Somehow I Ended up Dating the Perfect Female Classmate, but My Sister Found Out and They're Turning Into Yanderes - Chapter 24-25

Chapter 24: The Cat-Like Girl

“Hey.”

“…”

She’s probably not talking to me, right?

We’ve been locking eyes for a while, and she’s been getting closer like some kind of ghost, but it’s just a coincidence, yeah?

Ignoring her is the smartest move here.

“I’m talking to you.”

See, she’s calling you out.

Hurry up and respond already.

“Nuregami-kun, are you listening?”

Listen up…

Wait, did she just say my last name?

“…?”

I look up and see the face of the girl talking to me.

“No, your head-tilting thing isn’t cute at all.”

What a sharp-tongued girl!

And she said that while totally looking at my face.

So, she’s definitely talking to me…?

“Wh-who might you be?”

“Kikujima Yoshirin. I’m your classmate.”

Kikujima Yoshirin.

She’s definitely Kirino-san’s closest friend in class.

Kirino-san is always surrounded by tons of students, but this Kikujima girl is especially close to her.

She’s got a different kind of polished look compared to Kirino-san—shorter, with a baby face.

So, before Kirino-san and I started dating, some guys thought they were the perfect yuri couple, turning them into fantasy material for dudes wishing to be reborn in 3D.

“K-Kikujima-san, wh-why are you here today?”

“Don’t stutter like that. It’s creepy.”

…Kikujima-san’s character is crumbling, I think.

Since she’s known as Kirino-san’s best friend, I only had a good impression of her personality.

But it just became clear that she’s been wearing a cat-like mask all along.

A cat-like girl like that? I don’t hate it.

“What are you thinking about so hard? Probably something creepy and pointless, right?”

C-creepy…//

Does this girl know that’s like a reward for me?

“Anyway, that’s not important. Hey, you’re here with Kirino, right?”

“Yeah, I am…”

I wondered how she knew, but if she’s been watching me this whole time, of course she’d notice Kirino’s here.

“Are you two on a date?”

“W-Well, something like that…”

So, this girl was disguised and spying on us the whole time?

“Tell me your plans for the rest of the date.”

“Huh?”

“Just tell me.”

Why do I have to tell this stalker girl anything?

And why did she go so far as to disguise herself and follow us?

If it was just me, I’d be thrilled, but Kirino-san would totally be creeped out.

I have a lot I want to say, but there’s no way I can say it to a girl.

“We were supposed to eat lunch here, then study for tests together at the library.”

“And after that?”

“Uh, maybe eat dinner together?”

“And then?”

“That’s it, just head home…”

“Don’t lie. There’s something else you’re doing between dinner and going home, right?”

“Uh… nothing?”

Something before going home…?

I can’t think of anything.

“Don’t play dumb. You’re planning to sneak off to a hotel after dinner, aren’t you?”

“What!?”

Sneak off to a hotel!?

That was an unexpected answer…

No way Kikujima-san is one step ahead of me.

“No, I have no plans like that!”

“Really…?”

She stares at me with “adult eyes” that don’t match her baby face.

“You’re not stopping by a pharmacy or something afterward, are you?”

“No way!”

Stuff like that takes guts to buy at a register, so you get it online.

“Then I’ll be watching every pharmacy around here to make sure your words are true.”

This girl has way too much free time…

“If you show up at a pharmacy or sneak off to a hotel without ‘anything,’ I’ll rip that ‘stick’ of yours off.”

Kikujima-san, if you’re gonna threaten like that, at least grab it while you do.

But why is she so scared of me and Kirino-san doing something like that?

From her behavior, is she some kind of yuri yandere?

This is straight out of a yandere situation script.

“Listen, I’m serious. If you think that ‘stick’ of yours is gonna help with the aging population crisis, eat dinner and go straight home.”

With that parting shot, Kikujima-san left.

“Kiyoto-kun, sorry to keep you waiting. Weekends are so crowded.”

Kirino-san came back at the perfect time.

Kikujima-san went through all the trouble of tailing us, so why not just talk to Kirino-san?

Is she one of those types who watches the person they like from afar to comfort themselves?

Not much demand for that in guys, but for girls, it’s a different story.

…Looks like I’ll need to update my fantasy material rankings later.

Chapter 25: Studying With Her

“Kirino-san, is this modern translation correct?”

“Let me see. Um, this is about auxiliary verbs.”

As planned, after finishing lunch, I’m studying with Kirino-san in the library.

They say people good at studying aren’t good at teaching, but that idea falls apart in front of a perfect girl like Kirino-san.

Honestly, it’s clearer than being taught by school or cram school teachers.

Do I even need to go to cram school…?

“Shall we take a break?”

Kirino-san knows the right timing for breaks.

For me, my focus usually drops after about forty minutes, so Kirino-san times her breaks to match that.

“By the way, Kiyoto-kun, have you decided on your dream university?”

Dream university, huh…

I’ve narrowed down a few universities I could get into.

But aiming for the same university as Kirino-san is too much of a fantasy.

Besides, Kirino-san will probably get in through a recommendation.

“I haven’t decided much yet… For now, I’ll look for a local university that matches my academic level.”

“Local means you’ll keep living at home?”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

No matter how you look at it, staying at home is the easiest.

I’m not exactly on bad terms with my sisters.

Plus, Rinka takes care of most of my daily needs.

Who’d willingly give up such a cushy lifestyle!

“But don’t you ever dream of living alone?”

“Sure, it’s a dream, I guess…”

That’s a lie. I don’t dream of it at all.

Living alone would force me into a poor lifestyle.

The money you make from part-time jobs is limited. Honestly, I don’t want to work.

Why do most university students work part-time?

What’s the point of being a corporate slave from university?

“Is Kirino-san going to live alone?”

“Yeah, it’s a dream, and I can’t keep relying on my parents forever.”

…That’s the difference between us.

“I think you should try living alone too, Kiyoto-kun.”

Why is Kirino-san pushing me to live alone?

Is she suggesting we live together?

No, but I doubt Kirino-san would go to a local university.

“Have you decided where you’re going to university…?”

“Hmm. Honestly, I have too many options, and it’s tough.”

There it is.

It’s like rich, high-achieving kids picking a high school by its uniform.

I might be biased, but I don’t think Kirino-san is the type to care about prestige.

She’s the type to pursue the field she wants to study deeply.

So, I can’t pinpoint where her university might be.

“If you change your mind about wanting to live alone, just let me know.”

“Huh? Oh, sure.”

We’re probably going to be in a long-distance relationship, so why does she need to check if I’ll live alone?

“Ah! I didn’t notice from studying so much, but it’s already seven!”

“What, it’s that late!?”

I check my phone, and it really says 19:00.

Looking at it now, I studied hard today.

“We should eat dinner soon.”

We leave the library together.

Now here’s the problem.

There are too many restaurants around Joto Station.

It could take over an hour just to pick one.

“Hmm, I could decide, but…”

Yes, please decide, Kirino-san!

“Alright, I decided. Let’s go to the place Kiyoto-kun picks!”

I knew Kirino-san would say that.

So, I end up having to pick one and wander around.

If it was just what I wanted to eat, I’d decide quickly, but I don’t know if it’ll suit Kirino-san’s taste.

“Hey, Kiyoto-kun. Are you holding back because of me? If you are, you don’t need to. I want you to pick the place you always eat at.”

Alright.

If she says that, I have no choice.

I open the map on my phone to check if my target place is there.

Of course, it is, so I confirm the location.

Then, I head to an Indian curry restaurant that’s now at pretty much every station.
