Chapter 52

She planned to change to a different place to rent, as the soundproofing of the house she was currently living in was too poor.

Recently, the tenant next door had gotten a girlfriend, and it was so noisy every night that she couldn't sleep.

But her budget was limited, yet she wanted to rent a house closer to school to save on commute time.

"It's too hard to find a house that meets the requirements." Aoyama Nanami put another piece of the small cookie into her mouth.

The taste was very good, fragrant and crispy.

Sometimes, she didn't even have money to eat lunch.

"Aoyama-kun?"

Suddenly, someone came to Aoyama Nanami's desk.

"It's Kanda-kun, right, I'll pay you back."

Aoyama Nanami looked up and immediately remembered that she hadn't given Kanda Sorata the money yet.

She hurriedly took a few yen coins from her pocket and placed them on her desk.

"You can count them," Aoyama Nanami said, looking at Kanda Sorata.

"No... I already said it was my treat," Kanda Sorata shook his head with a smile; that wasn't his purpose.

Seeing Aoyama Nanami with Kitakami Yoru earlier had made him feel restless.

Why on earth would Aoyama Nanami get involved with a dead fat otaku?

Taking advantage of the time now, Kanda Sorata finally couldn't help but want to ask.

"I don't like owing people things," Aoyama Nanami shook her head firmly.

"Alright then, actually I came to ask you..."

"It's just, I saw you chatting with Kitakami Yoru earlier, did something happen?"

Kanda Sorata collected the coins and spoke with a hint of worry.

As his voice fell, the girl who was eating the small cookie was clearly stunned.

"Nothing happened, why are you asking this?" Aoyama Nanami asked, puzzled.

She certainly didn't know that Kanda Sorata had a hint of a crush on her.

"It's just that Kitakami Yoru is a dead fat otaku that everyone shouts to beat..."

"You were chatting with him, I was thinking, Aoyama-kun, are you..."

Kanda Sorata scratched his hair.

"That's not it, Kitakami-kun is actually quite nice," Aoyama Nanami waved her hand casually.

"Why would you say that?" Kanda Sorata pressed.

"Last week, when I was working part-time, I delivered an order to Kitakami-kun, and because it was raining, it was overtime."

"Kitakami Yoru-kun didn't give me a bad review, and even kindly lent me a raincoat and a towel."

"Right... this bag of small cookies was also a gift from him."

Aoyama Nanami held up the small cookies in her hand and said casually in a simplified way.

Unsolicited favors, if not treacherous, then thieving!

This was Kanda Sorata's first reaction in his heart, along with a hint of jealousy.

47: Tutoring Teacher, Yukinoshita

If it were someone else, Kanda Sorata definitely wouldn't have had such thoughts.

"Is there anything else?"

Aoyama Nanami drank some water and continued.

"Aoyama-kun, do you really trust that dead fat otaku just like that?" Kanda Sorata came back to his senses and continued.

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart; he just wanted to persuade Aoyama Nanami to stay away from Kitakami Yoru!

"Why would you say that?" Aoyama Nanami was stunned, completely not understanding Kanda Sorata's meaning.

"That Kitakami Yoru is a thief, disgusting and bold enough to steal a senpai's personal belongings, Aoyama-kun, don't you know?" Kanda Sorata asked back exaggeratedly.

"Ah... no..."

"That was just a private rumor, isn't it a bit bad for you to talk about him like that, Kanda-kun?"

Aoyama Nanami shook her head decisively.

"Why is the rumor not about someone else, but only him, and the school even punished him?"

Seeing Aoyama Nanami being somewhat stubborn, Kanda Sorata's tone became anxious.

Especially since Aoyama Nanami was actually blaming him in a flat tone for Kitakami Yoru's sake.

He had a crush on Aoyama Nanami!

Kanda Sorata couldn't accept it at all.

On the other hand, he didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Kitakami Yoru could be a good person.

Men understand men best.

There are quite a few perverted dead fat otaku on some forums, so what if he's a student?

In Japan, every year there are news stories about dead fat otaku molesting high school girls and middle school girls.

"This???"

Aoyama Nanami was confused by the question.

"Aoyama-kun, you have to know, Kitakami Yoru is just a disgusting dead fat otaku."

"He is bold enough to steal Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai's personal belongings, what else would he not dare to do?"

Kanda Sorata excitedly pressed his hands on the desk in front of him, his body language revealing his seriousness now.

"Maybe he has his eyes on you..."

"Giving... giving..."

Kanda Sorata looked at the small cookies in Aoyama Nanami's hand, his brain spinning fast.

"Giving you small cookies for no reason, maybe it's just to make you lower your guard."

"When you get used to the things he gives you, maybe one day he'll drug your food and knock you out!"

"You've seen the news about those girls living alone falling into the clutches of perverts, right?"

Kanda Sorata deliberately made the matter sound very exaggerated and serious, but it had factual basis, making people associate and believe it.

Such news really isn't that rare in Japan; it pops up occasionally.

Aoyama Nanami was frightened for a moment, and following Kanda Sorata's words, she imagined it, and it really seemed to be the case.

Recalling when she graduated from middle school and came to Tokyo to pursue her dreams.

She was all alone, for the first time, going on a long journey with a little money, and she was also very scared.

She had searched for many posts online about self-protection and how to protect herself from falling into others' traps.

"In short, Aoyama-kun, think about it carefully, stay away from Kitakami Yoru, just stay away from him."

"In case one day he really has bad intentions, you'll be in trouble."

Seeing that Aoyama Nanami's expression had gradually become somewhat conflicted, Kanda Sorata breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether he had a crush on Aoyama Nanami, he was genuinely thinking for her.

A dead fat otaku approaching a beautiful girl, one could imagine the plot of a doujinshi just thinking about it.

"Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Aoyama Nanami swallowed the cookie crumbs in her mouth, her expression suspicious and uncertain.

"Anyway, you aren't familiar with him, just stay away from him from now on, won't that be fine?" Kanda Sorata said indifferently.

"This..."

Aoyama Nanami opened her mouth and remained silent.

Just because of an inexplicable guess, she was doubting Kitakami-kun like this and deliberately avoiding him.

And now she was still eating the small cookies Kitakami-kun gave her while speculating about him without any evidence.

Isn't that very bad?

Aoyama Nanami stopped all the movements in her hands, strange colors constantly flashing in her eyes, and it was a good while before she replied: "It shouldn't be that bad, but I will be careful."

She said so with her mouth.

But in Aoyama Nanami's heart, she couldn't avoid starting to waver...

"If I'm not wrong next, maybe Kitakami Yoru will take the initiative to find you, and that will expose his purpose," Kanda Sorata sized up the beautiful girl in front of him.

The more he looked, the more beautiful he thought she was. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
