I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 47

The Final Showdown

“Can you hear me?”

If I reply, my voice will give me away. But if I don’t respond…

“173cm”

“…Huh?”

I couldn’t help but let my voice slip.

“Height 173cm, weight 57kg, stride approximately 75cm, and a distinctive habit of lowering the head and becoming slightly hunched when starting to walk. There’s also a tendency to nod when passing by people, and a dislike for carbonated drinks, so all the purchased drinks are 100% fruit juice. The gesture of lifting the bangs to widen the field of vision when turning corners is due to not being used to wearing a wig. The style is too wide for a woman’s shoulders, and the movements are awkward, perhaps because they are distracted by the skirt. The fake Akira-kun’s don’t pay much attention to those who look alike, and their steps are quick as if to run away from the spot.”

In the moment I turned around, Minatsuki jumped into my chest.

“Why are you cross-dressing?”

As she looked up at me, her pitch-black eyes seemed to invite me to hell, leaning forward.

“Hey, why?”

“Will Yui believe me?”

In response to my question with a question, Minatsuki answered without hesitation, “Yes, of course.”

“Then, I’ll make up my mind.”

I had decided to play the “last resort” card as soon as I was found out. In that case, all I can do is run and pray.

“But let’s end the date before that.

There’s only a little time left until closing time… Is there anything you want to ride at the end?”

“In that case…”

Minatsuki pointed at the Ferris wheel.

“Alright, let’s ride it.”

If there’s no escape, I have no choice but to plunge into it myself.

“So, that’s why Minatsuki and I ended up riding the Ferris wheel.”

“Goodbye.”

“Stop it, don’t kill me.”

Since the call was cut off normally, I called back again.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“Implement the ‘last line’ of the schedule. There’s no way to escape from the Ferris wheel now. Yura knows I’m cross-dressing, and if I continue the date with Minatsuki dressed as a woman, there’s a high possibility that Sumire, who is looking for me, will notice.”

“Well, by specifying the meeting place and attractions, I managed to avoid direct contact quite well… If I move around the park, it might be more dangerous.”

A single encounter between yanderes who were not intended to interact can be fatal, let alone an instant loss. That’s why, until now, I had been maneuvering so that the triple booking wouldn’t be exposed.

“By the way, I can pick up your bones if you want.”

There’s no way a yandere would leave bones behind.

“It all comes down to a do-or-die battle, huh? I think my chances of winning are less than 10%, but I tend to be strong in situations like this. Besides, I have a trump card.”

“A trump card? You had something like that?”

“Your cell phone.”

After a few seconds of silence, an inaudible voice is spat out from the receiver.

“Don’t joke around! You’re planning to use my cell phone as physical evidence and make me take the fall, aren’t you?!”

“Your downfall is that you agreed to exchange cell phones with me.”

“What are you trying to show off for? Just die!!”

“We’re partners, right…?”

“Your partner is a yandere! How dare you?!”

Well, at this point, it’s more like a ghost following me around.

“I’m just kidding. I don’t plan on using your cell phone now.”

“I recorded that! Absolutely! If you betray me, I’ll tell the police!”

Poor thing… She’s lost her ability to trust people in such a short amount of time.

“Alright, alright. I’ll hang up soon, okay?”

“Wait, wait a minute.”

“What is it?”

After Maria’s pained moans of “Ah” and “Ugh” echoed, an embarrassed voice could be heard after a long pause.

“You’ll be… fine… Good luck…”

“Don’t suddenly act all sweet on me. It’s creepy.”

“Die, idiot!!”

As the loud volume assaulted my eardrums, I returned my eyes to the screen, and the call had already ended.

“Good grief.”

As I left the restroom, the surroundings were already enveloped in dusk.

The amusement park was wrapped in a nostalgic loneliness, bathed in orange sunlight, and the sounds of the attractions seemed to be forcibly cheering. Families carrying sleeping children passed by me, and mournful music began to flow from the speakers placed throughout the park.

“Akira-kun.”

Tinted in the midpoint between daytime and nighttime, Mizunashi-san stood before the now-empty Ferris wheel, dressed adorably and waiting for me.

“…Shall we ride?”

She extended her white hand, but…

“No, not yet.”

I rejected it.

“Why?”

“Because there are still ‘two’ people who haven’t arrived.”

“Eh?”

Minatsuki-san’s eyes widened in astonishment, and she looked at my back with annoyance.

“Onii-chan, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Ah, Akira-sama?”

Confused, Sumire and Yura, who I had called, asked me for an explanation. Ignoring them, I boarded the Ferris wheel.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

With a smile, I beckoned the three of them.

“We might as well ride as a ‘group of four.'”

Now, shall we begin…

“The Ferris wheel.”

The final showdown, the climax.
