Chapter 1 – Yandere and Visiting
“Good morning! It’s morning already, you know?”
I heard a cheerful voice. It’s a brisk morning. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I walked toward the voice.
“Wake up, you’re going to be late!”
I got it, I got it. I’ll be right there, so please be quiet.
“If you don’t open it in the next ten seconds, you’re in big trouble, okay? One~, two~, three~.”
Clank. I twisted the still cold doorknob.
“I got it, so stop banging on the door.”
“You finally opened the door. Mou~, you’re a terrible person for making a girl wait.”
“Say, do you know what time it is?”
“Eh? It’s 5:00 in the morning, right? Is your clock broken?”
“No, you see, 5 in the morning is the time when everyone is sleeping. I told you before, didn’t I? Stop coming in so early in the morning.”
“How could I forget my senpai’s words? That’s why I was so sorry and have been waiting at the door since last night, you know? I didn’t come early in the morning, I came last night.”
“Do you really think that quibble is going to work?”
“Eh~, I guess this one doesn’t work either…”
This crazy woman is “Honjo Tsubaki”. She is a student one year below me at the same university. She belongs to the literature department and is in a gardening club, but I couldn’t care less. I just want her to stop stalking me.”
“I’m not stalking you, I’m watching over you.”
“Don’t read my mind as if it’s natural.”
“I know what you’re thinking, senpai.”
“I don’t know a single thing about what you’re thinking.”
“What I’m thinking? I’m thinking of nothing but ‘I love senpai’…”
“That’s sickening! Go home!”
“Right, well then, I’m going home.”
Sigh… I felt relieved, but in a short moment, Tsubaki slipped by me and headed toward the back of the house.
“I thought you were going home!”
“This is my second home.”
“When did this become your home! Pay the rent!”
“You don’t mind if I live here as long as I pay you rent!?”
“Get out already, you idiot!”
I took hold of Tsubaki as she tried to sit on the sofa and forced her outside. She said something like, “Oh my, bold…” which of course I ignored. Insects that have entered the room must be removed.
“I’ll see you later. I’m going back to bed.”
“If so, please allow me to join you…”
“Sleep in your own house. Or sleep around there.”
“Ah, yes. I can alway11111s see senpai if I sleep in front of senpai’s door.”
“Don’t complain when you get stepped on.”
“Will you step on me!?”
“Why do you look so happy? That’s disgusting… Hurry up and leave.”
With Tsubaki in my arms, I forcibly opened the door and threw her outside. Dexterously, Tsubaki landed safely from the position in which she was held.
Her unnecessarily long hair softly fluttered in the air.
“Well then, senpai. See you at college.”
“If I see you at college, I’ll ignore you.”
“I’m going to chase you until you answer me.”
“Shut up and go home!”
I violently closed the door. At last, the quiet has returned. Seriously… Ever since I met her, I haven’t had time to feel at ease…
