Just as Misumi Mikoto and her group of six were chatting about their respective interests and enjoying the delicacies in front of them, the person Mikoto had been waiting for finally made a late appearance at the restaurant.
“Let me tell you, the crabs in this restaurant are specially shipped from Hokkaido, they’re the best quality king crabs with fantastic texture!” Kohinata Kaori said to Manami Sugita as they walked into the restaurant, excitedly introducing her to the place.
Manami Sugita wasn’t too desirous for these, but since she was out to have fun with Kohinata Kaori, she naturally wouldn’t dampen her friend’s enthusiasm and responded with a smile, “Then I really must try it.”
As the two walked in, Inomata Naoki naturally saw his junior sister and Manami Sugita.
Their seats were deliberately arranged, with the three girls sitting with their backs to the entrance, while the three gentlemen naturally took the seats facing the doorway.
Thus, when Kohinata Kaori walked in with Manami Sugita, Inomata Naoki only needed to lift his head to see them.
As for why Kohinata Kaori and Manami Sugita appeared, Chen Yu only needed to give his junior sister two discount coupons, then with a little hint and guidance, she would bring the expected guest to the arranged place at the agreed time.
Perhaps it was taking advantage of Kohinata Kaori, but for his own plan, Chen Yu had to make use of his junior sister.
Indeed, as planned, Inomata Naoki inevitably spotted Kohinata Kaori.
Although Naoki was slightly taken aback by Manami Sugita standing beside her, he still greeted Kohinata Kaori, “Kaori!
Over here!”
Hearing the call from Inomata Naoki, Kohinata Kaori, who had been talking with the owner about the lack of seats, immediately turned around and saw Inomata Naoki sitting at the table, and quickly greeted him, “Senior Brother Naoki!”
After the greeting, Kohinata Kaori also pulled Manami Sugita over to Inomata Naoki’s table.
“Kaori, are you guys here to eat too?
I saw you talking with the owner, is there no seating?” Seeing Kohinata Kaori approach, Inomata Naoki asked with concern, he was always warm-hearted towards his junior sister.
The restaurant was busy with many customers at the time, not looking like there were any vacant seats.
To Inomata Naoki’s question, Kohinata Kaori nodded and replied, “Yeah, Senior Brother Chen gave me two discount coupons for here, so I brought a friend along.
I didn’t expect it to be this crowded, and there are no seats available now.
Why are you guys here, Senior Brother Naoki?”
“Doctor Tokairin invited me to go to a hot spring with her, and we just got back, so we came here together for some food,” Inomata Naoki explained.
Seeing that Kohinata Kaori still seemed to be a bit lost, he quickly added, “Doctor Tokairin is now my girlfriend.”
Hearing Inomata Naoki speak, Kohinata Kaori immediately congratulated him: “Congratulations, Second Senior Brother!
You’ve finally waited till the clouds parted to see the bright moon, able to leave the ranks of Mages!”
“I’ll take your auspicious words.” Kohinata Kaori’s congratulations made Inomata Naoki smile.
Noticing that she and Manami Sugita had not found seats yet, he said to her: “This restaurant is always busy; you might have to wait a long time for a spot.
Why don’t you sit down and share a table with us?”
Seeing Inomata Naoki speak up, Misumi Mikoto, who had originally intended to invite Kohinata Kaori and Manami Sugita to share a table, also enthusiastically said: “Yeah, yeah, come over and join us.
After all, we are all acquainted, so no one will mind.”
“Is that really okay?” Although of the six people, Qingdai was her colleague, Kube Rokuro was Professor Kube’s son, and she had met Naoki’s girlfriend before, Kohinata Kaori still felt somewhat embarrassed, especially since Manami Sugita was not familiar with these people.
However, seeing that they had moved to make two spots available, she turned to ask Manami Sugita for her opinion, and then both sat down together.
After a round of introductions, the eight people at the dining table finally got to know each other.
“So you’re Doctor Chen Yu’s junior sister!
Doctor Chen Yu has been a great help to UDI!
The last time Meiqin and Rokuro were trapped and nearly had an accident, it was Doctor Chen Yu who reported to the authorities on time and got them rescued.” Hearing Inomata Naoki introduce Kohinata Kaori as Chen Yu’s junior sister, even though she had already met her once, Tokairin Yuko still greeted her warmly.
Kohinata Kaori naturally held admiration for her senior brother, expressing pride in her tone when she talked about him: “Senior Brother Chen is always so eager to help others.
In university, it was also because I had something I needed help with that I got to know Senior Brother Chen.
At that time, Chen was still an assistant for Professor Kube; when we had questions or were afraid to ask the professor, we would go to Senior Brother Chen.”
“Eh?
Professor Kube?
Miss Kaori, if you are Professor Kube’s student, then isn’t Rokuro also your senior brother?” Misumi Mikoto, hearing Kohinata Kaori mention Professor Kube, asked with curiosity.
However, Kohinata Kaori’s attitude towards Kube Rokuro was one of disdain as she snorted and said: “He should be calling me senior sister.
Rokuro is younger than I am!
Hurry up and call me Senior Sister!”
“Senior Sister Kaori!” With Kohinata Kaori’s prompting, Kube Rokuro had no choice but to address her as senior sister.
“By the way, who might this be?” Misumi Mikoto noticed Manami Sugita sitting next to Kohinata Kaori and seeing her stealing glances at Inomata Naoki, immediately understood that she was the person she was looking for, so she inquired with Kohinata Kaori.
Hearing Misumi Mikoto’s inquiry, Kohinata Kaori then realized that she had not yet introduced Manami Sugita, so she quickly apologized and finally introduced her: “This is Manami Sugita, my good friend.
Her family runs a restaurant near the hospital.
Senior Brother Chen has taken me there a few times; the food is really good!”
“Hello everyone, I am Manami Sugita.
Please be kind to me.” Manami Sugita also hurriedly introduced herself, but her gaze was still fixed on Inomata Naoki.
This was her first time being so close to Inomata Naoki.
Although she had decided not to get involved with this man, when he appeared before her, Manami Sugita still felt an inescapable allure.
Could this be what they call destiny?
Manami Sugita didn’t know, but upon learning that he was her fated other half, even knowing that she was already dead and nothing could happen between them, Manami Sugita still uncontrollably felt a sense of inexplicable panic and confusion.
