My Childhood Friend Who Takes Care of Me Seems to Be a Yandere... No, That Must Be a Misunderstanding - Chapter 3: My Childhood Friend Is Shy

Chapter 3: My Childhood Friend Is Shy

After I concluded to myself that “Mii-chan isn’t a yandere!”, I attended class as usual, and lunchtime came.

“Mii-chaaan!”

I went to Mii-chan’s class—Class Four—from my own class, Class One, to eat lunch with her.

“Ah, Hina! Over here!”

As soon as I entered the classroom, Mii-chan quickly spotted me and called out, waving lightly. I headed over to her and sat in the chair across from her.

“Here, this is today’s lunch for you, Hina.”

Saying that, Mii-chan handed me a bento. She always makes my lunch, not just for breakfast but also for midday. If she didn’t do that, I’d probably just grab something random from the school store. I really can’t thank her enough.

Thinking that, I opened the lunchbox I’d received from Mii-chan.

Inside were all of my favorite foods. On top of that, none of the stuff I disliked was in it, and she had even considered the nutritional balance. Is she a god? She probably is a god.

“Thanks, Mii-chan! You seriously save me all the time~”

“Don’t worry about it. I’m doing it because I want to.”

With that, Mii-chan gave a sweet smile. As I thought, Mii-chan isn’t a yandere or anything—she’s just my adorable and dependable best childhood friend!

While I was thinking that and eating the lunch she made, I noticed Mii-chan was staring at me, frozen.

*(“I want to make her unable to live without me. That way, she won’t ever leave me, right? But if I do that, will Hina end up hating me? I don’t want that… But I also don’t want her to go away… This is so hard…”) *

“Hm? What’s wrong, Mii-chan?”

I asked her what was going on, since she was staring at me like that.

“Eh! N-No! It’s nothing! I was just thinking how cute you are, Hina!”

“Really? Ehehe~ Thanks, Mii-chan! But I think you’re the cute one!”

“Fweh!?”

When I replied to her words like that, Mii-chan’s face turned a little red.

Huh? Is she blushing? Thinking that Mii-chan might be embarrassed, I grinned slightly and leaned my face closer to hers.

“Mii-chan, your face is red~. Are you embarrassed, by any chance?”

“N-No no! That’s not true at all!”

Saying that, Mii-chan looked away again. Seeing that reaction, I became even more certain she was blushing, and my grin deepened.

“Really~? Then show me your face, Mii-chan~”

“No way!”

Saying that, Mii-chan turned her face even farther away.

“Ehh~? Why, whyyy~?”

“No reason!”

Still looking away with a pout, Mii-chan stubbornly refused to look at me. Hmm, she’s pretty tough. But at times like this, being a little forceful works best!

“Well then… ei!”

I quickly leaned in and peered into Mii-chan’s face. Our eyes met perfectly. Sure enough, her cheeks were softly flushed, and even her ears were red. So cute~!

While I was thinking that and staring at her face, suddenly both of my hands were grabbed tightly by Mii-chan’s arms.
