Chapter 127 Meeting between friends (1/2)
Yaeko couldn't focus on her work in the company. She kept remembering her mother's words last night.
”Be honest with your feelings, huh?” Yaeko muttered, but suddenly someone slapped her back.
”What's wrong? Your face is more gloomy than yesterday, even though you started to get better a few days ago,” Yaeko looked at her friend with hateful expression.
”Nothing,” Yaeko didn't say anything and was trying to continue her job.
”Ara, what is it? Are you fighting with your boyfriend?” Her words made her lose her focus.
”Wha-what are you talking about!!” Yaeko looked quite flustered.
Her friend was grinning, ”Hehehe, I want to know who can break those ice breaks like the heart of yours,” she took her phone and started to call her friends, ”Oi, Nanako, let's have a drink tonight, Yaeko get herself a boyfriend.”
”WHAT!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!! SURE, I'LL COME!! I'LL COME!!!” Her voice was very loud and made Yaeko trembled.
”SATSUKI!!!!” Yaeko was angry.
Satsuki Matsumae is a struggling novelist and journalist who soon enough elopes with her boyfriend to evade his debt. She is the characters from 'Hanasaku Iroha' and the mother of the main character.
”Wa-wait!! Let me call once more!!” Satsuki tried to push Yaeko and called someone, ”Ah, Eri? Are you there? Can you come with us to drink together tonight?”
”Sigh, what is it?” They heard a tired voice on the phone.
”Yaeko got herself a boyfriend, we need to know who this guy is,” Satsuki dropped a bomb.
”WHAT!! YAEKO GET HERSELF A BOYFRIEND!!” Eri was surprised, ”I'll come tonight!!!”
Satsuki looked satisfied and looked toward Yaeko who was grumbling. She sighed, ”Look, everyone is very worried about you since your husband has divorced you, we want you to be happy Yaeko.” She looked very sincere.
Yaeko still grumbled, ”You don't know anything!!!”
”That's why you need to tell us!! Tonight, let's have a drink with everyone!!!” Satsuki grabbed her shoulder, ”Unfortunately, Yukiko and Hana are still abroad, it'll be fun if they come with us like in the past.”
Yaeko sighed. She had never won against this friend of hers in the past, ”I still don't want to talk about it.”
”Hehehe, don't worry about it, we're just trying to meet with old friends,” Satsuki thought mischievously. She knew that Yaeko was very weak against alcohol and after she was drunk. She could start to ask her a question.

In the night time, Satsuki and Yaeko arrived at the bar where they had made a promise. They entered the bar and found both Nanako and Eri.
Nanako Onodera is a minor character in the Nisekoi series and is the mother of Kosaki and Haru Onodera. She is also the owner of the Onodera Sweets Shop.
Eri Kisaki is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan. Her real name is Eri Mouri. She began to use her maiden name again after she began living separately from her husband Kogoro Mouri. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. She has one daughter, Ran Mouri.
”You're late!!” Eri complained to both of them.
”Sorry, sorry, Yaeko is very stubborn and it was very hard to force her to come,” Satsuki said.
”Hmph!” Yaeko looked away.
”Yaeko, tell us!! You've got yourself a boyfriend right?” Nanako asked.
”Is it a serious relationship or a loose one like Satsuki?” Eri said while adjusting her glasses.
”WHAT!! MY RELATIONSHIP ISN'T LOOSE!!” Satsuki was mad.
”How many times have you changed your boyfriends in recent years?” Eri asked.
”If I'm not, she has changed to 5 boyfriends in recent years,” Nanako said.
