Chapter 55

Gabriel introduced them to each other.

"Hello, Vignette-kun," Kitakami Yoru just greeted her indifferently.

"Hello, Kitakami-senpai," Vignette heard this familiar name, looked at Kitakami Yoru secretly with some curiosity, and replied.

However, thinking that Gabriel was an angel and definitely wouldn't be friends with a bad person, she didn't dwell on it.

"Gabriel, did something happen?" Kitakami Yoru took out his key from his pocket and unlocked the door.

"No, I was in a hurry to get home and forgot to bring my things, so Vignette helped me deliver them," Gabriel smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

She was in a hurry to get home to play games and accidentally forgot to bring her schoolbag.

It really was something, to even forget a schoolbag.

"Then goodbye, see you tomorrow," Vignette also had to go back, so she waved her hand.

"Goodbye," Gabriel waved her hand, didn't close the door, and came to Kitakami Yoru.

"Kitakami-kun, do you have time this week to go out shopping with me?" Gabriel asked, her big eyes sparkling.

This weekend, Kitakami Yoru had an appointment with Kato Megumi.

But it was impossible to go out for two days in a row, so he agreed.

"Is Friday after school okay?" Gabriel added.

Although the game Kitakami Yoru lent her was very fun, it didn't have much replay value.

Gabriel wanted to try online games, like the recently very popular Genshin Impact.

Yeah, I want to play Genshin Impact!

"Gabriel, are you in a hurry? What do you want to buy?" Kitakami Yoru asked, puzzled, while changing his shoes.

"A computer."

Gabriel blurted out.

Rather than saying she was in a hurry, it was better to say she was expectant.

Kitakami Yoru shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He put on his slippers, closed the door, and walked in.

Arriving in the living room, Sansan was lying quietly on the sofa, batting at the air with its paws.

Hearing footsteps, it stood up immediately, staring with big eyes, as if welcoming Kitakami Yoru back.

Kitakami Yoru sat on the living room sofa, let out a long breath, his face looking a bit exhausted.

He turned on the TV, picked up the cat teaser on the table, smiled, stroked Sansan's round body, and waved the teaser!

"Meow~"

Sansan's eyes flickered, and it was immediately attracted!

The teaser was waved again.

"Meow meow~"

Sansan called out excitedly, waving its paws, wanting to catch the teaser.

Kitakami Yoru played with Sansan.

After a good while.

Sansan was still full of energy, but he was tired.

It wasn't early anymore.

He went to turn on the bathroom heater, boiled water, and went to the kitchen to make today's dinner.

As a result, there weren't many daily necessities left in the kitchen fridge, and it probably wouldn't last more than a few days.

"The weather is turning gloomy again, I'd better go out and buy some, so I don't have to order online if there's a heavy rain in a few days."

Kitakami Yoru wasn't wealthy, and he tried to save whatever he could, not daring to spend money lavishly.

Except for the expenses of going out with Kato Megumi.

The only unnecessary expense he could save was that can of cheap black coffee every noon.

The convenience store culture here in Japan could be said to be second to none.

Many workers eat all three meals of the day from convenience stores.

Because assembly-line bento boxes aren't that expensive, and it saves time and money compared to buying groceries and cooking yourself.

Since you can buy cheap bento boxes, the demand for cooking decreases.

Naturally, there are fewer places to buy groceries.

Convenience stores don't sell vegetables, and even some small supermarkets don't sell them; you have to go to medium-to-large supermarkets.

Kitakami Yoru had no choice but to walk to the station, take a train for one stop, and head to the nearest supermarket that sold vegetables and meat.

"Luck is not bad, they've started selling at a discount at this time."

Kitakami Yoru was carrying a shopping basket and saw a supermarket clerk putting discount labels on some bento boxes.

He quickened his pace and headed to the vegetable section.

During the weight-loss period, you can almost eat any kind of vegetable.

Kitakami Yoru liked to eat onions, lettuce, and potatoes.

He put two pounds of each into his basket and casually picked a few bunches of vegetables he hadn't eaten before, placing them in the basket.

The discount shelf was almost empty.

Picking and choosing casually, walking to an empty broccoli shelf, Kitakami Yoru bumped into Aoyama Nanami.

"Kitakami-kun." Aoyama Nanami saw Kitakami Yoru first and spoke subconsciously.

As her voice fell, she looked at the massive Kitakami Yoru in front of her, and the words Kanda Sorata had said to her at noon appeared in her mind again.

Approaching her with bad intentions, making her lower her guard, giving her things to eat, and one day drugging her.

Originally, Aoyama Nanami had struggled for a while and didn't intend to care.

But those words were like a steel nail driven into a wooden board; even if pulled out, there was still a mark.

And her heart was the wooden board.

"Aoyama-kun, are you also here to buy discounted vegetables?" Kitakami Yoru glanced at Aoyama Nanami's basket.

She seemed to have come late and only grabbed a bunch of broken broccoli.

Aoyama Nanami nodded absentmindedly.

"Discounted vegetables are basically gone, I have some here, do you want some?" Kitakami Yoru said politely.

"Huh?!"

"No... I don't want any, thank you..."

Aoyama Nanami paused in her heart and shook her head hurriedly, feeling extremely conflicted.

"Mmhmm."

Kitakami Yoru waved his hand and left.

After buying daily necessities, he bought two boxes of discounted clean sushi and went home for dinner.

After showering and eating dinner, Kitakami Yoru turned on the desk lamp and flipped through the notes Yukinoshita Yukino had lent him.

It seemed there was still the scent of a young girl.

If he took them out to sell, there would probably be quite a few boys willing to pay money, right?

Yukinoshita said that if he could meet the target for this one-week study plan, he would have hope of getting into the top thirty in the grade.

Time flew, and it was Friday.

50: Baking Cookies

Friday, afternoon club activity time.

Inside the Service Club.

Yukinoshita Yukino was holding a piece of chalk, explaining a math problem on the club's blackboard.

This math problem was content from the previous semester.

Logically speaking, it should be very easy for second-year students.

But Kitakami Yoru still needed Yukinoshita Yukino's detailed explanation and teaching to barely understand it.

Going home and reviewing it well was the only way to master it.

"Little Yukino is so strict, Kitakami-kun also looks very serious..."

In the corner to the side, Yuigahama Yui didn't dare to breathe loudly, not even playing with the phone in her hand, just watching Yukinoshita Yukino teaching.

"Did you understand?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked Kitakami Yoru in front of her. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
