"Eh?"

A young girl, who was also working part-time as a waitress, walked over from the side.

You seem distracted.

"No, I'm fine."

Mika Kohinata wore a slightly naive smile, but a strange feeling welled up inside her as she thought of the two people in the corner of the hall.

Mika Kohinata did not disbelieve what Toru Tazaki said.

Since they said they were going out to buy musical instruments, they must be telling the truth, and he had no idea that Tazaki Toru would lie to him.

What made Mika Kohinata feel strange was the way Hina Aoki looked at her.

and also.

Her breasts are really big today.

Perhaps Mika Kohinata was overthinking it, but she felt that Hina Aoki was somehow different today.

It does not refer to the chest area.

Rather, it refers to Hina Aoki's behavior and demeanor.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was making her uncomfortable.

This strange feeling suddenly cast a shadow over her good mood of the past few days.

"The meal for table number 3 is ready. Ms. Takagi, please take it there."

"Ms. Takagi?"

"Huh? Me?"

Mika Kohinata snapped out of her daze and pointed to herself.

She immediately looked around and saw that among the waiters waiting in the kitchen, only Mika Kohinata was there.

Helpless, she could only carry the food and nervously walk towards table number 3.

Her mind started to wander. What should she do if she happened to witness them flirting and hear Tazaki Toru saying sweet words to Aoki Hina?

"You two have been waiting for a long time."

Upon arriving at table number 3, Mika Kohinata placed the food on the table, and Hina Aoki reached out her hand.

"This one is mine, Mika-chan. We were just talking about you."

"I?"

Kohinata showed a surprised expression to Mika.

She wondered to herself, "Could it be that they're mocking her for being like a dog?"

If that's the case, Mika Kohinata is confident she'll cry and quit work tonight.

"Speaking of which, the uniforms at this restaurant are really cute, and Mika looks great in them. I bet Tazaki-kun thinks so too, right?" Hina Aoki threw the conversation to Toru Tazaki.

If these words had been spoken by Toru Tazaki when Mika Kohinata was alone with him, she might not have said them.

But Aoki Hina in front of her, no matter how you look at her, was an invincible beauty who was even cuter than her.

What's more, Aoki Hina had dressed up meticulously today, to the point that made Kohinata Mika feel ashamed of herself.

In particular, her breasts look significantly larger.

Therefore, these words of praise made her feel very uncomfortable.

however.

Tazaki Toru looked at Kohinata Mika beside him and said directly, "Yeah, she's cute."

The two girls reacted differently to his frank and unvarnished remarks.

Mika Kohinata hurriedly waved her hand, a faint blush appearing on her ordinary face.

"Wait... Tou-kun, please don't say such embarrassing things in public." She said in a flustered whisper.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but laugh.

After Mika Kohinata left with her face flushed and head bowed, Hina Aoki looked at Toru Tazaki sitting opposite her and suddenly spoke:

"Mika-chan, you call Tazaki-kun by his name."

Hina Aoki puffed out her cheeks slightly, her eyes sparkling with a lively light, making it impossible to discern her thoughts at that moment.

Then she asked, "Can I call you that too?"

Tazaki Toru was taken aback for a moment, then nodded generously: "I have known Miss Aoki for a long time, so there is no need to worry about such details. You can call me whatever you like."

Hina Aoki stared into Toru Tazaki's eyes for a long time, then slightly pursed her lips.

"I was just saying, but I still think it sounds better to call him Tazaki-kun."

A mere title doesn't change anything.

Tazaki Tomoya understood this principle, and Aoki Hina also understood it.

234. And so, she finally broke down.

Break time.

Mika Kohinata was sitting in the lounge, catching her breath.

The once empty little head was now filled by the two people on the outside.

Not long after, another girl, also wearing a waitress uniform, walked in.

As soon as she walked in, the girl came excitedly to her side.

"Miss Takagi, have you seen that guest at table number 3? He's so handsome!" The young girl in front of her crossed her arms and looked completely infatuated.

Mika Kohinata knew that she was talking about Toru Tazaki.

"Oh, what a pity."

"pity?"

“He brought his girlfriend with him. Otherwise, even if the supervisor scolded me, I would still ask for his contact information.” The girl next to him clenched her fist tightly.

"........."

"But his girlfriend is so pretty too. How can I become such a cute girl?"

That's the kind of thing I want to know.

Just how adorable does a girl have to be to catch his eye?

Mika Kohinata thought to herself.

"Who says they necessarily have to be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Huh? Isn't this obvious?"

"They could just be ordinary friends."

"Where in the world can you find ordinary friends who go out on a date on Christmas Eve? Even if you do, after tonight, they won't be ordinary friends anymore."

"........."

What kind of logic is this? It really annoys her.

"Well, it could also be siblings or something like that."

Mika Kohinata insisted on refuting this.

"Hey~~~Are you going out for Christmas with your brother?"

The girl shuddered and said bluntly, "How disgusting."

What on earth is she thinking?

Mika Kohinata didn't want to discuss this topic any further, because no matter how she thought about it, she wouldn't get a satisfactory result.

"Ms. Takagi, is today your last day of work?"

"Yes, I'll be going back to my hometown in a few days."

"That's great, I still have to work on New Year's Day."

Mika Kohinata smiled slightly, but the smile didn't last long before it disappeared from her face.

She made a promise with Tazaki Toru that they would return to Minamiboso together in a few days.

But what if tomorrow, Tazaki Toru suddenly changes his mind and says that Minamiboso is indeed a boring and wild country like her, and he would never want to go there?

While harboring such worries, he was also certain in his heart that Tazaki Toru was not the kind of person who would break his word.

These two thoughts seemed to be twisted into a rope, spiraling upwards, making her uneasy.

This prompted her to take her phone out of the closet and stare blankly at the chat window with Toru Tazaki for a long time.

She didn't dare send a message to confirm the arrangements again until the break ended.

Inside the lobby.

Hina Aoki scooped out the last spoonful of matcha parfait.

When she first sat down, she was still trying to maintain a reserved demeanor, wanting to appear as a delicate girl who eats very little.

But perhaps because she saw Tazaki Toru's gentle attitude towards Kohinata Mika, she unconsciously developed a craving for food and couldn't control her appetite.

The meal didn't take too long. Before leaving, Aoki Hina went to the restroom to reapply her lipstick.

When I came out of the restroom, I saw Toru Tazaki standing in front of the restaurant, with Mika Kohinata in a waitress uniform standing next to him.

They seemed to be saying something.

Aoki Hina's lips twitched slightly, but she quickly composed herself and walked out of the restaurant with a smile.

With her keen observation, Aoki Hina was naturally able to notice the expression on Kohinata Mika's face and the way she looked at Tazaki Toru.

The emotions contained within were very familiar to her.

"Tazaki-kun, Mika-chan."
