I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 56

The Yandere Returns

The grand chandelier, painting a radiance, set the tone for the gently flowing night time.

Basking fully in the spotlight of the chandelier, a renowned orchestra played elegant classical music, while Unya-sensei savored the high-quality music with a satisfied her.

“This is delicious! It’s been a while since I’ve eaten such tender meat! Right, Kiriyama!?”

“…Yeah, I guess.”

A thick steak was proudly displayed on the iron plate at the table covered with a pure white tablecloth… unfortunately, I was suffering from a loss of appetite.

“Kiriyama, eat up! It’s getting cold!!”

All because of the idiot bachelor in front of me.

“This woman, how dare she… after doing all that… she’s interfering with Fii again… talking to Darling…”

From the start of dinner until the main course steak arrived, Fii was muttering to the face drawn on her own thumb, avoiding reality and not even glancing at me or the teacher.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere was the worst.

To lighten this dark space, I complimented the orchestra’s performance in English, but for some reason, the violinist got angry, making the atmosphere even worse.

Apparently, “f*ck” wasn’t a compliment. As my sister kept repeating “lets f*ck, lets f*ck” to me, I assumed it was the highest praise. I didn’t want to look up the meaning.

“Sensei, may I ask you something?”

“Kiriyama, the steak is delicious!! I’ve never tasted such delicious meat!!”

Our conversation was not connecting. Maybe it was due to the generation gap?

“What happened between you and Fiene?”

Sensei stopped her hand, her face clouded in an easy-to-understand way.

“Well… just a little.”

“Just a little”, and he did something that pushed her to that extent?

Fiene, who had been talking to her own thumb, seemed to be starting to recover from the Unya shock. She peeked at the conversation between me and the teacher, and when I looked at her, she turned her face away as if she was sulking.

“It’s troublesome. She crushed my puppet.”

“I’ve never seen a high school student who uses words like ‘puppet’ in real life…”

I’ve also never seen a thirty-something who names a crab “Aloha Kani-o” and dotes on it.

After glancing at Fiene, who was watching us, Unya-sensei swirled his wine glass and stared at me through the red liquid.

“Well, I was young back then. Unlike now, I wasn’t able to care for her… and…”

“And?”

Unya-sensei, who had nostalgia in her eyes, blinked as if startled, smiled, and pinched my cheek.

“…You’ve grown up.”

“Huh?”

“No, nothing. By the way, don’t you remember Fiene? Even though we hardly ever interacted, you should have seen her face.”

Once again, I stared intently at Fiene.

Her dazzling hair shone like white platinum, her eyes were as enchantingly attractive as the queen of the night’s aquamarine, and despite being as well-formed as Minatsuki-san, her body drew a rich curve… With her tall height, her outstanding style, which had reached a certain destination, was reaching an extreme that only foreigners could achieve.

Noticing that she was being observed, Fiene nervously stroked her hair, reseated herself in her chair, and changed her body’s direction as if she was trying to find the angle that made her look the most attractive.

“Ah”

–Love conquers all

For a moment, just a moment, the shine of white platinum flashed across my mind.

“I might know her.”

Apparently tired of talking to her thumb, Fiene stood up abruptly and glared at Sensei with hostility.

“How did you bribe Papa?”

“There’s no one who can bribe your Papa. He should be able to earn as much money as he wants.”

“Then why!? Why did Papa tell me to ‘welcome Unya’!?”

The orchestra’s performance stopped, and only the sound of waves dominated the surroundings.

In the quiet dinner, Unya-sensei calmly played with the sunglasses hung around the collar of her Aloha shirt.

“Your Papa loves you. That’s why he chose to bring me, an external factor, onto the island. It took a considerable amount of time and effort to make an appointment and persuade him.”

Use that skill for marriage hunting.

“…Did Papa betray Fii?”

“Oh, I dropped my fork (monotone).”

I’m going to hide under the table and weather the storm~!

“He didn’t betray you. As a parent, he is just trying to stop your rampage.”

“Rampage? Is it a rampage to gain love from the one you love!?”

Under the table, I watched Fiene’s fury.

“No!! What Fii is doing!! What I’m doing!! Is normal for a human!! For a human who knows love!! It’s okay if the world ends, as long as it shows my love for Darling!!

‘Sensei’–that woman said so!! She said, ‘Love is an indefinite thing’!! She said so!!”

She shouted out loud.

“All that’s needed in this world is Darling and me!!”

“No, that’s not right.”

I crawled out from under the table, faced her, whose face was distorted with anger, and slowly opened my mouth.

“What’s needed in this world isn’t just you and me.”

As if pushed back by my force, Fiene stepped back. In order not to let her escape, in order to convey my intention, I gripped her arm tightly.

“Natto.”

I shouted.

“We need natto too!!”

“Kiriyama, shut up.”

I can’t imagine a world where there is no natto for breakfast.

“Do you have any idea about this hair?”

In Akira’s room, which was oddly natural, Yuu had forgotten to breathe the moment she saw the white platinum hair that Sumire had picked up.

“Minatsuki-senpai?”

–Definitely, Fii will come back

“…Fii…ene”

–Until then, I’ll leave you with my darling.

“Fiene… Almhold…”

–That’s your role as the “Second Wife”

“M-Minatsuki Yui, do you know? If so… think about how to get back Akira-sama–”

“We can’t get him back.”

“Huh?”

Yui pushed her trembling hand behind her back to hide it.

“We can’t… beat that girl.”

Feeling her wide-open eyes dry out, Minatsuki Yui learned that her childhood friend, the “returnee,” was back.
