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
“Senpai, I need to talk to you about something, is now a good time?”
“Eh? Yes, it’s fine but… what’s wrong?”
For about half a year after I entered this part-time job, I was trying to tell Hiori Kureha-senpai, who taught me, a second-year high school student with no part-time job experience, the job description from end to end, the very first thing I had to tell her.
“Senpai has taught me everything I need to know so far in this part-time job.”
She is a senpai whom I really admire.
“What’s wrong? You suddenly changed your mind!”
Senpai had a cheerful personality, just like her bright red hair and orange eyes, and she was a kind senpai who laughed and overlooked any mistakes I made.
“So I’m grateful to senpai… I thought I should be telling you this first”
“Tell me what?”
“──── I’m quitting this part-time job.”
“….Eh”
Senpai showed an unusually upset look.
That’s natural, but if a junior who has been working with her for a long time says he’s quitting without any prior notice, no matter how cheerful senpai is, she’ll probably get a little confused.
“W-why did you quit? Was there something wrong with my teaching method?”
“Absolutely not!”
I strongly deny it.
It’s not that the way she taught me was bad; in fact, her way of teaching was so good that I always thought it was a bad idea to have her spend all her time on me.
“Then why?”
“Because… actually I’m moving and I won’t be able to come here anymore, so I’ve decided to start working part-time again somewhere closer to where I’m moving.”
“…does that mean that at your next job you’ll be taught by another woman, not me, to do the job again?”
“Eh, a woman…?
I don’t know the gender yet, but I think that’s what will happen if I decide to start a part-time job.”
The part-time job here was in the kitchen, but in terms of gaining experience, I want to work in customer service next, so I’ll still have someone to teach me.
“No, you can’t do that.”
Senpai looks at me as if she’s looking at me but not at me.
“Even if you say no… of course I don’t want to quit either, but there’s nothing I can do about this.”
“That’s not what I meant, you can’t have anyone other than me teaching you how to do your job.”
“…Of course I respect and admire senpai, but aren’t you and I just like seniors and juniors at our part-time jobs?”
The moment I released those words, as if something had snapped inside Senpai, Senpai erased the highlights from her eyes.
“…Hee, I see, to Arata-kun I’m just that much of a woman.”
“That much…? No, I truly respect and admire senpai——”
“I don’t need those words.”
Senpai held my chin in her right hand and looked into my eyes.
“Senpai…?”
“I understand, I’ve always known that you’ve always thought of me as senior and junior, and I tried to hold back in case Arata kun felt that way, but when it comes down to it, I just can’t hold back.”
“P-please calm down, senpai.”
Maybe Senpai cared about me more than I expected, or at least looking at her face, she looked the most upset I’d ever seen her
“I can’t calm down, how can you calm down, Arata-kun?”
“I’m not calm either, but even if the distance is the worst in this day and age, we can still contact each other on our phones or whatever.”
“I won’t be able to see you, you know?”
“…When I’m become a university student, I’ll go to see you then.”
It seems that Senpai is currently a second year university student, so even when I become a university student, she should still be barely a university student.
“Then does that mean I won’t see you for another two years?”
“When you say two years, it’s already autumn, so I have about a year and a half to go.”
“I’m not saying that…”
Senpai tried to raise her voice louder, but stopped mid-sentence.
“…yes, it’s something that can’t be helped.”
It pains me to say this, but I can’t deny it even if I wanted to.
“…Have you already decided where you’re going to work next, or if you’re going to move, where you’re going to change schools?”
“Yes, I’ve already decided.”
‘Then send me a message about that place later! I’d like to take a quick peek next time!”
Senpai returned to being the usual senpai.
…As someone who knows senpai, I know that this is only on the surface, but it is proof that she has calmed down enough to repair the surface.
“Okay, I’ll send it to you later.”
I went home after that and sent my next part-time job and my new school to senpai as promised.
…Senpai was more upset than I expected, so I had to calm her down, but I also feel really lonely.
“…But I can’t help it.”
The reason we moved in the first place was because of my parents’ work, and there was nothing I could do about it…my sister was also a bit of a reason.
“…When you’re alone, you think about all the things you can’t help thinking about.”
It’s a bad habit, I’m going to bed today.
A month later… I quit my part-time job and completed the move as planned.
Shortly afterwards, something unexpected happened.
