Don't hesitate.
Don't have any sympathy.
Ichiko tightly clenched the teacup she was holding, feeling her heart pound.
In the reflection of her pupils, Haruko tilted her head, smiling sweetly, "Ichiko, what's wrong?"
Strands of beautiful hair fell from her ear, swaying in the air.
Her smile was lovely and happy.
But who knew if this side was just a facade?
Since the decision has been made, then do it!
Ichiko suddenly gulped down the red tea in her hand.
A warm current surged into her body, and she used this to muster courage, her gaze suddenly becoming firm.
She said very seriously to Haruko, "Haruko, tonight, I'm going to be Sento's Miss!"
Haruko slightly opened her mouth, still holding the coconut juice. It wasn't the first time she had heard this news, but hearing it from Ichiko's mouth seemed to have a different taste.
Her pink lips, lacking moisture, began to become dry and stiff, and the highlights in her eyes seemed to be gradually decreasing.
"Why?"
The indifferent tone carried no emotion.
Because the last banquet caused him a lot of trouble, and an ordinary person like herself had no money or connections, she could only compensate in the way the other party expected.
This was the fundamental reason, but Ichiko knew she couldn't say that.
Saying that would be like explaining, and under Haruko's constant questioning, she would have to keep explaining.
It must be a definitive statement!
Ichiko took a deep breath, "Because I like... because I also have a good impression of Sento, I don't dislike this matter, so I agreed!"
The word "like" she ultimately did not say.
Whether it was deception or true feeling, she really couldn't say she liked Sento.
Just as she said, there was a hint of good feeling and longing for the opposite sex.
"So Haruko, I'm sorry I can't accompany you for the next few days."
After Ichiko finished speaking, a heavy stone seemed to fall in her heart, and she felt much lighter.
Don't stimulate her too much—according to Dr. Kaito, this should be okay now, right?
Just as she finished speaking, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Haruko.
A hint of pain came through, making Ichiko secretly alarmed.
When did Haruko's strength become so great?
Looking up, she noticed that Haruko's state was very wrong at this moment.
Her breathing was rapid, her shoulders were trembling, like a person drowning, clutching at the last straw, "But didn't we promise to be together forever?"
"Why are you still going to find Sento?"
"Sorry, Haruko." Ichiko shook off Haruko's arm.
Standing up, she wanted to further observe Haruko's reaction; her current reaction was still within expectations.
"You can't~"
Haruko's voice, as low as a mosquito, caught Ichiko's attention.
She had thought Haruko would get up to stop her, but she didn't expect Haruko to just sit on the sofa, her hands still holding the cup of coconut juice.
The smile on her face was incredibly complex, "Ichiko, you can't go to Sento's place~"
"He will hurt you, abandon you, play with your feelings. In this world, only I like you wholeheartedly."
"So... you can't go~"
With that, she gave her a sweet smile.
Only this sweetness seemed mixed with potent poison.
Ichiko frowned and stepped to leave, but just as one foot extended, a sudden feeling of weakness came over her body.
She quickly covered her head, leaning on the armrest of the sofa, "Wha... what's going on?"
"Hehe, this is sleepy red tea~"
Haruko put down the orange juice in her hand, happily opening her arms, waiting for someone to embrace.
Her head began to swell, her limbs gradually lost strength, and a heavy drowsiness made Ichiko unable to hold on any longer.
From the corner of her eye, she saw the glass of plain water that Haruko hadn't drunk at all.
"Xiao..."
Before the word "Cheng" could be spoken, her whole body had already fallen towards Haruko.
Accompanied by a faint fragrance, the girl entered her embrace.
Haruko buried the tip of her nose in Ichiko's beautiful hair, taking a light sniff.
Her small mouth moved close to Ichiko's earlobe, and in Ichiko's remaining consciousness, she slowly said, "Ichiko, you can't leave me~"
"You're too tired. With 6 hours of deep sleep, just rest well."
Haruko gently placed Ichiko on the sofa, and with a sinister look in her eyes, she snorted, "Ichiko, oh Ichiko, since you already know I'm a yandere, why do you still test me? Don't you know that yanderes can't be tested?"
Test and you'll die. Is this a joke that can be made?
She stood up and stretched, "It's only because I'm a fake yandere. If I were a real yandere, Ichiko, you would have been in trouble long ago, and that Sento too. Although he's a Young Master, a real yandere would directly want to die together with him."
[So, Host, what do we do next? Lock her up?]
"Of course I won't do that kind of thing. Right now, it's just that Ichiko is too tired, so I'm letting her sleep well. We don't do anything illegal."
"We eliminated the rift between sisters, repaired the relationship. Ichiko took leave specifically to stay at my house for three days to take care of my illness. Isn't this part of daily life? System, don't make it sound so bad."
"I'm doing this for Ichiko's own good."
As Haruko spoke, her eyes gradually turned cold again, "She can't go to Sento's place. Even if this plot wasn't in the original novel, I know what will happen next."
Three days as a personal Miss, living in his house, a little accident at night, and then some sparks flying. Thinking with the melodramatic logic of female-oriented novels, this might still be light.
No one can lay a finger on my Ichiko!
"All of this is so that she doesn't end up as tragic as in the original plot."
Haruko sighed, picked Ichiko up with difficulty, and slowly carried her to her own room.
She placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket, her movements incredibly gentle, "At least 6 hours, rest well~"
Just then, the System in her mind spoke.
[Host, don't you think this is a good opportunity?]
"What good opportunity?"
[We are villains. Now the Female Lead, Ichiko, is helpless. You know~]
"What, now you remember you're a villain System?" Haruko rolled her eyes. Through their time together these past few days, because of Ichiko's looks and White Moonlight personality, plus the days of delicate care at the Hospital.
She did indeed like this novel's Female Lead, it was true.
But she disdained doing such things.
That would be a defilement of Ichiko!
She was playing a yandere, not a madwoman.
Haruko sat by the bed, reached out to tidy Ichiko's messy beautiful hair, and said to the System, "Ichiko has a heart problem. She is avoiding and afraid of the fact that I am a yandere. Now she can't even face me directly, so how can she fall in love with me?"
"The reason she values me so much is still because the original owner had a very good relationship with her, growing up depending on each other made her not want to easily abandon the original owner. It is this emotion that constrains her."
"Just in terms of romantic affection, Sento and Inari probably rank higher than me in her heart."
Haruko knew very well in her heart that if Ichiko didn't change her attitude towards her, then no matter how much more yandere she became, Ichiko wouldn't love her.
She would only constantly seek methods of treatment, comply with her, and reminisce about the beautiful memories they once shared.
Thinking of returning to the intimate sister relationship they had in childhood.
That won't do. You should love me wholeheartedly!
No, not'should', but 'must'!
