After I Picked up a Notebook Filled With Intense Emotions, the Girls Started Acting Strange - SS1 Award Commemoration

One day after school.

At long last, the day’s classes had ended, and the students were free.

They could head off to their clubs, go hang out, or just stay in the classroom and chat lazily.

Just another classic part of youth.

Amid all that, I was heading toward the shoe lockers alone.

I’m not in any clubs, and no one had invited me out today.

It hadn’t been like this lately, but I was on my own for once.

There wasn’t anything in particular to do if I stayed in the classroom, and studying was out of the question.

So I figured I’d just head home and relax.

“…What’s this?”

When I reached the entrance and opened my shoe locker, there it was.

—To Shiomi Yuu.

A single sheet of letter paper.

It was plain with no distinguishing features.

And written on it was my name in mechanical handwriting.

“…”

A strong sense of déjà vu hit me, and I felt my heartbeat quicken slightly.

“It’s a letter this time.”

I’d encountered a similar situation before.

Though back then, it wasn’t addressed to me, it had just ended up in my bag by coincidence.

No, it’s not a coincidence. It had clearly been planted there.

And in the end, that notebook’s owner led things to a ridiculous conclusion.

Who sent this letter? Whether it’s someone I know or not changes everything.

And this time, my name is written on it directly. There’s no doubt, it’s about me.

“Haa…”

Just to be safe, I glanced around.

There were a few students here and there, but no one seemed to be paying me any attention.

“I guess I’ll open it.”

Maybe I could have waited until I got home.

Depending on what’s inside, it still might have instructions to meet someone right away.

Thinking about that, I took a deep breath and tried to steady myself.

Even though it wasn’t hot, a bead of sweat ran down my forehead as I nervously opened the letter slowly.

“You belong only to me.”

I closed it. That was a dangerous letter.

No, wait. I’d only read the first line.

I hadn’t read the rest yet. Judging it just from that line would be too soon.

“Phew…”

I let out a big breath, opened the letter again, and looked inside.

“Gasp.”

What was written there was full of heavy feelings from the person who wrote it.

◇

You belong only to me.

You were born just for me.

You smile only at me.

You cry only for me.

You suffer only for me.

You give everything only for me.

Look only at me.

Think only about me.

Love only me.

If I have that, I don’t need anything else.

I’m already yours.

Past, present, and future.

Only you can make me happy.

If you try to run from me… then… we’ll be happy together.

Because I’m the only one who can make you happy.

Absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine, absolutely be mine.

You’re absolutely mine.

Hey? Did you notice?

Today, because I knew you were hungry, I secretly put some bread from the school store in your locker. Today, I folded your gym clothes so no one else would see them. Today, I handed in your forgotten homework before the teacher noticed. Today, I got the water bottle you left behind. That makes the seventeenth one.

Today, I got the receipt you threw away. I know everything you ate. Today, I got the eraser shavings you used. It feels like a piece of you is there.

Today, a girl tried to get close to you, so I secretly stopped her. Today, I made sure she wouldn’t talk to you again because you talked to someone other than me. Today, I followed you to school from thirty meters behind. I was relieved to see you got here safely.

When I think about you, I can’t even sleep at night.

No matter what I’m doing, you’re always on my mind.

My one and only wish is to have you.

Everything I have is already yours.

So it’s your turn to belong to me now.

I will never let anyone else have you.

If you refuse, I will make sure you can’t leave.

I won’t let you go.

You can’t escape.

I will never let you escape.

Tomorrow. I’ll be waiting at that place. Make sure you come.

◇

“…”

It’s written in a really intense way, but it’s probably an invitation on a date.

“If you don’t come… I’ll take away something important to you.”

And at the very end, there was something kind of creepy written too.

Afterword

Hello everyone, long time no see.

I’m mty, the one who said I might join the Kakuyomu Contest and then didn’t.

This time, I was able to win a Special Prize in the GA Web Novel Contest!!

This is all thanks to the support of my readers.

During the contest period, many of you read my story, followed it, gave stars, cheered me on, left reviews, and wrote supportive comments. I’m really grateful for all of it.

Getting this kind of response gave me a little sense of premonition, I guess, about what might happen next.

From here, I’ll be moving into the process of turning the story into a book.

I’ll work hard to make it even better so that everyone who reads it online can enjoy it too!

The release is still some time away, but when it comes out, I’d be very happy if you’d consider buying it.

Also, to those of you waiting for the next part, I’m sorry, but please wait a little longer.

In addition to the book work, I have two other stories I want to write… (including the ones I couldn’t enter in the Kakuyomu Contest).

I’ll make those stories fun too, so when they’re released, please read them.

Lastly, I’ve prepared an SS award commemoration.

Including this story, there will be a total of five chapters. (It might get a little longer.)

Since it’s been a while since I last wrote, there might be some parts that seem a little off, so please forgive me.

I could have just made it a simple cute story with the heroines, but I decided to add a little mystery, just like in the main story.

I hope you enjoy it.
