Nakatsura winked at Mano. This was a sign for Mano to just follow his lead. Although surprised that Nakatsura introduced Mano as his cousin, she thought Nakatsura must have some particular intentions.
"I am Gonda Mano. Nice to meet you."
"I am Nakatsura Akimasa. Nice to meet a cousin of a friend of mine."
Mano was surprised. This person's name turned out to be very similar to Nakatsura's name.
"This was a friend of mine when I had worked at a restaurant," said the journalist Nakatsura. "We became close quickly because our names both sound very similar. People often get confused."
Mano laughed. Their names were not only similar but sounded precisely the same.
"But soon he moved to a faraway place. After that, I never saw him again. Until earlier, when I saw him in the dressing room."
"That's right," said the man. Unlike the journalist Nakatsura, this Nakatsura didn't seem too talkative. Mano decided to give the two of them nicknames so they wouldn't be confused with each other in Mano's mind. The two are Nakatsura "the journalist" and Nakatsura "the quiet man."
"By the way, who was that woman?" asked Nakatsura "the journalist."
"Nakatsura "the quiet man" frowned.
"Which woman?"
"The woman who spoke to you earlier, It looks like your conversation was quite serious!"
"Ah! That's the nephew of my boss in the labor bureau company I joined. Since she's the boss's nephew, I have to take her seriously."
"Your boss' nephew is working like temporary worker?"
"Maybe she's just bored. So she decided to do this thing."
