Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

Page 229

What is the meaning of this sentence?

Ignoring Yuusu's dazed reaction, Asamura continued his explanation.

"Anyway... no matter now or later, working hard is my only choice. Sugar-chan, you know that, right? If I don't do this, the only option I have is to sell my soul."

......Yeah.

Asamura, who always seems slow, has also thought of these aspects.

Compared to his peers, Asamura's adaptability should be much stronger.

"Asamura... you've impressed me in these areas."

Arisu wasn't going to be stingy with the praise.

After all, it is just stating the facts and there is no exaggeration in it.

"Hmm - Sugar-chan, I've actually thought about doing that, living by selling my soul, and I've even agreed on the price."

When they were about to reach the fork in the road, something Asamura mentioned caused Arisu's gaze to change slightly.

And Asamura's face...still maintained the same relaxed expression as before.

Even when I said these words, I didn't feel any pressure at all.

"What happened next? What caused Asamura to give up on that decision?"

Arisu rarely has the urge to get to the bottom of something.

Now, I have the urge to find out the specific reason.

"I thought about it carefully. Even if I choose not to do that, I can still live as long as I work harder. I have been working hard until now with this idea."

"Yeah."

"That's right, Sugar-chan, don't you want to believe me?"

"No, I just think... Asamura seems to be less unreliable."

Arriving at the fork in the road, it's time to say goodbye.

When he was about to leave, Asamura suddenly pulled at the corner of Arisu's clothes, and a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself appeared on his face.

"What's wrong."

"I...I'm friends with Sugar-chan, right?"

"I think so. Why did Asamura suddenly mention this aspect?"

"Since we're friends... we shouldn't lie, right?"

Arisu had a clear premonition at this moment.

Before his eyes, Asamura's eyes began to tremble and his emotions gradually became shaken.

Her intuition seemed to tell her that Asamura... must have discovered something in some unknown aspect.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Asamura."

Arisu smiled.

Asamura is not the type of girl who knows how to hide her inner thoughts. Whenever she feels confused about something, she will explain it without hesitation.

However, facing her now, she did not mention these strange aspects without any signs.

All the evidence at this point points to one thing.

perhaps--

You've thought about this before, right?

Asamura, who did not raise the issue in time but chose to conceal it, seems strange.

Thus--

I also feel pressure when I am with her.

This... is really not good.

"I...I have always considered Sugar-chan as a good friend and have never thought of betraying you, so...does Sugar-chan have the same thoughts about me?"

"Yes, I think so too."

The smile on Arisu's face remained unchanged.

Next-

Tell me everything you know, Asamura.

In addition-

If words threaten a "happy life", then there is no need for them to exist.

Whatever the words were...

Or you, Asamura-san.

Chapter 251 Concealment

Two people standing in opposing positions.

The wind blowing past her body made her face feel stinging. Arisu Sato's gaze slightly shifted downward, and was level with Asamura Hanako's.

So--

What important words will you say, Asamura-san?

There was a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions that did not match his expression.

The distance between them is less than one meter.

“I…I…!”

Asamura, whose voice gradually began to tremble, seemed to have confirmed one point.

The aspects I am going to mention next are very important to you, Asamura.

Although I really want to know what Asamura-san is thinking right now, I can't reveal too much of my inner thoughts right now.

and so--

Arisu responded in a light-hearted tone.

"There's no need to hesitate on these matters. I will help Asamura with his worries, so please feel free to explain."

......

It seemed that these words inspired Asamura. She was originally hesitant, but the next moment she clenched her hands and showed a determined look.

"Then... I'll just say it straight! I... I want to know! Why does Sugar-chan like Nanami-senpai? What's the reason... why do you like her?"

"If we were friends...Sugar-chan wouldn't lie about these things...right?"

After saying these words, Asamura carefully raised his head and looked over here.

The tone of voice, the facial changes, the subconscious body movements, everything that can be seen in front of me proves that Asamura-san...is not lying.

But is this really the reality?

The reality is completely different from my intuition and feels strange.

The expected reality... shouldn't be like this.

so......

You are lying, Asamura-san.

"My reasons? Um... let me think about that for a second."

Arisu tapped his cheek with his right index finger, looking thoughtful.

There is no need for anyone else to know my love for Nanami.

There was no intention of explaining this to Asamura.

"Well... actually there's no particular reason. If Asamura feels like he can't leave someone, then maybe he loves them."

"Huh? So that's how it is... I see. Well, thank you Sugar-chan for telling me this. I'm going back now."

After saying this, Asamura turned around.
