Edited by: Tiny Fan Fiction
Starting school, I picked up Sakurajima Mai.
Returning to Tokyo.
“So this is goodbye, Kitagami-san, Kato-senpai.”
Vignette politely waved farewell to the two of them.
“Goodbye.”
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi both waved their hands goodbye.
“Cut……”
Satania held her chest with one hand, rubbed the bump on her head that hadn’t fully deflated, looking very disdainful.
As a great demon and future ruler of hell, to fall at the feet of just a human was humiliating.
Satania was very indignant.
“Satania-san, it wasn’t intentional, I swear……”
“You wanted to catch me on purpose, didn’t you?”
Kitagami Yoru saw this and sighed, not getting angry.
Satania felt that Kitagami Yoru’s words made sense and subconsciously nodded.
After nodding, she realized something was off and quickly tried to salvage the situation: “Hmph, I won’t let you go, Kitagami Yoru.”
“See ya later.”
Kitagami Yoru smiled, ignoring Satania’s protest. Although she was quite cute, he and Kato Megumi left together.
“Alright, let’s leave too, Satania.”
Vignette pulled on Satania.
“There will be a day when I make him kneel and lick my feet……”
Satania pouted, looking at Kitagami Yoru’s retreating figure with discontent.
If she had directly asked Kitagami Yoru. It might have been implemented already.
Kitagami Yoru and Kato Megumi weren’t in a hurry to go back, and they were out for a bit of shopping until almost lunchtime before parting ways.
Sitting on the train heading home, Kitagami Yoru received a message from Gabriel.
“Gabriel is back?”
Kitagami Yoru sat alone in the corner with disheveled hair.
A few girls on the train were secretly watching him, whispering among themselves.
Gabriel sent another message asking where Kitagami Yoru was and wanted to call him back.
[He’s already on his way home]
Kitagami Yoru brushed his hair and replied to Gabriel’s message.
In that instant, one girl in the carriage went wide-eyed.
She held onto her companion for a few seconds, grabbing her friend’s hand and pointing at Kitagami Yoru, babbling incessantly.
…….
Kitagami Yoru arrived near his apartment around lunchtime.
He bought a bento box from the convenience store outside and went back home.
As he approached the apartment, he could hear Gabriel’s voice.
“Here!”
Gabriel was wearing a white mini skirt, her hair neatly combed, eagerly padding her toes towards Kitagami Yoru and waving at him.
Kitagami Yoru waved back and saw Gabriel standing in front of his apartment door.
This outfit made Gabriel look like she was on a spring outing from the past.
He quickened his pace to get back to the apartment.
“You’ve lost quite a bit of weight.”
Gabriel’s first words were an assessment of Kitagami Yoru’s current state.
“Indeed, you’ve lost a lot of weight, Gabriel. Do you have something to tell me?”
Kitagami Yoru took out the key and glanced at Gabriel.
“Hey, I’m hungry for the food you made.”
Gabriel handed over a shopping bag filled with ingredients.
Who says angels can’t be greedy?
“Also, when I went back, there was no water or electricity at home. It’s currently out of order…”
Then Gabriel added another sentence.
“Crash－”
Kitagami Yoru pushed open the door, and Gabriel walked right into his own home as if returning to his own place.
“What’s in the bag you’re carrying?”
“I just got back from traveling. I had a few days out and met Vignette and Satania.”
“Oh, oh.”
Gabriel ran barefoot into the living room with his clean white feet, directly plopping down on the sofa.
He flipped open his laptop, pulled out the charger, plugged it in, and shook his foot around while checking all over.
“Where’s San-san?”
Gabriel twisted his waist curiously asking.
“With my mom. I didn’t bring her back.”
Kitagami Yoru calmly changed into slippers and held the bag of food that Gabriel bought, moving it closer to him.
“How do you want to eat these seafood and meat?”
“Sasha…”
The bag is rustling, making a sound.
“You’re looking at it. It’s done, I’ve even called Nanami; she’ll be here in a bit.”
Gabriel’s laptop is charging, and he can’t resist turning on the power.
“Let me express myself? I’m going for a light flavor, the original taste of seafood.”
Kitagami Yoru carries a bag of food into the kitchen.
The kitchen is fully equipped. Kitagami Yoru takes out everything from the bag and washes his hands without rushing.
There’s plenty of ingredients.
He needs to think carefully about how to cook something delicious.
Takes out his phone, Kitagami Yoru searches for recipes and leaves the house.
Coming back from traveling is quite tiring.
Living room.
Gabriel lies on the sofa with his legs behind him, swinging boredly, waiting for game updates and patches.
Kitagami Yoru squeezes into a corner of the small sofa. Gabriel stretches lazily and casually places a stretch of leg and his clean white feet on his thigh.
Focused on the recipe, Kitagami Yoru thinks it’s something else and reaches out to touch it, finding it cool in his hand.
Perfectly fitting.
Gabriel yawns without a care and starts playing Genshin Impact.
After some time passes.
Having looked through the recipe, Kitagami Yoru finally decides on today’s lunch. He gradually calms his mind and looks down at his own leg.
Upon seeing it, he jumps in surprise and shakes off Gabriel’s feet.
Angelic feet are surely not smelly; they’re white and tender.
“Why am I grabbing Gabriel’s foot?”
Kitagami Yoru widened his eyes and clenched his own hands.
Gabriel sensed it but wasn’t clear what Kitagami Yoru was doing.
After finishing the task in hand, he turned to look at Kitagami Yoru: “What’s up?”
“I just accidentally grabbed your foot…”
Kitagami Yoru said somewhat embarrassedly, his gaze falling on Gabriel’s other leg with a shapely jade foot.
“Oh, I’m more afraid of itching, the bottom, just don’t touch it.”
Gabriel turned away directly, focusing back in the game.
For Gabriel’s reaction, Kitagami Yoru had a twitch at the corner of his mouth, an expressionless and strange look.
Reluctantly moving Gabriel’s cute little feet aside, Kitagami Yoru entered the kitchen and pulled up his hair.
He was preparing to cook.
First, rinse rice for cooking.
The legs of a giant octopus can be used with peanut butter, add some green bell pepper to stir-fry.
Cut into circles for the head and boil it along with clams to make soup.
After blanching green peppers, add red wine and onions, put in the oven…
Kitagami Yoru had already planned out the method and acted decisively.
He was busy preparing ingredients, ready to cook everything together to save time.
He was bustling about, finishing all the ingredients when Aoyama Nanami came over.
She hesitantly opened the door and walked barefoot into the living room.
“Gabriel, good morning.”
Aoyama Nanami greeted Gabriel who was in a fierce battle with the game’s BOSS.
“Eek.”
Gabriel’s nerves were taut as a wire, and it was already impressive that she managed to muster her spirit in response.
“Is Kitagami-san in the kitchen? I’ll go help him out.”
Aoyama Nanami didn’t bother Gabriel and went straight to the kitchen.
“Kitagami-san, I’m here to help you.”
Aoyama Nanami spoke up as she made her way towards the kitchen.
“Oh, perfect timing.”
“Aoyama-san, could you clean up the kitchen for me? It got a bit messy from what I did.”
Kitagami Yoru was struggling with the mess left by his handling of ingredients.
The process and result of cooking were enjoyable.
Cleaning up wasn’t as fun, especially after a mess.
“No problem.”
Aoyama Nanami walked to the doorway, peeked in towards the kitchen.
She saw Kitagami Yoru with his back turned, hair tied up casually.
“Kitagami-san really is quite a sight…”
Aoyama Nanami was reminded of their chance encounter on the stairs that led her to enter.
“Right here, please excuse me.”
Kitagami Yoru wrapped the Qing Dynasty clam with tin foil and placed it in the oven, setting the time.
He pointed towards the sink without turning around, filled with various trash and uneatable leftovers that emitted a pungent fishy smell.
Aoyama Nanami wasn’t afraid of dirt and started cleaning up the mess.
Kitagami Yoru was dealing with the carps.
The scales of this sea gudgeon have been scraped off, it’s been marinated with cooking and garlic for a while.
Start boiling water, add some cooking wine and garlic in the water, directly steam when done.
“It’s ready.”
Kitagami Yoru smiled, went to wash his hands at the sink, preparing to stir-fry.
He took a step closer to Aoyama Nanami and Kitagami Yoru had a smile on his face, looking at her profile.
Hot gaze landed on her cheeks, Aoyama Nanami shifted uncomfortably, moved away slightly, and secretly glanced at Kitagami Yoru.
“The fish has a bit of stink, better wash it with more cleaner.”
Kitagami Yoru dried his hands and said in a low tone, turned to the stove.
“Hmm…..hmm hmm……”
Aoyama Nanami nodded dumbly.
He spun around quickly, surprised almost screamed out loud, lucky he covered his mouth with a forearm and didn’t make a sound.
“Kitagami-san has become even more handsome!”
“Oh…..it’s like seeing another person!”
“Wow——”
The water sound from the tap is left running, Aoyama Nanami who is usually thrifty didn’t turn off the faucet.
Because today’s Kitagami Yoru is even more handsome than the guy she met at the corner of the stairs a while ago.
To put it simply, her charm has almost doubled!
Until the sound of oil splattering in the pot starts to ring out.
Aoyama Nanami released his arm from his mouth and breathed deeply.
The rich fishy smell is completely gone.
“Kitagami-san……”
“Murmuring Kitagami Yoru’s name in her mouth, Aoyama Nanami’s thighs unknowingly pressed together, their expression turned into the bashful hue that a young girl shows when she meets someone she likes.”
Brown eyes darting back and forth over Kitagami Yoru’s retreating figure.
Despite being good friends for quite some time, they’ve been through it together.
Aoyama Nanami couldn’t help but feel a bit shy herself?!
Is it because of Kitagami Yoru that she’s become more beautiful each day?
At this moment, Aoyama Nanami seems to have a little understanding, some girls in the class.
Usually open and bold, they’d only dare to speak highly of handsome guys behind their backs. But face-to-face, they can’t help but hide away.
Aoyama Nanami tidied up the kitchen and quickly left.
“Gabriel, have you noticed that Kitagami-san has become so handsome?”
Aoyama Nanami sat on the small sofa, sneakily glancing towards the kitchen.
“Yes, and then?”
Gabriel was momentarily absent-minded by this strange question and nodded hastily.
“You only think about games, right?”
Aoyama Nanami had already received her answer and glanced at the kitchen again.
“Shouldn’t Kitagami-san be lacking in female companions now that he’s become so handsome?”
“At first, I even suspected him of something because of Kanda Sorata’s words……”
The person vigorously cooking in the kitchen doesn’t realize their charm has peaked and feels a bit insecure, thinking they’re quite average.
Half an hour later.
On a simple dining table.
Kitagami Yoru opened three bottles of chilled fruit juice, handing two to Gabriel and Aoyama Nanami who were sitting across from him.
The dishes on the small table emitted a thick heat…
Garlic, onions, various spices packed together and baked in an oven to bring out the full aroma of clams.
The first bite is irresistible.
Gabriel’s mouth waters; her eyes sparkle with excitement. She shifts her chair closer eagerly.
A white, delicate foot accidentally kicks Kitagami Yoru under the table.
“Let’s get started.” Aoyama Nanami has been eyeing Kitagami Yoru and grabs a piece of trout.
Kitagami Yoru bends down to look under the table, only to see two pairs of bare white feet treading on the floor, an absolute waste.
This thought flashes by in an instant. He quickly lifts his head and takes a sip of his drink.
The meal is enjoyed happily by all three.
Gabriel washes her hands, then supports her round belly and lies down on the sofa.
Aoyama Nanami helps Kitagami Yoru clean up after dinner. They’re off to work now.
“Bye-bye……”
Kitagami Yoru sees Aoyama Nanami to the door.
“See you later….”
Aoyama Nanami nods lightly.
Actually, she can stay for half an hour more.
Afternoon.
The water and electricity at Gabriel’s apartment are restored. She heads back immediately.
Kitagami Yoru sits on the sofa, shaking her head with a smile as she twirls a lock of golden hair in her hand.
There is still the warmth and scent left by Gabriel below.
Around dusk, the heat gradually fades away.
Kitagami Yoru goes home and takes San-san over.
At the same time, he was scolded and urged by his parents to go for a medical checkup as soon as possible.
Kitagami Yoru has already made an appointment for the day after tomorrow when school starts.
Back home, Kitagami Yoru studied for an hour as usual, putting down the well-studied textbook and resting his head on his hands.
His long hair fell scatteredly, covering his stunning beauty, while also reflecting in the mirror.
“Ah～”
He sighed softly, then laid out a yoga mat and began to exercise as usual.
Jumping jacks, three hundred times.
Running up the mountain, ten sets.
Planking…
Bear turns…
The bright moon hangs high, and the stars are dotted across the sky.
Kitagami Yoru, who had been traveling by boat and cart, quickly felt drowsy.
He seemed to be comparing something, grabbing a bottle of Red Bull and entering the shower room.
Comfortably soaking in the bath, he then picked up San-san outside on the couch and held her in his arms.
“Meow meow～”
This round little black cat turned its eyes and meowed a few times.
“Tonight, let’s sleep together after you’ve had your drink.”
Kitagami Yoru chuckled softly, gently scratching San-san under her chin.
Such a cute little cat that I picked up for myself.
So adorable, it was like he had found something precious.
………..
August 31st.
The day before school starts.
Kitagami Yoru woke up and stepped on the scale with an empty stomach.
“146.”
“This weight is okay, it’s below the fat line. I’d be perfect if I lost another 10 pounds.”
Kitagami Yoru touched his hair and got off the scale.
Now he stands naked.
Just looking at his figure, there’s no more chubby appeal.
Only when bending over does a shallow layer of fat push out on his small stomach.
“If my face could be a bit thinner and my body fat percentage even lower, that would be perfect.”
Kitagami Yoru put away the scale and sighed inwardly.
He’s well aware he has a lot of room for improvement (handsome).
The fat on his face can come off too, and his body fat percentage can go down.
This isn’t even my most perfect state!
After washing up, he makes breakfast.
Kitagami Yoru goes to the park for a morning run.
Today I didn’t meet Fujiwara Chika. Maybe tomorrow when school starts, there will be more busy with Student Council stuff.
After coming back home and resting for a bit, Kitagami Yoru thoroughly washes his hair and takes out a duckbill hat, heading to the Inokashira area.
Haircut!
The hairstyle does affect your looks, which Kitagami Yoru is very clear about himself.
He thinks, even if I’m not that good-looking, let me add some points for myself in the aspect of hairstyles.
“I really envy those guys who are good-looking, surrounded by cute and beautiful girls…”
“Not everyone is like Dad, ugly, but still got the pretty mom.”
“Clang……”
Locking the door, Kitagami Yoru stepped out.
After about an hour in a car, Kitagami Yoru arrived at the bustling Shibuya area.
Shibuya, Harajuku.
It is renowned as the fashion mecca of Asia.
Countless bills, flash shops, trendy people gather here for street snaps…
Exceedingly lively.
Kitagami Yoru walked through the busiest crossroad in Shibuya, following his phone’s navigation to a hair salon.
This time, he was willing to spend big.
Ready to pay top dollar for his hairstyle.
Entering an imposing shopping mall, Kitagami Yoru took off his hat and entered the elevator.
Pressed the floor button.
The transparent glass elevator shot up at high speed. Through his thick hair, Kitagami Yoru looked down on the bustling traffic below.
He had already made an appointment; after entering the shop, someone greeted him and led him into a private little room.
The place was very minimalist: two floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the front and back, with drinks, fruits, and snacks.
He waited for a few minutes.
Looking somewhat like Iron Man’s chief hairstylist, an uncle in a vest entered.
“Good day, Kitagami-sama. Do you have any requests for your hairstyle?”
Tony asked.
“I don’t know, can you help me design it?”
After saying that, Kitagami Yoru closed his eyes.
Uncle Toni sighed softly; making money isn’t easy.
This is a top-tier modeling agency.
Everything they do is for the turnaround customer.
When facing such new customers as Kitagami Yoru, without stating their own requirements, if they’re not satisfied, they won’t come back in the future.
Shaking his head gently, Uncle Toni lifted Kitagami Yoru’s hair to reveal his full face.
Then came a powerful tremor!
He is a man with a wife he loves dearly; there are no issues regarding his gender orientation.
Being of the same sex, everyone finds Kitagami Yoru very attractive and handsome!
“It turns out this guest was naturally beautiful; any hairstyle can suit him……”
Uncle Toni relaxed his mood.
He’s so good-looking, even coming to bite a dog looks good on him.
“But still, we need to design it well.”
“This guest should be a student; he has long messy hair that hasn’t been styled, probably because he doesn’t want to keep it long…”
“A buzz cut? Doesn’t suit a student….”
“Cutting into a more convenient style and less common would be nice…..”
Uncle Toni is very serious, thinking with the money paid by Kitagami Yoru in mind, countless ideas flash through his head.
The final decision has been made.
A slightly long and easily styled comic hero male lead hairstyle.
Uncle Toni has cut this style a few times.
Still getting famous male idols from the entertainment industry for their looks.
Not a single one succeeded without fail.
Their looks couldn’t hold up.
Uncle Toni, however, was confident. Kitagami Yoru can do it.
Half an hour later.
Uncle Toni gently used hair gel to catch the scattered airiness, pulled out small knots, and nodded in satisfaction.
This level of looks could make him a cowherd at the new Kabukicho (town) when he grows up. He wouldn’t lack rich ladies throwing money even if it costs one million yen per night.
Of course, Toni Big Bro is unaware of Kitagami Yoru’s terrifying expenses.
“Alright, this customer……”
Uncle Toni gently wakes up Kitagami Yoru.
Having slept for a long time, Kitagami Yoru lets out two coughs and stands up lazily.
Opens his eyes and looks at himself in the mirror.
“What’s this?”
Blinking his eyes, Kitagami Yoru suddenly feels a bit handsome?
Is it possible that he is a young heartthrob?
A person with extremely low confidence in their looks starts to doubt himself.
“This customer, you really are very handsome.”
“Not an exaggeration, you’re the most attractive person I’ve seen in years of working.”
Uncle Toni smiles with satisfaction at his own achievement.
“Thank you, nice hairstyle.”
Kitagami Yoru looks at his hair and associates it with the protagonist of a manga.
The air feels so chaotic and well crafted.
His black hair has taken on a subtle brownish hue, adding depth to his appearance.
As for Tony’s praise, Kitagami Yoru took it as a manner of politeness and attracting customers.
He didn’t mind.
Taking the free gift box from the hair salon, Kitagami Yoru left the salon immediately.
Passing by the salon’s lounge area, he noticed several good-looking ladies staring straight at him with wide eyes.
“It’s about time for lunch. You’ve been styling your hair for a long time.”
Kitagami Yoru took the elevator downstairs to buy some water and sat on a bench by the roadside to drink it.
There was still plenty of time before his scheduled medical checkup.
Three cool, hair-dyed ladies approached Kitagami Yoru together.
“Hello…..”
“Nice to meet you. Are you here alone?”
The three of them were just passing by and attracted to Kitagami Yoru because of his looks.
“Ah? Ha??”
Kitagami Yoru lifted his head, looking at the three coolly dressed beauties before him, feeling somewhat flustered.
“I ask, are you here alone?”
“Would you like to join us for a drink?”
“Shall we?”
One of them spoke and even wanted to reach out to pull Kitagami Yoru.
“No…….I have something to do, sorry……”
Kitagami Yoru dodged instinctively and managed a smile.
“What?”
“No way!”
“Let’s go.”
They left somewhat reluctantly after such a direct rejection.
“Are all the courtesans in this era so bold as to openly solicit customers on the streets?”
Kitagami Yoru shook his head like a paddle wheel.
This place is close to the geisha town (town), which is the largest red light district in all of Asia.
Naturally, Kitagami Yoru mistook the woman who approached him for a courtesan.
They were just more open.
He wanted to sleep with what looked like an innocent handsome guy together.
…….
“I should probably move even further away from here.”
After the courtesan left, Kitagami Yoru quickly got up and moved out of the Kitanogaya district.
Instead of going home for lunch, he went to the beach in Minato District.
He had lunch at a family restaurant nearby.
“Thank you…..”
Kitagami Yoru politely accepted the food served by the waiter.
He ordered a set meal that included appetizer, main course, drink, and an incredibly crispy chocolate-coated waffle cookie bread.
Watching the waffle cookie for a while, Kitagami Yoru shook his head hesitantly deciding not to eat it.
He just wasn’t thin enough yet.
Keep at it!
Kitagami Yoru pushed the plate with chocolate croissants aside and looked up to meet the gaze of a little girl from the next table.
Her eyes were filled with longing…
Kitagami Yoru was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at his own chocolate croissant.
The longing in the little girl’s gaze burst forth as she nodded vigorously.
“Would you like to have it?”
Kitagami Yoru smiled, and the little girl was quite cute.
How old are you?
No, she must be in kindergarten.
“Let’s think about it…”
Kawasaki Keika spoke decisively.
“Then I’ll give it to you. Anyway, I won’t eat it.”
Kitagami Yoru smiled and pushed the chocolate croissant across.
“Are you serious?”
“Thank you, big brother……”
Kawasaki Keika hesitated but then ran up to face Kitagami Yoru.
With a lift of her hips, she sat down across from him.
“Are you here alone?”
Kitagami Yoru picked up the salad and put it into his mouth.
“No, I’m with my sister…..”
“This brother of yours, can I really eat this?”
Kawasaki Keika hesitated as she looked at Kitagami Yoru and eagerly grabbed the chocolate croissant.
“Sure, here you go. It’s all yours.”
Kitagami Yoru smiled.
“Thanks, big brother, you’re so handsome…”
Kawasaki Keika squinted her eyes and smiled, hugged a chocolate croissant, and took a big bite right away.
The inner filling was incredibly rich and thick black chocolate, bursting straight out, covering Kawasaki Keika’s mouth.
Kawasaki Saki returned from the bathroom, caught sight of Kawasaki Keika not being in her spot for a moment.
In the next second…
Her eyes caught sight of Kawasaki Keika’s figure and she switched back to the previous seat, still eating the chocolate croissant.
Across from her was another guy.
The two were engaged in conversation.
She sighed and walked towards Kawasaki Keika, basically understanding everything.
Her own sister, familiar to her.
“Keika, you ran around again…..and…”
Kawasaki Saki somehow ended up with an extra piece of paper in her hand and approached Kawasaki Keika.
“Saki-neesan…”
Kawasaki Keika put down the croissant, both hands and mouth covered with chocolate syrup.
“I’m really sorry, sir. My sister she……”
“She… “
“She disturbed you…..”
Kawasaki Saki’s words were halfway through when she got stuck and then continued in a broken, fragmented manner.
The guy in front of her had an unimaginably stunningly beautiful face, a charismatic air about him that made people want to get close.
“Heh heh…No problem…..”
Kitagami Yoru hadn’t noticed anything strange because he was frozen too.
The long-legged beauty in front, with a high ponytail, a tear tattoo under her left eye, wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, and white sneakers.
That’s not just Kawasaki…
What is the full name of that classmate?
A year ago, he was in the same class as Kitagami Yoru.
Because Kawasaki Saki’s legs were long and white, he remembered it.
“I’ll help you wipe your face.”
Kawasaki Saki steadied herself, bent down, and helped Kawasaki Keika wipe the chocolate off her face with a tissue.
Kitagami Yoru cut a piece of meat silently and watched.
“I’ll pay for this chocolate bread.”
Kawasaki Saki rolled the paper into a ball, pulled on Kawasaki Keika’s hand, and looked at Kitagami Yoru while saying.
“Really, it’s not necessary. I didn’t plan to eat it in the first place.”
Kitagami Yoru put down his fork and waved his hand dismissively.
“Yeah yeah, Saki-chan, this handsome guy is treating me to chocolate bread.”
“And I want to eat right here, not go anywhere else.”
Kawasaki Keika struggled and shook her head repeatedly.
Kitagami Yoru forced a bitter smile.
I treated you to chocolate bread, so you praised me for being handsome, right?
Kawasaki Keika wasn’t just cute; her mouth was sweet too.
“Keika……”
Kawasaki Saki and Kawasaki Keika locked eyes, ultimately unable to resist their sisterly feelings.
Apologetically looking at Kitagami Yoru, she forced a smile and sat across from him.
“That……”
Kitagami Yoru took a sip of water, gently opening his mouth to speak to Kawasaki Saki.
“What’s up?”
Kawasaki Saki sized up the handsome young man before her.
“It’s Kawasaki classmate……”
“Right, isn’t it?”
Kitagami Yoru suddenly smiled awkwardly, a very forced smile while scratching the back of his head.
“Hmm…..?”
Kawasaki Saki immediately tensed up, quickly looking him over from top to bottom with an intense gaze at Kitagami Yoru.
A cold face gradually showing surprise?
Kawasaki Keika chewed her food slower, holding the bread in both hands and looked at her sister then at Kitagami Yoru.
This handsome guy, is he a classmate of her sister Saki?
“Sorry, could you please tell me which classmate you are?”
Kawasaki Saki looked over Kitagami Yoru thoroughly but couldn’t recognize him.
And if she did know him.
If Kitagami Yoru had grown into this appearance, it wouldn’t be that he has no reputation at all in school.
She was very certain she didn’t recognize the person before her!
“Don’t get it wrong, I just know you. You were a classmate of mine from next door, so that’s why I recognized you.”
Kitagami Yoru inwardly sighed and thought about going to school tomorrow.
“Everyone in the school will probably think of themselves this way too, won’t they?”
“Elementary and middle school classmates?”
Kawasaki Saki is a student from the mixed academy, so she continues to speculate.
If that’s the case, it’s normal not to remember after years apart.
“No… I…”
“I am Kitagami Yoru…”
“…the one everyone says stole Kasumigaoka Utaha’s stockings and the chubby ones’ Kitagami Yoru.”
Kitagami Yoru forced a smile.
…….
The air immediately falls into silence.
Surroundings quiet down quickly.
“Who… Who are you… Say it again, who are you?”
Kawasaki Saki’s words tremble as she speaks.
“Thief?”
Kawasaki Keika sips chocolate liquid, tilting her head.
“It’s me. I’ve been dieting all along.”
Kitagami Yoru picks up his cup and takes a sip of water to calm down.
“Is that true!”
Kawasaki Saki instinctively doubts, not fully believing it.
A disgusting fatso suddenly turns into a handsome guy with an otherworldly face value appearing before you.
No doubt, but rather there’s the problem.
“Really is me……”
Kitagami Yoru kept forcing a smile, his face thinning out so fast that it was genuinely scary to others.
“You… are absolutely unbelievable…..”
“Huh……”
Kawasaki Saki stared at Kitagami Yoru’s face, finally exhaling a deep breath after a long time.
She didn’t believe it before, thinking that the fatty was just potential stock.
“Sister Saki, what are you talking about?”
Kawasaki Keika finished her bread and curiously spoke up.
“Nothing much…..”
Kawasaki Saki wasn’t a fool; she definitely wouldn’t speak ill of Kitagami Yoru right in front of him.
“It’s something really bad for me, oh.”
Kitagami Yoru blanked out his gaze, slightly raising his head and curling his lips into a cold smile.
Kawasaki Saki glanced at him for a moment before quickly turning away to the side.
How cool!
In her own part-time bar, those lonely and bored rich ladies loved this kind of thing.
Lunch turned out to be a bit of an incident.
But it was a pleasant one.
Kitagami Yoru had lunch, then went for a walk by the sea, buying a protective medical mask along the way.
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Wearing the mask, Kitagami Yoru arrived at the hospital and began his checkup.
The different projects of a physical examination naturally take varying amounts of time.
Still need to check if there are people lining up; it’s going to be busy until around 5 p.m.
Kitagami Yoru just left the hospital.
The report hasn’t come out yet, so I can only get it tomorrow morning.
“Get the report and the CT scan results first thing tomorrow. Then head to school for roll call.”
“It’s just a health check-up, right?”
“Dad is on my case again.”
On the way home, Kitagami Yoru replies to his dad’s message and sighs.
There’s no need to be so urgent, right?
After getting home.
Kitagami Yoru just had some fruits for dinner, a bit of chicken breast strips, took a bath and went straight to bed.
The warm amber light dispelled the darkness in the room.
Kitagami Yoru holds San-san in his hands, places them on his stomach, sits with legs crossed, staring at the ceiling.
Memories flash through like horse-drawn carriage lights in his mind.
All are things he has experienced himself…
Yet not the original him; he’s become a whole new Kitagami Yoru.
……
A night of silence.
September 1st.
It’s already early autumn.
Kitagami Yoru maintains the summer schedule.
After washing up, a workout on an empty stomach, and breakfast made.
Generally speaking, reporting on the day is not necessary for class.
After eating, Kitagami Yoru let his hair scatter freely; he simply grabbed it and didn’t bother making any style.
The hairstyle designed by Uncle Toni doesn’t require deliberate styling.
“Gabriel, let’s go to school for the opening day.”
Kitagami Yoru knocked on Gabriel’s apartment door.
“No……I’m not going. You go first.”
Inside the slightly messy room, Gabriel stared at his dark circles, which clearly showed he had been gaming all night.
“Then you better keep track of time…”
Kitagami Yoru remembered that he needed to go to the hospital for a checkup and that the school registration time at Shuchiin Academy was quite flexible.
It’s fine if it’s before noon.
Gabriel wasn’t being pushed too hard.
“Aoyama-san, do you have any plans for today?”
“And there’s his boyfriend. I wonder how they are doing.”
When leaving, Kitagami Yoru had wanted to call Aoyama Nanami but hesitated at the stairs.
Earlier, after learning that Kanda Sorata was impersonating her boyfriend, Aoyama Nanami directly went to confront him.
Then Kitagami Yoru went to stay in the hospital.
Even for almost two months, he didn’t come back to school.
Aoyama Nanami and her own self had long thrown this matter out of their minds.
Until now, she still believes that Aoyama Nanami is dating Kanda Sorata.
Little does she know, Aoyama Nanami has already hated Kanda Sorata to death.
……..
In the hospital’s waiting hall.
It’s clear that it’s early autumn.
The temperature hasn’t dropped yet, and it’s not much lower than in summer.
Sakurajima Mai is wearing a thick long down jacket, her cheeks flushed on both sides, like a monkey’s behind, with lifeless eyes leaning against the chair.
Anyone who looks can see that Sakurajima Mai is in a dire state; just a gentle breeze could knock her over.
But what’s most astonishing is…
The waiting hall, the few nurses at the reception desk aren’t very busy.
Sakurajima Mai sits within their field of view, yet seems completely unnoticed, busily attending to her own tasks as if she were alone.
A stunningly beautiful young actress shining brightly in the crowd.
Abnormally, she’s wearing a long blue down jacket that one would only wear on an extremely cold winter day.
Not just the nurses at the reception desk…
Including passing patients; even an old granny sits to the left of Sakurajima Mai, also unaware of anything strange.
That’s right.
Sakurajima Mai is ill, with a very serious disease.
But she comes to the hospital just to “steal” some medicine for herself to treat her illness.
Probably about six months ago.
Sakurajima Mai realizes she has entered a strange state.
Sometimes, she deliberately gets ignored…
At first, she didn’t notice anything because it wasn’t too severe.
She just thought it was someone else’s carelessness.
Later…
The situation is getting stranger and stranger.
Three months ago.
Sakurajima Mai walked on the street after wrapping up a closed set of filming, only to find that almost everyone ignored her completely.
To those people, she was like air…
Sakurajima Mai was utterly at a loss and turned pale with fright!
As time passed, the situation worsened…
Not even her closest loved ones could see her.
She realized she was like an erased mark on white paper, completely vanishing from this world.
Even small objects she touched, such as grabbing a loaf of bread or the clothes she wore, would vanish in others’ eyes.
Radar… infrared… thermal imaging and so on…
She couldn’t be detected or found outside this world by Sakurajima Mai!
Everyone forgot her, everyone looked right through her!
The terrified Sakurajima Mai first locked herself in a room, full of despair and thoughts of suicide.
She stood before the rooftop of a hundred-story building; just one step forward would free her from pain.
She hesitated by herself, lacked courage, but finally gathered her resolve.
She chose to wear a sexy bunny girl costume and appear at busy stations and streets.
Because if someone noticed her dressed like this, they would definitely look over…
Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, New York, Paris, London…
It didn’t work domestically; she even went abroad…
The desperate Sakurajima Mai returned to Japan and was still sick.
Feeling downcast, hopeless, her body worn out by fatigue, biological clock… hormonal imbalance… travel exhaustion, flu, viruses…
Maybe it’s due to various factors.
Sakurajima Mai is burning very seriously.
She went to the convenience store and bought various drugs to take, but they couldn’t completely bring down the fever.
In the morning she takes medicine, and by night it starts rising again.
Sakurajima Mai is wrapped in a down jacket, just trying to sweat out and physically cool down.
She went to the hospital without knowing what for.
No one can see her.
Sakurajima Mai is there to get some IV fluids from the hospital, to give herself an injection.
If taking medicine doesn’t work, then go for a shot!
She sat there for quite a while.
Sakurajima Mai is so weak she can barely move her arms, tremblingly pulling out a thermometer that has been in her grip for a long time.
“39.2 degrees.”
Absolutely high fever.
Sakurajima Mai sees the number on the thermometer and breathes a sigh of relief.
She had reached 40° yesterday afternoon.
After taking one dose of antipyretic medicine, she fell asleep, possibly because of heatstroke or exhaustion.
Tremblingly, Sakurajima Mai weakly leans on the chair and lifts her hand to get up when suddenly a violent cough hits her.
Her vision blurs, spinning and turning, she directly collapses.
Luckily, she only collapsed.
Sakurajima Mai is even more afraid of fainting herself, the living fever slipping into unconsciousness, high fever with seizures, or even death!
Deep breaths, the pungent smell of disinfectant in the air stimulates Sakurajima Mai.
Struggling to get up, Sakurajima Mai scanned the surroundings and spotted a broom in the corner.
Trembling all over, like an old granny of advanced age moving forward, she grabbed the broom as a crutch and headed towards the pharmacy.
She was absolutely invisible, able to easily grab any medicine.
As for the unwarranted loss of medication, Sakurajima Mai had no way to deal with it.
Moreover, the pharmacy definitely has surveillance.
The pharmacy nurse or manager should not face punishment; they’ll just have a bit of trouble.
…….
On another side.
Kitagami Yoru got his health checkup sheet.
He really is sick.
Some low blood sugar, the doctors were flabbergasted at how fast he was losing weight.
He made an appointment and had him go to the pharmacy to buy a box of glucose supplements.
“Just low blood sugar.”
Kitagami Yoru walked towards the pharmacy while taking photos for his dad, making sure he’s okay.
He was very healthy, a dragon and tiger among humans…
On the way to the pharmacy.
Sakurajima Mai grew more and more tired; she coughed violently and fell on the cold dirty floor again.
“Eh?”
Kitagami Yoru heard the commotion and turned around, recognizing Sakurajima Mai.
Watching her continuously clutching her chest, coughing violently, her neck and throat turning completely red.
The other patients looked but chose to ignore.
Kitagami Yoru didn’t immediately notice anything strange and took big steps towards Sakurajima Mai, gently squatting in front of her.
Through blurry vision, the light in front of Sakurajima Mai dims.
She’s burning high fever; she’s about to faint.
“Sakurajima Mai, what’s wrong with you?”
Kitagami Yoru extends his hand, hesitates and shakes it, unsure whether to help Sakurajima Mai up.
After all, he still carries a bit of his past self in attitude.
He needs someone to tell him that he’s not the disgusting fat guy from before.
“You… cough… do you see me and remember who I am?”
In one word, a miracle happens. Sakurajima Mai abruptly lifts her head, adrenaline surges, receiving a strong heart injection for her.
Even if the devil himself came, he would have to wait until the adrenaline wears off before harvesting the patient’s life.
Sakurajima Mai somehow summons strength and half-kneels up, her gaze flickers but then clears up.
“What did you say?”
Kitagami Yoru subconsciously asks back.
“I… I…”
What follows is an incredibly excited Sakurajima Mai, who even forgets how to speak.
Whether to say or not, the real miraculous state of Sakurajima Mai at this moment.
If only they could control it freely, or if Kitagami Yoru could drive Sakurajima Mai using his own miraculous ability.
Saying that to a member of the huge Shinomiya family is easy. Kaguya Shinomiya seeks revenge.
That’s who should die, and they will!
Murdering someone is necessary.
Killing an American president or just any random person makes no difference.
It’s just that there is an extra step of riding a plane.
Sakurajima Mai still hasn’t responded, Kitagami Yoru gently touches her forehead with the back of his hand.
“Hello there,～”
