Minamoto Tamako felt these words were odd, but couldn't pinpoint why, so she rebutted with practical reasoning: "Maybe you haven't socialized much and are outdated. Nowadays, it's popular for couples to split bills equally!"
Fushimi Roku was taken aback: "That advanced?"
Minamoto Tamako wasn't on the same wavelength as him, but nodded along: "Of course, everyone is fighting for women's rights. Women are independent individuals, so if they're spending together, they should split the bill equally... Even if you keep a lover, it wouldn't cost that much!"
