After Capturing and Confining a Beautiful Yandere Stalker Girl, I Somehow Started a Sweet Life With Her - 19

Chapter 19: The Kiss That I Initiated

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Ehehehe… Hehehehe…. ♡ Together with A-kun… Together with A-kun… Hehehe… Fufufu…♡”

We totally looked like a couple. We absolutely looked like a couple. Even though we were already inside the campus, Neiko-san was still holding onto my arm tightly as we walked.

“It’s a nice day today, isn’t it, A-kun…?♡”

“Y-Yeah… haha…”

“I’m not usually a big fan of sunny days, but when A-kun is by my side, it feels totally different. I feel so bright and cheerful. Just like this sunny day～…♡”

“Uh, yeah… sorry, Neiko-san… That was an incredibly cheesy line, but because of my current situation, I can’t feel anything much right now. Ah, my face feels so warm because of the embarrassment…”

“Ahhh…♡♡♡ Haa… Haa…♡♡♡ You’re blushing… A-kun is actually blushing while being with me…♡♡♡ Ehehehehe… so cute… cute, cute, cute, cute, cute～♡♡♡”

“Ugh…”

I tried to tell myself to not feel embarrassed, but of course it was impossible. Sure, there were plenty of couples walking around campus, but for some reason people seemed to be paying extra attention to us. I could feel people glancing our way when we walked by. Maybe it was because Neiko-san was so beautiful, or maybe because we looked so mismatched that we stood out among the crowd in an awkward way. I had no idea which, but either way, the attention was downright mortifying. My motto in life was to stay as unnoticeable as possible and right now, my life couldn’t be more opposite. I was seriously troubled by this. 

Furthermore, Neiko-san was leaning on me as we walked, making it even harder to walk straight. 

“…But still, there are a lot of people on the campus. The Humanities Department area is always crowded around the third period, but I didn’t know it was like this at the Nutrition Department too…”

“You’re right…. I doubt I would come to class if I’m not with you, A-kun… I don’t do well in crowds…”

“Same here… I feel the same way when I’m at the train stations… I guess growing up in the countryside is making it even harder for me to get used to the crowds.”

“Aaah, I get it. I totally get it… I grew up in a pretty rural town too. I barely ever used trains before I got to university. Even now, I still feel nervous every time I need to board the train. I can’t stop worrying that I might end up boarding the wrong train or going in the opposite direction of my destination…”

“Uwahh… I feel the same. I barely used trains back in my hometown, so I’m still not used to them. Honestly, I still don’t fully understand the bus routes either. You know how there are buses that run from here to the downtown area? Yeah, I never really know which one goes where, and I often end up worrying that I might get on the wrong bus.”

We both sighed deeply, only to glance at each other and burst into small laughs. We both came from the countryside. This was our first time in the big city. Two first year students from the countryside, living alone… Yeah. Everything felt like a whole new world to us. So many things still confused us.

“Oh, speaking of being from the countryside, I always think everyone in the city looks so stylish.”

“Yeah, me too, me too! I only wear things to my liking, so I’m always a bit overwhelmed by how stylish everyone looks.”

“No, no. Neiko-san, you look stylish too! You blend right in with everyone else here. From my perspective, you’re really fashionable and… U-Umm… Be-Beautiful…”

Neiko-san’s cheeks immediately flushed a clear shade of red. Her mouth loosened in a dreamy smile as her breathing grew strangely shallow, almost suspiciously so. I felt my own cheeks tighten awkwardly, but since I’d already praised her, I couldn’t just take it back, so I went on.

“Yo-You see, even compared to other girls on campus, you’re..”

But before I could finish my sentence, Neiko-san tightened her grip on my arm. Something felt off… Her eyes had lost all their brightness and the usual unsettling expression on her face returned. 

“…A-kun…? Just now… What did you say again…?”

“Huh…?! Huh…?!”

The aura around her… Suddenly her whole aura turned dangerous. People passing by looked clearly scared at her too. They immediately quickened their pace to avoid us. This dark aura… It was almost like she had stepped into some sort of dark realm. It was downright terrifying. 

“I-I mean… Ne-Neiko-san, you look more stylish compared to other girls around here… Whaaa-?!”

With a whoosh, the dark—not just dark but deeply ominous—vibe around her grew even more intense. I felt like I had just stepped on a big landmine, but I had no clue what I had done wrong. 

“…No… Can’t…”

“Huh…?”

“…I’ll do… Anything… So…”

“Ne-Neiko-san…?’

Her grip on my arm tightened, and not just that—it felt like something even stronger was looming behind her. She pushed me from the side, steering me toward a quieter spot along the wall of the building. Few people passed this place. I found myself on the receiving end of the infamous ‘kabedon’ position with Neiko-san looking up at me through teary eyes. 

“A-kun… I… I’ll do anything… Just, please… Don’t look at anyone else…”

“…Huh?”

“Don’t look at any other girls… Just… Keep your eyes on me… Forever and forever…”

“Uh… um…”

“I’ll show you anything… Even my embarrassing side… Anything you want… I will show it to you, so please… Just keep looking at me…”

My heart tightened at her words. I stood there, too stunned to speak. Neiko-san leaned closer until there was barely any distance between us. We were close enough to kiss.

“A-kun… A-kun, A-kun, A-kun… I’m begging you… Only me… Only look at me…”

At that moment, I decided. I covered her mouth with my hand for a moment, then I quickly scanned the area. No one was watching us. No one seemed to realize we were here even. After I deemed the coast was clear, I removed my hand from her and pressed my lips against hers. Our lips touched. It wasn’t anything passionate. No bold moves or anything advanced. I only pressed my lips to her lips for a few seconds before pulling away. 

“Fue…? Huh…? Eh…?”

Neiko-san was blushing all the way to her ears, looking completely dazed. I was embarrassed enough to feel like my own face might burst into flames, but pushing through that feeling, I leaned in close and whispered in her ear.

“I’m sorry, Neiko-san… I was wrong… I shouldn’t have compared you to other people…”

Neiko-san’s body was trembling, but I went on regardless. 

“I won’t do it again… I won’t say anything like that again, so please… Don’t cry. I’m begging you…”

“A-…. A-kun…”

“I… Well… I don’t have any intention to look at anyone else but you anyway… My eyes are only for you, Neiko-san…”

“…!”

“Because… Well, I’m confining you with me, so… So of course I need to keep an eye on you…”

“…”

“That’s why… I…”

But before I could finish speaking, the bell signaling the start of the class rang, snapping me out of the dream-like haze I had been in.

“Huh…?! A-kun? Just now… What were you going to say again…?!”

“Ugh…!’

“A-kun???’

Neiko-san stared at me, looking confused. However, I refused to say anything else. Instead, I took her hand and ran, leading us away from that spot. We had to get to Neiko-san’s class and then… I could tell her the rest of my sentence afterward. 

She reluctantly let herself be dragged by me and we hurriedly entered the large lecture hall. Fortunately, we managed to get to the class right on time.
