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 - Chapter 9: Present

Chapter 9: Present

“Haa…”

On Friday afternoon, I sighed in the car that came to pick me up.

This week… I really want to pat myself on the back. Despite being in an unfamiliar environment, I was able to overcome it safely with Arisu’s help.

“Young master, are you sure it’s okay?”

“What do you mean?”

The driver is a veteran servant of the Izayoi family.

Sakuragi-san is an old man, but he’s an incredibly handsome old man and a very capable person.

In response to Sakuragi’s question, I tilted my head.

“I mean Arisu-sana. After parting like that…”

“Oh… I see.”

Oh, that’s what he meant, and I shuddered.

Today, as usual, Arisu tried to come to my house, but as I said before, I wanted to buy her a present, so I refused… but she probably never thought she’d be refused, so she grabbed my shoulder tightly and asked me blankly why, and I was scared.

“In this case, it couldn’t be helped… If I’m going to buy Arisu a present, there’s no surprise if she’s right there.”

“I see, that makes sense. But isn’t this the first time you’ve bought a present for Arisu-sama?”

“Yes…”

Now, what should I buy…? I already know what to get.

This is completely based on manga knowledge, but Arisu loves cute stuffed animals, and her bed is filled with dolls.

However, surprisingly, the protagonist never gave Arisu a stuffed animal as a present, and Arisu herself never openly expressed her love for stuffed animals.

“Is there a good store around here?”

“Hmm… Well, there’s a store where I bought a present for my great-grandchild…”

Ohh, he has a great-grandchild… That’s not really surprising I guess.

“You really have changed, young master.”

“Well, I lost my memory for about half a year. It’s not strange for someone’s personality to change after such a rare experience.”

“Haha, let’s just leave it at that then”

Sakuragi-san, who I caught eye with through the mirror, looked genuinely happy.

Maybe because he’s lived longer than me, small lies don’t seem to work on him… I also feel like he might see through everything.

Still, I’m confident in my ability to stick to my lies and bluffs… And I’m grateful for Akito’s face, which doesn’t show my agitation.

“This is the store.”

“Thank you.”

We soon arrived at the store, and I picked up the stuffed animal I had in mind.

A stuffed rabbit… Any girl would think it’s cute, right!?

At this point, my experience in choosing gifts for women comes into play, but if it looks cute at first glance, wouldn’t that be the right choice?

“Let’s go with this one!”

The stuffed animal is quite expensive… But for me now, it’s not a big deal.

Of course, this happiness is something only Akito can obtain… If I were still the way I was before, this would have been a big deal.

“Thank you very much!”

After finishing the payment, I returned to the car where Sakuragi was waiting.

I thought today’s schedule was over, and all I had to do was go home, but on the way, I spotted a familiar face.

“Hmm? Is that…?”

“Oh, it’s Amane-san.”

Through the window, I saw Amane-san with a group of men and women who I assumed were her university friends. She was flustered and laughing awkwardly.

“I thought today was the day she was going to visit her brother after university class is over.”

“I heard that too.”

So, her flustered appearance must be because of that.

Sakuragi-san must have been thinking the same thing, and we nodded at each other… But I didn’t say anything, and Sakuragi-san, who smiled like a hitman, pulled the car up next to them.

“I’ll be right back.”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

As I got out of the car, all eyes in the group turned to me.

“Wow…”

“Wow, he’s so handsome.”

“Why did he stop here?”

Do people in this world not know how to have a secret conversation?

Anyway, as I got closer, Amane-san finally noticed me and opened her eyes wide.

“Akito-sama…?”

“Yeah, just in time, Amane-san.”

I called out to Amane-san, making sure to appear composed.

Even as I cringed at the overly sweet tone of my own voice, I took Amane-san’s hand and gently pulled her toward me.

“I’m sorry, but her schedule is already booked.”

“Huh…?”

“But…”

“Who the hell are you?”

Who the hell are you? Of course, I almost said I was Amane-san’s master, but I stopped myself.

Before I could come up with something appropriate, Amane-san was too honest and revealed our relationship.

“He’s my master.”

At her words, it felt like the world stopped.

Leaving them stunned, I couldn’t stand the atmosphere any longer, so I brought Amane-san into the car.

“Oh, Sakuragi-san…”

“Good work, Amane-san. I was just picking up the young master.”

“Oh, I see.”

“As soon as we saw Amane-san looking troubled, the young master jumped out like that.”

“Akito-sama…”

“Oh… Well, that’s what happened.”

It was a little embarrassing, but I didn’t need to hide it.

Amane-san’s gaze was one of respect, but it was also a gaze I didn’t need, and it made me feel ticklish.

“You were going to the hospital, right?”

“Oh, that’s right! I just met these guys… Since I don’t talk much about my family, they were trying to keep me from leaving.”

“Well, that worked out well. Let’s go to the hospital now.”

“Akito-sama… Thank you so much!”

It’s fine, I waved my hand.

Then, under Sakuragi’s driving, we headed to the hospital, and at Amane-san’s request, we met her brother, and her mother was there, so we greeted her.

“Is my daughter being of any help to you?”

“She helps me every day. Now, I can’t even imagine a moment without Amane-san.”

“Akito-sama…?”

“Onee-chan is amazing!”

After that exchange, Amane-san left with her mother.

“How was it?”

“Her brother seemed to be doing well. I also happened to meet her mother, and I told her that Amane-san helps me every day.”

“I’m sure she was pleased to hear that.”

By the way, Amane-san is apparently going to work overnight from tomorrow until Monday… It’s happened a few times before, but her determination is incredible, or maybe it’s because I’ve become friends with Amane-san that I can see this side of her.

“Arisu-sama is also coming tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, things will somehow work out.”

“?”

What’s with that mysterious way of speaking?

Anyway, the task for today seems to be to figure out how to give the present.
