(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Your Feelings for Him

"What are you two talking about?" Yogi asked the two. Arata was really regretting what he had done. Not only did he get himself into an awkward situation, Ayami was stuck right beside him. In front of Yogi of all people.

What was he going to do? She was the last person he'd try to humiliate. Thankfully, Yogi's was quite the clueless person.

"We were just talking about the two of you studying together, right?" He signaled to his sister, where she played along. "You know, like how we do it? I was just wondering if she ever had other guests, like we have with Yuki." That was the only excuse he could come up with. Thankfully, it was of sound logic.

"Oh that's what you meant." Yogi bopped his head on what seemed like a simple revelation. "The answer to that is no, we never had anyone but us together when we were studying." With Erina standing right beside him, Arata could tell that she wasn't happy to hear that. He silently apologized for causing her discomfort, but this was the only thing he could think of.

"Yes." Ayami agreed. "It was only the two of us. It's nice though, that you have others to study with... And this Yuki is?" There was a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"She's my cousin." He answered. She breathed a sigh of relief from hearing that. Arata could tell from the way his sister was acting. That he should probably do something to help her.

He never gave her an answer to her request. Back then, he had other matters to worry about. Now that he was supporting everyone, it couldn't hurt to favor a certain someone over the rest.

But what could he do? With Erina here, it wasn't going to be easy to force something to happen. Unless...

"Hey, it looks like there's a sparkler display going on over there." He pointed over at nothing.

"Really where?!" They all turned to look where he pointed. What he had planned wasn't at the top of the list of proudest things he ever did, more like at the bottom. While they weren't paying attention, he pulled the bow keeping Ayami's yukata on.

"What?!" She felt it slipping down, nearly revealing herself to the public. Quickly, she used her arms to keep her chest covered, and dropped down in a sitting position to make sure she wasn't exposed. "I don't understand, what's going on?"

She was panicking, which made him regret his actions. He didn't want to embarrass her, but it was time to see this plan to the end. Hopefully she'll forgive him later, or just not find out.

"Oh no, are you all right?" He acted, thankfully that time at the theater was paying off here.

"My outfit, it's..." She was flustered. She couldn't believe this was happening here, with all these people around.

"Uh, say Yogi. You got any ideas?"

"Me?"

"Well, I've never really worn one of these things before. And Erina's wearing a kimono. So I was hoping that you had some more experience."

"I guess you are kind of right." Yogi scanned around him, thinking of a strategy. "I got it, just give me a second." He ran away from them, then as soon as he left. He returned with a blanket.

"Where did you get that?"

"I know one of the people running a stand here. So I just asked them for it." That was easy. Arata wasn't really sure how they were going to handle this situation, and he was the one that set it up. Yogi covered her with it, and helped her up.

"Great, well can you find her a bathroom so she can get some privacy." Arata relied on his lack of experience with this venue to his advantage.

"But don't you want to come with her?"
