20 The disastrous life of Kirisaki Chitoge

"Ah, Iwashita. Damn, the Onoyomi and Kunyomi are a mystery. Iwashita-san is a girl with a ponytail. She belongs to the tennis club, she is energetic, cheerful and talks to me a lot. You may be interested if I talk about sports. . " Chitoge was writing in a small notebook.

"Suzumo ... Suzuki-san has brown hair and belongs to the horticulture club. She is calm, kind, and likes coffee with milk. Next time, I'll be the one to talk to you!" Chitoge said with a smile.

With all this, Chitoge put all his objects in his backpack and left the school. It was a bit late and most of the people had left, so I had to be a little careful.

As she walked near a dark alley, she heard a metallic sound.

Chitoge turned to see what had caused the sound and was surprised to see a dog crawling out of a garbage can.

Chitoge's heart broke at the scene so she carried the puppy in her arms.

The dog had a gray coat, and it was a puppy, so it was very young. It looked malnourished and had a few broken legs.

Chitoge thought about taking him home, but they didn't have dog food there, so she approached someone to ask where the nearest convenience store was.

An old woman pointed out the closest way to a convenience store and Chitoge ran up to it.

[Onodera Japanese sweet shop.]

Chitoge was surprised to see the name of the store, but what impressed her the most was seeing Ukake leave the store. Ukake had some shopping bags with what appeared to be food ingredients.

Ukake's appearance was as if he had just taken a bath. It was a bit damp and his hair was dripping a little water. The humidity made his tank top stick a little to his skin, revealing his well-defined muscles.

Chitoge blushed a little.

"Hello, Kirisaki-san." Greeting Ukake.

"Hello, Amamiya-san." Greeting back Chitoge.

"I see you have a puppy. It seems to have a broken left leg." Ukake said using the few skills he had in medicine.

"Oh yeah, I found it in the trash ... I came to buy dog ​​food," Chitoge said.

"I see, fine, I'll accompany you," Ukake said entering the store again.

Ukake chose the best dog food they had in the store.

"Ukake-Kun, at the store again ... Dog food?" Nanako asked.

"Yes, I'm going to help a friend," Ukake said.

"I see, good luck with that," Nanako said giving the change to Ukake.

"Thanks." Ukake thanked and left.

"Let's go to my house, I can help a little with the dog's paw," Ukake said walking to his house.

"W-Wait!" Chitoge would probably disagree, but it was too late to argue with Ukake.

...

"Shouldn't be here ..." Chitoge whispered as she entered Ukake's house.

"I'm home!" Ukake said, but no one answered.

"You are alone?" Chitoge asked even more concerned than before.

She had never been in a man's house, as well as being alone in a house, but this was the least of her worries. The fact that someone knew that they came to another boy's house, and with no one but the two of them, could trigger war.

"Yes, my uncles are probably in a motel," Ukake said sincerely.

Chitoge wasn't stupid, she knew why people with a house used a motel.

"Today is your anniversary." Ukake clarified though it didn't change the fact.

"You can make yourself comfortable, I'll go get some things in my room," Ukake said coming up the stairs.

At that time Chitoge analyzed Ukake's house a bit. The most impressive thing was that they had a Katana hanging in the living room.

Ukake went downstairs next to what appeared to be a medical kit.

Ukake approached Chitoge to check on the puppy, and Chitoge was a bit uncomfortable in this situation, so she preferred to break the ice by asking a few questions.

"Is that Katana a family heirloom or something?" Chitoge asked.

Ukake laughed a little.

"No. My fiancee gave it to me." Ukake said laughing.

"W-WHAT !?" The news that Ukake was engaged in seemed shocking.

The only person that came to Chitoge's mind was Kokomi, but she said she was just a friend of Ukake.

"Are you engaged?"

"I'm just kidding, I have no idea what kind of relationship I have with the person who gave me the Katana," Ukake said with a smile.

Chitoge sighed in relief, that meant Kokomi still had a chance.

"Hum..."

"What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"No, it doesn't actually seem to be too bad, but it probably hurts for him," Ukake said as he took out a syringe.

"Are you going to inject him with something?" Chitoge asked a little concerned.

"Yes, it has a laceration that is most likely infected, I must disinfect it and it probably hurts a lot, so I'll put him to sleep," Ukake said.

"I see..."

"Could you hold it? I don't want it to move."

"Sure," Chitoge said as she held the puppy tightly to prevent it from moving.

Ukake injected Diazepam into the animal and this caused it to fall asleep in no time.

Ukake disinfected the wound that the animal had and had to close the wound by cooking.

"You are very good at this ... Did you plan to be a vet?" Chitoge asked.

"No, but I still like to learn new things, so I know a lot."

"Your paw should be fine in about 2 or 4 days."

"Thank you very much Amamiya-san."

"No need to. The puppy will wake up in about an hour."

"Well, then I better go home now," Chitoge said.

"Don't you want dinner? I can cook pretty well." Ukake said as he walked into the kitchen.

Chitoge was supposed to go but felt an urge to stay when Ukake said he knew how to cook well.

"Well, what will you prepare today?" Chitoge asked.

Ukake smiled at the question.

"Yakiniku." That was all he said, and mysteriously, Chitoge was sitting at the table waiting for the food.

Ukake started to make food, but Chitoge seemed to remember something.

"You said you could help me with my homework, right?" Chitoge asked.

"Yes."

"I have trouble with Japanese, it would be great if you could help me with my homework."

"Sure, I like to help," Ukake said.

...

"Thanks for the food," Chitoge said, bursting with energy.

"Thanks to you for joining me for lunch, today would probably be a very boring day if you hadn't been here," Ukake said with a smile.

WOOF

The puppy started barking.

"Looks like it's already woken up. Let's give him food." Ukake said standing up.

On a small plate, he served him the dog food.

"Why don't you give him yakiniku too?" Chitoge asked.

"It's a dog that hasn't eaten anything in a long time, if you feed him that, he'll probably end up vomiting," Ukake said.

"I did not know, I did not know it..."

The dog ate all the food and feeling satisfied, it fell asleep again.

Chitoge seeing the time was quickly alarmed.

"I have to go!" Chitoge yelled.

"Wait, the city falls are cold and dangerous at night," Ukake said taking two coats.

Ukake put one on and gave the other to Chitoge.

"T-thank you." Chitoge put it on quickly and left the house.

"You don't need to go with me," Chitoge said.

Ukake simply shook his head.

"I can't let such a beautiful girl go down the street alone, can I?" Ukake said with a smile.

"D-Don't say such embarrassing things ..." Chitoge said hiding her face in her coat.

Chitoge was a little embarrassed, it was plain and simple that, plus it was also the first time she had eaten at someone other than her family's home.

"If only he was like you, my life would be a little more bearable ..." Chitoge said in an almost imperceptible whisper, but Ukake could hear.

...

Ukake accompanied Chitoge to the train station.

"Thanks for joining me," Chitoge said leaning slightly and trying to take off her coat to return it.

"It is not necessary, you can have it, I have many," Ukake said.

Chitoge didn't decline, it was actually a bit cold.

Chitoge had a very cute face at the time. She was going through many things that she always wanted to do, but never had a chance to do them.

Ukake noticed a bit of shame and excitement that Chitoge had at finally having accomplished some of the things on the list that he had always wanted to do.

"Haha."

"What are you laughing at," Chitoge asked as he saw Ukake's amused expression.

"It's nothing. Your boyfriend is lucky to have someone so funny." Ukake said as he started to walk home, he had already seen that Chitoge's train was about to arrive.

"H-Hey!" Chitoge felt the need to berate Ukake but it was late.

"Tomorrow you will see," She said with an annoyed but tender expression.

Chitoge got on the train, but when she went through his things she realized that she did not have the notebook where she had written down the things that others liked.

She realized that she had probably left them at Ukake's house, she was going to run to get her notebook back, but the train closed its doors.

"No!" Chillo Chitoge.

She prayed Ukake didn't find that notebook.
