The Boy Who Gave Up on Romantic Feelings ~I’m Done Because I Was Betrayed by The Girlfriends I Used to Date~ - Chapter 56
Chapter 56
“Why the hell are you here?”
“Why? Is it not okay?”
“Of course it’s not okay! You’re not a student here, are you?”
“Well, that’s true, but since Shintani-kun is here, it’s fine, right?”
…as expected. I can’t understand a single word this person is saying. What she’s saying don’t even make any sense, does she not realize that…?
Ugh, this is the worst…
“Shintani-kun, are you happy to see me?”
“In your dreams. Just leave.”
“Aww, you’re so shy. You’re not being honest.”
“……”
I need to go to the bathroom right now. I feel like throwing up. Seriously, the nausea is getting unbearable.
“Then, shall we go home together?”
“……”
I take out my phone and show her the screen with ‘110’ dialed.
(TN: 110 is Japanese emergency contact for police)
“I’ll report you to the police.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re really annoying, because you’re stalking me, and also, because you’re trespassing.”
“Don’t say things like I’m bothering you…I know you don’t really think that way.”
“I basically only say what I really think. That’s just how I really feel. Go home, and don’t ever come back. I’m not your boyfriend, and I have a wonderful girlfriend named Sayaka, who is incomparable to you. The difference between you and her is like heaven and hell.”
“That’s, that’s a lie…there is no way I would believe that. Stop joking around. You’ve always loved me, right!?”
“You tried to kill me, and now you’re saying something like that again!? Don’t mess with me!!”
My head is spinning with both fear and anger. I want to get away from this person right now. I want to go to Sayaka immediately. Those are the two emotions driving me at the moment.
“…so, that’s how it is after all.”
“…hah?”
“That woman…Sayaka, or whatever her name is…it’s all because of her, isn’t it… she’s brainwashing my Shintani-kun…that must be it…it doesn’t make sense otherwise…Shintani-kun loves me, so…”
I get goosebumps all over my body the moment she said so. She’s still saying such things. On top of that, brainwashing? What she is talking about? She must be insane after all. Wait a minute, come to think of it, didn’t Yamashiro’s mother told me that she’s going to send her to a psychiatric hospital? Does that mean…she failed!?
“…hmm?”
Suddenly, my phone rings.
Yamashiro is muttering to herself, looking down.
I check the message…
It’s from Yamashiro’s mother.
‘I’m sorry. She cut the police with a knife and escaped. The police are heading your way now. Please wait just one more minute. I’m truly sorry.’
…one more minute. How can I distract her for one minute.
It’s all happening too fast, but I have no choice but to try—
“Aaaahhhhh!!! Noooooooo!!!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!”
“Ughhhhhh!!!”
With gleaming eyes and a knife in hand, Yamashiro charges at me.
You would think someone would react to such a loud commotion, but unfortunately, this is a place where not many people come. Even if someone were to come, it would likely be after the club activities, and it’s still quite some time from now. In other words, there is no hope for help.
“Damn it!”
I dodge Yamashiro’s charge and turn to face her.
“Hey, hey, why did you dodge? Why not me, why her? Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you listen to me? Why don’t you do as I say? Why don’t you do as I want you to? Why aren’t you giving me what I want? Why did you reject me when I confessed to you? Why did someone like you reject my confession? Why didn’t you take my hand? Hey, hey, hey, hey, why are you happy with another woman instead of me? Am I not enough? Why are you the one making choices? Why did you choose her instead of me? Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around? Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, answer me, answer me? Aren’t you supposed to be the puppet moving according to my will? Why do you keep disobeying my orders? Tell me quickly, tell me, this is an order, hurry up, hurry up, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!”
Yamashiro’s terrifying words makes my head and ears ache. However, I now understand, it’s not affection that she has towards me, but rather a desire for dominance over my existence. She simply just wants to control and order me around.
Perhaps, because she was really popular in middle school, received a lot of attentions, she misunderstood herself. Her heart has become cloudy and rotten, leaving only her desire to control other people and delusion of superiority.
Someone who understands human emotions better than I do, like Kotaro, will be able to analyse this more accurately. But it doesn’t matter now. All that matters is my hatred towards her.
She tried to kill me, hurt my friends emotionally, and destroyed our friendship, all just to fulfil her selfish desires. But more than that…
“You…insulted Sayaka.”
“Sayaka…ah, that’s her name, wasn’t it? The one who took you away from me. What’s wrong with calling such a woman a piece of crap?”
“…I don’t care if you insult me, I couldn’t care less. However, you see, I won’t forgive anyone who insults Sayaka. She has been working really hard for someone like me. I know that I’m nothing but a piece of trash, but still, Sayaka genuinely cares and loves me. She is my proud girlfriend. And you, you just insulted her. I’m going to make you take back what you just said. I don’t care if you’re a girl, anyone who insults my Sayaka will get no mercy from me.”
I no longer feel any trauma or anything of the sort.
It doesn’t matter if she has a knife or not.
Right here and now…
—I will kill her
