I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 39

Don’t wait at the entrance gate

Why is she already there?

The fact that my sister, who should have been at home until just a while ago, has already arrived at the amusement park, starts to make me sweat.

“Akira-kun? What’s wrong, are you okay?”

“Eh, yes, it’s nothing.”

It’s partly because I got off the bus to avoid being chased by Yura… But could it be that Sumire took an unexpected route because she couldn’t catch the bus she was supposed to take after returning home once, and the roads were emptier than imagined?

Either way, I’m completely caught between a rock and a hard place. If I go back the way I came, Yura is there, and if I do that, Minatsuki-san will become suspicious.

And if I go forward, Sumire waiting at the entrance gate will discover my triple-booking fiasco.

Wait, am I checkmated here?

“You’re sweating a lot. Are you sure you’re okay?”

Minatsuki-san, wiping my forehead with her expensive-looking handkerchief, whispers with a smile that doesn’t reach her eyes.

“You’ve been acting strange… Is something wrong? Does it have anything to do with the email you just got?”

“No, not at all.”

“Then, show me.”

Her eyes, not smiling, Minatsuki-san speaks with just the corners of her mouth twisted.

“Come on, show me.”

“…If that’s the case, could you show me your cell phone first?”

I decided to take a gamble.

“Eh?”

“I get jealous too, as Minatsuki-san’s boyfriend. If you’re as cute as Minatsuki-san, I’m sure other guys are hitting on you, right?”

Minatsuki-san starts to bleed from her nose without saying a word.

“Are you… jealous?”

Pretending to be jealous.

“C-cute… Ah, Akira-kun… cute, Minatsuki-san is… being… jealous… Eh, eh… c-cute… Is this the result of sleep learning…?”

Stop reaching out unconsciously.

“It’s fine! I’ll prove my innocence! Here, look!”

As I take her smartphone that she offers, Minatsuki-san leans in eagerly.

“See! See!?”

All the icons are images of my face… this feels like madness.

“And the photo folder! See!?”

The “Sleeping Akira-kun” folder (complete with date and time down to the second) is pretty much criminal evidence, isn’t it?

“See?!”

“Ah, I’m so happy.”

Minatsuki-san, getting noisy, I pat her on the head, and she starts breathing heavily, pressing her handkerchief to her nose.

“I see, Minatsuki-san wouldn’t cheat.”

“Of course not! All of Yui belongs to Akira-kun! And all of Akira-kun belongs to Yui, right? There’s no one who can come between us in this world. Yui and Akira-kun were born to be together! We met just to love each other, you know?”

This is too heavy, I feel sick to my stomach!

“Then, since we’re here, shall we take a photo?”

“Photo? What do you mean by――”

I activate the camera on Minatsuki-san’s cell phone, pull her towards me forcefully, and then I hear an abnormal breathing sound from right next to us.

“Hahhahhahhahhahh…”

Is that a dog or something?

“Yui-san, smile~ Say cheese!”

With the sound of the camera shutter, a cute yandere Minatsuki-san’s face turns towards the camera, and we get a two-shot photo.

“Engagement?! Is this… does this mean we’re engaged?!”

Two shots for engagement… I can’t keep up with such a different culture.

“It’s a memento of our date. I’ll send it to my phone too――Ah!”

I pretend to make a mistake and send the freshly taken two-shot photo to “Sumire’s” phone.

“I’m sorry. I accidentally sent it to Sumire as well.”

Why is this person registered as “Enemy (for monitoring)” in someone else’s sister’s contact list?

“It’s fine… It’s okay…”

Minatsuki-san, excited by the two-shot photo, doesn’t care about such things and is fixated on her memories with me――she checks the text of the email that arrived and frowns.

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

Sender: Kiriyama Sumire

Recipient: Minatsuki Yui

Subject:

Text: What does this mean?

Why are you with my brother?

You look like you’re against it, aren’t you?

Are you planning to take him somewhere by force? I’ll report you, you know?

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

As expected, Sumire, who noticed the subtle changes in my expression, sends a complaint-like message.

“It seems like she’s misunderstanding something. She’s always been like that, not listening to others… I’ll send her an email to clear up the misunderstanding.

Don’t worry, please don’t be so upset.”

I gently embrace Minatsuki-san――and in this position, where there’s no way she can see the email, I start typing an email using Maria’s cell phone.

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

Sender: Maria Kinugasa

Recipient: Akira Kiriyama

Subject:

Text: Send “help me” to Sumire right now.

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

A few seconds later, an email arrives.

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

Sender: Kiriyama Sumire

Recipient: Kiriyama Akira

Subject:

Text: Onii-chan, where are you right now!?

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

“It’s no use. She won’t listen at all.”

“Sumire-chan is pitiful… She can’t admit defeat even though she can’t track our location anymore… How sad…”

Minatsuki-san chuckles on my shoulder.

“Akira-kun belongs to Yui.”

Sumire, you’re smart, so you should be able to deduce from that two-shot photo that Minatsuki-san and I are on a bus and pick up a list of “currently operating buses”… But with that information alone, it’s practically impossible to pinpoint which bus we’re on.

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

Sender: Kinugasa Maria

Recipient: Kiriyama Sumire

Text: I’m sorry about earlier.

By the way, is your brother going on a date with Minatsuki Yui?

They were on the bus to the station together, weren’t they?

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

Sorry Sumire, but I need you to backtrack a bit.
