She did prepare a birthday present, and she had originally planned to give it to Kato Megumi privately after she went to school tomorrow.
However, she was carried in here and now sat in the living room. Although Kirisu Madoka had accepted her fate, she was still a little conflicted in her heart.
What bothered her most was why Kato Megumi invited her.
It would be understandable if I said that I gave Kato Megumi some special care at school, or had a good relationship with Kato Megumi, but none of these happened.
On the contrary, many times, Kirisu Madoka would unknowingly ignore Kato Megumi.
When meeting Kato Megumi, it is Kirisu Mafuyu who greets her first before Kirisu Mafuyu notices her.
What Kirisu Mafuyu didn't know was that Kato Megumi actually invited Kirisu Mafuyu to come over for Kato Hiromi's sake.
Since the work
After the studio got on track, the pressure on Hiromi Kato became increasingly heavy.
Although Hiromi Kato enjoys this kind of pressure, her potential is unleashed under this pressure.
However, from an outsider's perspective, Kato Megumi can see that Kato Hiromi actually needs an opportunity to release pressure. Otherwise, more and more pressure will accumulate on Kato Hiromi, which will only gradually make her numb.
Drinking with good friends is actually a good way to relieve stress.
Even though Kato Megumi doesn't like alcohol and doesn't like Kato Hiromi drinking, she has to admit that every time Kato Hiromi gets drunk with a few friends, she releases a lot of pressure.
Some people say that "drinking to drown your sorrows only makes you more sorrowful." Alcohol can only numb you temporarily, but there are indeed some people who become happy all of a sudden when they are drunk.
This kind of thing has two sides. When Hiromi Kato is unable to relieve her stress, arranging for her to get together with good friends and have a drink will definitely be beneficial to Hiromi Kato.
Chapter 2341: The Bridge of Friends
It was around seven o'clock in the evening when Sora Ginko arrived at Kato's house.
Although Hinazuru Ai and the others had arrived a long time ago, Sora Ginko stayed at home until the dinner was about to begin, then she left home.
Fortunately, Kiyotaki's house is very close to Kato's house, only two or three minutes away from the door. And because it was evening, Sora Ginko didn't even open an umbrella and just walked over.
When they arrived at the room, Kong Yinzi wanted to go and see Kato Megumi and give out the gift she had prepared as soon as possible.
However, after discovering that Kato Megumi was busy in the kitchen, she temporarily gave up this idea and walked to Hinazuru Ai and the others and watched them play chess.
Not long after Kong Yinzi came, Kato Megumi's parents finally came back with a cake.
Although cakes can be ordered in advance, it is obvious that freshly baked ones are more delicious.
And the two of them also wanted to express their love. Although they couldn't make the decoration, they could still make the cake base under the guidance of the pastry chef.
When they saw the finished cake, they couldn’t help but feel relieved that all their efforts and waiting were not in vain.
After getting the cake, they realized that it was almost seven o'clock, so they hurried home.
They originally thought that they might not be able to make it to the dinner, but when they got home, they realized that the dinner had not started yet.
Looking at the living room that was already somewhat congested with traffic, Kato's parents were also a little surprised.
They originally thought that having six or seven guests today would be a big deal, but they didn't expect there would be so many.
Moreover, Kato Megumi has not invited her relatives, otherwise there would be even more guests.
Although a large part of Kato's relatives are not in Tokyo, it may be a bit troublesome for them to come over, but there are still some relatives in Tokyo.
When Kato Megumi was in junior high school, she worked for an uncle to look after a store for a period of time.
Later, the uncle ignored the presence of Kato Megumi in the store and locked her inside the door after closing the store.
In the end, the uncle did not pay Kato Megumi's part-time salary. It was not that he deliberately deducted the money, but that he really ignored the matter.
Although she had such energy, in fact, Kato Megumi had a very good relationship with her uncle's family. If she invited them over, they would definitely accept it with pleasure. As for whether they could remember it at that time, that was another matter.
In addition, Kato Megumi has an uncle who is also in Tokyo. Kato Megumi had previously attended a parent-teacher meeting for her uncle's younger daughter, and Yuyama Kazuto had also met this cousin of Kato Megumi.
In addition, Kato Megumi's cousin Kato Keiichi is also currently interning at a hospital in Tokyo, and he will definitely come if he receives an invitation.
However, considering that there were already many guests at home, and inviting relatives over might cause unnecessary pressure on some friends, Kato Megumi finally gave up this plan.
Even so, there were already a lot of guests at home. Although the dining table at Kato's house was a large round table, it probably couldn't seat so many people. It had to be divided into at least two tables.
However, it is relatively simple to divide the tables. Hiromi Kato and his friends can sit at one table for drinking, and the others should be able to fit at the big round table.
Therefore, today's dishes are also cooked according to the standard of double portion, except that one portion is slightly more and the other is slightly less.
"It's done." After pouring the food in the pot into the plate, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
He turned his head and glanced at Touka Takanashi. She had just finished the last dish and there were even some beads of sweat on her forehead.
It is a little difficult to cook so many dishes on two stoves.
Although Kato Megumi and Izumi Sagiri were there to help, in reality, the real hard work was done by Hayama Kazuto and Takanashi Touka.
Although there might be more guests on Yushan Kazuto's birthday, the number of people responsible for the cooking would be more than the current number.
The entire Vittorio's Cottage and all the kitchen staff participated in the preparation of Yushan Heren's birthday dinner. Even the purchase of ingredients was divided into several groups, which went to different purchasing locations.
And now, there are only four people in the entire kitchen.
Fortunately, with the full efforts of Yushan Kazuto and Takanashi Touka, their movements were very efficient and they managed to complete the preparation of the food.
"Are all the guests here?" After taking a look in the room, he saw that there were many more guests. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Kato Megumi and said.
"Everyone is here." Kato Megumi responded.
Among the guests she invited, only Fujinomiya Ningko, Eriri and Nishimiya Yuzuru did not come.
Needless to say, Fujinomiya Ningzi declined Kato Megumi's invitation due to her health reasons.
Eriri was busy with other things, and recently several of her commissions had deadlines, so she really couldn't spare the time to attend Kato Megumi's birthday party. She could only give Kato Megumi a birthday gift during the day and wish her a happy birthday.
As for Yuzuru Nishimiya, he had no interest in such things. Being able to attend Kazuto Hayama's birthday party was considered a special treatment.
With so many guests coming, Kato Megumi was already very satisfied.
She never thought that she could make so many friends.
And in Kato Megumi's view, all of this was brought to her by Hayama Kazuto.
After all, most of them actually have some connection with Yushan and others, and they got to know each other by using each other as a bridge.
For example, Sora Ginko, although Kato Hiromi knew Kiyotaki Keika and they often drank together, Kato Megumi had never had the opportunity to know each other before.
It was the appearance of Yushan Kazuto that gave Kato Megumi the opportunity to meet Sora Ginko.
This is even more true for many other people. If Sora Ginko still had the chance to get to know Kato Megumi through Kiyotaki Keika, then people like Touma Sanae and Takanashi Juuka would be completely isolated from Kato Megumi.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get ready for the meal." On the other side, the voice of Yushan Kazuto interrupted Kato Megumi's thoughts.
Kato Megumi couldn't help but blink slightly. She didn't expect that she was distracted for a moment.
"Where is the other table? I'll move it out." Yushan Heren stretched and said.
"No need!" Hearing this, Kato Megumi shook her head, walked out of the kitchen and came to the coffee table.
There are some snacks on the coffee table for everyone to relieve boredom or to eat when they feel craving.
The others were still a little reserved, but Rikka Takanashi was already half full after eating the snacks.
Walking to the coffee table, Kato Megumi cleaned it up, then squatted down and turned the hidden handle.
The entire coffee table was actually rising gradually, causing Yushan and others who were still in the kitchen to blink slightly.
Chapter 2344 Dinner Begins
From the beginning of its design, this coffee table was given the mission of serving as a temporary dining table when there are not enough dining tables at home.
However, in Kato's home, this function of the coffee table has never been used.
Even Kato's parents, who had purchased the coffee table, had somewhat forgotten this function of it. They stared in amazement at the movement of the coffee table being raised, wondering how their own coffee table could acquire this skill.
However, Kato Megumi remembered its effect. After all, when she went to the furniture market with her parents, she saw the store owner demonstrate this function.
Although, because this function has not been used for a long time, the handle is a little stuck when rotating, but after the coffee table is raised, it is still very stable.
"Dad, do you want to drink?" Kato Megumi said, looking at Kato's father standing aside.
"Drink? Okay!" Kato's father couldn't help but say after hearing that.
He loved to have a few drinks. On ordinary evenings, if he came home late, it was because Kato's father went to the nearby izakaya.
On the other side, Kato's mother couldn't help but look at Kato's father with a cold face, then turned her head and looked at Kato Megumi with a smile.
Kato Megumi couldn't help but complain in her heart. Although Kato's mother's actions just now were covert, Kato Megumi saw them all. The other party's disguise skills were much better than most Japanese drama actors.
Feeling the hidden threat in Kato's mother's eyes, Kato's father's face changed a little, and he could only say angrily: "Suddenly, I remembered that tomorrow is not the weekend, let's forget it."
Hearing this, Kato Keiya had no choice but to nod and walk towards the kitchen.
The reason for asking Kato's father whether he drank or not was mainly to make room for a seat at the big table.
If the other party went to the drinking table, the big table would obviously be more spacious, and it would also satisfy Kato's father's wish to have a drink, but he was stopped by Kato's mother.
But this is normal. Kato's mother didn't like Kato's father's drinking habit. In her opinion, Kato Hiromi was led astray by Kato's father, which is why she drinks frequently.
However, she can no longer control Hiromi Kato. Her ability and income are far beyond those of Kato's parents, and she is independent in many aspects. When Hiromi Kato drinks, Kato's mother can't say much.
However, Kato's mother still listened to Kato's father's words and did not have the courage to disobey him.
Seeing that the coffee table had been cleaned up, Hiromi Kato and others couldn't help but come over.
They knew that this tea table was definitely set up for them.
Otherwise, with so many of them, it would definitely not be appropriate for them to sit at a big table.
Looking at Hoshino Miyako who was still sitting in the corner, Kato Hiromi couldn't help but shout, "Miyako, you can come over now, we're going to have dinner soon!"
On the other side, Miyako Hoshino raised her head timidly, glanced at Hiromi Kato, then walked over quickly with her head down.
Kato Hiromi discovered by chance that Miyako Hoshino also drinks. Sometimes after finishing work at night, before midnight, she would drink one or two cans of beer with Miyako Hoshino.
But last time, because they drank too much, they slept in the studio until the next afternoon.
After that, the two never drank together again. After all, on the second night, they worked overtime until the morning of the third day. After breakfast, they continued to work on the third day.
Hiromi Kato doesn't want to mention that memory. Every time she recalls it, she feels like she's seeing stars.
But today, she had already finished her work ahead of time, so she didn't have to worry about drinking and delaying her work.
"Miyako, can you drink too?" Looking at Hoshino Miyako, Kiyotaki Katsuka asked curiously.
Although she had known Hoshino Miyako for some time, she didn't know that she could drink.
"Don't underestimate Miyako. Miyako's alcohol tolerance is quite good, only slightly less than mine." Kato Hiromi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Qingtaki Keika couldn't help but blink slightly. Kato Hiromi hasn't come to drink for a while, so she probably doesn't know how much she weighs.
You know, among Hiromi Kato, Mafuyu Kirisu, Sonoko Machida, and Keika Kiyotaki, Hiromi Kato has the second worst alcohol tolerance. He gets drunk after two or three glasses of beer in a pub.
The worst is Kirisu Madoka, who is the type who can drink two cans of beer and fall asleep directly, sleeping like a baby.
However, although Kato Hiromi is slightly stronger than Kirisu Madoka, her strength is limited.
Hoshino Miyako's alcohol tolerance is slightly lower than Kato Hiromi's. Kiyotaki Keika guessed that she should be the same as Kirisu Mafuyu, the type who can finish two cans.
But in fact, Miyako Hoshino's alcohol tolerance is much higher than Hiromi Kato's.
It’s just that the other party has a habit – he likes to drink it all in one gulp.
When you drink a gulp of beer, you may not feel anything at first. It's not as dramatic as a small drink!
But if you continue drinking, even if the amount of alcohol is the same, people who drink it all in one gulp will always pass out faster than those who sip it slowly.
The last accident was also because Miyako Hoshino drank three cans of beer in one breath.
As the boss and a competitive friend, Hiromi Kato felt that she could not lose to Miyako Hoshino, so she gritted her teeth and drank three cans.
Then when I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
"Yes, I can drink a little bit." After listening to Qingtaki Keika's words, Hoshino Miyako couldn't help but
vocal channel.
Hearing this, Qingtaki Keika nodded and further confirmed her thoughts.
She felt that Hoshino Miyako's alcohol tolerance might not be as good as Kirisu Madoka's!
"Drink less, I have classes tomorrow morning." On the other side, Kirisu Madoka spoke.
