Chapter 972 - Unlimited Neutral Field 1 (1/2)

Haruyuki was inside his room covering himself with a blanket thinking about his inferiority. His mother stayed at work and he didn't have anyone who could console him. Thinking about his childhood friends, he felt betrayed by Chiyu since she had told Taku what had happened to him.

(Chiyu and Taku are Haruyuki's childhood friends).

Haruyuki had decided to throw away his school life and he was alright with it since he didn't have a friend in the school, but when he was outside the school, he wanted to have the same standing as his childhood friends, he didn't want any pity nor contempt from them. He only wanted to be treated the same and play a game together with his childhood friends.

Haruyuki was quite depressed and thought to sleep quickly, but then someone pressed the bell of his apartment. He wanted to ignore it, but it seemed this person wouldn't stop pressing the bell no matter what. He sighed and got up from his bed to see who had bothered him.

Walking out from his room, Haruyuki looked at the screen inside the corridor near the entrance door to see who had pressed the bell of his apartment, however, he was a bit surprised when he saw that it was his new neighbor. .

”K, Kasugano-kun?”

Haru noticed Haruyuki who was right on the door and quickly said, ”Haruyuki, have you eaten dinner? I've cooked too much, do you want some?” He showed a plate of mapo tofu in front of the door camera of Haruyuki's apartment.

Looking at Haru, Haruyuki sighed. He had known him a few days ago since Haru's identity was very unique. He had seen Haru's parents who had a harem and also Haru's siblings which made him quite speechless. He also knew that Haru was also studying at the university and meant that Haru was very smart. He didn't understand why Haru cared for someone like him.

But...

”Gulp...”

*Growl...*

Haruyuki had to admit that the food which was made by Haru was very awesome. He recalled when Haru had given him food and couldn't forget the taste at that time.

”Hello Haruyuki? Are you there?”

”Ah, ah, yes!”

Haruyuki opened the door and he was hit by a sharp aroma from the mapo tofu.

*Growl....*

Haruyuki's stomach was rumbling very loud which made him blush somehow. ”I, I'm sorry...”

Haru smiled and said, ”Well, it's alright. It means that my food is good enough for you to anticipate it.” He gave the mapo tofu to Haruyuki and said, ”I've got something to do now. You can give me the plate tomorrow.” He knew that Haruyuki didn't really want to be bothered and decided to give him some space.

”Thank you....”

Haruyuki sighed in relief when he heard Haru's words. He also didn't really want anyone to see his state right now. He took the mapo tofu and looked at Haru who went back after saying goodbye to him. He closed the door and walked to the dining room to eat mapo tofu and white rice which Haru had given to him.

Placing the dish on the table, Haruyuki took a chopstick and sat down. He clapped his hands and said, ”Thank you for the meal.” He started to eat mapo tofu with gusto since he was very hungry.

”It's spicy!”

Haruyuki felt that his tongue was burning, but he didn't stop and tears flowed down from his eyes. He wasn't sure why he was crying, but he kept eating the mapo tofu even though it was very spicy yet it was delicious.

”It's delicious...”

Haruyuki didn't have a sibling, but somehow he felt that Haru was similar to an older brother even though their age was similar.

'Sibling, huh...?'

Suddenly Haruyuki also wanted to have a father who had a harem since he felt that it was better than a father who had abandoned him after all.

Haru went back to his condo and knew that cake was a bit strange to be given to someone when they were depressed, especially when he wanted to help Haruyuki on diet. Then he thought to give him mapo tofu since it didn't have that many calories and it was very delicious but spicy.

Spicy food had a good benefit to fasten metabolism and that meant it would also promote weight loss.
