I, Who Longs To Be A Dependent, Have Decided To Be Owned By A Yandere - Chapter 60

Darling, Confinement Game (Crappy Game)

“Ahaha, I suck at games.”

Facing me, who was armed with Aloha Canio (weapon), Fiene, holding a sharp knife, stepped into the room, still smiling.

“Don’t worry, it’s a fun and simple game.”

She said, still laughing, as she stabbed her knife into the table.

“It’s called ‘Darling, Confinement Game’.”

Just the name of the game tells me it’s a crappy one.

“Well then, let’s explain the rules.”

She starts explaining the rules even though I haven’t agreed to participate.

“Darling will hide somewhere on this island, making sure not to be found. Fiene and Unya, the participating players, will wander around the island looking for Darling… The player who finds Darling first wins. The losing player…”

The platinum bathed in moonlight fluttered in the sea breeze, casting a fantastic sparkle.

“Dies.”

A death game between money spinners… sounds thrilling!!

“In other words, Darling just needs to be found by the player he wants to “keep alive”. Conversely, he should strive not to be found by a player he thinks “it’s okay to die.”

“Why would you do something like that?”

“…Maybe it’s a curse.”

Looking at the face drawn on her thumb, Fiene murmured, seeming somewhat sad.

“Fiene has to beat Unya. Otherwise, Fii can’t move forward from “that time”.

“Is it about revenge?”

“No.”

Her smiling beauty surpassed the magic of the moon, as if she had ascended to an angel in the clouds.

“This is about “love”.

As if she was confident of an absolute victory, the two queens of the night, Aquamarine, sparkled in the moonlight.

“Thinking back… perhaps I chose her, Yui, as the second wife… and thought it was okay to share Darling… because I fell in love at the “same time” with her…”

Second wife? What’s she talking about?

“The trip down memory lane is over. Once Unya set foot on this island, a confrontation with Fiene was inevitable. Now, Darling, run.”

“No, I get the running part… but what’s in it for me?”

“Huh?”

In front of a stunned Fiene, I, with my arms crossed, answered.

“Why should I use up my energy to run away from you guys? What’s in it for me? You were talking about a fun and simple game, but what’s fun about running away for me?”

“…For every second you stay hidden from Fiene , I’ll give you 100 dollars.”

I pass by Fiene , jump out of the window with momentum, turn around, grab the window frame to kill the momentum, and land while taking a tumble.

“Huh?”

In order to take advantage of Fiene’s blind spot, who was frozen in astonishment, I ran at full speed in a diagonal right direction, heading towards the center of the island and stepping into the forest.

“Da, Darling! Wait, wait a minute!! The point of this game is to see who Darling will choose…”

“2.7 hours.”

“Huh?”

Hidden in the dark night, I shouted, moving slowly so as not to give away my position by the direction of my voice.

“2.7 hours gives me 1 million dollars.

The average lifetime wage of a modern-day salaryman, assuming they work until retirement after graduating from a university, is 274.92 million yen including retirement bonus. In other words, if you earn 274.92 million yen, you can live a decent life.

Before I came to this island, the yen-dollar exchange rate was 109 yen to the dollar. So, 1 million dollars is 190 million yen. If I can keep running for 5.4 hours, it will be 218 million yen. That’s more than enough for me, who doesn’t have a family.”

Overflowing happiness leaked from my mouth, and I couldn’t help but smile to myself.

“5.4 hours. I’ll run away from you guys for 5.4 hours.

Keep your promise, Fiene. If you lie, I’ll hate you. I will never love you in the future.”

“Th, that… Da, Darling, anything but that…”

“Ahahahaha!! Then you better keep your promise!!

See you in 5.4 hours, Fiene!!”

As I ran off gallantly, I bumped into something soft and fell on my butt.

Feeling a tremendous killing intent on my skin and a bad premonition, I reluctantly looked up to find… there stood Unya, the 30-year-old ogre.

“Hey, Kiriyama.”

Unya, who looked like a bad spirit, stared down at me with a smile, exuding an imposing aura that made her feel her age.

“Se, Sensei.”

Realizing that I was about to get punched, I hugged her to immobilize her arms.

“Waaa!! I was so scared!! Sensei, I love you!! I love you!!”

Sighing, she carried me, who was in the middle of a love hold, and walked slowly towards the mansion.
