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 62

Chapter 62

♡

Unconquerable Split.

That’s the crappy nickname me and Mizuki got stuck with.

People also call a split where the pins are split to both ends a “snake eyes” sometimes.

Just like the name says, we’ve been labeled as snake-like sisters with a nickname that’s definitely not meant in a nice way.

Taking down just one side is already tough enough, but getting both at the same time? That’s pretty much impossible. That’s what a split is.

And that’s us sisters.

Seriously, whoever came up with that name nailed it way too well.

But like… what if someone actually managed to conquer it?

If there really was someone who pulled it off.

When they knock down both pins at once, which one would that person pick up?

The seven pin or the ten pin?

Right or left?

Or maybe… they’d just scoop up both together?

But nah, that’s impossible.

In the end, you’d have to choose one, and the other gets left behind.

“Ahh…”

Just like how Tendou-kun is clutching his head right now staring at the ball that went straight into the gutter—if you get too greedy and try to grab both, you might end up missing even one.

Who would Tendou-kun choose between me and Mizuki?

Who would Mizuki pick between me and Tendou-kun?

And me… who would I put first between Tendou-kun and Mizuki?

Maybe it’d actually be happier if neither of us got chosen by him, and the three of us just stayed friends forever.

Maybe it’s better for both pins to stay standing like this, so everyone can just give up.

The fact that I’m even thinking stuff like this probably means I’m already losing, huh.

“Whoa, I totally lost!”

I watched Tendou-kun come back with this super refreshed grin while laughing, and yeah… my heart still went thump-thump like crazy.

“See? Being greedy is no good. You know that saying—chase two rabbits and you catch neither.”

“But you’re the one who told me to go for it, Yuzuki-san!”

“Ahaha, did I? Whoops. But yeah, maybe from now on you should just decide on one side to aim for.”

“Yeah… ugh, but it still sucks so bad!”

While he was grumbling about it, I hit him with, “You’re still waaay off from beating me, you know.”

I said it while secretly wishing with all my heart that we could just keep having times like this forever.

“I’m not gonna let you quit bowling until you manage to beat me, okay?”

I said it kinda like I was driving a nail in.

He just smiled like he had no clue and went, “Of course. This is way too fun to quit.”

But honestly… I’m pretty sure—no, I’m totally sure—I’m the one enjoying this more.

Getting to do something you love with the person you love.

Just like how Mizuki gets to lose herself writing novels with him, for me, this kind of time is the absolute happiest.

What about Tendou-kun?

“Hey.”

I probably shouldn’t ask.

If I do, I might ruin all this fun we’re having.

Maybe it’s better to just leave things like this.

But… I don’t wanna leave it like this.

“Which is more fun—bowling or writing novels?”

“Huh?”

He looked totally thrown off when I suddenly hit him with a super serious question. Obviously.

“…I dunno, just wondering. Maybe writing novels at home with Mizuki is actually more fun for you, huh?”

“What’s with the sudden seriousness? You sulking ’cause your score sucked or something?”

“It’s not… well, maybe a little. But seriously, what if? Like, if you had to make the ultimate choice—like that split just now—and you could only aim for one?”

The ultimate choice.

If he really had to pick one and only one.

When I threw that kinda mean question at him…

“Hmm… probably still try for both, like earlier.”

“…Not just ’cause I told you to go for it?”

“Well, that’s part of it, but… I don’t wanna throw away any possibility. Plus, I like writing novels with Mizuki-san just as much as I like bowling with you, Yuzuki-san. So yeah, I really can’t choose.”

He gave me this shy grin and said sorry, and… I felt a tiny bit relieved.

I wanted him to choose me, but… I’m kinda glad he couldn’t.

And hey, I’m still right there competing with Mizuki.

“Y-yeah, you’re right. The stuff we do is completely different anyway. It’s weird to even compare.”

“Novels are what I’m really into right now, and sure, aiming higher never ends, but bowling’s the same way. When it comes to feeling fulfilled, they’re both about the same for me.”

“But still… novels are something that could actually help your future, right? Bowling’s just… playing around, isn’t it?”

“You think? There are pros, y’know. And look at those old folks over there—they’re still having a blast even at their age. That’s kinda cool, isn’t it? My grandpa’s obsessed with golf, it’s totally just play for him, but it’s his reason for getting up every day and he looks so happy.”

No matter what negative stuff I throw at him, Tendou-kun just keeps turning it positive.

I know that, and yet I keep asking these kinds of questions anyway. It’s such a bad habit of mine.

Even today, instead of caring about my bowling score, I went out of my way to wear this kinda hard-to-move-in outfit just ’cause I wanted him to think I looked cute.

I’m so not honest.

Is Mizuki more honest than me?

When they’re alone together… does she get all clingy and sweet with him?

“…Tendou-kun.”

“Hm? Wanna do another game?”

“Yeah. And also…”

I still don’t have the guts to put these feelings into words yet.

But little by little…

Even just a tiny bit at a time, I’ve gotta move forward too.

‘Cause staying exactly the same as Mizuki isn’t okay.

“U-um… after this… wanna go on a date?”
