今回は以前紹介した余命3000文字の著者による第2段です！
今回も小説が苦手だよという人にも読みやすい作品になっています。
概要
「俺と麻里奈、付き合うことになったから」三人の関係を表したような△が降る街で、“選ばれなかった”少女が抱く切ない想いとは――?(「△が降る街」)。
「このボタンを押した瞬間、地球が滅亡します」自宅に正体不明のボタンを送り付けられた男に待ち受ける、まさかの結末とは――?(「絶対に押さないでください」)。
「三十代前半の公務員。浮気確率82%。不合格」目の前にいる男の“浮気をする確率”がわかる能力に目覚めた女が結婚相手に選んだ、驚きの相手とは――?(「浮気確率63%」)
感想
今回タイトルにもなっている「△が降る街」はなんだかもやっとするかと思います。
表現や描写が細かいようで抽象的な部分が多いです。それも、物語の主人公のはっきりしない気持ちをなぞってのことなのでしょうか...？
人によってとらえ方が大きく変わる1作かもしれないですね。

BOOKLOG
This is the second installment by the author of "3,000 Characters for the Rest of Your Life," which we previously introduced to you!
This time, too, the work is easy to read even for those who are not good at novels.
Summary
In the town where △ falls, which seems to represent the relationship between three people, what is the sad thought held by the girl who was "not chosen"? (What are the sad feelings held by the girl who was "not chosen" in the town where △ is falling, which seems to represent the relationship between the three of them?)
What is the unexpected outcome that awaits a man who receives an unidentified button at his home? (What is the unexpected outcome that awaits the man who receives an unidentified button at his home?)
A civil servant in his early thirties. 82% chance of cheating on his wife. A woman who has awakened to the ability to know the "probability of cheating" of the man in front of her chooses a surprising partner for marriage. (Probability of cheating: 63%)
Impressions
I think the title of this issue, "The Town Where It Rains," is somewhat frustrating.
Many of the expressions and descriptions seem detailed and abstract. Is this also a reflection of the unclear feelings of the protagonist of the story...?
It may be one of those works that can be taken very differently by different people.
