one Monday, after a lecture on Euripides in History of
Drama, I took a ten-minute walk to a little restaurant and had an
omelette and salad for lunchThe place was on a quiet backstreet and
was slightly more expensive than the student dining hall, but you
could relax there, and they knew how to make a good omelette"They" were a married couple who rarely spoke to each other, plus
one part-time waitressAs I sat there eating by the window, a group of
four students came in, two men and two women, all rather neatly
dressedThey took the table near the door, spent some time looking
61
over the menu and discussing their options, until one of them reported
their choices to the waitressBefore long I louis vuitton scarf noticed that one of the girls kept glancing in my
directionShe had extremely short hair and wore dark sunglasses and
a white cotton mini-dressI had no idea who she was, so I went on
with my lunch, but she soon slipped out of her seat and came over to
where I was sittingWith one hand on the edge of my table, she said,
"You're Watanabe, aren't you?"
I raised my head and looked at her more closelyStill I could not
recall ever having seen herShe was the kind of girl you notice, so if I
had met her before I should have been able to recognize her
immediately, and there weren't that many people in my university who
knew me by name"Mind if I sit down?" she asked"Or are you expecting montre cartier somebody?"
Still uncertain, I shook my head"No, nobody's coming
With a wooden clunk, she dragged a chair out and sat down opposite,
staring straight at me through her sunglasses, then
glancing at my plate"Looks good," she saidMushroom omelette and green pea salad"Oh, well, I'll get it next timeI've
already ordered something else
"What are you having?" "Macaroni and cheese
"Their macaroni and cheese isn't bad, either," I said"By the way, do I
know you? I don't recall
"Euripides," she said"No god hearkens to the voice of lost
Electra' You know - the class just ended
I stared hard at herShe took off her sunglassesAt last I remembered
her - a first-year I had seen in History of DramaA striking change christian dior saddle in
hairstyle had prevented me recognizing her"Oh," I said, touching a point a few inches below my shoulder, "your
hair was down to here before the summer holidays "You're right,"
62
she said"I had a perm this summer, and it was just awfulI was ready
to kill myselfI looked like a corpse on the beach with seaweed stuck
to my headSo I decided as long as I was ready to die, I might as well
cut it all offAt least it's cool in the summer She ran her hand
through her pixie cut and gave me a smile"It looks good, though," I said, still munching my omelette"Let me see your profile
She turned away and held the pose a few secondsIt really looks good on youPretty ears, too, uncovered like that
"So I'm not balenciaga yellow bag mad after all! I thought I looked good myself once I cut it

feminine? I mean, I myself know at least 250 unclassy girls with long
hair

"Fine," I said
"Now, let me ask you: do you have any idea what I would like to do

"I can't imagine

don't stop
"But I would stop," I saidNever mind, this is just my fantasy," said Midori"So
then you show it to meI immediately
cover my eyes, of course, but I can't help seeing it for a split secondAnd I say, "Stop it! Don't do that! I don't want anything so big and
hard!"'
"It's not so big

We left the bar after five rounds of vodka and tonicWhen I tried to
pay, Midori slapped my hand and paid with a brand-new #10,000 note
she took from her purse"It's OK," she said"I just got paid, and I invited youOf course, if
you're a card-carrying fascist and you refuse to let a woman buy you a

"And I didn't let you put it in, either "Because it's so big and hard," I
said"Right," said Midori"Because it's so big and hard
A little drunk, Midori missed one step, and we almost fell back down
the stairsThe layer of clouds that had darkened the sky was chanel jewellery gone

now, and the late afternoon sun poured its gentle light on the city
streetsMidori and I wandered around for a whileShe said she
wanted to climb a tree, but unfortunately there were no climbable trees
in Shinjuku, and the Shinjuku Imperial Gardens were closing"Too bad," said Midori"I love climbing trees
We continued walking and window-shopping, and soon the street
scene seemed more real to me than it had before"I'm glad I ran into you," I said"I think I'm a little more adapted to
