Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 27.5

Yamada spends the New Year holiday at home reading books, receiving text messages from her boss, and eventually agreeing to help clean up and visit a shrine with her family. Meanwhile, Sasaki visits a shrine, smokes while reflecting on his previous year of fortunate encounters, and wonders if he is cursed to always draw bad luck fortunes. Later, Sasaki bumps into Miss Tayama during her own holiday break, and the two happily share a smoke together behind the store. Tayama teases Sasaki about his weather-based winter clothing and heat pack usage, leading into a lighthearted debate about fashion and cold tolerance.
