My Childhood Friend is a Yandere - Chapter 3 part 2

Twilight Chocolate in February

In a way, it was to be expected. It was not surprising.

I opened the letter and took a look inside.

“To Yu-kun: It’s embarrassing to write a letter, but today I’ll write a letter about feelings I can’t normally say. I like you”

“………”

Even though you are always saying this.

『I like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like youI like you』

“Waaa, I’m having a Gestalt Collapse!” (TL: basically he’s going crazy, I’ll explain more at the end of the chapter)

『I like youI like youI like youI like you. Dear Yu-kun. From Kanemori Ginchiyo.』

“She’s really dangerous.”

The letter reminded me again. I put the chocolate straight into my bag, took out my shoes, and put them on.

~Open and eat~

There was a muffled whisper.

I turned my head in the direction of the voice. The spacious entrance was empty.

“….”

I looked forward once and immediately turned around.

Ginchiyo was in the shadow of a pillar. She rushed to hide, but it was too late.

“Please stop following me!”

“I-I’m not following you. I’m just watching. I’m just watching you gently.”

That’s what people call stalking.

“Well, nevermind. It’s not like I’m guilty of anything.”

I put my bag on the floor and unwrapped the chocolate wrapper. My name was written all over the back of the wrapping paper, but I pretended I didn’t see it. Open the box. There were a few bite-sized, heart-shaped chocolates.

“Oh, that looks good”

“It’s delicious. I’m proud of it. Try it.”

nom

I picked one up and ate it. Happiness spread in my mouth.

“Delish”

“See! This chocolate has a secret!”

Ginchiyo approached me with a momentum as if she was skipping.

“Eeh”

I have a bad feeling about this. For example, foreign substances could be mixed in. Like bodily fluids that would make you want to spit them out if you heard about them… Ginchiyo would probably do things that a normal person wouldn’t.

“I made it from cacao beans. I really wanted to do it all by hand, but I just couldn’t get the stirring to work, so I had no choice but to program the mixing specifically for this. It’s a special chocolate that’s a combination of sugar, milk and Ginchiyo’s love. I can’t copy Morinaga or Meiji! I’ll never lose to them.”

(TL: Meiji and Morinaga are both one of the largest confectionery companies in the world)

Your competitor is a company?……

“uh-huh”

I was nodding my head, taking in the weight of love.

“ehh, no? Was it bad?” Ginchiyo asked anxiously.

“No, I was preparing to think you’d put some blood or something in it, so I was relieved to see that …… was more normal than I thought.”

If you think about it calmly, it was not normal to make it from cocoa beans.

“Blood? If you really want it, I’ll give it to you… but it’s probably not good or nutritious.”

“No, I don’t want it. Oh, this chocolate is just plain good.”

“Right!! I did my best.”

The girl hopped up and down happily from the bottom of her heart with a smile on her face was just cute.

Seeing her innocence made me feel foolish for being so hot headed earlier.

“I’m sorry about earlier. It’s not like I hate you or anything. I just don’t like people clinging to me.”

“Yeah, I understand. I’ll try to hold back too, and maybe keeping our distance will help our love grow. It’s like social distancing, right? Want to have a close encounter to make up?”

“I won’t”

I really hate vulgar things like that.
