Chapter 388

The girl silently counted down three seconds in her heart, reluctant to separate.

"Good luck with your voice acting exam."

After separating, Kitakami Yoru looked at Aoyama Nanami and encouraged her.

"I will do my best."

Aoyama Nanami was stunned, her mood instantly dropping.

"If you need someone to practice with, you can come find me."

This was the most important thing for Aoyama Nanami, and Kitakami Yoru was very happy to help.

"Goodbye."

Waving her hand, Aoyama Nanami's lingering gaze swept across Kitakami Yoru's face, and she turned to walk up the stairs.

The girl said goodbye to the person she liked, savored the lingering warmth of the hug, and stepped quickly up the stairs.

Taking out her keys in a bit of a rush, she tremblingly inserted them into the keyhole and gave a forceful twist.

With a "*click*" sound.

The moment the apartment door pushed open, Aoyama Nanami flashed inside quickly.

Inside, the lights weren't on, and it was pitch dark.

Aoyama Nanami wasn't in a hurry to turn on the lights in the dark, nor did she change her shoes, leaning against the door panel and breathing heavily.

Only until now.

Did she dare to let out the joy and shyness in her heart.

"I just... just hugged Kitakami-kun voluntarily..."

"*Huff*... Kitakami-kun smells so good! So good!"

"Too bold, too incredible..."

While rejoicing at her bold behavior just now, Aoyama Nanami smiled, and unconsciously placed her small hand in front of her nose.

Sniffing gently.

Attempting to smell a trace of Kitakami Yoru's scent lingering there...

"Is doing this not very good?"

Aoyama Nanami's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness.

She fumbled around, changed her shoes first, and then turned on the lights.

"If Kitakami-kun has a girlfriend..."

"And I still go to hug him, then this is absolutely not okay, right?"

But simple and kind thoughts emerged in Aoyama Nanami's heart.

Even though she was in her own home, Aoyama Nanami felt like a thief.

After a long time, she walked into the shower room.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she returned to the bedroom and began to complete her simple homework.

Practicing voice acting.

Time reached half-past ten.

Aoyama Nanami left only a desk lamp by the bed, hugged her cherished doll Torajiro, and crawled into the covers to sleep.

Closing her eyes, her mind was full of the image of the hug with Kitakami Yoru just now.

"Kitakami-kun... I'm... I'm sorry..."

"*Humph*... *humph*... *hmm*... Kitakami-kun..."

"I like you too much, I'll do anything to atone for my sins..."

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, ah...!"

Late at night.

Kitakami Yoru slept quietly holding Sansan, completely unaware that someone was missing him.

Morning.

At the usual time, the weather outside was nice, very suitable for staying in bed.

Thanks to the self-discipline Kitakami Yoru had cultivated while exercising, he got up without procrastination.

Putting on slippers, after stretching for ten minutes, he went to brush his teeth, wash his face, and freshen up.

Breakfast and lunch were still bento.

He arrived at school with Gabriel.

During the day, nothing happened.

During morning reading, Kitakami Yoru played on his phone, chatting with three girls at the same time.

"Good morning, Senior Sakurajima."

"Is that so? Gabriel is actually quite a shut-in, she likes playing games."

"Really? You've played this game too? You're a girl, right?"

Kitakami Yoru sent messages to Sakurajima Mai, Satania, and Kitagawa Marin in order.

Sakurajima Mai might still be sleeping and didn't reply.

As for the other two, they were classmates at the same school.

Kitakami Yoru was in morning reading, and they were too.

"I'm stuck on nightmare difficulty, I can't get the favorability rating up no matter what; that student council president is so hard to conquer."

Kitagawa Marin sent a message back, chatting with this stranger in her eyes about a 16+ dating game.

"There are many guides online, for example, sending 99 roses at once can trigger a hidden plot."

Kitakami Yoru recalled the plot he knew by heart and typed quickly.

The two were chatting about a 16+ dating game produced by a new studio two years ago, which became popular for its realism and the cute voices of the girls.

Once it hit the shelves, there was even a brief shortage of physical game cartridges, and scalpers were selling them for double the price!

"Really? But I don't want to look at the guide, I'm so conflicted."

"Why did you say it directly...!"

In the classroom.

Kitagawa Marin, the blonde gyaru, put down her phone and scratched her hair hard with her manicured nails, complaining.

"You must hate spoilers when watching movies or TV shows, right?"

Kitakami Yoru smiled.

"How did you know?"

Kitagawa Marin could be said to have obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard.

She only wanted to rely on her own strength to succeed in conquering it.

Looking at someone else's guide or cheating is like having a wife you married with a 300,000 yuan dowry and a car and house, only to find out she's second-hand.

Even, far worse than second-hand.

"Pay attention to exploring what the student council president said; you can try the student council room and her home."

Kitakami Yoru said all he could.

It counted as a reminder, without directly pointing out the method.

"Really?"

"What about communicating normally?"

Kitagawa Marin asked suspiciously.

"Currently, no one has successfully conquered the student council president without triggering the hidden plot."

"Girls like playing this too?"

Kitakami Yoru stretched and yawned.

"Does liking games have anything to do with me being a girl?"

"I say? You wouldn't happen to know me, would you?"

Kitagawa Marin hit the nail on the head; this was a girl's intuition.

"Don't know you."

Kitakami Yoru attached a playing-dumb emoji.

"Who have you been chatting with lately?"

Miura Yumiko couldn't help her curiosity and, taking advantage of Kitakami Yoru looking up, seized the opportunity to ask.
