The person who used to hate me, suddenly turned into a yandere!

Since the shopping complex wasn’t far from the station, it took only fifteen minutes for the group to reach there on foot.

It was only around two in the noon, so no one was rushing and took their time to stroll slowly to their destination.

The district they came to mostly stay hustly because of the number of malls and industrial buildings.

Except for Mika, the other three often visit such a busy place with a lot of crowd moving to and fro. Mika usually visits nearby grocery stores or supermarkets, even on weekends resulting in today’s various possible events.

In just half a kilometer walk, Mika was held back by Ryuuji before she would have walked on wrong signals and bumped into seven different people.

She was all around the place and was constantly apologizing to someone, and if not, then to Ryuuji.

Aya was amused to see the diligent and always serene Mika being klutz like this and also the slight scolding she received from Ryuuji.

Kazuya was also astonished to see Mika being so careless. She has been primarily known for her mature vibe and the calm air she extrudes. So seeing her like this made him equally dumbstruck as Aya.

And as for Ryuuji…

“Can’t be helped. Now hold my sleeve and don’t get lost, okay?”

Mika nodded and, with a sorry face, pinched Ryuuji’s sleeve and let him lead her.

Ryuuji is the only person who is aware of this side of hers and has always been cautious when Mika walks on streets, especially the crowded ones.

Looking at his relaxed expression, Mika assured herself that Ryuuji wasn’t annoyed because of her carelessness. Even though he sweetly rebukes her sometimes, it only shows how much he cares for her.

In this world, other than her parents, if someone has ever asked her to rely on them and always forgives her misgivings, she doesn’t have to look far away to point out that person.

“Why are you looking at me?”

While walking inside the shopping mall, Ryuuji noticed that Mika was constantly staring at him with a warm look in her gaze.

“I want to thank you for being here, Ryuu-kun. And sorry, but I will be relying on you in the future, too, just like today.”

Ryuuji was slightly startled upon being thanked all of a sudden, attached to the unexpected request. But soon, he collected himself and spoke in a tone that she was only able to hear.

“Apologizing for something like that… Did I ever complain of you depending on me?”

Mika blinked on Ryuuji’s statement, which made her heart fluffy. Her crimson eyes sparkled with satisfaction for getting it affirmed from Ryuuji, that she could lean on him.

“Oi. Don’t close your eyes while walking.”

The first place, the group of four visited was the cafèteria, situated on the top floor.

Since it was half day at school, no one brought lunch which made Aya grumble in hunger as she pulled everyone to the eatery.

The place was big enough to accommodate at least a hundred people. Seats were arranged neatly, with round tables in the center and long ones, by the wall.

The place was decently crowded, but even so, Ryuuji and the others found a table for four near the entrance.

“Okay, what would you guys eat? I will go get the orders.”

Kazuya volunteered to get the orders since it was a self-serving restaurant. Ryuuji wanted to tag along, but Kazuya denied it for some reason.

Ryuuji was confused, but nevertheless, he told Kazuya what he wanted to eat.

“Burger.”

“Me too, Burger.”

“I will take egg wrap and lots of fries~.”

All three of them ordered, with Mika just being a little hurried since she was still getting the hang of this new atmosphere.

Kazuya remembered everyone’s order before he nodded and went away after glancing in a particular direction.

‘Hmmm? ‘

Ryuuji felt a little weird upon seeing Kazuya behaving in such an odd manner, but soon he realized why his friend asked Ryuuji to stay back.

“Hey, beautiful. Can I get your number~.”
