I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 27

Shoe Locker Conflict

In a split-second decision, I slipped my hand into my pocket and dialed Yura’s number.

I confirmed she skeptically picked up her cell phone, then quickly hung up and sent a preset text message, preparing for any eventuality.

==============================
Sender: Kiriyama Akira
Recipient: Kinugasa Yura
Subject:
Message: I want to go on a date today!

===============================

“I’m so happy to be going on a date with Yui!”
“Ah, Akira, you’re so loud… you dummy…”

Minatsuki-san’s attention was skillfully drawn to me with just the right amount of body contact and conversation, while simultaneously managing Yura.

If these two meet here, it’ll definitely turn into a battleground!! While leading Yura with the message, I have no choice but to keep Minatsuki-san’s attention on me!!

=======================

Sender: Kiritani Akira

Recipient: Kinugasa Yura

Subject:

Message: Let’s go after school! I need to talk to you! Go to the shoe lockers right now!

=======================

Yura’s eyes sparkled brightly, and through the door, she gripped her cell phone tightly, nodding vigorously several times.

=======================
Sender: Kinugasa Yura

Recipient: Kiritani Akira

Subject:

Message: Akira-sama, I love you!
=======================

Just go away already!!

“Akira? You’re sweating, what’s— your pocket.”

Minatsuki-san’s tone shifted, sending a chill down my spine. Her shadowed eyes slowly reached towards my pants pocket— and I untied the temporary knot, letting my phone fall through the hole in my pocket to the ground.

“Whoa!”

Pretending to be startled, I backed away, bumping into a desk to mask the sound of my phone hitting the floor, while simultaneously sliding the phone behind me with my feet.

“Akira, are you okay? I-I’m sorry, Yui was just concerned about you keeping your hand in your pocket…”

“It’s okay, Yui. I was just a bit startled.

Ah!”

“Eh?”

The moment Minatsuki-san turned towards the door, I crouched down, reached back, and slipped my phone into the opposite pocket.

“Yui, look carefully… That…!”

“What’s wrong? Is that girl there? Don’t worry, Akira, Yui will protect you for life.”

Minatsuki Yui herself protects me.

“Sorry, it was just a misunderstanding.”

“That’s good then.”

Having regained my composure, I assured her, and Minatsuki-san seemed relieved, as if she had no doubts about me.

“Shall we finish cleaning up then?”

“Yes, thank you.”

It would take 1-2 minutes to get to the shoe lockers. There was enough time before Yura arrived, and I could avoid any incidents by sending a preset message at the right time during homeroom.

This should keep things under control for now— but then I saw Yura, breathless and flushed, reaching for the classroom door, and I silently brought my phone to my ear.

“Eh? Akira-kun?”

“I meant for you to wait at the shoe lockers!! I didn’t say to go there and come back right away!!”

I yelled loud enough for the sound to carry beyond the door. Minatsuki-san threw me a suspicious glance, and my classmates sent looks that seemed to say, “Kiriyama again?”

Yura, who had been about to take out her cell phone, dashed down the hallway like a loyal dog upon hearing my shout.

“Akira, what was that just now?”

“Ah, sorry about that. It was my mother. She came to drop off my lunchbox at the shoe lockers, but… due to a misunderstanding in our conversation, she went back home.”

“Oh, is that so? Is she coming back to the shoe lockers then? It would be nice to greet her—”

I forcefully turned her around by her shoulders, and Minatsuki-san, confused, blushed and turned away.

“In the classroom… not good… no…”

Even outside the classroom, you’re still a “no.”

“Let’s save such things for a proper time. Meeting my mother at the shoe lockers for the first time doesn’t seem appropriate, does it?”

“Yeah, you’re right…”

Panic!! Be flustered forever!!

“Home room is starting, everyone, take your seats~”

Perfect timing, Unya-sensei! I love you!!

“Huh? kiriyama, what’s with that seat? Don’t tell me a new one has come up?”

I kind of like the way you treat yanderes like ghosts.

“No, just everyday life. Sorry, I’m still cleaning up, so please start without me.”

“If it gets too much, talk to me, okay? Alright, let’s start.”

As home room began, I finally caught my breath.

“Hello? Mom? Yeah, yeah… Oh, really! I accidentally took onii-chan’s lunchbox!”

Sumire, who had deliberately swiped her brother’s lunchbox, cheerfully chatted with her real mother.

“Eh? My brother should have taken his lunchbox? Ahaha! That one is empty! My bad! Yes, it’s fine. Yes, yes.”

She said with a bright smile.

“I’m delivering onii-chan’s lunchbox right now. Yes, the teacher gave me permission, so it’s no problem.”

Naturally, no teacher would let a middle school student go out alone… even if the first period was self-study.

“I wonder if onii-chan will be happy when I arrive?”

Skipping along, Sumire headed towards the shoe lockers where Yura was waiting.
