I Ended Up Pretending to Be the Boyfriend of a Beautiful but Tough Classmate for Just a Month, but It Seems That She Has Awakened Her Yandere Tendencies Because of That. - Chapter 41

Chapter 41

♡

In the end, I came to Mika’s house.

Now, we’re sitting in her living room talking about yesterday, but Mika has been giggling the whole time.

“Hey, are you listening? Mika, are you listening?”

“Ah, yeah, I’m listening. So, you brought your crush to your room, but he didn’t even touch you with one finger, and you’re feeling sad about that, right?”

“That’s not it at all! I asked if guys don’t feel excited or horny when they stay at a girl’s house.”

“Same thing, basically. So, even though he didn’t do anything, you still think it was nice of him, right?”

“…Well.”

“You’re so easy, huh? Well, I’ve gotten used to hearing about your love stories lately. By the way, have there been any developments with the election?”

“Uh, not really. But, Suzukaze-kun is still supporting me and wants me to become the president, no matter what.”

“No matter what, huh?”

Mika made a slightly complicated face.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, it might just be me overthinking, but I feel like things might take a turn for the worse.”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you understand why Riara is at a disadvantage in the election right now?”

“Um, because the votes from the guys are pretty much out of reach?”

“Exactly. So, do you understand why she can’t get the guys’ votes?”

“Because she started showing off that she has a boyfriend, pushing the guys away?”

“Correct. But if she wants to win those guys’ votes back, what do you think Suzukaze-kun will do?”

Mika asked me this like she was testing me.

And I thought about the answer that Mika had in mind.

How to win the guys’ support again after I had already pushed them all away… Ah.

“No way.”

“Oh, did that come too easy?”

“Wait, Suzukaze-kun isn’t planning to cheat with Maria, is he?”

“…What?”

“I’m sure that’s it. He’ll cheat with Maria, and then when she steals him from me, the sympathy votes will come in for me, right? If that’s his plan, I’ll kill him. I won’t forgive him.”

“Wait, wait, wait!”

Mika slapped my head as I tried to stand up.

“What? What’s wrong, is that not it?”

“Not at all. Well, maybe it’s not completely wrong.”

“See, I knew it.”

“You’re jumping to conclusions. If Suzukaze-kun were planning to switch to Maria, wouldn’t he have to do something first?”

“Kill Maria?”

“That’s scary! Hmm, unless he’s not planning to date both, if he does date Maria, what happens with you?”

“…Huh?”

I hadn’t thought about that.

We were originally in a fake relationship with a time limit.

So, I hadn’t considered that he might make that decision first.

“You’re not thinking of breaking up, are you?”

“Well, it’s just a possibility. Since the relationship will end automatically after the election anyway, wouldn’t it be better to break up in a way that gives you at least some benefit? Suzukaze-kun might think like that.”

“But we promised.”

“He won’t force you into anything, but you should at least be prepared for the possibility that it might happen.”

“But we promised!”

“Riara? Hey!”

“…”

If it were Suzukaze-kun, I guess he might think like that.

He really wants me to win.

And, if we’re breaking up anyway, it would be more convenient now… That’s probably what he’d think.

Because he’s kind.

Because he’s a good guy.

…But.

“No way.”

“Riara, I’m just talking about possibilities.”

“No way, no way, no way! We promised we’d date for at least a month! He’s going to break up with me? I won’t accept that! If that happens, I’ll go kill Maria right now.”

“Calm down!”

“Mika, breaking up with me would be the same as cheating, right?”

“I don’t think so at all.”

“B-But… Breaking a promise is the same as being a cheating guy. That means it doesn’t matter to him that we’re dating, right?”

“If you really hate it that much, just say you hate it. He won’t force you.”

“…I’m going.”

I stood up and left Mika’s house.

Mika chased me to the door and told me, “Don’t do anything weird.”

But I didn’t answer her, I just ran straight out.

I headed to his house.

“You’re such an idiot… I won’t accept that.”

We promised.

We promised to be boyfriend and girlfriend for a month.

We promised.

He promised to support me.

We promised… So many promises.

Why am I already crying when nothing has been said yet?

It’s just a guess.

But thinking about breaking up…

I can’t see the future.

“We promised we’d go to the aquarium again…!”

“Hey, Kagami, what did you do at Riara-chan’s house?”

“Nothing, I just drank coffee and slept.”

“Really? Hmm.”

As soon as I got home, my mom started questioning me.

She came to me with a grin on her face, more than I expected, and kept up with the same line of questioning.

“What did you do? What did you do? What did you do?”

Since it was getting annoying and I didn’t want to sound like I was making excuses, I just gave short answers.

Ding dong

The doorbell rang.

“Oh, I wonder if it’s Riara-chan. Hehe, I’ll go greet her!”

My mom was excited; she left me behind and went to the door.

“Welcome, Riara-chan… huh? What’s wrong?”

My mom, opening the door, was surprised and called out.

I hurried to check, and sure enough, Takamiya was standing there.

She was crying.

“Sniff… G-good morning… ugh… Kagami-kun, is he…?”

“J-just come inside quickly. Kagami, stop being dazed and come here!”

My mom, flustered, called me and then ran to the kitchen.

I walked over to Takamiya, who had tears streaming down her face, and she slowly looked at me.

“…Idiot.”

“Huh?”

“Idiot, idiot, idiot! What do you mean, breaking up?! I hate people who break promises!”

“Calm down. What are you talking about?”

I tried to calm her down as she shouted at the entrance, and we went inside.

Once we were in the living room, I made her sit on the sofa.

Just then, my mom entered the living room with some drinks.

“Here you go, Riara-chan. A nice warm cocoa. Drink this and calm down.”

“Th-thank you, aunt… sniff.”

“Kagami, you come over here for a second.”

“…Okay.”
