Tsukino can't help but feel worthless, compared to Monica.
She had a list of reasons why.
1. Compared to Monica, she thinks she's not really that cute or pretty. She doesn't have the skinniest body or completely immaculate skin (Tsukino suffers from acne a lot) like Monica, nor does she really have any noticeable curves.
2. Her skill as a bread artisan really isn't anything compared to Monica. Tsukino got 3rd place in the Pantasia Newcomers Tournament, but Monica was a patissier champion. And Monica was new at bread when she entered the Monaco Cup and she beat Suwabara in the finals! Tsukino really doubted that even with all her talent that she could beat Suwabara. The samurai was definitely above her level.
3. Overall, Monica's got it all. She's an accomplished patissier, she's really pretty (Tsukino can't help but admit that), she has the skills for her profession (and for actual baking bread and stuff), and she was able to snag Kai Suwabara, of all people, as her boyfriend during the Monaco Cup!
Tsukino can't help but look up to the patissier a lot. She and Monica had talked with each other a few times, and the orange-haired patissier had tried to give some advice.
"If you want to achieve your dreams, you've got to keep working for it! I'm still working for my dream, to have my candy castle, right? You have to work for your dreams if you want to achieve them, I think."
Hm. Maybe it was just Tsukino overthinking a bit, but...maybe her looking up to Monica wasn't just out of respect. Was it out of some sort of...liking towards her? She wasn't really sure. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know for sure, anyway, especially that Monica has a guy that loves her already.
She's not sure if she'll ever know.
