Tokyo: About My Yandere Girlfriend

Nanami Fumito skillfully reached out his hand to Arisu Sato's back and took out the towel that was padding inside.

"If I have any problems with my body like Arisu in the future, I hope you can take care of me like I took care of you."

After seeing Arisu-san's health improve, I unconsciously felt much better.

After helping the other person to the bathroom door, Nanami closed the door, leaned against the wall, and stared at Tokyo covered by sticky darkness.

Only the neon lights on the tall buildings in the distance were still flashing. Tokyo was quite quiet at four in the morning.

anyway--

"This is the first time I've stayed up this late."

"It's my first experience staying up all night, but it's not bad."

---------

"As for Arisu, she should have quite a lot of close friends at school."

"After all, Arisu seems like the kind of girl who's easy to get along with."

Looking at Arisu Sato's smooth back without any obstruction.

Nanami Fumito wiped it carefully with a wet towel, and the gentle movements of his hands were just like he was handling a very rare food ingredient.

"Friends?... No, why would Nanami think I'm the type that gets along easily with others?"

"It's my intuition. Besides, I'm always very good at judging people."

"You're so confident, but the answer is completely different from Nanami's guess."

"I see."

Nanami stopped wiping and placed the sweat-stained towel aside.

"Perhaps, Arisu can try to make some friends. High school life would be quite incomplete without friends."

"......Yeah."

"That's it."

Chapter 34 Hostility

The first time I woke up at four in the morning, I was in a room covered with cold air. The temperature drop during the rainy season always felt unexpected.

Perhaps it was the caffeine that had taken effect. Even though I should have fallen into a deep sleep, I couldn't feel sleepy at all.

"It would be better if Arisu puts on a coat."

Nanami Fumito looked at Arisu Sato who was sitting next to him without saying a word.

In order to make Arisu-san recover completely, and in order not to use 'antipyretic suppositories' on Arisu-san in the future, Nanami has now made the necessary preparations.

"No, this is fine."

She responded with a rather stubborn tone, and Arisu-san's insistent way of doing things seemed to be something that people were used to.

Nanami, who knew this very well, did not intend to explain some simple truths to the other party, but took off the suit she was wearing on the outside and put it on Arisu.

The suit, which still retains body temperature, covers the upper body, and the reassuring warmth gradually spreads throughout the body.

Feeling his heartbeat quicken, Arisu subconsciously lowered his face.

"Can you... come closer to Nanami?"

He glanced at Nanami's profile, which didn't show much emotion.

Although he could clearly sense that his original thoughts had undergone a subtle change, Arisu still spoke frankly about his inner thoughts.

"Well, if you feel cold, you can get closer—"

The words stopped abruptly.

Looking at Arisu Sato who rested her cheek on her shoulder, Nanami's lips remained slightly open at the sudden movement.

I always feel——

There is an indescribable strange feeling.

——This way of getting along.

"Does Arisu have a crush on a boy?"

Nanami really didn't dare to look directly at Arisu-san who was leaning her cheek on her shoulder, so she simply focused her attention on the closed wooden door at the entrance.

"...there are no boys in the school."

"Of course I understand that, but - has Arisu never had contact with other boys and developed feelings of admiration for them? It's normal for such a thing to happen in other places."

Face the questions raised.

Arisu Sato's response remained the same as before.

After saying "There is no such thing" in a calm tone, he took his left hand into his arms.

The soft touch conveyed by the arm caused Nanami Fumito's thoughts to freeze for a moment.

I really don't understand.

Why is Arisu-san so keen on this behavior?

——Arisu, who originally showed aversion to physical contact, now shows such dependence. What happened to cause such a big change in Arisu's personality?

Nanami was really confused about this aspect.

---------

Five o'clock.

After sitting for a whole hour, the numbness and soreness in his legs made Nanami Fumito frown.

"Arisu, can you let me stand for a while? My legs are numb and it's really uncomfortable."

"......oh."

My left hand, which had been held in Arisu-san's arms for an hour, was finally freed.

After stretching his tired limbs, Nanami suddenly remembered something very important.

Oh, the pajamas that Yukiko-senpai borrowed should be washed.

It would be too rude to return it like this.

"I'm going to clean the pajamas that Arisu-san changed out of, and then I'll leave the task of returning them to you. After all, Yukiko-senpai is very concerned about your condition."

"...Oh, no problem."

"You should thank Yukiko-senpai very much. I asked her to buy the medicine for you, and I also borrowed the thermometer from you."

"understood."

With a slight impatience on her face, Arisu Sato stood up and walked straight towards the bedroom.

He buried his body in the quilt, but his tightly furrowed brows still did not relax at all.

I don't like this feeling.

It's as if the thing you love has been taken away by others, and all you can do is watch everything happen before your eyes.

absolute.

Definitely something has to change.

Arisu turned his attention to the lit screen of his phone on the bedside table.

Nanami's cell phone...

Maybe we can find something in there.

---------

After breakfast, it was almost nine o'clock.

After assigning the task of "returning the pajamas" to Arisu Sato, Nanami Fumito gave her a thumbs up.

"You should thank Yukiko-senpai very much. Besides, she is a girl worth making friends with. Arisu needs to maintain a good relationship with her."

"understood."

After repeating this over and over again, Arisu opened the door to the entrance and stopped in front of the doorplate with 'Yukiko' on it.

After ringing the doorbell and listening to the footsteps getting closer inside, Arisu Sato still maintained a calm expression.

click -

The door was slightly opened.

"Oh, it's Arisu-san. I think you're feeling a little better now."

I opened the door with a smile, but the smile on the other person's face was really offensive.

After returning the pajamas in her hand, Arisu Sato stood on tiptoe and looked out at the living room shrouded in darkness.

"Can I come in and sit for a minute?"

"Oh—no problem."

Yukiko Yumi turned her body sideways to make enough space for entry and exit, but the smile on her face remained unchanged.

pat-

The fluorescent lights above my head then came on.

"How long have Yukiko and Nanami... known each other?"

Sitting on the carpet as if no one was around, without caring about the guest's identity at all, Arisu's tone was still as hostile as before.

"Oh, we've known each other for about two years, um, as colleagues."

"Did Yukiko date Nanami?"

"......Eh?"

The topic that Arisu suddenly brought up caused Yukiko, who was smiling, to freeze her expression for a moment.

"No... Nanami and I are not in that kind of relationship. Besides... I'm already 27 years old, six years older than Nanami. It's not appropriate for me to be a dating partner."
