After Capturing and Confining a Beautiful Yandere Stalker Girl, I Somehow Started a Sweet Life With Her - 29

Chapter 29: A Call From Mom

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“That being said… A-kun, I’ve caused you so much trouble. From catching a cold, fainting and many other things. However! I will keep doing my best so I can serve you as your slave. So, once again… Please take care of me from now on too.”

“No, you really don’t need to do your best to become my slave… In fact, it’d be great if you could stop stalking me…”

“But, but! I… I want to keep looking at you, A-kun! Every second is priceless to me! I want to savor every second as much as possible, just like now…”

“So… Does that mean when I leave the house to go somewhere else, you’d follow me?”

“Yes! Absolutely!♡”

“What if I run away? Will you keep following me?”

“Yes! I will keep following you wherever you go!♡”

“Even to the edge of the world?”

“Even to the edge of the world!♡”

“Then, what if I ended up living together with some other woman?”

“I’d stab her.”

“…(sweat drop)”

“Ah!♡ Of course, I mean I would stab the woman! There’s no way I’d stab you, A-kun!~♡ It’s obvious the woman is the bad one for trying to seduce you!~♡”

She was dead serious. There was no hint of hesitation in her eyes. 

“In the first place, anyone who dares to make a move on A-kun when I’m not around means they wish to have an early death. I will neverrrrrrrrr forgive them.♡”

“Ah…. E-Erm…”

“A-kun, please don’t get deceived easily, okay? ♡ Don’t worry, I’ll always be by your side. I will give you anything you want.♡”

“Ye-Yes…”

“Anything you want…♡”

What is this… 

I was the one who put her under my confinement, but somehow… By the time I realized it, I felt like I was the one being locked inside a cage by Neiko-san. It was as if… I had to stay by Neiko-san and no one else if I wanted to remain safe. But well… This was what I wanted anyway. No. I had to stay focused. I had a mission to fulfill. I had to fix her stalking habit somehow. I definitely couldn’t give up on that… I… I mustn’t give up..

“Now then~ A-kun, chatting with you is nice and all, but it’s time to try this pot-au-feu I made. This dish is filled to the brim with my love! I put all my heart and soul into this dish just for you!”

“O-Okay. Thank you for the meal.”

After saying thank you, I scooped the soup with my spoon. There were plenty of things that I wanted to comment on, but the food she made always looked so delicious. I really couldn’t thank her enough for that. 

“To be honest, I wanted to put my bodily fluids into this dish… Just a bit… A tiny bit of each of my bodily fluids…♡ But since A-kun was watching me so closely today, I couldn’t do it… What a shame..♡.”

“No, no. Please don’t feel like it’s a shame, okay? That would turn the score of this perfect dish straight to zero.”

“Ufufufu~♡I know~ I know the truth…♡ A-kun is shy, so you always hide your real feelings at times like this. I know that you actually want me to add it in the next dish I make, right?~♡”

“No, no. You really don’t know anything, Neiko-san. Especially not my real feelings. Please do NOT add any bodily fluids into the food, okay?”

“Auhhhh… A-kun looks so adorable when he’s all shy too… Of course, he’s even more adorable when he’s being honest…”

“Are you even listening to me?”

Honest…? Nah. Honest, huh… Just what does she mean by ‘honest’? No, to be precise, what kind of situation I’ve fallen into that will make me be ‘honest’ in her imagination…?

An incredulous scenario started popping in my head. I shook my head a bit to dispel the thoughts away since it was way too R18. I wanted to punch myself for even thinking,”You know what? It doesn’t sound bad…” I mustn’t give in, not even for a moment. If I were to give in, our relationship would reach the point of no return. We would be crossing a truly dangerous territory. I had to avoid that outcome at all costs. 

“…Well, whatever. Once again, thank you for the meal.”

“Yeesh~♡ Enjoy the meal, Master~♡”

“Don’t call me ‘Master’. Didn’t I already tell you this multiple times…?”

I muttered while taking a spoonful of the pot-au-feu into my mouth. 

“Mmh…!”

“How is it? Does it taste good? Does it suit your palate?”

Neiko-san asked. Her gaze was laced with a hint of anxiety. Moments like this really made her look so adorable. Not wanting to make her feel anxious even just for a second more, I decided to share my honest thoughts on the meal she had made. 

“It’s reaaaaaaaaaaalllyyyy delicious! It’s sooooo delicious! I think this might be the best pot-au-feu I’ve ever had.”

“…! Re-Really…?!”

“Yes. Really. I could eat this everyday.”

“Ah…♡”

Neiko-san’s cheeks loosened into a slovenly smile as she let out a blissful sight. The anxiety that riddled her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a dazed, almost entranced look, which made me feel a bit uneasy in return. Drool trickled down from the corner of her mouth and she quickly slurped it back with a sound that was far from elegant, especially from a woman as beautiful as her. I couldn’t help but smile wryly at the sight. 

“I… I think I was born for this exact reason… To have A-kun praise my homemade cooking… Yes… This must be my reason for living…”

“Tha-That’s quite an exaggeration…”

“It’s not an exaggeration! It’s the truth! Here, have my portion too!”

“No. Neiko-san, you should eat too. It’s yours, after all.”

“Ahhh…♡ Haa… Haa…♡ Uuuh… A-kun, A-kun, A-kun…♡”

“No, wait? Did I just trigger something? Which part of my statement caused you to be this excited? No, please don’t start panting out of nowhere…”

“But, but… A-kun always gives me exactly what I want…♡ You just make me want to go haahaa… Haa.. Haa… A-kun….♡” 

“…”

Did I…? Really? It was hard to believe if I was really giving her what she wanted. Maybe I accidentally fulfilled Neiko-san’s desires somehow?

“I’m so, so grateful you nursed me when I was sick… If I’d been alone, I think I would’ve been so lonely I might just die from loneliness…”

“You’d die of loneliness? Like a rabbit?”

“But I’m not joking, you know? I’m genuinely happy that A-kun is by my side. You always make me feel warm and fluffy inside…”

“Neiko-san…”

“So… Umm…”

Neiko-san trailed her words before she continued on.

“….Thank you. I’m really, really thankful.”

“…”

In that instant, a memory of the not so distant past resurfaced in my mind. The memory at the laundromat… Yes. It was her. The girl who conveyed her deepest gratitude with such a delicate smile on her face. Back then, she wore a hat that pulled low over her face. Her bangs were longer too. But… Those eyes.. There was no mistaking them.

I… To Neiko-san…

“..!!”

Words were swirling in my mind within that fleeting moment, but then, Neiko-san’s phone suddenly vibrated. It seemed someone was calling her. I fell silent, giving her the opportunity to answer her phone.

I wonder who’s calling her?

I thought to myself as Neiko-san quietly muttered to herself.

“Mom…?”
