My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 38

Following Sensei’s advice, I quit my part-time job at the cafe and started a new one.

It’s a fifteen-minute walk from home. Sensei said, “That distance is reassuring!” and I decided to work there without worrying about the hourly wage. Sensei, who should have been tired from work, would sometimes take the car because of me, so I chose a place nearby to avoid that.

“Get it together, Ibuki.”

What happened back then was really annoying.

…

“Isn’t it almost time for the summer festival, Ik-kun?”

“Yes. That’s right. But…”

“What’s wrong?”

“There are still things that need to be resolved… or so I feel.”

Since then, I don’t know what happened, but I can’t sense the stalker’s presence.

More precisely, I haven’t felt it since I quit that part-time job. I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel those eyes that I had felt for a few days. It might be my imagination, but it was really strange not to feel it at all.

Sensei also said that, did they give up? That person.

“Could it be about that stalker?”

“Ah, yes. I’ve been worried about it.”

“If that’s the case, I think you don’t need to worry. We’ll always be together… We’ll drive to where the summer festival is held.”

“That’s true, but… Aren’t you scared, Sensei? I have no idea where that person is or what they’re planning…”

“I’m scared. I’m scared, but I don’t want to think about it because I want to have fun with you. I want to go to the summer festival with Ik-kun.”

…

Sensei wasn’t scared at all.

Why is that? I don’t understand. Sensei, who always had the same smile, patted my head while saying that. Her face… seemed as if she didn’t care at all about that stalker.

Maybe it’s just my imagination.

“Do you not want to hang out with me, Ik-kun?”

“N-no… It’s not like that!”

“So, don’t worry about the stalker. Nothing will happen!”

“Yes…”

Tomorrow is the day of the summer festival. I’ll wear the yukata Sensei bought for me and walk around together.

It seems fun, but I wonder if I really don’t need to worry about the stalker. I felt a little anxious.

And after finishing the dishes, I noticed a call from Haruto.

“Kanzaki-san, a friend called me.”

“Okay.”

Come to think of it, what is this guy doing during the summer vacation?

After telling me about the part-time job, we hadn’t been in touch, and I… was busy with Sensei and work. Maybe he’s playing games alone now. He said he spent last year like that.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Okay!”

I left the house and answered the phone while looking at the night sky.

“Hey! Ibuki, what are you doing?”

“I… had dinner and just finished washing the dishes.”

“I see. So, why did you quit the part-time job? The hourly wage there was really good…”

“Haha… That’s true, but it was a bit far from home.”

“Didn’t things work out with Kyoko-chan?”

“Huh?”

Out of the blue, what…

“Kyoko-chan… She hasn’t been answering my calls lately. I was wondering if something happened.”

“Is that so…? I’m not sure. If you’re worried about Mizuhara, why don’t you go to the shop? You introduced me to that part-time job, so you should know the place, right?”

“Oh, that’s true. But I can’t go there right now.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. I have something to do, so I’m out right now.”

“I see. Is that all you wanted to ask? If you have something to do, you don’t have to call me specifically for that.”

“Oh, Kyoko-chan really liked Ibuki, you know. I… want Ibuki to be happy. I tried to bring you two together, but it seems like it’s not going well…”

“I see.”

Well, I had a hunch… but that guy really… with me and Mizuhara…

More than that, it’s too sudden. I’ve told him before that it would be good for you to have a girlfriend, but it’s the first time he’s actively trying to set us up. Rather, it’s scary… why is he so obsessed with our relationship?

It’s not like we have to be together, right? He’s too concerned about other people’s relationships.

“Well, maybe I think that way because Haruto is my only friend. It’s okay. I’m fine as I am now.”

“No! Ibuki has to be happy! Kyoko-chan will surely be a good girlfriend! Ibuki!”

“Oh, is that so? But…”

“I’ve dated Kyoko-chan before, so I know! You two will surely get along well! Ibuki!”

“Haha…”

And suddenly, Sensei hugged me from behind.

“….!”

“What’s wrong? Ibuki?”

I flinched and made a weird noise…

When did she come up behind me?

“No, it’s nothing!”

Then, Sensei whispered to me.

In a soft voice, she said, “Is it Yuuki-kun?” and nodded.

Sensei smiled gently, and Haruto, who was on the other end of the phone, said, “What’s wrong, Ibuki? What happened?”

For some reason, Sensei hugged me tightly.

And…

“Hey! Ibuki. What’s wrong…!?”

She took my phone from me and hung up.

“Huh?”

“The conversation was long. If it’s just chit-chat, can’t we do it at school? I want to be with Ik-kun now.”

“Y-yes…”

“My body is getting cold, so let’s go back. Even though it’s summer, the temperature drops at night.”

“Yes…”

Sensei was smiling.

And casually turned off the phone.

“Shall we play games together until bedtime today? Since it’s the summer festival tomorrow, I want to sleep until noon and relax!”

“Is that so? Then let’s do that.”

“Yeah!”

Well, if Sensei hadn’t hung up the phone… I might have been listening to that guy’s story for a while.

Later on… I’ll say the battery died.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Okay, okay~”

By the way, Sensei… is really excited.
