Blue Box Chapter 85 Recap

The previous chapter of the manga series opens up with Taiki, who thinks that Yumeka hates him because she believes that he is Chinatsu Sanpai’s boyfriend, he knows that he will have to clear that up, but it’s not like he is obligated to.

Later in the chapter, we find out something shocking when Taiki buys a cup of tea right after dental treatment, Yumeka warns him not to drink it as it contains sugar which is not suitable for his teeth. When he asks her how she knows that much about dental hygiene, she replies that she used to work as a part-timer at the front desk.

This thing shocks him a little bit and forces him to ask her why she quit the job, and then later, she reveals some shocking plot line of the story. She tells him that the reason behind he left the job was not because she wanted to earn her own spending money, but because she started to hate Chinatsu!!

Later she also says that she was sick of basketball and didn’t care about anything related to the game. Even though both of them (Yumka and Chinatsu) were so close in Junior High yet she hated her, which was very unacceptable for our guy.

He also believes that, although she hates her that much, she might have never told her about all this, but this was quite the opposite of reality.

Later in the chapter, we see Taiki, who, when he approaches the home, finds Chinatsu outside, who is also all set to go on a walk on the freezing cold day. She also invites Taiki to walk with her because she wants it to really feel like winter.

When Taiki asks her where they are headed, she replies that there is not any particular place they are going, and they will see where their feet take them. Based on how she reacted before, Taiki thinks that it would have been better if he didn’t mention that he saw Yumeka.

Later we saw that describing the time when they were looking out from the observation deck, there were all these little individual points of light, but, now looking at it from down there, where it’s so dense, she feels so dense.

She later apologizes to Taiki on behalf of her friend (Yumeka) because she believes that Yumeka hurt his feelings. When Taiki mentions that ever since they were little, she played basketball together with Yumeka, didn’t she?

She replies that she has played together since second grade, and Yumeka has always been an intense person. When it came to playing with a ball, all she had ever done was throw one; seeing basketball professionals was a shock to her, but later her mother introduced her to Yumeka.

She was even in the same age group; she freely handled the ball and ran across the court to bring it to the basket. At the sight of her, Chinatsu was filled with admiration.
