    Heroine Regret 136


    Edited by: Tiny Fan Fiction


    Tomoya Aki’s request

    The next day, he wakes up early.

    Kitagami Yoru scratched his pillow and grumbled as he got out of bed.

    While washing his face and brushing his teeth, he checks the living room situation.

    He skips breakfast.

    Kasumigaoka Utaha’s bento boxes are too good to waste.

    After organizing them.

    He puts all of them into the fridge.

    He leaves two aside.

    One goes into a lunchbox in his backpack for later.

    The other is heated in the microwave and eaten now.

    “The weather’s nice today.”

    While eating breakfast, Kitagami Yoru mindlessly scrolls through his phone.

    He receives a message from Sakurajima Mai.

    Despite everything, he hasn’t forgotten this matter and asks Sakurajima Mai to collect dirt on the Shinomiya clan and Shinomiya Kaguya.

    He’s trying his best, but no one can talk down to his high-and-mighty sister.

    “Good morning.”

    Kitagami Yoru decides to greet Sakurajima Mai first.

    “I could kill you.”

    Sakurajima Mai speaks her mind without hesitation.

    Seeing this message, Kitagami Yoru smiles slightly, completely unfazed.

    It’s perfectly normal.

    Only he can see Sakurajima Mai in the world.

    Maybe she doesn’t care about her?

    It’s not just that, it can be called 宅 (jīn yú, meaning “homebody” or “hermit”).

    “Perhaps Sakurajima-senpai, you can find something to do.”

    Kitagami Yoru stuffed a pink sausage into his mouth.

    “No, I’m really annoyed.”

    “Do you have time this weekend? Want to hang out?”

    In the apartment building, Sakurajima Mai had a mask on her face and a simple but nutritious breakfast in front of her.

    No appetite.

    Bored, restless…

    Needs comfort and mental anxiety…

    A complete and healthy person is one who has both physical and mental health.

    Even if someone’s body is as strong as an ox, but their intelligence is slightly impaired.

    Can you say he’s healthy?

    “Sure, there must be something you like.”

    “Yes.”

    Kitagami Yoru replied with a thoughtfully planned weekend schedule.

    Other than the sweet date with Fujiwara Chika, that’s the plan for the day.

    There’s plenty of free time; won’t there be any unexpected events?”

    “Once decided, can you join me to play?”

    Sakurajima Mai sent a cute emoji, feeling quite happy.

    Her heart is completely tied to Kitagami Yoru.

    It’s already cut out.

    Only Kitagami Yoru can be relied upon.

    “Friday’s dismissal, you’ll see at your house?”

    Kitagami Yoru lightly smiles.

    “Alright, don’t leave me hanging.”

    Sakurajima Mai sends a threatening yellow bean expression.

    In fact, the yellow bean style of expression is used by people all over the world.

    “No way, Sakurajima-senpai, you can try practicing your acting skills.”

    “Let’s not bring up you and your mom. Actually, aren’t you passionate about this?”

    Kitagami Yoru chews on food in his mouth.

    “Passionate?”

    “There’s no such thing now….”

    “Ugh….”

    Sakurajima Mai replies quickly without any hesitation.

    “Relax your mood, maybe you can go fishing.”

    Kitagami Yoru knows the importance of mental health and is relentless in advising Sakurajima Mai.

    Time slowly passes by.

    After about half an hour, it’s almost time to go to school, so Kitagami Yoru ends the conversation.

    The phone is pulled furiously, up to the top, and there’s a document.

    “Sakurajima-senpai, your collected information isn’t enough in just a few days.”

    “What’s that?”

    Kitagami Yoru taps into it, and it loads completely.

    It’s a simple PowerPoint presentation.

    Text and images.

    Skills, hobbies, family address…

    “What’s this thing?”

    Kitagami Yoru’s face is a bit strange.

    He remembers that Sakurajima Mai asked for Shinomiya Kaguya’s dirt.

    Even though it might not be. The Shinomiya family has plenty of dirt.

    Don’t talk about such a massive business empire; he knows nothing about any secrets, as clean as a blank page.

    Just kidding.

    “Is it possible that Sakurajima-senpai misunderstood my intentions?”

    “Or maybe it’s challenging and needs to be approached slowly. She should give me Shinomiya Kaguya’s information first.”

    “Unfortunately, I can’t use this for what you’re asking.”

    Kitagami Yoru scans the room with a few glances and loses interest.

    Unfortunately…

    Sakurajima Mai wouldn’t just follow his orders without question.

    Otherwise, getting a few private photos of Shinomiya Kaguya would be simple enough…

    “Even if the world were in chaos, it still wouldn’t matter…”

    After eating, Kitagami Yoru leans back with both hands resting on his head, exclaiming.

    He forgot to check Kasumigaoka Utaha’s treasure chest progress yesterday…

    “Probably around sixteenth?”

    “She sits on me and uses her feet to tread my face, those smelly black socks of hers…”

    “Physical contact leads to the treasure chest progress bar increasing rapidly…”

    Kitagami Yoru considers getting up.

    Last night’s events were unexpected for him as well.

    The relationship between Kasumigaoka Utaha is progressing rapidly.

    With an excuse, I can now approach Kasumigaoka Utaha and open her treasure box!

    I wonder what amazing ability it will unlock….

    I left some cat food and water for San-san, while Kitagami Yoru cleaned up the trash and went to call Gabriel with his backpack.

    Recently, Gabriel has been quite punctual.

    Today, he was late…

    After waiting for a few minutes, disheveled and wide-eyed Gabriel walked out.

    He nodded to Kitagami Yoru, which I guess is a form of greeting.

    They set off together towards School.

    Gabriel’s carelessness is quite common, and Kitagami Yoru doesn’t seem to mind.

    Leaving the Apartment.

    Kitagami Yoru turned around to look at a room on the third floor.

    Where does Mafuyu Kirisu live?

    “It’s probably better not to encounter her; it would be too awkward.”

    Kitagami Yoru slowed down, muttering under his breath.

    After catching up with Gabriel, he spoke: “Hmm….”

    “Kitagami, I met a friend in the game.”

    “And then?”

    Kitagami Yoru unexpectedly turned to look at Gabriel, his gaze scattered.

    He thought he was quite cute.

    “Umm, she wants to meet me. How should I approach this?”

    Gabriel questioned him.

    She’s not too familiar with the customs of human online interactions.

    Let me check with my friend Kitagami Yoru about this.

    “Are you asking me out?”

    “How long have you known each other?”

    It’s impossible for a girl to have a boy, but I can tell when a boy is up to something, Kitagami Yoru smells something odd.

    Gabriel wants to meet this stranger, and Kitagami Yoru will definitely be worried about it.

    “Yeah, she said this weekend.”

    “I think we’ve known each other for about two weeks.”

    Gabriel stretches and looks half-awake, not really paying attention to the exact duration.

    “Only a little over a month, and you’re asking me out? We don’t even know each other well enough for this.”

    “What do you think? Is the other person male or female?”

    Kitagami Yoru looks concerned and helps Gabriel tidy his hair while doing so.

    “I’m not sure, probably a girl.”

    Gabriel doesn’t seem to mind one way or the other.

    “If it’s a girl, she can go out, but be careful—there might be dangers.”

    Kitagami Yoru is very cautious about this.

    Gabriel approaching a girl may not be entirely safe either.

    If the other person is involved in illegal work, or if they’re a bad woman, someone who sells drinks… it would be terrible for innocent Gabriel.

    As for her brother…

    Hmm….

    No need to think much about that.

    “If there’s danger, you can be sure of it.”

    Gabriel shook his head indifferently.

    Destroying the human world is not a difficult task for her…

    “How can I relax…”

    Kitagami Yoru patted Gabriel’s shoulder and continued:

    “You are so thin and small. You can’t resist when you encounter danger, and you won’t be able to call for help in time.”

    “She is also a student. How can she be in danger? It’s okay.”

    “How about you accompany me to meet her?”

    Gabriel suggested.

    She had no choice but to tell Kitagami Yoru that she was an angel.

    The danger did not exist.

    “That’s fine, There is not much etiquette for meeting.”

    “Well… dressing appropriately and not messing up your hair is basic social etiquette.”

    “It is best to arrive at least fifteen minutes before the agreed time.”

    Kitagami Yoru nodded in relief.

    He would leave naturally after confirming that everything was fine.

    Getting closer and closer to the station.

    Gabriel rubbed his eyes and yawned.

    “Gabriel, what have you been doing recently? Playing games?”

    Kitagami Yoru asked again:

    “Hmm? Hmm.”

    Gabriel was stunned at first, Thinking of the foot control book she picked up, she nodded vigorously.

    She later understood it.

    These are the things that boys like to look at.

    Where excellent works will be adapted into games, or through games to adapt.

    Kitagami Yoru stopped talking after that.

    “Well, maybe?”

    Gabriel looked up at her good friend Kitagami Yoru, feeling restless inside.

    Why would she feel such a strong curiosity towards something like that?

    In the end, Gabriel couldn’t say anything.

    They arrived at the station.

    She boarded the streetcar to Shuchiin Academy.

    Commercial Street.

    As soon as they stepped out of the station, Satania happily shouted and ran over to greet them.

    “Ah-hah!”

    “Gabriel, Kitagami Yoru! It’s so good to see you both!”

    Satania ran up to them, lightly tapping on Kitagami Yoru’s arm.

    A soft “thump-thump” sound.

    The Shuchiin Academy winter uniform jacket still hurt a bit.

    No wonder, the weather is getting colder each day.

    In the morning, many students choose to wear jackets for warmth.

    “Satania, good morning.”

    Kitagami Yoru playfully grinned and returned the greeting.

    The trio continued their conversation as they walked toward Shuchiin Academy.

    On the way, Satania kept approaching Gabriel, who ignored her.

    Annoyed Satania couldn’t hold back and shouted out loud, looking at Kitagami Yoru.

    Just going with a carefree attitude, Yoru suddenly asks Kitagami for their contact information.

    The evil plan—Satania has never forgotten it since then.

    Just a few days ago.

    “Okay, sure.”

    Without much thought, Yoru and Satania exchange LINE IDs.

    “Giggles, Gabriel, did you see that?”

    Holding back her excitement, Satania playfully mocks Gabriel with a sly smile.

    “Hmph.”

    Gabriel lets out a yawn.

    Arriving at the entrance of Shuchiin Academy.

    The three separate.

    Yoru takes his time, walking toward the Club Complex Building for Second Year students.

    Somewhere.

    Warm autumn sunlight filters through dense trees, creating a serene scene.

    “Come on, Tomoya, why would you call me here?”

    Eriri looks strange, constantly glancing around.

    “Don’t worry, Eriri, no one’s here.”

    Tomoya Aki pushes his black bangs out of his eyes, revealing his glasses.

    Just an assumption.

    Only an assumption.

    The words spoken by Tomoya to Eriri are now said by Yoru.

    Eriri would bolt and scream for help, not wanting to be bullied.

    But coming from a childhood friend, it doesn’t seem threatening at all.

    “Umm… Then what about Tomoya?”

    Eriri forced a faint smile, her expression tense as she spoke to Tomoya Aki.

    Tomoya Aki simply attributed it to Eriri’s normal reaction and thought the next words he was about to say were crucial.

    He wasn’t particularly concerned about Eriri’s reaction or demeanor.

    “It’s… that thing.”

    Observing Eriri’s expression, Tomoya Aki opened his mouth slowly.

    At this very moment…

    Looking at Tomoya Aki standing before her, Eriri felt a mix of despair and fear.

    The most important reason was that she believed herself to be unworthy and not good enough for Tomoya Aki.

    Kitagami Yoru, that rotten bastard!

    Next…

    She was afraid that she had stolen Kasumigaoka Utaha’s fat wallet and done something naughty.

    On purpose, she had hurt someone who was just as close to Tomoya Aki as Kasumigaoka Utaha.

    Poor little golden retriever, unable to face her former crush in the same way as before.

    “I heard something about Eriri and that…”

    Tomoya Aki’s voice trembled slightly, his expression unnatural, and his speech broken and uneven.

    “What did I do?”

    His throat moved as he swallowed, and water droplets slid down his throat. Eriri widened her eyes, thinking of what he was about to say next.

    It was strange—her mind immediately jumped to Kitagami Yoru, someone she would happily tear skin off if she could.

    “It’s just… Eriri… You and that Kitagami Yoru have been getting close?”

    Tomoya Aki looked uncertain as he gazed at Eriri.

    Neither of them noticed anything unusual about the other.

    “Ah? I and Kitagami Yoru are getting close?!”

    Eriri gasped in surprise, cautiously looking back.

    After a moment of calm, she looked at Tomoya Aki and said: “What the hell, Tomoya, why are you talking nonsense?”

    Her cute face instantly furrowed into an expression of anger.

    That’s definitely Eriri pretending.

    In reality, she was terrified, falling into the abyss of darkness!

    “Is that true? Eriri?”

    Tomoya Aki didn’t believe it.

    Absolutely not.

    When he first saw Eriri and Kitagami Yoru walking together, he didn’t think they were just chatting casually.

    Instead, from his perspective,

    It was Kitagami Yoru bothering her precious Eriri!

    “And you dare to grab Eriri’s twin tails? That’s a part I haven’t even touched!”

    Remembering this, the scene from yesterday afternoon flashed through Tomoya Aki’s mind, instantly making him feel increasingly agitated.

    If he knew back then that his long-envied Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai had used her butt to sit on Kitagami Yoru last night,

    He would have reacted like this?

    “No, it’s just a rumor.”

    “Why are there so many rumors at School?”

    Eriri wasn’t lying about that.

    She clearly despised Kitagami Yoru more strongly than Tomoya Aki did.

    It was definitely a rumor!

    “Yes, there have been too many rumors lately at Shuchiin Academy.”

    Tomoya Aki let out a deep breath and completely relaxed, nodding in agreement to Eriri’s statements.

    It’s all Kitagami Yoru causing trouble with Eriri again.

    “Tomoya…..”

    Eriri felt a stabbing pain in her chest upon seeing Tomoya Aki so concerned about her.

    Her heart was heavy with sorrow, and waves of nausea came over her.

    “Tomoya is so worried about me, worrying that Kitagami Yoru might be bothering or mistreating me….”

    “Now he probably thinks I’m fine, but I’ve let Kitagami Yoru get away with bullying me before……”

    “Damn Kitagami Yoru…Tomoya…..”

    “Is it my fault?”

    Eriri’s acting skills are top-notch, masking her emotions as they fluctuate wildly. She was barely holding back tears.

    Her small white teeth were nibbling on the soft pink lips, as Eriri forced herself to suppress the urge to cry.

    “Is it Kitagami Yoru who’s been bothering you?”

    “I’ve heard from others in my class that he chose to become a model in the art club just to bother you.”

    Tomoya Aki let out a relieved sigh, his mind racing with something.

    “Oh? Right, right.”

    Eriri nodded energetically, but her expression was filled with confusion as she looked at Tomoya Aki.

    In the past, it would have been Tomoya Aki who came to find her, and he’d be overjoyed to see her.

    But now it’s different—worried, scared, afraid…

    The desire to run away comes unbidden.

    “Eriri… I’ll just skip school and wait for you, okay? Let’s go home together?”

    Tomoya Aki looked at Eriri with a serious expression, biting his lip as he forced out the words he’d practiced a million times in his heart.

    After saying it, the tension he’d been holding inside finally dissolved, and he was nervously waiting for Eriri’s response.

    Eriri fell into a daze.

    What’s going on?

    Tomoya Aki suggested to accompany her home from school.

    “I won’t get close to you, so no one will see us together.”

    “When Kitagami Yoru bothers her, I’ll appear immediately.”

    Since Eriri didn’t respond right away, Tomoya assumed she was worried and quickly added.

    “I……”

    “Tomoya….”

    The proposal excited Eriri deeply.

    All gain with no harm!

    If there were no conflict with Kitagami Yoru, Eriri might have refused outright.
