My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 60

After eating a delicious dinner and spending a sweet time in bed… Ik-kun dozed off beside me. Maybe… it wasn’t good to do it twice in a row. I want to moderate it, but… it couldn’t be helped that Ik-kun looked so delicious.

When I grow up, I should be more cool, so I’m looking forward to the future.

I’m glad that it became mine before that.

“I love you ♡”

I kissed Ik-kun’s cheek while he was sleeping.

And I stared at his sleeping face.

“…………”

I won’t tell Ik-kun about the old days or about Yukikun. I’ll erase all those negative things. Ik-kun will stay the way he is… and become a splendid adult. I’ll erase anyone who persistently follows Ik-kun or spreads strange rumors. I know my way is dirty too.

But those people are even dirtier… This is all to protect Ik-kun.

And there’s still something I have to do. I won’t finish until then. Absolutely.

“… Cute. I see your sleeping face every day, but it’s really cute. Ik-kun ♡ Good night ♡”

Before going to bed, I poked Ik-kun’s cheek with my index finger.

I still love him…

…

“Huh…?”

I feel like I had a little… just a little dream from the past.

This is probably… a memory from when I was in elementary school. When I was a child, I was very passive… and I didn’t have anyone at school I could call a friend. I always studied quietly in the corner of the class, while my classmates had various fun conversations. I was the only one left out, living such a school life.

But I wasn’t always a passive girl.

For some reason, because of the fights my father and mother had, I became afraid to talk to others without realizing it. Almost every day… they argued loudly in the living room. Sometimes there were sounds of things being thrown or falling, which made me flinch. When the fight started, I had no choice but to endure it in my futon until it was over.

In a completely dark place where nothing could be seen, I gradually became passive.

“Good morning! Reina-chan!”

“Ah, uh… yeah. G-good morning…………”

“…………Yeah.”

Scary.

They always fought loudly, so I developed a strange habit.

I avoided making eye contact with others; I always… spoke while looking down. I was scared that I might get scolded if I made eye contact with others, so even though I knew there weren’t people like that, I was afraid of it when I was a child.

There were more and more days when I couldn’t go home right away.

I spent time absentmindedly at the nearby playground.

“…………”

“Huh? What’s wrong? You don’t look lost, though…………”

“…………”

“What’s wrong?”

“…………”

“Then, don’t you want ice cream!? Ice cream…! It’s really delicious, you know!”

“Ice cream…”

I was taught at school not to follow strangers, but for some reason, that person seemed very kind. And the vinyl bag she had contained green onions and various ingredients, so if she was suspicious, I was ready to run away immediately.

Her way of speaking was very gentle, and her smile was very beautiful.

I held her hand.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

“I… I am…”

Words wouldn’t come out well.

Because I was so bad at talking to people, I became a fool who couldn’t even say my own name.

“It’s okay to take your time. My name is Hanako Nakayama! Hanako-san is fine.”

“Um, Hanako-san… My name is… Reina Kanzaki! Sorry… It’s difficult for me to talk to people…”

“Is that so? It’s okay to take your time. Vanilla or chocolate! Which one do you like?”

“V-vanilla!”

“Great! I love vanilla too.”

What…? What is this situation?

Even though Hanako-san isn’t my mom, she’s kinder than my mom… and she understands me. It was strange… The adults I had seen before weren’t like this, so even if I consulted with the teacher about my family, I would be scolded.

In the end, no matter what I did, those two wouldn’t love me.

Why was I born into that family? If I had been born into a better family… things wouldn’t have turned out like this. I looked at Hanako-san and thought that I felt very sorry for myself. A child who isn’t loved by anyone… do I really need to live? I don’t know.

“Here! Eat lots, okay?”

“Oh, thank you… very much!”

“Hehe, instead of just going home like this, let’s go to the playground! Will you be my chat buddy for a bit?”

“Y-yes!”

Our hands stayed connected.

“Sigh… I’m tired.”

“Are you okay? Um… is it your stomach…?”

“Oh, this? Yeah, I’m pregnant. There’s a baby inside here, you know!?”

“A baby…!”

“Hehe. Want to feel it with your ear?”

“Y-yes!”

It felt kind of strange… I was really nervous for some reason, being a kid and all, feeling the baby inside.

“By the way, how old are you, Reina-chan?”

“I’m six years old!”

“Oh… I see. You’re an elementary school student, huh?”

“Yes!”

“Do you have any favorite things or hobbies, Reina-chan?”

Hanako-san… asked me things my mom never did, casually.

But hearing that for the first time, I couldn’t answer well.

“Um…”

“Take your time. No need to rush. We’ve got plenty of time.”

While eating ice cream beside Hanako-san, I tried to think of things I liked and hobbies.

Nothing. Nothing… I didn’t have any favorite things or hobbies.

I read books and studied to avoid getting scolded by my dad or mom. That was my life.

So—

“Reading books and studying…”

“Huh!? That’s amazing, at six years old, you like studying and reading. What do you want to be in the future, Reina-chan!? That’s it! A teacher! You seem like you’d become a teacher!”

“A teacher…?”

“Yeah! If you become a teacher… would you teach my kid? Hehe.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely become a teacher!”

“Wow! That’s great!”

While saying that, Hanako-san patted my head.

It felt really nice… and I think I’ll never forget that feeling.

I wanted to be loved by someone too…
