How I Ended Up with an Extreme Yandere Landmine Beauty When I Asked to Hang Out with My Best Friend's Sister to Get Better at Talking to Girls

Chapter 6: Landmine Yandere Beautiful Girl VS Childhood Friend Beautiful Girl – The Giant Monster Battle Breaks Out

After school.

When I asked Shinichi and Maki if they had any idea about the “that day” Azuri mentioned, Shinichi said it seemed related to a summer festival from when we were in elementary school.

It was the summer festival around when we were in third grade.

According to Shinichi, Azuri got lost at the festival, and when he heard the lost child announcement and went to the information desk to pick her up, the name of the person who helped Azuri turned out to be the same as mine.

That year’s summer festival was so crowded that the three of us got separated, and we ended up going home from different places without meeting up again.

It was just a third-grade summer festival, so I only have vague memories of it.

Now that he mentions it, I do faintly remember helping a girl who had fallen down, but I don’t recall the details, like whether that girl was Azuri or not.

But if that was Azuri, then maybe her being unusually cooperative with me is her way of saying thanks?

“Hey, Ryoya. Let’s go home together.”

As I was changing my shoes at the shoe lockers to head home, Maki called out to me from behind.

“Oh, Maki. Is the sewing club off today?”

“Yeah, once our projects are done, it’s basically a free club.”

“Then let’s go.”

I don’t have any plans with Azuri today anyway, so it should be fine.

Come to think of it, how am I supposed to contact Azuri?

We didn’t exchange Line IDs, and I don’t even know her phone number.

Right now, the only way is through Shinichi… What should I do about that?

“Is Ryoya going to start spending after-school time with Azuri from now on?”

“I guess so? For now, it’s just to help me get used to talking with girls, so we’ll hang out sometimes.”

“…Does that mean you’re going on dates?”

“Dates? No, no, it’s nothing like that. From Azuri’s side, she’s just putting up with it, and neither of us thinks anything like that at all.”

“I see…”

When she murmured that, Maki’s face looked unusually gloomy.

Since Maki is always so nosy, she’s probably just worried about me.

“I appreciate the concern, but she’s Shinichi’s little sister, you know? Relax.”

“I’m not! I’m not worried or anything! I just thought our time as the three of us would decrease, that’s all!”

“What kind of reason is that?”

Time as the three of us? Lately after school, Shinichi’s busy with soccer club, and Maki’s busy with sewing club, so what is she even saying now?

“—Oh? Ryoya? Why are you walking with some girl?”

The moment we passed through the school gate—right next to the bulletin board by the gate, there stood a beautiful girl in a pink sweater with a prominent ribbon.

Oh, Azuri… Why is she here?

“…You’re Shinichi’s little sister.”

“Nice to meet you♡ I’m Niijima Azuri. By any chance, is the long-haired brunette lady over there Ryoya’s childhood friend?”

“Y-Yeah. She is.”

“Nice to meet you, Azuri. I’m Saito Maki.”

When Maki introduced herself, Azuri responded with a perfect ladylike bow, saying “Nice to meet you.”

Azuri is really putting on the refined lady act today… Even though her look is so cute and fanciful.

“By the way, Saito?”

“W-What?”

“If you don’t mind me asking, you’re not Ryoya’s ‘girlfriend’ or anything, right?”

“Wait, Azuri!?”

What is she suddenly saying? Azuri throws out this outrageous question.
