Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

If it was her habit to fall asleep this way...well, it was a fact that she would have to face sooner or later.

It’s about to start.

Nanami stretched out her hands forward, and her palms fully felt the temperature of Sato's body.

"Hold tight, it's not enough."

"......Um."

"I told you to hold tight, are you stupid? Don't treat me like a precious artifact that can break at any time."

...Nanami began to try using strength that she had never tried before.

But...after he made this decision, his body immediately began to change in an uncontrollable direction.

Fortunately, Sugar didn't care about this and looked relaxed at this moment.

"It's totally possible if you try hard. Besides... this thing is in the way. Why leave it here?"

Nanami naturally knew what the other party was referring to.

But...if he were to be honest with the other party, this reality would definitely develop in an uncontrollable direction in the next second.

This is the bottom line.

"You...really like hugs...normal girls would have been unable to handle this level of hugs."

The force applied to her hands was unprecedented, and even in this situation...Sugar still had no intention of giving up.

"I don't like hugging, I just like Wenren-kun. Hugging... is just because doing so allows us to feel more of each other's body temperature. Well, skin and clothes are both in the way. It would be nice if there was no such restriction."

"...Your thoughts are really scary. If the other person is an excellent person with rich dating experience, he might want to escape from you. Unfortunately, the me that Sucrose met is a white-collar worker who lives alone in a dark corner. Faced with distorted feelings...I will not give up easily."

"Don't say that... I just calmed down with great difficulty. If I hear a direct confession from Bunjin-kun... I will become strange..."

After that... Nanami maintained the hugging posture as before.

She has always chosen to conceal her true self, and is even willing to go to the extent of violating the law to protect the 'happy life' in her heart. Facing a classmate like Sato who holds such thoughts...how can I let her face such a hopeless reality alone?

"I will be prepared to be loved."

His tone began to soften.

"In this way...I have become a bad person like Sugar."

----------

The decision to quit his job and become a coffee shop manager... was concealed from Sato. This was not intentional on Nanami's part. The reason he did so was simply because he hadn't figured out how to explain these aspects.

Next Monday is the official date of my appointment. Even if I can still conceal it now...it will be completely exposed one day in the future.

He had no intention of waiting for that day to come, so...

Today is the date for that explanation.

The date on which the identity of the 'store manager' is announced.

After waking up, Nanami had already made up her mind on these matters.

so......

"Good morning, sugar."

The eyes reflected in the gaze... were now staring at the face as usual.

The surroundings were filled with quietness...it seemed as if the flow of air had been slowed down.

In this state, I chose to be the first to speak and break the atmosphere...

This behavior made him feel a certain sense of uneasiness and strangeness.

"Literati...what's wrong?"

The time to wake up...Sugar can always come earlier.

I opened my eyes and found that the other person was staring straight ahead without saying a word... This same moment happens almost every day.

Nanami has basically gotten used to this kind of behavior.

Although I was shocked when I first faced him...I thought he had a weird habit of sleeping with his eyes open.

"I...I have something important to tell you. I've thought about confessing to you before, but I never made up my mind."

"Really? So you've made up your mind now?"

"Yes, I don't intend to hide it from you, I...actually..."

"Actually, he's the manager of the 'Mei' coffee shop...right?"

The words she was about to say were answered by the other party at this moment. Nanami looked at the cold face in front of her that showed no change in expression and made a sound of "eh" in surprise.

This...is actually known?

Satou ignored him and buried her face in his chest... and then began to explain.

"I actually... I noticed it a long time ago. You came back much later than usual, and you smelled very much like coffee... So I guessed it then."

"My mother inherited the coffee shop... It is an important memory, so I am very happy to see that important memories are being maintained and that the writer can make this choice."

Satou buried her cheek in his chest... Nanami now had a sense of illusion about the speed at which events were unfolding.

In this case... nothing is done.

Sando-san managed to do everything by herself.

"So fast, I thought you would be angry, after all, I kept this matter hidden for so long."

Nanami put her hand on the other person's shoulder. At this moment, Sato was still maintaining the same "frank and honest" image as last night. If she accidentally touched other parts... it would probably trigger a chain reaction.

Such persistence may seem unnecessary to others, but when facing Sucrose who reveals her "true side", he believes that it is meaningful to do so.

Generally speaking, in-depth communication can only be carried out after mutual understanding.

Nanami admitted that maybe he was just conservative, but... he was always very serious about things that others thought were unnecessary.

From now on, try to understand each other more.

He tightened the hug.

Chapter 272 The decision to take a hot spring bath

Nanami woke up faster than before and had more choices for breakfast. He was already tired of toast...so the food he prepared today, in addition to the basic fried eggs, also included miso soup made from tofu and pickled radish.

After all, it is just a simple breakfast and there is no need to have high expectations like lunch and dinner.

"I'm gonna start now."

It was a rare quiet moment for them to sit together and enjoy breakfast. While enjoying tofu miso soup, Nanami was making the final decision in her mind.

Proposing to take a hot spring bath with a girl... This was the first time for him to do such a thing. The reason for his hesitation was not because he was worried about being rejected, but because... To say such words, he needed a certain amount of courage, and he would be faced with an even more difficult choice at that time.

Since the idea of ​​'bathing in a hot spring' was proposed, it also meant that... we would inevitably be able to be honest with each other.

Moreover, they were in a completely closed space, so... Nanami had a clear premonition that when things developed to that extent, in-depth communication between them would be inevitable.

It really makes me hesitate...

"If you have anything you want to explain to me, you can say it now."

A voice suddenly appeared in her ear... Nanami raised her cheeks in time to react, but there was no way anyone else would appear in the living room where she and Sato were alone.

Knowing this, he immediately focused his attention on Sugar, who was enjoying her breakfast in silence.

"Um...what do those words just now mean?"

While feeling slightly surprised, Nanami had the thought that 'maybe Sato-san has always mastered the ability to read minds'.

Being able to perceive other people's inner thoughts so accurately...if it were just relying on one's sixth sense...it would simply be unreasonable.

“That’s what it means on the surface.”

Sugar stopped chewing and wiped his lips with a napkin.

"You are amazing. I have indeed thought about these aspects, and you have guessed it."

It's really unusual, such a keen intuition.

"This is not a guess. It is an answer I got based on solid evidence and...some irrelevant intuition."

"Evidence? What do you mean...?"

Like a teacher who is giving a lecture, Sugar began to put on a serious attitude that is only seen in teachers.

"I wonder if the scholars have noticed that... whenever you feel hesitant about something, you will frown. I think this behavior is obvious at a glance, and it's easy to guess your inner thoughts."

"...I see. So it's the body's subconscious actions that are happening."

At this moment, Nanami began to admire the other person.

And Sugar continued to preach like her predecessor.

"It's not a good idea to show your reaction on your face too much. After all, it's easy for the other party to see what's going on inside. In my opinion, it's no different from showing weakness."

"Thank you... I always feel... it's amazing."

As a member of society, she was lectured by students... Nanami felt deeply benefited by this experience.

In addition-

I've always wanted to talk to the other person about this matter, so I might as well explain it now.

Then, Nanami suddenly put on a determined expression.

"Well, I feel a little embarrassed, but after all, it has come to this point... there is no need to persist."

He took a deep breath and was about to explain when he heard a dull sound of an object falling to the ground.

The shopping malls near the apartment have been undergoing construction work recently, and Nanami has no intention of paying any attention to such matters.

But...the deep purple pupils of Sandu, who was sitting opposite him, underwent a slight change.

"Nanaha, you should have heard the sound just now, right?"

"Yes, there is construction going on at a nearby shopping mall. I guess it's the noise from the materials being moved."

“It always feels weird.”
