After My Girlfriend Dumped Me and I Got Fired From My Job, I Was Picked up by a Yandere Blonde High School Girl With Big Breasts - Chapter 49

I Talked with Grandfather

I let out a long sigh…

I was in wise man time, the most listless and empty man in the world.

What on earth was I doing…? When I came back to my senses, I had already released a massive amount multiple times. The number of times and the volume made me feel even more pathetic.

The tantalizing memory of savoring the feel of Kaede’s breasts at the school at night would likely drive me crazy for a long time.

In the even larger inner courtyard than the garden where the laundry had been hanging earlier, I was sitting on the bridge over the pond in that garden-like space.

Magnificent koi were swimming. I gazed at the koi.

In my listless and empty mood, I was finding some healing by gazing at the koi. They were truly beautiful, and I could watch their elegant swimming forms forever.

The koi that used to come close to me before were not coming near at all today. They were completely ignoring me as they swam. Had they learned that I would not give them food? They might be smarter than me. Or maybe I just had no presence.

“Oh my, is something the matter, Yasumura-kun?”

!!!!!!

I did not need to turn around to know; he was suddenly behind me.

A dignified voice, a dignified aura. It was Kaede’s grandfather and the former president of the Nakajo Group, Nakajo Kenzou.

He was scary… Even feeling it on my back filled me with terror. As expected of the former president of a major corporation, as expected of Kaede’s grandfather. Kaede’s overwhelming charismatic aura must have come from her grandfather.

Honestly, I was scared and wanted to run away, but it would be rude since he had spoken to me. I quietly turned around, stood up, and bowed my head.

“G-Good morning, Kenzou-san!”

“Ah, no need to be so formal. Relax.”

Even so, the overwhelming pressure made it impossible not to bow my head. Bowing almost automatically was my sad habit from my days as a lowly company employee.

“Were you watching the koi in the pond?”

“Y-Yes.”

“What a coincidence. I was just thinking of feeding the koi myself. Taking care of the koi is my duty, you see.”

Ah, sure enough, Kenzou-san had koi food in his hand.

When Kenzou-san approached the pond, the koi all came rushing over with a whooshing sound. Because Kenzou-san took care of them, the koi understood that properly. They really were smart.

Kenzou-san tossed in the food. The koi ate it up, making splashing sounds in the water. I watched the scene from up close.

It was amazing; after taking care of them for so long, the sight clearly showed the strong bond of trust between them.

Once the feeding was done, Kenzou-san crouched down next to me, who was also crouching on the pond bridge.

Even after the feeding was over, he was staying here? To be honest, though it was rude, I had hoped he would leave quickly once he was done.

Because he was scary. Really scary. I knew he was not a bad person, but scary was scary. My legs were starting to tremble a little.

I wanted to run. I really wanted to run. But running would be rude. I could not move and was terrified of Kenzou-san.

“—So, how are things, Yasumura-kun?”

“Eek…! Y-Yes!”

Oh no, I let out an eek…! His voice was that scary. He spoke in an even lower and heavier tone on top of already being scary, and I shrank back completely.

“With Kaede… are you getting along well?”

I see, he was worried about his granddaughter. That was natural for a grandfather. He felt a bit of intimidation toward me because he was worried about his granddaughter. That was why I was so terrified.

“Y-Yes… Kaede-chan is, to someone like me… ah, no, to a person like me, she has been really kind.”

On top of already being terrified, I now had this strong guilty feeling added to it.

Since Grandfather lived here too, I thought there would be chances to talk, but the timing was the worst. Right now, of all times, I wanted a little mercy.

I had just been using his precious granddaughter as material to masturbate furiously, so talking to Grandfather right after, during wise man time, was close to mental torture.

I’m sorry for using her as jerk-off material, please kill me.

I somehow answered in a pathetic voice while trembling all over.

Kenzou-san’s eyes were like those of a fierce beast, and I could not meet them. Scary, scary.

“What do you think of Kaede?”

“Uh…!!!!!!”

It was incredibly direct. Without any beating around the bush, he threw a straight fastball of a question that was really hard to answer.

“Um, I, well…”

I like her. I like her. I like Kaede-chan.

But in my terror and tension and anxiety, I could not answer properly. On top of that, it was embarrassing, and I could not say it to people that easily. I had been able to say it to Kaede herself, so I had to say it properly to Grandfather too… but I could not get the words out.

My attitude was unclear, and Kenzou-san’s expression grew sterner. Scary.

“…You understand Kaede’s feelings, right?”

“Y-Yes! Kaede-chan told me properly.”

“Then, what about your feelings?”

“…Well… I… like her too…”

It was a vanishingly small voice, but I somehow squeezed it out. I thought this was something I absolutely had to convey to Grandfather.

“…Then, why are you not dating?”

“…”

“I can tell; Kaede seems very anxious.

If you know her feelings and say you like her too, then I think you should start dating right away, but why do you not?”

“Th-That’s…”

—Because I cannot forget my ex-girlfriend.

Even though she rejected me so clearly, I still had lingering feelings for my ex-girlfriend.

I thought I should forget about my ex-girlfriend, and I thought I had to forget, but I could not forget easily… no, there was a bad part of me somewhere in my heart that had no intention of forgetting.

Trying to forget was just lip service, only on the surface, and deep down, I was hoping that maybe I could get back together with my ex-girlfriend somewhere along the way.

Because there was definitely a despicable thought inside me that wanted to get back with my ex-girlfriend while not letting go of Kaede-chan.

“I do not think it is good for this ambiguous, half-hearted time to drag on without a clear answer to whether you will respond to Kaede’s feelings or not.”

“I… understand.”

I understood. But I did not have the qualification right now.

As I was now, my ex-girlfriend would remain the main one, and it would turn into keeping Kaede-chan as a backup. No good. That was absolutely no good.

“You are the man Kaede chose. I believe in you too.”

“…”

Why, why would you believe in someone like me? Was there any reason to believe? What about me made you think you could entrust your precious granddaughter to me?

Even if you say she chose me, all I did was put a bandage on her.

Was not this the part where you said, “I will not give my precious granddaughter to the likes of you!”? It would be easier for me if you said that.

Even at this point, wanting it easy showed how no good I was.

“I believe in you, but… if by any chance you are thinking of keeping Kaede as a backup, then I absolutely could not forgive you.”

“—!”

Somehow… it felt like he saw through everything.

He really resembled Kaede-chan. An irresistible, overwhelming aura of a supreme being that made you want to prostrate yourself.

He was probably Kaede-chan’s mentor too, Kenzou-san. I felt like I understood the reason for Kaede-chan’s strength.

“Kaede is waiting for you, but my patience is not that long.”

With those words as the last, Kenzou-san stood up and left.

I could not stand for a while and just blankly gazed at the koi in the pond. The koi might have been thinking, “This guy’s still here. How long is he going to stay?”

If I made Kaede-chan cry, I would be killed. I had that certainty. I had to etch it strongly into my mind.
