My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 34

“Ik-kun, Ik-kun! Are you going to work part-time?”

“Yes! That’s right… What’s up?”

“…”

Sensei stood on tiptoes, closing her eyes.

I feel like she’s expecting something from me… but maybe it’s just my imagination.

“Um… Do you have something in your eye?”

“No! Clearly… You’re making a face like you’re waiting for a kiss! Geez…”

“I-I see… Hugging is not okay?”

“Then, let’s hug today. Tomorrow… you must kiss me!”

“Uh…”

“No, not ‘uh’! You say ‘yes’ in these situations!”

“Y-yes…”

Spending more time together, these embarrassing requests gradually increased.

Seeing Sensei act like this, a confusing feeling welled up from the bottom of my heart. Wanting to kiss me so much… love is indeed a complicated emotion.

Probably, the kiss Sensei mentioned is that kiss. That extremely embarrassing kiss.

“…”

“Hehe”

Today, Sensei’s smile is so cute… It’s strange. Despite being older than me, why can she make such a cute smile? We were so close since morning, maybe because of what happened between Sensei and me. Is this how living with a girl feels like? It was too embarrassing, so after the hug… I quickly left the house.

And maybe it’s just my imagination, but… I didn’t sense the stalker’s presence for two days. Normally, they would stand still outside the door, but when Sensei was asleep, I peeked outside the door and saw no one.

It’s too early to feel relieved, but for now… let’s leave it at that.

…

“Good morning. Ikuno-kun.”

“Good morning, Mizuhara-san.”

“Huh? Ikuno-kun, did you get a wound on your neck? It’s really red.”

“Uh, th-this is… I got bitten by a mosquito, while I was sleeping… a bit. Haha…”

Because I left it in a place that couldn’t be hidden, I ended up going to work like that.

It clearly looks like a bite mark left by a person, but Mizuhara and I are not that close, so I decided to casually cover it up. It seems inevitable that it will be found out soon. It’s going to bother me all day today.

“Hey, Ikuno-kun.”

“Yes?”

“Can you grill the meat for me?”

“Yes. Understood.”

But, she’s been looking at me since earlier… Is everything okay, Mizuhara?

Did I unknowingly do something wrong? She’s staring at me, and I can’t concentrate on work…

“Um… Mizuhara-san? Do you have something to say?”

“Huh? Oh, n-no… Nothing…”

“I see…”

Then why are you looking at me like that… Mizuhara…

“Oh, um! Ikuno-kun…”

“Yes?”

“Ikuno-kun… you’re not dating anyone, right…? That’s right, isn’t it?”

“That’s right, but?”

Out of the blue, Mizuhara, who was making a drink, started saying strange things, making me a bit flustered.

Maybe she hasn’t given up on me yet… If that’s the case, maybe I should look for another part-time job. Haruto introduced me to a job with a good hourly wage, but it seems like it would have a negative impact on Mizuhara… I might have to quit.

Since that day we coincidentally met in the hallway, it seems like she’s expecting something from me.

She casually invites me to meals and dates, and she talks to me often, making it a hassle to respond every time.

But why… do I keep thinking of Sensei’s face at times like this? I…

Before I knew it, I started thinking things like “I want to see her soon.” Why is that?

This feeling is… complicated.

With a serious expression, Ibuki was cutting vegetables, and Kyoko was glancing at him from the side.

She couldn’t take her eyes off that bright red bite mark.

“Do you really… not have a girlfriend…?”

Kyoko muttered to herself, clenching her fist secretly.

…

On the way back, it suddenly started pouring rain.

It’s the rainy season, so it’s not impossible for it to rain, but if it rains this much, I won’t be able to go home… Besides, the station is quite far, so I had to hurry back to the shop.

I’m completely drenched…

“Seriously… I said it wouldn’t rain today… Betrayed by the weather forecast.”

“Huh? Ikuno-kun? Could it be you don’t have an umbrella?”

“Y-yes…”

“Then, want to come in?”

“Huh? Aren’t you going home, Mizuhara-san?”

“My place isn’t that far from here. I have a room on the second floor of the shop, so I was planning to wait until the rain stops.”

“I see…”

It seems like Mizuhara left first, so now it’s just me and Mizuhara.

As a precaution, I sent a message to Sensei that I might be late due to heavy rain, but I wonder how long this rain will last.

“Towel!”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Surprised by the sudden rain, right?”

“Y-yes… It wasn’t the kind of weather to run to the station…”

“This rain seems like it will last until tomorrow, but Ikuno-kun… what will you do? You can stay over, but at the shop.”

“No, I’ll call a taxi.”

“If you take a taxi for that distance, it might cost quite a bit… There’s a bed on the second floor, so you can relax there until the rain stops.”

“That’s a bit…”

“It’s fine. I don’t mind.”

“Yes…”

Certainly, it’s quite a distance from here to home… There’s no other choice.

Let’s wait until the rain stops.

“Since you might get cold… I made cocoa. Drink it.”

“Yes! Thank you.”

“Hehe”

In the dimly lit room where the light bulb went out, Mizuhara turned on a lamp and stood there.

There was nothing particular to talk about, and I didn’t know what to say… so I looked out the window at the rain while drinking cocoa.

The sound of rain hitting the window echoed in the room.

“…”

“…”

I feel a bit… sleepy. Maybe it’s just my imagination.

I’m yawning too.

“If you’re tired… you can sleep in my bed…”

“No, that’s…”

I probably… collapsed on the floor after that.

That’s all I can remember.
