Chapter 360: Who is the Yandere?
“Kazumi, Kazumi.”
On the high embankment by the sea, the robust blond young man ran to catch up with the black-haired girl, who looked like she had no will to live, calling out to the girl before him with an intimately pleasing tone that didn’t match his physique.
“What exactly do you want…”
She looked around her surroundings with a bit of caution. It seemed to be morning at the resort, so there weren’t too many people strolling on the embankment. At least, no one around could hear these almost shameful shouts.
She reached up to wipe her face. This guy had been shouting all the way, and she almost didn’t recognize her own name. She stopped her footsteps helplessly, and Kazumi looked helplessly at the young man who was bouncing around her like a big dog.
“I just wanted to see if Kazumi was okay. Did something happen yesterday that you didn’t tell me about?”
Even the most clumsy young man would be exceptionally attentive to things he cared about. Even with an emotional intelligence close to zero, Sato Shinichi had sensed the bad direction of that strange atmosphere yesterday.
Although he didn’t quite know what would happen, he felt that something wasn’t right. And given his girlfriend’s demeanor at the time, Sato Shinichi didn’t choose to ask then, but waited until today to ask properly.
“Hmm? No, maybe I wasn’t in a very good mood last night.”
She glanced at her boyfriend with some surprise. Even Kazumi herself hadn’t expected that this guy was quite sensitive in this regard, or rather, his crisis awareness was very high?
She shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her lips, and Kazumi explained to Sato Shinichi.
“Oh, oh, that’s good. I don’t know why, but I felt like Kazumi was unhappy last night, so I got up early today to wait for you.”
【Don’t get up so early for something like this!!】
She complained fiercely in her heart, and Kazumi looked at the silly roe deer who was jumping around again, feeling somewhat helpless.
Because she was sleeping in the same room as Mai Shinomiyai, Kazumi didn’t sleep very deeply, fearing that she might reveal some information if she talked in her sleep.
Strictly speaking, she hadn’t slept much last night. She had only dozed off between 1 AM and 3 AM, when normal people sleep the deepest. For the rest of the time, she kept her eyes closed and meditated in bed.
However, this wasn’t too difficult for the girl whose normal sleep requirement was only four hours. In comparison, it was just like sleeping eight hours normally and sleeping two less hours due to something.
But the problem was with Sato Shinichi, this fool. What he meant was that he got up early to wait for Kazumi at the door, but Kazumi, who was lying in bed without falling asleep, could perceive the surrounding situation with her abilities.
Although the sound of leaving the room and the footsteps were almost nonexistent, the girl still perceived the figure loitering at her door.
Kazumi could somewhat understand the excessive intimacy, care, and possessiveness that people in love had for their significant others, but…
Wasn’t loitering at the door at four in the morning too perverted!! This had reached the level of yandere, hadn’t it!!
Wouldn’t it bother the other girls in the room?!!
Well, it wasn’t really that excessive, but coming to observe her every hour since four o’clock was definitely not something a normal person would do.
And the girl’s rare departure at seven-thirty in the morning to meet him was definitely not out of pity for her boyfriend, definitely not.
“Come here.”
Thinking of this, Kazumi beckoned to the boyfriend in front of her, and Sato Shinichi walked over with a confused look and stopped obediently in front of the girl.
She pinched her boyfriend’s face and examined him carefully. Looking at Sato Shinichi’s still handsome face, even Kazumi couldn’t help but lament the beauty of youth. Even though he hadn’t slept for almost a whole night, there wasn’t a trace of fatigue on his face, and he still had his usual energetic appearance.
“Do yu feel bad, Kazumi?”
With his mouth squeezed into a strange shape, the young man still struggled to ask his question. However, when he called his girlfriend’s name, the originally distorted accent was forcefully pulled back, making it exceptionally clear and loud.
“No, you’re quite handsome.”
She released her right hand that was pinching his cheek, patted Sato Shinichi’s face, and replied perfunctorily. Then she continued to ask.
“Aren’t you tired getting up so early?”
“Not tired, not tired. I always get up at this time for my morning exercises.”
His comical face contorted back to its original shape. Hearing his girlfriend’s concern, Sato Shinichi quickly waved his hands to deny it, and the classic action of scratching the back of his neck, which was so practiced that Kazumi could perfectly replicate it.
“Fool.”
Shaking her head, Kazumi found this guy to be truly and hopelessly foolish. To sacrifice everything for the person he likes, only a foolish young man of this age could do such a thing.
“Hey! Sato, Shimizu!”
Just as Kazumi was thinking of finding an excuse to send Sato Shinichi back to sleep, a shout from the embankment in the distance caught their attention.
Turning their heads, they saw a group of his male classmates, who seemed to have just woken up and were planning to go eat breakfast together.
“You go with them, I’ll take a walk by myself.”
Seeing Sato Shinichi waving hello to Sobakada Asada and the others, Kazumi took a step forward and said.
“Huh? Kazumi, aren’t you coming with us for breakfast?”
“I don’t have much of an appetite right now, I don’t really want to eat.”
“Then I’ll accompany you, and we’ll go eat together later.”
Sato Shinichi nodded, acting as if it were natural, and continued to follow the girl.
“No!”
Looking at this somewhat foolishly dazed boy, Kazumi became a little anxious. How could an ordinary person compare with her? She was an Undead Creature, and her need for sleep and food wasn’t particularly high.
But this silly roe deer hadn’t slept all night, and if he didn’t eat well, the damage to his body would be too great.
“Shinichi, you usually exercise and eat meals on time. I ate quite a lot yesterday, so I’m not very hungry now.”
“Besides… I want to eat with you alone…”
The eagerly spoken words did not come out in the end. They swirled in her mouth and turned into gentle persuasion, finally carrying a hint of coquettish complaint.
And for a straight man, such coquettish complaints were basically a kill shot. It was a trick that the girl had already figured out, a special move against virgin boys, and the success rate was still one hundred percent.
Watching the dazed boy, who wasn’t considering the logic of his words at all, shake his head and trot towards the main group, Kazumi smiled and shook her head, waved to the boy who kept looking back this way, and then found a place to sit down.
Kazumi had her own reasons for sending Sato Shinichi away. Caring for his health was one aspect, but more importantly, the girl really wanted to find a place to think alone.
It was difficult to do so in the room where she was with Mai Shinomiyai. Not to mention the constant vigilance against her mortal enemy, just Mai Shinomiyai’s constant discussion of puppy love was always stirring up the girl’s already unstable heart.
“Hoo—”
She let out a long sigh, plucked half a blade of grass from the side and put it in her mouth. The faint scent of grass and a fishy taste spread in her mouth.
Only now could she truly have her own time to think about her relationship with Sato Shinichi.
Her eyes wandered aimlessly at the clear sky, and the past events between the two began to emerge in her eyes. And just as Kazumi was about to piece together this scattered information again, a beam of red and blue light at the end of her sight attracted the girl’s attention.
“Police car?”
