My Online Friends Turned Out To Be the Ultra-Beautiful Girls in My Class and They Were Yandere - 65-66

Chapter 65: Describe How I Felt When There Was a Lunchbox in My Shoe Locker

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The next day. Starting today, afternoon classes would begin, which meant it was finally time for the long-awaited lunch break. I had been looking forward to this the whole time. I was really picky with food, after all. School lunches had been nothing but hell for me.

“Haa-chan, want to have lunch together? With everyone?”

“Yeah, that was my plan from the start.”

“Haa-kun…!”

As usual, I went to school with Muna, Haruna, and Misaki. I had gotten used to the stares from people around us and didn’t really mind them anymore. By the way, apparently which one of my arms Muna clung to was on a fixed rotation. Now that I thought about it, Nonoa wasn’t here today. Did she just come to school on her own? Well, I guess that was the normal thing to do.

“Whoa!?”

While chatting, we arrived at school in no time. I opened my shoe locker to take out my indoor shoes, and inside I found my usual sandals… and a lunchbox carefully wrapped in a purple cloth.

Wait, what? Huh?? No way. A lunchbox in my shoe locker!? Isn’t it usually chocolates in situations like this!? Or even if it were for Valentine’s, isn’t this way too early? What the hell?

“Haa-kun, what’s wrong? Oh, it’s a lunchbox.”

“I wonder who made it.”

“For now, maybe you should try eating it?”

“Y-Yeah, I guess. It’s kind of scary, but I’ll give it a try.”

Holding the lunchbox, I headed to the classroom, feeling uneasy. We always arrived early, so the classroom was usually empty… but today, Nonoa was there, sitting in the sunlight and reading a book.

She’s… beautiful.

She really looked like a goddess. As I was thinking that, Muna suddenly chopped me from the side.

“Ouch!”

“Haa-kun, that’s not okay. You shouldn’t be thinking about another girl when I’m right here.”

“Could you not casually read my mind like that?”

“Good morning, Non-chan.”

While we were having that exchange, Misaki had already gone over to talk to Nonoa. Nonoa closed her book, gave a light greeting to Misaki, and then came over to us.

“Good morning, Haa-sama, Muna.”

“Good morning, Non-chan!”

“Morning, Nonoa.”

“Haa-sama, did you receive my love-filled lunch?”

“So that was yours, Nonoa?”

She dropped that bombshell so casually. So that lunchbox was from Nonoa. 

A “love-filled lunch”? What does that even mean? There’s nothing weird in it, right? I’m not going to die, am I?

“It’s fine, Haa-sama. Though… no, never mind. Fufu, fufufufufu♡”

“O-Okay… huh? Hey, Nonoa, is your arm injured?”

Feeling slightly put off by her blissful smile, I glanced down and noticed several bandages on her arm. Could it be from my… 

No, that’s probably overthinking it.

“I just nicked myself a bit while making my lunch. It happens sometimes when you cook.”

“I’m worried. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“You did it, Non-chan.”

“Yes. Thank you, Muna.”

Was this Muna’s scheme too? I really didn’t get it, even though she was my girlfriend. Still, this was kind of troublesome. When girls got into their own conversations, there was no room for me to join. It was nice to watch, sure, but…

I feel a little jealous.

“Fufu, Haa-kun, you’re so cute. I love you! You’re just too adorable!”

“Hey, wai—!? Don’t just hug me out of nowhere, that’s dangerous! I love you too, though!”

Maybe my thoughts showed on my face, since Muna suddenly hugged me tightly with a huge smile. When it happened out of nowhere, it really made my heart race. Good thing it was just Misaki and the others here. There was no way I wanted other guys to see something like this.

“Hey, Non-chan, what do you think about that?”

“They look very good together, but it’s a bit irritating.”

“Mii feels the same. More importantly, Non-chan…Did you really mix your blood in the food?”

“Yes, just a little. It hurt a bit, but it also felt good. Fufu… I think I awakened a new side of me. The pain for his sake feels this good♡”

Nonoa and the others were whispering something, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. And yet… Why was it that I couldn’t stop shivering?

“Haa-kun, let’s have a home date next time.”

“Huh? O-Oh, sure.”

“Yay! I’m going to go all out for it, so look forward to it!”

“Of course I’m looking forward to a date with you. Even just taking a walk would be more than enough for me.”

“Gosh, Haa-kun♡”

Chapter 66: Haruna’s Refusal

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Lunch break. In the now quite lively classroom, the four of us had pushed our desks together and were eating. Well, I hadn’t prepared any lunch at all and had planned to just chat the whole time, but…

Today, I had what she herself called a “loving wife’s bento,” so I gratefully ate it. And the contents were, unbelievably, packed to the brim with octopus-shaped sausages. Wait, how did Nonoa know I liked octopus sausages?

“Ah, that was me! I told her! Non-chan said she wanted to make something for Haa-kun.”

“Don’t just casually read my mind! And… Did I ever tell you I liked octopus sausages, Muna?”

“Eh, yeah. You did, you know? Don’t you remember? That kinda hurts.”

Hmm, I see. It was possible I just forgot. Anyway, this was seriously, no, insanely delicious.

“This is ridiculously good! It’s sweet, but there’s just a tiny bit of saltiness too, it’s perfect! Nonoa, you’re really good at cooking!”

“My, Haa-sama, you liked it that much? Fufu, I’m glad the secret ingredient worked so well♡”

“Hey, I was the one who taught her that secret ingredient!”

“Yes, I’m very grateful to you as well, Muna.”

…Come to think of it.

“Where’s Haruna? She should already be here by now.”

“That’s true. Just yesterday she was saying, ‘Tomorrow is finally lunch with Hakkun! I wanna try feeding him, like ahh,’ all excited.”

“Speaking of which, just before class started, Haruna was called out by someone… I wonder if it’s related?”

Haruna was nowhere to be seen. Normally, she’d already be right next to me before I even noticed. If she went to the restroom, it had been way too long. It had already been ten minutes since lunch break started. And the fact that there hadn’t even been a message made me even more worried. Did she get caught up in some trouble? No… that was entirely possible.

“Ah, Haru-chan!”

Just as we finished eating, Haruna came back with an expression I couldn’t quite describe… like it held both hatred and despair.

“Welcome back, Haruna. Where did you go—”

“…I’m sorry.”

I gently moved closer to her. But leaving just those words, Haruna passed by me, went to her seat alone, and started reading. There was no doubt about it, she had been crying. Her voice when she apologized to me had been trembling like crazy. Even now… did she realize? Tears were spilling down her face.  My heart grew cold.

“Something happened.”

“Yeah.”

“I have a bad feeling about this. For now, let’s inform the student council president too.”

“…”

Why… Why? I thought I had already gotten over that trauma. I should know by now. It wasn’t on purpose. It wasn’t because I was hated. After all, Muna and the others were still by my side. Muna had even become my girlfriend. And yet, even so, why—

Why wouldn’t my heart stop freezing? I knew it clearly. This was fear. I was scared again… 

No, no no no no!! You can tell just by looking, who is suffering the most right now? It’s Haruna!! Then why… Why am I the one in pain!?

“…kun… Haa-kun! Haa-kun!?”

Crap. My consciousness was fading. I messed up again. I caused trouble again. Ah… I see. I depended on all of them more than I thought. I had to do something about Haruna. For now… I should rest. Just rest.

♢♢♢♢

Today… Hakkun apparently collapsed, his face pale. I knew the reason. It was my fault. My fault. My fault. My fault.

Ah… ahh. What a piece of trash I am. Why couldn’t I run to the side of the person I loved, even at a time like this? Something so trivial and I ended up digging up his trauma again. I’m the worst. I have no worth living. I wonder if Muna-chan and the others are mad. Yeah… they definitely are. Of course they are. I did something terrible.

We made a promise last year.

『I’ll never abandon him again.』

『No matter what happens, I’ll never leave his side.』

…Right?

Haha, hahahaha. This is laughable. What am I supposed to do? I guess I could never become a hero after all. I can only be a villain. Someone who meets a miserable end and makes everyone watching happy. That’s the kind of hopeless trash I am. The kind of trash who let the hero who tried to save me die twice. I’ve lost the right to be involved with everyone anymore. Ah… is this the end? 

Even though I wanted to be a little happier in my second life. I wanted to date Hakkun. I wanted to have girls’ nights with everyone. I wanted to try drinking alcohol too.

I’m glad I’m home. The tears… they won’t stop. My sobs, my tears, my runny nose. The emotions overflowing won’t stop.

Die, I love you. Die, I love you. Love me. I love you. Just die. There’s no value in living. Die, die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die.

Click, click.

The sound echoed. And with it, I gently traced my arm.

Hero play is over. Haruna Misono is finished. Even if I just die like this…

“Ah, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

An ugly, filthy scream echoed through the empty room. No. No, that was not allowed. My mind, my memories up to now, wouldn’t allow it.

Why? Why!? Don’t mess with me! Then… then what am I supposed to do!?

“…Maybe I won’t go to school anymore.”

I’m fine being alone. Ah… I really do love you all. Goodbye.
