The Story of How Beautiful Yandere Girls Started Getting Closer to Me, Saying They Want to Take Care of Me - Chapter 17-18

Chapter 17: Can I Place My Hand on Yours?

“Hiiragi…?”

As I was confused, looking at Hiiragi’s face, which seemed both embarrassed and flustered, she finally spoke.

“The reason I keep the stuffed animal there…”

She started to explain, but then fell silent, looking away from me and saying:

“…Forget about that. Let’s just play the game. You came over to my house for that, right?”

“Ah? Yeah, you’re right.”

I was still curious about the stuffed animal, but as Hiiragi said, I didn’t come here to talk about that. I came to play games with her, so there was no reason to press on that topic.

After a moment of not looking at me, Hiiragi finally met my eyes again and spoke, now calm:

“Do you want to play with the gaming PC in front of you or with the game console on the low table over there?”

“I usually play with the game console, so I’d say that… but…”

I looked at the keyboard in front of me.

“I don’t get many chances to play with a keyboard, so I’d like to try it out for a bit.”

“Got it. Then I’ll teach you while you sit in that chair.”

“Okay.”

As she instructed, I sat down in the white gaming chair in front of me.

It was still a bit unfamiliar, but I thought it would be really comfortable once I got used to it.

While I was thinking that, Hiiragi, standing beside me, skillfully moved the mouse and launched ‘THE FPS,’ the game we were going to play.

We ended up in the practice area where you can train alone and practice your aim.

“I’ll explain the controls now. Place your hands on the keyboard.”

“Got it.”

I placed my hands on the keyboard, expecting Hiiragi to start explaining the controls. However…

“…”

Hiiragi fell silent, staring at my hands on the keyboard for a moment.

When I was about to ask what was wrong, Hiiragi spoke.

“…Hey. Instead of telling you which keys to press, I think it would be easier if you just used your fingers directly… Is it okay if I place my hand over yours?”

“That might be better… Actually, I’d appreciate that. Let’s do that.”

“…Okay, then.”

After I agreed, Hiiragi slowly placed her left hand on top of my left hand.

Her pale, slender hand, soft in some way, gently covered the back of my hand.

“…Your hand is pretty big. And it feels a little stiff.”

“I never really thought about it, but is that so?”

“Yeah. It’s clear that you’re working hard, just from your hands…”

Hiiragi said this in her usual calm tone, though there was a gentle note to her voice.

Then, after a moment, she pressed my fingers into place to show me the controls.

And then…

“How’s that? Want to try moving it around?”

“Yeah, I’ll try.”

After she finished explaining the controls, I responded, and Hiiragi reluctantly removed her hand from mine.

I quickly started moving the game character using the mouse.

“This key makes me move left, and this one moves me backward…”

However, my movements were clumsy, and if someone were watching from the outside, they’d probably think I was a complete beginner.

“…Hiiragi, how do you fight like that? Isn’t a controller easier?”

“Once you get used to it, the keyboard is the same. Plus, when you really get into it, a keyboard is more convenient.”

“Is that how it works… I can’t really imagine it.”

Still, since Hiiragi was actually able to use the keyboard to play at such a high level, I figured that world must really exist—it’s just hard for me to imagine.

“I’d like to keep using the keyboard, but I don’t think I’ll master it today. Can I play with the controller instead?”

“Yeah, that’s fine. Come over here.”

I stood up from the gaming chair and followed Hiiragi to the low table in the room.

Across the table were the monitors and the game console.

Hiiragi turned on the console and handed me one of the controllers out of the two she had taken out.

As I took it from her, I asked her a question.

“Thanks… Since you took out two, does that mean you’re playing with the controller too?”

“Yeah, I can move around with a controller too… and since we’re doing this, I’d like to play next to you.”

“Yeah, I get that.”

Once ‘THE FPS’ was launched again, we both joined the practice area for two players.

Immediately, the screen on the monitor in front of us split into two.

“So, this is how it looks when two people play.”

“This is actually the first time I’ve done this. The right side is mine, and the left side is yours.”

After Hiiragi’s explanation, I focused on the left screen. Once I had a weapon in the game, I faced Hiiragi in-game.

“Let’s see how we do in a fight.”

“Yeah.”

As I nodded, feeling a strange sensation from playing ‘THE FPS’ with Hiiragi sitting beside me, Hiiragi suddenly stood up.

“…Hiiragi? I thought we were going to fight now—”

Instead of answering, Hiiragi went behind me and sat down, then handed me the controller from behind.

“?!”

She pressed her body against mine from behind.

“Hi-Hiragi!? What are you—”

“If you don’t see me as a girl, this should be fine, right?”

Chapter 18: Hiiragi’s Charm

When Hiiragi pressed her body against mine, a pleasant fragrance filled my nose, and I felt the sensation on my back. I was flustered, so I spoke up.

“Y-You mean, if you don’t see me as a woman…? But that’s a separate issue, isn’t it?”

“It’s not a separate issue. If you don’t see me as a woman, you wouldn’t react at all if I hugged you from behind, would you?”

“Well…”

Hiiragi’s calm questioning made me lose my words. And… there’s a lot pressing against my back, but doesn’t Hiiragi care about that? Even though it’s through her uniform and hood, with this much contact, her chest… No, I shouldn’t let my mind go there. I managed to regain my composure enough to appear calm on the surface, and to hide the slight heat rising to my face, I consciously turned my face away from her and said what I was thinking.

“Hiiragi, it feels like there’s some anger in your words. Are you mad about something?”

“…No, I’m not mad.”

“Really?”

When I asked, Hiiragi paused for a moment before replying.

“…Yeah. I’m just not very cheerful, and compared to Hinase-san, who you talk to a lot, I don’t have that high school girl kind of brightness, and my chest is small. So, if you can’t see me as a woman because of that, I wouldn’t be mad.”

Not cheerful… Hinase… Brightness… Chest…?

“Um… I don’t really understand, but why are you bringing up Hinase now?”

I had many questions, but the main one was why Hinase was mentioned, so I decided to ask about that.

Hiiragi responded, opening her mouth.

“Why? It’s to make a comparison. She’s cheerful, a model, dresses flashy, and has a big chest. Since she talks to you a lot, it’s easy to compare her to me and understand why you can’t see me as a woman.”

“I don’t get that. Sure, Hinase has the personality and looks that are the embodiment of a high school girl, but that doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not you can see me as a woman.”

“Doesn’t have anything to do with it…?”

“Exactly. Hinase has her charm, and you, Hiiragi, have yours.”

For example, I continued.

“I find it easy to talk to you because of your calm vibe, and your looks are beautiful in a transparent kind of way. Also, as for your chest, I think it’s more than big enough for me…”

“…Hah.”

Hiiragi sighed and continued.

“Forget it. You don’t need to be considerate. Sure, it’s bigger than average, but with Hinase-san’s chest, which is so much bigger than average, I know you can’t think mine is big… And anyway, with how easily your feelings show on your face, I can tell whether what you just said is your real opinion or not—huh?”

Hiiragi leaned in to look at my face. Then, after a moment of silence, she spoke.

“…Why is your face so red?”

“…I’m just a guy who’s never had a girlfriend. With a girl pressing her body against me like this, there’s no way I wouldn’t be affected.”

“But… if that’s the case, why did you say earlier that you didn’t see me as a woman?”

“As a woman… I see now, that’s what you meant.”

Finally realizing where the misunderstanding between us came from, I answered what she’d asked.

“When I said I didn’t see you as a woman, I just wanted to make it clear that I didn’t have impure feelings for you. It doesn’t mean I don’t see you as a woman.”

“Is that so? Then, when you complimented me earlier, it was really what you think, right?”

“Yes. I was just saying exactly what I think about you, and it ended up sounding like a compliment.”

“…”

After I answered honestly, Hiiragi stopped looking at my face and fell silent. Eventually, she broke the silence.

“I’m sorry I made things complicated with my misunderstanding.”

I still didn’t fully understand why she was angry because of the misunderstanding, but anyway…

“If you understand now, that’s enough.”

With that, I thought the matter would be resolved if Hiiragi would just stop pressing her body against me.

However…

“…”

Hiiragi still showed no sign of pulling away. I found it strange and wondered if I should say something. Before I could decide, Hiiragi spoke again.

“Hey, Sora, about what you said earlier about impure feelings…”

Then, Hiiragi whispered in my ear.

“What if I told you I’d do that kind of thing with you? Would you want to do that with me?”
