Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

Being discovered in such circumstances...is bound to lead to misunderstandings.

"You...exactly..."

Aragaki, who was speaking halfway, suddenly seemed to realize something and his eyes focused on the surfboard placed beside him.

"Oh, I haven't told Mr. Aragaki yet. I plan to go to Okinawa with Arisu... Because it's her last summer vacation of the school year, it would be too boring if we just stay at home."

It's just a normal narration.

Nanami felt an indescribable sense of tension in her heart.

I didn't have this feeling when we first met.

This panic feeling.

Hearing Nanami's hasty words, Aragaki maintained the same facial expression as before and lightly tapped his chin.

"Bring your surfboard. Arisu is really into surfing."

"Oh...thank you."

"Thank you... huh? Why did you say that?"

Come to think of it, Nanami had no idea why she would say such a thing under the circumstances at that time.

Perhaps - it was because Mr. Aragaki was willing to entrust his daughter to an unrelated person like himself, and the sense of trust that resulted from that prompted him to say such a thing at the time?

I feel the other person's trust, but I don't know how to express it.

Was it under the influence of such tangled thoughts that he subconsciously said such confusing words?

"Mr. Aragaki... do you want to come with us?"

Looking at the 'transparent window' that suddenly appeared in front of me.

The 'probability event' that has occurred has shown that -

Mr. Aragaki is looking forward to going to Okinawa with Mr. Arisu.

But the reality is——

"No, I will only be a nuisance if I go along. Arisu must think so too. Staying with an incompetent father like me will only create disgust. I have made up my mind not to interfere in her life from now on."

Mr. Aragaki turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at his back, Nanami seemed to witness a trace of vicissitudes.

"Mr. Aragaki."

The sudden voice behind him made him stop.

Mr. Aragaki seemed even more tired than when we first met.

perhaps--

It must be quite painful.

In order to not be a burden after leaving, I did this to such an extent that I could only face death alone in the end...

This approach is unfair to him.

It is impossible to make all memories inseparable from happiness. Memories also contain pain. Important memories are not just happy ones. Memories that carry pain are also very important in life.

I...I will definitely do it. I can't bear to see Mr. Aragaki leave alone and just watch it all as a bystander.

——Nanaha said what she wanted to say in her heart.

The effect is exactly the same as what is conveyed verbally.

The reason for concealing it is because we haven't reached the 'final step' yet.

"What's wrong, Nanami?"

Aragaki, who was suddenly called, looked behind him in confusion.

The determined face reflected in the darkness—

"Arisu-san will definitely live a happy life from now on."

"The same goes for Mr. Aragaki. You will definitely be happy in your future life."

What I said with determination——

A promise made to Mr. Aragaki.

This goal will definitely be achieved in the future.

We will definitely not let Mr. Aragaki down.

Chapter 127 I believe you

When I arrived home, the sky, which was originally dyed red, had gradually darkened.

The entrance hall was shrouded in darkness until the fluorescent lights came on, and the furniture displayed around it began to appear one by one.

Nanami Fumito put the surfboard in his hand aside, and at the edge of his sight, Arisu Sato placed the black and white sneakers on her feet on the shoe cabinet.

Arisu has remained silent since leaving home, and his behavior is really strange.

It must be because Mr. Aragaki suddenly appeared at that time.

Even though Arisu showed disgust many times when facing Mr. Aragaki, Nanami could clearly feel that in her heart...the impression of Mr. Aragaki's role was perhaps just that of an 'overly strict father'.

I didn't see any hatred in that look.

The two people who hold different opinions form an invisible relationship of confrontation with each other.

Neither of them realized this, which led to the current situation.

No one side is wrong.

It's just that the beliefs they hold are different.

"Nanami, what are you going to make for dinner?"

Arisu, who was sitting in the living room, spoke for the first time since leaving home.

Oh--

It is something related to dinner.

Since Arisu-san took the initiative to mention this, the only possibility is—

"You must be quite hungry. After all, you haven't eaten for nearly eight hours."

Since I ordered takeout, I don’t have to worry about dinner.

only......

Arisu-san was not aware of this.

Nanami turned on the air conditioner in the room and sat down twenty centimeters away from Arisu's shoulder.

"What's wrong? Arisu looks quite unhappy. If you want to praise me like last time, well - I have no problem with that."

Nanami's nonchalant words immediately made Arisu turn his head and look over here.

"Idiot...I'm already starving, I don't want to hear you say those words to please me."

"To please... Is that what Arisu thinks? But I didn't mean to please you. I just spoke my true thoughts from the bottom of my heart. Besides, even others would think so."

"......That's right, no one has ever said that to me before. The most common word my mom has ever praised me with is 'awesome', which has nothing to do with 'cute'......"

"Yeah."

Nanami cupped her cheeks in her hands and propped her elbows on the table.

Although he secretly longs to be recognized by others, when he is faced with such a moment, Arisu shows panic and disbelief.

This cognitive perspective is truly self-contradictory, Arisu-san.

"By the way... did Arisu ever question what I said?"

Nanami glanced at Arisu's slightly red face.

"...No, why did Nanami suddenly mention these things? It's strange, isn't it..."

"Arisu said something like 'no'."

Nanami turned her cheek.

No longer just watching from the corner of your eye.

Instead, he looked Arisu straight in the eye.

"If you believe in me, why do you doubt me when I praise Arisu for being cute? I don't agree with such contradictory statements."

It seems that the key message was hit.

Arisu just avoided his gaze from beginning to end, showing no sign of answering.

After saying this, Nanami had no intention of resting.

"Idiot, I have always believed in Arisu. If you think this one-sidedly, it would be too much for me. I have always believed in you. Please believe in me as much as I believe in you."

"......knew."

A very subtle sound penetrated my eardrum.

Although I heard it clearly.

However, Nanami had no intention of ending it there.

"Your voice is too quiet. Has the awareness you had when you confessed your feelings disappeared?"

"...I understand! I believe in Nanami! I believe in Nanami! From now on I will always...always believe in Nanami!"

Arisu-san, whose chest began to rise and fall as she said this with all her might, finally regained her usual energy.

It was wonderful to witness all of this.

Nanami withdrew her gaze from Arisu.

He stood up, took out his clothes from the bedroom, and walked into the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door was closed——
