Chapter 131

Kitakami Yoru put on a baseball cap and went out to work at the café.

When he arrived at the café, the workers were laying tiles.

It was just a café, so it would probably be finished in two or three days.

"Kitakami-kun, I'll leave it to you. Please supervise the work well, remember not to let any mistakes happen, and you can lock up after the renovation workers leave."

Yuibigahama Kaho was wearing a long coat over her clothes, likely to prevent them from getting dirty.

It still couldn't hide her proud figure; instead, it created a contrast that made her even more charming.

"Understood."

Kitakami Yoru nodded; getting paid to sit around for an afternoon was a great deal.

"Here, this is the key."

Yuibigahama Kaho handed over a key.

Kitakami Yoru immediately reached out to take it.

"I'm counting on you."

Yuibigahama Kaho's mature and cute face carried a gentle smile.

After saying that, she didn't wait for Kitakami Yoru to react and stepped past him.

A gust of fragrant wind blew by...

A jade-like, fair little hand gently patted Kitakami Yoru on the shoulder.

This was an unintentional gesture from Yuibigahama Kaho, who was his elder.

Kitakami Yoru's body instinctively stood at attention, his muscles tensing up.

August 7th.

Kitakami Yoru was in the shower, rinsing his body after returning from his morning jog and completing his aerobic exercise.

Facing the full-length mirror, he used two fingers to stroke his slightly damp long hair.

"175."

This was his current weight, fresh and hot from just stepping on the scale.

"The further I go, the harder it gets to lose weight."

Kitakami Yoru muttered to himself, feeling a bit dissatisfied.

Of course, his own rate of weight loss.

Was incredibly fast.

From 300 jin, a big fatty who couldn't even keep his balance if he ran a little fast, to a small fatty near the slightly chubby line—how long had it taken?

If converted to weight gain, even a pig wouldn't gain weight as fast as Kitakami Yoru!

Yet he still wasn't satisfied.

"My face is still fat, the stubborn fat is too hard to get rid of, same with my waist and abdomen, and my thighs..."

Kitakami Yoru sighed gloomily, turned off the shower, and wiped the water droplets off his body.

He put on his clothes and walked out.

He went to the kitchen, wanting to get some fruit to eat.

The stock was already empty.

He might as well go out and buy something to eat.

Kitakami Yoru took some money and his phone.

He was only going out for a moment, so he didn't lock the door.

Kitakami Yoru walked downstairs while scrolling through news on his phone.

At the corner of the stairs, he ran into Aoyama Nanami.

"Morning, Aoyama-san, haven't seen you in a while."

Kitakami Yoru spoke first to greet her.

Although they lived in the same apartment building, one on the second floor and one on the fourth.

Their daily schedules were different, so it was impossible to meet every day.

"Morning, where are you going?"

"Also, Kitakami-kun, you've really lost so much weight, you're losing it so fast."

Aoyama Nanami wasn't in a hurry, looking at Kitakami Yoru, whose wet hair was draped down, covering most of his face.

The scene of the first time she met Kitakami Yoru surfaced in her mind.

"Kitakami-kun back then was really so fat~"

Aoyama Nanami thought secretly to herself, while recalling how Kitakami Yoru had helped her before and how she had misunderstood him.

The resulting guilt and the urge to make up for it hadn't disappeared.

It was just temporarily suppressed by Aoyama Nanami.

"I've been working hard to lose weight, after all, it's just getting harder and harder, the fat on my face is really hard to lose."

"My build still looks a bit chubby."

As he spoke, a drop of water slid down from his draped hair.

To give a simple example.

If a normal person's weight is 120 jin and they binge eat, rapidly gaining weight to 170 jin.

Then their fat is mainly concentrated on their waist and abdomen; their face won't change much, and there won't be much stubborn fat accumulated.

It doesn't have much impact on the attractiveness of their features.

However.

If a person's weight is 300 jin, their whole body is fat, with stubborn fat accumulated everywhere.

Not just the waist and abdomen.

So, even though Kitakami Yoru had lost a lot of weight, his situation was different from others.

One is slowly gaining weight to 170 jin, the other is losing weight to 170 jin.

A person's attractiveness mainly comes down to their facial features.

If the features are fat and the face is fleshy, can it look good?

Kitakami Yoru had lived for so many years and had never seen a fat handsome man or beautiful woman.

"One fat ruins everything" is a universal truth worldwide.

"It's fine, you're already very thin, you're almost not a fatty anymore."

Aoyama Nanami sized up Kitakami Yoru's build; he was only slightly chubbier than those pot-bellied middle-aged corporate slaves.

He was completely different from that exaggerated sumo physique he had before.

"Thanks."

Kitakami Yoru nodded gently, another drop of water sliding down his hair as he spoke.

"Tsk..."

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Kitakami Yoru lifted his hair and pushed it back on his head.

He stood right in front of Aoyama Nanami.

"Eh..."

Aoyama Nanami's attention hadn't been there, but when she saw Kitakami Yoru's face, she was stunned for a moment.

All her attention was now focused on Kitakami Yoru's face.

How should she put it?

He was still a little chubby, but one could already see his gradually defined, upright, and fair features.

Handsome, charming!

He was already a handsome guy!

Aoyama Nanami thought about it seriously; Kitakami Yoru, even with a slightly chubby face, was already better-looking than many boys in school.

"What's wrong?"

Kitakami Yoru asked curiously, seeing the beautiful girl in front of him suddenly lose focus.

"No... nothing..."

"I was just thinking about my voice acting exam and got distracted..."

Aoyama Nanami, who had strong self-esteem and was somewhat thin-skinned, would never admit that she got distracted because she saw that he had become handsome.
