(Un) Fortunately the Yandere is Not After Me

Newsworthy

The day was still young, and there were plenty of people that Arata knew that they could meet with. Their only problem with this was trying to find any of them. There were a lot of people around all doing the same thing. This wasn't going to be easy.

"I don't really know everyone's traditions." Arata was unsure on where people would be. Since he only met them just earlier this year, that wasn't something that he ever thought to ask for. "So where do you think some of them might be?"

"This place looks pretty popular." Ayami pointed over a one of the crowds. "If there's that many people. Maybe someone we know is going to be a part of them." It was their only lead, so Arata took her direction and they headed there. This place was really crowded, so even if there was someone that they knew here. It wasn't going to be a simple endeavor.

However, he wasn't about to give up. Arata knew that as long as he stayed focused, they wouldn't get lost. "Here, take my hand." Ayami commanded him so that the two of them wouldn't get separated. He did as he was told and the two of them dove into the sea of people around them, hoping to find their target.

"Oof." As they walked through, Arata was finding it very difficult due to his smaller stature. Most of these people were adults, so he had little chance against them. He would've been swept up in all this if it wasn't for his big sister. They traveled tightly with each other and soon enough, they found themselves on the other side.

"I guess we didn't see anyone in there." Ayami said as they caught their breath. That was not a fun experience for the two of them.

"Probably because the people you know are a little more wiser than that." An elderly voice said to them. Arata turned his head up to see Hine standing before them. "As someone who's done this countless times. Surely it's better to find a place where you can collect your thoughts." She wasn't alone in this. Around her were members of her family. The important one for Arata being Hifumi.

"It's nice to see you again." She smiled, trying her best to not sound to excited in front of her family. "But where's the rest of your family?"

"Well, it's just me and Ayami here." He answered. "Oh I guess the two of you haven't met yet."

"Actually, are you the librarian girl?" Ayami cut in.

"Yes." She replied. "I believe I've seen you in the library studying with Yogi, correct?" That was affirmed, but formal introductions were made anyway. As Arata was going through this day. He realized the number of people he had yet to introduce to Ayami. It was a good thing she already knew the main group with Yogi, otherwise this day would get a lot longer.

"Well, we've already made our prayers." Said Hine. "So we'll let you kids have your fun while I go look for my other companions." Arata figured that his time with the elderly would be coming up soon. So this wasn't going to be the last of her he was going to see.

"So, how has running the library been for you?" Ayami asked when they were alone.

"It's been a joy." She answered. "We were almost shut down, but thanks to Arata we're doing better than ever."

"You saved the library?" There were a lot of things he never told her. Mostly because it sounded really embarrassing for the boy.

"I hope you didn't neglect to inform her that you're also the school's current secretary and treasurer as well." Hifumi had to raise an eyebrow to that response from his family member.

"Thankfully he made mention of that." The way she glared at him got the boy hot under the collar. "I wonder what else you've been hiding from me."

"I-I'm not try to hide anything." He nervously attempted to defend himself. "Anyway, let's just change the subject here. What did you pray for?" Arata turned the attention back onto his friend.
