Yandere? Menhera? Bring It On, If You're Confident That I'll love You For Who You Are - Chapter 29

When Madness Begins

“Ah… there’s an opening! Smash!”

“Hmph… naive. This is what counters are for!”

“What! A…ah!”

The words “GAME SET” displayed on the monitor in front of me. Seeing this, Kanade’s shoulders shook.

*Sigh*… I’ve completely lost the ability to win. But who would’ve thought you’d become this strong in such a short period of time, Minato? Are you actually a gamer?”

“Hm? Not really. I don’t even have the money to buy a gaming console, and I only play smartphone apps without paying at most.”

Responding to Kanade’s question, that was my answer. Currently, Kanade and I were both holding controllers, engrossed in a competitive action game before our eyes.

During elementary school, I enjoyed these types of games with Sumire, but ever since middle school, I had devoted myself to martial arts and had completely stopped playing, which is one reason.

Despite the abnormal situation we found ourselves in, our conversation was surprisingly casual.

How much time had passed since then?

There were no clocks in the confinement room, and the TV didn’t receive any signal, so I couldn’t tell the exact time, but I could roughly estimate based on the number of meals and my internal clock.

I was restrained by chains, but I could still move enough to eat, which meant no problem with meals, but it was still confinement. When it came to the bathroom or baths, it was a different story.

According to her, until my heart falls, I wouldn’t be allowed to bathe—instead, she meticulously wiped my body and scalp with a steamed towel and body sheets.

Those particularly important parts for a man were thoroughly cleaned, but it was too late for modesty.

The toilet situation was almost the same, but in a way, it was the most difficult. To my embarrassment, the bed had sheets laid out in advance for that very purpose.

At this point, I was just like a pet, forced to urinate right there like a dog or cat.

It was definitely tough to accept, but given the current situation, there was not much else I could do. A moment of emotional decision-making could turn everything upside down.

“By the way, I didn’t think you had any interest in competitive games. I thought you never really played those genres before.”

“That’s not true. I mainly played simulation games and board games. If you want, I could bring some over later. You’ve been fighting in your arena until now. Next time, will you stand in mine?”

Kanade sounded unusually forceful, perhaps unable to accept her loss. Although competitive games requiring strategy had always been my forte, inevitably, one becomes stronger without much else to do, and it’s annoying to be ridiculed for it.

“Are you hungry yet? Should we have some food?”

Saying this, Kanade took out a large plate wrapped in plastic wrap from the microwave in the room.

Inside were thick slices of beef, potatoes, and carrots.

Deeper inside was a plate of rice with a classic dish of beef stew cooked well in brown sauce.

“Wow, this is quite a feast. Do you have a spoon or a ladle?”

“Yes, I have them right here with me.”

“Huh? Give it here then—!?”

“Mm.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.

And for good reason. Out of nowhere, Kanade scooped up some beef stew with the spoon she was holding and, while still containing it in her mouth, took my lips.

And then, she pushed the hot content into my mouth.

In other words, a direct mouth-to-mouth feed.

“Puhaa. How is it? Delicious?”

“Yeah, as expected of a professional chef. The flavor is the real deal.”

I managed to maintain my composure. Aside from the bathroom and bath, I hadn’t experienced any particular inconveniences, so such a bold move was unexpected.

Kanade, having taken such an action, blushed to an unprecedented degree, looking embarrassed.

The usual innocent and unstoppable Asagami Kanade was not there,; instead, there was a mere maiden in love.

“Really, you’re not fazed at all, Minato. A normal boy would be tongue-tied or flustered at times like this. Or maybe I just don’t have that kind of charm anymore?”

“That’s not it. I was fed mouth-to-mouth by such a beautiful girl. Rather, thanks to you, I was reminded once again of the fortunate situation I’m in.”

“Is that so… But I wonder how long that glib tongue of yours will last.”

Perhaps annoyed by my attitude, Kanade, with a clearly displeased look, loaded another spoonful of beef stew.

“Let me ask, do I have the right to refuse?”

“I won’t force you, but with your intelligence, you know what’s best in this situation, right?”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

I nodded quietly. Kanade, with another spoonful of beef stew, took my lips once again.

This time, repeatedly, without rest…

At first, I couldn’t contain my nervousness and heartbeat for the first five or six times, but gradually I got used to it.

But that familiarity was my downfall…

“…”

When I was no longer aware of how many times she had done it, I felt something slip into my mouth along with her tongue.

I wanted to spit it out, but my lips were sealed, and as I tried to refuse the stew being poured in, I found myself swallowing it before I knew it.

“You…”

“Ah, did you notice? I thought you wouldn’t catch on after just once or twice, so I’ve been holding back until now. But with that look on your face, it seems it’s too late.”

Kanade smiled triumphantly. At the same time, I could feel my body temperature rapidly rising.

“What did you put in?”

“A little strong muscle relaxant and excitant. It’s Minato’s fault, you know? Despite my efforts, you’re not getting excited at all.”

“Tch…”

Sweat covered my body.

I could tell that I was losing control over my body.

This is bad. If she does something strange now…

“Ahaha, when was the last time I saw Minato with such a troubled face? A face of Minato that only I am allowed to see—I’d love to keep looking at it forever, but I have a little something planned. We’ll have a long chat after that, okay?”

“Planned…?”

“Yeah. I was getting tired of having her in my sight, so I called her over. That whore who stole your lips in front of me.”

“…Hina, huh.”

The person I should be most wary of right now.

Unlike Rio, who could be crushed at any time if she wished, Hina had discovered the truth behind the murder of her uncle.

Above all, she had definitive evidence to prove it.

However, Kanade isn’t one to overlook such things.

Like with Rio, there’s a good chance she made arrangements using a third party from the Asagami Group.

Between Kanade and Hina, it was clear that one of them wouldn’t come out of this unscathed.

“Well then, I’m off. Don’t worry, I plan to settle things as peaceful as possible.”

“As peaceful as possible, huh…”

“Yeah. As much as possible…”

With those parting words, Kanade left the room, waving her hand as if to tease.

Perhaps due to the drug, it was becoming difficult to maintain my seated position on the bed. Never before had I felt such anger at the chains restraining my arms and legs.

“Damn…”

My vision started to blur at times. The drug seemed to be quite strong, as Kanade had said.

Given the situation, I had been calmly waiting for a chance to escape, but I couldn’t afford to do that anymore.

“If I had my way, I would’ve liked to enjoy the game a little longer…”

I laughed self-deprecatingly. Never again will I make the same mistake.
