Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

Arisu stopped looking.

Maybe it was just an illusion, the uneasy feeling that arisen at the time.

Chapter 258 Favor and Like

Lately, I've been having this uneasy feeling in my heart.

Through the window, the traffic lights at the four-lane intersection were flashing as usual, the huge banner was still the same annoying loan advertisement, and in the distance, the Tokyo Tower was vaguely visible behind the tall buildings - everything was the same as before and not much had changed.

What exactly is wrong?

After finishing the work forty minutes ahead of schedule, Nanami began to look further away.

The sudden feeling of uneasiness that arises without any reason is surprisingly similar to the body's sixth sense in some ways.

There are moments like this occasionally.

Nanami was lying on her workstation. Her newly transferred boss would officially take up the post tomorrow. Today was the last day that senior Yukiko Yumi would spend in the company.

A peaceful day.

Just as he closed his eyes and planned to clear his mind for a while, the sound of high heels stepping on the floor got closer and closer to his ears.

As if she had thought of something, Nanami raised her cheek.

And the sound happened to stop at this moment.

The person who appeared before my eyes...

The badge swayed slightly in the air, and the words printed on it... were all too familiar to Nanami.

Yukiko Yumi.

"Nana, could you please come over here for a moment?"

Unlike before, Yukiko who said this...had a completely different temperament than before.

Maybe - to be a little more cold?

The sound didn't have the familiar feeling as before.

While looking into Yukiko's eyes, Nanami suddenly had an accurate intuition.

Although I am not sure, the impression left by that moment is hard to forget.

In front of you is a 'red button' that cannot be touched. As long as you place your finger on the surface of the button and apply force, something taboo will happen next.

Right now, there is only one way to touch the red button...

Should I agree to Yukiko-senpai's request?

Nanami frowned, and her thoughts began to wander between the two ends.

The last time I was alone with Yukiko-senpai, the scene that happened... is still very impressive. Although the senior is not the kind of person who will cling to someone, but facing the moment of being alone again... the uneasiness in my heart began to spread.

“No…?”

There seemed to be some sadness in Yukiko's eyes when she said this.

The scenes of our time together began to flash through my mind.

Senior...if you just want to say goodbye for the last time...as a junior who has been taken care of by the other party many times, I should not refuse in these aspects.

"Wait a mininute."

Nanami stood up, looked at her reflection in the window, and adjusted her collar slightly.

"Awaited."

Came to Yukiko's office.

The door was then closed.

All around...the numerous files originally piled on the desktop had now been completely cleared, leaving only the computer screen standing alone on it.

This is an office I've been to many times...but now it feels so strange.

This feeling has never appeared before.

Yukiko, who was walking in front, turned around and looked behind her.

"Nanami, I...there's something I've always wanted to understand."

A hesitant tone... I hope what happens next won't be as embarrassing as last time.

"Senior, if you have anything to explain, just say it directly."

Since when did the outspoken Yukiko-senpai...turn into someone so unfamiliar as she is now?

It's not like you to be so hesitant, senior.

"I... Really? I see. Um... I've always wanted to ask Nanami, do you ever have feelings of affection or liking for me? I want to hear the truth, even if it's just a little bit... I want to know, I want to know this before I completely leave Nanami-kun."

...... Yukiko-senpai, just seeing that face that had already made up its mind, Nanami seemed to have clearly sensed the other party's attitude.

Good impression...and like...

Nanami frowned.

If it's just a liking... for a senior like Yukiko who is gentle, intellectual, and has the attributes of an older sister... for men, as long as their sexual orientation is normal, it is inevitable to have a liking for her.

As for likes...

I really can't think of any relevant aspects.

Without an answer, there is no way to verify it.

What a hassle.

"Well... maybe I have a crush on you, but if it's a deeper level of affection, my feelings for Yukiko-senpai have nothing to do with that. You're an excellent girl, and I've always respected you, but... I'm sorry, I can't make reality develop in the direction you want."

This is Nanami’s answer.

Yeah.

Yukiko smiled, and her vision became blurry at this moment.

"Thank you, thank you Nanami for thinking this way in the end. I am already very satisfied to get the answer before leaving. Nanami-kun will definitely have a better life in the future. It is great to hear these words before leaving."

The scene of Yukiko Yumi-senpai in front of me...the smile on her face and the tears falling down her cheeks...

The scene of conflict, the gentle gaze of the senior... Nanami, who witnessed this scene, suppressed the urge to hug the other person.

Sorry, Yukiko-senpai.

Betraying Arisu-san and doing something like this...I can't do it.

This body and heart already have their own owner and can no longer accommodate a second person.

I guess Arisu-san also has the same idea.

Liking someone is a fair thing. If you destroy this balance without authorization, it would be a betrayal to the other party.

This will not change, even if only to a subtle degree.

"Nanami-kun, if you want to marry Arisu-san in the future...please contact me then."

Yukiko looked very embarrassed as she wiped the corners of her eyes.

Recalling the time they spent together, Nanami also felt like crying.

But, no.

Tears are not cheap goods for men.

"Well, besides... I'm leaving now. If you meet a suitable man to marry in the future, you can let me know."

Nanami said this and left the office.

The moment the door was closed, Yukiko reached into her pocket.

Something appeared in sight.

This kind of thing...if Nanami sees it, it will affect his and Arisu-san's happiness.

Although doing so may gain the upper hand, it would be too cunning if this hard-earned happiness were to be affected.

so......

The vision went from blurry to clear.

What appeared in my hand was a photo.

In the photo, an object falls from mid-air to the water surface...

It's a black cat.

And the one who kept the loosened posture… was Arisu.

Chapter 259: Feeling of Unease

There were still ten minutes left before the end of the get out of class. Arisu put on a serious look and watched the teacher who was explaining a complicated exercise... To others, she might look serious, but only she knew that what she was thinking about at that moment had nothing to do with the scene in front of her.

——Happy life.

There are only two hours left before I can meet Nanami again.

Today is a day off and I don't need to participate in the convenience store work.

Very good......

Arisu began to tap his face with his fingertips in a rhythmical manner.

——Two weeks have passed since I last explained the ‘facts’ to the store manager.

But... one thing that still makes people recall is that the store manager's first reaction after hearing the truth... was to comfort me. He didn't look sad at all.

Well——that’s right.

After all, the store manager...said to have adopted a new stray cat, so he probably acted like it didn't matter.

Humans are really confusing when it comes to emotions... sometimes.

Things that you valued at the time, once time has passed, you will realize that they are actually worthless.
