The Bewitchingly Beautiful Girl I Saved 4 Years Ago Returned to Me, but Now She Is a… Yandere?

n’t help but feel a little anxious.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Huh?”

“I’ve been talking to you for a while now.
What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“…Ah, sorry.
It’s about something here.”

“Oh, I see.
You were a little distracted so I thought you might be in some kind of trouble.”

When I gestured with my hand to indicate that it was nothing, Mura gave a wry smile and patted my shoulder.

“Jeez… you’re a bit mentally weak, aren’t you? It’s about Mitoma-san, isn’t it? That cute kouhai of yours.”

“No, it’s not like that.
It’s something else.”

“Hah! I knew it, it is about that, isn’t it?”

“No, it’s not! And I haven’t become your brother, Mura!”

“Well, then, how about we raise a glass together?”

“No thanks, idiot.”

“What did you say!?”

He’s already on his fifth drink.

Due to the combination of plum wine on the rocks, highball, and watered-down potato shochu, Mura’s high spirits have led him to come over to my side and jump at me.

“C’mon, c’mon! Drink up! You’re the main event starting tomorrow, so forget about it for today!”

“You are not making any sense?”

“Never mind that, come on!”

I was encouraged by this drinking buddy and had a glass of Kahlua milk.

The sweetness and slight smell of alcohol passing through my throat made me feel a little dizzy.

Well, as you can see, unfortunately, I am weak when it comes to alcohol.
At this rate, I might end up vomiting.

And there’s also a kouhai with us.
She was sipping her drink in small amounts in front of her senpai who is still drinking.

Shiina-san, sitting next to me, gazes at Mura, who is a bit out of control due to alcohol, and enjoys her orange juice alone.

“So, what are you planning to do with Mitoma-san, Kazuma?”

“Huh? Nothing, really.”

“That’s not true! Come on, tell us!”

“Well, I’m thinking of touring around with her, at least.”

“Oh! That’s nice!!”

“You guys match!”

“Hahaha, you’re right!”

Shiina blushed when she heard those words.
She seemed to be looking forward to it.

Well, I’m not entirely unexcited either.
After all, this is the first time I get to attend the university festival with a girl, so of course, I’m looking forward to it.

However…

“Are you going to confess to her or what?”

“No way… not really.”

“You heartless b*****d… from what I can tell, she’s head over heels for you.”

“Shut up… just keep it to yourself.”

He was teasing me, but I know that more than anyone else.

After all, she’s the one who confessed to me.

Whether I accept her or not is up to me.

In reality, I haven’t made up my mind yet.

As I took another sip, Shiina-san finished her drink and spoke up.

“Do you think she might be holding back?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, we’ve talked a little bit before, and she seems pure and thoughtful, even more so than me.
She doesn’t really speak her mind, but she’s sensitive and thinks a lot about things.”

At first, I was a little surprised by her sudden words.

After all, it’s about Mitoma-san

She teases me, comes over to my house, and even slept with me the other day.

Can someone like that really be pure?

On the other hand, maybe she’s actually saying what she really thinks…

“She’s doing her best not to hurt you and to make things work out for the best, I’m sure.”

With her calm words, something clicked in my mind.

Come to think of it, that might be true.

Mitoma-san hasn’t really done anything I didn’t like.
Despite all her teasing and advances, she’s never crossed the line.

Rather, she’s been following my lead and trying to make things work out for me.
She even makes me food and jokes around with me.

She’s a kind person.

She might be a yandere, but her feelings are genuine.

“Well…”

“So, if you are thinking about it, please do it seriously, okay?”

At her words, I nodded.

“Alright, let’s drink more!”

“Yeah!”

“Don’t drink too much, okay?”

With that casual conversation, the haze in my mind lifted, albeit just a little bit.
