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 63

♤

“…Hey, it’s hard to eat like this.”

“No. We have to stay like this.”

“…”

As soon as Takamiya arrived on the rooftop, she clung to me and wouldn’t let go.

I wanted to finish my lunch quickly and ask her what she talked about with Enjou-san, but that wasn’t happening.

“Hey, Takamiya.”

“I’m staying like this all day. I’m not letting go.”

“…About Enjou…”

“I don’t know. If you say you like that bitch, I’ll stab you.”

“…Sigh.”

I didn’t know what happened, but I could guess it wasn’t a good conversation.

Well, I didn’t exactly hate it when she acted clingy like this.

“Hey, is your lunch good?”

“Y-Yeah, it’s good.”

“Do you not want to eat anything other than what I make?”

“…Yeah, I don’t.”

“Then, if Enjou was being cold to you for your sake, you wouldn’t feel anything about it?”

“I don’t really—wait, huh?”

“What? So you still like her?”

“No, that’s not it. Uh… Did Enjou-san say that?”

She was cold to me for my sake?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

“Well… yeah, she said something like that. I didn’t really get it, though.”

“…What the hell. She says that now?”

“Hey, were you and that girl close before she dumped you?”

Takamiya asked, looking concerned.

It wasn’t jealousy this time. She probably just wanted to understand more about Enjou-san in her own way.

“Well, we talked a lot, I guess. I think she didn’t have anyone she was dating, and she was the one who always talked to me first every day.”

“Hm. Was there some reason it started?”

“…No, not really. One day, she just started talking to me, and we got close naturally.”

It’s not that I forgot. There really wasn’t any special reason.

If I had to say something, it was just that we were in the same class.

“And then one day, she suddenly cut you off?”

“Yeah, pretty much.”

“I see… Hmmm.”

“Did you figure something out?”

“Nope, not at all. But Mika seemed to understand something.”

“You were with her? Then maybe we should ask Mika-san.”

“Nope, she wouldn’t tell me. She kept talking about some cheat or whatever. What’s a cheat?”

Takamiya tilted her head, completely clueless.

But now that I knew about Mika-san’s abilities, I had a vague idea of what she meant.

Mika-san’s ability was definitely a cheat.

If you relied on that kind of inhuman perception, you’d stop thinking for yourself.

That’s why she didn’t give the answer.

She was probably trying to say that.

“Well, she might at least give us a hint. Can I talk to Mika-san after school?”

“No. That’s cheating.”

“No, it’s not.”

“No means no. We’re staying together all day.”

“Then how about we all eat together?”

“No. If I act like this in front of Mika, she’ll tease me. I’d die of embarrassment.”

“…Sigh.”

I realized there was no point in arguing and stopped thinking about it.

I ate my lunch with Takamiya clinging to my arm.

Even when we went back to the classroom, she stayed glued to me.

Of course, she did the same in class.

For the rest of lunch break, she stayed attached to me, and our classmates watched with amused, knowing looks.

I was dying of embarrassment.

But Takamiya was determined to show Enjou-san this.

She refused to stop until Enjou-san, who wasn’t in the classroom, came back.

However, as if she had already seen through Takamiya’s intentions, Enjou-san only returned after the lunch break ended and Takamiya reluctantly returned to her seat.

She sat down slowly, acting like nothing had happened, and prepared for the next class.

◇

“Well then, I need to go to the student council room.”

After school.

She came straight to me, took the seat next to mine, and said that while glancing around cautiously.

“Yeah, alright. Then let me get ready, so let go of my hand.”

“No. We have to stay like this today.”

She intertwined her fingers with mine, making it hard to move.

And as expected, having her all over me in public was painfully embarrassing.

“See you tomorrow, Takamiya-san.”

“Be happy together!”

“So precious…”

The girls watching us smiled warmly and waved at Takamiya, who happily waved back.

I, on the other hand, was dying from embarrassment and hurriedly dragged Takamiya out of the classroom.

Waiting outside as if she knew we’d be coming, Enjou-san was standing in the hallway.

“Oh, hey. Good work today. I heard you joined the student council, Kagami-kun.”

She spoke as if she didn’t even see Takamiya.

I was caught off guard but decided to ignore her words.

“…Let’s go, Takamiya.”

I pretended not to hear and tried to walk away with Takamiya.

But at that moment, Enjou-san spoke quietly.

“I still like you, Kagami-kun.”

The words were so unexpected that I stopped in my tracks.

When I looked up, she was standing in the glow of the setting sun, gazing at me with flushed cheeks.

“W-What the hell are you saying?”

Takamiya clung to my arm even tighter and snapped at her.

Then—

“I was suffering too, you know. I had to transfer, so I tried to forget. But when I found out I was coming back and going to the same school as you, I felt like it was fate. I’m sorry for back then. But that was the only way I could think of to protect you. So please… let’s be close again. I’ll make up for hurting you.”

Enjou-san ignored Takamiya again and spoke to me.

Every single word, her soft voice, her bittersweet smile—everything made my head spin.

What am I even seeing? What am I hearing?

Is this really the Enjou Chō I knew?

Then what was the girl who rejected me back then?

My thoughts became a tangled mess, and for a moment, I felt dizzy.

“Ugh…”

“Are you okay, Suzukaze-kun? Hey, enough of this already.”

Takamiya held me up and glared at Enjou-san.

For the first time, Enjou-san turned her gaze to Takamiya.

She looked at her like she was something filthy.

“…You’re not worthy of him. I’ll never let you have Kagami-kun.”
