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

Chapter 94: Summer Festival

────Around the time August was coming to an end.

Today was the summer festival, and I was waiting for everyone near the festival grounds.

“────Sorakaze~! Sorry to keep you waiting~!”

“It took longer than expected to put on my yukata.”

“This is my first time wearing a yukata, and it’s really hard to put on.”

“I thought the same thing the first time I wore one…!”

Just as I heard those voices—

“…!”

In front of me, I saw:

Hinase in an orange yukata.

Shirayuri-senpai in a white yukata with floral patterns.

An in a pink yukata.

Hiiragi in a navy blue yukata.

And I immediately spoke.

“Everyone… you all look beautiful.”

“…!”

“Thank you, Ritsu-san. Your yukata looks wonderful on you as well.”

“R-Really?”

“Yeah! Onii-chan, it really suits you…!”

“I… think it looks cool on you, too.”

“…Thanks.”

After that, we exchanged our thoughts on each other’s yukata.

In the end, we all ended up complimenting one another.

Then, we headed into the summer festival together.

“This is my first time at a summer festival, but there are so many people here.”

“I haven’t been to one since I was a kid, but yeah, summer festivals always have a lot of people.”

“Yeah! Especially this place! But that just means there are more food stalls, so you can have fun even if you have to wait in line a little!”

“The place Onii-chan and I used to go every year was somewhere else, so this is a new experience for me…!”

As we chatted, we walked through the festival and soon began checking out the stalls together.

────Shooting game.

“What!? H-Hiiragi, you’re way too good at this!?”

“As long as you understand how it works, it’s not that different from an FPS.”

“As expected…!”

“Her eyes just now… were exactly like a hunter’s, locking onto its prey… A flawless shot.”

“Yeah… those were the eyes of a hunter…”

“Sorakaze, we need to have a little talk later.”

“Why just me!?”

────Super Ball scooping.

“Ah, it ripped~!”

“…Damn, mine too.”

A little while later, both An and Hiiragi’s scooping nets broke as well.

“I see… This is my first time playing this too, but if you get the hang of controlling your strength, you could probably scoop up as many as you want.”

Shirayuri-senpai kept scooping Super Balls endlessly, as if she was aiming for a world record. As time passed, the shopkeeper’s face grew visibly paler.

But since we were here to have fun and not to collect Super Balls, we each kept just one and returned the rest so others could play.

After that, we spent time eating cotton candy and candied apples.

Then, as the highlight of the summer festival—the fireworks—were about to begin, we headed toward the viewing area.

“Spending the summer festival with everyone is so much fun~! I want to come again next year~!”

Hinase exclaimed cheerfully, and Shirayuri-senpai smiled gently.

“Yes. This was my first summer festival, and I enjoyed it very much. I would love to come again next year with everyone.”

“Me too…!”

“I want to go again.”

“…Ritsu-san, what about you?”

As Shirayuri-senpai asked that, everyone turned to look at me at once.

“Of course, next year too, I want to—”

Just as I was about to say that, I stopped myself and continued.

“Not just next year… but the year after that, and the year after that, too. Not just summer festivals, but I want to go to all kinds of places with everyone and keep spending time together. And I want to be someone who can proudly stand beside all of you.”

“…! Ritsu-san…”

“Sorakaze…!”

“Onii-chan…!”

“Sorakaze…”

As they called my name, everyone hugged me at the same time.

“Let’s stay together forever, Sorakaze! It’s a promise…!”

“Let’s always be together, Ritsu-san… I will definitely make you happy.”

“We’ll always be together, Onii-chan…! Just like before, now, and forever…!”

“Even if you say otherwise now, it’s already too late… I’m never letting go.”

Hearing everyone’s words, I couldn’t help but smile.

I hugged everyone back, and at that moment—

Fireworks lit up the night sky, filling the area with beautiful light.

The fireworks might fade away soon.

But… my feelings will never disappear.

Chapter 95: The Second Anniversary (END)

──── Two years later.

Hinase, Hiiragi, and I are now first-year university students.

Shirayuri-senpai is in her second year of university.

An is now a third-year high school student.

Hinase, Hiiragi, Shirayuri-senpai, and I all enrolled in the same university.

An is also set to join us at the same university next year.

Since it was the university Shirayuri-senpai attended, it was a pretty high bar to reach, but thanks to all of us helping Hinase with studying—and, more than anything, Hinase’s determination—our goal of getting in together became a reality.

And since a lot has changed over these past two years, I want to take a moment to look back on everything.

First, Hinase has become even more popular than she was in high school.

She’s now an extremely famous model, and if you go out into town, you’ll see her on the cover of magazines in bookstores.

Not just that, but she’s also on posters all over the place.

Apparently, though, she has a strict rule against wearing anything too revealing, like swimsuits. Just the other day, she told me, “The only one I’d ever show myself like that to is you, Ritsu.”

Honestly, it was super embarrassing, but hearing that from the girl I love made me feel… well, of course, I didn’t hate it. If anything, I was really happy.

Next, Shirayuri-senpai is steadily preparing to take over the Shirayuri Group, handling things that are far beyond my understanding.

Just like in high school, she continues to display her brilliance in university.

During a recent academic presentation, she delivered a thesis that didn’t seem like it came from a university student at all. It drew attention not just from within the university but from the public as well.

Then there’s An, who has gained incredible popularity as a high school actress.

Now, there isn’t a day you don’t see her on TV.

Her success isn’t just because of her natural beauty and talent; it’s backed by real effort.

Her already impressive acting skills have improved even more.

And, in a situation somewhat similar to Hinase’s, An refuses to take on any romantic roles, saying, “The only one I love, whether at work or in everyday life, is you, Onii-chan.”

She said it so straightforwardly that it caught me off guard, but to be honest, I was really happy.

As for Hiiragi, she’s still active as a professional gamer.

She was already amazing in high school, but now she’s become a world-renowned player.

We still play games together often, but her skills have improved so much that she’s on a completely different level than before.

Speaking of games, after we finished playing the other night and were spending some time together, she suddenly said, “I love games, but I never thought I’d love someone more than gaming.”

That made me genuinely happy.

Lastly, as for me, I’ve been focusing on my university studies while working part-time.

At the same time, I’ve been studying on my own, hoping that if any of them ever need help, I can be there for them.

I think our current relationships should be clear from everything I’ve just said────

“Ritsu~! I got the cake for our second anniversary!”

Even after two years, nothing has changed between us.

If anything, our bond has only grown stronger.

Today marks two years since we started dating.

“Ah, thanks.”

When I thanked her, the others, who had followed Hinase into the living room, also started talking.

“It’s already been two years since then.”

“Right?! Time flies!”
