After breakfast and musterbating together haruto took shower and went out.
He walked alone through the bustling streets of the city, the wind gently blowing his hair. He loved these quiet walks. He loved wandering without any destination, simply enjoying the feeling of being free. He bought a takoyaki stand near the station, ate a few hot pieces with his fingers, then continued walking. The taste of fried octopus and sauce mixed with the smell of the city made him feel alive.
After almost two hours, he entered the manga and light novel district.
The shop he chose was a small, unassuming place tucked between two larger stores. The sign above the door simply read "R-18 Manga & Light Novel Corner" in neat black letters. He pushed the door open and the cool air inside greeted him. The smell of new books, plastic wraps, and faint lubricant drifted through the store. It was quiet today. Only three other customers were browsing in the corner.
