The Story of How Beautiful Yandere Girls Started Getting Closer to Me, Saying They Want to Take Care of Me - Chapter 72-73

Chapter 72: Thank You

“H-Hiiragi…? What’s going on—”

Seeing Hiiragi acting clearly different from usual, I tried to speak, wanting to check on her.

But before I could finish, she cut me off.

“Are you free after school today?”

“A-After school…?”

I didn’t want to worry An, Hinase, or Shirayuri-senpai any more than they already had been.

Besides, I was taking a break from my part-time job for the next few days.

“Oh, yeah, I’m free.”

Even though I was shaken by the heavy atmosphere I felt from Hiiragi, I answered.

She then turned her back to me.

“Then keep it that way. I’ll come get you in front of the classroom after school.”

“O-Okay.”

After I replied, Hiiragi walked away from our classroom.

Hinase, who had been watching the entire exchange, spoke up as soon as Hiiragi was gone.

“Sorakaze, did you do something to make Hiiragi-san mad?”

“No…”

To be fair, just looking at the way she spoke to me, it wouldn’t be strange to think that.

And in reality, there was no doubt that Hiiragi was feeling something negative toward me.

No doubt at all. But…

“I don’t remember doing anything like that…”

After thinking for a moment, I answered.

Hinase let out a small sigh before saying,

“Well, knowing you, there’s a good chance you did something without realizing it~.”

I couldn’t completely deny that.

But I really didn’t remember doing anything that would make Hiiragi angry.

As I was thinking about it…

“Jeez! You don’t have to overthink it so much! Even if Hiiragi-san gets really mad at you, at that time—”

Hinase then leaned in and whispered into my ear.

“Like I said earlier, I’ll let you touch my boobs.”

“…!”

Hearing that, I instinctively took a step back.

“L-Look. I’ve tried to tell you before, but I never properly said it, so I’ll say it now. I don’t actually want to touch them!”

“But before, you said you were interested!”

“I-I mean, I am… but that’s different from wanting to touch them.”

“No way, that’s a total lie!”

“I-It’s not a lie.”

Whatever the truth was, I firmly stated my stance.

Hinase, however, spoke up confidently.

“Then, let’s settle this with a match!”

“A match…?”

“That’s right! A match! If you lose, you have to touch my bo—”

Before she could finish saying something outrageous out loud, I quickly covered her mouth.

“Don’t say stuff like that out loud in the classroom…! I’ll hear the details of the match somewhere else…!”

When I said that, Hinase suddenly seemed to realize something and nodded vigorously.

Somehow, I felt like I had already used up all my energy this morning.

If I wasted my energy on something like this and my sickness came back, it wouldn’t even be a laughing matter.

As I thought about that, I removed my hand from Hinase’s mouth and, for the first time in two days, sat down in my seat.

Then…

“Oh, right!”

“What is it?”

Hinase pulled out a notebook.

“This! It’s for the days you were absent! I figured you’d be fine without it, but I took notes just in case!”

“!? You went out of your way to do that for me…?”

Saying that, I flipped through the notebook.

Looking at the notes, I found myself murmuring,

“And they’re so neatly written…”

“Hehe, amazing, right?”

“…Yeah.”

I’d seen Hinase’s notebook before when I helped her study.

But the notes in this one were far more organized and easy to understand compared to her usual ones.

That meant she had taken the time and effort to make sure I, who had been absent, could properly follow along with the lessons.

“I worked pretty hard on it, so you should praise me mo—huh…!?”

Before she could finish, I instinctively pulled her into a hug.

“Thank you, Hinase. Really.”

I expressed my heartfelt gratitude.

Hearing that, Hinase’s cheeks turned red, and she stammered,

“N-No, it’s nothing… For you, I’d…”

—After that.

After a moment, I let go of Hinase.

Then, I spent the rest of the day as usual—attending classes, eating lunch on the rooftop with Shirayuri-senpai.

And finally, the time had come for my after-school meeting with Hiiragi.

Chapter 73: Shall We?

Since it was after school, I stood up from my seat.

After exchanging a “See you tomorrow” with Hinase, I stepped into the hallway.

And there, Hiiragi was already waiting.

“Sorry, did I keep you waiting?”

“No, it’s fine. Let’s go.”

Even though it felt a little lighter compared to this morning, I still sensed a certain heaviness in Hiiragi’s mood.

“Yeah.”

Nodding, I walked with Hiiragi and left the school.

“……”

“……”

Walking together in complete silence like this was starting to feel really awkward.

To break the silence, I opened my mouth to speak.

“S-So, I nodded earlier, but… where are we going?”

“My house.”

“Hiiragi’s house, huh… So that means you finally found a game I might have a chance at winning?”

“It’s not a game. But if you look at it in terms of winning or losing, then maybe… though I can’t really imagine you winning, Sorakaze.”

“It’s not a game…?”

Since Hiiragi was a pro gamer and loved games, I hadn’t expected her to say that.

I was a little confused, but she spoke calmly.

“Games are fun, but we’re high schoolers now. If two people are together, there are all sorts of fun things to do besides playing games.”

“Well… yeah, I guess that’s true.”

Something about Hiiragi was still different from usual.

This morning, I wondered if she was mad at me, but if she were angry, she wouldn’t have invited me over to her house.

And since she mentioned “fun things,” she probably wasn’t upset.

That meant the only other possibility was that she wasn’t feeling well physically or mentally today.

But if that were the case, why would she go out of her way to invite me over?

It didn’t make sense.

“……”

With no clear answer in sight, I continued walking with Hiiragi until we finally arrived at her house.

“Excuse me for intruding.”

After stepping inside, I was led straight to her room.

“The bed’s fine, right?”

“Yeah.”

Following her lead, I walked toward Hiiragi’s bed with her.

I had been to her house twice before.

Both times, I was invited over to play games.

Once we started playing, I never felt nervous, and I always had a good time with her.

But today, Hiiragi said we weren’t going to play games.

In other words, I wasn’t here to game—I was here to spend time with Hiiragi.

That one difference was making me incredibly tense as I sat beside her on the bed.

“…Sorakaze, you weren’t feeling well yesterday and the day before, right?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah… that’s right.”

“I have another question. Do you remember when you told me, ‘If I ever get sick, you can do whatever you want with me’?”

“I-I remember… but why—”

“Good. If you remember, this will be quick.”

It’ll be quick?

What is she talking about?

Wait, hold on.

“Why the bed—”

I had been too distracted with my thoughts to notice earlier, but why did she ask me to sit on her bed in the first place?

Just as I was about to voice that question—

“…Huh?”

I heard a click—a sound that didn’t belong in a bedroom.

I turned toward the source of the noise.

I looked at my hands—

And saw something like handcuffs locked around my wrists.

“H-Handcuffs…? Why… why do you have handcuffs—?!”

Just as I was speaking,

Hiiragi suddenly pushed me lightly onto the bed.

She then secured the handcuffs to the bed and climbed on top of me.

“H-Hiiragi!? What are you—”

“You don’t need to be surprised, and you don’t need to be scared. From now on, you’re just going to experience fun and pleasurable things.”

“F-Fun things?”

When I repeated her words, Hiiragi darkened her expression slightly.

Then, she reached for the buttons on her uniform.

As she began to undo them, she spoke.

“That’s right. So—shall we start?”
