The Strategy for Conquering Gabriel

Weekend, still a sunny day.

“Good morning, Gabriel.”

Even though it was almost ten in the morning, Kitagami Yoru greeted her from across the room.

“Hmm~ Good morning.” Gabriel wore pajamas, her hair a bit messy with some dark circles under her eyes as she yawned.

This was the first time Kitagami Yoru saw Gabriel appear before him like this.

“Is something the matter?” Kitagami Yoru asked.

“Yeah, do you have a strategy for this game? I can’t beat it.” Gabriel suddenly pulled out a switch from behind her.

This was the Nintendo Switch that Kitagami Yoru had lent to Gabriel.

“Strategy?” Kitagami Yoru stood there, stunned at the doorway, looking at the dark-circle-eyed Gabriel.

“So Gabriel isn’t familiar with games either. Didn’t think even a cute girl like you would enjoy playing games.”

“Yeah, I’ll send it to you later.” Kitagami Yoru didn’t think much of it; it was the weekend, meant for leisure.

Gabriel waved her hand and left without saying a word.

Close the door.

Kitagami Yoru went to wipe off the sweat from his workout and found a game strategy guide, sending it to Gabriel.

Soon after, he received a message from Kato Megumi, rushing over.

“Excuse me, Kitagami-san.” Megumi stood at the door with an indifferent expression, holding a small bag.

“Come in, there are slippers by the door.” Kitagami Yoru felt nervous.

He never thought Megumi would actually come.

As a lonely shut-in, inviting a girl like her to his house and only having met her twice before!

“Kato-san is really easy to get along with.”

“Is Kitagami-san living alone?”

Megumi took off her shoes, revealing her delicate feet in short white socks as she stepped onto the entrance floor, curiously looking inside.

“Yes.” Kitagami Yoru nodded and led Megumi to the living room.

San-san was already awake, which was the excuse for inviting Megumi over.

If San-san wasn’t awake, Kitagami Yoru would have considered an artificial wake-up service.

“Here, this is a gift I brought for Kitagami-san; you might like it.” Megumi sat down and smiled slightly, placing the bag on the table.

“Thank you.” Kitagami Yoru sat beside her and took the so-called gift.

In Japan, when someone gives you a gift, it’s considered polite to open it and praise them on the spot.

“It’s two different packs of cookies and two cakes; I thought Kitagami-san would like them.” Megumi said at this moment.

“Hmm…. Thank you….”

Kitagami Yoru has seen the contents of the bag and smelled the rich aroma, awkwardly thanking.

These things he really likes, no doubt.

But during his diet, even a piece of sugary chocolate Kitagami Yoru would have to think twice about.

Cookies and cakes, he really couldn’t eat!

And it’s not easy to refuse.

Feeling conflicted and uncomfortable inside.

“It seems like it got fatter……”

At this time, Kato Megumi is holding the chubby cat San-san in her arms, gently stroking it, feeling very content.

“It’s just that its skeleton is big, not fat.” Kitagami Yoru smiled and reached out to touch San-san’s overly round head.

“Really? No way?!” Kato Megumi looked surprised, her small hand accidentally touching Kitagami Yoru’s.

Kitagami Yoru’s heart skipped a beat, nodding while paying attention to Kato Megumi’s expression.

She doesn’t seem to feel anything or maybe she doesn’t care.

“Yes, I took it to the pet clinic for vaccinations.” Kitagami Yoru looked at Kato Megumi with a slight smile.

“Meow~” San-san rolled on Kato Megumi’s soft thighs and made a sweet sound.

Kitagami Yoru casually asked, “What does Kato-san usually do on weekends?”

At the same time, a golden treasure chest slowly appeared above Kato Megumi’s head.

The progress bar below increased by about one percent.

“Usually at home or going out alone.”

“Like this, visiting a classmate’s house, it’s the first time.”

Kato Megumi looked at Kitagami Yoru with a plain expression.

She was like this, not good at expressing emotions or communicating with people.

But when she was with Kitagami Yoru, it seemed she wouldn’t be like that.

“Really? Then Kato-san must be very popular, just like me?” Kitagami Yoru looked a bit surprised.

“Ah~”

“Not really……”

The girl sighed lightly and shook her head.

“My name is ordinary, my appearance is ordinary, I’m a bit of an invisible person. No one pays attention to me in class.”

“Maybe the people who could call my name before would forget about me in a few days.”

As she spoke, Kato Megumi’s mood became a bit low.

“Is that so? But I think Kato-san is very lovable!” Kitagami Yoru couldn’t believe it when he heard this, so he blurted out his thoughts.

The girl’s eyes widened upon hearing this, and her movements of stroking the cat in her arms slowed down.

“Ah… me…”

“I’ll go get some fruits and drinks.” Male Kitagami Yoru said before realizing something was off.

Feeling embarrassed, he quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen with big strides.

Female Kato Megumi kept staring at Male Kitagami Yoru’s disappearing figure, a slight smile on her lips.

She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her face returning to its usual expression.

“I thought Kitagami-san was someone who wouldn’t express themselves, but it turns out they can compliment others too.”

“But am I really that lovable in Kitagami-san’s eyes?” In the kitchen, Male Kitagami Yoru was fumbling with fruits and drinks, frequently looking back towards the living room.

“I spoke too quickly.”

“Will Kato-san be angry?”

“No, no, why would she be angry if I complimented her?” Male Kitagami Yoru scratched his hair in confusion, feeling that something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

After some hesitation, he finally went out with the drinks and fruits.

“Thank you, I’m happy too.” Kato Megumi expressed gratitude to the returning Kitagami Yoru.

“Really?” Kitagami Yoru sat down a bit awkwardly.

The two started chatting again.

Originally, Kitagami Yoru thought Kato Megumi would be a very popular pretty girl, and they wouldn’t have much in common.

But it turned out that they talked very enjoyably.

Maybe lonely people attract each other? After spending an hour at Kitagami Yoru’s place, it was time for lunch.

“Kato-san, want to go out for lunch together?” Kitagami Yoru definitely couldn’t let Kato Megumi stay in the apartment and eat his own diet meal.

Today wasn’t a cheat day, but there were still plenty of options for eating while dieting outside.

Like sushi, just eat less rice, or a beef burger without the sauce.

“Sure, let’s go out together.” Kato Megumi thought for a moment.

After tidying up, Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi went out.

Since he wanted to spend more time with Kato Megumi, he suggested going to Shibuya Harajuku for lunch and then shopping around.

Kato Megumi didn’t refuse, but her always plain expression made it hard for Kitagami Yoru to understand her thoughts.

However, in reality, Megumi Kato is genuinely happy.

There’s someone who can keep her company, relieve boredom, and go out to play with her.
