Title: Introducing a comment that made me happy!

Good evening! I caused a lot of trouble the other day m(_ _)m I have completely made up with my husband! It's Kyororo-chan.

#Let'sEnjoyGreetings
#HirokiAo

I used the greeting text again.
It's hard to know how to start and end a note, isn't it? It's very convenient to have a set opening♪ Thank you, Hiroki Ao.

It's been over 10 days now, but the awkwardness with my husband is gone.
In the end, it was my misunderstanding (sweat)
I would like to express my apologies and gratitude to everyone once again. I am truly sorry (＞人＜;)
And since then, I have somehow managed to continue my daily posts for the 66-day writing challenge.

Even though it was such a terrible article that was hard to comment on, some people still left comments. To those who commented, thank you so much.

Today, I would like to introduce the comment from that time.

Hokuto-san left a comment.

It was my first comment from Hokuto-san. I was surprised that someone would comment on such a difficult article.

But it really encouraged me.

When I heard the name Hokuto-san, the first thing that came to mind was "Fist of the North Star" (lol).

A long time ago, in a SoftBank commercial, Kyoko Koizumi played an adult "former Sailor Moon," and famous actors played characters like "former Obochama-kun" and "former Golgo 13."

Among them was the "former Kenshiro" from Fist of the North Star, and although it was a secret at first, does everyone remember who the "former Kenshiro" was?
That's too obscure, isn't it (lol)

Seeing Hokuto-san's name and comment reminded me of this commercial and the former Kenshiro.

It makes no sense. I really wonder what I'm talking about (laughs).

#WhatAreYouTalkingAbout

Let me say something a bit serious for a moment.
In the comments,

I was very encouraged by those words.

Seeing this comment, I felt like I had to ask my husband... now!

"Go now!" I felt like I was being told exactly that.

I am currently taking on the challenge of a collaborative magazine called the 66-Day Writing Run, where we update our notes every day. The writing run has already passed 50 days.

Honestly, there were days when I thought, "Seriously, I can't do this anymore, I can't write..." Even so, I managed to keep going.
It's almost a miracle that I'm still continuing.

I feel like I'm writing as a lone runner, but at the same time, I feel like I'm running together with everyone.

Seeing Hokuto-san's comment, I decided that I would ask my husband the truth right now.

That evening, when my husband came home, I gathered my courage and was able to ask him about that day.

As it turned out, my anxiety was a complete misunderstanding (laughs).

But I was really worried, you know!

My husband had prepared a gift for me. The gift was an item related to something he currently holds dear.

I was so happy that I cried. But my husband is a bit oblivious, so I don't think he really understands why I was angry or why I ended up crying.

Still, I was truly happy with the gift. It's something I can use every day, so I'm still using it daily.

And actually, my husband is also running right now.

Next week, my husband will be participating in a marathon race. I thought to myself, "You should have told me sooner!" (laughs).

I'm looking forward to going to the marathon and a hot spring with my family next week! I'll report back on whether he finished the race safely or not~🎵

And today is August 17th. It was the birthday of someone very important to me.

The birthday party is over, and the guest of honor has had some drinks and is already asleep (lol). Following the theme of the birthday present I received a while back, I gave a birthday present related to something I currently hold dear.

The guest of honor seemed a bit surprised, but I'm glad they seemed happy about it.

When I said, "Go ahead and try using it," the guest of honor opened the gift and tried using it as intended. Seeing that, I burst out laughing.

And what I had imagined turned into certainty.

I think everyone lives their lives using different personas in reality and on social media. But even if we live wearing masks, perhaps our true selves peek through from time to time. I thought it would be nice if we could come to trust those true selves that peek through.

The guest of honor said, "My birthday is always right after Obon, so I've never really had it celebrated properly; I never thought a day would come where I'd be celebrated like this." But lately, they've been saying the same thing almost every year. We've been having birthday parties for years now, so I really wish they'd stop saying the same thing (lol).

And! Once again, this is sudden, but it seems Aruron-san has started a project like this!

[#MyChildIsSoCuteRight]

I have a habit of jumping on project trends right away (lol).

I can't post photos of my children for various reasons, but I have a daughter in the fourth grade of elementary school and a son in the first grade.

If I had to mention one characteristic, it would be this.

Both of them immediately run off somewhere (lol).

In a sense, my children are runners too (lol).

If they see a friend at the park, or if they say "There's something over there!" while we're out for a walk, they immediately start running.

I always have to chase after them. They aren't that fast, so I can catch up to them. But honestly, I wish they'd stop because it's midsummer right now and I end up drenched in sweat (lol).

But that's proof of their vitality, so as long as I can run and chase after them, I want to keep doing it!

Children grow up in the blink of an eye. It's fine for them to run, but I just hope they stay safe from accidents and grow up healthy; that's all I care about.

Lastly, I remembered that Shinichi Kikuchi, whom I follow, posted a photo of a book, but I was much more interested in the "Fist of the North Star Original Art Exhibition" bookmark than the contents of the book (lol).

I'm being influenced way too much by Fist of the North Star (lol).

The underlined parts were about this kind of content.

"A work transcends the author"

It says something pretty amazing.

It seems they held a book club for this book the other day. The noter who hosted it was someone named lion.

lion also seems to be posting every day, for what it's worth. Honestly, I don't really understand the content of the articles written on their note, but they always use the same phrase to end their posts, and I thought that might be a good idea! You always worry about how to end things, don't you?

I have a habit of jumping on bandwagons, so I think I'll go ahead and steal that for my closing (lol).

Thank you for reading this time as well! So, with that...

"Make today the best day ever"

*This is a work of fiction.

The next installment (Husband's Perspective ⑤) will be on Saturday, August 24th at 8:30.
What's next, finally...?
