This dinner was somewhat a torture for Minami; although the full crab cuisine was indeed delicious, facing Inomata Naoki, Minami simply had no appetite to enjoy the delicacies.
Finally, after enduring through the meal, Minami and Kohinata Kaori took the car driven by Qingdai and parted ways with Inomata Naoki and his group; only then did Minami's mood begin to relax.
Kohinata Kaori naturally noticed that Minami's mood was off, but having already known that there was something amiss between her and Inomata Naoki since the last time, Kohinata Kaori did not know how to advise her.
After all, Minami and she hadn't known each other for long, and although she knew Minami wasn't a bad girl, considering that Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yuko were now happily together, Kohinata Kaori felt she could not find the words to encourage her in any way.
Yet, for Kohinata Kaori to persuade Minami to give up on Inomata Naoki was something she just couldn't bring herself to do.
