Mygo, are you all yanderes?

"...Do you think it would be better if we didn't know each other?"

"What are you talking about?"

Kusano Akira stretched out his right hand in annoyance and delivered a chop to Wakaba Mutsumi's head.

"You're not going to say something like 'I don't know you' or something like that now, are you? Let me tell you, I'm really going to stick with you."

"You won't... break off our friendship?"

"That's right, we won't break off our friendship."

Wakaba Mutsumi muttered a couple of words, looked at Kusano Akira's face, and suddenly slammed his head down.

"Ahem!"

Kusano Akira was hit in the headbutt by Wakaba Mutsu, and his eyes started to see stars. He staggered back two steps, but Wakaba Mutsu immediately pulled him back and hugged him tightly.

"...!"

If Ye Qimu hugged Kusano Akira tightly, then buried her face in Kusano Akira's shoulder in fear. 8≥§?

"...I'm sorry, it was my fault just now, I shouldn't have done that."

Kusano Akira, who had originally intended to question Wakaba Mutsu about what he was doing, softened again upon seeing Wakaba Mutsu's current behavior. He could only put aside his dissatisfaction, gently pat Wakaba Mutsu's trembling back, and softly comfort him.

After a long while, Wakaba Mutsu finally moved her face away from Kusano Akira's shoulder. She looked at Kusano Akira's face and was about to say something when she saw Kusano Akira stick something cool and refreshing on her forehead.

"……This is?"

"band-aid."

After Kusano Akira applied the band-aid to Wakaba Mutsumi's forehead, he pressed it a couple of times to make sure there was no air trapped inside.

"You have a scrape there, let me put a band-aid on it to prevent infection."

"Honestly, next time if you're going to hit me, use something else, your fists or legs, just don't use your head, you'll get hurt too."

"……it is good."

"No, shouldn't a normal person say 'I will never hit you again'?"

"..."

"Give me a band-aid."

"Oh, here you go."

Wakaba Mutsu took the band-aid that Kusano Akira handed her and stood on tiptoe to put it on the injured area on his forehead as well.

Anyway, she'll recover quickly from her injury, but Kusano Akira's head abrasions are turning red.

"...I'm sorry about that."

"What are you sorry for?"

I shouldn't have threatened you with that kind of thing.

"I didn't care at all—yeah right."

Upon hearing Wakaba Mutsu's words, Kusano Akira deliberately put on a fierce expression.

"If you don't want to break off the friendship, then don't keep bringing it up. Such words are so hurtful."

Then Kusano Akira removed his fierce expression and looked at Wakaba Mutsu with a smile.

"But I did it anyway, so let's call it even."

"Ah, speaking of which, since you've put it that way, then you want me to give you an explanation about that matter, right...?"

"Those are two different things."

"Oh, okay then."

After saying this, the two looked at each other in silence and simply stood at the door waiting for Toyokawa Shoko to come out.

Kusano Akira was somewhat relieved that no Haneoka students had seen his interaction with Wakaba Mutsu. Otherwise, given how he and Wakaba Mutsu had hugged and cuddled, rumors would have been flying around the next day.

When he was eating lunch in the cafeteria, someone pointed at him and whispered, "Itsumade, whose third eye has been sealed."

"Will you stay with me forever?"

Suddenly, Wakaba Mutsu turned to look at Kusano Akira and asked this question.

"?"

How come another one starts with a lifetime of playing cards?

"Hmm, okay."

Although Ni didn't expect that Wakaba Mutsu would ask the same question as Takamatsu Akira, who was also a bit of a freak, Kusano Akira didn't hesitate too much and gave the same answer as Takamatsu Akira.

"really?"

"real."

"You didn't lie to me this time?"

“I really didn’t this time.”

Wakaba Mutsumi looked at Kusano Akira's face and pursed her lips.

"Then you say, 'I will always stay by Wakaba Mutsu's side from now on.'"

"I will always stay by Wakaba Mutsu's side from now on."

"'No matter what happens'."

"No matter what happens."

"'Whether it's old age or disease'."

"Whether it's aging or... wait, isn't that a word used for weddings?"

"...It seems like that."

Ruoye Mu muttered something while looking down.

She didn't know why she started talking about wedding vows.

In short, I feel like I'll be with you for the rest of my life.

"Is this enough?"

"……enough."

Ruoye Mu paused, then added a sentence.

"I won't let you go."

"I won't run away either."

Kusano Akira didn't take it to heart, since he hadn't intended to deceive Wakaba Mutsu.

He genuinely hopes to spend his life with all his current friends.

If Ye Mu turned his face back to the school, he would still secretly glance at Kusano Akira.

When she saw Kusano Akira's wrist, a strange light flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head and pondered, as if she was considering something.

Tying him up with chains... I don't think that's a bad idea.

Although Kusano Akira said he wouldn't leave her, she believed him.

However, Ruo Yemu didn't think the illusion that had just appeared was without reason. Since it allowed her to see it, it must have served a purpose.

She felt she needed to learn relevant knowledge, such as how to chain up a man who was more than 20 centimeters taller than her.

And how to do this so that he won't hate you.

As I said before, I believe that Kusano Akira will not go back on his word, but one should always be prepared for anything.

【…】

[I didn't expect it to work so well!]

Looks like I'll have to put in even more effort to get me through the month of pregnancy.

The future Wakaba Mutsu – from now on, mortis – never expected that simply transferring a fragment of her past to Wakaba Mutsu would make her so much more proactive than before.

I wish I had used this trick sooner.

If only she had been this proactive in the past, then no one else would have taken advantage of her vulnerability.

However, it's not too late now. According to her plan, as long as she keeps a close eye on Toyokawa Shoko, she can share more of her current feelings.

She'll be in charge of dealing with Kusano Akira. With her connections, controlling Kusano Akira right now will be a piece of cake.

When the time comes, I will naturally merge with my current self, hand over all my memories to her, and then run away with Kusano Akira to a place where no one can find me.

By the time everyone else returned, it was too late to find them.

Er was a complete victory for her.

What if Kusano Akira comes back? That's easy, right? Have a few more children and tie him down with a sense of responsibility.

That's right, moral blackmail!

Author's Note: 8k

It seems I overestimated myself; my fingers are cramping from typing so much.

It's estimated that 8k refreshes will only be available on weekends or public holidays in the future.

On normal days, the minimum wage should be 4k, occasionally around 6k.

My writing style tends to be more emotional and colloquial, so I might reset earlier chapters if I see them. Please refresh the page if you're reading this.

see you tomorrow

Volume 1: Chapter 30, Section Twenty-Nine: Group Photo

The thought that he might be able to live the ideal life he never dared to dream of before filled Mortis with uncontainable joy.

What a perfect start! Much better than last time.

She made up her mind that once Kusano Akira released her tonight, she would do everything in her power to make him accept her existence.

At the very least, he shouldn't see her as the evil spirit he imagines; ideally, he should be able to get Kusano Akira used to having her around.

If they get along well, she might be able to go out with Kusano Akira in the future.

This not only makes it easier for her to gather intelligence, but also allows her to find out more quickly about Kusano Akira's current network of relationships and whether anyone other than her and Toyokawa Shoko has returned.

Furthermore, when Kusano Akira and Wakaba Mutsumi meet, he can take the opportunity to remind her of more things from the past, and when the time is right, he can return to her body.

With her as a top-notch wingman, how could Ruo Ye Mu possibly lose this time!

Although he never managed to win Kusano Akira's heart, Mortis was confident that he was second to none in understanding Kusano Akira as a person.

The only regrettable thing is that she can only affect Wakaba Mutsu when they are less than ten meters apart. Once the distance is greater, she can no longer sense Wakaba Mutsu's presence.

Otherwise, she could simultaneously gather information from Kusano Akira's side and foster Wakaba Mutsu's feelings for him.

8 However, putting aside the intelligence gathering aspect for now, Mortis must be very careful in terms of developing feelings for Wakaba Mutsu.

We absolutely cannot let Wakaba Mutsu become a slave to desire like she did before. The current level, which leans more towards romance, is just right.

Mortis attributes her inability to win Kusano Akira's heart to her past actions being too aggressive and excessive.

Thirdly, she always took advantage of Kusano Akira's indulgence towards her and was always making unreasonable demands, but while making unreasonable demands, she didn't have the courage to actually make them effective.

He always hesitates and falters when he should act, and he doesn't even dare to face his own heart.

This isn't just Mortis's problem; in fact, they all have similar situations.

None of them before number 5 had ever defeated that newcomer, largely because they couldn't control their desires, which meant that even with such a huge advantage, they couldn't win over Kusano Akira.

Perhaps it was because of their increasingly outrageous behavior that Kusano Akira couldn't bring himself to think of them in that way, and instead always regarded them only as troublesome friends.

But this time, Mortis will not repeat the same mistake.

Based on the information observed in Wakaba Mutsumi's body after he woke up, and what he overheard in Kusano Akira's desk just now, at least the members of Mygo have not returned.

At least Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari are certain of each other.

Although Shiina Ritsuki didn't get to see her in person, Mortis didn't care at all even if she came back. The old Shiina Ritsuki's skills were not as good as hers.

The only person she feared most was Toyokawa Shoko, but Toyokawa Shoko seemed completely heartbroken.
