The teacher lives upstairs.
“What’s wrong?”
At the moment Kitagami Yoru turned around, he saw Kato Megumi standing by the kitchen door. He was startled by the sight.
“Nothing’s wrong; I just haven’t seen you in a while.”
Kato Megumi shook her head lightly.
Then, Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi sat down on the living room couch to chat.
Finally, Kato Megumi suggested they go out for a walk and dinner.
Kitagami Yoru naturally agreed.
He slept until almost noon, had a small snack to fill his stomach, and by late afternoon, he was hungry again.
After changing his clothes, Kitagami Yoru took out his phone and went outside with Kato Megumi for a walk.
They didn’t go anywhere specific; they just wandered around the streets and alleys nearby.
For dinner, they went to a ramen shop.
Kitagami Yoru ordered a seafood ramen with a few large shrimp and shellfish, mildly spicy.
“How’s that taste?”
Kato Megumi asked, dipping her soup spoon into the broth, stirring it up, and blowing a bubble before taking a sip.
“It’s good; I prefer light and fresh ramen.”
Kitagami Yoru took a big pile of ramen.
“I want to try yours.”
Kato Megumi looked up from her fried pork ramen with a glance, using her chopsticks to pick up some of Kitagami Yoru’s ramen and adding it to her own bowl.
Hearing this, Kitagami Yoru felt a bit surprised. This was getting too intimate, wasn’t it?
He had eaten ramen before, but it was different from the lunch he’d had.
Despite his thoughts, he didn’t seem to mind Kato Megumi; he nodded lightly.
Kato Megumi smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, using her chopsticks to transfer some of Kitagami Yoru’s ramen into her own bowl and then sending it down her throat.
After finishing dinner, they walked outside for a bit more.
The night had grown dark; they said goodbye and went their separate ways.
“So, see you next week.”
Kitagami Yoru got into the car first, turned around to wave at Kato Megumi.
“Next week, then.”
Kato Megumi let out a small sigh, feeling a strange sense of loss.
It seems they spent a lot of time together with Kitagami Yoru…
How should she handle this?
On her way home, Kitagami Yoru declined a few advances from passing women.
He returned home around eight thirty.
After playing with San-san for a while, he took a bath and washed up before lying back on the bed.
His mind was full; he didn’t feel sleepy at all.
Picking up the art book on his bedside table, Kitagami Yoru flipped through it casually.
“Oh yeah, I should post this online to see who it belongs to.”
The idea that had been floating in his mind earlier resurfaced.
Acting on it, he took photos of the high-end art book’s cover and a few pages that showcased the artist’s style.
After editing the post, he uploaded it to Yahoo Forum.
Waiting for the right person to find it or the artist to contact him.
Once done, Kitagami Yoru lost interest and tossed the book back, lying down on the bed.
“San-san?”
These days, the evenings have been getting colder.
Kitagami Yoru pulls up a thin blanket to cover herself, calling San-san’s name.
Outside, San-san is squished into a large black ball on the couch, hearing her master call out her name and immediately lifting her head.
Its large amber eyes glow alluringly in the darkness!
“San-san, come here.”
Kitagami Yoru adjusts a comfortable position.
“Ugh, it’s so cold tonight. If I could snuggle up with a soft girl, that’d be perfect.”
“In a while, it’ll get even colder and start snowing.”
San-san jumps off the couch and runs straight into the room, standing at the door looking at Kitagami Yoru.
“Come over, so I can hold you tonight.”
Kitagami Yoru waves her hand.
San-san should have understood and strolled over to the bed, leaping up smoothly.
“Meow.”
She lets out a soft purr and settles quietly beside Kitagami Yoru.
Kitagami Yoru smiles, reaching out to stroke San-san before letting her go.
Rechecking her phone for an hour of short videos.
Feeling a bit sleepy, Kitagami Yoru gets up to turn off the light, leaving the table lamp by the bed.
She crawls into bed, still looking at her phone without intending to sleep.
“Let me see… I need to reply to her message.”
Kitagami Yoru opens LINE and goes to the chat with Kitagawa Marin.
“She asked if I like playing romantic games, and she’s a girl—does she like it too?”
“No way, that’s such an odd hobby.”
“Yeah, I actually do enjoy it. And I’m not some office worker.”
She types out a smooth response and sends it.
On the other side…
Kitagawa Marin is applying a mask, hearing her phone vibrate. She picks it up to see.
“Oh yeah… uh…”
Her exaggerated expression causes the mask to slip down, leaving it on her lips and affecting her speech.
She quickly removes the mask and types out a message.
“Please tell me what you do for work.”
“You’re always leaving things to stress me out, right?”
(｀⌒´メ)!!!
“Oh, I have something urgent—no, I’m not trying to stress you…”
“I don’t hold any grudges against you.”
Kitagami Yoru smiles, like two strangers, in response.
Of course, he knows Kitagawa Marin and recognizes the person on the other side.
Kitagawa Marin definitely knows herself but only by name and has seen her from far away.
She doesn’t know she’s talking to herself.
“Anyway, next time don’t stress me like that!”
Kitagawa Marin types furiously on the phone keypad, editing her message.
“Will there be a next time?”
Kitagami Yoru slightly looks surprised in response.
“So you don’t like my style of chatting as a beautiful woman?”
Except for when Kitagami Yoru frequently disappears at crucial moments, Kitagawa Marin finds their chats quite comfortable.
And this completely unknown web friend made me feel a little curious.
“I don’t dislike them.”
Kitagami Yoru said with a smile.
“Why do my fans not grow taller…?”
Kitagawa Marin expressed her concern.
“No, I want people to see my cosplays and share them. Money is secondary.”
Kitagawa Marin responded decisively.
“Then you should start with simpler roles.”
Kitagami Yoru’s eyes started twitching as he suppressed a yawn.
“Well, I think you’re a bit smaller.”
“Your suggestion is to start cosplaying simple characters. You don’t sew clothes yourself, do you?”
He sat up and drank some cold water before lying back down to sleep.
“You’re saying I’m younger than you? Do you know how old I am?”
Kitagawa Marin asked curiously.
Both Kitagami Yoru and Kitagawa Marin are second-year students at Shuchiin Academy, with age differences not exceeding a year.
For example, in the same batch of first graders, there are five-year-olds and six-year-olds.
Kitagami Yoru is exactly five years old, born in mid-December, making him the youngest in their group.
By age alone, he’s the smallest among all second-year high school students at Shuchiin Academy.
Well…
He let out a “Big sister～” towards the petite and adorable Eriri.
After some more conversation with Kitagawa Marin, Kitagami Yoru fell asleep.
The next morning,
Kitagami Yoru was woken up by noises coming from above.
So he sat up, looking groggy.
“Who’s making all this noise at this early hour?”
Kitagami Yoru scowled and glared at the ceiling.
Just as he finished his complaint, more noises came from above.
“Ding-dong!”
Then a series of heavy crashes followed by irregular hard objects falling to the ground, creating relentless and annoying sounds.
It was just like the sound of metal lunchboxes or bowls dropping to the floor.
“It’s so loud!”
Kitagami Yoru stuffed his ears.
The sleepy San-san couldn’t take it anymore, shaking her ears.
Kitsugami Yoru flips over and gets out of bed, putting on slippers.
The weather today is cloudy with a light breeze, and the morning dew hasn’t yet dried up.
A slight breeze comes through the window, causing Kitsugami Yoru to shiver.
After washing up and having breakfast, he rests for a bit before starting his workout.
Currently, Kitsugami Yoru has lost a significant amount of weight and is planning to start gaining muscle!
Gaining muscle means eating more high-quality carbohydrates and proteins while reducing fat intake.
Through extensive training, muscles are torn apart, relying on carbs and proteins for recovery and growth.
Everyone’s preferences and training plans differ based on their preferred areas to train.
For example, you don’t need to specifically target the abdominal muscles for weight loss; they naturally engage during other exercises.
Legs are a must to train.
Kitsugami Yoru has heard advice from fitness influencers and doctors suggesting deep squats and core-building moves like gluteus workouts.
“I have a 10x multiplier effect with my efforts, choosing a five-split training method for the best results.”
He’s decided on his workout intensity and plan.
“Over time, Eriri won’t be able to take it anymore?”
“I’ve got a 10x multiplier effect with my efforts, choosing a five-split training method for the best results.”
Kitsugami Yoru has finalized his workout intensity and plan.
Exercising for about an hour before bed is the optimal time.
Overdoing it would harm the body; even getting abs while in the hospital isn’t worth it.
This morning, Kitsugami Yoru just needs to get familiar with standard movements and warm up.
Different areas require different exercises.
In a short half-hour, the person upstairs occasionally makes some annoying noises.
I wonder what they’re doing.
“Could it be…”
Kitsugami Yoru’s train of thought shifts to many horror stories and news about violent crimes like murders.
“Not possible.”
While stretching, Kitsugami Yoru suddenly stops,惊疑起来。
However, he quickly dismisses this baseless concern.
It’s impossible; it’s too unimaginable.
“But what is the person upstairs even doing?”
“It’s way too loud!”
Kitsugami Yoru thinks his patience and tolerance for noise are decreasing as he grows more irritable.
He reflects on his past as a fat, lazy shut-in, where he was used to being bullied.
This irritation is growing with each passing moment of the noise.
After finishing his stretch, Kitsugami Yoru uses a towel to wipe away the sweat and gives San-san a quick scratch before leaving.
He takes a deep breath and heads upstairs after stepping out.
Knocking lightly on the door of the upstairs neighbor’s apartment.
Entering the apartment.
Mafuyu Kirisu is wearing thick gloves and muttering to herself, “I can’t do anything right.”
She accidentally knocks over a display case while trying to wipe down an ice skating trophy.
Several trophies crash to the floor, making a commotion.
After managing to lift the display case and collect the trophies, she slips while cleaning up.
A plate crashes to the floor, shattering into pieces.
“Dokkondoko!”
The door to the new apartment is knocked by Kitsugami Yoru.
Mafuyu Kirisu doesn’t immediately recognize the knock.
Because she officially moved here yesterday afternoon.
“Hello……”
“Is there anyone?”
Kitagami Yoru knocked on the door for the first time, and after a few seconds, there was no response. He increased the force of his knocks and called out.
Mafuyu Kirisu wasn’t familiar with Kitagami Yoru’s voice, so she couldn’t tell if it was her student.
She turned to look at the door in confusion.
“Is there someone?”
Mafuyu Kirisu looked a bit disbelief on her face.
Except for her sister Kirisu Mei, who knew she had moved here, no one else was there.
She doubted it and quickly picked up the last piece of debris, placing it into the double-layered trash bag.
While taking off her gloves, she walked over to open the door.
Kitagami Yoru furrowed his brow slightly, truly beginning to suspect what this unfamiliar neighbor was doing.
No reaction?
“Click-clack – -“
Just as Kitagami Yoru was thinking that, the apartment door, which had been locked, opened halfway, and Mafuyu Kirisu stuck her head out.
“You…?”
Kitagami Yoru took a step back and gasped in surprise.
The expression of surprise clearly appeared on his face.
It was Mafuyu Kirisu who opened the door, which made things even narrower.
The moving worker she had seen earlier—was that Mafuyu Kirisu’s furniture?
Kitagami Yoru quickly connected it to what he had seen before.
“Is that you?”
Mafuyu Kirisu blankly stared for a moment, her face also showing惊讶.
“Why are you knocking on my door? Is there something wrong?”
“No, I’m just a bit noisy; I heard a lot of noises.”
“I thought it was something else, but now I see it’s Kirisu-sensei.”
Kitagami Yoru quickly composed himself and said quietly.
His face still couldn’t be torn apart.
But he disliked Mafuyu Kirisu; he couldn’t pretend.
He needed to figure out what was going on, so he turned his back without giving her a chance to speak.
“Am I being too loud?”
Mafuyu Kirisu closed the door and began to think seriously.
Back at home, Kitagami Yoru’s expression was a bit grim; overall, he wasn’t happy.
Mafuyu Kirisu lived on the second floor of her house—truly dramatic.
“heh heh…”
Suddenly, Kitagami Yoru let out two cold laughs, his expression complex.
His good mood for the day was ruined.
He took a bath and started studying to catch up on his homework.
In the afternoon, he received a message from Sakurajima Mai.
“Do you miss me? Are you at home?”
Kitagami Yoru fed some cat food and water to San-san, then left for their appointment.
The key to avenging Shinomiya Kaguya and Mafuyu Kirisu lies with Sakurajima Mai and her special ability!
“This is kind of using Sakurajima-senpai’s bad luck….”
Kitagami Yoru walked toward the train station, his mind calculating.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived near the Sakurajima Mai apartment tower.
Turned a corner about fifty meters away.
“Get down and open the door for me.”
Kitagami Yoru slowly turned the corner toward the tower.
Then,
The automatic door of the tower opened.
Yukinoshita Mrs., wearing a kimono, had her black hair neatly styled, walking ahead of her two daughters, exuding an air of elegance and authority.
And subtly imposing.
