About the Case of Me Being Reincarnated as a Side Character Who Got Kicked Out Immediately Of The Story, but the Heroine, Who’s My Yandere Fiancée, Won't Leave Me Alone

“…Huh?”

Suddenly, I opened my eyes in a strange sensation.

The scene before me was something nostalgic… the room I used to use before I became Akito.

“This is… a dream?”

A dream… I nodded, certain that’s what it was.

It would probably make more sense to say that going to that world where Arisu and the others live was the dream, but somehow, I feel like I’ve already grown accustomed to life there.

“…Oh?”

As I glanced around, thinking I’d explore if this was a dream, my eyes landed on the Yankano series lined up on the bookshelf.

I picked up the first volume and looked at the cover.

“…She’s still so cute, huh.”

In Yankano, each volume’s cover features a different heroine.

The first volume, of course, has Arisu drawn on it, smiling beautifully… title aside, you’d never guess from this cover alone that she’d turn into a yandere.

“It starts with their meeting, their interactions begin… huh… yeah, it was like this, wasn’t it?”

As I reread the beginning of the first volume, I could see the shifts in Arisu’s heart.

Well, “shifts” might be a strong word. It’s more like she starts feeling something cute toward the lonely protagonist, and every time he thanks her, it becomes a kind of addiction… Hmm, seeing the Arisu I usually interact with, it feels a bit simplistic.

“And then… Akito’s stuff gets brushed off lightly.”

Akito barely gets mentioned.

Arisu’s talk about Akito passes in a fleeting moment, and it’s immediately clear she has no feelings for him whatsoever… but in that single panel, Akito’s screw-ups are so condensed that it’s enough to make you think, Wow, this guy’s a total loser. It’s impressive.

“And… oh, right. That guy shows up from the first volume, doesn’t he?”

The guy who tries to take Arisu away and defile her appears early on.

Normally, he’d be ignored, but the protagonist, desperate to save Arisu who cared for him, runs around, even risking his life without hesitation to rescue her… The story also depicts his struggles and fears in taking action, which is why the protagonist is so well-liked.

“…I wonder what happens with this part.”

Izayoi Akito… I’m still here, and my engagement with Arisu hasn’t been broken off… In fact, you could say our relationship is pretty good.

I’m not yet ready to face my responsibilities or family matters, but if I can’t escape them… if there’s someone supporting me, I feel like I could try. I’m at that stage now.

“Arisu… said she’d support me, didn’t she?”

Arisu’s presence is huge, both in my mind and in my daily life.

To be honest, I hadn’t thought too deeply about it, but if I keep living as Izayoi Akito… will I end up marrying Arisu?

“…What!?”

Looking at Arisu on the cover again, I let out a shout.

This beautiful girl? This girl with such big, sexy breasts? The girl who not only always cares about me but shares my secrets and still says she’ll support me? A girl who, even before awakening as a yandere, is just too perfect as a person, becoming my wife…!?

“I can’t even process this…”

But I guess I’ll have to start thinking about that too.

“Well… that’d be nice, wouldn’t it?”

Whether I’m worthy of Arisu or not, the idea of a girl like her becoming my wife… yeah, that’s something to be happy about.

But… it also feels like a lot of complications would come with it.

“Man… this dream is so realistic.”

Could it be… I’ve returned to my original world?

If I wished to stay in this world, would I be able to remain here, in the world where I originally belonged, without going back…?

“…But this is the world where the real me belongs—”

Just as I was about to continue, someone grabbed my shoulder tightly.

I turned around, wondering what it was, and there was Arisu, her upper body emerging as if she’d torn through space itself.

“Hey, Akito-san? You’re not going to say you want to go back now, are you?”

“Uh, well…”

“That’s absolutely not allowed… Come on, let’s go back.”

She grabbed me with even more force, pulling me roughly.

Before I could let out a surprised cry, I was yanked toward Arisu, and my vision went completely dark.

“!?”

“Oh, you’re awake?”

“…Amane-san?”

The moment I opened my eyes, Amane-san was looking down at me.

“It’s time for me to wake you as usual, but you were in such a deep sleep… even shaking your shoulder didn’t work, so I was calling out to you.”

“…That’s what happened, huh.”

It was a dream… of course it was.

It wasn’t exactly a nostalgic memory, but to see my original world in such a way… and for Arisu to come and drag me back like that… as expected of my fiancée, huh?

“Um… Akito-sama?”

“Yeah?”

“…Is something bothering you?”

“…Huh? What do you mean?”

I tilted my head, wondering what she meant by “bothering.”

Amane-san gently shifted her gaze downward, toward my lower body… and then I realized what was happening to my body.

“!?”

Morning physiology… it was happening in full force.

And since I was reading the manga in my dream, I’d seen some suggestive scenes with Arisu, which might’ve contributed to this…!?

(What is this hellish moment… ughhh!?)

I was already panicking.

There’s no way to brush this off now, but waking me up is Amane-san’s job… No, this is entirely my fault.

“S-sorry, Amane-san… I’d appreciate it if you could just ignore this.”

I tried to salvage the situation with those words.

Amane-san, her face red, nodded as if she’d thought of something, then tightened her expression and continued.

“I am Akito-sama’s dedicated servant. Taking care of Akito-sama is my job, nothing less… which means, I believe, helping with that kind of release is also part of it!”

“W-Wait, Amane-san…!?”

“If you command it, I’d be happy to… um… I don’t have experience, but if it would make Akito-sama feel better!”

“Calm down, Amane-san!!”

I grabbed the shoulders of Amane-san, who was leaning toward me, trying to stop her, but I ended up being pushed down.

Her perfectly shaped face so close, the sensation of her massive chest pressing against me… and then, the sound of the door clicking open.

“Brother? Is something wrong…?”

“…Ah.”

Minato, probably curious about the noise, came into the room and froze, dumbfounded.

(In the eyes of the younger brother entering his brother’s room, he sees his brother pinned down on the bed by a maid… what is this?)

Minato, who had been stunned, suddenly turned red.

“What are you doing!?”

Minato’s voice echoed through the morning… I didn’t know he could yell that loudly, honestly.

For the record, Amane-san apologized profusely, almost groveling, so I told her not to worry about it. I also mentioned that I don’t mind her waking me up in the morning—in fact, I like it.

And then.

“Haha! That actually happened?”

I managed to gloss over the part about my… morning enthusiasm, and when I told Arisu about the chaotic morning, she laughed cheerfully.

Ever since I opened up about myself, Arisu’s attitude has softened even more… or rather, we’ve grown closer than ever, to the point where it’s rare for her not to be by my side.

“Laughing, huh… it was a big deal for me, you know.”

“Sorry, sorry. But doesn’t that just show how close you are with Minato-kun and Amane-san? That’s a great thing.”

“…Yeah, I guess.”

Arisu’s like this, but the gazes she directs at me still have a certain sharpness.

Still, the fact that Arisu knows everything about me seems to be a big source of reassurance for me.

Just having her by my side like this makes me feel at ease, as if she’s always on my side, no matter what.

“Hey, Akito-san.”

“Yeah?”

“I… don’t like it when you disappear on your own.”

“What brought that up all of a sudden?”

“Nothing, just a thought. If you try to disappear on your own, I won’t let anyone complain if I stop you by force, right?”

“???”
