I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 35

The Beginning of the War (Date)

On the morning when the war (date) begins – the clear air was impressive.

“Sumire has left the house.”

“Understood. Proceed as planned.”

After finishing my call with Maria and heading to the meeting place, there was an unusual “line” at the target bus stop.

“Akira-kun.”

Clad in a spring-like cardigan over her clothing, Minatsuki was wearing a peach-colored skirt, her exquisite legs, which could be exhibited in an art museum, were covered in black tights and she was wearing boots.

“I’m… I’m nervous because it’s our first date…”

She murmured shyly while covering her mouth with her hand.

“I… I arrived too early…”

However, what’s frightening is that it’s not just men who are drawn to Minatsuki, who’s standing at the back of the line. There are also high school girls who are clearly there for her, holding up their smartphones and squealing in excitement as if they were watching a live performance of a celebrity.

What’s even more terrifying is that even I, who am standing here, am deluded into thinking that she is “cute”. Just like the men and women of all ages who are lined up behind her, even though they have no intention of getting on the bus, I feel as if I’m being drawn in and falling in love at first sight… She’s truly a monster of charm.

“Ah, Akira-kun.”

She turns her eyes away bashfully and tints her cheeks.

“Say… say something…”

That’s…dangerous… I’m going to fall in love instantly…

“How early did you arrive?”

“12 hours ago.”

Good!! I regained my sanity!

“Hey, you.”

A blond man with a flashy vibe, who was standing behind Minatsuki, suddenly started talking to her while glancing at her from time to time.

“Sorry, but can you line up properly?”

“Ah, yes. I’m sorry.”

Since what he’s saying is reasonable, I was about to go to the back of the line when – a whiff of shampoos wafts by, and Minatsuki intertwines her fingers with mine.

“Shall we go?”

With just a simple walk, she captures the gaze of everyone forming the line.

“……Akira-kun, your fingers are thin, aren’t they?”

She carefully traces my fingers with her slender fingertips as if to confirm it… when I lift my face, her bewitching eyes are smiling.

“All of this, is Yui’s… from the base of your palm to the tip of your nails… everything is Yui’s… don’t let anyone or anything touch them… Akira-kun’s beautiful fingers… don’t let anyone but Yui touch them…”

If they see us holding hands, I feel like they’ll cut off my hand!

“Ahaha! Of course, Yui!”

“……Don’t betray me, okay?”

As my heart grows colder, her eyeballs, trying to peek into my depths, are dark and remind me of the abyss.

“Of course!”

I’m fully intending to betray you!!

“Let’s enjoy today’s date…”

The “warning sound” set specifically for Maria ringtones, I wave at Minatsuki, who’s coming closer, with a smile saying “I’m fine,” and return my attention to Maria.

“Your sister… she’s coming back!! She’s heading back to the house!”

“…As expected.”

Even with the screaming sound that pierces my right ear, I calmly respond.

“You’re not supposed to be ‘out of the house’ yet, there’s less than an hour left until the meeting time!”

“Calm down. It’s only natural for Sumire to have doubts about this date. She heard that I conveniently got a single ticket, and she wouldn’t be without any doubts. She’s not that kind of girl.”

“Then, then, you have some kind of countermeasure, right?”

“No, I fell asleep while thinking about it, so I have nothing.”

“Don’t mess with me!!”

I take the phone away from my ear and cover the call hole to trap the yelling voice.

“I can’t move during my meeting with Minatsuki and I have to get on the bus that’s coming in a few minutes. So, you stop her.”

“Ho, how am I supposed to stop her!?”

After a few seconds of thought, I came up with an answer.

“…Smack her down?”

“Die!! Really, die!!”

“Are you okay, Akira-kun?”

I wave at Minatsuki, who’s coming closer, with a smile saying “I’m fine,” and return my consciousness to Maria.

“I’m sorry. It seems my parents misunderstood that I left something behind.”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

Minatsuki gently takes my hand.

“We might have a scary time (at the attractions) today.”

“I suppose. It seems like we’ll have a scary time (with the yandere).”

Can I still smile properly now… Someone please tell me.

“Onii-chan is suspicious.”

Sumire thinks so because not only did Onii-chan conveniently get a single ticket, but also because “Kinugasa Yura,” who was obsessively paranoid about Onii-chan, stopped complaining right after talking with him.

That’s why Sumire, who was supposed to meet at the site an hour later, tried to get off the bus on the way back to the vicinity of her home to catch her brother off guard…

“Hi there~”

“…Huh?”

She ran into Maria Kinugasa, who had accompanied them on their after-school date the day before.
