What mother doesn't want her child, but Catalina is also helpless, after all, she is too far away from her child. Although I miss you, I can't see you anymore.
I don't know if all girls are like this, but Sachiko doesn't leave any place untouched when she puts on makeup, even if it's her back, she has to apply makeup powder on it.
Mrs. Itani's hobby is also quite good. Open your own beauty salon. When I have time, I also help with blind dates. Naturally, I know a lot of girls who own a beauty salon. It's also suitable for blind dates.
