    Heroine Regret 85


    Edited by: Tiny Fan Fiction


    The mother and daughter in seclusion.

    “That guy who brought flowers on that day… are you coming with his mom?”

    Eriri knew deep down it was true, but she couldn’t help asking again.

    She dared not accept this!

    Kitagami Yoru’s mother and her own mother had such a good relationship; they were even coming over to visit!

    “Eriri, your mom knows you don’t like strangers, but it’s okay.”

    “And remember to clean up too, so there won’t be any mess left behind.”

    Sawamura Sayuri placed the watermelon on the table and took out a fruit knife to cut it.

    “I… know!”

    Eriri responded with a hint of dissatisfaction, but didn’t fully express it.

    Bringing Kitagami Yoru over to her own home was like putting a cute little lamb into the mouth of a ferocious tyrannosaurus rex, wasn’t it?

    “Dad isn’t home either…”

    Eriri left the restaurant with heavy steps.

    Diplomatic work is busy; that’s for sure.

    They often aren’t at home, leaving just the mother and daughter to keep each other company.

    “Damn it, why did this have to happen!”

    Eriri remembered her own proposal from before; a faint blush appeared on her body.

    She had already set those conditions herself.

    Kitagami Yoru decisively refused and even insulted her, calling her a pathetic poodle!

    “I’m not a dog…”

    “Not before, not now, nor ever!”

    Eriri clenches her teeth and pounds the sofa with small fists, breathing heavily.

    She quickly tidies up the living room before sitting down with a complex emotion.

    “We’re almost there. This area is quite broad, isn’t it?”

    Kitagami Megumi drives straight ahead and glances at his son through the rearview mirror.

    “Yes, I’m here for the first time.”

    Kitagami Yoru responds with a light laugh.

    The car turns up a hill, and Kitagami Yoru unfastens his seatbelt at the same time.

    “Another time coming here, it’s really luxurious in this wealthy district…”

    “The house of the rich.”

    Kitagami Yoru looks at the familiar scenery, which is quiet and private, with few people passing by.

    The roads on both sides are lined with high greenery and flower beds.

    This environment is perfect for half-Yoru/nights taking their dog out for a walk.

    The car stops steadily in front of the iron gate surrounding the property.

    “Get off.”

    Kitagami Megumi has seen her Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri coming out to greet her.

    Kitagami Yoru carries a gift bag and walks down calmly, with an ordinary expression.

    It’s as if he is here for the first time.

    Laugh……

    “Ah, finally you’ve come…..”

    “This……what?!”

    Sawamura Sayuri and Eriri were waiting outside the iron gate to greet Kitagami Megumi with a very warm greeting.

    Suddenly, upon seeing Kitagami Yoru, their expressions halted in suspicion, eyes constantly sizing up.

    “Look well, such a handsome young man……”

    This is Sawamura Sayuri’s first reaction that popped into her head.

    “Sawamura Auntie, I am Kitagami Yoru….haha…..”

    “I’ve been dieting all along, so you don’t recognize me……”

    Kitagami Yoru chuckled somewhat awkwardly and quickly glanced at Eriri.

    Only to see this usually confident heiress lowering her head, not daring to look up at herself.

    “Eh? Is that so? Such a big change……”

    “It seems you’ve perfectly inherited your mother’s beauty.”

    When Sawamura Sayuri speaks, it feels like she is young.

    She looks quite young too.

    “Mom……!”

    Eriri glances at Sawamura Sayuri with displeasure.

    Even her own mother is like this, what’s the point?

    “This big fat pig, wild dog, you nasty mutt, you scoundrel, there’s nothing good to see…..”

    Eriri muttered under her breath and looked up at Kitagami Yoru with a disapproving sigh.

    “This is my daughter, Eriri, also a student of Shuchiin Academy. Do you two know each other?”

    Sawamura Sayuri thought Eriri didn’t want to meet and introduced her accordingly.

    “Eriri…no, wait…”

    Sawamura-san probably doesn’t recognize me, but I know Sawamura-san, the ace of the Art Club, quite well-known.

    Kitagami Yoru puts on a completely blank expression as if he doesn’t know Eriri.

    In reality, in some ways, he knows Eriri even better than Eriri himself.

    “Hi….. This is the first time we meet. I am SawamuraEriri….”

    Eriri forces a smile, with anger bursting out of his eyes.

    “Let’s go inside and talk. We can have dinner after resting for a bit.”

    Sawamura Sayuri maintains her warm smile.

    Kitagami Megumi smiles happily too.

    It’s clear to anyone with eyes that both mothers are happy.

    Kitagami Yoru carries a gift, silently following at the end.

    They arrive at the small garden. Sawamura Sayuri even waves Eriri over, keeping Kitagami Megumi back.

    Taking advantage of twilight and some lingering sunlight, they share their own little garden.

    Kitagami Yoru suddenly looks much more relaxed, following Eriri’s behind into the luxurious villa.

    “Nice to meet you, Eriri-san.”

    After changing his shoes, Kitagami Yoru casually hands over the gift to Eriri while opening his mind-reading ability.

    “I wish I could kill you, beat you up, see you, you jerk!”

    Eriri angrily snatches the gift and glares at Kitagami Yoru.

    “You brought it on yourself. I’ve been quite tolerant already!”

    Kitagami Yoru’s expression changes.

    “We’re even now, and you’ve ruined me too!”

    [40]

    “Sigh…ugh…”

    Eriri remembered something sad and her eyes were brimming with tears.

    “After you clear up the mess later, it’s like tearing down a house to its foundations. From now on, we’re heading in opposite directions.”

    Kitagami Yoru moved away and sat down on the sofa with an air of mischief.

    “I know.”

    Eriri tucked away her vulnerable side, not wanting to make a fool of herself in front of Kitagami Yoru.

    Honestly, she was feeling terrible inside, an absolute mess.

    Now, she’s just holding on by sheer willpower.

    After sitting and resting for about fifteen minutes, Kitagami Megumi finally walked back with Sawamura Sayuri.

    After washing up, they sat down to eat.

    Eriri’s restaurant is very spacious; the space rivals that of Kitagami Yoru’s living room in her apartment.

    Kitagami Megumi and Sawamura Sayuri sit together without a hint of their own daughter or son in their eyes.

    From clothes to shoes, to plant fertilizer, skincare products, even cursing out her husband…

    “Damn…that bastard…”

    Eriri’s gaze is solely on Kitagami Yoru, not with love but thick hatred.

    Holding a crab in both hands, she bites into it with her neatly white teeth without even looking, releasing her anger.

    Kitagami Yoru completely ignores it and starts eating his dinner.

    The happier he is, the more uncomfortable Eriri feels.

    She picks up a big shrimp, peels its shell, and pops it into her mouth, revealing an expression of pure delight on her face.

    Eriri can’t help but kick the table with her feet clad in short white cotton socks, aiming at Kitagami Yoru.

    Unfortunately, her legs are too short and she barely scrape against Kitagami Yoru, causing no pain.

    “This little golden retriever…”

    Kitagami Yoru refused, picked up a boiled garlic-braised cod with his tongue, and licked it in front of Eriri.

    Eriri was shocked and almost spoke out loud, her eyes wide open in surprise, quickly lowering her head.

    “Heh…heh…”

    Kitagami Yoru sneered coldly, his heart also burning with a bit of wicked fire.

    After this, Eriri won’t dare to act any more.

    She tasted the sumptuous dinner as if chewing wax.

    Kitagami Megumi and Sawamura Sayuri were chatting happily, even drinking wine together.

    After eating their fill and drinking enough, Kitagami Yoru politely bid farewell and left the restaurant.

    “This guy!”

    Eriri cursed silently, her goosebumps disappearing from her smooth, delicate white skin.

    At the same time, she let go of her tightly clenched thighs.

    She had been holding them for so long; it was exhausting.

    “Mom, Auntie, I’m full too.”

    Eriri really didn’t have an appetite and ate until half-full.

    Living room.

    Kitagami Yoru was replying to Gabriel’s message.

    Gabriel is too immersed in playing games, forgetting to pay the water and electricity bills at the Convenience Store.

    Not wanting to go out at night, he thought of borrowing some electricity from Kitagami Yoru’s place.

    He would definitely agree; the door wasn’t locked.

    Gabriel clutching a laptop, wearing thin and cool onesie pajamas, steps hurriedly with slippers on.

    “Meow meow?”

    San-san lifts his head from the couch where he was standing guard.

    “San-san, it’s me…”

    Gabriel with the laptop comes to a small sofa and strokes San-san’s round head.

    “You’ve gained so much weight, you’re as round as a ball now.”

    “Humans just love such creatures…”

    Gabriel eagerly opens the laptop only to find it’s not suitable here.

    Just?

    Shall we go to Kitagami Yoru’s bedroom?

    After all, the master said you can use anything freely.

    Gabriel clutching the laptop opens the room light and heads straight to Kitagami Yoru’s desk.

    “What is this?”

    A high-end, exquisite big notebook caught Gabriel’s attention.

    She curiously looks at it, thinking it’s not right to peek without opening, or Raiden General is fun.

    It seems like someone is preparing a cosplay club at school?

    Call Kitagawa…?

    Moving the notebook and Eriri’s sketchbook gently aside, Gabriel places the laptop on the desk and connects it to power.

    “Thump—”

    The books Gabriel moved should not have been mastered at a distance; they suddenly fall off the desk together.

    Helpless Gabriel has no choice but to stand up and bend over to pick them up.

    Eriri opened the high-end sketchbook filled with drawings…

    “Wow! What’s this?!”

    Gabriel just happened to see something embarrassing among them and let out a puzzled sigh.

    Keeping her hunched posture, Gabriel didn’t react shyly like other girls but looked at it carefully instead.

    After a while…

    Like a curious baby, Gabriel hugged the high-end sketchbook and gently flipped through its pages.

    She felt uncomfortable sitting on the chair and decided to lie down on Kitagami Yoru’s bed instead.

    With an insatiable thirst for knowledge, she simply turned to the first page and started appreciating from the beginning…

    Genshin Impact was temporarily set aside in her mind.

    … (continue)

    Eriri saw Kitagami Yoru chewing on a watermelon while playing with his phone and couldn’t help but get angry.

    She rolled her eyes in disdain and headed upstairs.

    “Eriri, don’t go yet.”

    Kitagami Yoru spat out the watermelon seeds with a paper towel.

    “What… what do you want to do?”

    Eriri turned around in panic, looking at Kitagami Yoru while also keeping an eye on the restaurant.

    Sawamura Sayuri and Kitagami Megumi were chatting happily, having finished a bottle of wine each.

    They opened another one.

    “Do you think this is a place for talking?”

    Kitagami Yoru threw the melon peel into the trash and took out another slice of watermelon.

    “I don’t want to talk to you…”

    Eriri is trying hard not to explode with her emotions.

    “Let’s go outside.”

    Kitagami Yoru stands up and bites into a watermelon.

    Hesitant, Eriri follows in discontent, making her way to the small garden outside.

    Inside the garden courtyard, there are solar-powered sensor lights.

    It absorbs sunlight during the day and automatically turns on the lighting at night when it’s insufficient.

    “Give me your contact information.”

    Kitagami Yoru holds a melon in one hand and pulls out her phone with the other.

    “Why…why do you want to give it to me?!”

    Eriri takes a step back, puzzled.

    In her own phone, she has saved contact information for several members of the Art Club that she’s close with, as well as her sister Izumi Sagiri’s contact.

    Not even Tomoya Aki is included.

    Who called Tomoya Aki not to speak up? Eriri herself can’t possibly open this mouth.

    “You keep delaying, I can only go and ask Kasumigaoka Utaha. After all, I have to prove the truth, right?”

    “When that time comes, I will make her call you or video chat with you.”

    Kitagami Yoru speaks in a calm manner.

    “Whatever…um…”

    Eriri seems to have known from the start that she couldn’t dodge this fate and has resigned herself to revealing her LINE app and contact information.

    “Isn’t that enough? Besides, do you have any conflict with Kasumigaoka Utaha?”

    Kitagami Yoru records it on her phone and casually asks.

    Eriri, the lady of this stature, can make Kasumigaoka Utaha so furious that she’s willing to take such a reckless revenge.

    “Really……it’s too abnormal.”

    “You’re going to regret it…..you idiot…..I’ll kill you!”

    “There’s nothing between us!”

    Eriri clenches her fists furiously, suddenly bursting into tears and lunging at Kitagami Yoru.

    Kitagami Yoru can’t read any emotion; he only sees a tangled anger.

    “Hmph.”

    The petite Eriri is so adorable, her body so soft when she casually moves around, that Kitagami Yoru has already tried to take advantage of it.

    A cold snort, then his large palm envelops Eriri’s delicate fist and pulls her into his embrace.

    “If you hit me again, thinking you can revenge on me later, just wait!”

    Kitagami Yoru threatens with a furious expression.

    This little golden retriever dog isn’t even self-inflicted?

    Is it strange to blame oneself?

    “You… let me go, open up!”

    Eriri struggles powerfully in Kitagami Yoru’s embrace.

    The two bodies stick together tightly.

    From a distance, an outsider would definitely think that this is a couple deeply in love, secretly affectionate.

    “Just get lost.”

    Kitagami Yoru looks down at the cute face before him, tears welling up in his eyes…

    It’s really pitiful.

    Absolutely no heartache, plus a thrill from bullying such an adorable high-and-mighty mixed-race loli princess.

    After saying that, I push her away with a flick of my hand.

    “She’s quite cute, but her brain is like a dog food…”

    “No… She’s just a dumb dog.”

    Kitagami Yoru continues to bully.

    “You’re the dog, and if I’m a dog too, I’ll bite you until rabies!”

    Eriri puffs up in anger.

    “Eriri, don’t think about suicide…”

    “If you kill yourself, we can’t be together forever, right? What about your dog video?”

    Kitagami Yoru waves his phone.

    “I won’t do that, damn it. Stay away from me in the future.”

    “I don’t want to see you ever again!”

    Eriri’s eyes blaze with fury as she kicks vigorously.

    “Do you think I want to keep arguing with you?”

    Kitagami Yoru shrugs carelessly.

    “Get lost!”

    Eriri runs away after throwing a parting shot.

    Kitagami Yoru doesn’t bother to stop her, this dumb dog, huh……

    After wandering around for a bit outside, Kitagami Yoru returns.

    It’s probably around 8 o’clock at night.

    Kitagami Megumi, who can’t hold her liquor, was hoisted up by Sawamura Sayuri, who also had a bit of a buzz on.

    “Kitagami-kun, come help Auntie, she’s drunk too.”

    Sawamura Sayuri called out.

    Without needing to be told, Kitagami Yoru got up and went over.

    “You’re that drunk? How are you going home?”

    Kitagami Yoru supported his mother’s arm.

    “Sleep…sleep…..ugh…..”

    Kitagami Megumi barely lifted her head, just as she opened her mouth, her stomach churned.

    “Help your mom to the bathroom to throw up.”

    “The car won’t start anyway, there are plenty of rooms here, you should stay and take care of your mother too.”

    Sawamura Sayuri turned to Kitagami Yoru and said.

    “I can do it. I’ll just stay here, won’t that be a bother?”

    Kitagami Yoru supported Kitagami Megumi and walked to the bathroom.

    “No no, you’re just a kid, there’s plenty of room in the rooms.”

    “I’ll arrange for a driver later. Tomorrow morning I’ll send you and Eriri together to Shuchiin Academy.”

    Sawamura Sayuri smiled carelessly.

    In the bathroom, Kitagami Yoru supported his mother as she vomited for quite some time.

    The mother felt a bit better and rested on the toilet.

    “Kasan, you drank too much.”

    Kitagami Yoru groaned.

    “Happy…..”

    Megumi Kitagami squints her eyes, looking at her son.

    Healthy body, the son turned into a handsome guy, she’s overjoyed and drinks too much.

    Later, Sawamura Sayuri also comes with tipsy, bringing two cups of antidote tea.

    She drinks one cup herself, and gives another to Megumi Kitagami.

    The two collaborate, take good care of Megumi Kitagami, and send him to sleep in the guest room.

    Kitagami Yoru actively goes to help Sawamura Sayuri clean up the mess in the restaurant.

    It’s called a mess, but there are still plenty of food left.

    They put it outside; all common people, an ordinary family can’t afford such high-grade ingredients even once a year.

    “Thank you, Kitagami-kun.”

    Sawamura Sayuri packs the kitchen waste.

    “Not at all, Sawamura Auntie, where is your husband at home?”

    Kitagami Yoru casually asks.

    “He’s busy with work and often doesn’t come back home.”

    Sawamura Sayuri answers without thinking.

    After all, the son of a good friend, looking exceptionally handsome, polite, aware of parents’ worries……

    What could be any bad intentions?

    Talking about her own husband, Sawamura Sayuri sighs faintly.

    “Kitagami-kun, how is Eriri in school like?”

    Not just a mother and wife, Sawamura Sayuri later asks about Eriri’s situation.

    “That… I’ve only just met Sawamura-san, so I don’t really know either…”

    Kitagami Yoru smiled awkwardly, hiding it well.

    “What about at school? Is Eriri from my family?”

    Sawamura Sayuri continued to ask.

    “I’m not really sure, but she’s cute and very popular, right?”

    Kitagami Yoru felt strange inside and didn’t want to continue this topic.

    “So what about Kitagami? What do you think of Eriri?”

    Sawamura Sayuri suddenly raised her head and asked.

    “Ah? What kind of opinion?”

    Kitagami Yoru was collecting the dishes.

    “Just what do you think about Eriri? I’m not opposed to Eriri dating, oh, and you look so pretty.”

    Sawamura Sayuri arched her eyebrows at Kitagami Yoru.

    “Ah? That’s your opinion?”

    Kitagami Yoru almost couldn’t keep up the expression.

    What’s wrong with that?

    Sawamura Sayuri just smiled, thinking Kitagami Yoru was blushing and didn’t continue.

    She arranged a guest room on the first floor for Kitagami Yoru.

    It’s still early.

    Sawamura Sayuri knocked on Eriri’s bedroom door upstairs, whispering: “Eriri? Are you sleeping?”

    “No.”

    Eriri’s voice came from inside.

    “Aunt Kitagami is drunk, I’ll be staying here overnight. You too, Mr. Kitagami, and tomorrow morning I will arrange for a driver to take you both to school.”

    “Don’t forget, there are outsiders at home.”

    Sawamura Sayuri reminds a word.

    Inside the bedroom.

    Eriri lies on the soft big bed, tightly hugging her head, and sits up with a stretch.

    Kitagami Yoru that bastard is going to spend the night at home?!

    How can this be?

    Eriri’s already on the verge of collapse, looks towards the wall.

    She really wants to just smash her head in.

    But Kitagami Yoru that bastard, even…

    “Hmph.”

    Eriri lets out a sigh of indignation without any force or emotion behind it.

    Turns over in bed and walks to lock the door, ensuring Kitagami Yoru won’t attack herself.

    “Click——“

    The door lock clicks crisply, Eriri’s eyes slide down a tear as she moves stiffly back to bed.

    Tomorrow is the last day.

    How should one even go about it?

    Is there nothing else to do but accept fate?

    ……..

    In the guest room.

    It’s still early, Kitagami Yoru is a bit unfamiliar with this feeling.

    Leaning on the pillow, boredly brushing my phone.

    Just casually sending a message to Sakurajima Mai, asking about the situation.

    How is your recovery going?

    She hasn’t replied yet, so Kitagami Yoru watches the news.

    Until ten o’clock at night, he yawns.

    In everyday life, he’s used to early sleep and rise.

    Leaving the guest room, taking a quick shower on the first floor.

    Such a luxurious villa mustn’t just have one bathroom and toilet.

    At this moment, Sakurajima Mai replies to the message.

    Everything is fine; it’s just that my body is very weak, completely lacking energy, and I occasionally cough.

    Said goodnight, Kitagami Yoru gets dressed and comes out.

    Singing softly to himself, he goes to the kitchen, familiarly opens the fridge, takes a bottle of water to drink.

    “Hmm……”

    A few seconds later, Eriri’s disapproving hum comes from behind.

    “Goodnight, Eriri-san.”

    Kitagami Yoru smiles warmly at Eriri.

    “You… get lost!”

    Knowing Sawamura Sayuri has already fallen asleep drunk, Eriri becomes much bolder.

    “It’s really strange; I ended up staying over at your house, or rather, it was your mother who brought it up.”

    Kitagami Yoru carefully looks at Eriri, mainly her eyes, like she’s about to cry again?

    “Don’t go thinking crazy things; I’ll tell you!”

    Eriri squinted her eyes and bit her lip as she spoke.

    “Your mom still asks me about you, how I feel. She supports my pursuit of you in a relationship.”

    Kitagami Yoru finished speaking and shut the fridge.

    “Slap!”

    “What? What are you even saying?”

    “Don’t even think about it, I’d rather be a dog than date you!”

    Eriri turned her nose up and said dismissively.

    Anyway…

    She now dares not show Kitagami Yoru a look of contempt or superiority, nor roll her eyes at him.

    Because the more shameful side of herself has already been exposed, she can’t face Kitagami Yoru like that anymore.

    “I don’t even like bedwetting Eriri.”

    Kitagami Yoru chuckled lightly and shook the bottle of water in his hand before turning back to the room.

    “Damn it! Damn it!”

    Eriri’s inner fear and shame tightened as she heard those words, pressing her soft thighs together.

    After returning to his room, Kitagami Yoru gradually fell asleep.

    ……

    The next day, Friday.

    At 6:45 AM, Kitagami Yoru’s biological clock starts working and wakes him up on time.

    “It’s still a bit of an adjustment.”

    After getting up, Kitagami Yoru was disoriented for a little while.

    He drank some water and left.

    No breakfast.

    Kitagami Megumi is very drunk, Sawamura Sayuri too, but the situation is a bit better.

    The next morning, people who were hungover basically couldn’t wake up.

    There are disposable toiletries in the guest room; Kitagami Yoru washed up and came to the kitchen.

    Preparing breakfast for four people.

    He isn’t the first time using this kitchen and fridge.

    Kitagami Yoru is very handy, took out a square bread loaf, which is toast bread.

    A row of eggs, the rest half a pack of bacon.

    Found butter and fast food vegetable salad…

    The fruits were washed…

    Eriri who was drowsily sleepy washed up, changed into Shuchiin Academy uniform, and came down from upstairs.

    Following the habit, as if forgetting there are other people at home, she just stood there and walked to the dining room to prepare breakfast.

    She looked at the table where breakfast for four was divided, it seemed strange, but her mind didn’t turn a corner.

    “Ha……”

    The seemingly silly Eriri opened her mouth and yawned, picked up the fork and knife to enjoy breakfast.

    Toast bread was lightly fried with butter and bacon fat by Kitagami Yoru, drizzled with melted cheese.

    Scrambled eggs were cooked half-finished, keeping it runny, placed on the toast bread.

    Eriri poked a hole in the egg with a fork, and the yolk mixed with melted cheese and high-grade oil-soaked bread…

    Just cut open and fed herself one piece!

    “Mm…..It’s delicious!”

    “Mom’s breakfast this morning was too delicious…..”

    Eriri felt her mouth watering and regained consciousness, feeling a bit better.

    The edges of the bread were specially toasted, giving off a great aroma and crispy texture, making it even more enjoyable to eat!

    Eriri quickly stuffed another piece into her empty stomach, her face showing happiness after tasting the deliciousness.

    She hadn’t eaten enough last night.

    “Oh? Good morning, Eriri.”

    After finishing in the restroom, Kitagami Yoru greeted Eriri with a calm face.

    “You…North North…”

    “Huh….Kitagami Yoru?!”

    Eriri’s small brain started working, letting out an exclamation.

    “How does it taste?”

    Kitagami Yoru naturally picked up a fork at the opposite side of Eriri.

    “Did you make breakfast?”

    Eriri exclaimed in surprise, staring at the Kitagami Yoru before her, who had a perfect face.

    “It was made by yourself during your dream.”

    Kitagami Yoru picked up a slice of bacon and chewed it.

    High-quality ingredients, simple cooking, delicious!

    “It’s disgusting, smells awful, so nauseating, wasting the ingredients!”

    Eriri immediately made a disgusted face at Kitagami Yoru and threw away the fork.

    “I’ll ask you one last time, do you want to go find Kasumigaoka Utaha yourself to clarify, or should I take you there, or shall I go myself?”

    “Don’t avoid it!”

    Eriri’s scolding is not painful nor soothing, Kitagami Yoru doesn’t need to pay attention to this little golden retriever, a dog that bites should be ignored.

    “Let’s go together…”

    Across the room, Kitagami Yoru suddenly brings up this issue.

    Eriri’s reaction is as if her soul has been plucked out by the grim reaper.

    “Hmm.”

    Kitagami Yoru slices a piece of toast and pops it into his mouth, savoring it seriously:

    “It’s not bad…”

    “It’s awful, wasting my family’s ingredients!”

    Eriri seems to want to pick a fight with Kitagami Yoru about anything.

    Not satisfied with throwing away the cutlery, she dumps the breakfast plate straight into the garbage can.

    She picks up a strawberry and bites down hard.

    It’s as if she’s biting not just the strawberry but Kitagami Yoru’s lifeline.

    But clearly, the strawberry is delicious.

    “Really strange…”

    Kitagami Yoru quietly eats his breakfast, looking at Eriri as if wishing for a car accident or being hit by a falling object, making Eriri choke on food.

    It’s miraculous…

    She spent the night at Eriri’s place and the next day engaged in unfriendly conversation with Eriri while having breakfast together.

    Eriri’s mother still supports her pursuing Eriri.

    It’s too unbelievable.

    She has two miraculous buffs.

    I need to thank Eriri right in front of me……

    “I wouldn’t do that, who wants to dress up as a maid and flirt with him wearing headpieces and tail accessories…..”

    “…in the style of a dog…”

    “Call him a fat pig!”

    Eriri keeps eating strawberries to fill her stomach, remembering the terrifying nightmare from before.

    Can I really do that?

    Is it so lowly to flirt with the disgusting fat pig Kitagami Yoru?

    Kitagami Yoru despises himself, kicks himself away, and ends up crying from sadness. It feels incredibly real!

    Absolutely impossible!

    “I won’t do that unless I turn into a dog, cut…….”

    Eriri forces herself not to think about this nightmare.

    After breakfast, Kitagami Yoru rests.

    Sawamura Sayuri’s arranged driver arrives.

    Eriri actually rarely lets the driver take her to school.

    The demands of the diplomat father are down-to-earth, not too special.

    Otherwise, Eriri doesn’t attend ordinary public schools like other kids. She experiences life as a normal person.

    It should be because Eriri doesn’t want to show off her privileged upbringing…

    “Mercedes S.”

    After sitting in, Kitagami Yoru mutters quietly.

    “Don’t touch me, get closer!”

    Eriri’s backpack is laid horizontally between two people, tightly pressed against one side of the window, and then she closes her eyes to sleep.

    “We can start now.”

    Kitagami Yoru speaks a word to the driver.

    The journey is smooth and uneventful.

    Kitagami Yoru hasn’t even glanced at Eriri once.

    On the contrary, Eriri occasionally opens her eyes to observe the demons around her.

    A luxury car slowly enters the residential area.

    It stops in front of Kitagami Yoru’s apartment building.

    “Please wait for a few minutes.”

    Kitagami Yoru politely tells the driver, who is rushing back to change clothes.

    On the stairs, they coincidentally meet Aoyama Nanami who has come down to throw away trash in the morning.

    In Japan, throwing away trash requires sorting and can only be done at specific times.

    “Kitagami-san, good morning, have you left?”

    Aoyama Nanami greets with a cheerful mood.

    “Good morning, yes, it seems like you’re resting well.”

    Kitagami Yoru smiles.

    “Mm……”

    “So can I go out to work tomorrow or the day after?”

    The girl is slightly embarrassed, but she holds back and tentatively asks again.

    In front of her stands a youth with an unparalleled face, who smiles at himself. Who could resist that?

    “Why should I ask you about such things?”

    “Ha ha… Of course, I can.”

    Kitagami Yoru exaggeratedly laughed and nodded.

    “It’s clear you asked for this…”

    Aoyama Nanami frowned slightly.

    “So, will you go out with me? Will you say yes?”

    “I’m saying this because in the future, there might be things that could hurt or negatively affect you. I want to tell you…”

    Kitagami Yoru joked since Aoyama Nanami seemed happy.

    After that, he waved his hand and hurriedly left.

    It’s not like I’m shy; let the driver wait for us to chat too long, right?

    Until Kitagami Yoru walked away, Aoyama Nanami covered her mouth with her hands and turned into a steam engine!

    It’s visible that her fair neck and beautiful cute face turned completely red!

    “Beibe… “

    “Is what Kitagami-san said true?”

    “No, no, no… He’s so handsome. I’m just an ordinary girl and very poor…”

    “He must be joking with me…”

    Aoyama Nanami’s mood was like a roller coaster.

    One second ago, it was at its peak.

    The next second, it plummeted down fast.

    The rumors in school still had an impact on her.

    I don’t have a sugar baby; I’m not a sugar baby!

    But he’s really poor, very short of money.

    A girl from Osaka running alone, without any support, relying on herself for everything.

    She attends Shuchiin Academy, a prestigious private school that mostly caters to the children of Japan’s upper class.

    The divide is stark and clear…

    The way members of the upper class view everything in the world is fundamentally different from ordinary people.

    If you believe in equal opportunities, hard work leading to wealth, then workers around the world are the richest existence.

    “Oh……..”

    Aoyama Nanami’s spirits plummet and she sighs as she leaves her apartment.

    As soon as she steps out, her gaze is drawn to the black Mercedes S parked below.

    “Is this the car Kitagami-san used when she came back?”

    Aoyama Nanami seems like a girl from a world that doesn’t know anything about cars, someone who is not well-off.

    She wouldn’t have any idea how much this car costs.

    But she can read the brand; her eyes aren’t blind.

    This Mercedes S belongs to Eriri’s family, usually occupied by diplomats or their wives, privacy is their basic requirement.

    Thick bulletproof glass, covered with black tinted film.

    You can’t see inside from the outside.

    But from inside, it’s very clear.

    Eriri glances over Aoyama Nanami once and completely doesn’t care about her.

    Until Aoyama Nanami picks up a bag of trash and leaves far away.

    Only then does Eriri remember, isn’t this Kitagami Yoru’s scandalous girlfriend?

    “Aoyama Nanami?!”

    “Are they living together?”

    Eriri suddenly got energized, then lightly furrowed her brows because she had discovered something terrible.

    Kitagami Yoru, are you really walking on two boats?

    Eriri remembered the petite girl with golden hair from behind.

    Not me!

    She doesn’t know the other’s name; they’ve only met twice, both times seeing her back.

    Once, it was yesterday at Shuchiin Academy’s entrance.

    Another time, a long time ago when Kitagami Yoru wasn’t as skinny yet.

    “She can’t take it; she’ll die, won’t she?”

    Thinking about this, Eriri’s mind went crooked and was shocked.

    But later on, she relaxed her brows.

    A long time ago, would anyone have liked the disgusting fat pig Kitagami Yoru?

    Eriri can’t be sure if Kitagami Yoru is indeed walking on two boats in secret.

    She imagined a fantastic idea to revenge Kitagami Yoru, making him extremely disgusted!

    For example, secretly taking photos as evidence and exposing his double-dealing affair.

    Let the girls deceived by Kitagami Yoru see through her true disgusting face!

    Indeed so, at that time, she only needs to toss the photo to cause a splash, no one will trace back to her.

    Because there’s no evidence!

    Even if Kitagami Yoru suspects her, he won’t find any evidence; he can’t possibly read minds or eavesdrop on her inner thoughts, right?

    Eriri gently bites her lower lip, feeling that this is a completely feasible method.

    Damn it, I’ll make that bastard Kitagami Yoru pay for what he did! I hate him!

    “But I haven’t even decided yet, huh……”

    “Let’s not think about that now….”

    Eriri blew her bangs.

    …….

    Kitagami Yoru returned home, found the lights were on.

    The living room and bedroom are the same.

    “Gabriel forgot to turn off the lights?”

    “No, she must have been staying overnight, right?”

    Kitagami Yoru saw Gabriel’s slippers at the entrance.

    “Gabriel….”

    He took big steps and called out Gabriel’s name.

    Upon entering the living room, through his own open bedroom door, he saw Gabriel sleeping very comfortably on the bed.

    “So she was actually staying here….”

    Kitagami Yoru quietly entered and did a sweep of the room.

    On the desk, his review materials and that high-end photo album were moved aside, making way for Gabriel’s laptop.

    Gabriel himself was lying on his small bed.

    Sleeping very comfortably, wearing a thin sleepwear.

    San-san curled up her body, like a black and brown ball of yarn, sleeping at the end of the bed.

    “Gabriel…..”

    Kitagami Yoru called out his name and gently pushed Gabriel’s shoulder.

    A lazy angel is deeply asleep.

    Unresponsive and even flips over, seemingly mocking Kitagami Yoru’s overconfidence.

    “Gabriel…..”

    Kitagami Yoru helplessly uses one hand to prop up Gabriel’s shoulder, trying to wake her up.

    After a few attempts.

    Gabriel finally opens her eyes groggily and yawns.

    “It’s time for school; don’t sleep anymore….”

    Kitagami Yoru reminds her.

    “It’s too early, I’m going to……sleep one…..”

    Gabriel slowly raises a finger without saying a word and lies down again.

    “That’s only up to fifteen minutes.”

    Kitagami Yoru sets the alarm clock on his bedside table, silently watching Gabriel shake her head.

    Adorable and cute, she doesn’t lose out to that golden retriee with two tails outside, just that her hair is messy and unkempt, which affects her cuteness.

    “Gabriel is still very cute…..”

    Kitagami Yoru changes into Shuchiin Academy’s uniform, picks up his backpack, and leaves.

    The door isn’t locked; he runs off.

    He doesn’t know that the Gabriel who discovered a new land yesterday night is interested and spent several hours.

    Flipping through Eriri’s sketchbook.

    There’s a slight shyness in her heart, more excitement and curiosity……

    And…

    It’s addictive!

    Humans love this?

    She doesn’t know, angels are the same.

    Finally, after playing Genshin Impact for a while, I couldn’t resist and fell asleep from drowsiness.

    Lucky, Kitagami Yoru packed the adult game under the bed, not letting Gabriel find out for now.

    The gaming-obsessed Gabriel can’t help but fall in love…

    What to do?

    It’s fine if they like it, just worry that they might not be satisfied with the game and want to try it themselves.

    Kitagami Yoru even forgot about these games, treating them as things to clean up and sell second-hand.

    Running downstairs, Kitagami Yoru opens the car door and sits inside.

    “Indeed, Kitagami-san’s family is quite wealthy…..”

    Aoyama Nanami returns from throwing away trash and silently watches.

    Compared to the wealthy Kitagami Yoru at Shuchiin Academy, it’s nothing, not even worth mentioning.

    It’s no use comparing with the big shots of Shuchiin Academy or ordinary people?

    Just countless people who need to look away!

    “And my sketchbook, he should not have thrown it away, right?”

    The car slowly starts up, and Eriri glances at Kitagami Yoru.

    If I can get my sketchbook back, that would be the best.

    At least, if Kitagami Yoru throws it away, I won’t stumble upon my secret one day.

    But for now, Eriri is relieved too.

    There’s no directional information left on the sketchbook; otherwise, Kitagami Yoru would have used it to mock and threaten me.

    Eriri now, there’s nothing to do about this little matter.

    In the afternoon, Kitagami Yoru will go find Kasumigaoka Utaha to clear things up.

    That damned woman, a rival, is about to master her own death trap.

    She has to admit it herself…

    If Kasumigaoka Utaha decides to go public…

    You’ll have no face left, you can’t stay in Japan.

    Don’t go public.

    Your results won’t be any better either.

    How I wish time could flow backwards…

    Near the school, Eriri asks to get off here.

    “I don’t want to go with you.”

    Opens the car door, Eriri mimics a mouth shape, speaking angrily.

    Kitagami Yoru directly ignores what comes out of that pink little mouth.

    “Asshole!”

    “Slap -“

    Eriri punches into the cotton, feeling a release.

    Closes the car door, Eriri walks a few meters and then slows down her pace.

    Ahead, there appears her familiar silhouette.

    Tomoya Aki!

    “Tomoya….”

    Eriri’s expression turned furious in an instant, then she disappeared.

    She had no idea how to deal with her childhood friend, the object of her secret admiration.

    And she was even more afraid that Tomoya Aki would find out she stole Kasumigaoka Utaha’s stockings and panty liners for a ridiculous act of revenge.

    There’s also…

    It’s the most heartbreaking, and the most painful….

    The black Mercedes S-Class slowly overtakes Eriri.

    Kitagami Yoru is sitting inside!

    “What is Tomoya doing right now?”

    Eriri’s gaze gradually drifts far away.

    At this moment, Tomoya Aki was thinking about her.

    The reason was that several classmates from Shuchiin Academy were discussing Kitagami Yoru’s affairs.

    “It’s been clarified, Kitagami Yoru admitted personally that he isn’t dating Aoyama Nanami; they just have a good relationship.”

    “Who did you hear that from?”

    “Someone in his class said it out loud?”

    “That’s probably false, he’s saying this to seem cool and maintain ambiguous relationships with a few girls.”

    “Cut it, those girls used to think he was disgusting; now they find him handsome……”

    “If I had his good looks… not… half as good-looking, I’d go after Yukinoshita Yukino, SawamuraEriri, Koyasu Tsubame, Kasumigaoka Utaha—those top-class beautiful girls!”

    “You guys shouldn’t say it; I think there’s a chance, darn it, that guy is too handsome…..”

    Tomoya Aki was alone behind them, pushing his glasses.

    Muttering to himself only he could hear: “I don’t know……”

    “After all, Eriri and Utaha-senpai won’t transfer their affections…..”

    Hanging on his smug smile, Tomoya Aki’s mood is quite good, enjoying this thrill.

    The car slows down.

    Thanking the driver, Kitagami Yoru gets off with a backpack and enters Shuchiin Academy.

    First floor.

    Shoe locker.

    Opening the locker, several pieces of paper slowly drift down.

    Kitagami Yoru’s first reaction in his head is that someone has come to scold him.

    But upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a LINE number?

    LINE is the most popular social communication software in Japan, hands down.

    “So this isn’t for a girl’s own use, huh?”

    Silence hangs on for quite some time before Kitagami Yoru jumps to this conclusion.

    After successfully losing weight.

    Skinny again, just like…

    There might be an unknown girl who stuffs her contact info into one’s shoe locker.

    Kitagami Yoru is slightly shocked but doesn’t have any ideas to add. He crumples the paper and puts it in his pocket.

    Still pretty funny, isn’t it?

    Changing shoes, Kitagami Yoru accidentally almost bumps into a female classmate.

    Following Kitagami Yoru’s character, he would definitely apologize proactively.

    “Sorry, I didn’t notice you. Did I scare you?”

    Revealing a faint smile, Kitagami Yoru tries to make his voice as gentle as possible.

    That girl is with me.

    When he apologized to the girls, my companion was also stunned.

    After Kitagami Yoru walked away, there were a few suppressed screams from the shoe locker.

    If later, Kitagami Yoru clears up that they are not thieves?

    Some girls who are hesitant because of this will probably go crazy and cling on like that.

    Early classes.

    Hiratsuka Shizuka is coming over to announce something.

    The 9th of September, the Respect for the Aged Day in Japan.

    Each grade and class will randomly select five students plus the Student Council to volunteer at Tokyo’s elderly care homes for a day.

    Volunteering has its benefits; it balances out your grades.

    Welcome everyone to enthusiastically sign up.

    Volunteering is best, non-volunteers rely on luck and random selection.

    “Can’t I be lucky sometimes?”

    “Did you pick me?”

    Kitagami Yoru just got Fujiwara Chika’s phone number from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

    Just as he looked up, the computer randomly picked itself.
