I Want to Completely Avoid Troubled Girls, but It Seems I’ve Reincarnated as a Background Character in the Most Dangerous Yandere Academy - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Killed by a Sick Girl

I was called to the school rooftop.

Under the moonlight, a kitchen knife gleamed brightly.

The highlight in her eyes had long since lost its color.

“Hey, why can’t you understand me?”

The girl who showed an eerie smile was my girlfriend—Akashi Satsuki.

Her long hair had lost its luster at some point. Even her beautiful face, once full of grace, was no longer shining because of her obsession.

“I thought you would understand me, Issei-kun.”

“I understand. I intended to.”

For me—Shimizu Issei—Satsuki was my first girlfriend.

Since entering high school, I had desperately worked hard to change my dull, uneventful life.

After all my efforts, I finally confessed to the beautiful Satsuki, who was one of the most admired girls in the class. She accepted, and we started dating.

Satsuki was a quiet type and often described as mysterious.

To be honest, I didn’t know much about her inner self when we started dating.

That became my downfall.

“You don’t get it. If you don’t truly believe in me, it’s meaningless.”

“It’s not a lie. I truly, with all my heart, want to—”

It was a lie. It had already become a lie.

The first week was fine. When Satsuki’s true nature wasn’t showing, I could relax and be with her.

Now, things were different.

When I glimpsed her sickness, I couldn’t see her the same way anymore.

“Where are you right now?”

“Don’t ignore me.”

“Do you hate me?”

Satsuki was a yandere. She frequently sent messages like these.

Her yandere side became more apparent every day. Meanwhile, my feelings for her faded more and more.

Trying to distance myself had the opposite effect. Her obsession grew stronger.

As little misunderstandings piled up, cracks began to form in our relationship.

Then today, a big crack appeared.

I was being targeted. By Satsuki, the girl who was once my girlfriend.

“I get it. When you lie, you emphasize how sincere you are.”

“That’s not true.”

“It’s too late. A broken heart can’t be fixed. Words of convenience are like a drop of water in a desert.”

“So, they’re meaningless.”

“Yeah.”

Satsuki wasn’t smiling.

She was preparing for the actions she was about to take.

“Do you think we could start over? Or, reconsider things?”

“No. It’s absolutely impossible. You don’t understand the feelings I have for bringing you here. Trying to persuade me is pointless.”

“Ugh…”

Like a swordsman swinging his blade, Satsuki slashed the air with the knife.

I felt a chill run through my body.

It was cold, but it wasn’t just the wind. The real reason for the chill was something else.

“Finally, we can be happy together. Issei-kun, you’ll go to the other world, but that’s okay. It’s sad, but this is the only way we can have eternity.”

“I-I don’t understand. Not for that reason!”

“It seems like negotiations have failed.”

With a sigh, Satsuki said,

“Goodbye, my beloved. And, nice to meet you, Issei-kun, who will now belong to me for all eternity.”

She took her stance and, with a running start, lunged at me.

This was bad. I had to move my feet and escape. I couldn’t die here.

Run.

My body reacted too late. Satsuki’s refined movements were faster.

The knife sank deep into my stomach. Before I could feel the pain, blood began to spill.

A groan escaped my lips as the pain hit.

Through my blurry vision, the last thing I saw was Satsuki’s ecstatic expression.

“I’m so glad I met you, Issei-kun ♡”

Her sweet, melting voice seeped into my body.

…Ah, this is the worst. Yandere, damn it.

Isn’t life supposed to be the most important thing? Maybe I should’ve focused less on cute girls.

Next time, I’ll choose a normal girl.

With that firm resolution, my consciousness—

＊　＊　＊

“…Huh!?”

When I woke up, I was lying in bed.

I instinctively rubbed my stomach. I was sure Satsuki had stabbed me.

Yet, there wasn’t a single scar on my stomach.

In front of me was a typical boy’s bedroom. It wasn’t mine, though.

“This room… seems familiar?”

I got out of bed and started exploring.

It looked like a child’s room, with a bed, study desk, bookshelf, and various other items.

As I flipped through some papers, I found an odd school name.

—Yami Yami Academy.

This was ridiculous. What kind of school name is that? It sounded like something from an adult game.

No, it was definitely from an adult game.

I remembered that a friend of mine in middle school had shown me a game like that.

The name “Yami Yami Academy” was a ridiculous name, but it was definitely from that game.

Let me organize the situation.

I, killed by my sick girlfriend, Satsuki.

I reincarnated into the world of “The Worst Yandere Academy.”

And now, I discovered the academy’s name engraved on a bag I found on the floor.

It seems like I’ve reincarnated as a student of “The Worst Yandere Academy.”

…Wait.

Even in death, I can’t escape from yandere?!
