(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

A Day at the Park

"Let's see, food check. Blanket, check." Arata was checking things off his list. Making sure he had everything for today. Why? Because today he was getting ready for his other weekly job.

A knock at the door drew his attention, with everything in order he went and answered it.

"Ah hello." He greeted the guests, a mother with her triplet kids, two boys and a girl.

"Hello to you too Kashikura." She greeted him back. Arata's duties in babysitting for the day were about to begin. This time was going to be different, however. After the last person dropped off her children, the other parents that enlisted his help came and dropped off their kids as well. One boy and another girl.

"Thank you again for helping us out." The mother of the girl handed him his money in advance this time.

"Oh it's no problem at all. I love taking care of the children in the neighborhood." This was partially true. The money was a bit more of a priority though. "looks like that's everyone now." He said, keeping an eye on the kids, waiting by his basket full of food.

"Oh are you going out soon?" She asked.

"Yep, since the weather's gotten so nice lately. I thought that it was a great time to take everyone to the park this time."

"Oh that sounds so wonderful, but actually do you mind waiting a while?" He didn't understand. "Oh, I told my friend about you and she has a little girl so she was interested in having you watch her while she goes take care of some errands."

"Really?" He could hardly contain his happiness. This meant more money for him.

"Yes, I believe her big sister is going to drop her off, so please just wait a little longer." They said their goodbyes to each other, Arata returned to the kids now under his watch.

"Oh looks at all this food." One of the triplets were peeking into his basket.

"Oh... Curious as always." He said, taking the child away from it to make sure it didn't get any damage. "Today we're going somewhere special." He told them.

"To the park?!" Said the little girl.

"Yep." They kids all cheered, raring to go. "Although we can't go yet. It turns out a new friend is joining us too."

"Really? Who?" The girl out of the triplets asked.

"Well, actually I don't know. I just know it's a girl is all." He put his hand under his chin, wondering what he should be expecting. Another knock at the door got him out of thinking. He was going to get his answer pretty soon. "Hello? I'm guessing that. Ah!"

"Hello to you too." It wasn't someone he was expecting. There she was, Yuriko standing at his front door. This time with a little girl standing behind her leg. Trying to hide from sight.

"Sorry about that yell. I just wasn't expecting you to be here." He apologized. Thinking that he had frightened the girl that was with her. Looking at her, he could see the resemblance to Yuriko. If he didn't know, he'd think that was just Yuriko when she was at that age.

"Yeah, my mom heard about what you do. So she figured that it might be a good idea." She crossed her arms, indifferent about the whole thing. "Anyway, I got things to do. So I guess I don't mind you watching her, but don't you dare do anything to her." She threatened. What type of babysitter did she think he was? Not important though, at least he has another customer now.

"Well, that's great I guess." He replied. "So, what's your name?" He asked the small girl. What he got in response was her covering herself more behind her big sister.
