    “Natsuki? Natsuki?” Ayano called him twice in a row before Aoi responded.

    “What’s the matter, I flirted with you a couple of times today and then I lost my voice, you don’t really have no one to ask out for Christmas, do you?”

    “No, I have a date with a friend on Christmas day, Ayano didn’t you make any arrangements yourself? With a personality like yours you should have made quite a few friends.” Aoi Natsuki asked rhetorically.

    “Well, that’s for sure, it’s just a shame that I had this day free because I had plans, but then it was canceled and I’m free now, so if you’re not doing anything on that day, maybe we can have a Christmas, but don’t get me wrong, it’s just to discuss comic related things.”

    “What do I have to misunderstand, it’s just that I already have a date that day, but if you really don’t have a place to go, you can come along, just a few acquaintances.” Aoi Natsuki thought that since Christmas was unfolding the way it was, it would be nice for a few people to get together for a barbecue.

    Hey, it’s true that the cohesion between girlfriends is still huge.

    It’s overthinking yourself.

    “Ohhhh, that’s fine, I should be fine, text me then.” With that, Ayano Takahashi made an appointment with Aoi.

    Aoi Natsuki thought about it, so that the number of people on Christmas day would be herself, Rina, Yusuke, and Ayano, and it felt pretty good.

    Think of it as a boost to the friendship aura.

    ……

    The other side.

    “Really, do we really have to do this …… I, I think Christmas is still, kinda important …… ” Keiko Hayakawa stammered.

    Takahashi Mito, who was sipping milk tea on the side, said with a serious face, “Of course, if you think about getting tired of him all day long, that boy will soon get bored of you! Believe me, you don’t have to go out on every holiday, do you? You can see him every day at school.”

    “But, but …… Takahashi aren’t you also hi, hi ……” Hayakawa Keiko said as her face brushed red.

    Takahashi Mito also heard her subtext, all of a sudden her eyes widened, and quickly said: “I’ve explained it before, I, I don’t have a crush on that guy! You yourself like Aoi can not bring me ah! And to say such ridiculous words as to compete with me on a level playing field, it’s really too outrageous!”

    Takahashi Mito refuses to recognize Hayakawa’s suspicions.

    Although Hayakawa felt that there was still something wrong with Metu’s demeanor, after such a long time of denial, she was also a little bit of a little bit of a believer in some of them, it’s just that Christmas is obviously such a good opportunity, is it really good to just give up on it ……

    Hayakawa raised his eyes again to look down at Midu, whose eyes were still firmly looking up at him.

    Well ……

    As it was, she had no choice but to recognize it.

    Just ……

    Hayakawa Keiko’s tone became noticeably more cautious, leaning up tremblingly and asking tentatively, “Then, then, Metu, you, you have to promise me that by, by then you can’t sneakily meet up with Natsuki!”

    “Huh? You’re kidding me! Do I look like that kind of mean woman! Saying it’s a girlfriends’ night is a girlfriends’ night.” With that, Takahashi Mito turned around violently, grabbed her hands tightly, and said seriously, “Please do believe in our friendship!”

    This time under this atmosphere, Hayakawa could finally only nod his head in acquiescence.

    In her mind, both Meto and Aoi were quite important to her.

    Yeah! Don’t think too much! Keiko! Just think of that day as girlfriends’ night!

    Takahashi Midu was also relieved, a smile returning to her face as she took a sip of her milk tea in her right hand.

    Pudding, taro, coconut, and red beans went down the straw from the cup to her mouth.

    This scene was all watched by Hayakawa who was next to him.

    Her eyes began to focus.

    “You, why are you looking at me like that ……” asked Takahashi Midu as she scrunched her neck.

    “Medu, you ……” The next second Hayakawa Keiko directly pounced over, left hand holding her back, while her right hand was placed on her belly, immediately face shocked, “seems to have gained weight! “

    “Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

    Takahashi Midu froze when she heard that, then in a panic, she threw the milk tea in her hand into the trash can and ran out of the store with a lost voice.

    No!

    She couldn’t take it!

    She can’t accept that!

    ……

    Takahashi Mito returned home disoriented.

    As soon as I opened the door, the lights inside were dimmed… wasn’t Ayano home? Normally at this time she would be in the living room catching up on her drama.

    Turning on the light, the pent-up emotion came flooding back when she felt an inexplicable piling sensation in the small of her back as she bent over to change her shoes.

    It’s hard for other people to understand the crumbling mental thoughts of women when they put on weight, and even though Takahashi Mito is all about misogyny, the definition of love of beauty has never been to just like it yourself and not to care about other people’s eyes, but right now, even she’s barely able to accept herself.

    She gently pinched the flesh of her waist, which was actually okay, not fat for her size, but she had been thin once before, so once she gained a little weight, it felt like a sea change.

    At the same time, the moment she bent over to get up, her eyes also caught sight of the scale in the corner of the living room wall.

    Devil!

    Who on earth designed something so devilish!

    The more Takahashi Midu looked, the angrier she got, and with her backpack on, she walked quickly up to the second floor.

    Just as she went up to the second floor corridor, she saw a light shining between the cracks of the door to Ayano’s room.

    What’s wrong with you? You’re at home.

    She walked up and was about to say hello when she only heard the boys’ voices coming from inside.

    A very noticeable current tone indicates a network call.

    “Christmas customs, let’s see. Reindeer, white-bearded grandpas, chimney climbing?”

    “But modern houses don’t have chimneys at all eh, is it hard to come in through the balcony ……”

    “Haha, that seems like a pretty good idea, the story of the hulking Grandpa Christmas who doesn’t see the chimney so struggles to tumble in through the balcony, and eventually goes through a series of internal monologues before realizing that the balcony door is locked.”

    Ayano chimed in with a chuckle at that.

    And Mito Takahashi, who had come to the door with his ear attached, could only hear key words like Christmas from the other side.

    Christmas?

    That’s a sensitive word for her.

    With that she knocked on the door of the room.

    “I won’t talk to you, my sister is back, that’s enough for today.”

    “Uh, bye.”

    The male voice interrupts.

    A few seconds later, Ayano opened the door to the room, while Takahashi Mito saw the closed laptop from a distance through the open crack.

    “You’re back, sis.” Ayano narrowed her eyes and smiled as usual.

    “Uh-huh.” Takahashi Midu nodded, “I just heard as if you were talking about something about Christmas or something, are you out on your own for Christmas?”

    “Well, sort of, meeting a friend.” Ayano still smiled.

    “Oh …… that’s right, after all, you have so many friends, let’s not talk about it, it’s almost time to cook, come downstairs and help me out.” Takahashi Midu didn’t think too much about it, and after saying that, she put her backpack back to her room, and then took small steps towards the first floor.

    Takahashi Ayano, on the other hand, was slightly dazed.

    Looking back at the location of the laptop as well.

    So strange ……

    Why I’d say it’s a friend ……
