The Story of How Beautiful Yandere Girls Started Getting Closer to Me, Saying They Want to Take Care of Me - Chapter 74-75

Chapter 74: Lies and Truth

“Sh…!?”

Hearing those completely unexpected words, I let out a startled voice and instinctively tried to move my hands. But with the handcuffs on, I couldn’t move them.

Meanwhile, Hiiragi showed no sign of stopping as she continued unbuttoning her uniform. Panicking, I quickly opened my mouth to speak.

“Wa-Wait! What exactly are you planning to do!?”

At my words, Hiiragi paused just as she was about to touch the third button.

“A boy and a girl alone together on a bed… there’s only one thing that could mean, right?”

She said it so casually, and a slight glimpse of her cleavage was visible from her chest area.

Though, if I had to find a silver lining in this situation—since she was sitting on top of me, I was looking up at her.

Because of that, I wasn’t seeing everything clearly. Trying my best to ignore her appearance, I spoke.

“I… I get what you’re trying to say, but why all of a sudden?”

“It’s not sudden. I told you before, didn’t I? That I wanted to do this with you, Sorakaze.”

“…! So this is also because you’re worried about my condition and want me to relax?”

But then—

“If that were the only reason, then why the handcuffs—”

“That’s part of it, but this time, it’s not just that.”

“…Huh?”

Not just that?

Then what other reason could there be?

Even in the brief silence that followed, I couldn’t figure it out.

Then, breaking that silence, Hiiragi spoke.

“I’ve actually been lying to you this whole time, Sorakaze.”

“L… Lying?”

“Yeah, lying… Remember back in early May? I asked you what you thought about the idea of me supporting you in your daily life because I was so worried about your health.”

“Oh.”

That was the day when my face must have looked even paler than usual. Hinase, Shirayuri-senpai, and An had all said they wanted to support me.

I remember…

“…So, what did you say to their offer, Sorakaze?”

“Of course, I turned them down. I can’t burden others with my own issues.”

“I see… I see. Even if they don’t see it as a burden?”

“Obviously. Even if they don’t think it’s a burden, that doesn’t change the fact that it would still be a weight on them.”

I recall having that conversation.

As I was remembering, Hiiragi spoke again, her tone now darker.

“At the time, I told you I agreed with you, right? That even if the other person didn’t see it as a burden, I still wouldn’t want to weigh them down—just like you said.”

“Yeah, you did.”

“——That was a lie.”

“…What? That was…? Then… you actually think differently from me?”

“Yeah. Back then, I didn’t want you to hate me, and I wanted to be there for you if you were feeling exhausted. So I just went along with what you said… But what I’m doing now is my real feelings.”

As she spoke, Hiiragi placed her hands on me.

Her eyes were shadowed, but her voice was gentle.

“The truth is, I never wanted you to push yourself, even if I had to tie you down like this. I really wanted to support you too, Sorakaze… Because if I did, we could play games together every day, and you wouldn’t have to suffer anymore.”

“…!”

So this… was Hiiragi’s true feelings.

“If it’s not a burden, then there’s no reason why I can’t help. Just standing by and watching you struggle is way harder.”

And then, she continued.

“From now on, I’ll be the one to support you, Sorakaze. We’ll play games together every day, and whenever we feel like it, we can do it as many times as we want… So for the sake of that happy future—let’s do it now, okay?”

“I understand what you’re trying to say, and even though you lied, in the end, you were still thinking about me… I get that now.”

But still—

“I just can’t do something like that with a friend.”

“…Then, what if we weren’t just friends?”

“…Huh? What do you mean by that—”

Before I could finish my sentence, Hiiragi hugged me tightly.

“I… love you, Sorakaze Ritsu. As a man.”

Chapter 75: Hiiragi Yukine’s Confession

“…!?”

Hiiragi likes me.

If this had been the usual Hiiragi, I probably would have said something like, “Don’t mess with me!”

But looking into her clear eyes right now—

I couldn’t say anything like that, no matter what.

“…You really are dense, Sorakaze. You didn’t realize I liked you until just now.”

As I stood there, at a loss for words, Hiiragi looked up at my face and said that. Even through my shock, I managed to string some words together.

“But… You never showed any signs that you thought of me that way…”

“I know I’m not good at showing my emotions, but think about it. I told you I don’t have parents, and then I let a boy into my room. That obviously means I’m fine with whatever happens, right? And the reason I’m fine with it is—because I like you, Sorakaze.”

“…!”

“…I can’t say exactly when I started liking you. But as you can tell, I’m not very expressive, and I never really had any friends I truly enjoyed being around.”

Then, she continued.

“But one day, I happened to talk to you, and it was easy. You even played the games I recommended… Before I knew it, I started checking if you were online every time I logged in. And before I realized it, I had fallen for you.”

Hiiragi tightened her embrace around me.

“From now on, I want to take care of you, Sorakaze. I want us to play games together every day. I’ve been doing well in tournaments, so I don’t have any financial problems. Supporting you wouldn’t be a burden at all—so is there any reason I shouldn’t?”

It wouldn’t be a burden to Hiiragi.

It wouldn’t cause any more worry for her or anyone else.

Instead, we could have fun together.

Did I really have a reason to refuse her offer?

Of course, at this point, saying, “I’d feel bad being taken care of” and rejecting her just because of social norms—

That would be the worst thing I could do.

“…”

However.

Something inside me still told me this wasn’t right.

It wasn’t about what was socially acceptable.

It was just a feeling I had within me.

Even when Hinase, Shirayuri-senpai, and An had said similar things to me before—

I still felt like I couldn’t just accept their kindness.

Because—

“I see…”

“…Sorakaze?”

For a long time, I hadn’t been able to find an answer.

But now, I finally knew why I felt this way.

“Hiiragi. I still can’t let you take care of me.”

“…! Why? Do you not want to be with me forever?”

“That’s not it!”

I firmly denied that and continued.

“I’m really happy that you and everyone else care about me enough to want to support me. And honestly, being together forever sounds like the best thing. But… I don’t want to stay with the people who care about me while being dependent on them.”

“…!”

“If anything, I want to show you something cooler. If you all care about me this much, then I want to be someone worth caring about—so I can’t let you take care of me, Hiiragi.”

“…I see.”

Even though I had just rejected her offer,

Hiiragi looked somewhat happy as she softly smiled.

“That’s just like you, Sorakaze. No matter what I said, I was going to insist on taking care of you… But your answer is exactly why I love you, so I can’t argue.”

“Hiiragi… Thank you.”

We gazed into each other’s eyes for a moment.

Then, as the silence stretched on, I slightly moved my restrained hands and spoke.

“So… Can you take off these handcuffs now? They don’t seem to be real, but they’re sturdy enough that I can’t get them off by myself.”

“…Sorakaze.”

“Hm?”

“Do you remember what you said before, and what I just told you?”

“Huh…?”

I couldn’t see where this was going and let out a confused sound.

But Hiiragi continued without hesitation.

“Before, you said, ‘If I ever get sick, you can do whatever you want with me.’ And now, I just told you that I love you.”

“What does that have to do with—”

“It’s simple. The person I love gave me permission to do whatever I want, and right now, that person is tied up and unable to move—so do you really think I wouldn’t do anything?”

“Wha—?”

As she spoke, Hiiragi unbuttoned her shirt completely.

She still had her short-sleeved uniform shirt on, but with all the buttons undone—

I could see her dark-colored underwear and the deep valley of her large chest.

“W-What are you thinking—”

“Jumping straight to the real thing would probably be too much for you, so I’ll hold back on that. But even if I’m expressionless and don’t act girly, I’m still a woman. I want you to understand that with your body, Sorakaze.”

Saying that, Hiiragi placed both hands on my face.

If she was trying to prove her femininity by doing something to me—

“W-Wait. I never thought you weren’t feminine… Sure, you’re composed, but from your appearance to how much fun you have, you’re a girl who’s fun to be around.”

If I told her my honest feelings, maybe she’d stop.

Or so I thought—

“I was holding back, but if you say something like that… Now I really want to go all the way.”

“Huh!?”

That seemed to have the opposite effect, as Hiiragi blushed slightly and pulled my face closer.

“But first…”

She whispered softly—

“…!?”

Then, Hiiragi pressed my face between her large breasts.
