I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 46

Akira, Kagebunshin

“It looks like him, but it’s not my brother.”

The faces of the men with the same height and build, wearing similar clothes to Akira, were so similar to Akira’s that it was no exaggeration to say they were his spitting images.

“But when I get closer, there’s a seam.

Is this a mask?”

Although it made her sick to her stomach to speak with anyone other than Akira, Sumire reluctantly approached one of the imposters and asked about the situation.

“Uh, well, I got it from a cute girl with one eye hidden. She said if I wore this, happiness would come.”

As expected, it’s Kinugasa-senpai.

Sumire ignored the young man who invited her to a nearby delicious restaurant and said, “I-If you’d like…” She then tried to use her proud sense of smell to distinguish her brother.

“The perfume… All the impostors are wearing the perfume… Come to think of it, my brother said it was popular… If that’s the case, the one who isn’t wearing the perfume should be my brother…”

As Sumire began to show symptoms of Akira deficiency, she became aware of her increasing panic. She sat down on a bench, biting her nails.

“There were children wearing the masks distributed by Kinugasa-senpai earlier, and there’s no doubt that the masks she distributed are circulating in the park… She’s doing something unnecessary… Why hasn’t she left yet?”

While gazing at the impending dusk, Sumire started thinking about how to secure her brother.

“First of all, why isn’t onii-chan coming to the meeting place…? There’s no reply to my emails or phone calls… And then, conveniently, the impostors of onii-chan started appearing… It’s hard to believe they’re unrelated…”

Attracted by the scent of the perfume worn by the impostors, she looked up to see a long-haired woman in a pure white dress passing in front of her.

“Kinugasa-senpai?”

For a moment, she thought so, but upon closer inspection, it was different.

Unlike the slender girl with an unimpressive figure, this woman had a somewhat sturdy build.

“It’s just the clothes and hairstyle that are similar.”

Sumire sat back down and sighed.

“For now, I can tell if it’s my brother by the smell, so I have no choice but to check each one individually. If I make contact with Kinugasa-senpai, my date with my brother might be exposed.”

Holding the handkerchief she had stolen from her brother to her nose, she calmed her breathing and then got up to take action.

“…They haven’t noticed, have they?”

Dressed in Yura’s white dress and wig, I, disguised as a woman, watched Sumire sit back down and hurriedly walked away, relieved.

“As expected, even Sumire doesn’t think I’m cross-dressing. It seems she hasn’t realized that I’m the one behind the ‘duplicates’ using the Alive Mask.”

I’ve disguised my scent with perfume, and the only thing that could give me away is my appearance… but my naturally slender figure seems to have prevented me from being discovered as a man so far.

“With the ‘duplicates’ using the Alive Mask and the ‘misdirection’ to distract attention, I manipulated Yura, who looks like me, to distribute the masks to men with similar builds and exchanged my clothes with theirs. Even if they feel déjà vu, it should be difficult for them to reach the conclusion that I’m cross-dressing.”

Originally, since she’s a beauty, Yura has managed to wear my clothes quite well and has been oddly popular with the same sex. By now, she should be timidly enjoying the amusement park while being surrounded by high school girls.

“Dressed as a man, Yura is currently completing a ‘penalty game’ I imposed, going around the amusement park surrounded by a large group of high school girls… It’s virtually impossible to make contact with her since she’s blocked off by a group of high school girls. All I have to do is run out the remaining time and say, ‘I wasn’t feeling well, so I rested in the staff room until closing time.'”

When I checked the time on Maria’s cell phone, it was 16:54… Due to the pre-opening, the closing time is 18:00.

The time limit is almost up, and I’m sure I can get away.

“I’ve won.”

Feeling confident in my victory…

“Excuse me.”

I stiffened at the familiar voice coming from behind me.

“I have a question.”

Faced with the voice of “Minatsuki,” who was presumably right behind me, I began to sweat as I wondered how to respond.
