Chapter 66

"But... but..."

Kanda Sorata's expression was a tangle of conflict; he still hadn't left.

"Kanda-san, please leave my seat; I'm going to eat my breakfast."

"And I really don't like it when classmates look at me like this."

Aoyama Nanami chewed the rice in her mouth and said coldly.

A damp breeze, mixed with the scent of grass and flowers, blew in from outside the classroom.

It looked like it was going to rain today.

"Aoyama-san, I just don't understand."

"Someone like him getting close to you, he might have evil intentions; aren't you worried?"

Kanda Sorata was like a deflated balloon.

"Kitakami-san wouldn't be like that; he has other friends, and besides..."

As Aoyama Nanami was speaking, the morning reading bell rang, interrupting her.

"Hey, forget it, forget it. If you're concerned about me, then you really don't need to be, Kanda-san." Aoyama Nanami waved her hand, looking at the rice ball breakfast in her hand.

"He has other friends?"

"Aoyama-san, the things that disgusting fat nerd says..."

Kanda Sorata seemed to want to continue, wanting to say one more bad thing about Kitakami Yoru in front of Aoyama Nanami.

Aoyama Nanami immediately felt very uncomfortable.

Speaking ill of her friend and interfering in her private life again.

"Kanda-san, you'd better stop; the morning reading session has started."

Aoyama Nanami suppressed the urge to scold Kanda Sorata.

For her friends—the friends she had chosen—she could go through fire and water.

Not to mention a friend she felt deeply guilty toward.

"What are Kanda-san and Aoyama-san talking about?"

"I don't know, they seem to be arguing about something?"

"Why did they stop talking? Continue, I want to keep watching..."

"Wait until the disciplinary committee member comes to inspect the morning reading session; you'd better shut up and sit down quickly."

Hearing the discussions from all over the classroom, Aoyama Nanami hardened her face.

"Damn it!"

Kanda Sorata was a bit exasperated; he stomped his foot hard and walked back with a sullen face.

Aoyama Nanami was startled by this; her hand shook, and the rice ball almost fell. She muttered fearfully:

"So violent..."

Returning to his seat, Kanda Sorata slumped onto his desk, feeling very depressed.

Why did Aoyama Nanami believe a fat nerd and ignore his good intentions?

"No, Aoyama-san must have been deceived!"

"I have to go find Kitakami Yoru and ask him clearly!"

Kanda Sorata couldn't sit by and watch the girl he liked interact with a fat nerd.

Of course, whether he was a fat nerd or not didn't actually matter much.

Any man would feel uncomfortable if the girl he liked was with someone else.

With this thought, Kanda Sorata took action.

After the morning reading session ended, he didn't bother with Aoyama Nanami, but ran to the class where Kitakami Yoru was to take a look, hesitating.

Finally, he decided to find Kitakami Yoru alone after school.

All day, Kanda Sorata was in a bad mood, his mind filled with this matter.

As soon as school ended, he rushed downstairs to wait for Kitakami Yoru to come out.

At the end of the school day, Kitakami Yoru headed to the Service Club as usual.

Downstairs, changing shoes, heading straight to the club building.

Kanda Sorata followed behind, but at the crucial moment, he hesitated again.

Finally, he watched Kitakami Yoru walk into the club building.

"Damn it!"

Kanda Sorata clenched his fists in frustration and threw a punch into the air.

What kind of ideas could Kitakami Yoru have for getting close to Aoyama Nanami?

"No, I must let Aoyama-san see his true colors and expose his lies."

It could be said that from the very beginning, Kanda Sorata's subconscious had treated Kitakami Yoru as his romantic rival, thinking of Kitakami Yoru in the worst possible way.

He kept waiting under the club building, not even going to his own club, just wandering around below.

It looked like it was about to rain; the sky was dark and overcast with heavy clouds.

He still didn't leave.

At this time.

Inside the Service Club, the fat nerd Kitakami Yoru was receiving private tutoring from the ice beauty Yukinoshita, which would make every boy in the school envious, working hard at his studies.

"It's going to rain heavily; should we finish up early, Yukino-chan?"

Seeing that more than half the time had passed and there was nothing to do in the Service Club, Yuigahama Yui, worried about the rain, suggested leaving.

"Then you go ahead; I brought an umbrella."

Yukinoshita Yukino had long noticed the weather today.

Since the morning, the sky had been gloomy.

By noon, the wind had started to pick up slightly.

It was estimated there would be a storm, but it was unclear how long it would last or how heavy it would be.

"I brought an umbrella too."

Hearing this, Kitakami Yoru looked out the window; the sky had completely darkened.

Even though it was only four o'clock, the sky looked like it was six in the evening.

"Then let's continue; we'll test it next week." Yukinoshita Yukino resumed teaching.

Yuigahama Yui said goodbye to the two of them a moment later, left the club building, and went home.

Because of the impending rain, there weren't many people left in the school.

"Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Kanda Sorata narrowed his eyes, gazing at the thick dark clouds; a gust of wind blew up fallen leaves, making it chilly.

The air was very damp.

It was clearly about to rain.

He couldn't wait any longer and ran into the club building, wanting to find Kitakami Yoru.

61: There's more.

The Service Club's activity time ended right on schedule.

"I guess there aren't many people left in the school."

Kitakami Yoru said while packing his bag.

"Since that's the case, let's hurry."

Yukinoshita Yukino erased the lesson topic from the blackboard.

"By the way, how is your cat?"

Yukinoshita Yukino finished wiping the blackboard, put the eraser away, and asked seemingly casually.

"You mean San-san?"

"Yeah, she's doing well, she's gotten a bit fatter."

Kitakami Yoru pushed his chair in and stood up.

"Is... is that so?"
