Yandere? Menhera? Bring It On, If You're Confident That I'll love You For Who You Are - Chapter 34

An Incomprehensible Situation

In the dim darkness, my consciousness returned. What I saw upon waking was a brown ceiling.

My body felt heavy, and my head throbbed. Raising my right arm amidst my hazy consciousness, I saw it was wrapped in clean white bandages. The same was true for my left arm.

Realizing the situation I was in was secondary to noticing I was in an unfamiliar room.

A small six-tatami Japanese-style room with just a small window. There, I lay on a single futon placed inside the room.

“Ah, that’s right. I was…”

I finally remembered everything. I was confined by Kanade, drugged, and faced an unprecedented situation with Kanade, Hina, and Rio.

And the fact that I had lost consciousness while stopping Rio’s rampage. The chains that Kanade had attached to my arms and legs were already removed.

How much time had passed since then? Were Rio, Hina, and Kanade safe? And where in the world was this place?

This wasn’t a place one could call a hospital. If anything, judging by the construction and filth of the room, it seemed more like an overused apartment.

I didn’t understand anything. I decided to stand up and check the details of the situation.

Leaving the Japanese-style room, it seemed my haphazard guess was correct. I was met with a narrow kitchen room.

In the small kitchen, multiple empty cup ramen containers and convenience store bento boxes were carelessly thrown away, indicative of a solitary lifestyle, perhaps.

Could it be that a stranger had come to my aid?

“If that’s the case, no offense, but this is a filthy room…”

Even a brief glance around the room made it clear it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Looking at the dish rack above the kitchen, even the glasses and plates that appeared to have been washed had faint stains on them.

Eventually, I found a closed room on the opposite side. There was no sign of anyone in this kitchen room, but the front door was unlocked. If the homeowner was out, this would be the last place to check.

“Is anyone there?”

I called out with a light knock, but there was no response.

There was still plenty to check. I thought about just leaving, but that would be extremely ungrateful. I opened the door as it was.

And the sight I saw was──

“Suu… suu…”
“…………”
“Suu… munch munch…”
“…………”

Apparently, not only my hands but also my eyes had gone strange. Could this be a dream? Thinking so, I slapped my cheeks several times.

Probably, this is what it means to be at a loss for words. No matter how many times I slapped my cheeks, I didn’t wake from the dream.

If that’s the case, it’s about time for an explanation of the situation.

I was seeing something unbelievable. A Western-style room that was about as large as the Japanese-style room I had been sleeping in. A bed placed at one end of it.

There, lying defenseless, was the girl with a strength and eeriness of a different dimension from Rio and Kanade──that Amano Mio.

Even this was enough to cause confusion, but there were no changes in hairstyle or appearance.

She was just sleeping. Due to her poor sleeping posture, a futon had rolled off from the bed, and she was clad only in her underwear, hugging a body pillow.

“I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all…”

An entirely unexpected situation. For the moment, is this Mio’s house?

Meaning, she’s the homeowner? If so, it would naturally follow that Mio was the one who treated my arms.

Just as I was about to ponder this, Mio’s sleeping posture shifted, as if to interrupt my thoughts.

“Yes… feels good… Noooo…”

Suddenly, she started moaning in her sleep, drooling, with her nose stretched to an unbelievable length, and that exquisite face was now nowhere to be seen.

“No good… it’s hot… it’s so hot… but, but… it’s okay. Just come as you are…”

Now she began to happily clutch the body pillow, her face flushed.

From just those lines, I could imagine this woman’s situation, which evidently meant I was still a virgin.

“It’s not right… we’re not… that far yet… You’re too forceful, Minato-kun…”

Hey, wait a minute. Me? Is it me? Am I the victim of your delusion world? And you even casually call me by my first name.

“Hehehe… You really love to sleep in, don’t you? Minato-kun’s ‘that’ is…”

I’m not the one sleeping in… I decided to forget the word “that” for now.

“Suu… suu… heh… hehehe…”

Just when I thought the lewd sleep-talking that would tempt any healthy virgin had stopped, she started to laugh creepily.

There was another true nature I had seen far too often. Not the madness equivalent to or greater than what Rio and Kanade had shown me, nor the mysterious smiles that woman had used to play me.

No matter how you looked at it, before me was nothing more than a pitifully beautiful girl, lying defenseless and drooling…

“…It’s well said that appearances can be deceiving.”

Seeing such a sleep posture so far removed from my image of her, even if it’s just a hypothesis at this point, it’s embarrassing to think that this could have been the cause of the trouble with Kanade.

Having come this far, I couldn’t help but suspect that this was a trap set to seduce me.

The scary part is that with this girl, it might actually be possible.

“Hey, are you awake?”

Anyway, I needed to wake her up to learn more about the situation. I whispered quietly into Mio’s ear.

“Mmm… hmm…? Ngaah… Kurogane-kun?”

“You awake?”

“Mmm… Yawn… Bobobogogas… zzz…”

She’s fallen asleep again. What the heck is “bobobogogas”…?
