After Capturing and Confining a Beautiful Yandere Stalker Girl, I Somehow Started a Sweet Life With Her - 20

Chapter 20: A Secret Paper Talk Between Just the Two of Us

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Although the bell had stopped ringing, but Neiko-san and I somehow managed to slip into the large lecture hall where the class was held without any problem. I took the attendance card placed on the table and sat down in an empty seat. Just as I feared, a few people glanced our way. 

What’s happening? Is it that strange for me to be with Neiko-san…? I mean, I’m aware that I’m just a mediocre background character without any redeeming qualities and that I’m a bit of an introvert, but being stared so blatantly like this makes me feel a bit sad… Well, I once considered dyeing my hair to look a bit more stylish, but I don’t think dyed hair will suit my skin tone… Brown or blonde hair doesn’t seem to suit my personality either…

Even though it had been a few minutes since I sat down on the empty seat, but I already found myself holding my head in frustration. On the other hand, Neiko-san, who was sitting next to me, seemed to be staring blankly at nothing. Her face was flushed and it was clear to see her mind was floating elsewhere. I had a rough guess why she was acting like that. It must be because of what I had done to her earlier. 

I… I finally… 

“…”

Upon recalling what I had done earlier, my face quickly became hot. 

I knew it… Doing that out of the blue is really not good, huh…?

I did it on impulse to ease Neiko-san’s bubbling anxiety, but still… A-A kiss… No matter how I thought about it, I really shouldn’t have done that…

N-No! But I didn’t use my tongue or anything! I mean, OF COURSE I didn’t! Putting my tongue in is breaching the line of R18 act and we were in a public space! The university is NOT the place to be doing lewd things! Be-Besides, I’m not in a romantic relationship with Neiko-san! We’re just in some sort of confinement relationship (?)! Thinking back, I don’t think I have the right to kiss her… 

Once again, I found myself holding my head in frustration.

W-What should I do…? Maybe… Deep down in her heart, Neiko-san is horribly shocked by my actions…? I mean… The audacity?? How come someone as mediocre as me had the audacity to place my lips on her sacred lips?? ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

“…”

Just like that, I was staring at the professor at the podium with dead eyes when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. It was Neiko-san. She handed me a piece of paper without saying anything. It seemed she had written something on it and wanted me to read it. I immediately understood her intention and carefully unfolded the neatly folded paper to read it.

What was written there was as follows:

【To A-kun: I’m sorry for getting unnecessarily anxious because of jealousy earlier. I’m seriously reflecting on my actions now.】

She had written me an apology note. Her handwriting looked so adorable. I couldn’t stop myself from staring at her. Neiko-san had the expression of a scolded puppy. She looked dejected. It was clear to see she really regretted her behavior earlier. 

No, no. 

I shook my head to clear my mind and wrote a reply in the empty space on the paper before handing it back to her. Neiko-san took the paper and read it. I only told her that she didn’t need to apologize. After reading it, she slowly shook her head back and forth. Her brows were furrowed. The look in her eyes told me she wanted to say something. I couldn’t help but find this gesture to be unexpectedly cute. Feeling flustered, I averted my gaze from Neiko-san. A moment later, Neiko-san handed me the paper again.

I received it and checked what was written on the paper. 

【I’m still going to apologize! Please let me apologize! Even though A-kun is keeping me confined because I’m not a good girl… Right. A-kun, you can train me more fiercely if you want… It’s fine if you want to spank me while reprimanding me… You can even say something like, ‘It seems you’re not regretting your action at all! You stupid mutt!’ Yeah… I wouldn’t mind that at all…】

….Right.

The sudden shift from what appeared to be an innocent apology to the abyss of forbidden desire made me twitch a bit. She was definitely about to write ‘reward’ instead of ‘reprimanding’… Well, she didn’t say it out loud. I could easily erase it with an eraser or something… 

I was about to sigh when another piece of paper was handed to me. Neiko-san seemed to look even more embarrassed this time. Her ears were bright red and after she handed me the paper, she quickly looked down. 

What could it be? What did she write now…?

【By the way… The way you silenced me earlier… Personally speaking, I really welcome that method with open arms…】

【You can even do something like → “Hey, you mutt. You’re really a stubborn little cur, huh? If you keep saying annoying things like that, I will silence you with a kiss. I will seal that mouth of yours with a kiss. Maybe I will put my tongue in next time and turn you into a mush mess, you useless mutt.”】

….Yeah.

I had so many things I wanted to say, but we were still in the middle of a class, so I just stared at Neiko-san. She glanced at me and when she saw that I was staring at her, she quickly looked down again. She looked flustered for some reason… No. Upon closer look, her mouth was grinning ever so slightly. She seemed to be trying to hold back the grin from forming. I could only force myself to let out a wry smile. 

Mutt… Mutt, huh… Neiko-san, do you really want to be a dog that bad…?

“…?!”

I was questioning her sanity in my mind when she nodded while still looking down. She then wrote something on a new piece of paper and handed it to me again.

【I want to be a dog! But I only want to be A-kun’s personal dog!】

Wait, wait?! She can read my thoughts?! How?! Is she some kind of esper or something?! Besides, what does she mean by ‘personal’?! I mean, if we’re talking about dog and pet alike… Shouldn’t she refer to me as an ‘owner or at the very least and this is really pushing it too, ‘master’? I’ve never heard of a ‘personal dog’ before?! 

【Isn’t it obvious? It means A-kun can do whatever you want with me anytime and anywhere you like… ♡】

No, but seriously, how can she read my thoughts so accurately like that?! 

By the time I realized it, I was already out of breath even though I hadn’t said a word. I gathered all the papers Neiko-san had given to me and stored it in my pencil case. To be honest, I wanted to apologize for the kiss and maybe make a little suggestion to her… 

“Now then. I want you to discuss the topic we’re discussing currently with the person sitting next to you. You can choose anyone you’d like. I will give you five minutes.”

The professor leading the class said so, allowing us to talk in a more open manner. Neiko-san finally looked up. She glanced at me repeatedly, looking somewhat bashful. I also felt awkward. Well, to be precise, I was feeling embarrassed rather than awkward. There were a lot of people around us, so I couldn’t possibly talk about the kiss earlier with her. 

For now, I should just tell her about this little suggestion I have in mind…

“…A-kun…”

“Hm…?”

I was planning to talk first, but Neiko-san beat me to it. She was looking at the piece of paper I had folded, the one in my pencil case, with a somehow happy expression.

“The paper that I handed to you… Did you fold it and put it in your pencil case?”

“Huh? Oh, ye-yeah…”

“Are you going to throw it away?”

“Nah, I won’t throw it away. I mean, most of the things written here are really hard for me to accept, but since they are your genuine request…”

And…

“And since you went out of your way to write it for me… I won’t throw it away. I will keep it with me.”

I thought I was just expressing my honest feelings, but for some reason, Neiko-san started giggling happily. Not quite understanding what made her giggle like that, I asked her why she was laughing. However, since there were plenty of other people around, she didn’t answer me directly. Instead, she leaned in and whispered. 

“You know… I most probably… Can’t be apart from you anymore…”

Her whispering voice sounded so sweet. Amidst all the noise, her words reached my ears loud and clear, more than anything else. I could immediately feel my body temperature rising. Flustered, I looked away from her. But even after averting my gaze, I still forced myself to say the things I wanted to tell her. 

“Neiko-san… I want to go somewhere together with you after today’s class…”
