Though Kato Megumi's injury was only to her wrist, not her back or some more sensitive area, which made Kasuga-no-Tōru feel a bit regretful... and a bit relieved, holding the girl's wrist was enough to make this young virgin's heart race.
"Kasuga-no-kun, aren't you going to start?"
Kato Megumi was truly admirable when acting, but the shy girl felt like she had lost all her previous courage.
With Kasuga-no-Tōru holding her wrist, though not as sensitive as holding her hand, she still blushed and lowered her head.
Everything was exactly the same as yesterday, the next step would be to apply the medicine.
But this time, Kasuga-no-Tōru didn't feel any threat from her gaze, because the shy girl had learned her lesson. The awkward scene of yesterday where they made eye contact naturally wouldn't happen again.
Without the threat, the boy became bolder than yesterday, even daring to hold the girl's wrist for a long time without doing anything.
Don't ask why he was so bold, just ask him if he was too cowardly yesterday.
After the example of Anzai Rentarō, he wouldn't dare to anger the seemingly gentle and weak girl in front of him.
Unless he was already prepared to pay for plastic surgery.
Hearing Kato Megumi's question, Kasuga-no-Tōru quickly calmed himself down, repeatedly saying, "Sorry, sorry, I'll start now."
...
The process of applying the medicine was similar to yesterday. The only thing worth mentioning was that Kasuga-no-Tōru was more certain of the strange feelings in his heart.
If the boy's inner world could be restored at this moment, there would definitely be two little people fighting.
"Why don't you try it?" This thought, once it popped up, grew like unstoppable weeds, quickly covering every corner of the boy's heart.
But soon, these weeds encountered a powerful herbicide.
"Forget it, before you have the ability to earn enough money, it's better not to waste another girl's time."
"That's too hypocritical of you to say. If you don't want to waste another girl's time, then don't get so close."
"You can't say that. Even if you don't plan to develop in the direction of a lover, can't you just be friends with Kato-san?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Have you ever seen pure friendship between men and women? If you don't want to marry her, why are you flirting with her? Your actions are no different from the useless protagonist written by Kashiwazaki-san!"
The two little people fought more and more fiercely, almost beating their dog brains out.
Of course, no matter whose dog brain it was, it was actually Kasuga-no-Tōru's own brain...
The troubled boy shook his head, deciding to be the master of his own thoughts.
So he slapped both of the little people who were making a fuss, then gave himself a hard slap.
"Kasuga-no-kun, what are you..."
"Oh, nothing, there was a mosquito."
"But it's only April..."
"Then I must have been mistaken!"
...
Kato Megumi once again enjoyed a satisfying dinner at Kasuga-no's house. Although a little person told the boy to keep his distance, but when you want to find an excuse, what excuse can't you find?
"I just made Kato-san angry today, so I can only apologize with delicious food to show my sincerity!" The boy said to himself.
This time, Kasuga-no-Tōru didn't forget to let the girl take the medicinal wine, and also found an excuse to make sure Kato-san took the medicinal wine back home, and sent the girl back home.
After returning home, Kasuga-no-Tōru sat at his desk, supporting his head with both hands, in a daze.
He felt that he had been really out of sorts lately. In the previous thirteen years, although he couldn't say that he was a complete saint who didn't care about anything, at certain moments, the boy was more aware than anyone.
No money, no love!
Do you really think pure love can be eaten?
If he could choose, who wouldn't want to be a rich second-generation, who doesn't need to worry about money all day long, and can pursue any girl he wants boldly?
But the problem is, he has no choice.
It was already difficult enough to feed himself and his sister, let alone anything else. But since this semester, when the most troublesome financial pressure was solved, Kasuga-no-Tōru found that there were many thoughts in his mind that he hadn't had before.
When you have enough to eat, you start thinking about lust, the ancient people were right.
All the problems in this world are caused by food.
Either you are starving, you really have nothing to eat, you can't survive without making trouble; or you are full, you have nothing to do when you are full, you can't live up to the three big bowls of rice you ate at noon without doing something?
In the days when he was worried about what to eat the next day, Kasuga-no-Tōru naturally didn't have time to consider these issues. But now...
Kato-san smells so good...
After giving himself another slap, Kasuga-no-Tōru quickly apologized to the girl in his heart.
Sometimes people are like that, the more holy something is, the more important it is in your heart, the more you respect it, the less you want to pollute it.
"Why don't I ask Kyō?" Kasuga-no-Tōru didn't have any friends to talk to, neither at school nor at his part-time job.
So the boy developed the habit of discussing things with his sister. That's why Kyō, although still a junior high school student, seemed more mature than her peers.
Thinking about this, Kasuga-no-Tōru called his sister. Since they were a family, there was nothing they couldn't talk about.
Kasuga-no-Tōru felt that if he had the idea of wanting to date a girl, he had to let his sister know.
"Hey, brother?!" As soon as the call was connected, Kasuga-no-Tōru heard his sister's voice, which was a bit puzzled, but also a bit excited.
Kasuga-no-Kyō really didn't expect her brother to call her during school days. You know, in order to let his sister concentrate on her studies, Kasuga-no-Tōru had specifically made a pact with Kyō that they could only video chat on weekends unless there were special circumstances.
So after receiving Kasuga-no-Tōru's call, Kyō was so happy. It was so hard to count the days with her fingers, she could only see her brother's face and hear his voice on weekends.
And this miserable life would continue for another year!
Unfortunately, before Kyō could be happy for long, the next thing Kasuga-no-Tōru said made the girl fall into an ice cave.
"Kyō, what does it feel like to like someone?"
