Speak Buddy is getting hot, again!

I use an English learning app "Speak Buddy" since this June.

At the begining, the protagonist "Mitsuko" was living in L.A and the story was developing around her daily life.

And now, the situation has changed and Mitsuko works at a foreign-affiliated company in Tokyo.

All of her colleagues are from overseas, and she sometimes dates with one of them, Adam.

I've been thiking they aren't in a romantic situation because Adam is not my cup of tea.

However, one day, he said to Mitsuko. "I still haven't visited Nagoya.When I do, I went you to be my guide".

Mitsuko answered, "Sure. I would love to visit my hometown with you someday."

It seems that Mitsuko is from Nagoya but Hiroshima.
This Mitsuko is not me.

But I have a mixed feeling about it.

Anyway, the story is interesting and I'm looking forward to see how that will be developed in the future.
