Introduction
Romance.
It is something that cannot be explained by efficiency.
It is something that cannot be talked about solely in terms of profit and loss.
Even if it is not realistic, it is something that moves people.
Man cannot live by bread alone.
Living expenses. Work. Taxes. Obligations. Responsibilities.
If life is filled only with these, the heart becomes dry.
That is why people seek.
* Scenery yet to be seen

* A fated encounter
* A challenge to change the world
* A story all your own
That is romance.
