Waking Up Engaged to a Cool Yandere Beauty: My Wild Journey with a Love-Obsessed Senior - Episode 23: \"Uka Finally Started Dating\"

Episode 23: “Uka Finally Started Dating”

“Everyone, listen up.” In a dark conference room, a woman’s voice echoed, marking a quiet beginning.

“Heh, Supreme Commander. For someone like you to personally gather us, the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’… Must be a serious situation, right?”

This man, once on the verge of falling into the dark side (the V world), was one of the biggest fools among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Nickname: The One Who Knows Light and Darkness – Isaka Akira.

“Really. It’s not like it’s an urgent matter… This bulk is aching,” said another, a man with immense strength, yet a surprising aversion to insects.

Nickname: The Mighty Bulk – Kurumiya Shinji.

“W-Well… hehehe, as long as the Supreme Commander is with me… hehehe, anywhere, anytime…” said the next, a seemingly modest girl, but in truth, a full-fledged scent fetishist who had stepped into the world of madness.

Nickname: The Mad Pursuer – Sunabashi Rin.

And lastly, the man who had risen from the ranks of a traitor to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

“So, what kind of situation is it?” asked the last, the most serious of the bunch.

Nickname: The Cruel Glasses – Keiyama Takeshi.

The supreme commander, Anzai Mariori, took a sharp breath, and tension filled the room. Someone’s throat audibly gulped.

“It seems Uka… has finally started dating Shion.”

““What!?!”” It felt like lightning struck the Four Heavenly Kings as the news hit them.

“Impossible! That guy!?!” one of them yelled. “Honestly, I don’t care. But… Hehehe, I’d rather hang out with Mari-chan the president… hehehe,” another one mumbled.

“Hah! That bastard… Saying he has something more important than Bulk! That’s nonsense!” Shinji growled.

“I knew it! I knew it!” Rin grinned. “Silence! All of you!” Mariri’s stern voice silenced them immediately.

“Listen closely. I have an order. Everyone, listen well.”

… After the second period, I left the classroom, side bag in hand, heading to my usual class.

Ah, the world is beautiful today as well. Why, you ask? Because the most beautiful and cutest senior in the world is my girlfriend.

She’s an amazing cook, selfless… Yeah, she’s just perfect. Lost in a blissful sense of happiness, as I turned a corner, a figure appeared in front of me.

“Oops!” “Ah!” I didn’t avoid it in time, and we bumped into each other.

The person was a girl. She fell on her bottom. “I’m sorry! Are you alright…?”

Wait. The girl I bumped into wasn’t just any girl.  She was the kind of person who would stand at the center of a Western garden full of blooming roses, shining brilliantly under the sunlight—an embodiment of grace and beauty, like a pure white lily.

“I’m sorry. I was a little distracted,” she said. A super gorgeous girl. The kind of woman who would perfectly fit the term “high-class lady.”

Oh man… She’s almost terrifyingly beautiful, in a way that sends shivers down my spine.

“Is something wrong, sir?” she asked, her voice like velvet. “Sir!?” I stammered. What kind of address is that!? I’ve never heard that before, and it’s like calling someone an insult in slang!

“Well, I’ll be going now. Have a nice day,” she said, gently gracefully lifting her skirt.

“Ah, yes. Take care,” I stammered, my greeting turning awkward. “…Hmm, I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

Of course, someone as striking as her wouldn’t be easy to forget, but… “Well, whatever. I have my girlfriend. No matter how beautiful that girl is, it doesn’t matter.”

Because my girlfriend is cuter! …Later that day… “Mission complete!” the door slammed open.

A beautiful girl walked in, or rather, it should have been a beautiful girl, but…

“Who are you?!” “Ah! This is bad!” Akira and Shinji both immediately noticed the strange presence.

“Ugh! Is she some kind of vengeful spirit!?” Shinji shouted. The two of them quickly recognized the overwhelming dark aura that the girl exuded.

“Well done, Rinrin. You really are my loyal right hand!” Mariri praised her.

“My right hand? …Hehehe, does that mean I can stay by your side, Sensei? Hehehe,” Rin giggled in a disturbingly eerie manner.

Rinrin dressed up, was a jaw-dropping beauty. But her true nature remained unchanged—she was still a scent fetishist.

“Hmm, wait. Where’s Keiyama?” Akira yawned before asking. “Huh? Oh, I sent him off to the East Campus after he failed at the party tricks.”

“That’s cruel…” Akira muttered. “The Four Heavenly Kings’ reputation is crying,” Shinji added with a chuckle.

With a single clap, Mariri gathered everyone’s attention. “Now, it’s your turn, you two idiots,” she ordered.

““Yes, Ma’am!”” The two responded with full military precision. The East Campus was that important, after all.

“You know the drill. Don’t let anyone near the classrooms where you two are. That’s your mission!” Mariri commanded.

“Yes, Ma’am!” “Go! You pests!” she shouted. The two rushed out of the room, heading down the hallway.

…Meanwhile, in the empty classroom during lunch… “Shion-senpai,” I called softly.

“What is it, Rei-kun?” she replied, turning her attention to me. “I… um…” I was trying to find the right words.

The stack of bento boxes in front of me was now a five-layered mountain, the pinnacle of her affection.

“Phew…” “…Was that too much?” “No! Not at all! I can handle it! Now, here goes!” I said, quickly grabbing my chopsticks and diving into the meal.

It tasted amazing, of course. It felt like she had tailored it even more to my liking.

“Hey, Rei-kun…” she said, breaking the peaceful silence. “…Hm? What is it?”

“I love you.” Gah, I almost choked. I was about to spew rice all over the place. Desperately, I grabbed my cup, trying to regain composure.

“Ha… Ha… Uh, yeah, yeah!” I replied, gulping down the water.

“Well, I love you too. Here,” she said, handing me a large envelope, A3-sized, much bigger than any school document.

“Can I open it?” I asked, confused. “Of course,” she nodded.

It wasn’t sealed, so it opened right up, revealing a piece of paper with pink borders.

“Uh, what’s this…?” “A marriage certificate!!?”

Wait, too soon!! We’ve only been dating for a week! “…I want you to hold onto it. If I kept it, I might end up submitting it without thinking.”

“Oh… I see,” I said, trying to process what was going on. But wait, why was my name on this certificate?

“Uh, Shion-senpai? Why does my name… and even my seal, birthdate, and guarantor details… appear here?” I asked, flabbergasted.

“I met your mother. She’s a very interesting person,” she said casually. “WHAT?! Why would you—”

My shout echoed through the room. Why didn’t she at least tell me beforehand? “…Is that bad?” she asked, looking a little worried.

“No, it’s fine!” I quickly reassured her. Yeah, it was just a reflex. But if Shion-senpai is happy, I guess it’s okay.

I resumed eating, though my mind was still racing. …Meanwhile… “Ma-Mari-chan?” Rin called, looking very flustered.

“Those two, they… they…” Mariori was shaking, spitting bubbles out of her mouth in a state of panic.

“Mari-chan! Snap out of it!” Rin rushed to her side. “Ahahaha, Uka’s grown up so much…”

Mariri, the tennis club president, was supposed to be the supreme leader in emergencies. But her true feelings were something else entirely.

“I see. Uka… has moved past his trauma. I see,” she muttered, her voice cracking.

She had loved him. The boy who was once so foolish, so kind, yet so tragically scarred by his past.

She had wanted to help him. But the fear of touching his wounds had kept her from doing anything.

That was the essence of Anzai Mariri. “Marrii-chan, senpai?” Rin asked gently.

“…What’s wrong, Rinrin?” Mariri’s face was torn between sadness and joy.

Rinrin couldn’t understand it fully, but… Because, from her eyes, tears—tears of sorrow—were falling.
