At the same time, another message followed closely.
Yuri: "Haruko, what does Ichiko mean by this question? Did you pretend to be a Yandere to train her?"
The screenshot Yuri sent was exactly the same question as the one on her Dr. Kaito alt account.
Would a Yandere know that they are a Yandere?
"That's not right!"
Haruko tapped the table lightly with her finger. "Ichiko actually suspects if I'm a real Yandere. That doesn't seem right, does it?"
With the basement, the rooftop, and the previous matter with Lala, she had hit Ichiko with a combination of moves, leaving Ichiko completely disoriented. Otherwise, she wouldn't have blindly sought out her Dr. Kaito persona.
But why was she suspicious now?
Instead of replying to Ichiko immediately with her alt account, she first replied to Yuri, "Can you find out what's going on?"
A few minutes later, Yuri directly sent over several screenshots.
Because the two had a good relationship, Ichiko had told Yuri many things, including what Lala had said.
Yuri: "How should I reply to her?"
Haruko: "Just say you don't understand either and tell her to ask her uncle, the psychologist."
After sending the message, Haruko's eyes became strange.
"Kai, when I was being bullied by Lala, did I say something like that?"
[Host, correction, you were bullying Lala]
"Don't interrupt, I was clearly the victim."
Haruko had no memory of it.
She considered herself a rational person. Now that she had transmigrated into cannon fodder, she was even more cautious, thinking twice before acting. It was impossible for her pretense of being a Yandere to be exposed.
Let alone saying it herself.
[Host, you did say those words at the time. I thought you said them to her on purpose, having some other plan]
"Did I really say it?"
[Yes, you did. Not only did you say you weren't a Yandere, but you also mentioned something about the male and female leads]
"Hiss..."
Haruko sucked in a cold breath. "I actually have no memory of it myself!"
[Perhaps you entered a Yandere state, and anger clouded your mind?]
"Nonsense, I'm not a Yandere. I was talking to you at the time, that's impossible."
Haruko lowered her head in thought. "I guess it must be the lingering thoughts of the original owner affecting me."
"Although it's cute, soul transmigration really does get affected."
The System stopped talking, and after Haruko sorted out the context, she roughly guessed Ichiko's purpose.
She asked Shin, then Yuri, and now she was asking Dr. Kaito.
"She doesn't want to believe I'm a Yandere, she's avoiding it, she's scared. When she's in front of me, she's so gentle, I thought she was slowly setting her heart on me."
A hint of red light flashed in Haruko's eyes, and she replied with her alt account, "Why are you asking this? What happened?"
"It's like this..."
Ichiko told Dr. Kaito everything Lala had said in detail, and also mentioned a method Shin had given her.
While going to Sento's house to be his Miss for three days to repay him, she would pretend to go separate ways with Haruko and see how she reacted to determine if she was a Yandere!
Haruko narrowed her eyes.
If she didn't have the Dr. Kaito alias, she really wouldn't have known that Ichiko had such a plan.
But clearly.
She was still hesitating.
Since that's the case, let's add some fuel to the fire!
Dr. Kaito: "Generally speaking, Yanderes don't know they are Yanderes, but there are a small number of rational, slightly Yandere individuals. They vaguely feel that something is wrong with them, that they are too disgusting, to the point of hating themselves."
Dr. Kaito: "If you're not at ease, you can also use this method to test her."
Ichiko: "But I'm afraid something will go wrong."
Dr. Kaito: "Just stay by your friend's side at all times and soothe her emotions."
Dr. Kaito: "But there are two points to note."
Ichiko: "Please tell me."
Dr. Kaito: "From the situation, your Haruko seems to be a mild Yandere. First, you need to pay attention to her reaction to your pretense. Perhaps she won't hurt you, but she will definitely hurt herself, so you must try your best to soothe her emotions and temporarily go along with her ideas."
"Secondly, there's that Sento. It's not ruled out that you might need to soothe Haruko's emotions for a few days. During this time, it's best not to let your friend come into contact with Haruko, lest she worsen. You need to handle this aftermath in advance."
"Then you can test her."
The message was sent, and Haruko didn't receive a reply from Ichiko for a long time.
After seemingly struggling for several minutes, Ichiko finally replied with one word: "Dr. Kaito, is this really okay?"
She needed the courage to act.
Haruko's lips curled up, and she immediately typed, "Don't worry, this old man understands Yanderes best!"
Coincidentally, Haruko didn't want Ichiko to be Sento's Miss either.
Oh no, she absolutely cannot be Sento's Miss!
Ichiko, for the next few days, just stay with me properly~
Next, Haruko began to plan for her scheme. The two thousand yuan her brother gave her, besides buying two sets of clothes, would come in handy.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
With Yuri, the double agent, reporting to her, Haruko learned that Ichiko was going to Sento's house tomorrow night.
And she had used the Dr. Kaito account to find out that Ichiko would ditch Sento and choose to use this opportunity to test if she was really a Yandere!
Since you want to test me, then test me hard!
As evening approached, the setting sun was as red as blood. Haruko left school and walked down the path near her home.
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked her path.
Standing straight, with a sturdy build, wearing only a white shirt to look cool despite the late autumn.
On that reserved face, his glasses were reflecting the dazzling light of the setting sun.
"Haruko, can we talk?"
The person who came was Shin!
An alarm bell rang in Haruko's heart, and she subconsciously took a step back. "Is... Is there something?"
At this moment, she slightly raised her head and met Shin's sharp eyes behind his glasses.
Like a poisonous snake, looking down at its prey.
Haruko quickly lowered her head.
Her delicate eyebrows, hidden by her bangs, furrowed slightly, and her mind kept thinking about Shin's purpose.
Shin, Ichiko, test, Yandere...
It's over, this person's setting is that he's studied psychology, the probability of her intermediate acting skills being seen through is very high!
Haruko decided to avoid him, pulling the hood of her hoodie over her head and slowly saying, "Sorry, Young Master Shin, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Don't be in a hurry!"
Shin chuckled and said, "It's about Ichiko. Since you like her, aren't you going to talk to me about it?"
Haruko: "!"
Ichiko even told him that I like her?
Or did this person figure it out!
"There's nothing to be surprised about. I was just testing you, I didn't expect you to actually like Ichiko." In Shin's glasses, the reflection of the small figure was visible. "You subconsciously covered your head with your hood because you're afraid of me. Your body trembled, which shows that I was right about your shock."
"It's crowded here, how about we talk in a small alley?"
Shin put his hands in his pockets and turned around directly.
Haruko looked at his large back and slightly clenched her hands.
Then she put her hands in her pockets, and after a short while, she exchanged for a fruit knife from the System Mall.
With the knife in her hand, she felt much more at ease.
Haruko lowered her eyes and slowly followed.
The setting sun shone down, casting a long shadow of Shin's back.
The petite girl gradually approached, hiding in the dark shadow.
