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

My Ex-Girlfriend Came to the House Again

Anyway, I managed to get Tsubaki-chan to attend class. It was tough, but I somehow convinced her.

As for Horinochi-san… well, she never actually said outright that she likes me, so there’s still a chance I’m just imagining things.

Unless she makes a move first, maybe it’s better if I don’t do anything either.

—

Today was a day off. Kaede-chan went to her lessons again.

Kaede-chan is seriously dedicated to violin. She works really hard. I should take a page from her book.

As for me today, no cleaning or chores were assigned, so I got to just relax at home all day.

I took them up on the offer and decided to take it easy for a bit. While relaxing, I could think carefully about what to do next.

…The weather’s really nice, and part of me wants to go out somewhere for a change, but right now I can’t.

The truth is, when Kaede-chan isn’t here, I can’t come and go from this house on my own.

To be precise, I can leave, but I can’t get back in.

The card needed to enter the house is kept in Kaede-chan’s cleavage. So without her, I can’t get inside.

When I want to leave, it’s only allowed if I get Kaede-chan’s permission and she comes with me. I can technically go out alone, but there’s a tracker, so my location gets found out anyway, making it pointless.

Since I’m basically her pet, even when Kaede-chan is away, I’m completely under her control. No collar around my neck, but it’s pretty much the same thing.

Not that I mind. I’ve never once felt inconvenienced or cramped because I can’t come and go by myself.

Even though it’s been quite a while since I started living here, there are still places in this house I haven’t been to—it’s that huge. If I wanted, I could play any game or do any sport right here.

So basically, there’s no real need to go outside. This house, with its perfect security, protects me so I never end up in any danger. There’s hardly any place safer than this. I’m truly grateful to be allowed to stay here.

I watched the koi in the pond. I’ve gotten a little hooked on observing them lately. Their movements are so graceful, the colors are beautiful, and I could watch them forever.

This time of day is really calming. Having even a little quiet time like this, no matter what it’s for, really makes me feel happy.

My phone got a message. Maybe it’s Kaede-chan?

I checked the screen and…

“———!!!!!!”

I doubted my own eyes and blinked over and over. No matter how many times I blinked, the name on the screen stayed the same: ‘Takai Unma.’

Unma…! A message from Unma.

I thought she had blocked me… Ever since she dumped me, we hadn’t been able to contact each other at all. And yet now, a message from Unma.

My heart pounded hard as I opened the message.

‘I’m in front of the house right now. Come out quick.’

Huh… She’s in front of the house right now…?

Another horror-movie moment. The girls around me lately are way too scary.

Unma came to the house again. I had a feeling she might show up again, but she actually did.

Another message pinged, and my heart jumped.

‘Hurry up and come out. I want to see you, Ryoma.’

She wants to see me…? Unma wants to see me?

Even just those four little words from my ex—“I want to see you”—carry an incredible weight. No matter what, I can’t deny how happy it makes me feel.

It pisses me off to admit it, but this girl really knows how to make me happy.

Perfect timing—I’ve been wanting to have a proper talk with Unma anyway.

Last time we met, everything she said and did was so confusing. I’ve been stuck in this foggy feeling ever since. I want to talk to her face-to-face and hear it straight from her mouth.

Until I get this cleared up properly, I won’t be able to move forward.

So of course I’m going. I’m going to meet Unma.

But the moment I started walking, Kaede-chan’s face flashed in my mind.

And the fact that once I leave, I won’t be able to get back into the house on my own.

Is this really okay?

I’m not doing anything wrong, so I can just send Kaede-chan a message letting her know. Either way, it’s impossible to secretly meet Unma without Kaede-chan finding out.

I sent Kaede-chan a message: ‘Unma came, so I’m going to talk to her properly.’

There. Done. Time to go.

Nervous, I headed to the entrance.

For the first time, I stepped out of the house completely alone.

As soon as I took one step outside, the gate closed automatically behind me. No turning back now.

“Ryoma…”

“Unma…”

Right outside, Unma was standing there.

The first real reunion since that shocking encounter. Unma approached, her high heels clicking.

“You’re late. I’ve been waiting.”

“Sorry.”

“I rang the intercom so many times and no one answered, so I just messaged your phone directly.”

“Oh, I see.”

Kaede-chan and Kenzou-san are both out, the staff are busy, and I was at the pond in the garden, so no one noticed Unma had come. Guess that’s one downside of the house being too big.

“Well, whatever. I’ve missed you, Ryoma.”

“…………”

“Why are you so quiet? I came all this way to see you. Don’t you have anything to say?”

Last time we met, I was half in panic and everything was a blur, but now I can face Unma a little more calmly. This really feels like our first proper reunion in a long time.

Honestly, part of me is still mad at Unma, and I’d love to say I only want to talk about the bare minimum, but seeing her again like this… she’s just too beautiful.

“…You’re still gorgeous, as always.”

The words slipped out naturally, complimenting her appearance.

She always dresses stylishly, but today she looked especially put-together. The old habit of praising her whenever I see her is so ingrained that it came out again without thinking.

Her makeup was done to make her look as stunning as possible. And her signature red lips looked perfect on her today, as always.

When Unma heard my words, the corners of her red lips lifted slowly.

“Hehe, obviously. When I’m meeting the man I love, I’ll put in any effort to look good.”

The man she loves… that’s me, right…?

She’s still saying she loves me even now? Then why did she dump me? Why did she throw me away? I seriously don’t get it.

Well, that’s exactly why I came today—to ask her about all that in detail.

“…Thanks for coming, Unma. I’ve been wanting to talk things over properly with you too.”

“Yeah. This isn’t the place. Let’s go somewhere we can talk calmly.”

Squeeze

“!”

Unma took my hand and started walking.

Back when we were dating, she used to hold my hand like this all the time. Once she grabbed it, I wasn’t allowed to stop.
