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 69

♤

“…So like… is that really what that meant?”

I stood in front of the bathroom mirror with the faucet still running, mumbling so quietly my voice almost got drowned out by the water.

Mizuki-san’s words from earlier.

I wanna keep making lunch for you every single day forever.

If you just took it at face value, it could sound like she just wants me to keep being her cooking practice buddy or whatever.

But after seeing those dreamy, half-lidded eyes of hers and the way she kept rubbing her foot against my leg… even I could tell it wasn’t anything that simple.

Yeah… that was definitely a confession, right?

Even someone like me with zero dating experience could at least figure that much out.

But still—if I got it wrong it’d be super embarrassing, and even if it was a confession, I had no clue what to say right then, so I just kinda dodged it and ran away.

“…Does Mizuki-san seriously like me for real?”

I tilted my head at my own lame reflection in the mirror.

I seriously couldn’t wrap my head around what someone as drop-dead gorgeous as her could possibly see in a guy like me.

The only reason we even got close was because she and Yuzuki-san switched places and I somehow figured it out, and that’s how we started talking.

The only real thing we do together is write novels, and even that’s just because the clubroom needed saving—it’s not like we had some big noble reason or anything.

She gives me advice sometimes, but I’ve never done anything that really affected her.

“Hmm…”

Maybe I’m just overthinking this.

Well… if she says something like that again next time, I can figure it out then.

…Wait, figure what out?

What are you even planning to say back?

Mizuki-san’s a great person. She’s reliable, super pretty, and she even gets along with Grandma.

She’s way more than I deserve—like, I don’t even come close, she’s got change coming back.

“…If that actually happened, what would Yuzuki-san think?”

I don’t have any siblings so I don’t really get it, but… how would it feel if your super important family member started dating one of your friends?

Like, hypothetically—if I really did end up dating Mizuki-san.

What would that make things with Yuzuki-san?

We probably couldn’t hang out the same way anymore—bowling, batting center, all that stuff, right?

…But if I’m using that as a reason, then it’d be the same problem no matter who I dated, not just Mizuki-san.

…I don’t get it.

Nakanishi probably wouldn’t know either. Actually, asking him would just make everything even more confusing.

Haa… guess for now I just gotta act like nothing happened and keep treating both of them normally.

Even though I tried to convince myself of that, the whole time I was walking out of the bathroom and heading back, those two wouldn’t leave my head.

I completely forgot to go back to the clubroom and ended up going straight back to the classroom instead.

“Yo, Asuka—I heard it all. So you really are dating Aoyama Mizuki, huh?”

The second I got back to class, Nakanishi came sprinting over, out of breath, and hit me with that.

“Huh? What’re you even talking about?”

“Wait, you’re saying it’s not true? Everyone’s going crazy ’cause word is Aoyama Mizuki got a boyfriend—and it’s the transfer student. You’re the only one who transferred in this year, dude.”

He came at me with this smug detective-who-just-solved-the-case face, and behind him I could feel these stinging glares poking into me.

Everyone was staring at me.

And not in a nice way.

For some reason Nakanishi looked super happy about it though.

“Nah, people are just misunderstanding ’cause of what happened this morning. Me and Mizuki-san aren’t like that.”

“For real? ‘Cause if you’re lying I’m gonna be pissed, y’know?”

“I swear to god. Right this second I don’t have a girlfriend.”

“Hmm. Well… if you’re saying it that hard, I’ll believe you.”

Nakanishi finally leaned back, and the people who’d been staring at me started looking away too.

…Man, this got way out of hand.

“Hey Nakanishi, I know it’s kinda late to ask, but… is Mizuki-san getting a boyfriend really that big of a deal?”

“Dude, how are you only asking now? Especially the older sister Mizuki—she’s famous for hating guys. People even call her the ‘Iron Maiden’ or whatever.”

Who the hell spread that nickname around?

“I dunno… the Mizuki-san everyone talks about sounds nothing like the one I know.”

“Ooh, listen to you getting all lovey-dovey. Of course she’s different around the person she likes. Yeah, trust me—from my vast experience, that’s how it works.”

Dude, your experience is literally zero.

And anyway—

“I don’t think it’s like that.”

“Then what is it?”

“Hmm… hard to explain. But like… did everyone do something to those two?”

“You mean bullying? Nah, never heard anything like that.”

“Not that. I mean… like, maybe said stuff that pissed them off or something.”

Even while I was saying it, I wasn’t sure myself anymore.

But I just had this feeling that there had to be some real reason why those two are so cold to guys.

I just couldn’t figure out what “everyone” did, or what made me different from them, so I couldn’t say anything concrete and the conversation just kinda died there.

Right then the bell rang to end lunch break.

Yuzuki-san came rushing back into the classroom just in time, and that’s when I remembered—I’d left the two of them waiting in the clubroom.

But there was nothing I could do about it now.

The second after school ended—

“Hey, why didn’t you come back?”

Yuzuki-san came straight at me, all up in my face.
