Chapter 77

After school in the afternoon, Gabril and Aoyama Nanami came to visit for a while.

Gabril asked several times, confirmed there was no major problem, and left.

Kitakami Yoru asked her to take care of San-san.

After school the next afternoon.

Kato Megumi came over and sat by the bed.

"Do you want to eat some fruit?" Kato Megumi brought some fruit.

"No need..."

Kitakami Yoru looked at the treasure chest on her head, which was already more than half full, and turned over.

As a result, he had been lying down for too long, his arm was numb, and he couldn't turn over...

"What's wrong?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Lying down until I'm numb..."

Kitakami Yoru shook his head gently, smiling bitterly.

"Do you want me to help you massage?" Kato Megumi sat over.

"Eh... okay... okay..."

Kitakami Yoru's eyes widened slightly.

This was physical contact.

The innocent Kato Megumi didn't think much of it; it was just a simple massage.

Her little hands were so soft~

Kitakami Yoru couldn't help but be happy, chatting with Kato Megumi...

Soon, he discovered something wrong, or rather, a surprise.

When Kato Megumi massaged him, the growth rate of the golden treasure chest's progress bar could be said to have increased several times!

Half an hour later, Kato Megumi was about to leave.

"Kato-san, can you occasionally come to keep me company?" Kitakami Yoru couldn't help but call out to Kato Megumi.

He was desperate to open the treasure chest.

"Sure."

Kato Megumi only had Kitakami Yoru as a friend, so she naturally agreed.

The eighth day.

His blood pressure stabilized.

Besides lying in bed playing with his phone, Kitakami Yoru was reviewing his lessons and reading books.

Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino came to visit.

This was something Kitakami Yoru hadn't expected.

"Hee hee, I heard it from Hiratsuka-sensei."

"It's rumored in school that Kitakami-san had a car accident, or had a mental breakdown; I was startled when I heard it."

Yuigahama Yui said.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't speak.

They sat for a while and intended to leave.

"This is the review material; don't fall behind on the previous parts either."

Before leaving, the silent Yukinoshita Yukino handed over a notebook.

The twenty-third day.

Kitakami Yoru could be discharged.

Next, he would line up for the minimally invasive surgery on his left atrium, done in two parts.

During this time, Gabril and Aoyama Nanami came twice, and Hiratsuka Shizuka once.

Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino didn't come again.

When packing up to go home, Kitakami Yoru weighed himself.

After not exercising for more than half a month and eating the fat-reducing meals made by his mother, Kitakami Megumi, his weight had dropped by seven or eight pounds.

"I guess when I'm discharged, it'll be final exams..."

Kitakami Yoru sat in the back seat of his father's Lexus, looking at the scenery outside the window and muttering.

All of this was caused by Eriri!

Damn it!

Kitakami Yoru's emotions almost became agitated again, desperately trying not to think about this.

The twenty-ninth day.

Surgery could be performed; the familiar ward.

The surgery was minimally invasive, with a small opening in his chest.

The thirty-first day.

Kitakami Yoru recovered; he slept very well under general anesthesia.

The thirty-third day.

Kato Megumi came to visit; the golden treasure chest was almost full and could be opened.

The thirty-eighth day.

Second surgery, another opening.

Kitakami Yoru's body returned to health.

Summer was coming, and it was starting to get hot.

The forty-first day.

After one check-up next week, he could be discharged!

Kato Megumi came to visit today; the treasure chest was just a tiny bit away.

Ten minutes would be enough!

At this moment, Kitakami Yoru's heart was very excited.

Kitakami Yoru's hair was very long.

If Eriri were here, she would recognize at a glance that this was the protagonist of her nightmare!

"I'll be discharged next week, it's fine."

"Thank you, Kato-san..."

Kitakami Yoru was both excited and nervous now.

"That's great, but Kitakami-san, how did you get high blood pressure?"

Kato Megumi had wanted to ask for a long time.

But considering Kitakami Yoru's condition, she was afraid of stimulating him.

"Because of Sawamura Eriri, heh~"

Kitakami Yoru's expression turned cold instantly.

If he had the ability, he definitely wouldn't let Eriri go.

"Sawamura Eriri?" Kato Megumi asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I didn't like her much to begin with, and because I saw her arguing with Kasumigaoka Utaha, she often looked down on me..."

"I even suspected she was the culprit."

A three-dimensional white-silk cute loli appeared in Kitakami Yoru's mind.

"Sawamura-san and Kasumigaoka Utaha don't have a good relationship? Is the culprit..."

Kato Megumi seemed to recall some things, her expression gradually becoming dazed.

"Who knows what such a young lady thinks in her heart."

"Who knows what kind of person she is? What is her relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha really like?"

"Also, it's a bit impossible for such a young lady to steal the personal items of someone she doesn't like to take revenge; it's too low-class."

"But thinking about it the other way around, no one would suspect her, not even Kasumigaoka Utaha, right?"

Kitakami Yoru muttered, staring at the golden treasure chest on Kato Megumi's head.

The next second, the golden treasure chest suddenly opened.

"Clack--"

Only Kitakami Yoru could hear this sound.

After the golden treasure chest opened, it emitted a brilliant light, stinging his eyes.

Two golden flashing streams of light flew out of the golden treasure chest and drilled into Kitakami Yoru's body.

All of this happened in a flash, in an instant!

Kitakami Yoru was stunned, and two pieces of information appeared in his mind.

"Kitakami-san, I remembered, a very important thing!"

"Do you still remember before, when you told me about the light from the phone flashing in the shower tent?"

Kato Megumi stood up, solemnly grabbed Kitakami Yoru's palm, her expression serious and solemn.

"Wha... what's wrong?"

Kitakami Yoru didn't even have time to check the treasure he had obtained.

"I wasn't asleep at the time; I was awake late at night, and when there was light outside, I looked out."

"I was sleeping opposite Sawamura-san's tent, and there was light inside!"

"I didn't know Sawamura-san and Kasumigaoka Utaha-senpai had a bad relationship, and I didn't see the scene you mentioned, so I thought someone in the tent was getting up at night..."

"Now that you say it like that, I finally remembered...!"

Kato Megumi had a serious expression on her face, but she didn't seem sure.

"Kato, is what you said true?!"

Kitakami Yoru, who had always suspected Eriri, got another piece of evidence and couldn't sit still at all.

He even flipped directly off the bed.

His eyes widened, his body tensed up, secreting adrenaline, and he kept pacing back and forth in the room.

"Kitakami-san... don't be so agitated..."

"This doesn't confirm that Sawamura-san is the culprit; what if it's a misunderstanding? There's no evidence either..."

Kato Megumi said worriedly.

"No, you don't know!"

Kitakami Yoru stopped excitedly, but his heart was filled with excitement.

[Mind Reading]: Perceive inner emotions, read inner thoughts, consumes mental energy when used.

[Time Reversal]: Return to any time point within one month before the current time, automatically takes effect upon death (once).

This was the ability he obtained from the golden treasure chest!

One is mind reading, the wonderful uses of which go without saying.

Using it on classmates during the spring trip one by one, reading their minds, he could easily catch the culprit.

Time reversal is an active skill.

It's a pity it's only once.

After Kitakami Yoru uses it, he can return to a certain time period within the last month, making time flow backward!

He had been in the hospital for most of this month, so he definitely couldn't use it.

This magical time reversal ability has magical uses...

"Hoo..."

Kitakami Yoru took several deep breaths before sitting back on the bed.

Heart surgery hadn't been long ago, so he couldn't move around randomly!

"Calm down, calm down."

Kato Megumi's expression was flat, and she started taking deep breaths herself.

"I know, thank you, Kato-san."

Kitakami Yoru temporarily didn't consider time reversal.

First, use mind reading to test Eriri.

If the culprit is Eriri...

The fat nerd lying on the hospital bed recalled everything from before the spring trip until now...

He was going crazy...

Calm down, deep breath...

Calming his mood, Kitakami Yoru looked at Kato Megumi gratefully.

"Just call me Kato." Kato Megumi smiled.

"Eh?"

Kitakami Yoru was stunned.

"Aren't we friends?" Kato Megumi said, resting her chin on her hand.

"Then... Kato?" Kitakami Yoru swallowed his saliva.

Of course, he wasn't narcissistic enough to think Kato Megumi liked him, this fat nerd.

"Kitakami-kun, I'm leaving then."

It wasn't the weekend today, so Kato Megumi had to leave.

"Goodbye."

Kitakami Yoru didn't try to keep her; he also needed to be quiet.

The ward returned to silence.

Kitakami Yoru lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

Time reversal, a magical ability.

It could be used to get rich, buy stocks, buy lottery tickets...

It could be used to save one's life, save others...

For example, if he died in a car accident or was disabled from a fall, it would automatically take effect, bringing him back to a certain time node with his original memories.

Diagnosed with cancer, maybe treating it a month earlier would be different...

In short, it was very magical.

Kitakami Yoru thought about fiercely taking revenge on Shinomiya Kaguya and Kasumigaoka Utaha first to vent his hatred, using up this ability.

It wasn't quite worth it...

After using it, he would feel good for a moment.

Time reversal, it would still be the same.

Of course, the golden treasure chest could only be opened once, and mind reading wouldn't be affected.

"Find the culprit first."

Kitakami Yoru thought calmly.

If the culprit was Eriri, everything was caused by Eriri.

He was willing to take a gamble.

It wouldn't necessarily be used.

It was a gamble...

Kitakami Yoru touched the camera on his phone.

2: End of the entrance chapter.

Inside a luxurious boudoir full of cute girl hearts.

Eriri, the white-skinned mixed-race cute loli who was usually arrogant, spirited, and didn't give any boy a good look.

At this moment, her hair was messy, her twin tails had come undone, and there was a huge, bright red palm print on her cute, fair left cheek.

Huddled pitifully in the corner, tears streaming down her face, shivering.

Constantly crying and begging for mercy from the fat nerd standing in front of her, whose hair covered his eyebrows and ears, and whose build was vastly different from hers...

Her heart was filled with despair and fear...

"Want me to let you go?"

"Sawamura-san, you ruined my life, and I'm going to ruin you too!"

The fat nerd let out an extremely suppressed roar, his big hand grabbing toward the helpless Eriri!

"No! Don't!"
