Julian's Stand in Wife

The waitress didn’t rush to leave.

She stood by Cecilia’s side, still demonstrating how to use the microphone.

“There’s no harm in wearing it. Just think: if someone can accept a voice that’s difficult to listen to, that’s when genuine feelings develop. Not just based on the face, but also the voice.

“For two people to last long together, they must share similar values and have similar thoughts. Only then can they get closer over time. Otherwise, they’ll inevitably go in opposite directions.”

The more Cecilia thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.

“Thank you.” She took the device from the waitress, and operated it. “Do I use it like this? If I do this, I can have an unpleasant voice?”

Completely disguising herself, testing, and probing from an onlooker’s perspective seemed like a good idea.

“The prerequisite for love is to stay calm. Only then can one avoid pitfalls.” The waitress affirmed Cecilia’s technique, and added, “After all, there are so many scumbags in this world. It’s good to be cautious.”

Cecilia agreed once again. The voice changer felt like a powerful weapon. She gripped the switch, already thinking about what to do during the upcoming blind date.
