I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 30

“A Single Survival Date”

“Let’s go on the offensive.”

“Huh?”

After school, while Yura was waiting in the classroom, I relayed this to Maria, my accomplice.

“We can’t just keep playing defense. It’s time for us to take action.”

“Wha-, what do you mean by ‘taking action’—”

“We’re going to set Sumire against Yura.”

“Wha-, What!?”

I covered Maria’s mouth as she started to shout. She stared at me, her eyes bright red as she mumbled her words.

“Listen, think about it. Is our ultimate goal just to survive the after-school date? That’s not it, right? If we just try to get by as we’ve been doing so far, the only thing waiting for us is certainly a bad ending.”

“But, but why, why would you want to set your sister against Yura-senpai!?”

“Sumire could get us amusement park tickets.”

“… What?”

In response to Maria’s bewildered reaction, I whispered softly.

“When I mentioned that I wanted a ‘premium game’ that was hardly available in the market… She managed to get it in just ‘three days.’ Probably, Sumire could do it.”

“So, so what, you… are you…? Ah.”

I responded with a smile.

“I’m thinking of going on an amusement park date with all three of them.”

Maria, skillfully rolling her eyes, started to hurl semi-coherent criticisms at me, asking if I had “gone crazy.”

“Is there any other way to get the tickets? Besides, the pre-opening of the amusement park is for a week… If we manage the dates with the three of them without any overlap, we can get through the amusement park date without any major issues.

But―”

“1 in 8 chance.”

I nod in agreement.

“It takes about 30 minutes by bus to the local amusement park. Given that, it’s inevitable that they would want to enjoy a whole day there, preferably on a Saturday or Sunday.”

Maria, looking pale, turns to me with a forced smile that seems to say ‘good luck with that’.

“They’ll most likely choose either Saturday or Sunday. That means there’s a 1 in 8 chance that the dates with the three of them will overlap.”

“That’s why we need to pit Sumire against Yura.”

“What do you mean?”

I start to explain, using the information only a brother like me could know about Sumire.

“Listen, according to my research, the Atropos Park we’re going to visit for its pre-opening had two types of premium tickets for limited sale. One is the ‘Single Ticket,’ which allows only one person to enter. The other is the ‘Pair Ticket,’ which allows entry for two people. Given Sumire’s personality, if I say I ‘want it,’ she’ll almost certainly get the ‘Pair Ticket.’

If that happens―”

“Ah…!”

Maria’s eyes widen in astonishment as she looks straight at me.

“That’s right. If we end up on the 1 in 8 route, me, already confirmed to enter with Minatsuki-san due to the pair ticket she snatched, will inevitably have to re-enter with Sumire… As a result, Yura won’t be able to enter the park.”

With Minatsuki-san already having snatched the amusement park pair ticket, there’s no way to deceive her. Due to the nature of the pair ticket, which only allows entry for two, there’s no other way for me but to enter with Minatsuki-san.

“So, are you saying that…”

“Yes, that’s right.”

With a determined gaze, I pierce through Maria’s eyes.

“We’ll get Sumire and Yura to enter together. Moreover, we’ll make them keep it a secret from each other that they are ‘dating me’.”

“That’s impossible!?”

I totally agree!!

“But, if you think about it―”

“Ah, you noticed. If Sumire gets the pair ticket and the dates with the three don’t fall on the same day, we’re finished.”

Let’s lay it out.

Assuming that one of the three is placed on either Saturday or Sunday, it’s easy to understand if we make a distribution. Combinations can only be formed within the same group, keeping in mind that the pair ticket can only be used by two people.

“Given that, let’s assume that Minatsuki Yui can only be paired with me, and the only people who have the pair tickets are Minatsuki Yui and Kiriyama Sumire.

Pattern 1

Saturday: Minatsuki Yui
→ (Minatsuki Yui, Kiriyama Akira)

Sunday: Kiriyama Sumire, Kinugasa Yura
→ (Kiriyama Sumire, Kiriyama Akira)
or (Kinugasa Yura, Kiriyama Akira)
or (Kiriyama Sumire, Kinugasa Yura)

The above pairs are established but someone is inevitably left out each time so it’s a dead end.

Pattern 2

Saturday: Minatsuki Yui, Kiriyama Sumire
→ (Minatsuki Yui, Kiriyama Akira) and (Kiriyama Sumire, Kiriyama Akira)

Sunday: Kinugasa Yura
→ Lack of tickets result in failure.

Even though the above pairs can be achieved, it’s a dead end as Kinugasa Yura cannot enter due to a lack of tickets.

Pattern 3

Saturday: Minatsuki Yui, Kinugasa Yura
→ (Minatsuki Yui, Kiriyama Akira)

Sunday: Kiriyama Sumire
→ (Kiriyama Sumire, Kiriyama Akira)

The above pairs are made but it’s a dead end as Kinugasa Yura cannot enter due to a lack of tickets.

The only way to avoid these dead-end…
