When I Told My Bright and Beautiful Senpai at My Part-Time Job That I Was Quitting My Part-Time Job, She Became a Yandere
“…next day off, huh?”
I was at home, looking at the ceiling, remembering the end of my part-time job yesterday.
“Arata-kun, thanks for your part-time job.”
“Senpai, also, thanks for your hard work.”
As usual, senpai would give me words of appreciation after finishing our part-time job, and I think this kind of small consideration is one of the charms of senpai.
“…Um, hey, it doesn’t mean anything weird, so I want you to calm down and listen to me.”
“Eh?
Yes.”
There’s something strange about senpai, I wonder what she’s going to say.
“If you’re okay with it, why feel good with me…!?”
“Eh? I feel good ────”
“Ahh~!
No, no, no! I made a mistake! No, it’s not that, but if you want, why don’t you go out with me on your next day off?”
Senpai is blushing extremely hard.
I think the fact that she said it wrong is one of the reasons, but above all, as I said before, me and senpai have spent hundreds of hours together at my part-time job, but we’ve never really been in contact in private.
Therefore, no matter how much I am to senpai, I am probably a little nervous.
But it’s not senpai who is nervous, it’s me too.
“Eh… it’s fine, but do you have something to do?”
“Eh, eh!
S-Something!? Er, er… um, yeah, I want to go into the new shop in front of the station, but there’s a lot of couples there…”
“Oh, so that’s what you mean, okay!”
If that’s how it is, there’s no reason to refuse.
I thought that someone might mistake me and senpai for a couple, but since we don’t go to the same school, I don’t think it really matters who sees us.
“…Hey, I want to ask Arata-kun one thing. Does Arata-kun have a crush on any other girls at the same school?”
“I want to say that I do… but I don’t.”
I thought that saying something like this might make her feel bad, but surprisingly, senpai didn’t look particularly cloudy.
“I see! …If you like, I can help you with various things from now on!”
“Eh, Senpai?”
“Am I not good enough…?”
“No, that’s not true!
You are someone I respect, so I’m happy to have you as my adviser!”
I honestly say what I think.
“…Yeah, I’m in your care…Arata-kun.”
The next day, I was going to go out with her, and also I was going to ask her for advice on a lot of things.
…Maybe it’s time for me and senpai to take a step toward a relationship, so I should approach her and get to know her even more.
I had this determination in my heart and the day of the appointment arrived.
“The meeting place was around here, wasn’t it?”
I came twenty minutes earlier than the scheduled meeting time to make sure I couldn’t be late.
…It’s a bit late now, but it’s the first time I’ve gone out together with senpai, even though we’ve been alone for a bit on the way home, and even though she’s someone I’ve met and talked to many times, I’m starting to feel nervous as if I’m meeting her for the first time.
“Senpai.. of course, she’s not here yet ────?”
I took a closer look around and saw someone with prominent red hair and a ponytail…
“She’s already here!?”
I checked the time again.
I was still twenty minutes ahead of the scheduled meeting time.
“I’ve got to get going…”
I rushed to senpai’s place.
“Today, I want you to look at me so much that you don’t even have time to look at other girls, and I want Arata to get rid of the unnecessary concept of seniority and juniority—”
“Hello senpai, I’m sorry for making you wait.”
“──── Arata-kun!? N-No!?
I’m not waiting at all! There’s still about 20 minutes left than planned, it’s early!”
“You’re earlier than me, aren’t you?”
“I’ve just arrived!”
“I-I see.”
If senpai want to push through with it, then let’s do that.
“So, is that the new shop in front of the station you want to go to?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
As far as a shop is concerned, it’s perfect for me.
It might be a good opportunity to have a relaxed conversation and learn more about senpai’s private life.
“Okay, then let’s go.”
Senpai and I headed to a new shop in front of the station together.
The shop is apparently a sweets shop where you can eat a lot of sweet things, mainly cakes.
There are many couples there, as Senpai said, but I think the ratio of women is rather high.
“Inside, shall we go in?”
Once inside, we were shown to our seats and ordered one cake each.
I was wondering how I was going to start the conversation, when senpai started talking to me… but the topic was a bit unexpected.
“Arata kun, Why did you choose to work in hospitality?”
“I used to work in the kitchen, so I thought a new experience in customer service would be good for me.”
“I see…”
It seems like senpai doesn’t understand something.
“Here are two shortcakes.”
It seems that the cake we ordered earlier has arrived. There’s something about shortcake that whets the appetite just by looking at it.
“Oh, yes, are you enjoying your new school?”
“Ah, yes, it’s only been six months since I started second year and the classes are already established, so to be honest, it’s going to take me a little while to fit in, but there are two people who are really willing to talk to me.”
“I see~! I’m glad to hear that! Is it a boy?”
senpai looks happy as if it were her own.
…Really, you’re a good person.
Senpai took a fork and pointed it at the cake.
“One is a boy and the other is a girl.”
The moment I answered that, senpai stabbed the cake with that fork, so messily that I couldn’t believe it was a cake she was about to eat.
“Senpai…?”
“Ah, I’m sorry! I was so absorbed in the story that I didn’t look at my hands properly!…Ah, Arata kun has fresh cream on his cheeks!”
The fresh cream from the cake that Senpai had stabbed seemed to have splashed onto my cheek, so she took it with her index finger and put it in her mouth.
“Eh?”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
There is the usual smiling Senpai, but…
It seemed a little different than usual.
I wouldn’t go so far as to describe it as eerie… or maybe it was just my imagination, but it made me feel something along similar lines.
After that, nothing particularly strange happened, and we slowly chatted, ate our cake and walked out of the shop.
“I see it’s getting to be that time already.”
“Yeah, time flies when you’re having fun!~”
It really does.
“It’s getting dark and it’s dangerous to be alone with high school students, let’s go home!”
“What are you talking about, it’s more dangerous for you than me.”
“Is that so.. hey, Arata-kun.”
“Yeah?”
Senpai took a step closer to me.
Then she looked into my eyes
“Watch me… I’ll always be watching you, Arata-kun.”
“…eh?”
“Bye! Go home, be careful!”
After saying that, senpai waved at me and disappeared towards the station.
I don’t know what that meant now.
