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.
When I came to the meeting place that senpai told me to come to, she was smiling at me the last time we met privately for the first time, but now she didn’t smile or even show her face and pulled my hand and brought me to a place where there was a building but not many people.
And her first words were…
“What do you mean!?”
.
“Well… what do I mean…? It’s exactly what I explained in my email yesterday…”
What I explained to senpai yesterday was that my sister was against my part-time job and wanted to keep it hidden, and a light introduction of her.
As I had never told senpai about my family before, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do so.
“I didn’t find the information I wanted in your email, so I called Arata kun today! The truth is, I don’t want to ruin Arata-kun’s holiday, when he was studying so hard yesterday, by calling him out, you know?”
Ah… so there’s a way to be considerate like that.
Even senpai who can give consideration that I can’t think of, the information that make her call me out, what on earth is it..
“Don’t worry about that… so what is that information?”
“About Arata-kun’s sister!”
“About my sister…?”
What was the problem with my sister?
“Of course, I’m not angry at you for hiding the fact that you have an older sister. I didn’t ask and I don’t think it’s worth mentioning.”
“Y-Yes.”
If she goes that far, I don’t even know what she wants to say, but as I can tell from the way she speaks, she seems angry about something.
“But! That definitely didn’t make her feel like an older sister, right? There were other things like touching Arata kun’s face and other things!”
“Even if you say so… she’s my sister…”
“I’m not saying that..! Besides! That’s your sister’s smell!”
“Smell…?”
I thought she had calmed down once, but she brought up the subject of smells again.
“That smell, it’s the smell on Arata-kun’s uniform!”
“Ah…yeah, then like I said, it’s not like someone hugged me after all, it’s just that the smell of the laundry was transferred, wasn’t it?”
“I told you, it wasn’t because it were overlapping, it was because she was hugging you and trying to leave a scent on you.”
“You said that… but I didn’t get hugged by her.”
It’s true that sometimes, like yesterday, my sister wants to hug me, but when she actually tries to hug me, I firmly refuse.
“…I see.”
Senpai stopped following up as if she had given up.
On the other hand, I’m a little confused, but since I haven’t told a lie, there’s nothing I can do about it.
“…Senpai, is this the end of the conversation?”
I ask to dispel the awkward atmosphere.
” …No, I still have more to tell you.”
“Eh..?”
“…What do you think about your sister, Arata-kun?”
“Well… she can study well, she’s kind to me, and although she can be weird sometimes, I think she’s a good sister.”
“…What about me then?”
From talking about my sister, now she’s suddenly talking about herself…? The order of the stories was so sudden that I couldn’t understand them, and it seemed like she was probably angry about something, and I think this was mostly because she was talking emotionally rather than having a logical conversation.
I could tell her that, but respect… is a no, I don’t want to do that to senpai who has always been there for me.
“I also think of senpai as a really good person who can study and work and is kind to everyone too.”
“…too?”
It seems like senpai had some doubts about what I said.
“It’s just me… isn’t it? I’m replaceable for Arata-kun?”
“Replaceable… eh?
How can that be? Senpai is ───”
I was about to say words like respect'' andadmiration” all at once, but then I remembered what she said to me in my room earlier.
“Don’t do that, every time you say that I feel like I’m being stabbed with a knife.”
…If someone said that to me, there’s no way I could say it.
I don’t want to stab her with a knife because she is a senpai whom I respect and admire.
“……”
“…Before, when Arata-kun said he wanted to be someone I could be close to, I was really happy, maybe the second happiest thing in my life.”
“Yes…”
“But… if that’s a replaceable existence, I don’t want to be like that… more, I want to be the one and only for Arata-kun.”
The one and only…?
“…Remember the other day when I asked you how you’d feel if I had a boyfriend?”
That was also in my room, when I said that of course I would support that question because it’s about senpai, whom I respect, she said the words I remembered from earlier.
“…of course, I remember.”
“…I didn’t answer that question because I wasn’t asked. But what would I think if Arata-kun had a girlfriend?”
“Ah…”
When I heard that, the first thing I imagined was senpai’s response.
[I’m going to be a little sad, but I’ll still support you, Arata-kun, because you’re my precious junior! If you ever have any problems, as I said before, you can talk to me about anything!]
This was the case, but in reality it was different.
The actual senpai…
“I don’t want Arata-kun to have a girlfriend… I couldn’t say this because I thought it would destroy the gentle me inside him, but I don’t want Arata-kun to have a girlfriend, I don’t want it!”
“Eh… w-why?”
We’re talking about senpai, and I know that just because she doesn’t have a boyfriend doesn’t mean she doesn’t like it because it would be frustrating for her junior to have one first.
“I don’t want Arata-kun to have a girlfriend, I absolutely hate it!”
“So why…?”
“Why can’t you understand?
Arata-kun’s an idiot!”
“Idiot…!
It’s true that I may not be smarter than senpai, but I’m not that stupid. ────”
“That’s not the kind of idio!
Ah~! Mouu! Really stupid!”
We continued this exchange for a while, and then we started to feel… stupid, and we were both laughing together.
“Haaa~ weird! Arata-kun, we’re outside here you know?”
“No, it’s senpai!”
“Well, Arata-kun will have some study time at home soon, so don’t let anyone else teach you anything other than me, okay?”
“I don’t really understand…Okay, I’ll wait until Senpai tells me.”
For me, senpai is an irreplaceable person, and she was offended earlier because I didn’t communicate well, but that hasn’t changed.
The only thing is… somewhere I thought that what senpai was saying wasn’t wrong either.
That’s why… since I said I wanted to become a familiar presence, I want to know more about senpai and myself.
Beyond that… what is waiting for me?
“Ah! I said earlier that I was the second happiest person in my life when Arata-kun said he wanted to become someone I could be close to… but the number one thing is that I got to meet ──── Arata-kun.”
“Eh…?”
Senpai laughed and smiled as if to cover up her embarrassment.
I told her how I feel about senpai, but senpai… how does she feel about me?
I was strangely thinking about such things without even realizing it myself.
