My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 38

Chapter 38: The School Changed

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

After that, Rin-neechan said she had something she needed to do and went home first, and just like that, we all naturally split up. It was the first time. Being in this kind of state, I found myself genuinely looking forward to tomorrow. Thinking about it like that, maybe it really was a good thing I didn’t die back then. I could finally say goodbye to this hell. Just thinking about it made my chest feel unbearably warm.

“What’s wrong, Hara? You’re unusually upbeat.”

“You can tell, Mom? Well, a lot happened.”

“It’s like everything before was a lie. I’m so happy.”

I couldn’t hide it, and even during dinner I stayed in high spirits the whole time. Even Mom, who usually didn’t say much, happily talked to me. Come to think of it, I must have made her worry a lot too. It felt like it had been a long time since I’d seen her this cheerful.

“Sorry for making you worry, Mom. I’m okay now.”

“I see. That’s good. Want to eat a lot?”

“Yeah, I’ll take plenty.”

I would probably never forget the taste of that dinner for the rest of my life. It was just… delicious. Truly delicious. I got into bed. Before I knew it, I was already asleep. I didn’t dream. The next morning. What a refreshing mor-… wait, it was raining. I wish it had been clear skies on a day like this. 

Well then, let’s get ready and head out.

Just in case, for some reason, I had made a promise to go to school together with the three of them. When I sent a message, it seemed like they were already in the living room. Huh?

“Good morning, Haa-chan. What a nice morning we have today.”

“Morning, Haa-kun! The underground site! Everyone already totally believes it! This is basically our guaranteed win! Yay!”

“Good morning, Hakkun.”

“Why are you here!?”

Wondering that, I went into the living room, and there they were. Mom was making breakfast, and the three beauties were sitting in chairs, relaxing. 

Uh… this is kind of scary.

I’d seen this kind of thing in manga and thought it looked nice, but actually experiencing it was kind of terrifying. Though, I did feel a bit happy too.

“They just got here a moment ago. So I let them in. I figured Hara would be waking up soon, so I thought, why not all have breakfast together? Here, it’s ready.”

And just like that, we all ate sandwiches together while chatting happily. Now then, after finishing up…

“I’m heading out.”

Time to go to school.

♢♢♢

I walked through the school. As expected, the stares gathered on me. But it was different from before. Unlike before, there wasn’t a single trace of malice. If anything, what I felt was sympathy and guilt. I could feel it. The way everyone saw me was changing, from perpetrator to victim. It was late, sure, but still. I could tell that the place I thought I had lost had truly returned. I almost started to cry.

“I’m glad. It looks like it’s spreading properly.”

“That’s thanks to Muna. For now, mission one is complete. Now we just wait for him to show up.”

“I’m looking forward to it, Haa-chan. I wonder what kind of reaction that piece of trash will give us.”

Misaki over the past two days had been so different it was almost scary. Her way of speaking was a bit off, and her expression had turned incredibly sinister. What happened? Could resentment really change a person this much?

“Ah, um! Kamitsuru-kun!”

While I was talking with the three of them and waiting for Tanaka, several girls from the class came over to me. I remembered them. They were one of the groups that had been badmouthing me before.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know it was all lies. Tanaka-kun had been deceiving me the whole time.”

“I can’t say I don’t mind at all, but it’s fine. I’m happy you came to apologize like this.”

“Kamitsuru-kun… hi—!?”

In that gentle atmosphere, she suddenly let out a thin, frightened voice like I’d never heard before. It was as if she had seen a ghost… no, something even worse than a ghost. The reason was simple. The overwhelming killing intent released by the three of them. It was probably just for a split second, right after I forgave them. But it was there for sure.

“Th-then, excuse me!”

She rushed out of the classroom at incredible speed. 

No, wait, this is your classroom though?

“That was an impressive turnaround.”

“But I’m happy. Hakkun’s place has come back. Though I really, really hate other girls coming near him.”

“Haru-chan is right. I’m glad Hakkun can live normally again. The only trouble is keeping the pests away.”

Misaki was smiling brightly, but it was kind of scary. I could feel intense pressure. And what Muna and Haruna were saying was also scary. F-females? Pests? Were they always the kind of girls who used words like that?

“By the way, what about Matsumae?”

“Ah, her? She won’t be coming. Ever again.”

“Huh?”

“So don’t worry about it. Let’s just focus on taking revenge on that piece of trash.”

So Matsumae had been dealt with somehow without me knowing? Probably. I was really curious, but… I’d just focus on getting revenge on Tanaka.

“Hey, good morning, every—one…”

Speak of the devil. Tanaka had just arrived. Alright, it was time for revenge.
