What Am I? (Yandere Simulator Love Story)

Twenty: Boosting Reputation

(Thursday) Ayano's POV

"Amaya, you're getting worse and worse. Are you sure you don't want to stay home tody?" I asked my little sister as she, Yan-kun, and I walked to school. "I'm fine." Amaya said. "Hold on a sec." Yan-kun said. He stopped walking and faced Amaya before grabbing her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Yan-kun, what are you doing?" I asked, frowning. "I just wanna check something." He said. He stared intently at Amaya, making my frown darken a little. "Amaya, when was the last time you slept?" He asked her. "Last night." She answered, emotionlessly.

"I'm talking about when you actually had sleep. Like, when was the last time you were comfortable?" He rephrased. "I don't understand the question." Amaya said. "What is this about, Yan-kun? Why are you interrogating her?" I demanded.

"Look at her face," Yan-kun, still having a hold Amaya's chin, turned her head so she was looking at me. "See anything different?" Yan-kun said. "Not really." I answered. "No? Look closer, Ayano." He ordered.

I rolled my eyes and took a closer look at my little sister. "Well... She does have some dark bags under her eyes." I noticed. Then, that's when it hit me. Now I know why Yan-kun was asking Amaya all those questions.

"Amaya, have you been sleeping at night? At all?" I asked her. "Yes... No." Amaya said. "Why haven't you been sleeping, Amaya? Are you afraid or something?" Yan-kun asked. "Bad dream?" I guessed. "No, not afraid. No bad dreams." She answered.

"Then, what is it?" Yan-kun asked. Amaya sighed before explaining herself. "Okay, here's the thing. Ever since we went into Mission Mode in the timeline, I couldn't stop thinking about Nemesis-kun." She said.

"Nemesis?" I repeated. "Nemesis-kun." Amaya repeated. "Who's Nemesis-kun?" Yan-kun asked.

"He's Nemesis's older brother. When I was trying to protect Ayano, he tried to kill me. He's also the same person who gave me the cuts on my arms and legs. I've been so worried that he'd might come back, I started getting paranoid. So, I haven't been sleeping at all lately." Amaya explained.

"How long have you gone without any sleep?" Yan-kun asked. "About... three days, I think." She answered. "Why didn't you tell us any of this?" I asked. "Because I didn't want to burden you. I'm sorry." Amaya apologized.

"Well, you don't have to worry about him anymore. Once I find him, I'm gonna kill him." Yan-kun said. "Yan-kun, no. You don't have to do that. This is my problem. I have to deal with it on my own." Amaya said.

"In that case, take this," I appraoched her and handed her a knife. "I stole this from the Cooking Club yesterday. Use it to protect yourself." I said. "I will. Thanks, Ayano." Amaya replied, taking the knife from me. I hugged her as she gently hugged me back.

The last thing I wanna see is my sister suffering. Hopefully, with the knife, she'll be able to defend herself, no problem.

When we got to the school, we changed into our school shoes and headed to the roof; our usual spot. "So, what should we do?" Yan-kun asked. "We could boost our reputation." Amaya suggested. "How do we do that?" I asked.

"If you join the Cooking Club and serve some students octodogs, there's a possibility that our reputation could increase." She explained. "That's actually not a bad idea. When did you go and get all smart?" Yan-kun joked.

Amaya shrugged before yawning. "Come on," I said, heading to the Cooking Club with my siblings in follow.

"Hi, there. Welcome. Can I help you with something?" Amai Odayaka asked. "We'd like to join the Cooking Club." I said. "All three of you?" She asked, pointing at us. "Yeah." Yan-kun said. "Okay! Welcome to the club!" Amai said, smiling.

After we joined the club, the three of us made octodogs and we served them to all the students and teachers of Akademi High School. "That's about everyone." Yan-kun said. "Yeah." I agreed. "Uh... Not really. I still have one more octodog left." Amaya said.

"Who are you gonna give it to?" Yan-kun asked. "I'm sure I'll find someone to give it to." She said. "Then, you better hurry. Class is gonna start soon." I informed. "Yeah. Okay." Amaya said. We all went our separate ways, heading to class while Amaya went to serve the last octodog to a student.

I wonder who she's gonna serve it to?

Amaya's POV

I went outside and headed over to the incinerator to serve the last octodog. I walked past the female delinquents, approaching Osoro. "What do you want?" Osoro asked, frowning. I stared at him with an emotionless gaze. "Dull." I mumbled. "You got somethin' you wanna say? Then, say it to my face!" He said.

"I said, you're dull." I repeated, bluntly. "Hey!" One of the male delinquents grabbed the front of my uniform. "You better show some respect towards the boss! He can put you in the hospital!" He warned. "I've heard scarier. Anyway, you're not the person I want to speak to," I slapped his hand away so he'd let go of my uniform and approached Osorõ.

"I know you don't want me here, so I'll make this quick. My siblings and I were serving food to the students and teachers inside the school and I had one left. I didn't know who else to give it to since my siblings and I served it to everyone else. So, I thought I'd give this one to you." I explained, emotionlessly.

"Here," I motioned the plate towards him as the last octodog sat there. "I hope you like it." I said. Osorõ narrowed his eyes at me before taking the octodog off the plate and eating it. "It taste good. Thank you." He mumbled with a tint of pink on his cheeks.

I emotionlessly blinked my eyes before saying, "I'm glad you liked it."

I bowed my head respectfully before heading to class.

Osorõ's POV

"Tch. Damn brat." The delinquent said. I watched as that girl walked away. She wasn't afraid to talk back to him. She didn't even blink like she didn't give a damn. Is she a delinquent? No, if she was, my sister would've informed me about a new member.

But that girl... She's not afraid to speak her mind. It was like she was fearless. Hmm....

Wonder what else she's capable of?
