Chapter 178

"Don't you feel disgusted when you're with him?"

Kanda Sorata's face turned red with urgency, and he spoke incoherently.

"Kanda Sorata, you jerk, get lost."

"Kitakami-san isn't disgusting at all; you're the one who's disgusting, you're the disgusting one!"

"On the contrary, I think he's quite a nice person... you're the one who's ugly!"

Aoyama Nanami's face puffed up and turned red, glaring fiercely at Kanda Sorata.

She argued and stood up for her friend, Kitakami Yoru, loudly.

She had really had enough and was furious.

She completely couldn't accept Kanda Sorata speaking ill of Kitakami Yoru and denying that he had pretended to be her boyfriend.

Seeming to want to continue scolding him back, she opened her mouth.

But it seemed that apart from "jerk," she couldn't come up with any other insults.

While they were arguing selflessly, the girls' small clique on the other side was exceptionally lively.

"No way, is Aoyama Nanami really friends with that Kitakami Yoru? Is she sick? Isn't it disgusting?"

"It seems Kanda-san saw her with Kitakami Yoru and went to care about her, only to be scolded face-to-face?"

"Would a normal person be with that dead fat otaku? Is there some hidden secret?"

"Could it be that Aoyama Nanami is doing compensated dating with Kitakami Yoru, and Kanda-san just happened to see it, so Aoyama Nanami used the excuse that she's friends with Kitakami Yoru?"

"Wow... no way? Compensated dating?"

"Aoyama-san does seem to be very short of money; I've always seen her working part-time before... could it really be compensated dating?"

The discussion among the girls reached the ears of the boys.

Adolescent boys don't use their brains to think when they are impulsive.

Especially when it's explosive news like a classmate doing compensated dating!

"Oh, I remember now; during the final exams, I saw Aoyama Nanami walking with Kitakami Yoru..."

"At the time, I thought they were just walking a bit close."

"No way, is she really doing compensated dating?"

"I heard Aoyama-san is from Osaka; people there are vain, and the women in Ikebukuro doing compensated dating are basically all from Kansai..."

"Is she really doing compensated dating? Is she that poor? She's receiving the tuition waiver subsidy from Shuchiin, right?"

"How can that fat pig even bring himself to do it? Isn't it disgusting? The object of the compensated dating is too ugly..."

At this very moment, the rumors about Aoyama Nanami doing compensated dating for Kitakami Yoru.

Within just a minute or two, swept through the entire classroom.

Only then did Aoyama Nanami come to her senses; her face gradually turned pale, and her expression became nervous and flustered.

How did her argument with Kanda Sorata suddenly turn into this?

Kitakami Yoru had actually anticipated this long ago.

At the beginning, when he met Gabriel, he had worried that people at school would see Gabriel walking with him and gossip about her in a bad way.

But Gabriel didn't care.

Unexpectedly, Kitakami Yoru's worry didn't come true for Gabriel, but instead fell on Aoyama Nanami.

Although they had been classmates for a semester, Aoyama Nanami, who lived a life of working part-time and going to school, was in the eyes of her classmates.

There wasn't much affection; instead, she was vaguely excluded.

Not fitting in.

In addition, this was an aristocratic school with clear class distinctions.

Tokyoites look down on people from Japan outside of Tokyo.

Even within Tokyo, there is a hierarchy of disdain!

Because she was a girl with excellent grades and good looks, no one would usually bully her.

Now it's different.

Aoyama Nanami seemed to have become a stray dog.

Now some people are just bored and stirring up trouble.

"Aoyama-san, I... you..."

Kanda Sorata found that the situation seemed to be out of his control.

How did it inexplicably turn into Aoyama Nanami doing compensated dating with Kitakami Yoru?

And, as he followed the students' words, he even developed this thought and idea, and his face became increasingly strange.

Many busybodies gathered around and saw Kanda Sorata's expression.

"Aoyama-san... you wouldn't... really go and do compensated dating with Kitakami Yoru..."

If the person he secretly liked was really doing compensated dating for money, Kanda Sorata would feel so frustrated he'd want to die.

"No... I didn't..."

"I didn't do compensated dating! I'm just friends with Kitakami-san..."

"What are you guys talking about?!"

Countless suspicious gazes were cast upon her, and the simple-minded Aoyama Nanami was filled with unease and panic.

The more she explained, the bigger the reaction.

In the eyes of the people here, it was all the more the truth!

If arguing loudly were useful, Kitakami Yoru wouldn't have faced near-expulsion back then.

"Ah? Could she really be doing compensated dating?"

"For money, at least pick a better object for compensated dating; won't she be crushed to death?"

"You guys stop talking, I'm disgusted to the point of vomiting; the face of that disgusting dead fat otaku..."

"Kanda-san, did you fall for a compensated dating girl?"

Basically all the students in the classroom gathered around.

They surrounded Aoyama Nanami in the middle, talking one after another, with a thick sense of disdain.

Kanda Sorata's mind was in a mess, and he took the opportunity to exit the crowd, his expression awkward and ugly.

Seeing his reaction, everyone was even more certain of the fact that Aoyama Nanami was doing compensated dating with Kitakami Yoru.

No one went to verify it; they purely and completely believed what someone else said, relying entirely on their own imagination...

"No... that's not it at all..."

"How did it turn into this?"

"You guys stop talking nonsense; I'm just friends with Kitakami-san, I'm not doing compensated dating..."

"You need evidence to speak... don't talk nonsense..."

"Besides, besides, I think Kitakami-san is very handsome, not ugly or disgusting at all..."

Aoyama Nanami's face completely lost its color, and she waved her hands, which had nowhere to rest, in a panic.

Actually, she was right!

Kitakami Yoru was really handsome, incredibly good-looking!

The key is that Kitakami Yoru was not at school right now, and these people hadn't seen Kitakami Yoru's slimmed-down image.

I estimate that if the girls present saw the slimmed-down Kitakami Yoru appear before their eyes...

Kitakami Yoru would only need to smile slightly, and they would all shyly lower their heads or scream loudly!

They would want to pounce on him directly...

But now...

Kitakami Yoru is not here.

The malicious words and gazes were like sharp arrows, piercing deeply into the simple and defenseless girl.

She had fallen out with her family, and in order to pursue her dream of being a voice actor, she had come to Tokyo alone to work hard for her dreams.

Aoyama Nanami, who lived an incredibly frugal life, occasionally had no money to eat, gritted her teeth and persisted, secretly cried in her bed in the middle of the night, and still maintained excellent academic grades.

The grievances she suffered, the hardships she endured, and the efforts she made were countless times more than her peers!

"Aha? Aoyama Nanami, have you gone crazy?"

"You actually said that disgusting dead fat otaku is handsome and nice?"

"It's over, it's over, a compensated dating girl is truly disgusting..."
