He lives in Wakayama, just south of Osaka. Close enough that if you had a business trip to Osaka, you could inconvenience yourself by booking an inn in Wakayama. It's roughly an hour to drive.I need to go back and reread - does he live really close to Osaka, and/or in Osaka and I just assumed he was from some out of the way town/village? If it's the former, then I can absolutely see them just detouring to see him while actually doing the things they said they were doing.
I was just under the impression they all made up excuses (read: lied) about having to leave the Sharehouse, but were intending to just come to Hiromi's hometown instead. Because I thought he lived in a relatively remote space (which, again, I easily could have just misremembered from an earlier chapter), I thought the chances of all four (well, three) of them having separate business that just so happened to land them in the same small town as Hiromi was not-actually-a-coincidence.
Unless they actually do have business elsewhere, but still detoured out of their way to see him here anyway, in which case fine, but I still don't like it because it's still them encroaching unannounced and that's not super fair when he partly came out to hopefully clear his head away from the sharehouse. But that's also a "I wouldn't write it this way" thing and I recognize that.
So are they making a plausible detour to see him? Or going out of their way to make it happen? A little bit of both. Tsubasa and Mio were actually in Osaka for their jobs. Anju lied about going to visit her parents, and Lili is having some post-breakup panic. All four look crazy for showing up unannounced to mark Hiromi with their scent like cats in heat. 😺
