I was dumped by my childhood friend, so I went to a shrine to ask God to give me a girlfriend. Then, God gave me a special curse of being liked by a beautiful Yandere girl!

Chapter 18 : Conclusion and Making our Relationship Official!

After Kotoko and I exchanged presents, we left the aquarium. It was already 5 PM, and it seemed that both of us had forgotten about time while thoroughly enjoying the aquarium more than we had expected.

She seemed in high spirits, and it looks like choosing the aquarium was a good decision. They say that enjoyable times pass by quickly, and it’s true.

Originally, I had planned various activities after the aquarium, but… it was a bit tricky to go to them now. 5 PM is a dilemma for high school students to wonder whether they should part ways or spend a bit more time together.

…The reason being, we live in a rural area, so if it gets too late, there won’t be trains to catch. It might be hard for city dwellers to believe, but after 6 PM, the number of train services drastically decreases. If we miss one, we might have to wait for an hour or even longer for the next train.

I pondered on what to do, but considering it’s our first date, and if we stay out too late, Kotoko’s parents might worry.

With that in mind, reluctantly, I decided to end today’s date here. Well, Kotoko and I are already a couple. We can visit the places we missed on our next date. There are still plenty of trains at this time, so going home should be fine.

Looking at Kotoko, she was opening the bag of the choker I bought for her earlier and putting it on her neck right away, with a big smile on her face. I didn’t think much of it when I saw it at the store, but… chokers seem like collars, don’t they?

“Take a look, Takemitsu-kun! I put it on right away! How does it look?”

“Yeah, it suits you well.”

With Kotoko’s good looks, I think anything would suit her. It might even be harder to find something that doesn’t suit her.

“Takemitsu-kun, wear one too. Matching chokers~♡”

“Uh, sure.”

I broke the seal of the choker she gave me, and put it around my neck.

“How’s that?”

“Takemitsu-kun, it looks great on you too. Hehe~♪ Now we match~♡ It gives me shivers down my spine…♡”

Kotoko seemed extremely pleased. It feels good to see her so happy. I checked the time on my phone. It’s currently 5:10 PM. The next train should arrive around 5:30 PM, so it’s time to head to the station.

“Kotoko, it’s getting late, should we end today’s date here?”

“Eh? I’m still fine! I told my mom it might get late. Let’s stay together a bit longer.”

“I want to stay with you too, but if it gets too late, we might miss the train.”

“…You’re right. Let’s end it here for today.”

Kotoko nodded with a slightly disappointed expression. Well, I’ll definitely invite her on another date. Fortunately, summer vacation starts at the end of this month, so there will be plenty of time to spend with her during the break. I’m looking forward to spending the summer vacation with her.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

As we returned to our town on the rattling train, Kotoko rested her head on my shoulder and fell asleep.

Maybe she got tired from being too excited. Her sleeping face is also cute. Long eyelashes, clear skin, fresh lips… even while sleeping, she makes my heart race.

While looking at her sleeping face, I thought about the time when she confessed to me. I answered, “Let’s try it out since we don’t know much about each other yet.” It’s been about a week since then, and I haven’t learned everything about her, but I’ve seen various aspects of her.

Her desire to take care of others, her kindness, her jealousy, her dedication, her unexpectedly girlish tastes, her cuteness, her intimidating side… a lot. And seeing these various sides of her, I came to one conclusion.

That is, “Let’s officially start dating Kotoko.” She’s not a bad person. In fact, she’s a good person. If there’s a flaw, it’s just that she’s a bit intense in love related matters. That’s why I want to make her happy on my own… that’s what I decided.

Alright… when she wakes up, I’ll bring it up. I made up my mind in full resolution.

She woke up when we arrived at the station. Or rather, she didn’t wake up, so I shook her shoulder to wake her up.

“Eh!?” She let out a cute voice and jumped up. If we’re too relaxed, the train might depart to the next station, so we hurriedly got off.

We went out of the ticket gate and arrived at the square in front of the station. There, I faced Kotoko again.

“Kotoko, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“What’s wrong, Takemitsu-kun? You suddenly look serious? But that serious look is cool too~♡”

“Um… so, Kotoko, when you confessed to me before, I said, ‘Let’s try it out first’, right?

“Yeah, you said that.”

“Um… Kotoko-san, would you consider officially dating me and not just trying it out anymore?”

“Eh?”

Kotoko looked surprised, but soon she smiled and hugged me.

“I’m happy! So, are you going to marry me?”

“Huh, marriage?”

Isn’t that a bit too early? I thought about it, but Kotoko is not someone I want to break up with. Come to think of it, Kotoko might be a good match for marriage? She’s good at cooking, devoted, and…

While thinking about it, something soft and warm was pressed against my lips.

…Huh? What’s this? Kotoko’s face is right in front of me. So, is this… her lips? A kiss?! Mouth to mouth? Am I having my first kiss with her right now?

I’m confused by this sudden event. But… does a kiss feel this good? The softness of her lips is really pleasant.

After a while, Kotoko separated her lips from mine. It probably hasn’t been more than a minute, but it felt like a very long time to me.

“Hehe~♡ A bit early, but it’s a promise kiss! See you later, Takemitsu-kun! I had lots of fun on today’s date!”

“Huh? Uh, yeah…”

She waved to me with a slightly red face and ran towards her house. I remained standing at the station, my thoughts unable to catch up, feeling like my soul had been taken away for a while.
