Chapter 140

She walked out, and the doctor lady also walked out from behind.

Kitakami Yoru went to pay a small fee.

The pet industry in Japan started relatively early and had developed well; there was no monopoly, so the prices wouldn't be too outrageous.

Inside the operating room.

Yukinoshita Yukino would look at Kitakami Yoru from time to time, having put an Elizabethan collar on San-san to prevent it from struggling and accidentally hurting someone.

Kitakami Yoru kept talking about cat canned food to tempt San-san and distract it.

Yukinoshita Yukino had professional equipment here, and her technique was also very familiar.

It didn't take long to finish the wash.

"It's really cute, round, it's so rare."

Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but stroke San-san's fur while wiping it with a towel.

"Looks like my luck is good."

Kitakami Yoru scratched his hair; he should go get it cut when school starts.

It was too long and was starting to affect his vision.

The sound of the hairdryer started.

As a cat lover, Yukinoshita's work attitude was naturally meticulous in every detail.

"Do you come here to work every long vacation?"

Kitakami Yoru asked casually.

"Yes, there's nothing else to do, and I like cats."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded with a flat expression.

"Don't you go out to play?"

Kitakami Yoru muttered; it seemed he had never heard of Yukinoshita Yukino having friends come over.

Except for Yuigahama Yui.

However, friends are about quality, not quantity.

The muttering wasn't loud, but Yukinoshita Yukino heard it and didn't express anything.

Soon, the sound of the hairdryer stopped.

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the somewhat restless San-san in her arms, facing Kitakami Yoru.

"Could you please..."

Halfway through her sentence, Yukinoshita Yukino remembered a certain unpleasant event and said with a dark belly, "Could you please ask the peeping tom classmate to step out for a moment?"

"Please leave me some private space, thank you."

After the words fell, Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned as she looked at San-san.

"Yukinoshita-san, is it necessary to keep bringing up that matter?"

Kitakami Yoru swallowed speechlessly and continued, "You're going to rub against my San-san again, right?"

"No, please leave."

Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze was as sharp as a pointed arrow, directly thrown at Kitakami Yoru.

"Alright then..."

Kitakami Yoru had no choice but to walk out obediently.

The moment he left, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed like a different person.

Her expression was gentle and lovely, smiling softly, and she did many indescribable things to San-san.

A while later, Yukinoshita Yukino came out holding San-san to get its vaccinations and deworming.

When it was over.

She carried San-san all the way to the shop entrance.

"Then, since you like cats so much, why don't you raise one yourself?"

Kitakami Yoru asked curiously while opening the cat bag.

Yukinoshita Yukino just shook her head gently and didn't answer.

"Phew~"

Kitakami Yoru took off his baseball cap, ran his hand through his hair, and let out a sharp breath.

Yukinoshita Yukino, whose eyes were wandering, saw her ice-blue pupils suddenly shrink, and she opened her small mouth slightly.

At this moment, San-san crawled into the cat bag, and Kitakami Yoru bent down to zip it up.

As his hair fell back down, he returned to his original state.

"Alright, I'll let you eat the leftover cat canned food when we get home."

Kitakami Yoru held up the cat bag, blocking his eyes, and said to San-san inside.

Afterward, he carried it in his hand, glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, naturally assuming she was reluctant to part with San-san, and left with a wave.

Only after he had gone far away.

Did Yukinoshita Yukino recover from her dazed expression, and she furrowed her brows deeply.

"Myself?"

"Did I see it wrong?"

Doubting, the school's ice beauty muttered softly.

Just a moment ago, Yukinoshita Yukino's instinct as a female was telling her that Kitakami Yoru was so handsome!

It wasn't that she hadn't seen handsome guys; on the contrary, she had met quite a few.

But never had one given her this kind of feeling.

It was just a simple thought that Kitakami Yoru was really handsome!

Like, that wasn't the word for it.

It was like the joy of encountering something beautiful.

But more than that, Yukinoshita Yukino was suspicious, and at the same time felt a little shy and curious.

She suspected she had seen things.

However, Kitakami Yoru really had almost become a thin person.

"No, no..."

"I didn't see clearly..."

Standing under the sun, Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head gently, doubting herself, and with a hint of avoidance.

Because she had inexplicably found Kitakami Yoru too handsome and had lost her focus because of it—that was also embarrassing, right?

Yukinoshita Yukino, who had always been treated as an ice mountain at school and earned the title of Ice Beauty, felt shy seeing the handsome Kitakami Yoru—that's fake, right?

Would such an ice beauty act like this?

If Kitakami Yoru knew, even he wouldn't believe it.

"Achoo—"

Kitakami Yoru, walking on the road, sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Sigh, summer vacation is almost over and school is starting. In this last bit of time, can my body fat percentage drop?"

"I wonder if Eriri will be shocked when she sees me at school in my current state."

Recently, he had been alone with Yuigahama Kaori so often that it made Kitakami Yoru restless, frequently recalling how he had treated Eriri back then.

"Hehe~"

Suddenly thinking of Eriri, Kitakami Yoru even missed this cute loli who would roll her eyes and despise him for being arrogant beyond measure.

Her spirited, high-and-mighty way of giving orders really made one itch.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shinomiya Kaguya were also one more arrogant than the other.

Perhaps it was because there were too many simps chasing them, and having seen so many boys, their perspectives had gradually changed.

14: Easily piercing the lady's defenses

[Kato, do you want to go on a trip together in a while?]

[I've lost quite a bit of weight recently]

In mid-August, with less than two weeks left before school started, the Kanagawa travel voucher Kitakami Yoru had previously drawn was about to expire; it would be a waste not to use it.

After all, it was a luxurious three-day, two-night trip for two.

Would a fool not take advantage of a bargain?
