A Family of Yandere Witches Living in Modern Day Won’t Let Me Go - Chapter 7

“Ah.”

“Ah♪”

The morning after too much happened.

I couldn’t forget what happened yesterday, but I still had to go to school today, so I couldn’t just stay at home.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Ria at the entrance across the street.

“Good morning…”

“Good morning♪”

Ah, seeing a beautiful girl first thing in the morning is overwhelming. I can’t die without any regrets.

“Ugh…”

Damn it, what I was worried about has become clear.

It’s because I met Aria again yesterday… and had quite a stimulating interaction with her. I couldn’t help but be conscious of Ria.

Through Ria, I saw those kind eyes… like a witch living in the modern world… that Aria.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

“?? Oh, speaking of which, you met my grandmother yesterday.”

My heart skipped a beat, but Ria smiled.

“My grandmother was so excited, like a child. She said she had the best encounter since moving here.”

“………”

It seems Aria told Ria and the others about it.

I can’t believe Aria was that happy about our encounter… I’m really glad.

“Um, Ria…”

“What is it? You look very serious…”

Of course, I’d have a serious look.

“I’m about to ask something rude… It’s my fault for saying this, but please don’t hate me.”

“Of course not. What is it that’s so hard to ask?”

I took a deep breath and said the words.

“Just to confirm… Aria is your grandmother, right?”

“Yes, but… oh, you mean she doesn’t look her age!”

Oh, she said it out loud.

What Ria said was exactly what I wanted to ask, even though it lacked delicacy and could make her hate me… but I couldn’t help being overwhelmingly curious!

“Hmm… I can tell you, but it’s a bit difficult to decide alone. It would be better if my mother and grandmother were here.”

“It sounds like there’s an unusual reason.”

“Yes, it’s not a normal thing— You’d have to be prepared to look into the abyss.”

“?!”

The abyss… Her dark eyes pierced me, and I visibly shuddered and took a step back.

She quickly apologized for scaring me, but it was clearly not an ordinary atmosphere… I decided not to ask now… It doesn’t seem like something to ask lightly.

“Well, shall we go?”

“…Yeah.”

We started walking together.

But along the way, I looked back—there was Aria, dressed differently from yesterday, waving alongside Sena.

I reflexively waved back… It felt terribly nostalgic.

As soon as I got to school, I talked with Sho, who had arrived earlier.

“By the way, you don’t know this since you just got here.”

“Know what?”

“Inoue transferred.”

“…What?”

Inoue… transferred!?

I wondered why, but thinking about the trouble involving Ria yesterday, I was relieved that a troublesome person was gone.

“…Huh, am I this cold-hearted?”

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“No…”

Maybe I can talk to Sho about this.

“Suddenly transferring means something must have happened, right? He was at school yesterday, but today he’s suddenly gone.”

“Yeah, probably.”

“Because of what happened yesterday… I felt relieved that he’s gone.”

“Haha… You’re kind.”

“Huh?”

Kind… me?

I expected to be called cold-hearted, but Sho’s unexpected words surprised me.

“Before getting involved with the new transfer student, Inoue already had a lot of bad rumors. So, feeling relieved is not wrong… I called you kind because you thought of yourself as cold-hearted.”

“I see.”

I get it now.

Even though I don’t think of myself as kind, hearing Sho say that cleared some of the confusion in my heart.

“By the way, you really seem to have gotten close to that girl.”

“Well, a lot happened.”

“I’m curious about that, but I won’t pry into boys’ and girls’ business.”

“Thanks.”

“Sure.”

After all, the best part of school life is having a trustworthy friend.

While talking with Sho, I was also subtly keeping an eye on Ria.

Since it was the next day, many people surrounded her, but no one approached her like Inoue did yesterday. Everyone kept an appropriate distance, not wanting to bother her.

“Hehe.”

“What?”

“Today’s PE, right?”

“Yeah, so?”

“PE in the gym with girls… You know what that means!”

“Oh…”

Because it’s been hot lately, PE is in the gym.

Last time, boys and girls were separated by half of the gym, so it’ll probably be the same this time… And Sho wants to see Ria, right?

“She doesn’t look like a high schooler… I really want to see her in gym clothes!”

“I can’t deny I feel the same.”

Time flew by quickly.

As expected, PE was indoors for both boys and girls, so I exercised and enjoyed the visual reward—watching Ria.

“She’s amazing.”

Her movements were… incredible.

There are other girls with good figures in our class, but none of them were like Ria.

It wasn’t just me watching… I mean, having someone like Ria in high school would definitely drive anyone in puberty crazy.

“Touya~! Want to play volleyball with us? We’re short on people!”

“Me?”

“Well, I just want to play with you! But we really are short on people! So, come on over!”

Again, a voice that shouldn’t be familiar… Aria’s voice echoed in my mind.

Why am I hearing it now… Is it related to seeing Ria play volleyball… I think so.

“Ah.”

At that moment, I made eye contact with Ria, who was taking a break.

She waved, and I waved back… Sho, next to me, nudged my shoulder and grinned.

“Showing off, huh… But I think she’s a solid H-cup.”

“Stop it.”

“I’m not teasing her or anything, so it’s fine.”

Well, as long as he’s not teasing her and she can’t hear, it’s fine.

“So, H-cup, right? What’s your opinion?”

“H… Definitely H.”

“An H-cup, huh… We need to look out for her. It’s only been a day, and she’s already famous among the seniors.”

Of course… Ria will become more famous, for better or worse.

Having met her, I hope nothing bad happens, but if it does, I’ll protect her.

“What are you two talking about, huddled together?”

“Huh?”

“What?!”

Why…?

Raising our heads quickly, Sho and I were surprised to see Ria in front of us.

Sweating from exercise, her hair stuck to her skin in an attractive way.

“Watch out, Saionji!”

“Huh—ah?!”

“Whoa?!”

After the scream, a volleyball flew toward Ria.

She tried to dodge but ended up falling onto me.

“Mph?!”

I fell over, and Ria fell on top of me.

Her ample bosom pressed against my face, and I inhaled her scent from her sweaty gym clothes.

“Mm…ph”

Of course, I immediately got up in a panic and asked her to move.

(Didn’t that ball move unnaturally?)

For a moment, I thought that, but Ria’s blushing gaze made me forget it… For now, I’ll apologize profusely.
