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 60

“Ah, it doesn’t really feel real. I’m the student council president, huh?”

After school, Takamiya came to my house with me.

While we were drinking tea in my living room and talking about what would happen from tomorrow onwards, she said that with a worried expression.

“Well, same for me. We’ll just have to figure things out as we go.”

“But Maria will probably start coming to school tomorrow, so I wonder if she’ll try to interfere with us.”

“Well, we won’t know until tomorrow. And we’re still not sure if Tokito-san is really on our side.”

We won the election.

That’s why we can be together like this without anyone interfering.

But there are still plenty of things to be worried about.

And for me, another big source of anxiety has just been added.

“……”

“Hey, you’re zoning out again. Are you thinking about the transfer student?”

“N-no, I’m not! I don’t know where you got that fork from, but put it down!”

Since the election, Takamiya stopped avoiding me.

But instead, for some reason, she’s become more aggressive.

What’s with her? Could it be that she’s actually a bit of a psycho?

“Hmph, it’s because you keep spacing out even though we’re together. Hey, is it not fun being with me?”

She suddenly looked at me with anxious eyes.

Well, yeah, I guess it wouldn’t feel good if the person you’re with kept getting lost in thought.

At least when I’m with Takamiya, I should stop overthinking things.

“It’s fun. I wish the weekend would come sooner.”

“…Yeah. We’re going to the aquarium. What should we eat after that?”

“Anything but that café. It was good, but still.”

“Fufu, true. Then let’s look for a place together after this.”

Takamiya, who had been sitting across from me, moved to my side.

We sat shoulder to shoulder, looking at her phone together as we searched for restaurants in the neighboring town.

Occasionally, our shoulders would brush against each other, and each time, we’d glance at one another and get a little embarrassed.

That peaceful moment was soon interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

“Oh, maybe my mom’s back.”

“I’ll go greet her too. Hehe, I wonder what we’re having for dinner today.”

We walked together to the entrance, and Takamiya was the one to open the door first.

And there—

“Huh? Isn’t this Kagami-kun’s house?”

Standing there was a girl.

A small girl with a well-defined face that I recognized, looking puzzled.

“Enjou…”

“Oh, there you are. Hello, Kagami-kun. Were you hanging out with a friend? Hehe, I just moved nearby today, so I came to say hi. My dad got transferred here again—it’s surprising, right?”

As I stood there in shock behind Takamiya, Enjou smiled at me without a hint of malice.

But, of course, Takamiya, standing between us, was not about to stay silent.

“Well, you’ve said your hello, so can you leave now?”

“Oh my, was I interrupting something? Sorry about that. I’ll come back another time.”

“See you later,” she said.

Enjou left with a calm and composed farewell.

◇

“Hey, what was that? Cheating? That was totally cheating, right? You invited your side chick over? You’re the worst.”

Back in the living room.

But the sweet atmosphere from earlier was completely gone.

Takamiya stood over me, who had been forced to sit down, and kept pressing me for answers.

“No, I’m telling you, it’s not like that!”

“It totally is! A girl just randomly showing up at your house? That’s not normal!”

“No, she didn’t come to hang out!”

“She did! So, who exactly is that girl?”

She looked angry, but at the same time, her eyes were slightly watery.

I wanted to tell her to trust me, but first, I needed to explain things properly.

I didn’t know what Enjou’s goal was, but I did know who she was.

Keeping secrets wouldn’t be fair.

“…That girl, Enjou, she’s the reason for my trauma.”

“Huh? You mean from middle school?”

“Yeah. I don’t know why she transferred here, but I’m the one most shaken up by how she’s acting so familiar with me.”

As I spoke, the past I had nearly forgotten started coming back to me.

The cold, dismissive eyes.

The words she spat out: “Don’t get involved with me.”

In Enjou style…

“Ugh…”

“H-hey, are you okay? You’re sweating like crazy!”

“S-sorry, I just—”

“No, I should be the one apologizing. I didn’t expect that girl to be the one who—”

After exchanging apologies, we both sat down, feeling drained.

“Sigh… but honestly, I feel a bit relieved after saying it out loud.”

“Hey, why is she suddenly acting all friendly with you now? Didn’t she do something terrible to you?”

“I don’t know… maybe she doesn’t even realize it herself.”

“What? That’s ridiculous. Tomorrow at school, I’ll tell her straight up to stay away from you.”

“N-no, you don’t have to do that. This is my problem.”

“If it’s your problem, then it’s my problem too! Because I’m, um… y-your… girlfriend…”

She blushed furiously and looked down, seemingly embarrassed by her own words.

Really, she always ends up saving me.

“Yeah, thanks. But don’t start a fight, okay? I’d worry about you.”

“Who are you worried about?”

“Idiot, obviously you.”

“…Okay. Then leave it to me tomorrow.”

And with that, the conversation wrapped up.

Just as Takamiya was about to sit next to me again, this time, my mom really did come home.

As usual, she got all excited seeing Takamiya.

But this time, Takamiya clung to her even more than usual.

The two of them happily cooked together, completely ignoring me, so I got bored and lazed around in my room until dinner was ready.

◇

“Your mom’s not home again today?”

“Yeah, but it’s fine. Just text me when you get home.”

After dinner, I walked Takamiya home.

But when we arrived, I couldn’t help but feel uneasy seeing how empty her house was.

However, she seemed more cheerful than usual.

Maybe winning the election lifted a weight off her shoulders, despite the lingering issues.

“Alright, see you tomorrow. If anything happens, let me know right away.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

I waited until she went inside before heading home myself.

Just as I got back to my room and was about to send her a message—

I saw that she had already sent one first.

“What? I was supposed to message first… huh?”

It was just one message.

But when I read it, my eyes widened.

“You’re really not meeting with Enjou-san, right? Hey, you did go straight home, didn’t you? I’m just asking because I’m worried, okay? It’s not like I’m trying to control you or anything! As your girlfriend, I’m just concerned for your safety, that’s all! Hey, there’s really no one else there, right? Can you call me instead of texting? Actually, a video call would be better! It’s fine to keep it on until you fall asleep, right? We can stay connected on LINE the whole time, right?”

It was a heavy message.

Takamiya really is the jealous and obsessive type.

But, you know…

Even though it’s kind of a hassle, more than anything, I just—

I find it adorable.

It’s proof that I like her that much.

She’s really cute.

And honestly, right now, I don’t even care about Enjou anymore.

Because there’s someone far more important right beside me.

“…Oh crap, she’s calling.”

I quickly picked up the phone.

Of course, Takamiya thoroughly interrogated me.
