My Childhood Friend is a Yandere - Chapter 6 part 1
Those Who Left in November
When I woke up, the bathroom was decrepit.
“What is this place…..”
I was lying at the bottom of the bathtub.
Water stains were sticking and it was very dirty.
I looked up and saw an incoming call on my iPad, which was propped up on the bathtub lid.
“…..”
The incoming call screen displayed Game Master.
I swiped the answer button with a blurred consciousness from sleep.
“Hello……?”
A muffled mechanical voice played. It was mixed with noise, but I could roughly guess the culprit.
“Is it Ginchiyo?”
“….it’s Game Master.”
“Where am I? I’m pretty sure I slept in my bed last night. You’ve finally resorted to kidnapping and confinement. Even if you do this, I’ll never fall in love with you.”
“Let’s play games!”
The mysterious mechanical voice continued in a slightly depressed tone.
“You have always prioritized Pico Pico, despite the fact that you have a cute childhood friend. That’s no way to nurture love.”
“You can’t make love when you’re not even in a relationship. I mean, this is a real crime. Where is this place?”
“Your parents are very worried about you, who, despite being a student preparing for the exam, still prioritize Pico Pico.”
“Don’t just throw reality at me out of the blue……”
I’m having a hard time deciding what school I want to go to. At least let me escape from reality.
“I want you, the Pico Pico lover, to enjoy the game as much as you want today. It’s an abandoned building that I bought with the money I made from stocks. There are three stages in total. I hope you can escape.”
“Hey, what did you say in the end…”
Beep. And the call ended.
“Solid situations and the like are a little late in fashion.”
The soliloquy rang hollow.
The smell of mold filled my nose.
I wonder if this place is properly disinfected or something.
“Well, whatever. Let’s sleep.”
I decided to sleep twice, because dealing with her would only make me tired.
I curled up again in the bathtub. A little stiff, but nothing that could prevent me from sleeping.
Because, I didn’t get enough sleep.
I stayed up late playing games.
A pleasant sleepiness soon came over me, but it was interrupted by another incoming call to the iPad.
“What the h*ll, Shut up.”
At first I decided to ignore it, but it didn’t seem to stop ringing until I picked it up so I had no choice but to answer.
It was a video call.
There was Ginchiyo wearing a fox mask.
“The Game Master has one important announcement.”
“Nope, it’s Ginchiyo. I saw you buying it on the school trip last year.”
“Geh, I’m Game Master.”
“Okay okay I get it. So, what’s this all about”
“There is a time limit. Take a look at this.”
The screen slowly displayed the back of Ginchiyo.
“Aah!”
My PS4!
“Hey, What are you doing?!”
A bowling ball bound with chains was above the PS4.
“The bowling ball is programmed to fall when the time comes.”
“Program is….”
Gradually the camera moved to reveal the full picture.
The chained ball was wedged through a beam in the ceiling and into a block of ice placed in a tub.
A uselessly exaggerated Pythagora switch. (TL: basically like Rube Goldberg Machine or like a domino effect thing)
“If nothing is done, in three hours the ice will melt, the ball will fall, and your Pico Pico will be destroyed.”
“Seriously, you’ve got to be kidding me! Don’t you even know the difference between what you should and shouldn’t do?!”
“I have permission from the parents. They determined that Yu-kun’s pico-picoing is the cause of his not studying for the exam, and were about to send it to the scrap yard.”
“…….”
I can’t believe it. Yes, I had been told for some time that I played too many games and that they would sell them if I didn’t refrain from playing, but I didn’t realize they were serious…….
Playing FPS with friends I made online was my latest pleasure.
“But that doesn’t mean that you can take possession of someone’s belongings from their room without their permission…….”
“Your childhood friend, a beautiful girl, begged your mother, ‘Give me a chance!’ and as a result, this game was born!”
“Huh?”
“If you can get out in time, Pico Pico will be returned safely. Now then, Yu-kun, if you want to play games, then you have to play a game with me. The choice is all yours to make!”
Beep. And the call was disconnected.
Damn, that’s how it was.
I’ll get up if I have to.
Be careful not to cut your foot on a piece of glass or something.
When I stepped over the bathtub, my sneakers were carefully aligned and placed on the floor.
Overprotective.
I sighed, put on my shoes, walked on the tile floor, and tried to put my hand on the door, but it wouldn’t open.
“Huh?”
There was no handle. There was a hole several centimeters in diameter where the handle should be. Chains extended from it, and the door was secured through a hole in the wall.
The chain was padlocked. It was said that it could be removed if the numbers were aligned to five digits.
“What the h—k is this”
It rattled, but the door did not open.
If I hit it with brute force, someday I might be able to get out. By the time the lock comes off, the game console will probably be scrapped.
“Hmm?”
There were words written on the polished glass in the door.
Beautiful handwriting.
Definitely Ginchiyo’s handwriting.
“Fill in the blank in the sentence problems, huh.”
Choose a number from the list of words that fits the blank part of the four-character word and input it.
Question 1: Getting ____ at once.
Rich
Silver
White
Green
Red
I get it.
It’s something like this.
I set the first number on the padlock to “1”.
Easy, easy. Now, question two.
Question 2: To ___ around and wait.
Meh, it’s a problem I don’t understand.
Attack
Wait
Have
Cat
Snoop
I have no idea.
In that case, let’s skip to the third question.
Question 3: waves _____ in the moonlight.
Blue
Crimson
Pure
Silver (sparkling)
bronze
I don’t know the exact answer, but the paired words are usually the right ones for these things. The opposite of gold would probably be the silver in the fourth option. TL/n
Question 4: each moment seeming like a(n) ______
First
Ten years
Hundred
Thousand (eternity)
Myriad
Okay, the correct answer is number four.
“Nn?”
Something is strange.
This is……
Kanji characters that have appeared so far, gold, silver, and a thousand…
