Chapter 112

Aoyama Nanami went to grab discounted vegetables and meat as usual.

"Shall we go together?"

Kitakami Yoru followed behind her.

"Sure."

Aoyama Nanami naturally agreed.

The two walked out of the apartment together and headed toward the nearest station.

"Come to think of it, Kitakami-kun is a bit thinner than when we first met..."

"I was so wrong to doubt him before..."

Aoyama Nanami secretly sized up Kitakami Yoru, recalling the past.

While a sense of guilt welled up in her heart, she also discovered that Kitakami Yoru had truly lost weight.

"By the way, Aoyama-san, do you think anyone would hire me for a part-time job with my appearance?"

Kitakami Yoru spoke out of the blue.

Aoyama Nanami turned her head upon hearing this; she was distracted and didn't pay much attention to her feet.

Her feet tripped over each other, and she fell directly forward.

Fortunately, Kitakami Yoru was quick-eyed and fast-handed, having been watching the girl beside him all along.

He quickly reached out to grab Aoyama Nanami's small hand, clutching it tightly in his own chubby hand, and pulled her center of gravity back.

"Scared... scared me to death..."

Aoyama Nanami looked down at the road and her feet with lingering fear.

"It's good that you're okay."

Kitakami Yoru said.

"Thank you, I was distracted just now, otherwise I would have fallen."

Aoyama Nanami breathed a sigh of relief and patted her small chest.

She had been helped by Kitakami-kun again.

At this moment, Kitakami Yoru let go of the girl's soft, boneless little hand.

With her hand suddenly empty, Aoyama Nanami pulled her hand back like a lightning bolt in shock and shyness, looking away in embarrassment.

Kitakami Yoru didn't notice anything unusual; he was thinking about other things.

A while later, they arrived at the station.

Aoyama Nanami finally remembered the main point and was somewhat conflicted about whether to reply to Kitakami Yoru.

Japan is a country that discriminates against fat people.

"Kitakami-kun is still very fat, it's very hard to find a job; no one will want him."

"How should I say it?"

"Fat people should be very strong, right?"

Aoyama Nanami racked her brains, thinking about how to answer Kitakami Yoru's question.

In order not to hurt Kitakami Yoru, Aoyama Nanami finally brushed it off and gave a reluctant response.

At the same time, she asked curiously.

"Kitakami-kun's family background is quite good, right? Do you need to work part-time?"

"There's something I want to buy, but it's very expensive. I can't just ask my mom and dad for money for everything, right?"

Kitakami Yoru answered indifferently with his hands behind his head.

This one sentence hit Aoyama Nanami's heart directly.

A sense of identification instantly filled her heart, overflowing.

Yes, her own family background was very ordinary.

Her dad stubbornly insisted she inherit the family doll shop and didn't support her dreams.

She also envied wealthy family backgrounds, especially living in a metropolis like Tokyo, which is full of material desires.

And she was a country girl.

Studying at the pyramid-class Shuchiin Academy, a student from the mixed-in crowd.

She had no friends in her class.

Because she needed to work very hard at part-time jobs, study, and practice voice acting, she had almost no free time to play.

The female classmates in her class were not in the same social class as her.

The things they talked about, the places they played, the lipstick they used, the clothes they wore.

They were all things she hadn't even dared to fantasize about, because she didn't dare!

In her first year, she was even mocked for her Kansai accent.

This made the current Aoyama Nanami very self-conscious about her accent.

Arriving at the supermarket.

Kitakami Yoru and Aoyama Nanami separated; one went to grab discounted meat, and the other went to grab discounted fresh vegetables.

"Saury... chicken wings..."

The two arrived in time.

There were still plenty of discounted items left.

After taking enough for two people, Kitakami Yoru bought some small items he needed, and checked out and left with Aoyama Nanami.

Naturally, they checked out separately.

On the way back, the evening sun was warm.

They chatted all the way, laughing and talking.

Back home, Kitakami Yoru fulfilled his promise and opened a can for San San.

He put his food in the refrigerator and went to take a shower.

A dozen minutes later.

Kitakami Yoru walked out shirtless, his hands constantly pulling at his pants.

It seems, he lost a bit of weight, and it got bigger again.

Really, it's tight and uncomfortable.

Without a specialized machine, the mashed potatoes couldn't achieve an incredibly smooth texture, but the taste was still on point.

After eating, Kitakami Yoru turned on the desk lamp and used the class notes that Yukinoshita Yukino had specially detailed for him to study the textbook.

These notes would probably wear out a few pens; Yukinoshita Yukino's personality really meant what she said, and she was quite rigorous and serious.

In the past, this was a very torturous time, but having gained a ten-fold return buff, a certain academic underachiever was simply enjoying it.

Why do many people like playing games?

Because in games, effort always yields a return, and you can afford a house of your own that you like in the game!

After adding half an hour, Kitakami Yoru finally turned off the desk lamp.

After resting for a while, he took out his yoga mat.

In one go!

Summer vacation will pass quickly, and he must cherish every day!

In the blink of an eye, it was Thursday.

Not counting today, there was only tomorrow left before the final exams.

Time was very tight!

During morning reading class that day, Hiratsuka Shizuka came over to announce something.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment, I have an announcement."

"Eyes on me, look over here, look over here, stop writing, there's no rush."

The beautiful, unmarried older sister teacher tapped the podium, and it instantly became quiet.

Kitakami Yoru thought Hiratsuka Shizuka was gentle, lovely, and kind-hearted, but that didn't mean others saw Hiratsuka Shizuka that way.

"Tomorrow, Friday afternoon, we'll have a half-day off. Everyone, rest well, the exams are the day after tomorrow."

"The exams are the same as before, conducted over four days, morning and afternoon. The exam room list will be posted in the school gazette tomorrow..."

"There are also notice boards, and it's on the school forum and official website, so make sure not to get it wrong."

"Everyone can look clearly, remember the time clearly, and make a note or set it as your phone's lock screen so you don't forget or get it mixed up."
