Chapter 89
After school, Minami Yuuki hurried back to the Asano residence, thinking about his paper cranes.
When she handed them over, Asano Nao looked exhausted.
She was a night owl who often only slept a little at night or sometimes stayed up all night until morning, making breakfast and lunch for Yuuki before sleeping.
Yuuki guessed that this sudden paper crane business severely disrupted her sleep.
Taking the box of paper cranes, he felt a pang of guilt. The thought of continuing to trouble Nao like this deepened his guilt.
The idea of giving in to her desire crossed his mind again, but he quickly dismissed it.
Using himself as compensation felt too much like an adult comic plot—better to use Chitose Kazumi as compensation.
Even in Ibuki Yuko’s simulated life, Chitose Kazumi and Asano Nao could become close friends, indicating they were natural besties.
Bringing her a natural bestie while asking for some paper cranes didn’t seem like too much to ask, Yuuki reasoned, easing his conscience.
