The Carnivorous Maidens Living with Me - Chapter 2: Is That My Stalker?

Chapter 2: Is That My Stalker?

Spring is a season of meetings and partings.

Some people are excited about the new life beginning, while others feel anxious about being swept away by the waves of adulthood.

Most people, carrying both anxiety and equally grand expectations, leave the warm spring breeze behind and move forward.

Gara gara

“Yo, Shoma!”

Bashin!

“Ouch!”

The guy who came in with a loud greeting and slapped my shoulder is Haruki Saotome.

He’s a guy I got close to in our first year. Apparently, this spring, as a second-year, he’s been chosen as the ace of the soccer club.

“Hey… morning.”

“What’s up? You seem down. Still not used to the new class? It’s been a month since the new term started, y’know?”

“Nah, it’s not exactly that…”

Gaze

“Hm? Where’re you looking? …Oh, I get it! Can’t blame you for staring! She’s a real beauty, that Kisaragi.”

The person I glanced at was Sofia Kisaragi, sitting in the backmost seat. Rumor has it she’s half-Russian from her mother and half-Japanese from her father.

Her silky silver hair reaches her shoulders, her slightly upturned eyes have a devastating charm when she gives a sidelong glance, her long limbs give her a great figure, and above all, she has beautiful breasts.

“Hey, Shoma. I’m gonna say this just once… you should stay away from Kisaragi.”

“Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Well, I don’t really wanna say stuff like this, but…”

“What’s up?”

I gave Haruki a puzzled look as he hesitated.

“Nah, forget it! You hate rumors and stuff, don’t you?”

“It’s not like I hate them or anything.”

“Back when me and Ai had that fight, you got pissed and beat the crap outta me, remember? I learned my lesson then.”

Yeah, that did happen, didn’t it?

“That… well, sorry about that.”

“Don’t apologize! If that hadn’t happened, me and my girlfriend wouldn’t still be laughing together like we are now!”

“…I see.”

The Ai that Haruki’s talking about is his girlfriend, Ai Akinomiya. Back when those two were having a rough patch, I meddled a bit too much. That’s when Haruki and I got closer.

Stare—

A shiver ran down my spine. When I turned around, I saw Kisaragi glaring at me. For a moment, I thought our eyes met, but she quickly looked away.

“What the hell… it’s been like this for a whole month now.”

For the entire month since the new term started, Kisaragi has been watching me.

No, watching me would be fine.

She’s been following me.

At school!

In my private life!

And silently, too!

“…Did I do something?”

With those thoughts in my mind, that day was supposed to pass as just another ordinary day.
