The Heroines Want to Confess.

Chapter 135: Itsuki is about to get skinny to death

After Thursday's class.

"Sakurai-san! I have something I want to tell you!"

A confession? No!

Sakurai Saki was cornered against the wall by Nakano Itsuki.

She wore a serious, childlike expression that made people want to pinch her cute little face.

Itsuki: ( ˶ •̀ - •́ ˵)

"If it's a confession, I refuse." Even though she kabedon-ed him, Sakurai Saki still stayed firm.

With so many students passing by here, she probably wouldn't do anything reckless.

"Can you stop joking around at a time like this? I really have something important I want to tell you." Nakano Itsuki said that, but she hesitated, unwilling to be direct.

"Something weird happened? Are you being followed by a pervert?" Sakurai Saki guessed.

In Japan, it's quite common for pretty girls to be approached or followed, but in the Minato district, that happened less, public security was good, and there weren't many idiots like that.

"No. Um, I don't know how to say it." Itsuki seemed to mess up her own thoughts, she grabbed Sakurai Saki's hand, pulling him, intending to bring him to a less crowded place.

Sakurai Saki brushed her hand off.

"I have to go to the gym, there's volleyball practice today, and I don't want to lose in tomorrow's sports festival. Besides, I already made plans with someone to go to the game center after class." Saying so, he walked himself toward the stairs, preparing to go down.

Sakurai Saki didn't want to lose to Shinomiya Kaguya in volleyball.

Itsuki saw that and chased after him.

She chose to talk along the way.

"Lately I've lost weight."

Sakurai Saki turned his head, his expression as if he'd just seen something unbelievable.

Sakurai: ( ಠ_ಠ ) !!!

"You… what's with that expression?!" Itsuki said angrily.

Can't I lose weight or something?

"Itsuki, let me give you an example. Someone climbing Mount Himalaya on foot without any protective gear—roughly that kind of feeling, you get it?"

"I'm not lying to you! I've lost another 5 kilos recently, for a total of 15 kilos!" Itsuki was so frustrated that she grabbed his hand and placed it on her arm.

"Feel it yourself!"

Sakurai Saki glanced at her, but didn't touch. "Itsuki, this is the staircase, watch your distance a little."

Nakano Itsuki then realized there were a few female students nearby sneaking glances at them.

She let go of his hand, pretended nothing happened, and quickened her steps down the stairs.

"Good afternoon." Sakurai Saki gave a gentle smile to those girls.

"Sakurai-senpai, good afternoon!" The cute juniors politely replied.

Sakurai Saki continued down the stairs, then at the shoe lockers he saw Itsuki standing there waiting.

He opened his locker and changed shoes.

Sakurai Saki walked out of the school building.

"My weight now is only 42kg." Itsuki walked closely beside him and said softly.

Now the more she ate, the skinnier she became, her weight couldn't be maintained at all—but not eating left her very hungry.

This was something Itsuki hadn't told her sisters. She felt the other four weren't very reliable. Thinking it through, it seemed only Sakurai Saki, this tutor, could be someone she could talk to.

"160cm, normal weight would be about 55kg. You're a little skinny now, but still within normal range?" Sakurai Saki responded casually.

He had more or less guessed the reason for her weight loss.

This matter actually had a bit to do with him—the mysterious origin of Sakurai Saki would attract many strange things.

"If this keeps going, am I going to die from being too skinny!?" Nakano Itsuki had never imagined a day when she would be afraid of becoming thinner.

Itsuki: (｡Ó﹏Ò｡)

"You could eat more fried food, the calorie intake would go up, maybe it'll solve your condition." Sakurai Saki gave a wicked smile.

"Don't treat me like an idiot!"

(｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!

"Alright, just look at this and you'll believe me." Itsuki patted his shoulder.

Sakurai Saki stopped and turned his head.

Itsuki lifted her school uniform skirt a bit, revealing the thigh that had been covered. It looked fairly plump, probably wouldn't feel bad to touch.

"Your thighs haven't slimmed down at all." Sakurai Saki remarked.

"That's right." Itsuki reflexively replied, then blushed and let the skirt fall back down.

She hadn't even realized what she had just done.

Because, the other person didn't seem to care much about her weight loss.

"I heard when a girl loses weight, her chest gets smaller too." Sakurai Saki glanced calmly at her chest: "Yours doesn't seem to have changed."

"Itsuki, you said you lost 15 kilos, right? If you keep losing weight, maybe you'll lose that whole 15 kilos 'there' too? That's pitiful."

Hearing that, Itsuki stood on tiptoes, grabbed his collar, and shook him like crazy: "It's not 15 kilos!!"

Itsuki: ⁽⁽(੭ꐦ ㅍДㅍ)੭

Sakurai Saki: "Alright alright, just kidding."

"Let me finish volleyball practice first, then we'll talk more."

Itsuki nodded.

These past few days, she'd been troubled by this matter, and finally found someone she could confide in. Waiting a bit more was no problem.

The two entered the gymnasium. Because tomorrow was the sports festival , quite a few people were practicing.

On the basketball court, the girls' basketball club was practicing.

Sakurai Saki glanced a few times.

On the days he didn't tutor, Nakano Yotsuba would be a substitute for the basketball club.

"Itsuki!! Sakurai-san!!" Yotsuba waved her right hand at the two of them.

Yotsuba: ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰

"Truly full of energy." Sakurai Saki remarked.

The sweat from the little girl's forehead had dripped all over the floor, yet her face still carried a bright smile.

"Too bad she's an idiot."

Nakano Itsuki gently waved back at her sister.

Then, when Yotsuba thought Itsuki came to watch her, she instead walked to the side with Sakurai Saki.

"Alright, let's take a break."

The current captain of the girls' basketball club, Hasegawa-senpai, clapped her hands once. Today, she was here to help with training.

"Yotsuba? Right?" Hasegawa called out to the dazed Yotsuba.

Yotsuba snapped back to reality: "Hasegawa-senpai, what is it?!"

"Have you ever considered joining the basketball club?"

Yotsuba gently shook her head.

Hasegawa Miho glanced toward where Sakurai Saki had just left, "That was General Affairs Sakurai, right? You know him?"

"Sakurai-san is my tutor."

"..."

Hasegawa Miho looked around once. Her face, full of a strong aura, didn't show much expression: "Club activities are important, but studying mustn't be neglected either. If in the future you don't have time to help, just refuse straightforwardly."

...

"Hasegawa-senpai looks pretty scary huh." Nakano Itsuki commented.

Earlier, she'd been stared at several times.

"She's actually very gentle." Sakurai Saki replied.

You can't judge someone's nature by their appearance. Sakurai Saki was the exact opposite example.

"Ryuju-san, you know her? She's actually very gentle too." Sakurai Saki and Itsuki stepped into the indoor volleyball court.

"Ryuju-san? The only daughter of the Ryuju family? Her family is yakuza, how can she be…"

Sakurai Saki didn't let her finish speaking, he patted Itsuki's shoulder, "Stop talking."

The subject of the conversation was sitting right next to them —

"Hey, you… got something to say about me? Huh~!?" Ryuju Momo, sitting by the wall near the volleyball court, suddenly spoke up.

Momo: (≖ - ≖)

Itsuki: ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

"Careful or I'll kill you!! Kora!!" Ryuju Momo threatened.

Sakurai Saki wasn't very concerned with her threat, instead paying more attention to her yakuza-style intimidation—it was quite interesting.

"You don't even accept compliments when someone calls you gentle?" Sakurai Saki said, then curiously asked, "Momo, why are you here?"

"Go ask Shirogane." Ryuju Momo rolled her eyes.

"Shirogane? I don't see him. Did he stand you up?" Sakurai Saki looked at the classes practicing volleyball, but couldn't find Shirogane Miyuki anywhere. He didn't show up for practice today.

Shirogane and Ryuju Momo were in the same class, 2nd year Class D.

The Nakano quintuplets were in 2nd year Class C, Sakurai Saki and Hayasaka Ai were in Class A, Fujiwara Chika was in Class B, and Shijo Maki was in Class E.

A few minutes later, Shirogane arrived.

"Yo, Sakurai. Huh? Ryuju, you're here too?"

"Didn't you say you'd lend me a hand?" Ryuju Momo said irritably.

President Shirogane thought for a few seconds, then guessed: "You mean the accounting work? I already sent the spreadsheets through the computer, there's no need for you to come get them."

"…You couldn't have said that earlier?!"

After that, Sakurai Saki saw Ryuju Momo leave the volleyball court with an expression that was both embarrassed and angry.

Felt like Shirogane would get her revenge taken later.

"Accounting work? Where's Ishigami?"

"Sick. Took two days off." Shirogane Miyuki said with a sigh.

"He never liked exercising, and his physical condition is an issue." Sakurai Saki appeared understanding.

"Also, during season changes, it's easier to catch a cold." Shirogane explained, then upon seeing Itsuki, greeted her: "Nakano-san, hello, this should be our first time meeting, right?"

He couldn't tell the quintuplets apart, but calling her Nakano was definitely safe.

"Hello, President Shirogane, I'm Nakano Itsuki." Itsuki slightly bowed in greeting.

After that, Sakurai Saki pulled Shirogane along to practice for a bit.

Nakano Itsuki then stood on the edge of the court, like a rock awaiting her husband.
