My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 63-64

Chapter 63: A New Companion

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

【Side: Muna Tanatsuki】

The day after karaoke finished. The three of us had invited our newly met rival, Nonoa Tsurumaki-chan, to a cafe. The reason was simple. It was because of what happened on the way home yesterday.

Quite out of the blue, she had kissed my dear dear dear dear dear boyfriend, Haa-kun. Naturally, that was unforgivable. If she was trying to steal him away, I had to eliminate her.

…Nonoa Tsurumaki. She was a girl who didn’t exist in the first loop. Most likely, she was someone that trash had seduced in the first timeline. There was too little information about her. I knew she was an important companion to Rin-nee and a precious person to Mii-chan, so I didn’t really want to do anything drastic.

“Non-chan. Do you understand what Mi-chan wants to say?”

“Yes, I understand. It’s about why I kissed Kamitsuru-kun back then, isn’t it?”

“You catch on quick. So, why did you kiss my Hakkun?”

“I knew the moment I saw him. I realized he was an impossibly cool and kind person. My body just moved on its own.”

…This girl was amazing. To think she could understand Haa-kun’s virtues with just a single glance!!

“Besides, I saw Misakis smile when she was with Kamitsuru-kun. It was an expression I’ve never seen her make before. I knew right then.”

“Let me change the question. Nonoa-chan. Is it safe to assume you like Haa-kun?”

“Yes, that’s right. I like him. I love him. I love him so much I can’t help myself. It’s already at the point where it’s a maddening love.”

I see. I smelled the same scent on her that we have. Could it be that this girl was also someone saved by Haa-kun when they were little? If so, she passed the test immediately.

“May I ask why? Non-chan.”

“He saved me back in elementary school. I’m sure he doesn’t remember. The only reason I can continue being an idol now is because of him. From that moment on, I couldn’t get him out of my head. Once I started thinking about what a wonderful person he was, I couldn’t stop.”

“Muna-chan, this is…”

“Yeah. She passes!!”

Alright, she passes! I haven’t heard the details yet, but this girl “gets it”!! In that case, she is a girl worthy of being our companion!

“Passes?”

“Since I knew Non-chan was aiming for Haa-chan, I was judging whether you were an enemy or not. Let’s get along with Mii-chan and the others.”

“…Are you all not fighting over him?”

“Well, I do want to be number one. But you see, everyone here is precious to us. So we don’t really have that kind of hostility. We definitely want to be friends, and we want to compete for him together with you. That is, if you’re okay with it.”

It’s natural to have doubts, I suppose. I mean, all of us get along incredibly well.

“We were all saved by Haa-kun too, back when we were at our wit’s end as children. That’s why we want to be friends with Nonoa-chan, who shares that common ground. Being saved by Haa-kun is the greatest pride of my life.”

“Misaki. What interesting girls. Fufu, fine. I look forward to working with you from now on. Including the student council president… Let’s compete for him as friends.”

And so, Nonoa-chan joined as our newest rival. And since this girl also had the same yandere attributes as us, we should probably add her to that place too.

“Nonoa-chan, do you know an app called Piscord?”

“I’ve heard of it. What about it?”

“Well, you see. If possible, I’d like you to join a certain server there.”

“The name?”

“There are two: ‘Haa-kun Surveillance Server’ and ‘The Kamitsuru Household’.”

In the first loop, I made a really weird blunder and got caught. 

But I’m not doing that anymore, so he still thinks we’re just middle-aged men over there. I figured we should let her in since we have the chance.

“Non-chan, the truth is, Haa-chan is also in that server. Mii-chan and the others are pretending to be random old men so he hasn’t realized, but only we know that he’s Haa-chan.”

“…Which means?”

“It means we can find out everything about Hakkun one-dimensionally! For example, what he thinks of us, or what kind of lewd desires he harbors for us… you see.”

Saying that, Haru-chan started fiddling with her phone and showed Nonoa-chan a certain exchange of messages.

『hara: My childhood friend is just so cute. She smiles at me so much and her chest is huge. She’s seriously cute but also sexy, it’s basically cheating.』

That was definitely when he was talking about me. Ah, how nostalgic. I think I got a bit too excited and went a little overboard back then.

“It’s pretty much like that.”

“I’ve installed it, Piscord. Put me in there too.”

“Oh, that was fast! Yeah, I got it.”

With that, Nonoa-chan—now known as “Nna-chan”—was added to the server. The reason for “Nna” was apparently that she censored “Nonoa” to get “Nna,” which was the romanized reading of the censored name.

Since she wanted to close the distance with him significantly, Nonoa-chan was going to publicly state that she was a first-year high school girl. 

Fufu, it looks like things are going to get even more lively from here on out.

“I’ll say it again, I look forward to this. Muna, Haruna, Misaki.”

“Yeah, likewise! Non-chan!”

Chapter 64: Apparently, I’m Fated to Be the Target of Jealousy

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

【Side: Hara Kamitsuru】

A week had passed since then, and I felt like I had started to settle into the class… I think. I had also gotten quite close with Nna. So far, everything should have been going smoothly. Well, if I had to point out one problem….

“Good morning, Haa-sama. What a lovely morning we have today..”

“Um, Tsuruma—”Nonoa.” Nonoa, why are you here?”

“Oh my. Isn’t it only natural for a wife to come pick up her husband?”

“We’re not married. And what is ‘Haa-sama,’ anyway?”

“I wanted a special nickname too. Muna calls you Haa-kun, Haruna calls you Hakkun, and Misaki calls you Haa-chan, right? So I chose Haa-sama.”

It was her, Nonoa Tsurumaki. No, seriously, how did it end up like this? Ever since that kiss, it felt like the distance between us had been shrinking day by day. And since Muna and the others weren’t saying anything… They definitely did something, didn’t they?

“Hey, Nonoa. You do realize you’re an idol, right?”

“Of course I do. But I don’t mind if it gets exposed. Anyone who would criticize me over something like that isn’t a real fan anyway. The ones who still support me despite that are my true fans.”

“What kind of logic is that… Anyway, I’m going to get ready, so wait here.”

So that was it. I had wondered why Muna and the others weren’t here today. But still, what was their goal? From their perspective, this just meant another rival had been added. For now, I couldn’t just leave her standing outside, so I let her in and quickly got ready myself, but… yeah, no, I couldn’t calm down. What was this idol-sama even after!?

“At the very least, you shouldn’t neglect your fans. They’re important people who support you.”

“…Even though the fan I want to cherish most is right in front of me.”

“Did you say something?”

“No, nothing.”

After that, there wasn’t much conversation, and we headed to school. Muna and the others reacted just like they would to a close friend, so yeah, this was definitely all planned. And then, after finishing all the orientation sessions last week, it was finally time for our first real class in high school.

“Alright, from here on, we will begin a mixed-gender endurance run!!”

It was PE. All first-years changed into gym clothes and gathered on the field. What we were told was an endurance run… or rather, a long-distance run. On a 200-meter track, the boys would run about fifteen laps, and the girls about ten. Endurance running wasn’t exactly my strong suit. I didn’t have the greatest stamina. But at the same time, with the girls here, I didn’t want to show any weakness either.

Apparently, we had to form pairs of two. I thought Muna and the others would pair up with each other, but it seemed they were paired with completely different students. As for me, I naturally ended up paired with Ito.

“First, the girls will run. Once you finish, report your time to your partner. Now then, on your marks.”

The whistle blew, and the runners took off all at once. Among them were the four girls. And in no time, passing a huge number of students and taking the lead were Haruna and Nonoa. As expected from the model student and the idol.

Behind them, Muna and Misaki were running at a steady pace. Wait… were those two competing? There was definitely some tension between them. And man, this was bad. Muna’s chest was bouncing like crazy—

The extroverted guys around me started openly commenting on it with shameless ulterior motives. Yeah… That definitely made me feel a bit murderous. 

The hell are they doing lusting after my girl?

Anyway, since the girls ran five fewer laps than the boys, it ended pretty quickly. And of course, first place went to Haruna. I heard later her time was six minutes thirty seconds. 

Wait, that’s so fast?!

“Hara-kun, did you watch me? I did my best.”

“Yeah, I watched. Good job, Haruna. Get some rest. Nonoa, that was close too.”

“Thank you, Haa-sama. You’re up next, right? I’ll be cheering for you.”

“Thanks. I’ll try not to embarrass myself.”

And so, it was time for the boys’ endurance run.

“Haa-kun!! Do your best!!”

“Haa-chan!! Good luck!!”

Muna and the others were cheering like crazy. Honestly, it was kind of embarrassing. For now, I’d just keep a steady pace and not overdo it. Up until about the tenth lap, everything was going smoothly. Around that point, it started getting a bit tough, but still manageable.

“Whoa—”

“Ah!?”

Then, during the eleventh lap, Saito… I think that was his name, who was running next to me, suddenly slammed into me. I couldn’t keep my balance and fell hard. My hand was bleeding a little. But more importantly—

Some of the boys and girls were laughing at me. Saying things like how lame I looked despite being cheered on, how pathetic it was, how embarrassing. It didn’t take long to realize it was intentional.

Ah… this again.

For a moment, a trauma from middle school flashed through my mind, making me feel slightly nauseous. But I shook it off and kept running. Still, yeah… it was pathetic. I felt a little sorry for Muna and the others.

“Haha, sorry. I almost tripped.”

“Don’t bother. If you’ve got time for that, keep running.”

“Huh?”

I managed to recover quickly and somehow finished all fifteen laps. My time was thirteen minutes. Considering the interference, that wasn’t too bad. Later, while the other pair was running, I was catching my breath by a faucet at the edge of the field when Saito came over.

“Man, you’re really pathetic. How can you show a side like that as a guy? Don’t you feel bad for Tsurumaki-san who was cheering for you?”

“…What are you trying to say?”

“I’m saying someone like you shouldn’t have anything to do with Tsurumaki-san, you gloomy ugly guy. There’s no way a plain, gloomy guy like you matches a beautiful girl like her.”

Yeah, I had a feeling it’d be something like that. Why did I always get dragged into trouble because of jealousy?

“I think someone who harasses others for such a stupid reason is way less worthy.”

“What did you say!?”

He grabbed me by the collar. No one else was around, so he went straight to violence. Honestly, I felt bad for Nonoa being liked by someone like this.

“Don’t get cocky, ugly. A good-looking guy like me matches her. I’m popular, after all. There’s a world of difference between you and me.”

“Yes, there really is a world of difference.”

At that moment, an ice-cold voice cut in. Nonoa had apparently noticed and came over. Her eyes were sharp, glaring straight at Saito. She was clearly furious. Well… maybe it was a good thing it wasn’t Muna and the others. Or maybe not. Nonoa might be just as scary.

“T-Tsurumaki-san!”

Startled, Saito let go of me, and I dropped to the ground. Honestly, I was grateful for the help.

“Know your place and don’t try to stand beside me, you filthy trash. It’s extremely unpleasant. Are you okay, Haa-sama?”

“Yeah, thanks, Nonoa. Sorry.”

“Anyway. That earlier fall, that was on purpose, wasn’t it? You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“N-No, I didn’t. He just fell on his own.”

Sigh… so he was going to play dumb.

“My, what a boring lie. I absolutely despise people who lie. Don’t ever speak to me again. You’re not worth talking to. Come on, Haa-sama. Muna and the others were worried about you.”

“Y-Yeah.”

Led by Nonoa, I headed back to Muna and the others.

Yeah… amen.

I got my hand treated lightly at the infirmary, and it was fine again. Though, now that I thought about it…

Maybe Nonoa is basically the same type as Muna and the others?
