Chapter 52

"Aren't you not listening to me either?"

"Alright, come with me to get some chalk and tools; I'm going to tutor you."

From 3:30 PM after school until about 5:00 PM.

Kitakami Yoru stayed alone with Yukinoshita Yukino in the Service Club, receiving her teacher-like guidance.

If this got out, he would probably be envied to death by all the boys.

To be forcibly tutored by the school's ice beauty—just thinking about it is erotic?

In fact.

After the tutoring ended, Kitakami Yoru stretched his sore arms and back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yukinoshita Yukino had started teaching him on the spot, just like a strict teacher.

Kitakami Yoru didn't dare to relax at all, listening carefully, answering questions, raising doubts, and being subjected to the beautiful girl's sharp-tongued attacks.

This also indirectly highlighted that Yukinoshita Yukino was truly very responsible.

"Thank you, Yukinoshita-san, I don't even know what to say..."

Packing his school bag, Kitakami Yoru expressed his gratitude to Yukinoshita Yukino again when he left.

"This is just Hiratsuka-sensei's request; since I've accepted it, I will do my best."

"Peeping tom-kun, don't let your imagination run wild."

Yukinoshita Yukino replied bluntly, keeping people at a distance.

She didn't even want to owe Kitakami Yoru any favors.

Kitakami Yoru smiled awkwardly and walked away, rubbing the back of his head.

The Service Club was on the top floor of the club complex building, and there was no restroom on this floor.

Kitakami Yoru came out after using the restroom on the floor below and walked past a club classroom when the people inside happened to push the door open and walk out.

He was fine and was relatively far away, but the three people on the other side were startled.

"Disgusting... fat otaku?"

"How could he appear here? So disgusting~"

"Eriri, let's walk faster~"

"Ew, gross~"

The three girls from the Art Club crowded around Eriri, speeding up their pace while casting disdainful looks at Kitakami Yoru.

The usually cold Eriri didn't give people a good look, but to fit in, she also looked down on Kitakami Yoru and rolled her pretty eyes...

The innocent Kitakami Yoru stood still silently, and only after they had walked far away did he start walking again.

This damn white-skinned mixed-race loli, he had never hurt her, yet she always pointed her nostrils at him and rolled her eyes?

Does she really like rolling her eyes that much?

Walking all the way with depression, his mood like the gloomy sky, Kitakami Yoru left Shuchiin all by himself.

He went straight to the station at the end of the commercial street and took the train home.

While waiting for the train at the platform, Kitakami Yoru ran into Yukinoshita Yukino again and greeted her.

"What a coincidence, going home?"

"No, I plan to go to the Metropolitan Police Department to report a peeping tom."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed as if resigned to her fate.

This answer made Kitakami Yoru obediently shut his mouth.

He had simply run into her and greeted her; he didn't intend to strike up a conversation!

However, fortunately, Yukinoshita Yukino was a good person and didn't have a persecution complex like Kasumigaoka Utaha?

A while later, the train arrived.

At this time, the carriage was a bit crowded.

Kitakami Yoru's massive build played a role; he easily entered the carriage and occupied a spot by the door.

To be precise, three spots.

He sat very relaxed.

Yukinoshita Yukino waited until the people frantically rushing on and off the train were gone before entering the carriage.

She grabbed the handrail and glanced at Kitakami Yoru, standing silently.

At first, Kitakami Yoru didn't think much of it.

When the train started, he remembered—could Yukinoshita Yukino be blaming him for taking up the space?

He had no choice but to awkwardly shrink his body, revealing a half-person's empty space, and blocked his lap with his school bag, signaling to Yukinoshita Yukino.

After hesitating for a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino walked over and sat down beside Kitakami Yoru.

"In Japan, excessive obesity is against the law, Kitakami-kun."

Yukinoshita Yukino sat down holding her school bag and said calmly.

The next second, Kitakami Yoru's reaction surprised Yukinoshita Yukino very much.

First, he was silent, and then his whole spirit seemed to drop to the bottom in an instant.

It was like Zhu Bajie turning into Tang Seng, entering the Women's Kingdom, and coming out as beef jerky.

"I have a special reason that led to excessive obesity..."

A short sentence evoked countless pains that Kitakami Yoru had worked so hard to bury in his heart.

(I noticed earlier that some people said being fat leads to being looked down upon? I didn't pay attention, the comments were blocked for a while, and then quite a few popped up again)

(I want to say, in Japan, not only will you be looked down upon, but it's also an illegal act; you will be forced to lose weight and forced to pay an obesity tax. Of course, the mistake is definitely mine, the small author)

49: The Knot in the Heart

"A special reason?"

This answer was something Yukinoshita Yukino hadn't expected at all.

She pursed her lips, noticing that Kitakami Yoru was suddenly not right, and knew it was caused by her saying something she shouldn't have.

She had always thought that Kitakami Yoru's fat was simply caused by gluttony, laziness, and unwillingness to exercise.

She hadn't expected that there was another reason.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't press for details but coughed twice and racked her brain frantically.

She wanted to say something to Kitakami Yoru to distract him.

"Ahem... um... is your cat doing okay?"

"The one called San-san?"

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head to look at Kitakami Yoru's profile, her voice soft, fearing she would stimulate Kitakami Yoru.

However, as soon as she thought of the cat, she inexplicably felt a bit envious of the fat otaku in front of her.

Such good luck?

He could just pick up such a cute cat with such high looks.

Sometimes, when she met a stray cat and wanted to touch it, the stray cat would avoid her and run away.

"It's doing fine, it's gotten a bit fatter..."

"Yukinoshita, you really like cats, don't you?"

Kitakami Yoru nodded gently and replied.

"Yes, but the apartment I live in doesn't allow cats, which is a pity," Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief.

"I also live in an apartment? What kind of apartment do you live in? Is it that trashy?"

Kitakami Yoru thought to himself, having no intention of chatting with Yukinoshita Yukino.

A few minutes later, the train arrived at the station.

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up, and after politely saying goodbye, she got off the train.

"It seems she lives very close to school, just one station away."

Kitakami Yoru watched Yukinoshita Yukino walk off the carriage.

It was about 5:30 when Kitakami Yoru returned to the apartment.

Seeing Gabriel talking to a purple-haired girl in a Shuchiin uniform in front of her door, he greeted them.

"This is my classmate, Vignette."

"This is my neighbor and friend, Kitakami Yoru."
