After Capturing and Confining a Beautiful Yandere Stalker Girl, I Somehow Started a Sweet Life With Her - 21

Chapter 21: The Confined Crazy Girl and the Confining Monster Guy

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

In the end, the nutrition class during the third period was completely incomprehensible to me. The professor explained in great detail about how additives in food affected the body when people started using them for most products. The professor used a lot of specialized jargon and delved deep into these topics, but still… I couldn’t understand anything. Even Neiko-san, who had been busy exchanging notes with me earlier, had to focus on the lesson by the middle of the class. She was watching the PowerPoint at the podium closely, taking notes and organizing the information she had received in her own words. It was so amusing, seeing her taking notes so seriously like this. The juxtaposition between her usual self made her look somewhat cool in my eyes. Not to mention, her striking beauty. Her profile looked picturesque.  

“Alright, that’s it for today’s class. Please submit your attendance cards before you leave.”

I snapped back to reality. I had been sneaking glances at Neiko-san from the side and by the time I realized it, the class had already ended. She immediately looked over at me and I quickly averted my gaze, pretending I hadn’t been watching her for most of the class. I cleared my throat, trying to cover my embarrassment. Of course, that only made me look more awkward. 

“…A-kun, you were looking at me the whole time during class, right…?”

“…!!”

She-She saw right through me. All the hair on my body stood on end. But still, there was no way I could straight out say,”Neiko-san was so beautiful. I couldn’t stop myself from staring,” so I tried to come up with a lousy excuse in an awkward, robotic voice. 

“I-I-It must be just your imagination…”

It was obvious to see she didn’t buy it. Neiko-san leaned in closer from the side and intertwined her fingers with mine in a slow and deliberate way. Her usual viscous sweet smile stretched on her face. 

“Ehehehe… Hehehe…♡ A-kun is finally opening his heart to me…♡ At this rate… He will eventually surrender both his body and soul to me… Ehehehehe…♡”

“U-Ugh…!”

“Not to mention, A-kun even asked me out for a little date after class…♡ Uhehehehe… Uhehehehehe….♡”

“…”

Her elegant beauty had all but disappeared. The sharp look she had completely vanished and her expression had softened, so much so that she was practically melting. Her eyes were drooping at the corners and her pupils looked so dangerously clouded that I seemed to imagine heart symbols floating in them. This was the maximum version of Neiko-san ‘obsessively in love’ mode. People were already sneaking glances at us for some reason and this made us look more like a weirdo. I really didn’t want to stand out like this. All I could do was let out a sigh. 

“…Uwah, poor guy… He’s stuck with that psycho girl.”

Hm…? Just now…

A group of guys and girls were walking by and they clearly glanced at us. One of the muttered something under their breath while looking at us. I looked back, but I couldn’t tell who had just said that. 

…

“Ehehehe~♡ Is there something wrong, A-kun…?”

“Oh? N-No. Nothing’s wrong.”

It seemed Neiko-san didn’t hear them. She was still looking at me with her usual melted expression. 

Yeah. Nothing’s wrong… Nothing…

“…Then, shall we leave this place? I still have a couple more classes to attend.”

“Sounds good~…♡ Let’s go together~…♡”

“No, no. Neiko-san, you’re going straight home! Feel free to play Pokémon or something.”

Even though we both had agreed that she would stay at home while I went to my classes, Neiko-san was still pouting stubbornly. Feeling embarrassed, I scanned the surroundings and once I deemed no one was looking, I grabbed her hand gently. 

“It’s… It’s difficult for me to stay apart from you too… So… Let’s both do our best, okay…?”

I whispered softly into her ear. I said so since I was the one keeping her confined. Just as expected, my plan worked wonders on Neiko-san. Neiko-san’s legs lost its strength. She leaned against the wall while nodding excitedly with a blissful expression on her face, complete with a hint of drool coming out from the corner of her mouth as she trembled in delight.

The fourth and the fifth period went on without a hitch. I was already used to going to class alone. I usually would just take whichever seat was available and pay enough attention to understand the class then, after the class ended, I would hand in my attendance card. There was a time when I would feel a bit envious seeing everyone else making friends with their classmates, but now… I was over it. Seeing a group of friends didn’t faze me anymore. What weighed on my mind more was what lay ahead after class and… The passing remark that I had heard earlier. 

What did they mean by ‘psycho girl’? They must be talking about Neiko-san and the ‘poor guy’ must be me. Were they Neiko-san’s acquaintances or something? I had no idea what was happening here… But, if they were Neiko-san’s acquaintances, they would say hello to her or something. They didn’t do anything like that. They just passed through Neiko-san without acknowledging her.

Hmm…

I mulled over it and Neiko-san’s mischievous grin popped into my mind. Even though I was so deep in my thoughts, but remembering her mischievous grin was enough to almost make me laugh. The shift of her mood was really something else. She went from looking all sharp to practically melting in her seat. 

“Pfft…”

A ‘psycho girl’, huh? Then what would they call me, the one who’s keeping this so-called ‘psycho girl’ confined? A monster? A total freak? Whatever it was, it must be something incredulous. 

Just thinking about it was enough to make me laugh. There was no way I would admit out loud that I was keeping Neiko-san ‘confined’. I would get arrested first before they could even call me a monster.

“…In the end, we’re both just weirdos in the eyes of the other people…”

I muttered to myself, keeping my voice low enough so no one around could hear, and decided to stop thinking about anything too gloomy today. Instead, I started thinking about which places we should go in Sannomiya. Yes. We were planning to practice navigating the city center together after class. If we had more experience in riding the bus, then maybe we wouldn’t feel as nervous anymore. Once we managed to master riding the bus, we would tackle the train. After the train, the bullet train and after the bullet train…

“…Maybe the plane…?”

Going on a plane together… It’s practically a honeymoon…

I thought to myself and ended up chuckling to myself again. There was no doubt about it. I must be a ‘psycho’ too. 

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. It’s not just Neiko-san. I’m a weirdo too. Maybe I should tell her something like,”You know, I think I’m a bit weird as well.” I wonder what kind of face she’d make then?

Just imagining her reaction made me laugh. Smiling to myself, I waited eagerly for my last class to end.
