(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Tutoring

It felt odd being supported by others. Being someone that avoided most students at school, Arata wasn't sure about this. Lack of trust aside, he was going to have a find a way to start talking with Misei.

His mind was already filled with excuses of starting a conversation, outside of showing her how to do these problems.

"So do you understand this now?"

"Yes." She was doing it again, keeping her sentences short. That way, he wouldn't have an easy way to continue talking. At this point, he was at the realization that he didn't know her that well. Whatever subject he was going to come up with, he was going to have to find it in this room.

Studying his surroundings, it definitely wasn't like his room. There was much more decoration, and things that one would expect. Except for the fact that a lot of it, wasn't what he'd think she'd have.

Her stuffed animals, the colorful posters on the walls, even the color scheme. It was pretty girly, not that took issue with that. More that for someone with such a ladylike attitude anytime he saw her in public, it just didn't seem like her style.

Even her outfit at the moment was foreign to him. While she was in the comforts of her home, seeing her wearing shorts and a regular shirt was a far cry from her public wear. Misao took notice what he was doing. That was when she took her chance.

"So, Kashimura. What do you think of her outfit?"

"What?" He immediately heated up. Getting put on the spot like this was just painful. "We-well. I think it looks nice." He said this, trying as hard as he could to not even look at Misei. She was so cute wearing that, but he'd never say that out loud.

"Well it wasn't my choice to wear it. Miseo just told me that it was better if I wore my home clothes, that's all." She was going to dress up for this? It's just studying.

"I think you look really cute." Matsu basically said what he was thinking. "I really wished you'd wear this more often."

"It's not like I can just wear this at school. Besides, this is nowhere near appropriate in public." Arata was fairly certain he'd seen more indecent outfits than this outside. On the subject, things were going better now. Just had to keep it up.

"Say, what are these for?" He picked up a teddy bear from her bed. "I never imagined you to be someone that had these lying around."

"That's just for convenience sake!" She swiped it from his hands. Quickly returning it back to its original place. "I can just use these instead of buying more pillows." It was embarrassing to her to have to defend herself like this. Not that he was attacking her, he was not one to judge. After all, that one 'special' bodypillow he had hidden under his bed was proof of that.

"They look so nice." Matsu complimented her, picking up another one. "Where do you get them from?" As those two girls argued, there was something about this that Arata just couldn't put his finger on. Why was he enjoying this so much?

Actually, now that he was thinking about it. This was probably the first time in a while she got to see Misei like this. That proper girl, getting really uppity about appearance. Trying to explain herself to make it sound less embarrassing. Such like back at the pool, when she was wearing that ring float.

It wasn't that different from how he felt about Erina. Sure, he might be annoyed with how they usually acted. Erina's energetic actions and Misei's prideful manner. When that was gone, it kind of made him feel a bit sad.

Was this how Yogi felt about them too? He'd mentioned this many times to him during class. How they were whenever something big happened with that group. Those moments that made him upset, and those that made him happy.
