I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 40

I don’t want to ride the Ferris wheel.

In the park at dusk, I was on a see-saw with Maria.

“On the day of the amusement park date, you’re supposed to support me… but since we can’t get tickets, it’s impossible for you to be there.”

“That makes sense… So what am I supposed to do?”

Every time the see-saw creaked, I couldn’t help but notice her unnecessarily slender waist.

“I’ve looked into Atropos Park, and during the pre-opening, ‘live cameras’ seem to be set up in front of each attraction. They plan to livestream the bustle of each attraction on their website during that period.

I want you to keep an eye on the yanderes’ movements through that livestream.”

“It’s getting more and more like spy work.”

Light blue, huh? (tln : FFS MC please stop ogling at Maria undergarment)

“Also, schedule management. If we just go around the attractions without thinking, there’s a high chance of encountering them. So, on the day, I plan to naturally lead the yanderes to the attractions we’ve predetermined and construct a route.”

The moment my seat rose, I slid the schedule across the see-saw, and Maria, in her haste, bent down to show off her light blue underneath her shirt.

“Do you like light blue?”

“Like light blue, what do you mean――”

Finally catching on, Maria’s face turned bright red as she covered the chest of her loose sweatshirt with both hands.

“Jerk!! Pervert!!”

“Relax. The world isn’t interested in a chest that’s one-third the size of Yura’s.”

“Don’t make my lack of chest a world issue!!”

Should I circulate a notice and make it a local issue?

“You usually dress like a gyaru, so why not wear a more stylish bra? Shall I buy you one next time?”

“I’ll kill you… I’ll seriously kill you…!”

This light murderous intent, it’s soothing~!

“Well, that’s the deal, so I’m counting on you to follow that schedule. Don’t contact me from your end. I’ll get in touch with you when moving from one yandere to another.”

“I get that, but… what’s with this red writing that says ‘Do not ride the Ferris wheel under any circumstances’?”

Covering her chest with one arm, Maria diligently moved the see-saw up and down as she showed me the schedule and tilted her head in confusion.

“Closed-room murder case.”

“Eh?”

“The Ferris wheel is a confined space. Plus, it’s just the two of us, out of sight of others… It’s not an overstatement to say it’s the place where ‘accidents’ are most likely to occur. That’s why it’s a strict rule not to ride the Ferris wheel under any circumstances.”

“But, this schedule, at the very end――”

I put my palm up to signal “wait” to Maria.

“That’s the last resort. If everything goes well, it won’t come down to the ‘finale’ as planned in that schedule.”

“Are you sane?”

“As sane as one can be.”

Maria looked worried and clasped her hands in front of her chest as if in prayer.

“…You’re going to come back, right?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, stop it.”

Don’t set up a death flag for just an amusement park date.

“Well, I can’t imagine you dying anyway.

So, to start with, I’m dealing with Minatsuki Yui, and the attraction we’re going to is the ‘Merry-Go-Round’?”

“Yeah, that’s right. There shouldn’t be any problems guiding her there. She won’t outright say she wants to ride the Ferris wheel from the start.”

“The time to be cautious is from after noon to evening… when it’s getting close to time to go home, right?”

“That’s right.”

I nodded, recalling the schedule I had made and ensuring there were no contradictions.

“Akira-kun.”

Having entered the amusement park, after I sent Sumire a message saying “I somehow made it out. I’m on my way to the park now,” Minatsuki-san pointed at an attraction with a smile―― and to my horror, my smile stiffened.

“Shall we start with the ‘Ferris Wheel’?”

Eh, what’s going on here?
