A Boy Who Wants to Create a Yandere Harem and The Yandere Girls Who Want to Monopolize Him - Chapter 20

Yui

　Yui says that her parents abused her.

“As you saw before, my room is…”

　It’s a very small room. The windows were framed shut, and the locks were outside. There was no way out.

“I was always locked in that room, told to just study. At my old school, I wasn’t allowed to participate in extracurricular activities, and when I came home, I had to study over and over.”

　She says her parents were very restrictive.

“My father is a doctor, and he wanted me to follow his footsteps… because they didn’t have a boy. And you know, if I score less than 95 on a test, he locked me in that room.”

　However──, Yui continues.

“My mother wanted me to be a girl in a box (箱入り娘). That’s why I had to learn brides’ lessons… I didn’t really mind those lessons compared to her, though. I personally disliked my mother more.”

(箱入り娘, A type of young lady who was raised in a home without being exposed to other people as much as possible.)

　She said her father was strict and would not allow her any freedom, and her mother would throw a tantrum if she did not do even one thing the way she wanted.

“They were like that, so they fought and fought over everything. Their fights are so loud. I was in my room all the time shaking, [ don’t come, don’t come ].”

　──But one day, something happened.

“My mom, she stabbed him, my dad.”

　──Once she got the momentum, she couldn’t stop, and Yui’s mother stabbed her father again and again.

“But he was also very stubborn. He would grab a nearby plate or kitchenware and attacks her precisely. He’s a doctor, after all. Even though father had more than a dozen stab wounds, but mother, with only five wounds, was more battered and in tatters.”

　──The result, I don’t need to tell you.

“They’re both dead…they’re idiots, aren’t they? They were both smart people, yet at the same time really stupid.”

　Yui said with tears streaming down her face.

　We sat in the living room of her house, the only place she could live. There we were, listening to this story solemnly.

“…I see.”

“Yeah… I was, you know, so scared… but I thought it was an opportunity. I’ve always been pushed around by the two of them. I thought I couldn’t miss this opportunity.”

“Opportunity? “

　Yui replies to Tsuyuri’s question.

“An opportunity to meet Akira-kun again.”

　Yui says that her parents were very selfish in changing schools in the past.

“It’s really out of the blue. They told me to attend a prestigious all-girls school in a neighboring town with an integrated elementary, junior high, and high school. They said it has a higher deviation score… I think it was probably a backdoor entrance.”

“So there was such a secret behind your transfer.”

“Yeah, ahaha…It’s ridiculous, isn’t it, Akira-kun? That’s why we’re separated you know? “

　Yui’s tears did not stop.

“Fortunately, we had a lot of money. Father keeps track of his accounts with his cellphone, and I remembered the PIN number for his phone. I also have his fingerprints which I skinned off… then I did my best to find out about the transfer procedures, studied hard to pass the transfer exam, and then I transferred to a new school.”

“That’s a tremendous effort.”

“…fufu, right? Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to be alone with Akira-kun because of an annoying bug.”

“Bleeー.”

　Tsuyuri sticks her tongue out at Yui’s provocation. Yui was annoyed but didn’t press her any further.

“So, where are the bodies of your parents? I mean the flesh, not bones.”

“…I did my best. I dismantled them, searched, and found a chemical that looked like it from my father’s hospital, dissolved it a little at a time, and poured it down the drain. I haven’t finished… all of it yet, so the rest is in the freezer.”

“I see. What about the bones? “

“I thought it was pitiful to destroy everything, I felt sorry for them… Since they didn’t get along with each other in life, I thought it would be nice if they could sleep together after their deaths.”

“Yui…you’re kind. How can you care for two people who abused your entire life like that?”

“u…. “

　Yui shakes her head and can’t say anything. Her whole body is trembling, as helpless as a newborn fawn.

　I extend my hand.

“Come here.”

“Akira, kun…! “

　Inside my chest, Yui started to cry. She’s crying, her voice rising, tears spilling down her cheeks.

” …… “

　Tsuyuri turned away from me and didn’t say anything.

　Tsuyuri is also very kind, I think.

　She seems to be willing to lend me to Yui, at least for such a time as this.

“I’ll hug you until you’re satisfied later, Tsuyuri.”

“Why do you assume that I want it…! B-but, please…”

“Okay. Thank you for your patience.”

” ……huftt. “

　And then, I hug Yui without any worries.

“It’s been really hard for you. It’s not a darkness that anyone can normally carry alone… you have endured it well. “

“Um, It was hard…! I was worried… What if the police find out I dumped the body? What if my father’s money ran out? “

“Yes… You did a great job. You can rest easy now. I’m right here with you from now on.”

“Yeah…! “

　Yui is crying like a baby in my chest.

　Then Tsuyuri said.

“So, what are you going to do now? For the time being, I understand that everything is fine at this moment. But the fact that you will be in poverty doesn’t change.”

“…it is a slow and steady situation. Tsuyuri-chan, aren’t you going to tell the police about me? “

“Eh?”

　Silence. Tsuyuri is tilting her head.

　Yui explained.

“Well, you know… Tsuyuri-chan wants to get rid of me, right? 　To monopolize Akira-kun.”

“That’s right. Huh, what are you trying to say? “

“What I’m saying is, just mentioning my parents’ death would get me institutionalized at the very least, which is similar to transferring to another school, and in turn, if you reported the body dumping, I would be――”

　To this explanation, Tsuyuri says

“Ah, that’s what you mean. No, I don’t want to. I don’t want to attack while leaving variable.”

“…what do you mean? ” “

“You can get out of the institution, or maybe after you get out of juvenile detention, you will take revenge on us. It would be terrible if you stabbed me and Onī-chan a few years later when we were living happily ever after.”

“…I see.”

　Watching from the sidelines… I think it’s interesting that they’re still thinking rationally, even though revenge or killing is usually an option.

“…I mean, I don’t think killing is a means to an end unless there’s a super great chance. I think it’s very hard to dispose of the corpse after killing someone.”

“Ah, yeah. It’s a lot of work. “

“When I heard that calm reply, I was scared, for real…”

　Tsuyuri was a bit taken aback by Yui’s tone.

　[You’re being unreasonable…] Yui said in dejection.

　Boom-

　Then, there was a flash of light. Immediately after, there is a loud roar.

“Hyaai!”

“Kyaah!”

　They both scream.

　It is a lightning strike. I look outside, and it’s raining very hard.

“I don’t think I can go home today. Yui, can I stay here?”

“Uh? Yes, it’s fine but… Akira-kun, are you sure? In a house like this where there are dead people.”

“Yes. It’s fine ’cause I can beat a ghost.”

“Eh? “

“I don’t want to hear about Onī-chan’s crazy stories anymore…”

　Yui widened her eyes at my response, and Tsuyuri replied listlessly.
