Chapter 19

The most successful time, he lost over forty pounds, but unfortunately, he was still a big fatty.

Then, no matter what, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lose any more.

The feeling of being hungry every day was truly unbearable, and he gradually became self-abandoning, eventually gaining it all back.

Planks, gritting his teeth to hold on for two minutes.

Kitakami Yoru collapsed directly onto the floor, resting for a long time before getting up to tidy things up.

His weight loss plan was like this: complete dietary control, thirty minutes of cardio in the morning, and one hour of cardio/strength training in the evening.

Strength training is a must; otherwise, for someone like him who is all fat, if he loses weight without strength training, his skin will wrinkle and sag into a heap.

After the morning training ended, Kitakami Yoru took a shower and then prepared his breakfast.

A bowl of high-fiber oatmeal, low-fat milk, an egg, and a little fresh fruit.

After eating, he fed Sansan some chicken breast and gave the round, fat cat a good petting before leaving.

Kitakami Yoru planned to take this fat cat to the pet clinic for vaccinations and deworming if he had time in the afternoon.

After confirming the door was locked, Kitakami Yoru went to knock on his neighbor Gabriel's door to go to school together.

Since they lived relatively close to the school and only needed to pass two stations by train, the two of them were not in a hurry.

"The weather is really nice..."

On the train, Gabriel looked through the carriage window, feeling the warm sunlight spilling onto her.

Kitakami Yoru sat to the side, two fists' distance away from Gabriel, using his phone to check the Shuchiin campus website.

"I've been assigned to Year 2, Class C. The homeroom teacher is actually Hiratsuka Shizuka?" Kitakami Yoru was slightly surprised and secretly pleased.

He was as grateful to Hiratsuka Shizuka as he was hateful and disgusted by that unknown culprit, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Shinomiya Kaguya, and Kirisu Mafuyu.

Hiratsuka Shizuka not only helped him stop Kirisu Mafuyu, who wanted to call the police, but also defended him and spoke up for justice in the principal's office.

He was a person who knew how to repay kindness.

He would never forget Hiratsuka Shizuka's help, and if he had the chance, he would definitely repay her well.

Kitakami Yoru wondered to himself, what did Hiratsuka Shizuka lack, and what did she want?

"Gabriel, you're in Year 1, Class A."

Withdrawing his thoughts, Kitakami Yoru said to Gabriel.

"Thanks."

Gabriel nodded, curiously thinking to herself, "Class A, huh. I wonder what schools in the human world are like~"

The next second.

This angel, who came from Heaven and graduated from the Angel School with the best grades, felt the mood of Kitakami Yoru beside her suddenly drop, sinking to the bottom.

Turning her head to look, Gabriel discovered that Kitakami Yoru was staring at his phone, frowning deeply, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Kitakami Yoru's good mood for the day was gone.

Just as he had expected, in the school forum, many comments under various posts were talking about him stealing Kasumigaoka Utaha's stockings and panties.

"That... Kitakami-kun, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Gabriel asked weakly.

Hearing this, Kitakami Yoru looked silently at the cute girl beside him, hesitating in his heart.

If he told her, would she hate him, now that he had finally made a friend?

"A few days ago during the field trip, I was framed for stealing a girl's stockings and panties. The other party had no evidence, but no one believed me!"

"Now everyone in school is saying I'm the culprit!"

Gritting his teeth, Kitakami Yoru told Gabriel, while simultaneously watching her expression.

He never thought about lying; Gabriel would find out sooner or later, and he couldn't hide it at all.

"Then are you the culprit?" Gabriel asked while stretching.

"No!" Kitakami Yoru said decisively, a few pretty faces appearing in his mind, his expression showing a faint disgust.

"Then that's fine, isn't it?" Gabriel yawned nonchalantly.

As a dignified angel, she could easily destroy the world, so distinguishing the truthfulness of someone's words was too simple.

"However..."

Kitakami Yoru was slightly moved, but his tone changed as he said, "Gabriel, at school, just pretend you don't know me, otherwise it will cause trouble for you."

"Huh? It's fine, I don't care." Gabriel waved her hand, not taking it to heart at all, feeling that humans were sometimes really troublesome.

"..."

Kitakami Yoru didn't know what to say.

Just then, the train arrived at the station, and the two of them got off together.

The train station was very close to Shuchiin, only one street away.

Most of the pedestrians on the road were students from Shuchiin, students from several nearby schools, and some passersby.

After walking for a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the Shuchiin High School division.

The school buildings for different grades were different, so Kitakami Yoru naturally parted ways with Gabriel, each heading to their own classroom to report in.

Kitakami Yoru tried his best to avoid people.

But no matter what, it was unavoidable to be seen.

His business had already spread.

Almost everyone who brushed past him would stare at him intensely, and once they walked away, they would start whispering about him.

Arriving in front of Year 2, Class C, Kitakami Yoru poked his head in and found that there were no students in the classroom.

There was only Hiratsuka Shizuka, wearing a white lab coat and smoking by the window.

After reporting in and receiving the books, one could move around freely; no one would stay in the classroom.

They would return to the classroom when the opening ceremony started.

"Knock, knock..."

Kitakami Yoru knocked on the door and walked in, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Oh, so it's you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around, saw Kitakami Yoru, extinguished her cigarette, and returned to the podium.

"Teacher, thank you for before, thank you very much." Kitakami Yoru thanked her sincerely.

"Hmm, anyway, I'm your homeroom teacher this school year. If you want to thank me, just behave yourself, and by the way, study hard so you don't get expelled by the school."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't seem to care, nodding.

"Okay, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Kitakami Yoru nodded blankly, sizing up this intellectual, mature, beautiful teacher who was legendary for using violent means against students.

Subsequently, he hurriedly filled in his name, height, and weight data, which were needed for customizing the school uniform.

The high tuition fees were paid directly to the Shuchiin account via bank transfer.

After finishing everything, there was still some time before the opening ceremony, and Kitakami Yoru didn't want to stay in the classroom, so he left first.

As it happened, Eriri was a student in Year 2, Class B.

The classroom was not only on the same floor but also right next door.

19: Let's blow off some steam on the rooftop

With his head down, Kitakami Yoru walked quickly out of the classroom.

While passing the classroom next door, Eriri, who was chatting with a classmate, happened to see his figure.

"Eriri, what's wrong?" the female classmate asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Eriri had a preoccupied look on her face.

Leaving the school building, Kitakami Yoru looked around.

Shuchiin was clean, tidy, and filled with flowers, beautiful enough to be considered a manor garden.

But he had nowhere to go.

Sighing, Kitakami Yoru planned to buy a drink and find a secluded place to stay by himself.

There were vending machines in many places inside Shuchiin.

Soon, Kitakami Yoru found one.

A black-haired girl with twin tails tied with red ribbons, of whom only her profile could be seen, was squatting in front of the vending machine, seemingly troubled about choosing a product.

Someone was afraid of being misunderstood, so he didn't dare to get too close and silently retreated to the side, keeping a sufficient distance.

"Sansan, have you not decided yet?"

The companion of the black-haired girl with twin tails—Kitakami Yoru could only see her back, a head of peach-gold hair—asked the girl named "Sansan."
