Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN)
Chapter 19
The Silent Girl has a Yandere Side?
?
TL/ED: Bogdi
I was thinking about the story of Ryoma Ryuzaki, and before I knew it, school was over.?
?
I couldn’t get much of the lessons into my head, but I didn’t think anything of it because it was business as usual. Studying was something I could manage if I crammed all night before the test. Thanks to this, I got a slightly lower than average grade, which is a result that is indescribably mob-like, but that doesn’t mean I can’t change who I am.?
?
Now, it’s after school.?
?
Yesterday, I became friends with Shimotsuki after school……. Just because we’re friends doesn’t mean we have to stay together after school.?
?
Besides, I now have Ryuzaki’s eyes on me.?
?
After lunch, he seemed to be at least relieved by my statement, but he kept his guard up and kept glancing at me to see what I was up to.?
?
Fortunately, the shy Shimotsuki didn’t talk to me, so I think my suspicions were probably confirmed……. If I stay too close to her, I might get Shimotsuki in trouble.?
?
I decided to leave as soon as I could.?
?
In fact, I wanted to say a few words to Shimotsuki, but Ryuzaki was flirting with his harem members and wouldn’t leave the classroom, so I had no choice but to leave in silence.?
?
If we were friends, this would be about as good as it gets.?
?
If I’m not careful, Shimotsuki will quickly close the distance between us, but that doesn’t mean I can’t touch her. I have to be docile like a mob and not get carried away.?
?
I told myself that and headed home.?
?
I boarded a bus at the nearest bus stop and arrived near my house in about 20 minutes. I got off the bus and walked for another few minutes. When I finally reached home, I turned over to get my keys out of my bag……. That’s when it happened.?
?
“Who is it? The clue is your friend, a girl. Hmmm, can you guess? You want more clues? I don’t blame you, my favorite food is the food my mom makes. Yeah, if I give you this many hints, you’ll figure it out, right?”?
?
From behind me, small hands cover my eyes.?
?
The darkness confused me for a moment, but I was relieved when I heard the voice and immediately knew who it was.?
?
“What is it, Shimotsuki…… Shimotsuki!”?
?
However, my relief was short-lived.?
?
Immediately I realized that this situation was unusual.?
?
“I’m Shiho Shimotsuki, a 16-year-old girl. I’ve always dreamed of being able to say this. It’s one of the top 100 things on my list of things I want to do when I have a friend. I’m glad my dream came true.”?
?
I wondered if the top 100 could really be this special.?
?
Maybe there are quite a few items on the “list of things I want to do when I make friends” …… I was also curious about that, but I guess I need to ask something first.?
?
“Why are you here ……?”?
?
This place, of course, is not at school.?
?
It’s my house, 20 minutes away by bus and almost an hour away by foot.?
?
I couldn’t understand why Shimotsuki, a character I was supposed to encounter only at school, was in such a place.?
?
Why would she be here??
?
When I asked her the reason, the light suddenly disappeared from her eyes.?
?
Her black eyes, in contrast to her silvery-white hair, were filled with a darkness that seemed to absorb all colors.?
?
“Eh? You’re my friend, but you left without saying goodbye. …… There were many things I wanted to do after school, but you left on your own, so I followed you. I’m not sure if you’re aware that you’re my friend or not. I’m going to make myself at home with Nakayama-kun to get back at you. I’m not going to let you turn me down.”?
?
…… Until a few days ago, I thought she was like an emotionless doll.?
?
This girl was quite talkative and emotional.?
?
Shimotsuki: …… Sorry. I’m sorry to feel this way about my friend. …… It’s just a little hectic. The silent girl seems to have a bit of a yandere side…
