In the corner of the deserted school building.
Eriri reached out and grabbed Yukiya's wrist tightly.
After a brief moment of bewilderment, Yukiya looked carefully at Eriri's earlobe that was exposed outside her hair.
It was already a shade of pink.
Yukiya inexplicably felt relieved.
Well, she was still the Eriri he knew.
Just today, how much courage did she need to do something that even surprised him?
Thinking this, Yukiya reached out and gently stroked Eriri's golden hair.
Feeling the gentle touch on her head.
Eriri's prepared words all vanished in an instant.
Her small head went blank for a short time.
‘Hurry up and say something, Eriri!’
Her heart urged the girl like this.
Unlike the previous hesitation.
This time, Eriri listened to the call of her heart.
She forcefully threw herself into Yukiya's arms.
“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I... I was too willful before! I'm sorry!”
Halfway through, her voice was already choked with sobs.
Yukiya could clearly feel the uniform on his chest getting wet.
Feeling Eriri's determination to overcome her proud personality.
Yukiya tightly embraced the petite figure in his arms.
She cried for a long time.
She cried so much that the uniform on Yukiya's chest became soaked through.
Eriri finally raised her small head, sniffling.
“Yukiya, can you forgive me?”
Her whole heart was hanging in the air.
Like she was waiting for judgment.
Eriri was afraid that Yukiya would say hurtful and cold words.
Even if the arm around her waist held her tighter, she feared it was just an illusion.
After all, she finally realized how deeply she had hurt him, relying on his love.
“Since you apologized like this, how could I bear to refuse you?”
Yukiya said with a smile.
Eriri's eyes widened.
In those azure blue eyes, reflecting the boy's figure, her eyes were filled with joy.
“Sigh, Eriri, you're really cheating. You know that as long as you cry, I won't refuse any of your requests.”
Yukiya leaned down and whispered in the girl's ear.
His breath brushed against Eriri's earlobe.
Her slender body trembled slightly.
Eriri was willing to apologize, and Yukiya was naturally willing to start their story anew.
Any improvement in the proud young lady is precious.
Not to mention, the improvement now is not a little bit.
But a lot.
After taking Eriri to wash her face.
Yukiya carefully wiped the water droplets from Eriri's cheeks.
“By the way, I plan to start a gaming club, Eriri, are you interested?”
Yukiya suddenly said at the classroom door.
Eriri was stunned for a moment, recalling some unpleasant memories.
But looking at the boy in front of her.
Those unpleasant memories vanished instantly.
“What do you mean, if you're going to invite me, you should at least be more formal about it!”
Eriri muttered softly.
Her pride has changed, but not much.
“Miss Eriri, my gaming club, the art designer position is reserved for you, please lend me your strength!”
Of course, Yukiya was not stingy with his words.
Eriri has already softened.
What's wrong with saying nice things?
Hearing the words "reserved for you" from Yukiya's mouth.
Eriri's cheeks flushed pink.
“Okay, I'll join!”
Eriri nodded in agreement.
The two then returned to the classroom.
Sitting in their seats.
Eriri held her cheeks, her happy mood was evident to everyone.
A little sun flower was about to grow on top of her golden twintails.
‘Yukiya, Yukiya, Yukiya, hehehe, he's willing to call me Eriri again! Reserved for me, reserved for me! Hehehe!’
When she was sweetly thinking this.
“Yukiya, good morning.”
Eriri: !
Eriri widened her eyes and looked at the girl who was greeting Yukiya.
They had just met yesterday.
But upon noticing her again, Eriri felt like she had no impression of the girl in her mind.
It was like they had never met before.
However, none of that mattered.
Just now, what did this girl call Yukiya?
Eriri thought she must have misheard.
“Good morning too, Megumi.”
Yukiya's natural response made Eriri understand that she probably hadn't misheard.
Kato Megumi placed her bag on her seat and naturally asked:
“How is Byakuyamaru doing? Is he adapting well at home?”
“Well, he hasn't shown any signs of rejection, and he seems to have learned to use the toilet.”
“Oh oh, then Byakuyamaru is very smart. It usually takes a long time to learn.”
“I think Byakuyamaru is pretty smart too, he's worthy of being my destined companion.”
“Yukiya, don't praise yourself like that in front of other girls, you'll be disliked.”
“I know that, of course.”
Eriri abruptly stood up from her seat.
Finally, she attracted the attention of the two.
At this moment, Eriri looked completely dumbfounded, her slightly red-rimmed eyes were filled with great confusion.
“Wait, wait, hold on! Who is Byakuyamaru!?”
There were too many things in the conversation that needed to be complained about.
But to say the most concerning, it was definitely the "Byakuyamaru" part.
“Ah... Byakuyamaru is a cat that Megumi and I picked up on the way home yesterday.”
“Now he's been adopted by me, I named him Byakuyamaru. He's very cute, Eriri, do you want to see him?”
Yukiya said, reaching for his phone.
Eriri: o.O
Eriri was completely stunned.
Adopting a cat together...
After she went home yesterday, how much plot did she miss?
Eriri suspected that she didn't take a day off, but a whole semester.
Your progress is too outrageous!
“Do you want to see?”
Because Eriri was stunned, after Yukiya took out his phone, he asked again.
Eriri wanted to be stubborn and say no.
But curiosity drove her to take Yukiya's phone.
The small figure, like a white jade bun, stretched out its pink paws on the cat tree.
The golden and light blue heterochromia seemed to be shining.
Eriri felt her heart being struck.
He's so cute.
Cute Eriri almost cried.
Why did she take a day off yesterday!
“If Eriri likes him, you can come to my house to play with Byakuyamaru sometime.”
Yukiya said so.
“Can I?” (Sobbing voice)
“Of course you can, Megumi agrees, right?”
Yukiya winked at Kato Megumi.
“Yes, yes, Byakuyamaru should like 澤村 too.”
Kato Megumi wasn't the type to deliberately hinder others either.
“That's great, I'll definitely go. Kato, you're such a good person!” (Trembling voice)
“It's Kato.”
“Yeah, yeah, Kato, we're going to be good friends from now on!”
Amidst Eriri's whimpering, she vaguely felt something was wrong.
But she agreed to pet the cat, Kato must be a good person, right?!
