Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You Chapter 47

Sasaki arrives at the supermarket expecting his usual routine, only to realize that Yamada is uncharacteristically quiet and distant during her shift. Days pass without any chance to smoke behind the building together, leaving Sasaki worried and determined to talk things out. While visiting the store again, he runs into Ms. Ono outside, who shares her own intuitive concerns about Yamada's well-being and tendency to bottle up her feelings. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted when Obata rushes over in a panic, revealing that Yamada is over an hour late for her shift and cannot be reached.
