Worrying about the green.

“Like the late clouds, they’re all this color.”

“They look exactly the same, don’t they?”

Mentioning this, Kitagami Yoru is quite composed as he looks at Miura Yumiko.

As far as I remember.

Anyway, it’s unlikely he would forget something like this.

It’s the first time I’ve seen Miura Yumiko’s feet.

“Yes, that’s it!”

Yuigahama Yui hears this and suddenly realizes, turning to look at Kitagami Yoru.

“Hmm.”

Kitagami Yoru politely smiles at her as they glance at each other.

“Thump-thump!”

The girl’s heart races, blood rushing to her face, leaving her in a daze.

“Well, isn’t that so?”

Miura Yumiko proudly shows off her perfect legs.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Kitagami Yoru’s attention, which had just briefly shifted, now settles on Yuigahama Yui.

“Oh… uh-oh.”

Miura Yumiko cheerfully laughs, waving her hand and stretching lazily, naturally lifting her foot to showcase it.

“Can’t look anymore.”

The desire within him disrupts his self-control enough for Kitagami Yoru to interrupt.

Then, the early reading session is about to begin.

Miura Yumiko also puts on socks.

In the last few minutes before class starts, Kitagawa Marin says, “We’ll talk during the reading session.”

She actively brings up topics on her own to end the conversation.

The topics are mostly about anime they both enjoy, making them quite compatible in discussing subjects.

However, Kitagawa Marin still feels a slight mystery about him, which makes her even more interested.

“Why… Did I end up like this?” she wonders aloud.

When the bell rings, Yuigahama Yui sneaks a look at Kitagami Yoru’s almost obscured face.

She calls out to him but doesn’t get any response. Is that all?

Turning back around, Yuigahama Yui struggles with her writing, finding it quite difficult.

As time goes on, the class ends after a lesson.

Kitagami Yoru decides to step outside for some fresh autumn morning air.

Basking in the warm sunlight, he heads toward the boys’ restroom.

“I sent a message earlier asking Chika about it,” he says.

“The Student Council is pretty busy with early reading sessions….”

“But……”

Kitagami Yoru worries and frets while unbuttoning his uniform shirt in a secluded stall.

“I’ll wait until after the next class to get a response.”

He plans to go to the Student Council in the afternoon to see how she reacts and apologize properly.

The sound of water made Kitagami Yoru’s thoughts flow, his mind racing.

He pressed the drain on the toilet and went to the sink, washing his hands thoroughly before pulling at his hair.

His forehead and bangs were visible as he muttered silently: “My hair’s getting too long; I should just cut it shorter.”

“Another thing…”

“Just go with it!”

He wasn’t one to waver easily.

How did he treat Eriri before?

Without any hesitation.

On the contrary, he was quite methodical.

Where does Tomoya Aki fit in? Making girls angry on purpose by ignoring those who like him.

That’s just like a guy.

“Snort…”

“Is it from last night when he was blowing the AC and got sick?”

Tomoya Aki leaned on the desk, wiping his nose with his fingers.

He didn’t seem to mind the tiny drip of snot on his hand.

He rummaged through his backpack but found no paper, so he tore out a blank assignment notebook and wiped his nose on it.

After wiping his fingers, he went back to wipe his nose again.

“Wow…”

Kato Megumi was eating breakfast, drinking milk when she turned to see the person she despised.

Not only did he disgust her, but he also used his hand to wipe his nose and then used the assignment notebook without washing it?

Couldn’t help but mutter a dry heave:

“Ugh…”

Kato Megumi felt, for the first time at school, the urge to vomit.

A couple of minutes later,

A small group of girls sitting in the center of the classroom,

Could be seen by everyone,

Especially since their voices and commotion were quite loud when they spoke.

Tomoya Aki, Kato Megumi, and those sitting next to them all looked over.

“You see, I took a photo of him yesterday.”

“Up close, isn’t he more handsome?”

A member of the Art Club was showcasing a photo she had taken of Kitagami Yoru, flaunting it for her sisters to admire.

Her tone carried just a hint of that superior air, as if she deliberately made an effort to project it.

Everyone seemed more confident than usual,

All because they had taken a few photos of Kitagami Yoru?

That’s completely absurd. It’s beyond belief.

But the truth was that several girls were circling around her, repeatedly shouting for her to look at others or hand over her phone so they could get a closer look.

“What? Kitagami Yoru?”

Tomoya Aki furrowed his brow deeply as he gazed intently,

Meanwhile, the surrounding girls heard the commotion and began to gather around.

The scene was like a guy talking about an incredibly attractive girl wanting to be his girlfriend at a brotherly gathering.

When he brings it up at a brothers’ gathering, everyone at the table gathers around to see.

This very moment.

As Kitagami Yoru, who’s directly involved, would definitely lose his cool if he knew about this.

A few months ago, when time was going backward, he was still just a fat guy who didn’t care about anything.

Don’t talk about sneaking photos; otherwise, the girls will get scolded or disliked for no reason.

While the girls might not think it’s a big deal if they’re taking pictures of boys, even to the point of being insignificant.

“He’s so handsome! So cool!”

“Kitagami-san doesn’t have a girlfriend, does he?”

“You guys in the Art Club are all saying that, right?”

The number of girls in this small group suddenly doubles.

“Sawamura-san also said Kitagami-san is handsome, didn’t she?”

In one sentence, Tomoya Aki quickly catches on to it.

“Sawamura-san?”

In an instant, a vision of a cute white-haired gold-haired girl with twin tails appears in his mind. She’s confidently giving him orders.

Summoning himself while still looking annoyed.

At Shuchiin Academy, only Sawamura Eriri is the one who can be called “Sawamura-san,” so who else could it be?

Tomoya Aki immediately straightens his slouched posture and looks toward one of the art club’s female students.

Is that true or not?

Eriri doesn’t hold back her admiration for handsome guys, does she?

How could she say Kitagami Yoru is also handsome?

As he thinks about it, the image of Kitagami Yoru’s appearance comes to mind in Tomoya Aki’s eyes.

And Kitagami Yoru is so handsome, with such a good figure—hard to find in the world!

“No, no… Eriri wouldn’t…”

“She wouldn’t…”

“Eriri absolutely won’t like Kitagami Yoru. She likes me!”

“It’s impossible for her to say Kitagami Yoru is that handsome.”

Aki stands halfway up, then quickly sits back down, muttering furiously to herself.

Earlier, Eriri ignores his actions and the scene of him walking with Kitagami Yoru and Eriri comes vividly to mind.

She shakes her head vigorously, trying to shake it out but failing.

The more she thinks about it, the more restless she feels.

“Kitagami-san…”

Kato Megumi can feel something slipping away from her side.

She knows what that feeling is.

That must be her only good friend and the one she likes, Kitagami Yoru.

If Kitagami Yoru starts dating someone else, she’ll have to keep her distance.

Then… then…

Kato Megumi quickly stops herself, not daring to think about what comes next.

“Wait, why is Kitagami Yoru in the Art Club?”

After getting a bit frustrated, Tomoya Aki has an idea pop into his head.

Yeah.

How come Kitagami Yoru is in the Art Club?

That’s not far from Eriri at all!

Could it be…?

“Is Kitagami Yoru going to pursue Eriri like that?”

Once Tomoya Aki makes this realization, he starts to doubt.

It’s perfectly normal.

Eriri is so cute and popular, and she’s also a rare mixed-blood with fair skin.

Once Kitagami Yoru becomes handsome and goes after her, it makes perfect sense.

And that’s the best explanation.

Additionally, there’s Yukinoshita Yukino, a well-known second-year student.

Rumored to be cold, Eriri is also just a regular friend in the Art Club.

Otherwise, you rarely see her, and she’s also good at studying.

It seems like it might be slightly more complicated?

“Eriri!”

Tomoya Aki bites the bullet and makes a firm decision.

He plans to talk to Eriri about it after school tomorrow.

But he’s sure not to let Kitagami Yoru interfere with Eriri.

Despite his confidence that Eriri wouldn’t cheat on him, Tomoya is now unsure.

“Why not pursue someone else instead of me? Why won’t you give me a chance?”

“Damn it.”

Tomoya Aki mutters to himself.

Well, anyway…

He mentioned Yukinoshita Yukino, saying she and Kitagami Yoru had a bad relationship.

“Utaha-senpai over there, do you know if she’s following the doctor’s orders? Is her hallucination better now?”

“She’s an intelligent person, won’t she not pretend to not take her medicine?”

The short break has ended as the bell rings for class.

Second period is over.

Kitagami Yoru finally received a message from Fujiwara Chika.

“What’s up? I don’t want to see you right now.”

“I didn’t say that, did I? Am I completely forgiven?”

In the girls’ restroom, Fujiwara Chika is talking to herself inside a stall.

“How should I respond… Hmm…”

Kitagami Yoru scratches her head and leaves her seat.

“I need to apologize face-to-face.”

“There’s something I want to tell you.”

“Let’s have lunch together?”

After carefully considering the three messages, Kitagami Yoru chooses the third one.

“At lunchtime, shall we go out and eat together?”

“I haven’t had lunch with Chika yet.”

Kitagami Yoru sends the message and waits nervously for a reply.

“We just had dinner last night, so having lunch is fine.”

Fujiwara Chika decides her response based on some idea.

“Last night… Oh…”

All but forgot about the injury.

Kitagami Yoru tapped his head.

Again it begins, blowing cold and asking warm about Fujiwara Chika’s feet.

Actually, this is also for yourself.

After all, if you keep talking about this thing every day, what will happen to the injury?

During class time, there’s not enough to talk between them.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go see you.”

“See what you want to say.”

She pulled up her skirt and fat legs, but that little butterfly disappeared, Fujiwara Chika suppressing her laughter as she walked back.

After a night’s rest, the injury was completely fine when walking.

As long as there’s no intense exercise or running/jumping, it won’t cause any big issues.

So that means…

Fujiwara Chika can’t escape.

Back in the classroom, she drank some water, and Kitagami Yoru quietly waited for class to start.

The last class was math.

Originally a difficult and unpleasant course to understand, he could now easily explain it with one step leading to three.

As time slowly passed, Kitagami Yoru began to feel increasingly anxious inside.

“Just a few minutes left… Ugh…”

Thinking about soon seeing Fujiwara Chika, Kitagami Yoru felt extremely nervous and took deep breaths to calm himself.

Finally, the class ended.

The math teacher left early. Kitagami Yoru couldn’t hold back any longer, carrying the lunch he had prepared, and quickly walked out.

He went to his usual spot with Fujiwara Chika.

At a small pavilion by a dried-up pond.

They quickly finished their lunch. Kitagami Yoru, as usual, bought a black coffee and took it back home.

“Chika, she agreed, so she should be able to do it.”

“Won’t you leave me hanging?”

Next to the lunch box was a just-opened bottle of black coffee. Kitagami Yoru took a sip, already familiar with its bitter taste.

Meanwhile,

At Shuchiin Academy.

Every day includes morning classes, lunch breaks, and club activities.

The members of the Student Council gather together.

“Well… Kaguya-nii, I’m full.”

“I have to go now. You should eat slowly.”

Today, Fujiwara Chika was late. She hadn’t even picked up her lunch, so she decided to share it with Shinomiya Kaguya.

“Where are you going?”

Concerned about the unusual Fujiwara Chika, Shinomiya Kaguya asked.

“Back to the classroom for a bit.”

“Ha ha, I just wanted some sleep.”

Fujiwara Chika laughed and stretched, not wanting to admit she was supposed to meet Kitagami Yoru.

“Kaguya-nii really is something. Even though she did something wrong, how can she just apologize to Kitagami-san with her own lips?”

She waved her hand dismissively, her gaze lingering on Shinomiya Kaguya’s face.

Here’s a comfortable and quiet sofa. You should go to the Classroom to rest.

Shinomiya Kaguya looks on with a puzzled expression.

Fujiwara Chika slowly lowers her feet from the air, then carefully reduces her stepping pace.

Shinomiya Kaguya’s statement is quite reasonable.

“What should I do? What should I do?”

Fujiwara Chika spins her head rapidly, closes her eyes tightly, and pretends not to hear anything.

Her walking speed slows down as she frantically thinks of a lie to respond with.

“Fujiwara-san?”

Shinomiya Kaguya tilts her head, her pale neck moving slightly.

“There’s nothing wrong. I didn’t have breakfast this morning; my stomach feels off.”

“Let me go to the school clinic to get some medicine. It’s closer than walking back to the Teaching Building, and I don’t have the energy to go on.”

Fujiwara Chika smiles and explains, opening the Student Council door.

“If you’re not feeling well, there’s probably nothing wrong. You might not need to come in the afternoon.”

Shirogane Miyuki reminds her.

“Goodbye.”

Fujiwara Chika walks out without changing her expression.

After the door closes, she leans against it and gasps, pounding her chest.

She manages to get through it.

No one suspects a thing.

For some reason, she feels guilty about going to meet Kitagami Yoru as if she’s cheating on someone.

Waited for half an hour.

Kitagami Yoru hesitated about sending a message, while Fujiwara Chika, with her usual air of shyness, didn’t forget to buy a drink from the vending machine.

Just in case she felt embarrassed or awkward, she used water to cover herself.

“Chika.”

Kitagami Yoru immediately stood up and greeted her.

“Don’t be so intimate. Call me Fujiwara-san.”

Fujiwara Chika, with a look of impatience, stood a short distance away from Kitagami Yoru.

“Sit down and tell me how you are.”

Kitagami Yoru forced a smile, moved to the side of Fujiwara Chika, and gently pushed her shoulder.

“Keep your distance. Let me do things like this for you.”

Complaining under pretense, Fujiwara Chika simply glanced at him and walked away to sit down.

“How’s your foot? Still hurting?”

Kitagami Yoru asked with concern.

“It’s all your fault, it’s all because of you. Tell me.”

“Do you have something to say?”

Fujiwara Chika puffed out her lips and turned away.

Don’t mention what she did.

Kitagami Yoru’s actions were way too much, especially without Fujiwara Chika’s interference.

His hands almost wanted to delve into her soft flesh!

“Chika, everything is my fault. I was too impulsive.”

“I didn’t think much back then. Honestly.”
