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
“Wow! Look, look!
There are so many autumn leaves!”
“It’s true.”
I can see a little autumn foliage near the house where I live now, but I can’t see this many autumn leaves, and I should say that the area near the famous sightseeing spot is well prepared.
Senpai and I headed towards the tourist attractions while looking at the autumn leaves along the way.
“Ah, look! There’s the famous shrine!”
“It’s true.”
It’s a huge crowd, it must be quite popular after all.
Some of them seemed to be tourists from overseas, and it was a place for cross-cultural exchange.
“From what I’ve learned beforehand, it’s for academic success, business, traffic, health, and… love.”
Senpai is a bit fidgety.
She wants to go to the toilet… I can at least understand that it’s not a reason, but I’m sure there’s something that senpai just said that she wants to accomplish.
If that’s the case…
“why don’t we go and pray for something too?”
“Eh, Is that okay?”
“Yes, fortunately there are a lot of people who have gathered to take photos and so on, but it’s not the season for Hatsumode, so there doesn’t seem to be that much of a queue for prayers.”
“Yay!
Then let’s go!”
After taking my hand, senpai lined up for the prayer area.
It didn’t take long before it was our turn to go to the prayer area.
Senpai and I put in the coins, then put our hands together and prayed.
The content of the prayer was decided when we were standing in line.
“(Please let me and senpai have a long and happy life)”
If it’s no coincidence that I’m here praying for something with senpai, then this prayer is probably the most important thing for me right now.
…I wonder what senpai is praying for.
“(May no one who likes Arata-kun appear around Arata-kun, may Arata-kun get over his respect and admiration for me and replace it with a romantic liking, may he think he likes me, may Arata-kun become attached to me, may I be able to stay happily with Arata-kun for a long time)”.
Even after I had finished praying, senpai continued to pray for a while.
… I’m sure it was something she wanted to pray for a long time.
After 30 seconds of continued prayer after I had finished praying, Senpai turned to me with a smile.
“Well then, let’s go out to eat or something!”
“Right!”
Senpai and I came to a famous eating spot in this area.
This place has an atmosphere that feels like Japan from hundreds of years ago, not just a long time ago, and it has a really Japanese feel and is refreshing.
“Hey there, young lovers, do you want to come by my place for a bit?”
“……”
“Hey~”
“Eh, you mean us…?!”
“Who else?”
It’s true that there are no young lovers around, but…
“Umm, we’re not lovers. ────”
Eeeh? what kind of shop is this~?”
“Hey, wait”
Senpai grabbed my arm and led me straight towards the old lady’s shop.
Ten minutes later.
“Dumplings are really tasty, aren’t they?~”
“Yes, these Mitarashi dumplings are delicious.”
“Really? aahn~”
“Eh…”
I look around.
There are no people around, but…
“Senpai, um, ────”
“Ahhn~”
“……”
Since senpai was getting into that kind of atmosphere, I reluctantly put the mitarashi in her mouth.
“Delicious…?”
“….Yes! It’s delicious!”
Senpai swallowed the dumplings with relish, but perhaps because she ate them in a way she normally doesn’t, she had some of the sauce from the dumplings on her mouth.
“Senpai, you have some Mitarashi sauce on your mouth.”
When I put my hand over my mouth and said this, Senpai blushed and turned her face away from me, but it seemed that she had already finished removing the sauce and immediately turned back to me.
When I looked at her mouth, the sauce was no longer there.
“….I’d like to ask you a favour, Arata-kun.”
“What is it?”
“That old lady seemed to think we were lovers, so… just in this street, well… can we hold hands?”
“E-Ehh!?
With senpai?!”
“No?”
I remember being hugged by senpai during a part-time break like this before.
Maybe it’s just a coincidence, but I’m in a similar situation again…I don’t particularly dislike it, but that’s what lovers do.
It’s not something we do.
But if you ask me if I don’t like it or not, I don’t hate it… I don’t have a choice anymore when the question is asked.
“I don’t mind.”
“Then it’s good…!”
Senpai and I held hands for a while and ate while walking.
…I didn’t really realize it, but maybe it really is lovers play.
And since it was almost night time, senpai and I headed back to the inn.
