Chapter 22

20: Sigong Kaguya's treasure chest

A year ago, Shirogane Miyuki was Kitakami Yoru's seatmate.

Just like now, himself and Miura Yumiko.

Kitakami Yoru looked at Shirogane Miyuki on the stage and recalled the past.

He remembered very clearly that at the time, Shirogane Miyuki's appearance was considered above average, and his studies were good, but he was just a bit silly.

When school started, he took the initiative to greet those pure Xiuzhiyuan freshmen who had been promoted, only to be ignored many times.

He stood there foolishly, starting to doubt himself.

At the time, it made Kitakami Yoru feel a bit amused.

Later, Shirogane Miyuki tried other methods to integrate into the circle of those pure Xiuzhiyuan students, but without exception, he was beaten to a pulp.

Lunch break.

Shirogane Miyuki could only hide silently next to the trash can in the corner, gnawing on cheap lunch bread.

Don't ask Kitakami Yoru how he knew, because he was in an even more remote corner, watching Shirogane Miyuki the whole time.

Later, for some reason, Shirogane Miyuki joined the student council.

After a period of time, he inexplicably integrated into some small circles, and by the second semester, he started to become popular.

At the end of the third semester, he ran for student council vice president against Sigong Kaguya and miraculously succeeded.

In the history of Xiuzhiyuan, it was simply incredible.

Those pure Xiuzhiyuan students were all arrogant and very proud, and the vast majority looked down on commoner students from the bottom of their hearts.

Because in their eyes, commoner students were born as the bottom fodder of society, cattle, horses, leeks, and consumables.

Japan and the vast majority of countries are like this.

Kitakami Yoru's father, Kitakami Toyoya, was a practitioner in financial venture capital, no matter how you put it.

Influenced since childhood, he knew how terrifying those big capitals and top financial groups were, especially when it came to interests.

Or rather, they were very terrifying, treating human life like grass!

The higher the class, the more so.

"I wonder how Shirogane Miyuki gets along with that Sigong Kaguya?"

Kitakami Yoru thought of Sigong Kaguya again, his fists clenched tightly.

"It's really boring." Miura Yumiko beside him changed to a comfortable position and spoke.

"It is indeed quite boring." Kitakami Yoru echoed in his heart.

Not long after, the student council's speech finally ended.

People on the side stood up one after another, squeezing out like a swarm of bees.

Miura Yumiko sat in her seat, playing with her phone.

After there were fewer people, two female classmates—one with a bun hairstyle and one wearing glasses, both looking quite cute—came over, and they left together.

Kitakami Yoru stayed silently, deciding to leave after everyone else had left.

"Let's take San-san to the pet clinic in the afternoon." Kitakami Yoru boredly took out his phone and searched for pet clinics or hospitals near the apartment; if that didn't work, even a pet store would do.

Minato Ward is one of the most prosperous and wealthy wards in Tokyo.

Just by searching on his phone, he found a highly-rated pet clinic near the apartment.

Almost everyone had left, and Kitakami Yoru was about to get up and leave.

The next moment.

Just as he stood up, his gaze swept across the stage, and his body stiffened in place as if struck by lightning.

He couldn't move a single bit.

On the podium.

Shirogane Miyuki hadn't left but was talking to the student council members.

One was Fujiwara Chika, with pink hair and a black bow tied at her bangs.

This was also the person in school who was most not to be trifled with.

The other was Sigong Kaguya, whom Kitakami Yoru was thinking about!

But what made Kitakami Yoru unable to look away was not Sigong Kaguya herself.

It was that, on the other party's head, a treasure chest exactly the same as the one on Kasumigaoka Utaha's head had appeared!

The only difference was that the progress bar of the treasure chest on Sigong Kaguya's head was empty.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's had risen a little bit.

"Wh... why is there one on Sigong Kaguya's head too!" Kitakami Yoru sat down with a thud, his fat face squeezed together because of the shock.

"If you want to talk about the commonality with Kasumigaoka Utaha, it's that these two people are all enemies with me, and they are all bad women..."

"Could it be that a treasure chest that only I can see will appear on the heads of bad women?"

"Otherwise, Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei is very beautiful, and Fujiwara Chika is also equally cute, but there isn't one on their heads?"

With no one around, Kitakami Yoru muttered to himself habitually.

He was just fat, but not stupid; on the contrary, his brain was very flexible.

"But what about the progress bar of the treasure chest? Is it really the same as I imagined?"

"Is the way the progress bar increases by having close contact with the other party?"

Kitakami Yoru looked at the three student council members on the stage, and his back gradually began to feel cold—a chill!

Having close contact with Kasumigaoka Utaha, having close contact with Shinomiya Kaguya—wouldn't that cost him his life?

It wasn't until Shirogane Miyuki, Sigong Kaguya, and Fujiwara Chika left the stage that he came back to his senses.

He got up, weighed down by worries, and watched the three student council members leave from another place before withdrawing his gaze.

"By the way, doesn't that Sigong Kaguya like Shirogane Miyuki?"

Kitakami Yoru muttered while looking toward the exit.

Also, it's normal to like Shirogane Miyuki; after all, it's impossible to like him, right?

There was almost no one left near the auditorium.

Kitakami Yoru deliberately stayed to leave last, just wanting to make himself feel a bit easier and avoid any trouble finding him.

But just as he went out of the auditorium, three boys came out and blocked his way.

It looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

"Kitakami Yoru, right? Wait a second."

"What do you want?!" Kitakami Yoru immediately felt a surge of anger in his heart and looked at the three boys in front of him with displeasure.

Instinctively, he thought they were unhappy with him and were coming to take revenge, the people who had put out harsh words on the school forum.

Take revenge on him to get Kasumigaoka Utaha's gratitude?

Maybe he could win the beauty's heart?

Self-righteous women and men are all the same, really disgusting!

Kitakami Yoru muttered in disgust.

He compared his own physique with the other party's physique.

He felt a bit more settled in his heart.

"I must not make the first move; I can only be forced to fight back, otherwise there's a risk of being expelled!"

"No, no, no, don't misunderstand. We're not here to find trouble with you."

Unexpectedly, when the three boys saw Kitakami Yoru's reaction, they immediately waved their hands with a smile, their expressions even a bit ingratiating.

"Then what do you want?" Kitakami Yoru was slightly stunned, feeling surprised.

"It's just... that... Kasumigaoka Utaha's stockings and panties, do you still have any collection?"

Kitakami Yoru's expression immediately collapsed, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "I didn't steal them, and the things were taken back by Kasumigaoka Utaha. Don't come to me to buy them!"

After saying this, Kitakami Yoru stepped over from the side and walked away quickly.

"Hey, don't go yet, name your price..."

"Bastard, what are you pretending for? Even if they were taken back, you must have enjoyed them..."

The three boys shouted angrily.

In the shadows.

Hayasaka Ai, who was secretly following Kitakami Yoru, spat out her tender little tongue and spat in disgust.

"Some boys are really disgusting enough."
