I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 48

In the Ferris wheel, I don’t want to be in a predicament.

Yui’s PoV

“Wow! Amazing!! So this is how it looks from up high~!!”

Akira-kun’s thoughts are unreadable――With Sumire, who can’t read his thoughts, grumbling something in front of her, Yui sank into deep thoughts.

Why are the two of them in this amusement park…? If Akira-kun called them, he must have known that they were inside the park.

Repeated absences, the emergence of Akira-kun’s imposter, and the fact that he cross-dressed, there is no doubt that he was trying to distract me to hide the existence of these two.

So why did he introduce me to the two people in question? I can’t understand the meaning of pretending to disclose the truth that has been hidden so far.

“Akira-kun, don’t be too excited, it’s dangerous.”

To restrain the excited him, Yui reaches out to Akira――Her right hand is grabbed by Sumire, and she opens her mouth with a smile.

“Akira is an adult, so there’s no need for concern.”

Did Sumire-chan notice my presence? She’s a good actress, so it’s okay to think that she pretended to be surprised to deceive me.

“Ah, Akira-sama… would you like a drink…?”

Kinugasa Yura. I’m also curious about the relationship between her and Sumire-chan. These two behaved as if they knew they were both in the amusement park. If so, they might have formed a cooperative relationship.

Should I pursue my beloved Akira-kun?

But if I misunderstand and do that, Akira-kun might become suspicious of me. If that happens, it will be difficult to approach him in this Ferris wheel, and the two people in front of me will gain an advantage.

Is that the aim of Sumire-chan and Kinugasa Yura?

“…I don’t want to be hated by Akira-kun.”

Observing the situation is the only option. It’s too dangerous to confront Akira-kun now. I must assess the situation and extract information from these two.

The advantage of the ground is not as good as the harmony of the people――If these two girls are in a cooperative stance, even if I take advantage of the superiority and power difference in this confined space, there is a possibility of losing simply by quantity.

“Akira-kun, sit properly! Yui won the rock-paper-scissors, so I want to be lovey-dovey with Akira-kun more!”

Akira-kun won’t betray Yui, right? Right? He won’t betray me, right? I believe in you. I believe in you. Please don’t betray me.

If you ever betray me――

“…I’ll put an end to your high school life.”

Sumire’s PoV

I can’t read onii-chan’s thoughts――With her cross-dressing brother in front of her, Sumire glares at Yui, who is sitting next to him.

There have been suspicious points about my brother since before the date started. There have been many suspicious points during the amusement park date as well.

But this is decisive. There’s no doubt about it. My brother was hiding the existence of Minatsuki-senpai from me.

“…The smell of perfume.”

The same scent of perfume emanates from Minazuki-senpai and Onii-chan. If that’s the case, the pair I saw with Yura-senpai in the shopping area could very well have been Onii-chan and Minatsuki-senpai.

If that’s true, I’ve been deceived from the start. But what’s important is the reason why Onii-chan, who loves me, would deceive me. And even more crucial is the meaning behind revealing “that truth” that has been kept hidden until now.

“The imposter of Onii-chan…The meaning behind deceiving me with perfume…Even if Minatsuki-senpai’s existence is revealed now, it’s definitely going to be a big deal…I don’t understand why they would intentionally bring the truth to light…”

Onii-chan, using masks he obtained somewhere, created many imposters and had them wear the perfume as camouflage to conceal his cross-dressing. He must have thought that just wearing perfume without cross-dressing would give him away to me due to a slight difference in the scent.

To begin with, why are Onii-chan and Yura-senpai exchanging clothes? Are they cooperating together? Minatsuki-senpai, judging from her surprise, should not have known about my existence, so why doesn’t she mention Onii-chan?

“Akira-kun, don’t get too excited, it’s dangerous.”

The moment Minatsuki-san reached out to Akira, Sumire reflexively grabbed her.

“Onii-chan is an adult. There’s no need to worry.”

While staring at her, enemy Minatsuki-san sank into her hips without saying a word.

“Ah, Akira-sama…Would you like something to drink…?”

As for Yura-senpai, thanks to Onii-chan’s goodwill, she’s still wandering around the amusement park and has been invited here, which somewhat explains her presence.

“Akira-kun, sit properly! Yui won rock-paper-scissors, so she wants to flirt with Akira-kun more!”

Could it be that Onii-chan is being threatened by Minatsuki-senpai?

The two-shot sent on the bus crossed Shurei’s mind, and she focused on the doubt that had arisen.

“The story adds up…Minatsuki-senpai shouldn’t know that I’m here…After all, Onii-chan was captured by senpai before coming here…It wouldn’t be strange if our amusement park date was exposed…”

When her eyes met with Yui’s–Sumire returned a smile to her, who had smiled brightly.

“I have to figure it out in this Ferris wheel…There’s no way my beloved Onii-chan would betray me…It’s okay, I’ll peel off that person’s disguise…”

As she thought, she’s become rigid.

Akira’s PoV

I pretend to be excited while observing the three people reflected in the glass, breathing a sigh of relief.

Think, think…Because you guys are smart, you’ll definitely seek “meaning” or “logic”…As long as there’s suspicion, because there’s affection for me, you can’t help but avoid direct mention…

The result is a “stagnation” where affection and suspicion collide.

Four people. It’s because of these four people that the “blank” is completed. If it were just the two of us here, only I would be conscious, but with four people, it’s a different story.

The one with the highest favorability in this place is “me”…If that’s the case, the ones who naturally attract suspicious eyes are the other two who are adversaries.

The only way to avoid the unavoidable Ferris wheel. Now, as long as I can control the atmosphere of the place so that the triple booking of three reservations doesn’t get exposed–”

In this closed room, the vibration sound of the mobile phone echoed well.

“Akira-sama”

Yura, with her mobile phone to her ear, asked me with a smile.

“Why do you have Maria’s mobile phone?”

Everyone’s consciousness–focused on me.
