(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Who's That Girl?

Even with everything they had been through, Summer break wasn't over yet. That meant for Erina, it was time for more scheming, especially since their last plan failed. She still had to give him an earful on that.

First, she had to take care of her daily errands. Once that was finished, she could sneak into his room and give him a good scare. She did her usual climbing up walls as she always did. She was quite skilled thanks to her constant practice with Yogi's.

What she saw in his room as she reached the window, gave her a real fright. Was that Arata, with a girl?! The sight almost made her lose her grip and fall down.

"Huh? Did you hear something?" The girl asked him.

"Yeah, it sounded like something by the window." He responded. As he was walking over to see what it was, Erina knew she had to do something quick. "I guess it was nothing..." He opened the window and scanned around the area. Nothing that he could see.

"Probably just the wind." Said the girl. He agreed, and went back inside. In her desperation, Erina jumped from the window onto the nearby tree. She barely made it, and was hanging on for dear life.

That wasn't her concern though. After all, this had happened countless times at Yogi's place anyway. More importantly, who was that girl sitting in his room so casually? She knew that boy, there was no way he'd let anyone in his room so easily. That girl had to already know about his secret.

She made her way back down to the ground. Wondering what to do next about this. He never mentioned knowing anyone else other her group of friends. Not only that, but she was a really beautiful girl.

Erina felt herself heat up from the thought. It was an odd feeling... For some reason, she didn't like the idea of him being alone with another girl like this.

She shook her head, calming herself down. That had to be some girl from school, right? But then, why did she know about his secret? When she saw him there, he didn't seem unhappy about it. If anything, this was the most happy she'd ever seen him.

There were too many questions for her that desperately needed answers. While racking her brain for those answers, a voice made her jump up in fear.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ahh!" Erina screamed. She turned around to see it was Yuriko. Knowing that Arata certainly heard that. She grabbed the girl and dragged her behind the tree.

"Who's there?!" Arata opened his window and looked around. This time, he scanned the yard more frantically. "I know for a fact I heard someone yelling."

"Oh, Arata. Those ears of yours always just pick things up. It's probably some kids playing out by the park." The girl assured him that it was nothing. He let it go, returning to her. This time, he left the window open in case something happened.

"Let go of me." Yuriko struggled out of her grip. She glared at her in irritation about the rough handling. "Who was that?"
"I don't know." She answered. Yuriko couldn't believe what she was hearing. There was a girl sitting and talking with Arata right at this moment. She was really upset about it, especially since she was in his room of all thing. When they were babysitting, she always asked to check his room, but he never allowed it.

"Well, did you get a good look at her? What does she look like?" Yuriko asked.

"Well, she's about his height from the looks of it." Erina tried to visualize what she saw. "She's got long light purple hair, oh and there's a blue ribbon on it too."

"Um..." Yuriko didn't want to say this, but she just had to know. "... Is she c-cute?"

"C-cute?" Erina paused for a moment. That girl was gorgeous, but she didn't want to admit it." I guess, you could say that." She answered, downplaying it.
