Chapter 38: The Seatmate Killer’s Killer
Chapter 38: The Seatmate Killer’s Killer
I left Mizuna at home and headed to the station with Yui to send her off.
Mizuna said, “Come again, Yui-chan!” and was hesitant to say goodbye, but Yui didn’t seem to be too bothered by her.
Following the streetlights, Yuuki and Yui went down an alleyway together.
“I’m sorry, it’s really late.”
“It’s fine. It’s fine. It’s rather likely that my sister will only complain and ask me ‘Are you a grade schooler?'”
Yui smiled with a huff.
I kept quiet while Mizuna was present, but I still couldn’t let her leave without doing anything.
Yuuki stopped under a bright streetlight and bowed his head to Yui.
“Thank you. About Mizuna…”
“No, actually, I’m the one who said all those stupid things about pretending to be your girlfriend.”
“No, I don’t think so…”
In a straightforward manner without getting distracted, Yuuki was swamped by the words she replied with and swallowed.
Then, feelings that were difficult to express, like a tightness in his chest, something he had never felt before, came in.
I don’t know how to describe it. It was the first time in my life that I had ever felt like this.
When I was depressed and silent, unable to speak, Yui leaned in close to me and looked up at me from below with a smile.
“What’s the matter, Yuuki-kun? You suddenly shut up. Could it be… fufu~… that you’ve fallen for me? Have you’ve fallen in love with this Yui-chan?”
As soon as she said that, I felt a shock as if I was struck by lightning.
I lifted my face and shuddered.
I had forgotten all about it until now.
She… she was the one.
The one who captivated many boys who sat next to her. The Seatmate Killer.
Yuuki replayed his memories and developed his own reasoning.
This was the flow so far.
It was apart of her long plan… no, even the irregularities that even she didn’t expect were used by her.
This was the real terror of the Seatmate Killer.
Yuuki caught a glimpse of the deep darkness there.
What a terrible thing. What kind of karma did I bear in the past for this…
Still, I can’t just go along with her now.
I’ve decided to keep an eye on her as well.
I’m not in a hurry, but will proceed slowly… yes, slowly and without haste.
“Yui…”
Yuuki stared straight at Yui with the kindest eyes possible.
Then, the expression of Yui, which had been loose and bright, suddenly tensed up.
“Listen, I, about Yui…”
“W-wa, yes?!”
Yui straightened and became upright and froze.
I was unnaturally distracted and looked away.
But Yui, however, focused on my eyes and stared back, not realizing that.
I’m motivated.
By the demon that rests in her heart.
Her appearance on the surface was so bad that she was nicknamed “The Seatmate Killer”.
(Then, I’m going to kill that fantasy… right here..)
I wanted to do it.
I didn’t want to beat her down head on, but rather wrap her up and heal her.
“Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you.”
“…..Uh. What?”
“Eh?”
They became mysteriously rigid occurs while they stared at each other.
I’m not sure what else to say, but I’m sure Yui’s eyes were focused on the matter, and her tone of voice was as if she had something else to say.
In that case, Yuuki put his arms around Yui and hugged her while rubbing her back, just as he did with Mizuna.
“Fuyaa?!”
I heard the devil’s death.
Finally, she has been cleansed…
As Yuuki was thinking that, he was suddenly gingerly grabbed by a hand that pulled off his body.
Yui jumped back a step, her face turning red as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
“What the hell are you doing?! That was sexual harassment, sexual harassment!!”
“Are? Was that bad?”
“It’s not like it’s bad… but there’s an order to it… like… Wait. Didn’t you just do this to Mizuna-chan?! Don’t reuse it!!”
“Well, don’t rush and do your best.”
“Hah?! I said that to Mizuna-chan, but you should be a little more patient, Yuuki-kun! You’re hugging people without permission!”
She was so noisy and squeaky. Apparently, the purification process failed.
It’s already late. Quiet down. And when I held up my index finger, Yui, instead of becoming quiet, kept glaring at me.
It seems that this wasn’t a simple matter.
When Yuuki turned on his heel and started walking again, Yui silently followed him.
Eventually, when the station came into view, Yui finally calmed down and caught up with him, walking next to Yuuki.
“Haaa~… well, for now the fake girlfriend continues. I can’t help it, since I had so. It’s a good thing I’m not going to get into trouble for this, or else I’d really….”
“But if you think about it, you’re just a big lie. And you say you’re such a cute girlfriend.”
“Why do you have to say something so screwed up? Aren’t I cute? I would be super cute if I was like this, right?”
“Yeah, yeah, Yui is the cutest girl in the world.”
“Are you making fun of me?”
We arrived at the station while talking about such things.
There were still a few groups of young men and women hanging out near the entrance, and there were a still good number of people.
When they got the the front gates, Yuuki looked back at Yui and said,
“Can you get home on your own? Do you still want me to walk you home?”
“I-it’s fine! Go home!”
Then we’ll separate here.
As I was about to say that, Yui, who had been unexpectedly staring at Yuuki’s face, suddenly opened her mouth and used a serious tone.
“…But I’m a little surprised. It seems that Yuuki-kun is absent minded, but you have an unexpected serious side…”
“Oh no, this time what I did was unintentional… that was dangerous.”
“Hmmm? What do you mean?”
“I have a bad feeling about your reaction if I told you…”
“Eh?”

A few days later.
“I don’t want to go to school because I don’t have any friends~,” says Mizuna, who hadn’t gotten out of bed since morning with her game console in her hands. Yuuki dragged out out by force.
“You’re terrible, Yuuki-kun, terrible! I don’t know you anymore! I’m running away from home! I won’t be back until later!”
“Have a good day.” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨m
“Yuuki-kun! Let’s remember that day! Come on, I’ll hug you gently!”
Thus, another one of Mizuna’s specialties was added.
