"It's over, it's over~ I'm an orphan, my abilities are limited."

Aragaki Jun looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, whose face was flushed with excitement, and thought she was particularly cute at this moment, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

As soon as Yukinoshita Yukino finished saying that, she regretted it in her heart. She said it unintentionally, but to Jun Aragaki, it sounded like moral blackmail.

After hesitating for a long time, Yukinoshita Yukino decided to apologize to Aragaki Jun. But when she turned around, she saw Aragaki Jun staring at her.

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and looked at Aragaki Jun with cold eyes. The young man soon couldn't stand it anymore and raised his hand to show surrender.

"Yukinoshita-san, you are a little too anxious. There are still more than two years until the college entrance examination. You still have time to start studying from the beginning."

"Sorry, I was too anxious."

Yukinoshita Yukino still apologized to Aragaki Jun, but she deliberately made it vague about the specific matter. Aragaki Jun knew what she was thinking, but he didn't expose her.

At present, Takada Mitsuru's academic situation has been confirmed, and the next step is to design a study plan for her.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino did not personally agree to tutoring at home, the study plan she has made for Takada Mitsuru is an answer in itself.

According to Yukino Yukinoshita's plan, Takada Mitsuru will have three hours of extra lessons every night after school from Monday to Friday.

She has to take six hours of extra classes on Saturdays, Sundays, and other rest days, and cannot rest on New Year's Day.

"Mikaru, do you think this is okay?"

"I...think..."

Of course, Takada Mitsuru was unwilling in her heart. Looking at the handwriting on the paper by Yukinoshita Yukino, she had already seen the future hell of tutoring.

The wild cat girl really wanted to get some vacation time, but Aragaki Jun spoke up at this time and agreed to Yukinoshita Yukino's arrangement.

So, the matter was settled. Takada Mitsuru lay on the table with a pale face, and she didn't even notice that Yukinoshita Yukino had just called her name.

"Yukinoshita-san, we've been talking for so long, why don't you have a pear?"

Aragaki Jun had finished eating his own pear, and the other two washed crystal pears were placed in front of the two girls.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Aragaki Jun, whispered "thank you", and started eating the pear in small bites.

On the other side, Takada Mitsuru was still immersed in despair. She lay on the table for a long time without any reaction. Aragaki Jun pinched her cheek and put the pear in her hand.

"Mizuru-chan, you must cherish Yukinoshita-san's teaching. I wonder how many people are eager to have her lectures, but they don't have the chance."

"I understand."

Mitsuru Takada straightened up, held the pear in both hands, and began to chew it like a hamster.

Although she ate as slowly as Yukinoshita Yukino, Yukino's eating style was extremely elegant, and the way she chewed the pear was extremely funny.

Chapter 24 Rumors over the City

Aragaki Jun washed the pears and gave each of the three people one, and as if they were voting, they all chose to eat them.

The tutoring was settled, but Yukinoshita Yukino had some family matters recently and would not be free until Sunday.

Knowing that she still had a few days of free time, Takada Mitsuru felt relieved, but she didn't dare show it on her face.

Aragaki Jun expressed his full support, and Yukinoshita Yukino could help with tutoring for free without affecting her own life.

After eating the pear, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and prepared to leave. Aragaki Jun wanted to keep her for dinner, but Yukino found a reason to refuse.

In every aspect, their relationship is not very close, and anything can happen in the future.

"Just deliver it to the door, no need to go through so much trouble."

Yukinoshita Yukino changed her shoes at the entrance and wanted Aragaki Jun not to go out, but her advice did not work.

Without Takada Mitsuru, the two of them had no more topics to talk about and remained silent. When they reached the door of the apartment, they stopped together.

"If nothing goes wrong, I'll come over this Sunday."

"Don't worry about it so much. Take care of your own things first. There is still a lot of time to come."

Aragaki Jun's words sounded a little ambiguous, but his tone and expression were very calm, so Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything.

The apartment that Aragaki Jun rented has two floors. Although there are several empty rooms, he is not the only tenant.

It was approaching dusk and Aragaki Jun was the only tenant at home in the shabby apartment. None of the others had returned yet, and the entire courtyard was particularly quiet.

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have thought of something, looking at the first floor of the apartment in a daze. The dim sunlight hit her cheeks, casting a layer of light on the girl's delicate face.

Yukinoshita Yukino's skin is the best of all the girls Jun Aragaki has ever seen. No one knows how she maintains it, but it is as white and smooth as porcelain.

A young girl in her twenties doesn't need any makeup or pendants. Her moist and clear youthful aura becomes clearer the closer you get to her.

The heart-pounding feeling he felt when looking at her completely ignored the man's age and experience, and directly caused real harm.

Having lived once, Aragaki Jun thought he could resist the charm of Yukinoshita Yukino and think and respond to her calmly.

But at this moment, the girl was just distracted for a moment in front of him, and he could no longer look away.

Her appearance, her temperament, her words, everyone who knows her will admire her.

——It was like a picturesque scene, a girl who would exist even if the world ended.

"..."

Aragaki Jun stood in front of Yukinoshita Yukino, quietly waiting for her to return to normal. He didn't know why she was in a trance, but he didn't mind if it lasted a little longer.

"Ah... sorry, I was distracted."

After Yukinoshita Yukino came to her senses, she put her hand on her forehead. Her mind was a little confused because of what she had just thought of.

Aragaki Jun didn't ask in a hurry. He took out a tissue and handed it to her, waiting quietly for her to calm down.

Yukinoshita wiped her cheeks, thanked Aragaki Jun, and changed the topic:

"Aragaki-san, does your landlady live here?"

"The room on the far left on the first floor is hers, but she doesn't come here every day."

Aragaki Jun has no previous memories, so naturally he can't be said to be very familiar with Kisara. Through recent chats with her, Aragaki Jun can confirm that his previous incarnation rarely contacted her.

Although Kisara is very beautiful, Aragaki Jun, who has just traveled through time, has been adapting to the unfamiliar environment with fear and trepidation, and does not have any romantic thoughts.

"According to other tenants, she owns a lot of properties in Tokyo, and she should live in a high-end apartment on weekdays."

"Did she... tell me why she has so many properties?"

“I’m not sure about this, but it seems like she inherited someone’s fortune, and she rarely went to school in order to manage the family business.

"Then... is it possible that she... was married. These properties belonged to her deceased husband?"

"Ah? That shouldn't be possible. She looks the same age as us, so it's not legally allowed. Or...she looks too young?"

Aragaki Jun didn't like to pry into other people's privacy. All the information he knew about Kisara was overheard by others when they were chatting:

"Yukinoshita-san, do you think something is wrong with her? Do you want me to ask someone else?"

"No, I just happened to hear a rumor and suspected that I might have seen the real owner."

Since Yukinoshita Yukino would pay special attention to this rumor, you can imagine how widely it would spread. When such a large amount of property changes owners, how many people would be watching it.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino was just curious, and she didn't want others to mistakenly think she had bad intentions because of her meaningless prying.

"Aragaki-san, it's getting late. I should go back."

"See you."

Aragaki could see that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't want to delve into the matter any further. Although he was also somewhat curious about the rumor, he suppressed these emotions deep in his heart.

He is still too weak now, and it is not advisable for him to pry into other people's secrets casually, so as to avoid being targeted for no reason.

In the future, when he becomes powerful, he will be able to figure out everything.

Under the dim sunlight, the figure of Yukinoshita Yukino gradually faded away, the city with towering buildings was still noisy, and the surging hearts of the people were still boiling.

Aragaki Jun turned around and returned to the courtyard. There was no one in the room on the far left of the first floor. When he looked inside, the window was not translucent and it was dark and scary.

In the shabby apartment, the sound of Jun Aragaki going up the stairs was heard. He was about to take out the key to open the door, but his door was opened first.

"Aragaki-kun, welcome back."

"Ah."

Aragaki Jun changed his shoes at the entrance and after entering the room he found that Takada Mitsuru was still doing his homework.

"Is there anything you don't understand? I can tell you about it."

"Yes, I don't know the answer to this question."

If it were before, Takada Mitsuru would definitely not let Aragaki Jun help. After all, it was a small matter like homework, and it didn't matter if she made mistakes.

However, after chatting with Yukinoshita Yukino, she felt tremendous pressure in her studies. Not only was she afraid that Yukinoshita Yukino would scold her, she was even more afraid of disappointing Aragaki Jun.

Mitsuru Takada could feel that Jun Aragaki attached great importance to her studies, and if her grades were better, it would probably make him happy.

Although Takada Mitsuru rarely shows her emotions, she is undoubtedly a young girl in her prime, and she has always longed for recognition and praise from others.

Aragaki Jun was very happy that she took the initiative to study. After explaining the questions to her, he went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In the small house of 20 square meters, the girl sat in front of a low table, writing and drawing. The sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen. As long as she raised her head, she could vaguely see the busy figure.

For some reason, Takada Mitsuru suddenly felt like crying.

Chapter 25 Life is still long

In the past, Takada Mitsuru had stayed at several relatives' homes. They maintained a superficial kindness in front of her, but in fact they did not like her in their hearts.

She grew up in such an environment and was abandoned and transferred one after another. She almost lost the ability to be loved.

When others are nice to her, she will unconsciously feel afraid that this kindness will be exhausted and turned into cold faces.

She longed so much for a place to stay, a home like most people have, a place she could return to at any time.

The wild cat girl longed for a home, but after her mother died, she lost her place to live and she had no idea what it would be like to have a home.

Until she met Aragaki Jun, who pulled her out of hell and brought her to his residence.

After these days of getting along and testing each other, Takada Mitsuru can already confirm that Aragaki Jun is different from others.

Just like what they agreed on that day, he...really treated her as family.
