(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

No Time for Fun

"Why did you have to say it like that?" Arata lamented. When Misei said those words to him. He thought he was in for a world of pain. Once he understood what she meant, he just wanted to die from the embarrassment of those other girls hearing it.

"I'm sorry, I was just doing my job." She reasoned that she was just being the school president. This was normal for her to say that to troublemakers. All she wanted him to do was just help finish up some paperwork at the student council room.

"I think those other girls probably took the wrong way." He was certain that they had lewd thoughts as to what Misei had planned for him. He sorted through the papers she had handed him. Mostly just official notes that had to be filled with information for the school after this was all over.

"She's only acting like this because she's mad at you." Misao stated, which prompted a quick defense from Misei.

"As if. I'm not the type of person to hold a grudge." The panic in her voice was clear.

"Huh? I didn't think that you'd miss me eating lunch with you guys." The two didn't talk that much with each other, even after settling their differences. Not that they ignored each other either.

"You're like parsley." She replied.

"I'm what?"

"Parsley. You know, something that doesn't seem like it matters. But you notice it when it's gone." Arata couldn't tell what she was talking about. It felt like she was trying to be smart or wise or something with the way she described it.

"We've missed you." Misao clarified.

"I suppose that would be a way of putting it." Misei meekly agreed.

"Aww, well to be honest. I've missed you all too." He admitted. Much to Misao's enjoyment. It felt odd to him to say this to them, but it was the way he felt. "I'm sure you both know why I can't come back right now. But I promise that I'll be able to do that again soon." He wasn't sure if that was a promise he was going to be able to keep. After all, it was contingent on the actions of someone else.

"That's good to hear then." Misei responded. There was something in the way she was talking that was bothering him.

"Hey, I thought we both agreed that we would talk to each other like normal people?" He asked. "But you're acting like a teacher or parent to me-"

"Shh." Misao pulled him in to whisper in his ear. "Don't take it personal. She's just doing it to hide her feelings."

"I get that, but it's kind of breaking the rules, don't you think?" He replied.

"Maybe we should just talk about Erina." Misei cut into their conversation, trying to change the subject. It wasn't really something he felt comfortable talking about.

"Maybe we shouldn't." He replied, nervously scratching the back of his head. "after all, you're probably just going to tell me to forgive her."

"Are we? And should you though?" Misao asked. That felt like an odd question from her. He knew that she was the one that tried to keep him here, so why try and stop it?

"What do you mean? Aren't you-"

"After all, wouldn't you say that what she did was pretty terrible?" He couldn't deny that fact. She did threaten his school life with the information she held. In fact, there was still the fact that he wasn't sure if she was going to expose him.

"When you put it that way..." He wavered. But something inside him made him feel differently. There was a part of him that didn't want to believe that she was too far from forgiving. Except, he can't forgive her right now. Not until she does something to make him change his mind.
