The S-Class Beautiful Sisters at My New School Somehow Got Super Attached to Me and Ended Up Becoming Yandere Without Me Even Realizing It - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

“…Huh?”

I thought I must’ve misheard.

But Kirishima Ayaha kept staring at me with these dreamy eyes and said it again.

“I like you. I really like you, Tendou-kun.”

“W-What? Why?”

“Why? You saved me that time, didn’t you?”

“J-Just because of that?”

“Ehー, that’s actually a huge deal, y’know? Back then you were totally like a prince riding in on a white horse.”

She leaned forward toward me and this time slid her foot closer to mine.

“P-Prince? That’s way too much, that’s exaggerating.”

“Nuh-uh, not at all. And I like that humble side of you too. So… won’t you make me your girlfriend?”

“G-Girlfriend? Uh, wait, this is a joke, right…?”

“You don’t want to?”

“…”

Ayaha looking up at me with those puppy eyes was insanely cute.

I used to think her looks were kinda flashy and over-the-top, but under the dim lighting right now it didn’t bother me at all.

My heart was pounding so loud it felt like it was gonna explode out of my chest.

If I nodded right here, Kirishima Ayaha might actually become my girlfriend… for real.

Then we’d hold hands, and maybe even kiss… N-No, what the hell am I thinking?

Mizuki-san straight-up told me if I got any “unnecessary experience” she’d cut me off.

Right—this isn’t playtime. This date’s just for the club activity plan.

I gotta get lots of different experiences, write them down, have the club officially recognize it so we don’t lose the clubroom.

At first I was only helping those two out, but honestly I’ve really come to like that place too.

The three of us reading together, chatting, showing each other stuff we wrote…

If my actions screw up, that everyday routine might disappear.

…That’d suck. I really don’t want that.

Come to think of it, what’re those two doing right now?

Plus tomorrow I’ve got a date with Mizuki-san, and the day after tomorrow I promised Yuzuki-san.

I’m actually kinda excited to see where they’re gonna take me.

So yeah… I…

“Um, Ayaha-san, I—”

“Just kidding〜”

“…Huh?”

“Ahaha! Did I scare you? Jeez, don’t take it so seriously〜. Hehe, you were seriously stressing out, I got surprised!”

Watching her cover her mouth and giggle made my stiff body finally go all floppy and weak.

“H-Hey, don’t joke like that…”

“But come on, date = confession, right? So I was curious what kind of reaction you’d give〜”

“…I seriously thought about it. Sorry.”

“Ehー, really? That’s… kinda nice to hear, actually. Butー you were thinking about Mizuki and them just now, weren’t you?”

“Huh? Well… yeah. Tomorrow’s thing and all.”

“Yup, figured. Mizuki gets scary when she’s mad, huh. And also… nah, never mind. Papa〜, is the pasta almost ready〜?”

“Coming right up.”

“See? Let’s eat and head out. It’s crazy good, you’re gonna flip.”

The cream pasta they brought out right after was seriously one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, no exaggeration.

While I was eating I kept sneaking glances at Ayaha-san, but she was acting totally normal.

So that confession really was just to mess with me.

I felt a tiny bit lonely about it… but mostly relieved.

When we finished, she handed me her phone, then slowly opened the shop door for me.

“So today’s date ends here. Come back anytime, okay?”

“Thanks so much for the food. And, uh, thank you too, Ayaha-san’s dad.”

“No no, come hang out whenever.”

As we were leaving, Ayaha-san added, “Keep what I said earlier a secret from those two, okay? Especially Mizuki—she’d get mad and I don’t want that.”

“Got it. Yeah, Mizuki-san definitely isn’t the type who’d laugh that off.”

“You got totally fooled though〜”

“T-That’s because—”

“Ahaha, kidding kidding. See you at school tomorrow then.”

She kept waving at me until I turned the corner, so I kept turning back and waving too.

Once she was out of sight I finally…

“…Haaah, that was intense.”

I let my shoulders drop.

Dating is exhausting, man.

But Ayaha-san’s got that playful side, but she’s actually a really nice person.

And the pasta was amazing.

“Oh, Mizuki-san texted. Gotta reply quick.”

I hurriedly messaged Mizuki-san back while heading down my usual way home.

“Ayaha, was that really okay? Papa thinks if you pushed a little that boy would’ve folded right there.”

Right after Tendou-kun left, Papa asked me kinda worried.

“Nah, that was perfect. If I pushed maybe I could’ve gotten a yes on the spot… but then he’d probably regret it forever afterward. Looks like Mizuki and Yuzuki mean that much to him.”

“That Mizuki girl came here a couple times, right? She’s definitely pretty, but I think you’re just as good, Ayaha.”

“It’s not just about looks with those two. Well… neither of them seems to realize how charming they are, though.”

“Hm. High school girls and romance sure are complicated.”

“Yeah. But still, he did get a little conscious of me, so that’s a win. Next time… I’m gonna make him confess to me.”

“Mm. My daughter’s a brave one.”

“Right? I’m super brave.”

…Also, I got way more scared than I expected.

If he rejected me I don’t think I could bounce back, so I was too afraid to hear the answer.

Gotta work harder so I can be more confident.

Way more than Mizuki… to the point where he can only think about me.

Staring at the chair Tendou-kun was sitting in just a little while ago, I whispered again toward the afterimage of him still burned into my eyes.

“Tendou-kun… I really like you.”
