I, Who Am Somehow Only Liked by Yanderes, Tried Transferring into a Class Full of Yandere Girls - Chapter 17: Assault (Tsukimiya Shiika PoV)

Recently, Hina’s behavior has become increasingly concerning.

I, Tsukimiya Shiika, have been harboring these worries.

Lately, Hina has been talking with Yuto on the phone late into the night almost daily. Sometimes, it even lasts until morning.

How do I know?

I’ve listened to their conversations, from start to finish, without missing a single word.

Yuto has been suffering from a lack of sleep recently.

It’s all because of Hina.

What will she do if his grades start to drop?

However, this has given me more opportunities to lend him my notes.

Though I pretend to be appalled, inside, I’m trembling with joy.

Being able to help Yuto is the greatest happiness for me.

Whenever he says “Thank you” or “I’m saved because of you,” I feel like I’m ascending to heaven.

Just replaying those words in my head is enough to satisfy me threefold.

Hina has stopped hiding her obsession with Yuto.

It was evident during the recent seat change.

The seat Hina originally drew was far from Yuto’s.

But she persuaded the girl who drew the seat next to Yuto and managed to get the seat to his right.

That was a risky move.

Yuto’s seat is near the front, by the window.

Desiring such a seat would indicate her interest in Yuto.

She took that risk to be near him.

As for me, I secured the seat behind Yuto.

Hina is serious.

During breaks and lunch, she sticks close to Yuto, only leaning towards him, paying no attention to other friends.

At those moments, Hina looks completely like a girl in love.

It’s clear in her eyes.

They look feverish as if they could melt at any moment.

She emits the scent of a female in heat.

Other students might not notice, but I can because I emit the same scent.

It was during one lunch break when Hina finally made a move.

She called me out to the courtyard and the bench where we once had lunch. We sat there, alone, with no one else around.

Once we settled, I started the conversation.

“What’s up? Why did you call me out here?”

“Remember I said I had someone I liked?”

“Yes.”

“Well, that person is Yuto.”

It must have been a major confession for Hina.

But I already knew.

I had heard all their calls.

Still, I pretended to be surprised.

“Really? That’s a shock.”

I wasn’t surprised at all.

I was more interested in what she would say next.

“But why did you tell me?”

Yes, that’s the issue.

Why did she choose this moment to confide in me?

What exactly is Hina planning?

“I’ve never done this before, so I don’t know what to do. I thought you, Shiika, would be reliable.”

“I don’t have any experience either, you know?”

“But even without experience, Shiika, you devise many strategies. You’re like a wise general.”

Saying this, Hina clasped her hands together as if praying.

“So, please! Help me!”

I see. She’s trying to creep her way in gradually.

Hina is a good girl.

Bright and considerate, liked by both boys and girls.

Of course, I like her too.

I would have wholeheartedly supported her if she had fallen for some other boy. I would have listened to her problems and thought up strategies.

But if it’s Yuto she likes, that’s a different story.

“I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”

“Eh?”

She seemed shocked at being refused.

Hina looked dumbfounded for a moment before forcing a smile.

“Ah, okay. If it’s too much, that’s fine. You have your circumstances. But can I at least know why?”

“I like you, Hina. As a friend, I want to support you. But you’re not good for Yuto.”

“??”

Hina didn’t seem to understand.

She’s hurting Yuto with selfish long calls, affecting his health and studies.

Even if Hina ended up with Yuto, he wouldn’t be happy. Therefore, I can’t support them getting together. I wish for Yuto’s happiness.

Then, at that moment.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Yuto walking down the corridor.

He often goes to the vending machine in front of the cafeteria during lunchtime to buy a drink. I will probably have a yogurt tea today. Of course. I was right. I know everything Yuto likes.

The moment I saw him, an epiphany struck.

Ah, I see.

It’s simple.

“Yuto, can I talk to you for a sec?”

I quickly decided and called out to Yuto, walking in the corridor. He noticed us and approached.

“What’s up, Tsukimiya-san?”

“I have something I want to talk about.”

Hina looked startled, perhaps sensing the solemnity of the situation.

Indeed, her high communicative ability is evident. She’s a step ahead in sensing the mood.

But unfortunately, it’s too late.

I should have done this from the start.

I want Yuto to be happy.

And the one who can make him the happiest is no one but me.

I must become that special person for him to keep the bad bugs away.

To protect Yuto, this is the surest way.

I confessed to Yuto.

“I’ve always liked you, Yuto. So, would you go out with me?”
