I’m not asking for anything in return. I was talking about how, after we’d been in touch up until then, suddenly being met with complete silence is hurtful in any human relationship. If a man were contacted by someone saying she wanted to go to an exclusive restaurant, and he took her there only for her to stop contacting him afterward, wouldn’t he wonder what was going on?

Are you the woman from the post about not receiving a present on White Day? You spent your own money preparing several chocolates before Valentine’s Day, but he didn’t show his appreciation sincerely, which understandably left you feeling upset. If you felt, “He didn’t even thank me—he just used me,” then you and the man who made you feel that way were simply a terrible match. If you genuinely liked him, you probably wouldn’t have felt that way even if the same thing had happened. I suppose he just wasn’t a papa you could grow to like...

I can’t tell whether you’re a man or a woman. I also can’t tell what question you’re responding to. Still, I feel like I kind of understand what you’re getting at. This isn’t a battle between individuals—it’s a battle between papa-katsu women and papas. The papa-katsu women who venture onto the battlefield come heavily armed, wearing armor and carrying weapons, with their guard firmly up. Each one is quite a formidable opponent. And what’s more, they all seem to raise their stats in pretty much the same way, as if they’re following the same manual. Meanwhile, the papas who enter the papa-katsu battlefield are truly diverse and impossible to control. That’s the kind of battle this is. Lately, I’ve been in the mood to avoid the girls from the battlefield and instead spend a peaceful, pleasant time with the daughters of farmers or shopkeepers who haven’t gone off to war.
