My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 36

Chapter 36: Just Like I Figured, Everyone Became Seriously Heavy

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Come on, let’s go to Muna-chan’s house!”

“…Yeah.”

“What’s wrong, Hakkun? Could it be that you’re embarrassed about Rin’s kiss?”

“How could I not be embarrassed!!”

This was bad. The feeling of that kiss still hadn’t left my lips. And yet this little devil…! How was I supposed to go to Muna’s house feeling like this!?

“You’re cute, Hakkun.”

“You little devil.”

“Alright, come on! Let’s go to Muna-chan’s house!”

“H-hey, Rin-neechan!”

Without caring how I felt, Rin-neechan grabbed my hand and ran toward Muna’s house. Was this really the same person who had been crying her eyes out and repeating “I’m sorry” over and over just a little while ago? It was the same person, right? Even I couldn’t believe it.

At some point, we ended up walking while holding hands, and somehow we arrived at Muna’s house, but… what was this? I could feel an ominous aura coming from the entire house. Was I going to be okay? I wasn’t going to get killed the moment I stepped inside, right!?

“Muna, it’s me. Hakkun’s here too.”

“Ah, Rin-chan! Come on in!”

“…E-excuse me.”

This was nerve-wracking. It wasn’t like I was nervous because I’d never been to a girl’s house before. It was just… heavy. The atmosphere was way too ominous.

“Ah, you’re here. Rin-chan and… Haa-kun.”

I opened the door to Muna’s room. It was a cute room wrapped in simple white walls and pink curtains, without any particularly standout features. A pleasant lavender scent filled the air. As soon as the door opened, the three people inside looked over at me. At that moment, I had already realized what was about to happen next. Why? Because all three of them had the same eyes as Rin-neechan earlier.

Sitting on the bed was beauty number one, Muna Tanatsuki, with her soft, fluffy long black hair and what should have been ruby-red eyes. Sitting neatly in front of her was beauty number two, Haruna Misono, with her shining silver short bob and sharp, clear light-blue eyes like a cloudless sky, the kind that could rival a model.

Rolling around on the fluffy carpet was beauty number three, Misaki Hanado, with her peach-colored, slightly long bob hair reaching her shoulders and gentle eyes that should have been jade-green. Why did I keep saying “should have been” about their eyes? Well… because the eyes of the three looking at me were gradually turning pitch black.

“Hakkun, um, well, that is… I couldn’t do anything. I’m sorry, I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything. I’m sorry I ended up getting you killed. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay by your side even though you were suffering all this time. I’m sorry someone like me fell in love with you. I’m sorry for avoiding you.”

“Please kill me, Haa-chan. Kill Mii, Haa-chan. Hurry, hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry. Please kill me. Please kill this piece of trash. I betrayed you. I betrayed you, who trusted me more than anything, and acted like I was avoiding you. Come on, kill me. That’s enough reason, right?”

“Wait, wait, wait, wait!! What happened to all of you!? And Muna, don’t just kill me off on your own! And Misaki, what on earth happened to you!?”

What is this!? What happened!? Why is everyone so ridiculously heavy!?

Well, um… with Haruna, it might be rude to say, but I kind of got it. I’d known for a while that she depended on me, and she was a really sensitive girl. But Muna and Misaki, seriously, what happened? Somehow I’d been killed off without my say, and Misaki was saying something completely insane! Wait, was Misaki always this lacking in self-worth!? I thought I’d helped raise her confidence once before, though.

“Rin-neechan! Help me!”

“Calm down, everyone. Hakkun is troubled.”

For now, I held back the urge to retort that I wanted her to say that same line to herself from earlier. At Rin-neechan’s voice, everyone snapped back to their senses. Light returned to their eyes. Amazing, as expected, Rin-neechan was the one to rely on.

“Uh, well… I’m not good at telling convenient lies, so I’ll be honest. I was definitely really hurt, and I felt despair too. But thanks to Rin, I understood that you were all trying to help me. So thank you, all three of you. Please don’t beat yourselves up so much. I’m fine now.”

“Haa-chan, is that really true?”

“Yeah, it’s true. Don’t underestimate how easy I am. And also how much you guys have saved me.”

Even I thought I had given a pretty good answer. At this point, if none of them broke down crying or spiraled, it would be a perfect score. Man, what a relief. I felt stupid for thinking they hated me. Seriously, dependency was a scary thing.

“Hakkun, leave it to me. It’s okay now. You might be thinking it’s too late, right? Yeah, I get it. You can hit me if you want. Kick me, punch me, beat me up. We’ll definitely fix this somehow.”

“I won’t, I won’t!! I don’t think that at all! But… thanks. I’ll count on you.”

“It’s just like Haru-chan said. We were weak. That’s why we could only justify ourselves with excuses, even though we were awful. But we won’t run away anymore. For the sake of the one we love. Please believe in us.”

“Muna…”

I didn’t know why, but tears started to fall. Those were the words I had always wanted. It didn’t matter if it was late or early. I had always wanted to hear those words from Muna and the others, who meant so much to me.

“H-Hakkun!?”

“Sorry, don’t worry about it. I’m just… happy. I’ve always wanted to hear something like that.”

“If you’re okay with it, you can use my chest, Haa-kun. Actually, let me. You can cry as much as you want.”

At those words, the lid I had been holding down completely shattered. After that, I just cried into Muna’s chest. I let out all my weaknesses. Muna and the others gently accepted it all. Even if I thought something like, “what kind of people are you to say this now after leaving me alone for half a month,” there was no way I could say it out loud.

Because even so, I was just overwhelmingly happy that they were here with me now.
