Chapter 12: Love Letter

“Souta, Kaoru’s come to get you!”

I was going to attend school after a break of a few days. Since I’d let Kaoru know, she’d diligently turned up to walk to school together. I put on the school uniform that I’d bought to fit my slightly slimmer body and went down the creaking staircase. Kaoru was waiting for me by the door, but she didn’t seem her usual self.

“S-Souta, is that really you?” asked Kaoru.

“Yep,” I replied. “My diet has started working... Are you all right?”

She clutched at her chest like she was in pain. Had she caught a cold? I asked her, and she was apparently all right. Maybe she was lovestruck with my new handsome appearance? Oh, the trouble with being popular!

While I entertained myself with delusions, I walked a few paces behind Kano as we walked to school, as always. I’d lost weight but was still quite plump, so I’d need to wait a little longer until I could be considered handsome. Just a little longer...

The clear summer sky had brought the temperature to a warm twenty degrees Celsius despite the early hour, cooled by the occasional refreshing morning breeze. I’d sweated heavily during my first day of school on my morning walk despite the freezing weather, and the weight of all my fat had slowed me down. Now, the walk gave me far less trouble.

I was a hundred and seventy centimeters tall at the moment and weighed eighty kilograms on the scale yesterday. While I regretted gaining some weight back after the Volgemurt fight, I couldn’t resist my hunger. However, I’d shed plenty of weight while increasing my muscle mass to improve my body’s balance. The Glutton skill still gave me an insatiable hunger, and my mother tried to fatten me up at every opportunity. I would need an iron will to stick to my diet without giving in to temptation.

Appraising the Glutton skill was one of my three major concerns, including my hunger and getting money. Still, I had no rush and could decide what to do with the skill later.

I followed Kano as we navigated the disorderly mess of school buildings toward the classroom for first-year Class E. When I sat down at my desk, I noticed the rest of the class was staring at me like I was a unicorn.

“Is it just me, or has Piggy lost weight?” one of them said.

“Yeah, he’s more piglet than pig now.”

“Ha ha, you’re saying he’s returned to being a baby then!”

“I, uh, caught a cold,” I said.

My classmates usually ignored me, so it felt awkward to find myself suddenly at the center of their conversation.

Listen guys, I’m a coward and can’t handle you staring at me like that! Yeah, I know how weird it is to lose twenty kilograms in a few days, but still! I thought.

I shrunk in my seat, pretending to read a book, until two sweet angels descended from the heavens and appeared by my desk.

“Hey, Narumi!” greeted Oomiya cheerfully, who had her hair in two braids on either side of her shoulders.
