164
That'd be such a waste. You should enjoy these fleeting feelings a little more, first.
If you start dating you won't be able to enjoy them any more.

Even if I make a date with a woman, she pushes it out three months. I'm here, BTW.

174 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 11:01

It's like I'm dreaming...
If this turns out to be a fake, I'll die, seriously

175 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:01

>170
I get what you're saying.
Once you start dating it's an endless love,
but after awhile those feelings disappear

But if you don't want to regret it later... it'd be a waste.

>173
She's probably enjoying the sense of anticipation

>>173
Ooh, nice.
A woman once told me "Let's have a drink sometime"
but when I took her up on it, she said
"Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'just being polite'?"
and yelled at me!

It's true - a month ago I had long hair, wore glasses,
just wore whatever I felt like and went to Akihabara three times a week,
My life was just video games and anime and 2ch, huh...

But lately, I like to dress up and have fun out in the world...

183 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:06

>>180
Tell her you fell for the skin of a nice older woman

188 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 11:08

Thanks so much you guys
I never thought 2ch could change a life...

192 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:12

She can't meet with you this week (meaning today OR tomorrow)?

194 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:14

If they do go on to get m4rried,
they'll be one of the rare newlywed couples who
it's easy to think of a toast for, lol

195 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:15

It's a movie, a TV drama, a novel
Like a rental video that only I can see
Like a beautiful woman in a kimono fixing her sandal strap at the train station
Like accidentally calling a wrong number and getting some secret agency
I've wildly imagined a few things in my time, but there's never been a success story, you know?

200 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 11:17

>>192
She says today and tomorrow are her days off
I want to see her again soon... ( ´ー`)

Oh yeah, I'm not so scared of women any more...

202 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:18

>>200
u were scared of women?

203 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:19

Once you start going out with her, you'll learn to REALLY be scared of women...

I just wanted to say that, 1 2 3 testing

206 Name: Mr. No Name Date: 04/04/24 11:22

I myself might be all alone with nothing to my name,
but if I can get this excited about a comrade's love story,
isn't that enough?
Isn't it okay for me to be alone from now on, too?

209 Name: Train Man ◆SgHguKHEFY Date: 04/04/24 11:24

Well, then, it seems like I'm going to need more clothes,
so I'm going shopping... ( ´ー`)
It's not payday yet, but... (×_×)

Thanks again for all your helpful advice today!

As he left those words and departed, there was no more hesitation in Train Man's stance.
