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 36 : Our Future!

Chapter 36 : Our Future!

Upon opening the front door, Kotoko stood before me as usual just like she would at any other day.

Why is Kotoko at my house? The power of the necklace should have worn off already since I returned it to the shrine, right? Maybe… she came to seek revenge now that the power has worn off. If that’s the case, there’s only one thing for me to do.

“Sorry, Koto—… Sena-san!”

I bowed deeply towards her. Since it would be strange to address her by her first name as she is no longer the same person, I reverted to using her last name.

“I’ve been deceiving you all along. I’m truly sorry!”

As I was bowing, I couldn’t see her current expression. However, the pressure I felt from her… that terrifying, anger-filled pressure I had experienced so many times before, was gradually overflowing from her.

Ah, she’s definitely angry. It’s only natural. I made her like me using the mysterious power of the magatama.

“…What do you mean?”

Her low voice echoed.

“I’ve been cheating using the power of the necklace all this time. I’m a despicable person, whether sincere or kind. So… I have no right for you to like me. I’m really sorry for everything!”

I desperately threw words of apology at her. I didn’t know if she would forgive me. But right now, all I could do was apologize desperately.

“So, Takemitsu-kun wants to… break up with me?”

…Huh? Something feels off in our conversation. Isn’t she angry because she was deceived by the necklace?

“Uwah!”

The next moment, I was forcefully pulled up by my collar. Then, she made me stand up forcibly. It was the first time I saw her face. A sad expression… tears flowing from her eyes… and no light was seen in her eyes.

“Why, why, why, why, why? We loved each other so much, didn’t we? Why are you saying you want to break up now? I love you so much. Did you not like me? What do you not like about me? Tell me, and I’ll fix it. I’ll do anything for you. I’ll make three meals a day, and even snacks for you. I’ll do the laundry every day, including ironing, and I’ll clean the house until it sparkles. You don’t even have to work in the future. I’ll work and earn for both of us. Besides, my family is wealthy, so we have plenty of assets. So, you can just relax at home. And, I’ll take care of your sexual needs the way you want, and if we have a baby, I’ll raise it properly with responsibility. If you’re tired, I’ll give you a massage, and if you want healing, I’ll give you a lap pillow anytime. I’ll do everything you want… so please don’t leave me!”

She clung to me while crying and spouted curses like a spell.

What is happening? Didn’t the power of the necklace wear off when I returned it to the shrine? She still seems to love me.

She separated from me for a moment, her vacant eyes swaying.

“Or… maybe I should completely enchant you? Yeah, that’s right! If I completely enchant you, you’ll never leave me. I should have done this from the beginning. If I make you unable to live without me… This will solve all the problems, right?”

Saying so, she clung to me again and brought her face close, giving me a passionate kiss. No, this isn’t a usual deep kiss… When she gets serious, it’s an intense one to completely capture my mind and heart.

“Sorry, Takemitsu-kun. I won’t hold back anymore~♡ So… will you fall for me even more?”

My head was filled with confusion. Does she still love me? Wasn’t the power of the necklace rewriting Kotoko’s emotions? But now that I think about it, if the glow of the necklace disappeared and its power weakened, from that point, the power to rewrite her emotions should have gradually weakened as well. However, instead of her affection changing or weakening, it seemed to be getting stronger every passing moment we shared together.

So, does the power of the necklace not rewrite her emotions? If it didn’t manipulate her feelings, does she genuinely like me? Trying to analyze desperately with a head that seemed about to fall, I strained my remaining strength to forcibly detach her and asked to confirm.

“Sena-san… do you like me?”

“I love you! I really love you! I can’t think of anyone else! Because I can feel my genes seeking you…!”

She said that while stroking her stomach… Confused, I continued my questions.

“Do you have any strange fog in your head or someone forcibly instructing you to like me?”

“There’s absolutely nothing like that. My head is clear. There’s no way someone could give me instructions. I genuinely fell in love with you!”

“Why do you like me, Kotoko?”

“The trigger was when you saved me from the two delinquents. My heart throbbed, and I couldn’t help but be curious about you. And as we started dating, I was drawn more and more to your sincere and kind aspects. I thought, ‘This person… will make me happy.’ And yet…”

Having heard that much, I bowed deeply again. She looked puzzled at first but soon had a dissatisfied expression, demanding an explanation.

“Takemitsu-kun, explain!”

I quickly stood up and explained everything to her.

“In other words… Takemitsu-kun, you thought you forcibly rewrote my feelings with the power of that necklace?”

“That’s correct.”

“…You’re surprisingly superstitious, Takemitsu-kun. There’s no way there’s a sacred tool inhabited by the power of a god in this world. Probably, that suspicious old man was just teasing you.”

“If you put it that way, I start feeling that way too. There’s no god in this world. That sacred jewel was just something a suspicious old man at the shrine happened to give me as a joke, and maybe I’ve been deceived by it all along.”

Kotoko’s feelings don’t seem to have changed even after returning the sacred jewel, and maybe that’s the truth.

“But I still think Takemitsu-kun is sincere and kind. A regular person wouldn’t have said such things to the other person. You did it because you felt sorry for me, right? Because you’re kind, you want me to be happy. Normal people can’t do that. I like that about you!”

She said that with a smile while hugging me. It’s embarrassing when she puts it that way.

I used to think that sincerity and kindness were unnecessary to be popular with girls. After all, the people who were popular were always like those in Yokohama, lacking kindness and sincerity.

I’ve heard stories that sincerity and kindness are symbols of weakness, and that’s why girls don’t appreciate such things.

But now I think sincerity and kindness are important. The people who matter do notice. That’s why I want to make those people happy.

I turned to Kotoko again.

“Kotoko Sena, I… I like you. Would you go out with me?”

“Of course! If you try to let me go next time, I won’t allow it, you know? As a penalty for making me sad, you owe me two hours of kissing and marking with my scent. Since school ends in the morning today, we have plenty of time.”

“Eh!? Kotoko, please be gentle with me…”

I will make her happy. That’s my resolution.

We confirmed our feelings for each other once again and headed to school with our arms linked.

…But in the end, what was that sacred jewel meant for?

◇◇◇◇◇◇

PoV : God

“Hohoho… Looks like those two are getting along well.”

The bearded man hid in the shadow of a utility pole near the Saeki house, watching the two.

“Young man, the effect of this sacred jewel is limited. It’s just a divine tool that creates the ‘trigger’ to be liked by yandere girls. So after that girl started liking you, the effect faded away.”

The bearded man held the sacred jewel that Takemitsu had returned to the shrine and continued speaking.

“You misunderstood the power of this sacred jewel. It doesn’t have a strong power to rewrite people’s emotions. Well, frankly, my divine power is weak, so I could only make such a divine tool…”

This bearded man was not a well-known god. He did not appear in Japanese mythology, and only a few people in this region worshiped him. Moreover, due to the extinction of the family of priests who had traditionally worshiped this god, the shrine where this god resided was dilapidated.

He couldn’t use his divine power properly. However, as a god of matchmaking, he squeezed out the last of his power to present the sacred jewel to Takemitsu.

“I said this when I first gave it to you, didn’t I? ‘If you disappoint her expectations, you’ll be stabbed.’ In other words, it only creates a ‘trigger’ for falling in love, and what happens after that depends on the person’s efforts. Rest assured. You made that girl fall for you with your own charm.”

The god gently stroked his long beard, then took out the 500 yen he had received from Takemitsu as an offering.

“Now that my job as a god is done, I think I’ll use this 500 yen you gave me to buy some cup sake. Hohoho!”

The god watched the two head to school and then left the scene.
