The defenses of the mother-in-law are easily broken through with a light touch.
“Kato, shall we go on a trip together in a while?”
“I’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently.”
By the middle of August, there’s less than two weeks left until graduation, and Kitagami Yoru had previously snagged a Nikko trip coupon that’s about to expire if not used.
After all, it’s a three-day-two-night luxury double room stay.
If you don’t seize the opportunity, are you crazy?
After sending the message, Kitagami Yoru gets up from bed and heads to the shower to freshen up.
“Where should we go to play?”
Kato Megumi quickly responds to the message; looks like she’s up early.
“I previously won a three-day-two-night luxury double room stay in Nikko…”
“With a small travel group, shall we go?”
“Trip coupon image”
Kitagami Yoru also sends over the trip coupon image.
Kato Megumi doesn’t reply right away,
She might be considering it, or she could be asking her parents for their opinion.
Now, Kitagami Yoru finishes freshening up and heads to the kitchen to make breakfast for himself.
The usual cat food and water for San-san, grabbing the sports backpack and heading out.
The familiar park, the familiar scenery; it’s still that time of day.
2000 meters.
Today’s condition is good, Kitagami Yoru can almost grit his teeth and run the whole course in one breath.
Back when it was spring break, around late March, you were still a big 300-pound guy.
It’s impossible to keep up without gasping for breath; it feels like I’m having trouble breathing.
Now, all of us can grit our teeth and run 2000 meters!
After resting a bit, Kitagami Yoru was slightly surprised not to have met Fujiwara Chika or Pes today.
“Aren’t you out walking your dog? Miss Fujiwara.”
Taking a sip of water, Kitagami Yoru pulls out his breakfast.
A large slice of salmon with a bit of black pepper cooked in it and a full box of vegetable salad.
At this moment, Pes is pulling Fujiwara Chika from far away towards him. Seeing Kitagami Yoru from afar makes him overjoyed.
“Pes……”
“Am I your master, or is Kitagami-san still your master?”
“Why don’t you just go and live with him together…..”
The breathless Fujiwara Chika loosens Pes’s collar rope, discontentedly complaining to Pes.
“Wang Wang～”
It seems Pes has understood, turning around and whining pitifully.
You are human; I am a dog.
I don’t need morning runs, or to be hungry, huh～
You take me out for a walk in the morning and don’t feed me enough. Isn’t that cruel?
Unfortunately, Fujiwara Chika doesn’t understand dog language.
Picking up a bite of salmon with chopsticks, Kitagami Yoru tilts his head back, his hair spreading out, revealing an almost perfect set of facial features.
Pes’s voice then echoes.
The action of eating was interrupted and I looked over.
“Wang-Wang—”
“Wang—”
Pes struggles directly with Fujiwara Chika’s restraint, rushing to Kitagami Yoru’s feet and rolling madly.
“Pes, you’re doing it again…”
Fujiwara Chika catches up, panting, and smiles awkwardly at Kitagami Yoru.
“I’m used to it now; I’ll see you guys once every two or three days.”
Kitagami Yoru puts down the chopsticks, gathers his long hair, and pulls it tightly, fixing it temporarily behind his ear.
“You’ve gotten even more handsome?”
Fujiwara Chika’s breath stops for a second; she glances at Kitagami Yoru again secretly.
Sit down next to Kitagami Yoru.
Currently, Kitagami Yoru is still slightly chubby, with stubborn fat accumulating on his face that changes a little every day.
Wait another week and the details will change, making him even more handsome.
With low body fat, around 10%, his facial attractiveness can increase by at least 20%.
Kitagami Yoru is still losing body fat and weight right now.
“Good morning, it’s almost time to start school.”
Kitagami Yoru bites into a salmon and tosses another piece to Pes.
“There are still half a month left; you’ve lost so much weight. When we go to School, everyone will be surprised, not to mention…”
Fujiwara Chika smiles lightly at Kitagami Yoru’s stunning beauty from the side and suddenly closes her mouth.
“Don’t mention what?”
Kitagami Yoru turns his head to face Fujiwara Chika.
(⊙o⊙)
“… … “
“Nothing… Nothing at all… Ahaha…”
Fujiwara Chika’s heart skipped a beat, then she immediately burst into laughter.
Maybe you want her to say it out loud, right? You think I’m too handsome, don’t you? Isn’t there such a thing as loving someone that much?
Fujiwara Chika asked herself if she was brave enough.
“Oh, so you want to try?”
Kitagami Yoru lifted his box filled with sardines.
With a little olive oil, the aroma, slightly seared sardines, their scent wafting out in waves.
“This…”
Fujiwara Chika hesitated, unsure whether to eat or not.
Pes’s saliva was about to flow again.
Kitagami Yoru thought Fujiwara Chika didn’t want to get her hands dirty and turned the chopsticks around, picking up a piece and handing it over to Fujiwara Chika.
All she had to do was open her mouth.
The scented sardine slices appeared before her eyes. Fujiwara Chika slightly lifted her head, opened her mouth wide, and posed in a gesture ready to receive the offering.
Kitagami Yoru’s hand movement paused as he placed the sardines into Fujiwara Chika’s delicate little mouth.
“It smells so good～”
Taking a big bite, Fujiwara Chika nodded in satisfaction at Kitagami Yoru repeatedly until she swallowed the sardine.
The taste of the just-consumed sardines filled her mouth; this was just astonishing!
She realized something was wrong.
“This isn’t…..!”
Fujiwara Chika’s small hand grips the chair tightly, looking at Kitagami Yoru’s profile, turning red with embarrassment.
“This is too intimate an action!”
“Ah ah ah—”
Remaining outwardly calm, her heart screams wildly; Fujiwara Chika’s cute face blushes a faint pink.
“Wang~”
Pes eats another salmon piece, excitedly jumps up, and scares Fujiwara Chika again.
A few minutes later.
The somewhat chaotic Fujiwara Chika uses Pes as an excuse to leave.
“Goodbye.”
Kitagami Yoru’s hair has already drooped.
“Goodbye…..hehe…”
Fujiwara Chika forces a smile, facing the invisible Kitagami Yoru; she comports herself much better.
After bidding farewell, Fujiwara Chika quickly moves away with an unwilling Pes in tow.
Until the chair-bound Kitagami Yoru becomes a small black dot in her eyesight.
She lets out a sigh and turns to look back.
“This is too good-looking, and there’s even a bit of cuteness to it; I’m scared to death……”
The blushing girl pats her swelling chest, full of amazement.
Kitagami Yoru hasn’t thought about any aspect that makes him attractive or noticed that Fujiwara Chika seems a bit off.
After all, once the hair is let down, it seals her beauty.
After eating salmon slices, Kitagami Yoru makes a salad with black pepper and salt, then heads home.
After the additional training, Kitagami Yoru didn’t go for a weigh-in.
The heavier you get, the harder it is to lose weight. In such a short time, there won’t be much change in your weight.
During his bath, he received Megumi Kato’s affirmative reply and confirmed their departure time.
Taking his phone, Kitagami Yoru looked at himself in the mirror and turned his hips.
…
A few days later, it was August 21st.
There were still ten days until the start of the second semester at Shuchiin Academy.
This afternoon, as usual, Kitagami Yoru came to Mrs. Yuigahama’s coffee shop wearing a duckbill hat.
Today is the last day of work.
The coffee shop has settled in well; it just needs some simple decoration and minor details.
Ding-dong-ding—
A crisp bell chime sounds.
“Good afternoon, Kitagami-kun.”
Mrs. Yuigahama seemed to have been waiting for quite some time, standing in front of the bookshelf and turning back with a gentle smile.
“Ah… Good afternoon, Miss Yuigahama.”
Kitagami Yoru nodded lightly.
“Do you remember what I told you? You haven’t had lunch yet, have you?”
Mrs. Yuigahama took a few steps forward.
“Yes, I didn’t eat lunch today…..”
Kitagami Yoru responded.
“That’s good! Let’s try out my cooking together.”
It’s Kitagami Yoru’s last day of work today, Mrs. Yuigahama wants to have a nice meal with Kitagami Yoru.
She had already told Kitagami Yoru not to eat lunch today.
“Are you coming, Yuigahama-san?”
Kitagami Yoru enters.
“It’s usually just the two of us, right?”
Mrs. Yuigahama walks up to the counter, her steps pause, she turns around and says.
Kitagami Yoru is startled, takes a step back.
“Hehe～”
“Why are you scared, Mr. Kitagami? I won’t eat you again.”
“Is it because you feel uncomfortable facing someone older with a classmate’s mother?”
Mrs. Yuigahama laughs.
“Well, that’s true!”
Kitagami Yoru nods his head like a drumbeat.
“Then treat me as your boss.”
Mrs. Yuigahama says and goes to the insulated cabinet behind the counter, bringing out a large platter.
The platter contains several small dishes with exquisite and expensive delicacies, fully flavorful.
“Come on, let’s have a meal together.”
“Thank you for your hard work these days.”
Mrs. Yuigahama simply said.
She just wants to use a meal to thank Kitagami Yoru.
“Again, this is your coffee shop, which also means it’s like home.”
“A classmate of Yuigahama Yui, the daughter, and a club member too; as the owner and an elder, I should treat guests well, right?”
“Good……”
Kitagami Yoru is very restrained in his nodding.
Mrs. Yuigahama puts the lunch she made on a four-seater sofa and waves her hand at Kitagami Yoru.
Helpless, Kitagami Yoru has no choice but to sit down.
Sitting face-to-face with Mrs. Yuigahama.
The tip of his nose slightly lifts; the aroma fills the nostrils..
“I don’t know if you like it or not, but Yui likes it, so I made it to her taste.”
Mrs. Yuigahama distributes chopsticks and spoons; the food is already prepared.
“Thank you for the boss.”
Kitagami Yoru takes it with both hands after, then takes off his hat, letting his long hair hang down to eat inconveniently.
“Oh, Kitagami-kun, wait a moment.”
Mrs. Yuigahama suddenly remembers and gets up to go to the rest room.
Kitagami Yoru is puzzled; seconds later, Mrs. Yuigahama brings over a black hairpin with a bun.
“Kitagami-kun, are you planning to keep your long hair?”
Mrs. Yuigahama hands him the hairpin and sits back in her place.
“Not really; I want to get a haircut when school starts….”
Kitagami Yoru shakes his head, gathers his hair, and tries to tie it up with a scrunchie.
“Hmm?”
Ever since that day she accidentally sat on Kitagami Yoru’s small stomach, Mrs. Yuigahama has known that the big handsome man hiding under his long hair is actually Kitagami Yoru.
It’s been a short while, and she looks even more beautiful now.
Before, talking about Kitagami Yoru’s attractiveness was that she liked watching romance school dramas, where the male lead was decent enough.
Now, at a glance, she surpasses it all!
“He really is handsome, do you think Yui would like him?”
Mrs. Yuigahama’s gaze lingers on Kitagami Yoru’s face, secretly thinking about her own daughter.
Not just a mother who has given birth to a child, she is well-experienced and shocked by it, but she won’t easily become flustered like a young girl.
“It’s delicious.”
Kitagami Yoru combs his hair neatly, picks up a forkful of vegetables, and savors the taste.
“Let’s eat then.”
Mrs. Yuigahama takes a deep breath with force, happily moving her fork.
Whether to say it or not, the flavor is really great.
It just has a bit of lightness to it.
I guess Mrs. Yuigahama considered Kitagami Yoru’s dieting during this time.
After lunch, Kitagami Yoru wipes his mouth with a napkin.
Across from him, Mrs. Yuigahama doesn’t clean up the remaining soup either, slightly tilts her head and supports it with her palm.
Another smooth hand rests on the table horizontally, pressing down on the arm with a heavy weight in front of the chest, subtly shaping it.
Kitagami Yoru dares not to look directly at Mrs. Yuigahama.
“I even baked a cake and prepared coffee for you, Kitagami-kun, why don’t you try again?”
Watching Kitagami Yoru put down the napkin with satisfaction, Mrs. Yuigahama doesn’t give him an opportunity to speak, and she goes over to the counter to bring another tray.
“Oh～”
“Mrs. Yuigahama really knows how to take care of people.”
Kitagami Yoru looked at the counter, thinking to himself.
He didn’t know that his wife’s infatuation with luxury led to her being deprived of paternal love since childhood; hence, as Mrs. Yuigahama, she naturally had to take care of Yuigahama Yui in every aspect.
“It’s a sponge cake, the coffee is too bitter, you can add sugar.”
Mrs. Yuigahama gently placed Kitagami Yoru’s portion in front of him.
A small piece of decorated fruit sponge cake without cream, a cup of black coffee, and a bowl of sliced fruits.
“Thank you.”
Kitagami Yoru politely extended his hand to receive the offering.
When picking up the coffee, he accidentally brushed against Mrs. Yuigahama’s warm hand slightly.
The moment they touched, they parted ways.
Kitagami Yoru felt a tingly sensation, quite uncomfortable yet excited.
Mrs. Yuigahama completely ignored it and took a sip of her coffee with a smile.
Enjoying the dessert after lunch.
Mrs. Yuigahama, in the perspective of a classmate’s mother, occasionally asked Kitagami Yoru some questions.
Until the afternoon when they had refilled their coffee twice, she finally stopped.
“Kitagami-kun is unexpectedly pure and handsome, too charming, isn’t he? If he were to star in an idol drama, a romance series…”
Mrs. Yuigahama’s mood was high; her smile never left her lips.
“Oh, Kitagami-kun, can I ask you one last favor?”
Something occurred to Mrs. Yuigahama.
“You said?”
Kitagami Yoru stood up.
“Don’t move, it’ll be fine soon, just wait a moment.”
Mrs. Yuigahama faced the task with unwavering decisiveness, taking action promptly.
Kitagami Yoru sat down on the couch again, waiting for a bit.
Mrs. Yuigahama brought out an apron named and branded after the coffee shop.
I’m right; this must be a work uniform.
“Please, wear this work uniform and take some promotional photos?”
Mrs. Yuigahama was calculating something.
Kitagami Yoru is so charming and handsome, plus he’s young.
Printing it on flyers or posting it on social media to promote the coffee shop couldn’t be more fitting.
Those crazy young girls must be curious to come see the handsome guy?
“Sure, no problem.”
Kitagami Yoru was eager to get that apron.
“Don’t rush, I want to help you comb your hair.”
Mrs. Yuigahama smiled and held the apron high.
“Oh, I’ll do it myself.”
Kitagami Yoru reached out to touch his own hair.
“Can you style it yourself?”
Mrs. Yuigahama pouted with her enticing lips, not pleased.
“I’ll help you!”
Then, she called out in a very determined and unrefusable tone.
Kitagami Yoru is flustered and somewhat at a loss.
“Come on, Kitagami-kun, Auntie will make you look cool and handsome~”
Mrs. Yuigahama approaches with a smile full of joy, going to the back of Kitagami Yoru.
“That’s it… That’s fine.”
Kitagami Yoru can’t refuse and nods his head stiffly before sitting up straight.
He is truly the epitome of a true gentleman.
The arrogant rich girl who treated Eriri cruelly back then, he’s not like that anymore.
“Come, don’t be afraid, don’t move.”
Mrs. Yuigahama’s scent slowly permeates Kitagami Yoru’s nostrils and seeps into his brain.
Those lustrous as jade, snow-white hands gently tug at Kitagami Yoru’s hair.
His black hair spreads out like a waterfall.
Mrs. Yuigahama’s eyes are full of tenderness with a hint of playfulness; isn’t Kitagami Yoru’s reaction too pure and shy?
Standing behind Kitagami Yoru, she can feel the young boy in front of her tense body, his shoulders slightly trembling.
“Before, Kitagami-kun still thought I was Yui’s sister…….”
Mrs. Yuigahama’s fingers form claws and gently comb through Kitagami Yoru’s hair, slowly unraveling it.
Remembering this, she lets out a light chuckle, her expression is beautiful.
The tangled hair is combed open.
Her action is tender; Kitagami Yoru also slowly relaxes, but he dares not turn his head around.
He knows that as long as the back of his head is touched, he can dive into a sea of tenderness.
Yuigahama Yui’s figure is quite good among her peers.
Behind her is the mature mother of Yuigahama Yui.
“Not bad hair.”
Mrs. Yuigahama quickly calmed her spirit, her fingers reaching the hairline of Kitagami Yoru, pushing his hair back.
His hair spread out at the ears, revealing a slightly reddened earlobe that showed the owner’s embarrassment.
“What?”
Mrs. Yuigahama slightly opened her mouth as if she had discovered a new world, staring intensely at Kitagami Yoru’s ears.
Kitagami Yoru felt like his ears were burning with fire, getting hotter and hotter.
“No way!”
“Are you blushing already?…..”
Mrs. Yuigahama slightly surprised her mouth open.
Could it be?
Does Kitagami-kun even have thoughts about himself?
He’s old enough to be my mother.
Still, the mother of his classmate…..
“Heh heh…”
Mrs. Yuigahama thought this way, feeling neither angry nor upset but rather a faint joy and shyness.
She didn’t take it seriously at all; it was just a fleeting thought.
Her hands were busy as she gathered Kitagami Yoru’s hair from behind, gently pulling and layering it.
She took out several black clips to hold the excess hair.
Then, she rolled up Kitagami Yoru’s hair, seemingly wanting to braid a small ponytail.
But it didn’t feel quite right; it turned into a bun on top of his pillow.
“Is that okay?”
Kitagami Yoru tugged at his hair, feeling it being pulled back.
“It’s fine now, this is the front.”
Mrs. Yuigahama moved to Kitagami Yoru’s side and lightly rested her hand on his shoulder.
Guiding him, Kitagami Yoru turned around to face himself.
Mrs. Yuigahama was slightly taller than Yuigahama Yui; Kitagami Yoru was sitting in a booth.
This resulted in Kitagami Yoru, when he sat down, having his line of sight aligned with Mrs. Yuigahama’s ample bosom, very close indeed.
Thus, Kitagami Yoru quickly closed his eyes as adrenaline surged and he became nervous.
Mrs. Yuigahama looked at him closely with a light smile on her face.
She gently parted several strands of hair from Kitagami Yoru’s bangs, left and right.
Creating a set of bangs that were long and short, truly perfect.
In an instant, Mrs. Yuigahama’s heart fluttered.
The original Kitagami Yoru was handsome; after slightly fixing his hairstyle, his charm was completely unleashed.
With a surprised look, Mrs. Yuigahama lightly bit her lip, feeling somewhat immodest.
“Kitagami-kun can even call me mom.”
Grumbling in his mouth, Mrs. Yuigahama released her hand and stepped back.
“…is that okay?”
Kitagami Yoru opened his eyes, twisted his sore neck, and used this brief opportunity to calm his heart.
The rich scent of her body let him feel a little dazed and confused.
Otherwise, he dared not look at Mrs. Yuigahama.
“Okay……”
Mrs. Yuigahama took another step back, holding her chin and mumblingly sizing up Kitagami Yoru.
Kitagami Yoru turned around to pick up the apron and put it on himself.
“How can you not be good-looking～”
“Hmm…….”
Mrs. Yuigahama let out a light sigh later, moving forward while extending her hands.
Kitagami Yoru, who hadn’t prepared anything, let Mrs. Yuigahama’s warm palm embrace his head.
Kitagami Yoru: “?”
The next second, he heard Mrs. Yuigahama’s gentle voice by his ear.
“Don’t move, adjust it one more time from behind.”
While speaking, Mrs. Yuigahama pressed Kitagami Yoru’s head down with force.
His head went down, naturally leaning forward.
They got very close.
That proximity was right in front of Kitagami Yoru’s eyes, making him catch his breath.
Having had one experience, yet still a very bashful person at heart, he froze stiffly, not daring to breathe, with wide-open eyes.
The next second.
Mrs. Yuigahama pressed down again without realizing anything was wrong.
Just about to rub against him face-to-face, Kitagami Yoru tensed and closed his eyes.
It was just a centimeter away, or even millimeters apart.
Mrs. Yuigahama finished up, stepped back, and let go of Kitagami Yoru who continued to size him up, very satisfied with his own work.
“Mrs. Yuigahama-san’s mother, you really treat me like a child……”
“Huh~”
Kitagami Yoru blinked his eyes vigorously, staring at the ground, silently exerting a forceful breath.
He was right about that, but not entirely correct.
Mainly, he’s just too handsome; even a mother who has birthed a daughter found it hard to resist his charm and could enjoy such treatment.
The rest is due to Kitagami Yoru’s character, identity, past reactions, etc…
None of these matters.
The previous disgustingly fat guy made women hate and fear him; any bad thing could fall on his head.
Now Kitagami Yoru is favored by many women, liked.
This is blatant favoritism.
“Perfect!”
Mrs. Yuigahama cheerfully clapped her hands and pulled out a phone.
“What do I need to do?”
Kitagami Yoru stood up in compliance.
“Like this……”
“Keep doing that…….”
“Relax your gaze a bit, look more melancholic…….”
Mrs. Yuigahama was directing Kitagami Yoru, constantly pressing the phone’s shutter.
“Click-click-click—”
She took dozens of photos and saved them in her phone album.
“Perfect.”
Mrs. Yuigahama clenched her fist, expressing satisfaction and encouragement to Kitagami Yoru.
“Oh, I’m so tired.”
Kitagami Yoru thought running 2000 meters was more exhausting than going himself, and he sat down, relaxed.
“Heh heh～”
Mrs. Yuigahama glanced at Kitagami Yoru as she flipped through the just-taken spoils of war.
Kitagami Yoru carried a coffee tray, slightly bowed, his bangs fluttering, with a professional smile on his face.
Kitagami Yoru leaned his body, pretending to clean up the messy table….
………
………
Kitagami Yoru put one hand behind his back and propped it on the sofa’s backrest, with slightly parted feet, a relaxed expression, and a natural smile.
He exuded an aura that seemed sunny at first glance but upon closer inspection carried melancholy, aloofness, and a sense of being hard to approach, yet also warm and amiable…
“Ugh!”
Mrs. Yuigahama flipped through this photo, stared at it for two seconds as if time itself had slowed down in the world she was in, and let out a light gasp.
The Kitagami Yoru in the photo emanated charm effortlessly breaking down this mature woman’s self-perceived solid defenses, her face flushing instantly.
Plump and full-bodied white thighs followed their natural instinct to press tightly together, even lightly caressing them.
The tips of his toes curled slightly, the whole foot tense, raising the toe tips…….
Itchy all over……
Just like…….
Lose……..
Lost………
Totally lost………
I never thought of myself as the kind of young girl who gets flustered and loses her way when she sees a handsome guy……
Kitagami Yoru made himself a cup of coffee, drank it big gulps, completely oblivious to Yuigahama-san’s strange condition.
…….
Afternoon, time to head home after work.
Kitagami Yoru received his pay and with the eight-fold discount, left the Angel Café.
“Finally, I’m off…”
Mrs. Yuigahama only then realized that Kitagami Yoru couldn’t face her in such a peculiar feeling, watching as Kitagami Yoru slowly leaves.
“There’s still more.”
On the way to the station, Kitagami Yoru opened his pay envelope.
Payroll, simply put, is the money given for work.
Reaching the end of Commercial Street, Kitagami Yoru took a bus ride back home.
Not Apartment, but home.
Half an hour later.
Kitagami Yoru arrived home, just in time for dinner.
August’s Tokyo turns completely dark by seven o’clock every night.
Suddenly coming home gave quite a scare to Kitagami Yoru’s parents.
“Didn’t I ask you to trick our son into going for a physical checkup? Did you do that?”
Kitagami Megumi asked while Kitagami Yoru was in the restroom.
“I did, but he hasn’t gone yet.”
Kitagami Hougai smiled wryly; it’s a great thing for our son to be thin.
With long hair, lifting it reveals the big guy.
“I’m urging you to hurry.”
Kitagami Megumi speaks softly.
Quickly, Kitagami Yoru comes to the kitchen for dinner, tossing his duckbill hat aside.
She uses Mrs. Yuigahama’s black hairband and casually ties up her hair, picking up a bowl.
The couple is only delighted by their handsome son, not surprised.
Young Kitagami Hougai is much like this, with some resemblance.
They all know that they won’t be the same as outsiders.
At this time, Kitagami Yoru still isn’t slim enough.
He is still slightly chubby, with a high body fat percentage.
His looks have already surpassed those of the young Kitagami Hougai!
Not to mention that he casually wears his hair in a messy bun and clothes are loose and baggy, looking very disheveled.
Kitagami Megumi looks at her son’s features with great pride.
Perfectly blending the features of her youth with those of Kitagami Hougai, she has inherited their best qualities and discarded their flaws.
“Ha!”
Kitagami Megumi takes a bite of food, glancing at her son, Kitagami Hougai.
Once, she was completely uninterested in men, like the aloof and arrogant Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But when she first saw Kitagami Hougai, her heart skipped a beat, then she got tricked.
Can being prone to gain weight be inherited?
……..
There’s exactly one week left until school starts again.
In the morning, Kitagami Yoru woke up very early.
He took a deep breath and stepped on the scale.
The numbers flew quickly, finally settling at 153.
With this height of his, 130 is the bottom line for standard weight.
“Still a week left, I should be able to lose a few pounds, right?”
Kitagami Yoru exhaled in dissatisfaction and walked off the scale with hands on hips.
He thought he could slim down to standard weight by himself.
“I need another month, maybe two, to work out a good physique and figure.”
“By that time, next year will be an entirely new me.”
“Considering the current situation, I want to get rid of this stubborn weight and fat.”
“Estimating it would take at least a month, maybe even longer.”
“The further back you go, the tougher it gets.”
Kitagami Yoru picked up the scale and headed to the shower.
Today he won’t go for a morning run. After breakfast, he’s ready to leave.
The day before yesterday.
Kato Megumi came over to find Kitagami Yoru and they went together to the travel agency to register, using their tickets.
“Today we’re leaving. At Shinjuku Station in the center of town, we’ll meet our guide.”
“San-san has also been temporarily entrusted to Mom.”
“By the way, has Gabriel come back?”
Kitagami Yoru is a bit missing Gabriel.
After breakfast, he packed his backpack that was already prepared and set off for Shinjuku.
An hour later,
Kitagami Yoru arrives at the square in front of the station, looking for a guide and Kato Megumi.
He wears a duckbill hat, pushing his hair back, with his eyes showing.
The meeting time is 9:30 AM, departure at exactly 10:00 AM.
Now, it’s 8:50 AM.
The guide should have arrived early.
A few minutes later, the guide sends location information to a small group.
Kitagami Yoru hesitates for a while before walking over.
He sees an older gentleman guide, with several tourists standing nearby, both locals and foreigners.
Approaches, confirms the information, and quietly waits at the side by Kitagami Yoru.
A few more minutes pass.
Kato Megumi appears in front of Kitagami Yoru wearing casual clothes, sneakers, with a small backpack: “Kato, good morning.”
Kitagami Yoru greets him.
“Ha, good morning.”
Kato Megumi smiles slightly and takes out a sandwich from her bag, waving it: “Would you like to eat? I bought extra.”
“I’ve already eaten.”
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi get along very casually, directly declining.
Declining might hurt the friendship?
It’s completely nonexistent.
“I ate it.”
Kato Megumi stood by the side, nibbling away little by little, her eyes stealing glances at Kitagami Yoru.
When she first saw Kitagami Yoru, she was really scared. She couldn’t sleep all night.
The original Kitagami Yoru was chubby, with features all wrapped up in fat.
After losing weight, she reversed two levels.
Handsome……and charming……
Take an example, a person’s looks. If he is handsome, then he is just that—handsome.
Another person, with ordinary looks but very charismatic, has some shining points—it’s charm.
Being charming means you’re also handsome!
Kitagami Yoru is a combination of both.
Just one glance and I want to keep looking at his face.
How can it get old without getting tired, but instead the more you look, the more you like it—it’s so adorable.
If a girl says you’re handsome, then maybe you really are.
If she says you’re cute, actually you might not be. It means she has feelings for you.
“School is about to start……”
Kato Megumi’s gaze hasn’t left her good friend’s face.
She’s happy for Kitagami Yoru, but there’s a small dilemma and envy in her heart.
“Kitagami-kun has become so handsome. Going to school will definitely make him very popular.”
“If he were……”
Kato Megumi is just one friend of Kitagami Yoru, counting as close.
Kitagami Yoru has become handsome.
“Absolutely certain, there will be a bunch of girls surrounding Kitagami Yoru. I must exclude myself from that…”
“Ugh…….
Ten on the dot.
The guide uncle’s group is all assembled.
Including him, there are nine people in total.
Let’s head into the station together. The travel agency has booked train tickets for us to go to Kanagawa Prefecture.
Kanagawa Prefecture is a well-known tourist city located right below Tokyo, bordering it.
It’s very close.
If you live at the junction, you can have one foot in Tokyo and another in Kanagawa.
The first stop is Yokohama City.
As soon as we step out of the station, a shuttle from the travel agency will come to pick us up and take us to the hotel.
The hotel is a four-star one.
We’ll be staying for one night.
Enjoyed the free buffet lunch and took a short rest.
At 2 PM, the guide uncle leads the travel group on a shuttle bus to various attractions.
If you don’t want to go, you can stay back at the hotel and relax.
The famous Chuo Street in Yokohama is also the largest in Japan and all of Asia!
Once we get here, just follow behind the guide uncle and walk together with Kato Megumi.
A sense of warmth will surge over us.
Shopped for more than an hour.
Kitagami Yoru pulls Kato Megumi along, takes a few photos together, and snacks on some treats.
Afterwards, they board a minibus heading to the next travel destination.
The future of Yokohama’s port is 21.
Yamabiko Zoo.
In the evening, the minibus drives over Yokohama Bay Bridge, wrapping up.
The next day.
Self-service breakfast, departure for Kamakura at 9 o’clock.
Now to tour a renowned art gallery, enjoying a free lunch at noon.
In the afternoon, visit Kamakura’s naval base to see American warships.
The remaining time is up to each person; tomorrow is the last day.
Evening, inside the hotel room.
Kato Megumi wears a loose casual t-shirt, with many American dishes on the small table.
There’s an American base here where lots of families live.
Lots of Americans have opened restaurants.
Kato Megumi goes to buy some back.
Inside the bathroom.
The sound of Kitagami Yoru showering comes to a sudden stop.
Putting on a large white one-piece bathrobe, Kitagami Yoru dries his hair with a blower and evaluates his face.
“Still not enough, there’s still some detail that’s chubby, only able to reduce body fat…..”
“How do you think I look like this?”
The face reflected in the mirror, Kitagami Yoru can’t make an accurate evaluation; he somehow thinks it’s not bad, fair and white.
At least he’s not ugly.
Because he heard that, if a person stares at a mirror for too long, their eyes and brain will automatically hypnotize themselves.
So, Kitagami Yoru always hesitates.
Perhaps this is what it means to be in the midst of fortune without knowing its value.
But he doesn’t need to know.
Just let others see his face.
After drying his hair, Kitagami Yoru remembered it was time to eat. He tied back his hair and pushed the door open.
“How handsome…..”
Kato Megumi had been looking at him all day without any resistance.
If you look a little longer, you’ll end up liking Kitagami Yoru.
The third day.
The small bus leaves early.
Heading to Kamakura, the most famous place in Kanagawa.
It has a seven-mile coastline, the filming location of Slam Dunk.
The Great Buddha of Kamakura, Edo Island!
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi sit together, securing the window seat.
“We’re about to reach Shonan Beach in a minute. It’s also the filming location of Slam Dunk……”
“Everyone, please turn left. The driver, kindly slow down for us….”
“There’s no need to rush or panic….. The bus will stop nearby soon……”
The tour guide uncle calmed down.
The car slowly drove over that uphill slope…
Late August, the weather was really clear, a great time to watch the sea.
The blue-green water seemed poetic and picturesque.
Kitagami Yoru pursed his lips, he could still speak.
You came all the way from Kanagawa for this place.
Kato Megumi with a consistently plain expression slightly opened her mouth.
Ten minutes later.
The minibus stopped nearby.
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi walked for a bit, came down from the slope, with a school just nearby.
Down the slope, under the scorching sun, dozens of tourists crowded together taking crazy photos on their phones.
They took a break at noon.
In the afternoon, they went to see the Great Buddha in Kamakura and walked around Shōnan Island.
The tour ended, preparing to head back home.
Kato Megumi probably wasn’t done playing, asked Kitagami Yoru where she wanted to meet, she wanted to see the sea, and they would return tomorrow.
Kitagami Yoru was not in a hurry; he and Kato Megumi chose a famous beach nearby and rented two rooms.
Kato Megumi went to rest, too sunburned, she’d go back to the sea at dusk.
During the journey, Kitagami Yoru didn’t give up exercising; if he couldn’t run, he did push-ups, mountain running, all in discipline.
Around 5:30 PM.
The sun weakened.
Kato Megumi changed into a conservative swimsuit and applied sunscreen, appearing before Kitagami Yoru.
“I didn’t bring a swimsuit…..”
Kitagami Yoru finally realized this, and personally isn’t very fond of swimming.
“Let’s go to the beach, it wouldn’t be complete without a swim.”
Kato Megumi smiled faintly.
Let’s head to this beach together.
The sand is thick and golden, the water clear and bottomless, with small waves.
You can’t see any trash, there are professional lifeguard towers.
It’s just that, others are people too, they know to avoid the scorching afternoon sun.
This spot is a bit crowded.
Kato Megumi started stretching and warming up to go into the water.
Kitagami Yoru doesn’t want to swim, so he sits on the beach, hugging his knees silently, watching.
Occasionally, he answers Kato Megumi’s words from the sea with a sentence or two of conversation.
There are also fun things on the beach.
After about ten minutes, Kato Megumi swims back to shore, wet all over.
Kitagami Yoru walks up and offers a towel.
“Sorry for letting you watch me swim…..”
While wiping the seawater off her fair skin, Kato Megumi reveals an apologetic smile.
The faint smile disappears in a flash, leaving her expression calm again.
“Shall we go buy some drinks?”
Kitagami Yoru just waves his hand, it doesn’t matter to him.
Kato Megumi lightly nodded and walked towards the restaurant at the edge of the beach with him.
“Why is someone always looking at me?”
Kitagami Yoru arrived in front of the restaurant, glanced back suspiciously, and rubbed his face.
Kato Megumi ordered a soda, while Kitagami Yoru chose to drink an iced electrolyte water. They walked out of the restaurant and sat down nearby.
“What a coincidence, is it Kitagami-san?”
Vignette approached in normal swimwear to greet them.
She recognized Kitagami Yoru as a demon by her scent.
“Vignette?”
It was surprising for Kitagami Yoru that Vignette, whom he hadn’t seen in ages, could recognize herself.
“It’s me. You’ve lost a lot of weight…”
Vignette sized up Kitagami Yoru and said.
Well, Kitagami-san losing weight made you look good.
Is this what humans call charm?
In the demon world, strength is considered beauty.
Secondly, it’s about looks.
“Thank you.”
Kitagami Yoru could already anticipate that in a few days, there would be people everywhere at school discussing his weight loss.
But that’s better.
Let yourself become the talk of the town by clearing up the misunderstanding about stealing Kato Megumi’s stockings and fat pants. It was just a mistake.
Rumors spread with their mouth, but it takes two to tango!
“Who is this?”
Vignette chose to sit next to Kato Megumi and looked at Satania.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Kato Megumi from the 2nd Year.”
Kato Megumi seemed to have realized that Vignette and Kitagami Yoru weren’t very close; they just knew each other.
“My name is Vignette, Kato-senpai.”
Vignette smiled kindly, leaving no trace of annoyance.
Due to Gabriel’s relationship, when meeting Kitagami Yoru, Vignette never called him out as such and continued calling him this.
The three hadn’t had a chance to chat for long.
Carrying a large watermelon, Satania dashed over quickly as if the melon weighed nothing from afar.
“Vignette, you made me search high and low!”
Satania was wearing black swimsuit, quite conservative, standing silently in front of Kitagami Yoru while looking at Vignette.
“Sorry……Satania…..”
Vignette forced a smile, indicating the two people beside her.
“Who’s that?”
“Oh, Kitagami Yoru!”
Satania directly turned her head to look, first surprised, then jumping up in surprise.
The watermelon she was holding got tossed out of her hand.
With a small body but immense power, the watermelon flew high into the air.
At least two or three meters high……
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi tilted their heads in unison, staring at the flying watermelon with a gasp.
“Not good.”
Satania noticed something was off and couldn’t help but reach for a watermelon again.
A huge green watermelon came crashing down.
Satania wasn’t afraid; she caught it accurately.
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi stared in disbelief.
“Satania was born with great strength, her athletic cells are exceptionally good.”
Vignette helped Satania compose herself so the two beside her wouldn’t be too shocked.
Afterward, she still looked astonished.
She distinctly remembered that Satania didn’t know Kitagami Yoru; what was going on?
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi quickly accepted the fact.
Throwing a big watermelon up, even though it went slightly higher, wasn’t too crazy.
Many girls her age who specialize in sports can do this effortlessly.
Kato Megumi looked at Kitagami Yoru and then at Satania.
“Ah～”
Relieved, Satania sat on the beach without hiding her gaze towards Kitagami Yoru.
No one found it strange.
After a while.
She was the first to speak up and greet Kato Megumi.
“Hey, let’s play a watermelon smashing game.”
Satania proposed, tapping the watermelon and looking at Kitagami Yoru.
“Crrrack…”
“Taking advantage of this opportunity to get closer with Kitagami Yoru…”
“Sure, I’ll play.”
Boredom is boredom; Kitagami Yoru raised his hand in agreement.
He’s already agreed, so Kato Megumi definitely won’t object.
Satania immediately picked up the watermelon and found a suitable shady spot.
Meanwhile, Kitagami Yoru received quite a bit of attention. He finally understood.
By his side were three cute, youthful girls; others thought he was abnormal for having them around?
“Come on, cover your eyes.”
Satania handed a small wooden stick to Kitagami Yoru.
Vignette and Kato Megumi together helped Kitagami Yoru put on blindfolds to block the view.
“Hehehe…..”
Satania looked at Kitagami Yoru with his eyes covered, her face full of mischief.
“Gabriel’s friend, let’s fool around a bit; after all, we’re just playing the game…..”
“I wonder if I secretly moved the watermelon……”
After announcing it, Kitagami Yoru opened his eyes and immediately closed them again.
Holding the stick, relying on memory, controlling his body straight ahead to smash the watermelon.
Satania brought a bad smile and made a whistling gesture, directly picking up the watermelon.
Vignette and Kato Megumi were slightly stunned but chose not to speak out.
There have been experiments abroad where covering one’s eyes makes it impossible for humans to walk in a straight line.
The best result, which is maintaining the straight path for just a few meters, starts deviating from the predetermined course.
Kitagami Yoru’s situation was not much better.
“But always trying to keep her body balanced, searching for the feeling.”
“Watermelon is here, in this place.”
Satania holds a watermelon in her arms, standing on the left side of Kitagami Yoru, shouting loudly.
Kitagami Yoru hears the voice and makes an effort to locate the source and discern the direction. He looks off to the right.
A few steps later, tentatively, she lightly swings a stick towards the ground.
The sand flies up and down with a dull sound.
“Not here?”
“Satania-san is reminding me.”
Kitagami Yoru changes direction again, right on target towards Satania.
“Right, it’s exactly here.”
Satania gives a wicked smile and nods her head, revealing her dimples.
Vignette and Kato Megumi stand quietly to the side without speaking.
Kitagami Yoru suddenly moves forward, taking a big step.
To ensure safety, she is walking in a straight line. In fact, it turns out that she has succeeded.
There’s still some distance between Satania and the watermelon.
“Right, right, the watermelon is right in front of you.”
Satania seems extremely happy, nodding repeatedly.
After saying that, she holds onto the watermelon and doesn’t move away from it.
Instead, she moves closer to Kitagami Yoru, standing next to him with a teasing expression, constantly winking and sticking out her tongue.
If Kitagami Yoru could see that, he would definitely not feel like Satania is mocking him. On the contrary, it would make her even cuter by comparison.
Satania has a petite figure, unlike Eriri who is lean and thin, except for her plump buttocks.
On the contrary, Satania’s whole body exudes sensuality.
Kitagami Yoru swung out again at this moment and hit in front, still missing the watermelon.
“No, no, move forward just a bit more.”
Satania’s voice came up close to her ear.
Kitagami Yoru’s ears twitched, straining to locate the source of the sound and move forward at his command.
When people have their eyes covered, it is difficult to discern the direction of the sound source.
Unless that voice is truly immense.
She swung a few times with her stick, Kitagami Yoru like a headless fly, unable to find his target.
“Here!”
“Left side!”
Satania stood in front of Kitagami Yoru’s left side, suppressing her laughter and continuing to speak.
Just those words, Kitagami Yoru decisively raised his wooden stick and struck down hard.
Left and right are opposites.
Satania’s left side is Kitagami Yoru’s right side.
Moreover, everyone knows that when playing the game of smashing watermelons, covering your eyes while holding a stick poses certain danger.
So no one approaches the watermelon.
No one is like Satania, embracing the watermelon and proactively moving closer to Kitagami Yoru’s side to voice a prompt.
Call……
One strike down.
Although Kitagami Yoru didn’t use much strength, he struck Satania’s head with considerable force before she could react!
“Ah!”
Satania’s smile suddenly froze, her hands loosened, and the watermelon rolled onto the ground, as she crouched down clutching her head in pain.
Kitagami Yoru sensed something was wrong and quickly loosened his eye patch.
Vignette and Kato Megumi rushed over to check on Satania.
“Such bad luck!”
Tears welled up in Satania’s eyes from the pain.
“Satania-san, did I hit you?”
Kitagami Yoru was shocked too.
“Are you okay?” Vignette came over to show concern.
“It hurts!”
Satania sat down with a thud.
“You deserve it.”
Vignette looked at Kitagami Yoru speechless, explaining what had happened.
Satania wasn’t seriously hurt; after all, she’s a demon.
But, she was injured too.
The activities for the day were naturally canceled. They returned to the hotel together.
Unexpectedly, they stayed in another hotel.
The self-inflicted pain Satania had on her head swelled up into a big bump; Kitagami Yoru felt guilty and decided to accompany her.
In the evening, there was no going out.
All four of them spent time watching movies at the hotel’s cinema.
The next day around noon, they returned to Tokyo.
On the road, Kitagami Yoru received another reminder from his old man to get a checkup.
The day after tomorrow is when school starts, so he made an appointment for that afternoon.
“Summer break’s over and I still haven’t slimmed down…”
When summer break was really over, the start of school came, and Kitagami Yoru pinched his own face.
