My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 21

With hot weather and freedom, summer vacation, the hope of high school students, has finally arrived.

Inside the restless classroom, while classmates pondered, “What should we do this year?”, I alone… was searching for a new part-time job. Even though Sensei says to create many memories, I can’t afford the rent without earning money.

Because just breathing costs money, that’s how the world works.

“Um, um…! Ichinose-kun!”

“Yes? What’s up? Mizuhara-san.”

“Do you have plans for summer vacation?”

“Yeah. I don’t have any specific plans, but I have a part-time job, so…”

“Hey, how about going to the beach together?”

“Huh?”

Since then, Mizuhara often called out to me in the corridors and classrooms.

If there’s something bothering me, maybe it’s the way she looks at me… It feels like she’s expecting something from me, and I didn’t know what to do. I can’t go to the beach because of work, and going there would also mean breaking the promise to make lots of memories with Sensei.

So, right now, I can’t do anything.

If I had that kind of time I’d use it to be with Sensei.

“Hey, what are you two talking about? Ibuki and Kyoko-chan.”

“Oh, Haruto-kun! I’m inviting Ichinose-kun to go to the beach together.”

“Oh, that sounds nice. I’d like to go too, but is it okay?”

Haruto glanced at Kyoko and noticed the signal.

“Great! Then I’ll invite some friends too, let’s go with four people!”

“W-wait…! I haven’t agreed to go yet?”

“Huh? You’re not going? Ibuki. High school second year summers won’t come back… Aren’t you going to regret it? Your own life!”

“Exaggerated. And I don’t have time to go to the beach because of work, Haruto.”

“Well… You’ve been working all the time, right? Why not ask your mom for help once in a while?”

“………… I’m going to buy some juice.”

Upon hearing about my mother, I quickly fled the scene.

The sea… I wanted to go someday too, but I don’t have time to go to such a faraway place. Also, since I haven’t told Haruto about my situation yet, it’s impossible for him to know about my mom’s absence.

I suddenly feel sad.

I’m not in a situation where I can casually ask my parents for such things, I’ve always been alone… I can’t do it.

What you’re saying… I can’t do it.

“This is a new juice release. Try drinking it.”

As I stood in front of the vending machine… Sensei, who inserted five hundred yen, casually pressed a button.

Why does Sensei appear at such times?

“What’s wrong? You look down.”

“No. I was just invited to a place I don’t really want to go.”

“Where?”

“It seems like it’s the sea.”

“Hmm. With Yuuki-kun and Mizuhara-san, right?”

“Yes.”

“Haven’t you ever wanted to play with friends, Ibuki?”

I’ve thought about it, but… I wonder. I don’t know.

“How about you? I don’t really know either. But if I do that… I might get scolded by Sensei.”

“No… I’ll forgive you for a day. But more than that is not allowed! You should spend summer vacation with me….You know that,right?”

“Of course.”

“If you keep that promise, I’ll give Ibuki-kun a day of freedom.”

A day would be okay, right?

Even though she should know who I’m playing with, surprisingly, Sensei was understanding. Normally… Sensei who would definitely say no seemed not to mind today. But since they said they wanted to go to the sea, in the end I would have to refuse. Even if Sensei said to make memories, honestly, it didn’t matter.

I’ve lived like that until now.

……

“Why is Mizuhara-san at my seat?”

“To persuade Ichinose-kun!”

She’s kind of proactive, Mizuhara.

And Haruto… His eyes are sparkling.

“Let’s go, Ibuki. To the sea!”

“No, it’s okay for a day… But more than that is not allowed. Please understand that I also have plans.”

Because we’re going to play in the sea, a day is impossible. If I do this, I thought Haruto would give up too.

But———

“Then, how about a movie?”

“Oh! That sounds good too, Kyoko-chan.”

“Yeah, right?!”

Wasn’t she the one who wanted to go to the beach? It’s scary how quickly she gives up on a place she wanted to go just for my sake… Normally, a girl like Mizuhara could play with other good guys too… Why is she trying so hard to hang out with me?

And I’m even more curious about Sensei who allowed that. I couldn’t clearly express my feelings. She always says, “Stay by my side,” and it bothers me… I kept repeating those words to myself, wondering if it’s really okay to go.

What’s with this weird feeling…! This feeling like I’m doing something wrong.

I don’t know what to do.

“No good?”

“Uh, well… For now… Um… Later…”

“Then, shall we exchange contact information? Ichinose-kun.”

“Uh, um… Yeah.”

I somehow exchanged contact info with Mizuhara, but I really felt like I was doing something wrong. Even though I wasn’t doing anything weird, I’ve been feeling uneasy since making that promise with Sensei.

For some reason, I feel guilty about contacting other girls.

Why is that?

“Well then, I’ll contact you later!”

Saying that, Mizuhara returned to the classroom.

“That’s great, Ibuki! Looks like it’s going well! Hang in there! I’m rooting for you!”

“…………”

What are you talking about, Haruto?

……

“So… I exchanged contact information with Mizuhara… Sorry.”

When I got home, I told Sensei everything.

It was bothering me so much that I couldn’t stand it. I don’t like lying to anyone, and Sensei doesn’t like that either. Even if she said it’s okay, I still felt anxious.

“Really? When are you going?”

She said we should go on the first day of summer vacation.

“I see. But why do you look like that…? I said it’s okay for you to go.”

“No, it’s just… I promised to be with Kanzaki-san. Seeing a movie with another girl makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong.”

“Hehehe ♡ Ibuki, you really are a kind boy. Are you that concerned about our promise?”

“Y-yes… At least, yeah.”

“Don’t worry. Memories of your school days are precious, and I don’t want to interfere with your high school experience. Have fun. And thank you… I’m happy.”

“Yes…”

“But… you do understand that more than that is not allowed, right? Ibuki.”

“Yes! I understand.”

And then, Sensei handed me a key.

Wait, suddenly a house key?

“Huh? Why is this?”

“I also have plans that day. I’ll make dinner ahead of time, so if I’m not back by then, go ahead and eat.”

“Y-yes…”

“And let’s go on another date and eat lots of delicious food. Ibuki!”

“Y-yes…!”

Sensei actually said “date.”

Embarrassing.
