After Capturing and Confining a Beautiful Yandere Stalker Girl, I Somehow Started a Sweet Life With Her - 18

Chapter 18: My Body Consists of Your Cooking

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After finishing my second period class, I decided to head back to my apartment for a bit. Third period wouldn’t start until 1:45 PM. There was an hour-long lunch break on campus before the third period started. The students and professors were free to head to the cafeteria in the meantime or buy something from the campus shop or maybe visit the nearby restaurants for lunch. Before I started keeping Neiko-san confined, I usually would eat alone in the cafeteria or bring something back from the convenience store like rice balls to eat in my apartment. Needless to say, I did everything on my own.

I once sat alone at a cafeteria table to eat lunch and then, there was a lovey dovey couple sitting right next to me. They started feeding each other lovingly with “Ahhh~ ♡” I remembered how I was crying on the inside watching those exchanges.  They must be demons. Demons in the shape of lovey dovey couple, who were trying to make the bland cafeteria food tasted better by using my loneliness as an additional side dish. I wished they would stop doing that out in the open. Remembering it still made me feel like tearing up even now. Good grief. I really had gone through a lot. 

Unable to stand watching the lovey dovey couple flirting with each other right in front of me, I tried to leave as quickly as possible, practically shoveling food into my mouth. This caused a grain of rice to get stuck in my throat, making me cough wildly. Everyone around me gave me these cold, judgmental looks, and, yeah, that was embarrassing. 

Why did I have to go through that? I’m just an innocent lonely guy.

It wasn’t “I feel like crying” anymore. I was literally wiping my tears as I walked back home alone.

Good job, me. You did well, me.

Remembering the past made me teared up a bit. I sniffled and wiped my eyes on my sleeve when my phone buzzed. I got a new LIMA MESSAGE. It must be Neiko-san. I tapped on my phone to stop the flood of notifications and quickly opened the chat. 

『I made some simple rice balls with furikake for lunch! But… I’m sorry, I went and cooked the rice at home without asking. Please scold me for acting without permission, even though I’m just a useless confined stalker girl. I will accept any punishment from you, Master…』

The message from Neiko-san came with a photo of perfectly shaped rice balls, neatly arranged on a plate.

I almost teared up again. 

What perfect timing. Is this girl an actual angel or something? I mean, sure, she’s a bit weird and yeah, about 2/3 of her message is a bit unsettling, but…

『Ah. Master, please look! Look! I tried to hatch a pokemon in the game and I managed to get a shiny pokemon! 』

The moment Neiko-san saw I had ‘read’ her message, she started pouring endless amounts of messages to me. As expected from Neiko-san. She must be keeping the chat open, waiting for my reply… Or to be precise, for the ‘read’ mark to appear since I hadn’t replied yet. She looked like a stalker, lying in wait for her target to exit the store. 

『Kyaaaa! So cute! I want to raise it with lots and lots of love, but… I suddenly thought. What if… What if I had a baby with Master…? 』

“….”

『Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! If I really had a baby with Master, I’d die! I’d die, I’d die, I’d die!!! Just imagining it is enough to make me go crazyyyyyyy!! 』

“…”

『OUR BABY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE SO SO SO SO SO SO SO CUTE!! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLEEEE! What should we name it if it’s a boy?! What about if it’s a girl?!?! Ahhhhhh!! I’m torn!! I’m so tornnnnn!!!! 』

“….”

『I’m literally rolling around in the room because I can’t decide! A-kun, I WUV YOUUUU!! I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOU, I WUV YOUUUUU!! Please come back quickly!!! 』

“…”

『Haah… Haah… Haah…Haah…Haah…♡♡♡♡♡ Ah! I found a strand of A-kun’s hair whiel rolling around! This is my 152th hair! ♡』

I’m going home. Right now. 

I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if I let her free in my room any longer than this. I stopped walking for a bit to read Neiko-san’s message, but it was time for me to return home soon. I ran to my apartment with all of my might. Messages kept pouring in while I ran, but I ignored them all. When I opened the front door, I expected Neiko-san to be sprawled out, doing something outrageous, but…

“Oh…! Welcome back, A-kun…!”

It turned out, Neiko-san wasn’t doing anything like that. Neiko-san was in the kitchen, making something. Her beautiful long hair was tied in a ponytail and she was wearing a floral apron. The moment she saw me, her eyes lit up with that familiar alluring sparkle. Her cheeks flushed pink as she happily waddled over to me. I originally planned on scolding her right away, but this sight left me feeling dumbfounded. I honestly thought that she must be wearing my underwear at least, or something equally unhinged. 

“Welcome back… Welcome back… A-kun…♡ Ehehehe…♡”

Clasping her hands in front of her chest, Neiko-san swayed happily from side to side in front of me. No. I shouldn’t let myself be swayed by her cuteness. I knew I shouldn’t, but I found myself completely entranced by Neiko-san. I couldn’t reprimand her. In fact, I was fidgeting as. Neiko-san leaned in closer to peek at my face with upturned eyes.

What is it now…?

“Umm… A-kun…? Just like what I messaged you, I’m sorry for cooking the rice in your house without asking. I’m in the middle of making a simple miso soup right now. I thought we could eat it together for dinner.”

“Ah… Ye-Yeah… Tha-Thank you…”

“I cooked the rice in your house without your permission, so… If you want to punish me, then please tell me! I will gladly… No, I mean, I will graciously accept any punishment you bestow me! I will be sure to reflect on my actions!”

Even though her eyebrows were creased together, but her eyes were sparkling with the usual murky light. This part of her remained the same… It remained the same, but…!

“Wa-Wait! Wait a minute, Neiko-san! Stay!! Stay!!”

“Yes…! Woof! Woof! What is it, A-kun?”

Her ponytail swayed back and forth, making her look just like a little puppy. It was so cute that I let out a strange “Ngh…!”  sound. I cleared my throat and composed myself again before I opened my mouth. 

“I saw your outrageous messages… About the hundred and something hairs… The heart and the one where you said you were rolling around in my room.”

“Yes…! Yes…! I definitely sent those!”

She puffed out her chest, looking smug for some reason. I couldn’t stop my cheeks from twitching. I let out a deep sigh at her antics. 

“A-Anyway, can you please stop sending me those kind of messages? Neiko-san, do you remember the reason why I confined you here?”

“Duhehehe…. So we can have a sweet cohabitation life…♡ Just the two of us…♡ Then, we can flirt all we want…♡”

“Alright. You’re off the mark.”

“Then… To practice for our future newlywed life…?”

“No! That’s not it either, okay? I know you know the answer, so please! Give me a proper answer!”

“I got it! To practice our Master-Servant roleplay!”

“WRONGGG!! TOTALLY WRONG!!! Also, don’t say that confidently!!”

Despite my retorts, Neiko-san kept smiling cheerfully while swaying her hips from side to side. I almost found myself thinking that I should buy her a collar next time. However, putting a collar on her was way too creepy and I had a feeling the collar would excite her even more instead. It was basically ‘the cobbler’s children go barefoot’. I would end up opening a new door I shouldn’t open while trying to make Neiko-san let go of her stalker tendencies. If I ended up being colored by Neiko-san because of this confinement life… Everything I did would be for naught. That was something I had to avoid at all cost. I had to. 

“Geez… Anyway,  Neiko-san, you look a bit happier than usual. Did something good happen?”

I asked and she gave me a beaming smile. It seemed she had been waiting for me to ask her that question. Her smile was so wide, her cheeks were practically melting away. 

“Rather than something that has happened, it’s more precise to say something is about to  happen…!”

“…Ah…”

I get it. I get it now.

“I’m really looking forward to attending the third period class with you, A-kun…! Ahhh! I can’t wait…! Ufufufu…!!”

Neiko-san closed her eyes tightly as she swayed from side to side happily. Seeing how excited she was made me feel a bit bashful. 

Is it really okay for someone like me to sit next to someone as adorable as her in class…?

I was worried about what the people might think and whether I would just cause trouble for Neiko-san… I was really anxious about that. After all, I was just a mediocre background character without any redeeming qualities. 

“….But, Neiko-san… Is it really okay for me to come to the Nutrition class with you? Won’t you get in trouble if we get caught by the professor?”

“It’s going to be fine. The professor for the third period is really easygoing and accepts any student.”

“Is the class in a large lecture hall? Or is it in a smaller room?’

“It’s in a large lecture hall. There’s going to be so many students, so no one will notice A-kun is not part of the Humanities department. Don’t worry!”

“…I see… Well, I guess it should be okay then?”

“Yes…! Just leave everything to me! Leave all your heart and body to me, I will be sure to keep you safe, A-kun…!”

“No, you’re actually making me a bit anxious there… Sorry about that.”

“Whaaat?! Noooo…!!”

While looking somewhat disappointed, Neiko turned off the heat under the bubbling pot. It was a pot of miso soup. She made it from leftover vegetables and it looked delicious.

“Well, that being said…”

“Hm?”

Most probably, I had already entrusted all of my body and heart to Neiko-san. I had eaten what she made so many times and I was about to do it again. I ate the rice balls and miso soup she made before heading to my class. My body consisted of the food that Neiko-san had made for me.
