Until My Spirit Was Destroyed By My Super Yandere Childhood Friend And I Fell Into Darkness - Chapter 8 (Sorry, Sensei. Let’s drop that idea)

Sorry, Sensei. Let’s Drop That Plan

“……How did you do on the test?”

“Thanks to Sensei, I was able to avoid red marks in all subjects.”

Today, a week after the test, I was in the library receiving a report from Minase-san about the test results.

In our high school, a score below half of the average is considered a red mark, and when I asked to see Minase-san’s answer sheets, it was clear that her scores were above the red mark line in all subjects. Well, all the scores were just above the red mark line.

“Good for you, now you don’t have to worry about being expelled.”

“Yeah, really, it’s like, thank God for Sensei.”

Seeing Minase-san so happily talking like that made me happy, too.

I was convinced that if we continued to study together at the same pace, we would definitely be able to improve her scores.

“So, going forward, what do you plan to do? I know it’s a lot of work to do it every day, so I’m thinking about doing it occasionally, except before a test.”

I asked her this because we had promised to study together on the day before the regular test, but she gave me an answer that I couldn’t believe my ears.

“Sorry, Sensei. Let’s drop that plan.”

“…..what?”

“Actually, I’ve fallen in love with Alan Kisaragi-kun, and I don’t want anyone to see me with you and misunderstand us.”

I didn’t understand what Minase-san said.

No, I should say that my brain refused to understand it.

What in the world had happened to Minase-san, who had never shown any signs of such behavior until now?

I was stunned and thinking such things, but Minase-san, with the expression of a maiden in love, began to tell me how she fell in love with Alan.

After school on the first day of the regular test, she was leaving the classroom after her shift when she was bumped by a large rugby team member who was looking away from her and almost fell down.

But then Alan, who happened to be in the class, gently held her in his arms and saved her from falling.

The moment he embraced her, she felt an electric current running through her body, and at that moment, Minase-san was convinced that she had fallen in love with Alain at first sight.

Minase-san then immediately exchanged contact information with Alan and began to communicate with him in various ways.

After hearing the whole story, I could not hide my shock, but then I remembered that Alan had a girlfriend to begin with.

I put everything on the hope that Minase-san would give up on Alan when she found out that he had a girlfriend.

“……..Unfortunately, Alan has a girlfriend, so dating him is impossible.”

“I know that, but I don’t mind being his second. Besides, if I can be his second, I might be able to become his first sooner or later.”

Surprisingly, Minase-san said that with a serious face.

Realizing that there was nothing more I could say, in the end, I became speechless.

“So today is the last time I will talk with Sensai, or rather Kaito, in the library like this. But I really appreciated it. Thank you so much for teaching me.”

After saying this, Minase-san left the library.

◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇

I honestly remember very little after Minase-san left me in the library.

I couldn’t remember anything about how I got back to class after that, or how I got through my afternoon classes.

I noticed that it was after school, and started to head for the shoe box with dizzy steps.

But on the way there, I recalled the conversion of lunchtime and felt furiously sick.

I ran to the washroom and vomited the food I ate for lunch into the toilet bowl.

I kept vomiting, but after a while there was nothing left to throw out.

“……I look miserable.”

When I looked in the mirror, I saw my reflection with a pale face like a dead body, which made me feel really miserable.

I started to think that if I had gone back to the classroom when I had felt strangely uneasy, none of this would have happened, but now it’s too late.

I exited the bathroom and walked toward the shoebox with unsteady steps again.

And when I arrived at the shoebox, Ellen was waiting for me as usual, but I wasn’t in a good mood to talk at the moment.

That’s why I tried to ignore Ellen and just go home, but that didn’t happen.

Ellen noticed my condition and rushed over with a change in her expression.

“Wa-Wait, Kaito-kun. Are you okay?!”

“…… Sorry, I’m just not in the mood to talk today. So leave me alone.”

“That’s impossible. Right now, Kaito-kun looks like he’s about to disappear any moment.”

Ellen would not leave my side after saying such a thing.

I was getting more and more frustrated with Ellen, and I was about to yell at her, but then I realized that it would be nothing more than taking it out on her.

I felt a strong sense of disgust at myself for trying to take it out on Ellen, who was concerned about me, which made my mood sink even lower.

“I don’t know what happened, but I will always stay by your side, Kaito-kun.”

Unable to withstand the kind words being directed at me, tears began to stream down my face. Watching my appearance, Ellen began to gently pat my head.

“You did a great job. You don’t have to put up with it anymore.”

Ellen stayed by my side until I stopped crying.

I finally calmed down and slowly began to tell Ellen about the day’s events as we walked home.

Ellen was silently listening to me, but when I had finished everything, she opened her mouth.

“Minase-san is really disgusting. I didn’t have a good impression of her to begin with, but I didn’t think she was that bad of a woman. I’m sure her grades have improved thanks to you, Kaito-kun, but to trample on that goodwill is nothing but unforgivable.”

Seeing Ellen so angry for me as if it was me made me feel a little bit better.

I was really happy to see such kindness from Ellen.
