My Sex Friend Is My Childhood Friend? - 2

Chapter 2: Would Someone Really Show Up With This?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Well, no normal girl would message someone like this, huh.”

Without any expectations, I closed the app on my phone. The app that my senpai recommended mainly catered to serious relationships, but as long as it wasn’t illegal, anything went. Its selling point was offering a wide range of encounters.

Once a man registered, the AI would match him and send his profile to potential female partners. If any of them gave the OK, he would get a notification. I was new to this, so I didn’t know the details, but apparently, women on these apps often get bombarded with messages from hundreds of men. This app filtered that down and only showed them a carefully curated few, which made it surprisingly popular among women.

While I was thinking about that, my manager called out to me.

“Hey, Takasaki. About that project from the other day…”

I got up from my seat.

The company was in a busy season, and every day passed in a blur. I had completely forgotten about the app. One night after work, while drinking a can of beer at home, I suddenly remembered it.

Oh yeah, what ever happened with that?

I opened the app again, without much expectation.

And then— There was a notification.

『One woman is interested in you. Would you like to match?』

I immediately checked her profile. Her name was Mahiru. She was one year younger than me. Her hometown was listed as XX Ward in Tokyo.

Wait, that’s the place I used to live!

Good thing I wrote “Saitama” on mine.

Now then.. Her hobbies seemed pretty similar to mine.

No photo, but there was a linked social media account.

Kids these days, aren’t they scared? How can they do stuff like this so nonchalantly? 

I peeked at her profile. The profile was filled with pictures of her favorite cafés and places she’d visited. There was also a photo of a giant crepe. Totally the kind of modern girl you’d expect. There was even what looked like a university building in the background.

So, a university student? Come on, she’s way too trusting.

In some pictures, her hands were visible. Her nails were done nicely, and she didn’t look overweight. She seemed pretty stylish. At the end of the notification was a message.

『I’ve had a lot going on too, and I’m looking for that kind of relationship. If you’re interested, would you like to talk?』

Half-skeptical, I decided to reply.

『I’d love to, thank you. I saw the link. That crepe looked delicious! Also, I think you should probably take your social media link down. It’s kind of dangerous to share your personal info and everything on this app. Sorry for checking it out even though I’m saying that!』

I got a reply almost immediately.

『Haha. Thanks for the heads-up about the SNS. I saw your profile too, Unagi-san. I like movies and anime too. If you’re okay with it, want to move the conversation to Messenger?』

『Absolutely. My number is xxx-xxxx-xxxx. Please add me from your end. Also, this might be awkward to bring up, but I’d rather be upfront than make things weird later. To say it bluntly, I’m looking for a sex friend. Of course, no money or anything like that involved. I’m okay with going out to eat and stuff, but the basic idea is just meeting at a hotel to do it.』

After a short pause, her reply came back.

『I added you right away. If you get a notification from someone named Mahiru, please approve it. And about what you said—I understand. I actually appreciate the honesty. It’s better that way.』

And just like that, my exchange with Mahiru began.
