Becoming good friends, huh?

Kato Megumi tilts her head slightly, her eyes widening a bit.

“Kato-san, can I… add you on line?”

With a pounding heart, Kitakami Yoru hesitates to ask Kato Megumi, fearing rejection.

He’s just an ordinary guy with a bad reputation.

To suddenly ask for the contact information of such a lovely girl like Kato Megumi, if he gets rejected, how embarrassing and awkward it would be.

Most importantly is that…

Rejection means she doesn’t want to spend time with him.

So, Kitakami Yoru can’t help but feel anxious and scared.

After speaking, he swallows hard, looking at the expressionless Kato Megumi with anticipation.

Kato Megumi doesn’t have the top-tier beauty of Kasumigaoka Utah or Eriri.

But she’s not unattractive and has a good personality.

A teenager with hormones surging during puberty, knowing he can’t chase after top-tier beauties like Kasumigaoka Utah.

Top-tier beauties aren’t a special product of Hokkaido, not like potatoes.

Just scatter some seeds and they’ll grow in abundance.

So, he settles for pursuing someone like Kato Megumi.

Japan doesn’t forbid early love, and prestigious schools like Shuuchiin Academy are no exception; it’s due to the different societal norms and values.

“I won’t be rejected, right?”

“A girl with Kato-san’s personality must have many admirers, right?”

Kitakami Yoru avoids looking at Kato Megumi and turns away, his heart racing.

He doesn’t expect Kato Megumi to fall for him, a deadbeat like him.

But being friends would be nice!

It’s over.

Am I not going to be seen as a creepy, self-absorbed deadbeat?

Kitakami Yoru lowers his head in frustration and regret, shaking his head desperately.

“Kitakami-san, what’s wrong?”

Kato Megumi takes out her phone from her bag and looks at Kitakami Yoru with curiosity.

“N-no… I’m fine…”

Kitakami Yoru shook his head.

“Then scan me.” Kato Megumi handed her phone to him.

Huh?

Scan me?

Upon hearing this, Kitakami Yoru suddenly straightened his back and was taken aback.

Immediately, he nodded with excitement.

He nervously took out his phone and scanned Kato Megumi’s contact information.

“Thank you.”

After successfully scanning, Kitakami Yoru took a deep breath with excitement.

“I’m happy too.” Kato Megumi smiled lightly as she put away her phone.

At this moment.

Kitakami Yoru looked at the golden treasure chest above Kato Megumi’s head and muttered to himself.

“As expected, just as I predicted, the progress bar changes when in close contact.

“But it’s increasing so slowly, not even a percent, just a tiny bit.

“How about that stray cat? Is it okay?” Kato Megumi asked as she put away her phone.

Kitakami Yoru regained his focus, “It’s doing well; I named it San-san, it’s a female cat.” The golden treasure chest above Kato Megumi’s head slowly faded away.

Then Kitakami Yoru had another thought and it appeared again.

“Why did you choose that name?” Kato Megumi asked curiously.

“Because the day I found it was a Wednesday, and its collar had a ‘three’ on it, so I named it that way.”

Kitakami Yoru smiled and explained, then added, “Do you want to come see it this weekend?”

As soon as he said it.

Kitakami Yoru immediately regretted it in his heart.

He forgot that he wasn’t close with Kato Megumi.

An overweight guy who was labeled as a panty thief invited a girl he had only met twice to his house.

He would definitely be misunderstood, rejected, and thought of as having bad intentions!

Kitakami Yoru’s expression was stiff, his face gradually turning pale.

Kato Megumi considered it seriously after hearing him.

She didn’t plan on attending the class gathering anyway.

So, he nodded and said: “Okay.”

“Huh?”

This answer was unexpected from Kitakami Yoru.

He stood up and looked down at Kato Megumi.

At this moment, he felt a dazzling, bright white holy light emanating from behind Kato Megumi!

“Kitakami-san… what’s wrong?”

Kato Megumi cautiously asked, looking at Kitakami Yoru.

Since the beginning, Kitakami-san’s reactions have been strange.

It’s a pity that he wasn’t good at socializing with people.

But it seemed like he could become friends with Kitakami-san…

……

After saying goodbye to Kato Megumi.

Kitakami Yoru leaned against the hallway railing, taking deep breaths, still feeling excited and happy inside.

After calming himself down, he entered through the back door.

Miura Yumiko was by his desk, surrounded by people, chatting casually.

Kitakami Yoru put down his bag and glanced at the new doodles on the desk, silently looking out the window.

“Hayato, what was going on in the boys’ changing room during the swimming lesson?” Miura Yumiko spoke loudly; even those sitting in the front row could hear her.

Especially since it was Kitakami Yoru beside her.

“It’s nothing, just everyone’s first time taking a swimming lesson together.” Hayama Hayato paused and smiled awkwardly.

It seemed like he remembered something unpleasant.

Tobe Kakeru, reacted similarly to Hayama Hayato.

Especially Tobe Kakeru; he was almost sweating cold sweat.

It was terrifying.

“Is that something a human can possess?”

“Oh, it’s the weekend tomorrow, Hayato. Are you free? Let’s go out together,” Miura Yumiko’s voice sounded again.

“Yumiko, I have something to do on the weekend…”

“What is it again? Oh well~”

Maintaining his pose with his face towards the window, after a while.

Kitakami Yoru was secretly glancing over, sneakily trying to gauge Miura Yumiko with the corner of his eye.

Just now, when Miura Yumiko mentioned the swimming class from that day, it startled Kitakami Yoru.

Worried that he might have accidentally offended her, he was concerned about being retaliated against by Miura Yumiko.

The “Flame Queen” of the school was not someone to be easily messed with.

Kitakami Yoru’s current situation at Shuuchiin Academy was precarious; he couldn’t afford to cause trouble or trigger any conditions that could lead to his expulsion.

Expulsion meant being directly dismissed from the school registry, which was different from being advised to withdraw.

The former was akin to intentional murder, while the latter was manslaughter.

Being expelled from Shuuchiin Academy made it impossible to attend a good high school or university.

Expulsion left a record on the school registry.

“Phew, it should be fine now.”

After observing Miura Yumiko for a while, Kitakami Yoru glanced at Hayama Hayato and turned his gaze away.

It seemed that his deskmate, Miura Yumiko, liked this person named Hayama Hayato.

Hayama Hayato gave Kitakami Yoru the impression of liking Miura Yumiko but not in a straightforward way.

“Just keep your complicated feelings to yourself and don’t involve me.”

Kitakami Yoru muttered to himself.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon, Hirazuka Shizuka came to the classroom and told Kitakami Yoru to go to the Teacher’s Office Building after school.

All afternoon, Kitakami Yoru wondered about the reason for this summons.

He couldn’t concentrate during classes.

As soon as school was over, he hurriedly packed his bag and went there.

Teacher’s Office.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was leaning on a chair, smoking a cigarette.

In front of her stood a girl with white hairbands and an icy, noble beauty.

She had full black stockings and crossed her legs seductively.

“Is it true what you said, Kasumigaoka Utah? Are you sure?”
