A Boy Who Wants to Create a Yandere Harem and The Yandere Girls Who Want to Monopolize Him - Chapter 7

I won’t forgive you if you break your promise

　It was that night.

　As I was trying to sleep soundly in my bed, there was a knock at my door.

“Come in, Tsuyuri.”

“Exc… excuse me, I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

　Tsuyuri, dressed in her pajamas, enters the room awkwardly.

“What’s wrong? “

“Um, well… I-I’m lying on the bed alone, and, uh, you know…”

　Tsuyuri’s face turns red, and she looks flustered.

“Anxious? “

“Yes! Anxious, that’s why…”

“Shall I read something for you?”

“No, I’m not a kid! Err, umm, uh…”

　Hmm, I got it.

“So what do you want me to do? If you’re lonely about being alone, how about sleeping together? “

　When I said it as a joke, Tsuyuri’s face turned even redder, and she nodded her head.

　…I see. That’s bold of you.

　I am impressed.

“Okay, then. I’ll do my best not to make you feel lonely. Come here.”

“Ah, yeah…

　Tsuyuri walks robotically over to my bed.

　Then she nervously slips into the space I’ve opened for her under the covers.

“Don’t look at me…! T-turn around.”

“Okay. I’ll do it this way. “

　I followed her instruction and faced the wall.

　Tsuyuri is right on my back.

　I can feel her skin pressed against mine.

“…Tsuyuri? “

“Shh, be quiet… keep quiet… “

　I say nothing.

　Tsuyuri is silent, too.

　…I think this means that I should go to bed like this.

　By the way, I’m a boy, too. I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep properly today! (smh).

　While I was thinking about such an absurd thing, Tsuyuri asked me in a quiet voice.

“Hey…Have you heard about my family background? “

“Yes, I have heard about it.”

“I see… What did you think about that?”

“You ask hard questions.”

　When I said that, “I guess so,” Tsuyuri replied and continued.

“…I don’t really want to be happy, not anymore. Uh, well, It’s not that I don’t want to have a happy family, I just don’t want people to think that I was pitiful or something like that…”

　’You don’t even understand what I’m talking about, do you?’ Says Tsuyuri.

“Everyone acts as if they understand me and my feelings. They simply think I’m a sad and pitiful little girl. They don’t know a bit about the anxiety and the heartache of being passed around.”

　’Because if they did, they wouldn’t have done what they did.’

　Tsuyuri muttered as if she was trying to squeeze out words.

“Don’t treat me weirdly like I’m a tumor. Don’t push me away by saying it’s too difficult. Don’t leave me. Just… don’t leave me alone.”

“Okay…”

“Don’t call me a reaper. Don’t call me the plague. Not my fault. It’s not my fault that people who became my father and mother split up or died…! “

” …alright.”

　Tsuyuri clung to the back of my clothes and sobbed.

“I don’t have a place to belong. I’m always the new student, always the stepdaughter of someone. I’m a loser who can’t make friends because I keep changing schools. I’m a stepdaughter, so I don’t have anyone I can consider family.”

“……”

　She finally ran out of words.

　I guess she has lived a life without a place to belong.

　I have experienced the loss of a parent. So I can imagine the pain.

　But I can’t pretend to fully understand how lonely she must have been.

“Hey… you said you would be a safe place for me, right?”

　Tsuyuri confirms in a low voice.

“Yeah, I said that.”

“Does that mean you’ll take care of me? You won’t make me feel lonely and will always be there for me… Is that what you’re saying? “

　I feel a shiver run down my spine at her reminder confirmation.

　This is it. It’s coming! What I’ve been looking for.

“If that’s what you want, I’ll work hard for it.”

“Not work hard, no.”

　The hand on my back, holding the clothes, squeezes tight.

“Promise me. If you’re going to be my family, you must put me first. Look only at me, and don’t make me lonely. Otherwise, I won’t forgive you.”

“Yeah, okay. I promise. I’ll never let Tsuyuri get lonely… is that okay? “

“…turn around.”

“Okay.”

　I turn over and look back at her.

　Tsuyuri is staring up at me with deep eyes.

“Are you really going to promise me? Really, serious? …I’m aware that I’m asking for troublesome things too, you know? If you’re not sure, then… even now, refuse me.”

“How can I not make a promise in front of Tsuyuri who looks like she’s about to cry? Are you an idiot?”

　I gently hug Tsuyuri.

　Tsuyuri’s eyes became more tearful.

“…you promised. I won’t forgive you if you break your promise.”

“Yes.”

“If you break it, I don’t know what I’ll do. Really, that’s why…”

“Yeah. That’s what I want.”

” …Are you really going to promise me? “

“Yeah, I promise.”

“Really, are you serious? “

　I can’t stand this hassle anymore.

“I’m serious. I promise, I won’t let Tsuyuri get lonely. If Tsuyuri gets lonely, I don’t care what you do. I swear.”

“…okay. Promise.”

　Tsuyuri moves her body to a position where she is closer to me.

“Nice to meet you…O, onī-chan.”

　Tsuyuri said, and then, perhaps embarrassed by herself, she nuzzled her face into my chest.

　Ah, this is great. Oh, my God.

　God, you are the real deal.

　Thanks to you, I got a yandere little sister in just one day…

“I’m so moved I’m going to cry… “

“Fufu…exaggeration “

　Tsuyuri looks up at me with her eyes sticking out of her head while she’s still clinging to me.

　And when I look back at her, she shyly and completely plunges her face into my chest again.

　What is this cuteness?

　I feel like I’m about to be purified, and I gently hug Tsuyuri and fall asleep.
