"There will be! There definitely will be!"
Minamoto Tamako loudly encouraged, "You have to believe in yourself! Even though you're petty, stingy, miserly, vindictive, clueless about women, and terrible at interpersonal relationships... but, but..."
She hesitated for a long time, unable to say what "but" was.
This was different from what Fushimi Roku expected; he thought Minamoto Tamako misunderstood, assuming he was lamenting his unpopularity—which is the kind of thing people indulge in often in Japan. They often blame their life's failures on "unpopularity," constantly whining online and proposing strange theories about "inequitable sexual resources."
In other words, Minamoto Tamako saw him as a self-pitying loser.
Fushimi Roku reached out his hand to interrupt, saying, "That's not the point. Let's not talk about the past; the focus is on the future..."
"What future?"
