Chapter 73

"You..."

Eriri came back to her senses, looked at Kitakami Yoru in a panic, and then looked at the girls around her.

She didn't want others to know that she had borrowed an umbrella from Kitakami Yoru.

Borrowing an umbrella from a fat nerd, wasn't that too embarrassing?

Eriri, who had always strived to maintain a cold and perfect image at school, didn't even like it when Aki Tomoya, whom she liked, talked to her, let alone a notorious fat nerd!

After Kitakami Yoru finished speaking, he didn't open his mouth again, bit his lip, and stared fixedly at Eriri.

"What are you in such a hurry for? Isn't it just an umbrella? Leave first..."

Eriri pretended to be relaxed and unconcerned, waving her hand at Kitakami Yoru with disgust, just like driving away a fly.

She didn't know that Kitakami Yoru wasn't here to get the umbrella.

She just wanted Kitakami Yoru to leave quickly.

"Isn't it just an umbrella?!"

Kitakami Yoru's lungs were about to explode with anger; the blood vessels in his eyes burst, and his eyes were extremely bloodshot and red.

Because of this missing umbrella, he had suffered so much pain, and now his body was still running a fever!

It was terribly uncomfortable!

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Eriri raised her little chest, continued speaking, and glanced at her bag.

She had brought both the umbrella and the money.

It was just that, in front of the whole class, Eriri really couldn't bring herself to hand the money to this fat nerd in front of her.

She just couldn't...

"Do you know how I got home without an umbrella?"

Kitakami Yoru couldn't control himself with anger and reached out to grab Eriri.

Eriri, whose nerves were stretched tight, reacted quickly, dodged, and stood up.

The movement here was large, attracting everyone in Eriri's class.

"Strange, what happened?"

"Isn't that the fat nerd from the next class?"

"Why did he pull his hand back?"

"Is he harassing Eriri-san?"

Discussions came from all over the classroom.

Kitakami Yoru realized countless gazes were cast on him and pulled his hand back.

There were too many people!

"Eriri-san, why is he pestering you, and what's this about an umbrella?"

One of the girls chatting with Eriri asked curiously.

"No..."

"It's nothing, it's just an umbrella..."

Eriri secretly groaned in her heart; why hasn't this fat nerd left yet, what exactly is he trying to do?

However, on the surface, she disguised it very well; no one could tell.

Everyone also automatically ignored the umbrella.

Kitakami Yoru stood at the window, forcing himself to calm down.

He could feel his blood pressure spiking now, and his heart was about to break through his chest.

There were too many people; he would intercept Eriri after school when there were fewer people.

Seeing that the classmates were all showing unfriendly gazes toward Kitakami Yoru, Eriri's courage instantly grew, and she was afraid that the classmates would misunderstand that she had a relationship with Kitakami Yoru.

So she put on a stinky face and said with contempt: "Hey, hurry up and leave, don't get close to me, it's disgusting!"

Among them, there was also a bit of sincerity.

"Although I didn't come back, didn't the rain turn into a drizzle, or even a light sprinkle later?"

"Is it necessary to be like this?"

Eriri muttered secretly again, even blaming Kitakami Yoru for coming to find her.

She was afraid of losing face because of this.

"Hey, I said what are you trying to do?"

"Are you trying to sexually harass me? If you don't leave, I'll tell the teacher..."

"Stay away from Eriri!"

Several girls chatting with Eriri also spoke up one after another to help Eriri drive Kitakami Yoru away.

The boys in the classroom also looked here with unfriendly gazes.

Kitakami Yoru clenched his fists, intending to intercept Eriri in the afternoon, gave a final obscure glance, and walked away.

"Eriri, how could you have a relationship with this disgusting fat nerd?"

"I don't have any relationship with him, just a fat nerd, it's disgusting to see him~"

Just a few steps away, Kitakami Yoru heard Eriri's contempt for him again.

This time he had evidence in his hand, so he couldn't let Eriri go; even if it caused a scene, he would be in the right.

The culprit who caused his current situation was Eriri!

She had deceived him, showed no remorse, and instead continued to call him a disgusting fat nerd...

Kitakami Yoru, in a fit of rage, entered the classroom through the back door.

As usual, he put down his bag.

Miura Yumiko glanced at him sideways, inexplicably feeling that the aura Kitakami Yoru was emitting was terrifying, even more terrifying than that day in the alley!

All day, Kitakami Yoru's mood was very bad; he coughed and had a stuffy nose from time to time, and when he stood up, his head would spin; he hadn't attended class properly at all.

After class, he slumped on the desk and didn't go anywhere.

He waited until school ended in the afternoon, and he was the first to rush out of the classroom through the back door to find Eriri.

"Where is she?"

There was only a wall between the classrooms; after Kitakami Yoru came out, he saw that the door to Eriri's class was locked, and no one was there.

"Is it PE class?"

Stunned for a few seconds, Kitakami Yoru thought of PE class.

He hurriedly grabbed his bag and rushed downstairs.

Feeling anxious and uneasy, he thought he was too late.

After PE class ended, they went straight home, sometimes leaving five or ten minutes early.

Kitakami Yoru ran down from the teaching building; his first priority was the club building.

If Eriri went to the club, he could intercept her.

He came very early, very fast, and knew where the Art Club was.

He had seen it when he was looking for cardboard to shelter from the rain.

Rushing all the way.

When he reached the stair corner on the second floor, Kitakami Yoru held onto the wall, his head dizzy, almost falling, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

"Cough, cough... cough, cough..."

After coughing violently for a while, Kitakami Yoru touched his hot forehead; it was still a low fever.

Gritting his teeth, he continued up.

He came very early.

The Art Club hadn't even opened yet.

Kitakami Yoru stopped on this floor, waiting for Eriri to come over.

A few minutes later.

When Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui came up, they saw Kitakami Yoru leaning on the balcony on this floor, blowing in the wind.

"Kitakami-san." Yuigahama Yui greeted him unexpectedly.

"Huh? It's you guys?" Kitakami Yoru was thinking about other things and was startled.
