I’ve fallen for Ms. Kitagami!
Tokyo’s early autumn morning, the air is cool and pleasant.
After Gabriel wakes up, she struggles to move her stiff neck.
Her pupils reflect Kitagami Yoru’s face as it gradually turns into a clean, white ceiling.
Her expression is shocked, and her mind is blank.
“I, Gabriel! And I’m lying in the same bed as Kitagami Yoru… Did we sleep together last night?!”
Upon realizing this, Gabriel doesn’t dare to breathe.
She glances at Kitagami Yoru with her peripheral vision and mutters to herself.
And her position is still quite strange.
Kitagami Yoru lies on her side, pressing one of her legs down.
One hand is carelessly slouched, while the other holds herself like a baby.
“No, that’s not right.”
“This doesn’t feel right at all!”
Gabriel tries to pull Kitagami Yoru’s leg away to press her down, but she isn’t very successful.
Although she may not understand the complexities of male-female relationships, she still knows that it’s improper for a woman to sleep with another in the same bed.
“It’s not possible… I can’t get her leg away… It’s too heavy….”
Gabriel has tried several times but hasn’t succeeded, and her face grows increasingly strange and anxious.
A few days ago, Gabriel wouldn’t have reacted this strongly; she might have just woken Kitagami Yoru up directly.
But after looking at the content in Eriri’s sketchbook, Gabriel isn’t able to sit comfortably anymore.
She fears that Kitagami Yoru might suddenly wake up.
If she does, she’ll be embarrassed beyond belief.
“I remember….”
Gabriel is staring at Kitagami Yoru’s face, recalling last night’s events.
I’ve had dinner, played with San-san for a while, and suddenly felt like I was about to fall asleep on the sofa.
In the middle of the night, Yoru went to the bathroom and fell asleep in a daze.
The apartment is decorated pretty similarly.
“So, um…”
Gabriel’s delicate little mouth slightly opened as she remembered something.
Last night during the latter part of Yoru/night.
I didn’t react when I went to the bathroom earlier, and treated Kitagami Yoru’s house as my own.
Feeling the darkness, she directly crawled into Kitagami Yoru’s bed.
“Sleep well…”
“I’ll use a bit more force; that should be fine, right?”
Gabriel looked back at Kitagami Yoru.
Just then, Kitagami Yoru flipped over and assumed a lying position.
Holding the small and cute Gabriel in her arms, she sat on top of her own body.
Gabriel thought Kitagami Yoru had suddenly woken up and almost made a sound.
After taking a deep breath, she grabbed her messy hair and relaxed.
Finally, she felt relieved.
But why did I sleep so comfortably last night?
Sitting on Yoru’s small stomach, Gabriel slowly moved her body.
It was fine if she didn’t move.
At this time, Kitagami Yoru was almost ready to get up.
In his shallow sleep, he suddenly disappeared because of the pressure and gravitational force transmitted through his body.
Instead, it became stimulating for his brain.
Kitagami Yoru opened his eyes and instinctively sat up, looking at his small stomach.
Gabriel’s stiff leg moved over Kitagami Yoru’s head, scaring her.
“Ha!”
The entire person jumped up, with her white and tender feet looking a bit dazed on Kitagami Yoru’s face as she simply stomped past him.
The force wasn’t too strong.
Soft footsteps, firmly holding down Kitagami Yoru’s nose and mouth, along with half of his face.
“Ungh…ungh…”
Completely unresponsive, Kitagami Yoru let out a series of whimpers and instinctively grabbed at Gabriel’s foot.
“What the bloody hell? Why are you stomping on your own face?”
Gabriel reacted, pushing herself up with her hands on the bed, trying to stand quickly.
But at that moment, Kitagami Yoru’s hand caught hers.
Delicate and smooth.
His fingers pressed into the sensitive, ticklish soles of her feet.
That itching sensation surged over Gabriel’s entire body in an instant, with her tender toes tensing briefly before relaxing again.
Kitagami Yoru pushed her forcefully, shoving Gabriel’s foot to the side and then sitting up.
Gasping heavily, he looked at Gabriel and asked in a shocked tone: “Gabriel, why are you on my bed?”
“Just…hmm.”
Kitagami Yoru’s gaze again drew Gabriel’s soft, white feet into his line of sight.
Still using her foot to stomp on her own face?
Soft and warm…
She was still sitting on her small stomach.
This early in the morning, she can’t handle it!
“I…don’t know…”
“I slept restlessly last night; I wasn’t intentionally trying to…”
Gabriel sat at the edge of the bed, her face slightly flushed.
It was either from being too excited or because she had let Kitagami Yoru attack her sensitive foot.
“You didn’t come back last night, did you?”
Kitagami Yoru recalled and said.
“Umm… I’m really sorry…”
Gabriel nodded cute-ly, observing Kitagami Yoru’s expression.
“Oh no!”
“It’s fine, just scared me a bit this morning.”
Kitagami Yoru forced himself to look away, casually waving his hand.
If he were any more mischievous, he’d probably want Gabriel to wake him up every day.
Best not to think about it too much.
“Ha~”
Gabriel nodded and yawned.
“Want to stay here for breakfast?”
Kitagami Yoru stabilized his emotions and spoke calmly.
“Yes.”
Gabriel nodded heavily.
“Let’s wash up first, and remember—don’t disappear on me, Gabriel.”
Kitagami Yoru prepared to flip onto the bed but saw the disheveled state of the cute girl in front of him, prompting a reminder.
Gabriel looked down at it casually and let out an “oh” sound.
Leaving the room, Kitagami Yoru glanced back at Gabriel before going to wash up.
Brushing his teeth, washing his face.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he had lost a lot of weight.
He lightly tapped his cheek and assessed by turning his head left and right.
Gabriel then walked out of the room, called out, and went back to wash up.
“Next, reduce fat while increasing muscle.”
Wipe your face with a dry towel, Kitagami Yoru returns to the room, unfolds her yoga mat, and starts exercising as usual.
After a few days of aerobic training, she will redefine her workout plan in a while.
About half an hour later.
Gabriel is wearing the Shuchiin Academy uniform and carrying a backpack as she approaches.
Kitagami Yoru has just finished breakfast and starts eating.
“Gabriel, you have some time left. Shouldn’t you do something about your hair?”
After drinking a mouthful of milk, Kitagami Yoru asks casually.
“No….”
The lazy Gabriel lightly shakes her head.
It’s Gabriel’s choice; Kitagami Yoru doesn’t want to interfere too much.
Looking at the current Gabriel, she can’t help but remember this morning when she kicked herself out of bed.
“Want to try finding a girlfriend? Should I give it a shot?”
A thought appears in Kitagami Yoru’s mind.
As a former shut-in fatty who got kicked out by her parents, now being single and healthy is normal, right?
“But….”
Kitagami Yoru sighs again, pushing this thought aside in her mind.
The only people she can approach are the female classmates at Shuchiin Academy.
Those girls probably looked down on her when she was still a shut-in fatty and kicked out by her parents.
Now, she feels awkward about approaching them herself.
It’s like eating a fly—she feels queasy.
Friends say….
It’s getting too familiar….
And yet….
Kitagami Yoru thinks about the harem novels she likes to watch—eating from a bowl and staring into a pot.
I’m full.
Gabriel drank the last drop of milk, then wiped away the remnants from the corner of her mouth with a small tongue.
She immediately stood up and began washing dishes at the water basin after carrying the plate and cup.
Kitagami Yoru’s thoughts were interrupted, so she laughed carelessly, took a big bite of bread, and chewed it.
Eight o’clock.
Kitagami Yoru and Gabriel walked out from the end of the station on Commercial Street.
“Oh, right, Gabriel. I have something to share with you.”
Kitagami Yoru slapped her forehead, realizing that Eriri had already clarified this matter but forgot to tell everyone.
“What?”
In Gabriel’s mind, she calculated her living expenses and the savings she could make.
She planned to open-source cost-cutting measures and save whatever money was left for gacha.
“It’s about me stealing Kasumigaoka Utaha’s stockings and underwear.”
Kitagami Yoru smiled lightly, seeming in a good mood.
“What’s the matter?”
Gabriel displayed a look of confusion and suddenly realized that Kitagami Yoru was smiling, which she found quite attractive.
“You don’t know? I mentioned it before?!”
Kitagami Yoru looked surprised, slightly stunned.
Gabriel had forgotten about that?
“I don’t remember. I was thinking of something else. Congratulations.”
Gabriel smiled perfectly and adorably in response.
In that instant, Kitagami Yoru almost thought the previous Gabriel had returned.
Of course, she’s wonderful now too.
After walking several hundred steps.
Passing by the Angel Café, she glanced inside for a moment.
Business is still doing well, with the majority of customers being students from Shuchiin Academy.
“Yuigahama store manager……”
Kitagami Yoru sees a busy figure inside, and in that instant feels slightly restrained by instinct.
Quickly.
Kitagami Yoru and Gabriel end up at Aoyama Nanami’s bookshop, where Aoyama Nanami is organizing the display case.
Aoyama Nanami temporarily sets aside her work to laughingly greet them.
“Early, Gabriel.”
“Early….Kitagami Yoru-san…..”
Aoyama Nanami clearly saw Kitagami Yoru first but greeted Gabriel first.
“Early.”
Gabriel slows her pace slightly.
“Early, Nanami.”
Kitagami Yoru smiles and waves goodbye before leaving.
“The relationship between Kitagami-san and Gabriel is really nice……”
“They’ve known each other for a longer time than me.”
“Gabriel is still more precious to me.”
After they leave, Aoyama Nanami’s expression becomes slightly complex and troubled.
She realizes that she truly likes Kitagami-san, likes Kitagami Yoru!
Since that day, whenever she is alone, her hands are free.
Every time she rests, she somehow ends up thinking about Kitagami Yoru.
From a young age, Aoyama Nanami has never liked anyone of the opposite gender.
Yet she knows her own feelings: seeing Kitagami Yoru makes her nervous and shy, often thinking about him.
Is it love? Or something else?
But she isn’t particularly attractive herself.
Life is just a mess, and time feels like it’s been squeezed dry, leaving no water to be wrung out.
Working in the morning, going to school, taking a break midday to catch up on sleep, working again until evening…..
Day after day.
Still can’t stop.
Once you stop, you won’t be able to afford the high cost of voice acting classes.
…..
“Gabriel, I’m leaving.”
At the entrance of Shuchiin Academy, Kitagami Yoru and Gabriel part ways.
Walking near the Teaching Building.
Kasumigaoka Utaha calls, asking him to wait downstairs.
“Anything wrong?”
After Kitagami Yoru connects the call, he puts it on speaker.
“Where are you? Have you been to school?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s voice is cold over the phone.
“At school, near the Teaching Building, do you have something to report?”
Kitagami Yoru says quietly.
“Come to the Student Council.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha hangs up after saying that and proceeds to leave for the Student Council.
Kitagami Yoru turns around and heads toward the Student Council.
The Student Council is not far away.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, wearing black tights under a white, plump behind, sits on a bench, accentuating her curves.
Alluring legs in black tights are casually stretched as she crosses them, wearing small black leather shoes.
“I’ll say when I finish breakfast.”
After Kitagami Yoru approaches, Kasumigaoka Utaha is slowly chewing a blueberry muffin.
The morning reading needs to start.
Kitagami Yoru’s gaze briefly passes over Kasumigaoka Utaha’s breakfast.
In a Convenience Store, blueberry bread and a box of chocolate-flavored recovery milk are available for sale.
“How is this even similar to my taste…?”
Before Kitagami Yoru started dieting, he would have this same breakfast combination every Thursday morning.
Not long after.
After enjoying her breakfast, Kasumigaoka Utaha sits straight up, holding her phone in her hand and turning to look at Kitagami Yoru.
A flash of dissatisfaction and anger flickers in the crimson eyes, before she calmly says: “Give me your bank account number.”
“The account number? You want money from me?”
Kitagami Yoru’s attention is almost entirely focused on Kasumigaoka Utaha.
“Do you want it?”
With one hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha operates her phone to log into mobile banking, while the other hand touches her left cheek.
That slap leaves her breathless!
She’s been knocked out!
After taking the medication, it takes two full days for the swelling to subside and fully recover.
“Wait a minute.”
Kitagami Yoru didn’t hesitate to take the money.
She pulls out her phone, logs into mobile banking, and calls up all her card numbers.
Approaching Kasumigaoka Utaha, she hands over her phone.
“Let me see…621226….”
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s fingers fly across the screen with practiced speed, occasionally glancing up at the card number to ensure accuracy.
After about ten seconds.
She mouths the numbers once more to confirm them.
Entering her password and transferring the money.
“Alright.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha lightly waves her phone screen in front of Kitagami Yoru.
A long string of numbers, highly visible.
“Over a million?”
Kitagami Yoru slightly looks surprised.
His phone then rings with a notification.
A mysterious account has transferred fifty thousand to him.
Adding his original balance, it’s around ninety thousand.
Even Kasumigaoka Utaha’s small change isn’t enough.
“Fifty thousand for you. I won’t owe you anything from now on.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha collects her phone and stands up, saying淡淡地。
“Well, that’s a lot……”
Kitagami Yoru mutters in agreement.
“Hmph.”
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha lets out a satisfied little laugh, with a touch of mockery on her face.
“You’re not a student from the academy?”
Kitagami Yoru asks casually.
He hadn’t expected anything, but she answered his curiosity.
“I am, but that doesn’t mean I’m useless.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiles, clearly implying something.
Of course, it’s a woman～
She definitely still holds grudges.
“What’s the big deal?”
Kitagami Yoru rolls his eyes, admitting he isn’t as wealthy as Kasumigaoka Utaha.
So, you want to make money, and there are many ways to do it.
“Go to the Student Council and clarify things.”
Then, Kitagami Yoru spoke.
He and Kasumigaoka Utaha entered one after another, knocking on the door of the Student Council.
At the same time, the bell for the morning assembly rang.
“Who’s there?”
Inside the Student Council now, only Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya were present.
“It’s me, Fujiwara-san.”
Kitagami Yoru responded with a single word, pushing open the door and entering.
“Kitagami-san, do you have something to say?”
Fujiwara Chika set down her work, and Shinomiya Kaguya also looked over.
Upon seeing the visitor was Kitagami Yoru, a faint look of disgust flickered across her eyes before she quickly returned to normal.
She simply disliked Kitagami Yoru.
Then, Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped out from behind Kitagami Yoru, drawing the attention of Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya toward herself.
What a strange combination.
You know, Kitagami Yoru is the one who stole Kasumigaoka Utaha’s stockings and underwent, so these two couldn’t possibly be together.
Unless…
Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya exchanged a silent glance, both recalling what Kitagami Yoru had just said not long ago.
“It’s not…Kitagami-san?”
Fujiwara Chika, who truly felt happy for Kitagami Yoru, asked with a smile.
“Yes!”
Kitagami Yoru nodded heavily, his mouth curling into a faint smile as he looked toward Shinomiya Kaguya.
“So it’s true, not him?”
Shinomiya Kaguya maintained a composed expression, muttering to herself inwardly.
“Then again…”
Both her own judgment and Hayasaka Ai’s were completely off!
Who is the criminal?
And…
Because she always knew, she had wronged him, so he must be harboring resentment towards her.
“I’ll just say it straight: the real criminal has already confessed to me in private.”
“The criminal isn’t Kitagami Yoru.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly opened her mouth.
As she spoke, she sighed deeply inwardly.
She couldn’t bring herself to attack Eriri.
After that night, Kasumigaoka Utaha pondered for a long time before deciding to leave some room for maneuver between her and Eriri.
“Who is the criminal?”
Fujiwara Chika blinked curiously.
“It’s not convenient to say. I promised them confidentiality… Ugh.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a small sigh, looking at Kitagami Yoru.
All the evidence pointed towards that disgusting fat guy, but she never imagined he wasn’t the one!
Which led to a series of subsequent developments.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha realized she had ordered someone to follow her, she first suspected Kitagami Yoru.
The ones following Eriri were Eriri herself, but who was following her?
“By looks alone.”
Kitagami Yoru shot Kasumigaoka Utaha a disapproving glance and continued, saying, “Don’t forget this: you need to formally apologize to me in front of the entire school faculty.”
“I understand.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded calmly, doing things as they come.
“Hmm.”
Kitagami Yoru glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, seeming satisfied with her attitude of acknowledgment.
It made sense that after the slap, things had changed.
She had shattered his ego, forcing him to face his own arrogance.
Just like Eriri’s haughty demeanor, it was the same reasoning.
Now, seeing Kitagami Yoru, Eriri would rather walk on eggshells!
“Can you tell me if the culprit is male or female?”
Shinomiya Kaguya divided her attention, closely observing Kitagami Yoru’s expressions and reactions.
“It’s a girl, so Shinomiya-san can rest assured.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha is also female and completely understands Shinomiya Kaguya’s concerns.
“Kitagami-san, you can trust me. I’ll contact the school’s news club and print a notice to clear this up by noon.”
Fujiwara Chika then spoke to Kitagami Yoru.
“Thank you.”
Kitagami Yoru genuinely expressed his thanks.
Fujiwara Chika has helped him a lot. How should he repay her?
“Then, I’ll leave it to you….”
“And….”
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly at Shinomiya Kaguya and looked toward Kitagami Yoru.
From a young age, she had only been defeated by two boys, feeling the frustration.
One was Tomoya Aki, whom she harbored feelings for.
She managed to get over it.
The other was Kitagami Yoru, whose stunning face left her speechless after slapping him.
“Are you going to erase that?”
Kitagami Yoru interjected quickly.
“Well, this matter, we’ll settle it with one stroke.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha exerted her strength to respond.
“I can agree, but I will always despise you.”
Kitagami Yoru hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Heh… heh….”
“So, does that mean I’ll end up liking you?”
“I wouldn’t like someone like you.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth, equally unwilling.
After a moment of silence, she continued to mutter: “Disgusting creature, so pretty yet…”
“Why would someone bring a bunch of foot fetishes on a school trip?”
Even a little abnormality is fine.
But why… one book after another is just abnormal.
Enjoy being stepped on?
If I get the chance, I’ll crush you!
Kitagami Yoru now ignored Kasumigaoka Utaha and walked a few steps forward to sit on the Student Council’s sofa.
He wasn’t in a hurry for his morning reading.
“I’ll leave first.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha withdrew her gaze and left the Student Council without stopping.
“You’re not leaving, so why stay here?”
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately walked to Kitagami Yoru’s side and spoke coldly.
“Earlier, Shinomiya-san thought I was the murderer and forced me to drop out in the Principal’s Office. Shouldn’t you apologize now?”
Kitagami Yoru slightly opened his eyes, staring at Shinomiya Kaguya.
“I will make amends for that.”
Shinomiya Kaguya responded coldly.
Misunderstanding resolved, she has a much better opinion of Kitagami Yoru.
Not anymore a thief.
However, she still dislikes Kitagami Yoru.
Because he once said she didn’t have the ability to become Student Council Vice President.
This is the eldest lady of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya’s dragon vein!
Additionally, there were a few minor conflicts between her and Kitagami Yoru.
However, dislike or not, it doesn’t matter.
Inside, Shinomiya Kaguya isn’t rejecting the idea; on the contrary, she’s willing to offer compensation to settle things.
But asking Kitagami Yoru, who insulted her, to apologize directly is absolutely impossible!
As the eldest lady of a wealthy family, she has her pride and no one can force her to apologize to someone she dislikes.
“I don’t need Shinomiya-san’s compensation. I still hope Shinomiya-san could apologize to me like with Kasumigaoka Utaha.”
Kitagami Yoru’s frustrating retort.
What he can’t stand is the arrogance and prejudice inherent in these high-class individuals!
“Not possible!”
Shinomiya Kaguya speaks coldly, staring at the boy on the couch.
“Now?”
Kitagami Yoru furrows his brow.
“Kaguya-chan, Kitagami-san, you should talk this out properly…”
Fujiwara Chika sees her two friends and starts another argument as she speaks.
She quickly stops Shinomiya Kaguya but then hurriedly sits beside Kitagami Yoru, imploring him to refrain.
“I knew this would happen…”
After a temporary pause, Fujiwara Chika feels conflicted.
Regarding Shinomiya Kaguya’s personality—stubborn and hot-tempered—she knows it best.
“Kitagami-san, please stop for my sake…”
I’ll replace Kaguya-san and apologize. Is that okay?
Fujiwara Chika knows who is smart.
Kitagami Yoru heard this and wants to refuse, so don’t let Fujiwara Chika interfere with this matter.
Next second.
A cute girl with pink hair, her eyes wide in a charming way, is holding Kitagami Yoru’s hand and begins to request something.
“Fujiwara……”
Kitagami Yoru’s face turns awkward.
“Please agree with me, Kitagami-san. I’ll replace Kaguya-san and apologize…… on your behalf.”
Fujiwara Chika immediately tightly grips Kitagami Yoru’s hand and begs.
“Hmm… Ugh….”
Kitagami Yoru lets out a small sigh, then hesitates as he shakes his head.
Finally, he can’t twist his arm enough and lets it drop with a sigh.
“Good… Kaguya-san.”
Fujiwara Chika’s expression changes immediately, and she smiles as she looks up at Shinomiya Kaguya.
Shinomiya Kaguya sees her only friend being so intimate with someone she dislikes, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable inside.
It’s like a beloved toy that has been taken away by Kitagami Yoru.
“Kaguya-san……”
Fujiwara Chika becomes resolute, using a sugary-sweet tone to flirt.
“I’ll compensate him more.”
Shinomiya Kaguya struggles for a moment but eventually gives in to Fujiwara Chika’s suggestion.
“Good!”
Fujiwara Chika suddenly tightly hugs Kitagami Yoru’s arm, her beautiful smile spreading wide.
This is just the beginning. Her ultimate goal.
She wants her two good friends to eliminate their hatred and stop hating each other.
“I’ll leave.”
Kitagami Yoru pulled out his arm, continuing to stay here would mean nothing.
“Ah, goodbye.”
Fujiwara Chika smiled and responded.
Kitagami Yoru lightly nodded, then glanced at the cold-looking Shinomiya Kaguya before leaving the Student Council room.
“Fujiwara-san.”
After Kitagami Yoru left, Shinomiya Kaguya looked dissatisfied and spoke to Fujiwara Chika.
“Kaguya-chan, don’t get angry, okay….”
“Please, please… The amusement park at Kasumigaoka will reopen on the moon’s bottom. Should we invite the president and Kei-chanMoeha to go play together? How about that?”
Fujiwara Chika used her flattery tactic and added in her thoughts:
“I’ll secretly call Kitagami-san. I’ll design a plan where Kaguya-chan and he go play in the haunted house adventure. If we experience something scary together, our relationship will naturally become closer…. Hahahaha….”
This was a rough sketch of Fujiwara Chika’s method that she had thought about long ago.
After leaving the Student Council, Kitagami Yoru didn’t immediately return to the Classroom. Instead, he sat down on the bench where Kasumigaoka Utaha had once been.
He sent a greeting message to Sakurajima Mai.
Shinomiya Kaguya’s attitude really made him very dissatisfied.
Apologizing privately… Can’t even say it?
Just compensation, compensation… Still just money?
The bones inside, the arrogance in his heart, truly makes me feel sick!
It will make Kitagami Yoru hate him.
Those capitalists and oligarchs, they’re despicable!
What kind of divine being are you?
Am I not supposed to be more forgiving?
Just wanting an apology is enough.
A few minutes later.
Sakurajima Mai replied to the message.
She was still recovering from her illness, slowly convalescing.
After a severe illness, her physical stamina was severely weakened.
“Take good care of yourself; I can call you if needed.”
Kitagami Yoru replied to the message.
“Hmm….”
Sakurajima Mai pressed the send button on her phone, holding it close to her chest.
She wanted it so much—wanted Kitagami Yoru.
But she also longed for her own family.
“Mom……”
Sakurajima Mai looked up again, toward a beautiful woman who was in the office.
Her appearance was similar to hers by about five or six degrees of similarity.
Kasumigaoka Utaha had hidden Eriri’s identity; their relationship seemed quite complex.
Yoru only returned to the classroom after the morning assembly ended.
“Kasumigaoka Utaha kept silent about Eriri’s identity, and their relationship seems very complicated.”
As Yoru walked toward her classroom, she slowed her pace, wanting to check on Eriri’s condition.
Passing by, she saw Eriri’s stubborn golden retriever lying on the desk.
Staring at the LINE messages, Yoru thought:
“Kasumigaoka Utaha only scolded me a couple of times……”
“She didn’t expose my identity or threaten me….”
Eriri felt confused and surprised while also sensing Yoru’s presence, quickly sitting up.
Her heart was filled with fear… tension… anger… relief…
At the same time,
This was Aoyama Nanami’s first time returning to Shuchiin Academy after that incident.
The bell rang, and under the class leader’s guidance, a large group of students gathered around.
Someone is truly sincere in their apologies, while someone else just goes through the motions.
However, regardless of which type it is, Aoyama Nanami can only helplessly nod in response.
In the end, there’s a thick envelope containing over 100,000 yen in compensation on her hands.
Finally, Aoyama Nanami has no choice but to accept it.
Because she also can’t do anything about it, she decides to return every penny to her classmates.
“Half a month’s salary….”
“Can I really accept this?…..”
The kind and innocent Aoyama Nanami hesitates once more, glancing at the classmates inside the classroom again.
She stuffs the envelope containing 100,000 yen into her backpack.
Smiling confidently, she leans her elbows on the table and cups her face, unable to stop herself from thinking about Kitagami Yoru.
“No, no… I can’t let myself get distracted.”
“I need to stay focused…”
“Go wash your face and calm down.”
As soon as she has a moment to herself, Aoyama Nanami thinks of Kitagami Yoru, sometimes even staring off into space and laughing uncontrollably.
She quickly stands up and rushes to the restroom.
The cold water splashes on her face, helping her feel better.
“Hmmm.”
“I absolutely can’t afford to be distracted during class.”
