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 35 : My Decision!

Kotoko and I watched Kashiwagi being taken away by her mother. then Kotoko and I headed to school. Once we entered our classroom and took our seats, Kouta turned around and started talking to me.

“Good morning, Takemitsu! Hey, have you heard the news about Yokohama?”

“Yokohama…? What happened?”

At this point, I only knew that he, like Kashiwagi, had been suspended from school. His final punishment would likely be decided in the staff meeting today or tomorrow. Probably expulsion, I thought.

“Well, he got stabbed this morning. He’s currently undergoing emergency surgery at the hospital.”

“What the fuc—?”

Yokohama got stabbed? Well, considering how much he had earned the resentment of others, it wasn’t surprising. But who could have done it?

I asked Kouta for more details. According to him, it seems the one who stabbed Yokohama was one of the girls he had abandoned. The girl was also apparently pregnant with Yokohama’s child, and upon hearing about the incident, her anger exploded, leading to a violent act. She stabbed him several times in the abdomen and groin with a knife.

Furthermore, due to this incident, Yokohama’s misconduct became known not only to the entire student body but also to the parents of the victims of his cruelty and bullying. It seems some parents are even considering filing a police report for assault.

Yokohama’s family must be going through a tough time. They might end up in chaos as well. But the speed at which the details of Yokohama’s misconduct spread within a day is quite remarkable. Could someone have intentionally leaked the information?

“He got what he deserved. It’s payback for all the things he’s done.”

Koita berated Yokohama with a satisfied expression. He probably accumulated a lot of frustration from being insulted by Yokohama. Kouta continued speaking with a sense of relief.

“All thanks to Sena-san, who organized the ‘Yokohama Victim’s Association’, gathered evidence, and exposed everything. If it weren’t for Sena-san, his misdeeds might never have come to light. Thank you, Sena-san!”

Kouta turned to Kotoko and expressed his gratitude. Indeed, Kotoko, who organized the “Yokohama Victim’s Association” and collected evidence, seems to be the most deserving person in this incident.

“I just wanted to get rid of the pests crawling around Takemitsu-kun~♪”

Kotoko casually said with a smile. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that she might be the one who spreaded the details of Yokohama’s misconduct to the entire school. An intuition flashed in my mind.

“What’s wrong, Takemitsu-kun~♡”

She directed her brightest smile at me. I couldn’t bring myself to ask her about it. It seemed better not to upset her.

Thanks to her, though, we could enjoy our summer vacation without any worries. Two more days are left until the summer break arrives. I am looking forward to it…

After school on the way home, I escorted Kotoko to her house before returning to my own.

During the journey, enjoying the summer scenery, the shrine where I received the mysterious bead caught my eye.

Thinking back, this past month has been eventful. But overcoming those hardships and having Kotoko as my girlfriend was all thanks to the shrine… I mean, the necklace I received from the self-proclaimed god.

I decided to show my gratitude by offering some money again and stopped in front of the shrine.

Taking out the necklace hanging around my neck, I noticed it looked even more duller than when I last saw it – rather, it seemed to have completely lost its radiance. What could have happened?

Anxiety crept in as I looked at the necklace. What would happen when the necklace’s power wore off?

Maybe Kotoko would start disliking me?

It was a plausible scenario. Upon careful consideration, she might have developed feelings for me due to the mysterious power of the bead. Otherwise, it was impossible for an ordinary guy like me to have such a beautiful girlfriend.

Suddenly, a realization hit me.

Conversely, Kotoko might be forced to like me because of the necklace’s power. It could be interpreted as rewriting her feelings towards me through the necklace’s influence.

Forcibly rewriting someone’s feelings. That was… unforgivable.

The fact that I had done something so absurd made my heart pound, and guilt overwhelmed me. I couldn’t stand and knelt down right there.

What a scumbag I was. I prayed for forgiveness for my foolishness and the tears welled up at the realization.

I made a decision. I would stop this. I needed to free Kotoko from the power of this necklace and return things to their original state.

Even if she ended up liking someone else after being liberated… I would support that. Her happiness was the most important.

I placed the necklace back at the shrine, filled with gratitude for what it had granted me.

“God! I’ve made a terrible mistake. I’m a foolish person who tried to make a girl fall for me not with my own charm but with the power of a tool. Girls should fall for someone because of their own charm, right? So, I return this gift. From now on, I… will atone for my sins towards her.”

I wondered if Kotoko would forgive me once she was free from the power of the bead. Maybe she would be so angry that I might get expelled from school. Still, I couldn’t leave my sins unatoned.

Returning the ‘gift’ to the shrine, I ran home and slipped into bed.

Memories of Kotoko and me happily enjoying ourselves flashed in my mind. The confession on the rooftop, the lunch we shared, our first date, studying together. Despite the various ups and downs, it was enjoyable. But, in reality, those were experiences I shouldn’t have had.

Kotoko, goodbye… I cried in bed. Eventually, exhausted from crying, I fell asleep.

PoV : ???

After Takemitsu left the ‘gift’ and ran off, a man slowly crawled out from the shrine’s main hall. It was the bearded man who had handed the gift to him. Taking the discarded necklace, the bearded man muttered to himself.

“Young man, you misunderstand. The power of this necklace is not that kind of thing. Oh well, I’ll have to support you a bit.”

The bearded man put the necklace back in his pocket, left the shrine, and disappeared into the night.

PoV : Takemitsu Saeki

“Good morning, Mom…”

“You look terrible. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, really…”

I woke up at 7 AM the next day. Normally, I would still be sleeping at this hour, but I didn’t feel like sleeping any longer. Despite not being in the mood to go to school, I had to apologize to her.

I ate the breakfast my mother had prepared while lost in thought about Kotoko. How could I atone for my sins towards her?

At that moment, the doorbell rang. Since my mother wasn’t home, I opened the front door.

There stood Kotoko just like I had left her yesterday as she looked at me with the same affectionate smile.
