My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 65-66

Chapter 65: Hot Spring Trip Part 4

So, it turns out… it was her after all. Sensei in front of me now, was she really Reina from back then?

But it’s strange. I didn’t say anything to her back then, just went straight to Sasaki-san’s house, so I thought she must have long forgotten about me. Yet, she remembered… Going through all that trouble just to get closer to me…

It’s been a while since then, and I had forgotten about Reina too, so I guess it couldn’t be helped.

I didn’t want to think much about that time.

But now, she’s right in front of me.

We went to a nearby restaurant and continued talking.

I never expected to talk about that time with her. I wasn’t really alone. And Reina from back then searched for me. I was really happy about that.

She was a dear friend, the only one.

“Hehe, Ik-kun didn’t even notice me, it was cute and funny.”

“Really… And, I’m sorry…”

“Why apologize?”

“Back then, I… didn’t know what to do, so I was just standing in front of your house, then Sasaki-san came to pick me up. She said, ‘Let’s go together.’ But I couldn’t say that Reina was there. So I ended up going to Sasaki-san’s house. I couldn’t say anything…”

“I see, I knew about that. I also talked to Sasaki-san about it.”

“Really? You were in touch with Sasaki-san… But why didn’t you contact me? You knew Sasaki-san’s contact information, right? Why didn’t you ask how I was doing?”

“That’s because… I wasn’t sure.”

“Sure…”

“Yeah. At that time… I couldn’t do anything for you. All I could do was cry with you when I saw how much you were suffering. But that was just sympathizing with your sadness, it didn’t solve anything.”

While feeding me steak cut with a knife, she continued talking.

“…………”

“Hey, long ago, Hanako-san asked me. After I was gone… Ik-kun would be alone, so please take care of him. But I didn’t do that. I wanted to grow up quickly and take responsibility. At that time, Sasaki-san took you away and I couldn’t be by your side, but now we’re together… I think that’s okay.”

“Yeah… Come to think of it, when we were at school, I felt like you were only kind to me…”

“Isn’t that obvious? I’m not interested in other guys, you know~”

“Oh…”

“The time the three of us spent together is my treasure. Hanako-san is no longer here, but I’m still by Ik-kun’s side! We… will always be together, right? Ik-kun?”

“Yeah. Always together.”

I had long forgotten about Reina, but she turns out to be my homeroom teacher, and I’m dating her.

That alone was enough.

Yeah, it’s enough. I don’t have to be sad about Mom anymore. Because I have… Reina from back then. The hour we spent together at the restaurant… It felt like she took me back to that time just a little bit.

She reminded me of the time I laughed with Mom… It’s okay, that’s enough…

“No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side, Ik-kun. If you ever feel pain remembering that time… talk to me anytime.”

“Yeah, thanks, Reina.”

“Hehe.”

Second day of the onsen trip. Remembering Sensei I had long forgotten, I might never be separated from her again. Just being not alone made me really happy, and the person who stayed close by was Reina. We promised to be together forever.

There’s no better choice than that.

“We’re going home tomorrow…”

“Yeah. Did you want to stay longer?”

“Yeah. But… we have to go home, right? We both have work.”

“Yeah. I have… part-time work.”

“Let’s both do our best.”

“Yeah.”

That night too… we slept cuddled together.

The warmth felt so comforting that I didn’t want to leave Sensei. I never thought there’d come a day I’d seek comfort like this. When I go home… it’ll be back to the routine of part-time work and studying. Right now, I just wanted to be healed by Sensei’s warmth.

It feels really nice…

“…………”

Seeing Ibuki leaning on her, Reina casually stroked his head.

…

“It really went by in a flash.”

“Yeah~”

“But it’s okay because I can be with Reina again. Should we go together next year too?”

“To the hot springs?”

“Anywhere’s fine. I want to travel with Reina.”

“Yeah! Let’s go!”

I held Sensei’s hand as we returned to the apartment.

And then—

“Hmm? Who…”

“Hey~”

Someone we didn’t know greeted us.

“What’s wrong, Ik-kun? Heavy luggage?”

“That voice… Reina, is that you…? Lucky you, are you two living together?”

Who is this person? Why do they know Sensei’s name?

Then Sensei grabbed my wrist.

“Ik-kun, could you go downstairs?”

“Huh?”

“Quickly.”

“Huh? Why? Do you know this person? Are they an acquaintance?”

“Go downstairs quickly. Leave the rest to me, Ik-kun.”

“Oh, okay.”

Reluctantly, I put down the luggage and went downstairs.

But I… feel like I’ve met that person somewhere before. Who could they be?

That person also knows me. From somewhere before…

“Oh.”

Right. It was you—

Nakayama…

Chapter 66: Person I Don’t Want To Meet

“Hahaha. Who would’ve thought that little girl from back then would become such an impressive woman. What are you doing now? When I asked Hanako before… yeah, I think she said you became a teacher.”

“Why do I have to tell you that?”

“Haha, right. Of course, I don’t really care about that either. All I need is Ibuki.”

The same arrogant attitude as before. Does he want Ibuki…?

Why? Why did he come looking for Ik-kun now?

What does he intend to do by finding someone who’s no longer family? And that self-assured look was annoying too.

“Why did you tell me to go downstairs? I came to see my son, Reina.”

“Now? You’re no longer Ik-kun’s father. No, it’s been like that since before Hanako passed away. So why did you come to see Ik-kun now?”

“I don’t have enough money.”

“…………”

Is he after Ik-kun and Hanako’s money?

“He’s got the same personality as Hanako, so he must have saved up money. Plus, he must have a lot of money Hanako gave him. That’s all he needs. What? Is it so bad for me to ask my own son for money, Reina? By the way… you… do you like Ibuki? Why are you living in the same apartment?”

“That’s none of your business.”

“I see. Then call Ibuki. You have no business here.”

It’s always like this.

He never listens to others.

That scumbag… Hanako was killed. And she was more important to me than my own life. She lost her life because of his stupid desires… If you like gambling so much, do it with your own money. Do whatever you want as long as you don’t bother others.

But Nakayama… you didn’t do that.

“What? You’re not calling him? Hey!”

What should I do…?

I… I feel the urge to kill him right now. Because of him… because of him, I’ve endured the same pain as Ik-kun for years. Yet, why can’t I kill this person?

Next time, I’ll definitely kill him… I decided that.

I didn’t want to become a criminal.

I have to control this urge right now… If I kill someone here, my future, a happy future with Ik-kun, will disappear. I knew he would show up in front of us someday, but why today?

What should I do… I don’t know.

Ibuki…

“Oh, you’re here, Ibuki.”

“Why did you come here? Nakayama.”

“Nakayama, huh… Ibuki!!! Just give me the money! I have an important appointment right now! You got a lot from my dead mother, didn’t you?”

“No… That money… it’s what my mother left for me. I won’t give it to you.”

“Ik-kun…”

At that moment, Ik-kun held my hand.

Just like back then…

“Go home! I’ve called the police…”

“Hahaha, so that’s how it is! Damn it… You were my possession. Just like Hanako, you were just here to earn money quietly. And yet, you’re saying ‘no’ just like Hanako? Even though you’re Ibuki? Even though you’re Ibuki!”

“Please stop it. Ik-kun is no longer your son!”

“Yeah, I’m Ichinose Ibuki. I’m not… your son anymore! I don’t know how you found out where I am, but if you come here again… I’ll kill you.”

“…………”

Wait… what…? Huh? Was that Ik-kun?

Did Ik-kun just say that?

“If you want to kill me, go ahead! You can’t do anything to me anyway!”

“………. For years, I’ve wondered… Why did I end up like this at Sasaki-san’s house? I’ve been thinking about it alone all this time. It’s all because of you, Nakayama.”

Cough Cough…

Ik-kun was choking him.

“Cigarettes, alcohol, gambling… Well, that’s about it now, isn’t it? Unlike you, I’ve always been scared that you’d attack me anytime. So, I’ve been trying hard not to lose to you.”

“……….”

“I thought someday you’d say the same thing to me as you did to Mom.”

“Damn it…”

“I’m not a good person, Nakayama. I’ve just been pretending to be. Money? Haha, money’s great, isn’t it? You always wanted it, didn’t you? Money! You loved it enough to kill Mom, right? Money!”

“Hahaha, hahaha! How amusing! So amusing…”

I saw Ik-kun like that for the first time.

Scary…

It felt like I could kill him right now… He gave off that kind of vibe.

“Let go!”

“Don’t ever come here again, Nakayama. If you do, I’ll definitely kill you, even if I become a criminal. I’ll erase you from this world.”

“……….”

Maintaining his domineering attitude until the end, he listened to Ik-kun’s words and immediately left. After what he did, he couldn’t demand money like that in this situation.

More importantly, Ik-kun is scary…

“Ha… Ha…”

“Ik-kun, are you okay?”

“Sorry… Reina, I can’t stand up…”

“Huh?”

“I might have pushed myself too hard.”

“Why would you do something like that? It’s dangerous! Stop it.”

“But you know, that guy… He might do something weird to you, and I didn’t want to lose another important person like back then. It was a gamble… I’m sorry. But I feel the same way as you, wanting to protect someone you love.”

“………. Idiot.”

“And also, about Mom…”

“Huh?”

“If you ever meet Reina-chan when you grow up… Please be friends with her. That big sister will surely cherish Ik-kun. I just remembered that.”

“Yeah…”

Right then and there, I hugged Ik-kun.

I was incredibly sad, but also incredibly happy.

I found happiness.
