Chapter 80

I couldn't exactly say that because of a misunderstanding between him and you, I went to talk to him, accidentally tripped, and was seen through?

And then he grabbed my wrist, pinned me against the alley wall, and demanded an apology?

Miura Yumiko muttered to herself.

The moment he walked into the school gate, Kitakami Yoru looked at the teaching building from afar, feeling inevitably excited.

He was suppressing his emotions again, but he needed an outlet.

"By the way, Sawamura Eriri should be here by now, right?"

Kitakami Yoru shook his head vigorously and strode toward the teaching building.

Next door classroom.

Eriri rested her cheek on one hand, facing the window, and yawned.

Tears welled up, and she closed her eyes to rub them.

Kitakami Yoru appeared, standing outside the window, looking at Eriri with an indifferent expression.

The next second.

Eriri opened her eyes, and the shut-in otaku from her nightmares was reflected in her clear pupils!

Her heart skipped a beat, almost short-circuiting!

Kitakami Yoru hadn't cut his hair.

Eriri, with her pale, bloodless face, was now in a strange state.

Her ears were filled with the sound of her own heartbeat, and everything around her detached from her, entering a two-dimensional world.

Kitakami Yoru frowned, his mind-reading ability active.

Eriri seemed to have been scared silly by him; other than fear and surprise, he couldn't perceive any other emotions.

She wasn't thinking about anything in her heart, so naturally, he couldn't read anything.

"I'll try again this afternoon."

Kitakami Yoru didn't say a word and returned to the classroom he had been absent from for so long through the back door.

From being framed on the field trip, being pointed at by everyone, being demanded to drop out, to Hiratsuka-sensei speaking up, to Shinomiya Kaguya intervening...

To being cursed at all day, having his shoe locker and desk graffitied, having trash stuffed in them...

To the rain, Eriri deceiving him, difficulty breathing, freezing until he had a fever, huddled in the corner of a dirty restroom for hours...

Being rolled eyes at, cursed as disgusting, being brushed off, emergency hospital visits, hospitalization, surgery...

To today...

Entering the classroom, many students seemed surprised that Kitakami Yoru had suddenly returned to school.

He himself was also clear about the rumors people in school were spreading about him.

After the morning reading bell rang.

Kitakami Yoru opened his book and scratched his hair in frustration.

Having not come to class for over a month, he hadn't learned a single thing.

How frustrating~

Also, Fujiwara Chika from the Student Council.

Kitakami Yoru remembered vividly how she had helped him, running around for him in the hospital.

If it weren't for her, he probably would have fainted on the spot, waiting for a kind stranger to call an ambulance.

"There are still good people in the Student Council~"

"How should I thank Fujiwara Chika?"

Kitakami Yoru bit the tip of his pen in frustration again.

Fujiwara Chika's status was incredibly high, her family background so prominent that there were few like it in all of Japan.

If Shinomiya Kaguya represented money, then Fujiwara Chika was the pinnacle of power.

With power, was there anything to fear regarding money?

"A verbal thank you is just too inappropriate..."

Kitakami Yoru thought distressingly.

All day, Kitakami Yoru was in a bad mood.

First, he couldn't understand a word the teacher was saying; he was like a cow listening to music.

Second, he was constantly looking forward to school ending.

As soon as the bell rang.

Kitakami Yoru couldn't wait to grab his bag and head downstairs quickly.

Good, Eriri hadn't left.

After changing his shoes at the first-floor shoe locker, Kitakami Yoru waited directly outside the teaching building.

"Sawamura Eriri..."

"It's probably you..."

Kitakami Yoru narrowed his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to see how nervous and angry he was inside.

A while later.

Eriri changed her shoes and came out of the teaching building alone.

Kitakami Yoru's sudden appearance this morning had really scared her; she had never been so afraid in her life...

Afterward, she felt a bit happier.

At least, Kitakami Yoru hadn't had a mental breakdown or jumped off a building like the rumors said.

Eriri didn't know the specific reason, but as long as he was okay, it was good, and the faint sense of guilt in her heart disappeared.

"Just give him a bit more money to compensate him, that should be enough, right?"

Eriri thought to herself, feeling relieved.

She had no idea.

How much damage her actions had caused Kitakami Yoru!

Money?

It couldn't compensate a furious Kitakami Yoru who had lost his reason and held the power of time reversal in his hands!

Eriri lowered her cute head, her dazzling twin-tails swaying as she walked.

"Sawamura-san, I think we can talk."

Kitakami Yoru chased after her directly, keeping a certain distance to avoid triggering her.

So he could use his ability, mind-reading!

Even without reading her mind, Kitakami Yoru's instincts and various pieces of evidence were telling him that the culprit was Sawamura Spencer Eriri, that arrogant, mixed-race, white-skinned loli!

She usually acted high and mighty, looking down on him from the bottom of her heart, calling him a disgusting shut-in otaku, rolling her eyes at him, and despising him...

"I'll give you the umbrella and money another day, don't come near me..."

Eriri looked at Kitakami Yoru defensively, sizing him up while backing away quickly.

Kitakami Yoru's sudden attack on her earlier had already put her on high alert.

Kitakami Yoru read this vigilance and defensiveness.

"Sawamura-san, don't worry, we're just at school, I just want my umbrella and money back." Kitakami Yoru frowned slightly and replied easily.

Seeing Kitakami Yoru looking like he wanted to talk, Eriri immediately took a step back: "Don't come near me..."

After saying that, she couldn't help but think about how disgusting the shut-in otaku was.

"Sawamura-san..."

Kitakami Yoru was on the verge of exploding and threatened her faintly.

"Th... then let's talk somewhere else."

Eriri was afraid Kitakami Yoru would do something impulsive and said nervously.

Soon, she led Kitakami Yoru to the flower bed walkway behind the teaching building.

At school, she wasn't afraid of Kitakami Yoru acting out.

The students on duty taking out the trash would also pass by this path.

"Speak, what do you want to say?" Eriri crossed her arms, putting on an impatient expression.

She had no idea what Kitakami Yoru wanted to say by stopping her.

"The person who stole Kasumigaoka Utaha's pantyhose and panties and framed me was actually you, right?"
