Mygo, are you all yanderes?

Ignoring the embarrassment on Shiina Ritsuki's face and the steam that seemed to be rising from her head, Kusano Akira moved his face closer with concern.

It would have been fine if she hadn't gotten close, but now that she was, Shiina Tatsuki felt more than just the warmth of his breath. She could now see clearly everything about Kusano Akira's face, including the pores, the fine hairs, the length of his eyelashes, and the condition of his skin.

May nights in Tokyo should be the most comfortable time of day, or even the year, with neither the scorching summer sun nor the biting winter frost. However, Shiina Tatsuki was completely unable to appreciate this beautiful weather.

The once crisp and plentiful air had turned into scorching flames. With each breath, the body grew hotter, and the heart beat much faster than before. The vision that had finally cleared became blurry again, and everything in sight gradually went out of focus, leaving only the face in front of me, which was a hundred times clearer than ever before.

"you……"

Trembling, Shiina Ritsuki's eyes widened, her teeth clenched tightly around her lower lip, and her hands quietly pressed against Kusano Akira's chest.

"Me?" (Transfer group: ●※＜∥)

"You stay away from me!"

With her delicate, boneless hands moving the barely noticeable muscles in her arms, Shiina Tatsuki blushed and shouted as she pushed Kusano Akira to the ground. She herself lost her footing as Kusano Akira stepped back and fell to the ground.

"No, why did you push me?"

Pushed to the ground by Shiina Tatsuki, Kusano Akira braced himself with his left hand and slowly propped himself up. Looking at Shiina Tatsuki, who was also sitting on the ground, he said in pain.

"Why am I here?! What did you do to me?!"

Shiina Tatsuki clenched her fists, held her arm across her face to hide her embarrassment, and spoke in a trembling voice. Although her voice was loud, it completely lacked the competence and decisiveness she should have.

Shiina Tatsuki is very scared and nervous right now.

In the last fragment of her memory, she was probably at home, simply fixing music, planning to take a break, and spending the weekend as usual.

But to my surprise, when I woke up, my body felt even more tired than before, and I found myself nestled in Kusano Akira's arms right there on the street.

She hadn't fully accepted the fact that she was using Kusano Akira to generate electricity when she suddenly found herself in Kusano Akira's arms, with his face so close to hers.

Why are they so close? Are they going to kiss? What else could it be? Are they really going to kiss here? But their relationship isn't that close yet, is it? Although I do think I did something wrong to him, if I don't remember, it shouldn't count, right? Why are their faces getting closer and closer? This can't be right!

9 In this tangled mental storm, Shiina Tatsuki's body and subconscious made an instinctive decision to seek advantage and avoid harm—to push Kusano Akira away.

4. "Huh? What did you say? Weren't you the one who came to find me?"

Kusano Akira stood up, brushing the dust off her clothes, but stopped in her tracks when she heard Shiina Tatsuki's words, looking at her with disbelief.

4. "Huh? You said I came to see you...!?"

3. "Yeah, didn't you say you were coming to ask me a few questions?"

5. Kusano Akira walked over to Shiina Tatsuki, extended his hand to her, and said this.

6. "...Don't come any closer! My mind is a bit muddled!"

4. When Shiina Tatsuki saw Kusano Akira come up to her again, and this time he reached out to her from above, Shiina Tatsuki shrank her legs uncomfortably.

"Let's get up from the ground first, and then we can talk as we walk to the hospital."

Kusano Akira moved his outstretched hand toward Shiina Tatsuki, and seeing that she didn't intend to take it, he sighed helplessly, took her small hand in his own, ignored her weak resistance, tightened his grip slightly, and pulled her up from the ground.

Why go to the hospital?

The moment he stood up, Shiina Tatsuki pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, closed his eyes and silently recited the lyrics of "Spring Shadow," forcing himself to ignore the lingering warmth in his palm. But when he heard Kusano Akira's words, his eyes, which he had just closed, snapped open again.

Volume 1: Chapter 184 (2k)

"If you don't go to the hospital soon, you're doomed. You're fainting and can't remember anything."

After pressing his brow to relieve his fatigue, Kusano Akira sighed.

"You said you fainted and couldn't remember... I don't understand..."

Kusano Akira's words made Shiina Tatsuki even more confused about her current situation.

"I should have been resting at home, so why did I find you and me on the street the moment I closed my eyes? Kusano, what's going on?"

Like Kusano Akira, Shiina Tatsuki patted the dust off his clothes from the fall. His mind was a complete mess, and the more he thought about it, the less he could understand the logic. So he gave up and asked Kusano Akira instead.

The other person seemed to know more than she did; asking him was better than wandering around aimlessly.

"..."

Kusano Akira stared intently at Shiina Tatsuki without saying a word. After a long while, he stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her.

"Lixi, what number is this?"

"...?"

What foolish thing are you doing?

"No, you suddenly said that you were at home a second ago and now you don't know anything. I suspect that your high-intensity work has caused some brain problems."

Kusano Akira then extended a second finger.

"Lixi, how many is this?"

"..."

Shiina Tatsuki wanted to swear.

"I'm not stupid, don't worry. Instead, you should tell me what happened first."

Swallowing the profanities that were about to burst from his mouth, Shiina Ritsuki silently repeated "he probably didn't do it on purpose" several times before calmly asking again.

However, its fist was already clenched tightly, indicating that its owner was not in a calm state of mind.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop fooling around."

Upon accidentally noticing Shiina Tatsuki's clenched fist, Kusano Akira, while feeling terrified, calmly took two steps back and withdrew his two fingers.

He'll definitely die. If this keeps up, he'll definitely die. He can't even handle the two delicate beauties, Takamatsu Akari and Wakaba Mutsu, or people like Nagasaki Motoyo who don't seem to be good at sports. Not to mention Shiina Tatsuki, who looks like she comes from a yakuza family.

"To put it simply, it's about you and me, blah blah blah..." Qi

Kusano Akira succinctly recounted what had just happened.

"……"as well as

Shiina Tatsuki fell silent after hearing this.

"So, you mean I traveled all this way just to ask you about your relationships with other people, and then before I even finished asking, I stumbled and tried to run away, only to faint first? You were holding me just now because you thought something was wrong with me and wanted to check if I was okay. You almost called an ambulance, but I woke up before you could?"

Like reciting a tongue twister, Shiina Tatsuki repeated everything Kusano Akira had told her in one breath.

"Sodayo." (Sigh)

Kusano Akira nodded.

"That's why I thought you were having some kind of brain problem. Look, suddenly fainting and then suddenly losing your memory—if I didn't know you weren't the type to joke around, I would have thought this was some kind of prank you were playing on me." (Lin)

"...Kusano, I'm sorry about earlier."

After learning the whole story, Shiina Tatsuki felt embarrassed once again, but this time it wasn't because of some ambiguous misunderstanding, but simply because she felt awkward.

"Sorry for what?"

"It's about that time you were worried about me, but I pushed you to the ground."

"Oh, this? No, it's not related—it's very related."

Kusano Akira raised an eyebrow slightly, intending to say that he didn't care about it, but when he noticed Shiina Tatsuki's embarrassed expression, a playful thought struck him, and he immediately stopped what he was about to say.

They completely forgot that someone's fists looked like the kind that would hurt a lot when they hit someone.

"What you did has caused me great psychological trauma. If one day my heart is completely closed off and I can no longer love, then it will definitely be inextricably linked to you. Lixi, how do you think you should make it up to me?"

"...Then you push it back?"

There are people in this world who are serious and meticulous in their work, practically born workaholics. But these people also have their flaws. While we can't deny their flaws, most of them aren't good at joking. So when faced with people who like to be quirky, they often feel at a loss, unsure how to respond to match the other person's thought process.

Shiina Tatsuki happens to be someone with this trait. Her overly serious personality makes her not very tactful, so she naturally doesn't quite catch other people's jokes.

Just like now, she could tell that Kusano Akira was joking with her on purpose, but she didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a long time, she could only say this dry sentence.

"Very good, then stand still, I'm about to begin."

But coincidentally, Kusano Akira is a character who is used to awkward silences, and because of his own experience, he has studied this situation many times.

Kusano Akira rubbed his palms together and walked up to Shiina Tatsuki with a mischievous grin.

"..."

With her lips slightly parted, Shiina Tatsuki looked at Kusano Akira with a hint of shock in her eyes.

Shouldn't this be the end of it? Or at least they should both feel awkward for a bit? Why does this person seem so eager to back down?

Is she really going to be pushed down again?

With utmost respect, as if he were about to complete some sacred mission, Kusano Akira stood before Shiina Tatsuki, raising his hands high.

As Kusano Akira raised his hands, Shiina Tatsuki's breathing became heavier and heavier. Her eyes lingered on his hands for a moment, and finally, just as they were about to fall, she panicked and tried to call for Kusano Akira to stop.

Unfortunately, Kusano Akira didn't give her a chance to refuse, and his arm descended at an even faster speed than before.

"Wait a minute, I think... ouch!"

Seeing the action about to happen right in front of her, Shiina Tatsuki subconsciously closed her eyes. But unlike what she had imagined, she did not feel the weightlessness. Instead, she felt an itchy sensation in her ears.

Shiina Tatsuki let out a soft cry as her sensitive earlobe was repeatedly teased by a light object that, for some reason, resembled a feather but wasn't quite accurate.

She opened her eyes, her brows still trembling slightly from nervousness. Before her was Kusano Akira's mischievous smile and his right hand placed next to her ear.

"Ha, ha, ha, how about that? You were startled, weren't you?"

With his right hand tightly gripping a strand of green hair, Kusano Akira winked his left eye at Shiina Tatsuki and said with a smile.

Author's note: This passage feels a bit familiar...

There will be more in a while

Volume 1: Chapter 185. Let's go to the hospital together (2k)

"...You bastard...!"

Shiina Tatsuki really couldn't hold back this time. He clenched his fist tightly, and the gaps between his bones squeezed together, making a 'crunching' sound, which made Kusano Akira tremble with fear.

"Wait, I was wrong! This is really the last time, please forgive me!"

After carefully putting away the strand of hair that Wakaba Mutsu had given him as a 'gift', Kusano Akira quickly raised his hands and expressed his apology with sincere eyes.

"...What did you do wrong?"

The sneakers stomped heavily on the tiles. With each step Shiina Ritsuki took forward, Kusano Akira took a step back. Finally, they were stuck with nowhere to retreat. The fabric of their jackets clung tightly to the cold wall, making a rustling sound. Shiina Ritsuki reached out and pressed his arm hard against Kusano Akira's ear, who was starting to panic.

"...Um, Lixi's search group ∮:启牭◇※∶<⊥起＞ has cracked... Hahaha..."

Kusano Akira swallowed the dryness in his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbing. He carefully poked the soft, white hand by his ear and looked at Shiina Tatsuki with embarrassment.

Where Shiina Riki's hand touched the wall, cracks spread out, and the crushed pebbles fell to the ground under the force of gravity.

Where is it cracked?

"Um, the wall or something, right...? It's not good to press it down any further, okay? Okay, let's let go..."

"I can't hear you."

Shiina Tatsuki moved his hand, which was pressed against the wall, closer to Kusano Akira's ear.

"Wait, I really know I was wrong this time, please don't do this to me!"

Kusano Akira began to regret his loose tongue. He had clearly seen Shiina Tatsuki clench his fist just now, so why couldn't he learn his lesson and continue to be so arrogant?

Shiina Tatsuki's eyes are so fierce now, it's like he's about to devour him!

"So where did you go wrong?"

Shiina Tatsuki didn't continue to exert force, but deliberately glared at him and asked another question.

Although the building behind him was an old building that looked quite old, with countless marks left by time, Shiina Riki still understood that he couldn't cause any damage. What he had just done was the most he could do.

To be honest, she didn't intend to crack the wall when she first pressed it. Who would have thought that the wall was of such poor quality? It was just a casual press and it was like this.

However, the effect was quite good. Just a little scare and Kusano Akira turned into this state, which looked rather amusing.

"I... I was wrong to make such a thoughtless joke with Lord Shiina Tatsuki, disturbing your peace. I won't trouble you to do it yourself; my blood will only dirty your hands. I'll take my own life in a moment. Please spare such an insignificant person as me for now...!"

Zero Kusano Akira tried to crouch down and escape from Shiina Tatsuki's wall slam, but he didn't expect that Shiina Tatsuki had anticipated this and blocked his escape space with his knee in advance. Helpless, he could only blink hard and try to use the tears he forced out to deceive Shiina Tatsuki into feeling sorry for him.

Si Yao said that people with a psychic personality might have some strange fetishes. He had never been pinned against a wall many times in his life, but all of that happened in the year he had known them.

And they all happen to be members of Crychic. Is this part of their group rules? — Although almost all of his social interactions are related to Crychic.
