While helping to clear the table, Nakatsura "the journalist" winked at Mano. Mano understood Nakatsura's intension. She immediately invited and escorted the woman in the hat to go to the restroom to clean herself. Nakatsura "the journalist" then followed them from behind.
Luckily, Mano had already come to enjoy a meal at the Shinkankyo Restaurant, so she knew where the restroom they were headed was. All the way to the restroom, Mano kept apologizing and asking if there was anything she could do to help the woman. Mano wondered if her actions were not excessive to make the woman feel annoyed.
The woman also seemed to know where the restroom they were headed was. Maybe she's been here a few times. When they arrived at the door to the restroom, Nakatsura "the journalist" motioned for Mano to follow the woman into the restroom.
"Make sure you look at each other. Watch how the woman's face reacts and observe her body language," whispered Nakatsura in Mano's ear just before she entered the restroom with the woman. Even though she felt a little strange, Mano was also curious about the woman who Nakatsura thought was Tsukamoto.
Arriving inside, the woman immediately cleaned the dress she was wearing. He turned to Mano. Mano took this opportunity to look at the woman in the hat, straight into her eyes. Mano knew that this might be considered rude, but she wasn't really a waitress. After all, Mano also wanted to learn more about the woman.
The woman's face was indeed similar to Tsukamoto's. Mano felt that the look in her eyes was different from the look in Tsukamoto's eyes. Although Mano has never met Tsukamoto in person, she has seen Tsukamoto's face several times, both in photos and videos. Even so, Mano still felt that Nakatsura's hunch was correct, that this woman was Tsukamoto. But Mano himself also could not be sure.
The woman returned Mano's gaze with a sharp look. Then she looked away and looked straight into the mirror. While cleaning her clothes, she did not say anything. Mano guessed her presence annoyed the woman, but not to the point of disgust that she had to tell her to leave.
They were in the restroom for over five minutes. When Mano and the woman came out of the restroom, Nakatsura was nowhere to be seen. Mano and the woman then walked to a table in the main dining room.
