Volume 1 - CH 7

The next day, I woke up feeling refreshed.

When was the last time I woke up feeling so refreshed?

Maybe it is because I got away from Sarasa-san, or maybe it was because of Hishinuma-san's curry.

Perhaps Hishinuma-san's curry has a healing effect on me. Just like my mom’s.

"Well, let's get going again today.”

My mood is different from the other day, and I headed for the college with light steps.

Perhaps it was because of Kurusu-san that I am in such a good mood.

"Whoa? Speaking of the devil!...”

On the way to the college, I saw Kurusu-san walking slowly behind me. I greeted her with a pat on the shoulder.

She looked unfazed and turned her head slowly to look at me.

Her face was even more lethargic than ever.

"Ah, Good morning, Kakeru-kun."

"Hey, Is something wrong with you”

"...Did you forget that I’m weak in the mornings?”

Kurusu-san then looks at me with a grudge.

Oh, that's right.

She is very weak in the morning. It’s so bad that she had to set an alarm timer for every five minutes to wake her up.

"I'm sorry, I forgot.”

"Don’t sweat it. I envy you being so energetic in the morning.”

For some reason, she shifted her gaze to my lower body and said it.

This girl!

Though she's weak in the morning, she has been making ridiculous jokes.

Kurusu Moine… You are a horrible girl.

"That's not the point. Do you have any plans after today's lecture?"

"No. I don't have a part-time job today, and I don't have anything special to do. What's wrong?”

"Hey, did you forget my promise yesterday? I promised to buy you a Matcha parfait as thanks.”

"Matcha parfait! That's right!”

Perhaps remembering yesterday's promise, Kurusu-san's face suddenly became cheerful.

Hey, didn’t you say you’re weak in the mornings?

"Let's go! Let's go right now!”

"Calm down, Kurusu-san. What about the lecture?”

"There's no way I will remain calm about this! Lectures? Let’s skip it for today!”

"Hey! Wait!”

She became unreasonably happy.

“Eh? Was it my fault?”

Kurusu-san took me by the hand and we were about to leave the place. But suddenly, the atmosphere became tense and my back started to sweat profusely.

"... Shoryu..."

"...!"

What the heck, I've never experienced such a tense atmosphere till now.

A low, heavy voice called out to me.

I recognize this voice but I don’t like it.

It's Sarasa-san. She's right behind me.

But I can't turn around.

After all, I've rejected her and cut ties with her.

We're strangers now. That's what I told her.

So I'm not going to turn around and I'm not obligated to respond.

"Hey.., Shoryu.-kun..."

However, hearing her voice made me feel really uncomfortable.

Her voice was even colder than last time I had heard, but it sounded weak somehow.

But I still didn't turn around! And it seems that Kurusu-san was still unaware of her presence so she continued to pull me along.

“Wait for moment, Kurusu-san”

"Whoa!"

So, I put my strength in my arm, forcing her to stop in her tracks.

She then turned around to complain.

"What are you doing? Let’s go to...huh"

She froze and her strong voice became weakened a bit.

It's because the girl in front of me was Sarasa-san, but she’s not the Sarasa-san we knew.

"Haha…, you know I missed you so much, I’m pretty sure you did too, Shoryu..."

A chill runs down my spine at the sight of the ghostly figure of her.

Her bangs are hanging disheveled, and her eyes are red and bloodshot.

She was neither the gentle and calm girl I had seen before.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of madness through her.

She looked like a mentally ill person or ....a yandere.

While I was dumbfounded, Sarasa-san jumped into my chest.

"Wait, what are you...doing?"

Ignoring my words, she buried her face in my chest and sniffed me like a dog.

In all honesty, this feels disgusting.

When I was dumbfounded, Kurusu-san, who was aware of the situation, spoke to Sarasa-san in an angry tone.

"Hey, ex-girlfriend! What are you doing? Get away from him immediately!”

Reacting to the angry voice, Sarasa-san narrowed her eyes and shifted her gaze towards Kurusu-san, then turned her face towards me again.

Needless to say, her face was filled with anger.

"Nee, Shoryu-kun...? Where are you going with this woman?"

"That's none of your business!"

"It is. I can't believe you're going somewhere holding hands with another woman when I'm there. I can’t believe you! Why are you cheating on me..?

"Eh? What do you mean, cheating on you? We broke up already!”

"What are you talking about? We're going to be together forever, aren't we? That's what we swore…. I love you so much. ...That's why this is cheating..."

"No, We broke u..."

"We're not breaking up! I'm not allowing it! So this is cheating! Talking to other women! Touching other women! Going somewhere with other women other than me! It’s considered cheating”

Sarasa-san interrupted my words and shouted wildly.

I've never seen her like this before, and both Kurusu-san and I were too stunned to say anything back.

"I'm going to lose my mind. I think my heart is going to break!. I didn't want to believe that the man I love was cheating on me with another woman. ...Oh, so that's what you meant...You tried to break up with me so you could cheat on me with that woman?”

"Eh? That's not true!”

"Shut up! I can't forgive you, I can't forgive you, I can't forgive you,....!”

Sarasa-san shouted the same thing as if she was crazy.

No, maybe she's already crazy.

Because I can no longer see the light in her eyes at all, they were cloudy as if they were filled with darkness.

"Then, if I get rid of the woman here, you will come back to me, won’t you? No, I'm sure. But first I have to punish you for cheating on me..."

“"Eheee!"”

Kurusu-san's and my voice overlapped together at Sarasa-san’s crazy remark.

This woman is dangerous!

I thought she might be mentally ill or a yandere, but it's definitely the latter.

If this continues, Kurusu-san and I will be in danger.

Feeling that way, I shook off Sarasa-san immediately and grabbed Kurusu's hand, and ran.

“?.. Kakeru-kun!”

"Aaah! You cheated on me again! I can't forgive you, I can't forgive you, I can't forgive you! I'm going to punish you, even more, Shouryuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Wait for me!”

Shit! How did this happen?

I broke up with her because I didn't like her cold attitude, but now she's turned into a yandere and is chasing me!

This is the epic moment when Tsundere evolved into Yandere!

Damn, if it's evolution, I should be able to stop it by hitting the stop button repeatedly.!... This is no time to joke about this.

I wanted to attend a lecture today to score more marks but now is not the time to think about that.

If I get caught, she will kill me!

That's what my instincts were telling me.

That's why I ran away from her as fast as I could to escape from Sarasa-san.
