When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere!

Emiko has always been a diligent and obedient child in her mother’s eyes.

Miyako remembers, how Emiko has always listened to what she said and suggested for Emiko’s betterment. Yes, Miyako was against the idea of allowing Emiko’s work as an idol, but when the girl just wished for six months in exchange for whatever Miyako decided afterward, the older Harada yielded.

And now she could proudly say, that Emiko took a really good decision for herself, for the first time. Emiko was her daughter, so it was given all her decisions and steps would be toward a bright future.

Even after Emiko began her company despite being in college and also landed her feet in the industry, Miyako had a command over her daughter. Whatever Emiko did, she always asked for her mother’s suggestion…and that made the elder one think, that Emiko would remain like this for the rest of her life.

Compliant and assiduous.

However, at the moment, all she could see was a rebellious Emiko who was siding with someone else and going against her own mother.

…this was ridiculous.

“Mom…I am very thankful that you gave birth to me and I have been a good daughter to you and Dad until now, haven’t I? I did what you asked, I moved as you commanded…but you know why I never asked for anything in return?”

Miyako’s eyes remained narrowed, watching her daughter’s improper behavior and how casually she was talking to her.

Emiko didn’t wait for her mother’s response before she continued, “Haru-kun is my greed, Mom. I want him more than anything and anyone. Regard this as my only request and bless us with good luck for our future.”

Haruki couldn’t help flinching slightly. He was messed up with several emotions striking him at the same time.

For once, he was feeling restless by the cold glare of the oldest one here. Secondly, the posture in which Emiko sat was making it uncomfortable for something to remain under control. And third, Emiko’s declaration…

‘She is too damn committed…’ Haruki felt a little emotional after hearing those words from Emiko but he held his emotions for the time being.

On the other hand, Miyako breathed a long sigh, before she calmed herself down a little. She shouldn’t be losing composure now, or this matter wouldn’t be sorted any time soon.

“Listen Emiko…if you want to date him for the time being then it’s alright…but-”

“No, Mom. There is no ‘but’ or ‘if’. And Haru-kun isn’t just going to be my boyfriend.”

*Snap*

“So what are you considering doing with this useless boy?! Marry him?!”

How much she tried calming herself down and taking this matter cautiously, Miyako’s patience was worn out the very instance her words were interrupted followed by Emiko’s declaration.

How can a mother let her daughter get tied with a bum like Haruki when she could have married a far better man who not only would have assisted Emiko in reaching greater heights but also kept her happy for the rest of her life?

“Useless man? Haha…what an irony, Mom.”

Miyako’s brows scrunched hearing the fake laughter from her daughter.

However, before she could say anything, Emiko continued, “You are calling Haruki-kun a useless man even though he has been working as a part-timer since the age of fourteen to support his family. And, on the other hand, I remember the time when you married Dad, he was still unemployed at the age of twenty-two, I guess?”

Haruki gulped in fret as he sensed the elevating temperature of the room. However before he could ask Emiko to stop saying such rude things, Miyako slammed her hand on the table and shouted,

“You are insulting your father, Emiko!”

“And you are insulting my love, Mom!”

Emiko clearly was not in the mood to take anything against Haruki. Her eyes were aflame with the emotion of anger. She was hurt and enraged by the fact that Haruki was being disrespected again and again.

The atmosphere between the two was quite ominous as both Harada breathed heavily while glaring at each other. None of them seemed to be ready to surrender.

In the end, Haruki took the step and held Emiko’s hand to break her wordless onslaught. Her eyes immediately shook before she turned to look at Haruki.

“Harada-san…I know about what you are worried about and why you dislike me so much. I am just a middle-class boy who is still in his learning phase and also, doesn’t have any bright future worthy of being compared to Emiko-san.”

Emiko shook her head and wanted to deny his words but upon feeling his hold getting firmer on her, she understood his unspoken request and remained silent.

On the other hand, Miyako also seemed to have calmed down a little as she took some heavy breaths to ease her nerves.

“At least you have been gifted with a general conscience to understand the situation.”

Emiko felt annoyed hearing her mother’s words as she narrowed her eyes again but didn’t speak anything. She trusted her Haru-kun and allowed him to take charge.

In response, Haruki remained silent for a bit before a smile lifted his lips as he spoke in his natural tone,

“Even I am a middle-class guy who is just leeching your daughter, Harada-san…It doesn’t mean I would remain the same forever. I mean, I think Emiko-san was just like me before entering high school, right?”

Hearing his words, Emiko responded with vigorous nods. Before she began working as an idol, her family was also considered middle-class where both the man and the woman had to work for survival.

This time Miyako had nothing to retort about so she kept her mouth shut and heard him continuing,

“Give me some years, Harada-san. I would do my best to become a person worth standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Emiko-san. And at that time, I would once again come to ask for your blessing.”

There were imaginary stars in Emiko’s eyes as she gazed at her lover in awe and affection. Seriously, if not for her previous argument, she might have been squealing all over the place.

On the other side, the elder Harada remained silent for a bit before she asked in a heavy tone, “And what if you fail?”

Haruki turned silent to that and his previous smile faltered a bit, even though he expected such a question.

After a brief contemplation, he finally allowed the words he had prepared in such a scenario,

“Then…I will become her househusband and keep on serving Emiko-san for the rest of my life.”

“!!!” (Miyako)

“>.<" (Emiko)
