Yandere Megami No Hakoniwa Volume 1 Chapter 1:

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;This is terrible.”

I was transferred to some random field. I thought back on what happened so far and looked down in despair.

After everything that’s happened, I’m now left defenceless.

I’m not sure if I believed her so easily because she saved my life or because she’s a G.o.ddess&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.Either way, it’s my own fault for trusting her.

I need to be careful now that I’m here. Right now I have a trait that will attract Yanderes&h.e.l.lip;..Still, I never imagined this trait would even attract a Yandere G.o.ddess.

However, thanks to her, I am now able to live a second life. Anyway, the way she talked and her behaviour may have been strange, but, compared to the past Yanderes in my life, she seems to be decent.

&h.e.l.lip;..Well, I’m not sure if I can compare Yandere girls to Yandere G.o.ddesses. Anyway, I definitely don’t hate Medea-nee compared to other Yanderes.

Even now I’m still calling her Medea-nee&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Maybe she was distracting me with her behaviour in order to trick me&h.e.l.lip;.

Well&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;it did feel amazing though.

A-Anyway, I need to think about something else. After all, she really did reincarnate me into another world. Though, it will be impossible for me to meet an ordinary girl and live a peaceful life.

What should I do first? Well, I guess I should figure out where I am —- Oh, and what I even look like.

First, my clothes&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I’m wearing simple clothing and it’s different from what I was wearing earlier. Did Medea-nee change me into clothing that the people of this world wear?

&h.e.l.lip;..No, I need to stop thinking too much about that. Especially since that would mean she changed me into the clothing I was wearing earlier.

Anyway, is there anything useful on me&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;nothing. Absolutely nothing. Was I thrown into the middle of a field with no food or weapons!?

I’ll probably starve and die at this rate. Well, I guess that wouldn’t matter. I’d just be revived somewhere else, but it would be stupid to have my first death be due to starvation.

Is there anything else&h.e.l.lip;..Ah, that’s right, the item box!

&h.e.l.lip;.Eh? How do I use it?

I imagine a box opening in my mind and — it opened. A semi-transparent window opens in front of me, I can see ten gold coins rolling around in the window.

I’m guessing that’s a large amount of money, but — It’s not useful right now.

I guess it can’t be helped. I’ll need to first find a village.

I’m on a small hill and in the distance, I can see a road that looks like a highway.

If I follow that road I should eventually come across a village, but&h.e.l.lip;..I’m not sure how long I’d have to walk.

I need to think of a backup plan — That’s when I noticed a translucent window in the corner of my vision.

What is that —

Welcome to Algonia!

Yuzuki-kun, you were transported to the southwest part of Gran Island.

&h.e.l.lip;.Something about this message — It reminds me of Medea-nee. Maybe it’s just my imagination?

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;She said she had been watching me for a long time and it’s starting to seem like that’s the truth.

I tried to write something in the window, but it seemed impossible. I’m guessing it’s similar to a welcome screen in an MMO.

Well, if I have a welcome screen, maybe I have something like a minimap? But, as far as I can tell, there’s nothing like that.

Apparently, this window only displays message logs and the time.

Alright, I guess I have no choice. Now it’s just a matter of which direction to go&h.e.l.lip;..As I was considering which way to go, I could hear the scream of a girl coming from nearby.

What, what is it? Surely it’s not some kind of pervert — even in a different world that’s a problem? It may be more likely, since this is a fantasy world, that it’s someone being attacked by thieves.

I instinctively stopped walking and turned to the direction of the screams.

This world created by the Yandere G.o.ddess is like a game. I heard a girl’s scream soon after appearing here — I’m guessing this is something like an introductory event.

Could it be possible? An ordinary girl that needs my help?

To be honest, I expect her to be Yandere. There’s a good chance she will be Yandere. She’ll definitely be Yandere!

I am hoping to meet a normal girl and live a peaceful life with her. Therefore, I really don’t want to be a.s.sociated with any Yanderes.

I really don’t want to, but&h.e.l.lip;..I can’t ignore the screams of a girl.

I sighed and looked in the direction of the screams.

First of all —- I need to think about how I’ll fight.

I learned some skills I thought I’d need when I still was unaware of the Yanderes in this world. I’ll need to check my skills properly, but first&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I need to head in the direction of the screams, I’ll keep my status window open as I go towards it.

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Hmm? I have many different skills but for combat skills&h.e.l.lip;..I have none. Aaaaaahhhhh, that’s right! Because I knew I’d be reborn if I died, I focused on obtaining hereditary skills and special skills!

On top of that&h.e.l.lip;.My strange t.i.tles are continuing to increase, but they don’t seem to be useful in battle. Even if I were to fight, I’d die immediately and get a bad end!

No, even if I die I’ll be reborn again.

As I started running towards the scream, a carriage that was stopped on the side of the highway came into view.

Around the carriage, I could see three swordsmen that looked like guards. They were fighting against some people that looked like thieves.

There are a larger number of thieves than guards, but it seems the guards are more skilled fighters. From what I can tell, none of the guards have been hurt and there are only thieves lying on the ground.

However, because the guards are trying to defend the carriage, it seems like they are being pushed back.

I became frightened at the sight of a real fight in front of me. Even though I have no combat skills, I still felt the need to help them fight.

Even if I die I will just resurrect some time later, but it would still be painful and I don’t want to die in vain. As I stood there, unsure of what to do&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;my eyes met with a blonde girl inside the carriage.

“You there, don’t get caught up in the fight. Run away!”

She’s currently in immediate danger and it would make sense if she was scared for her life. Yet, this girl that’s younger than me is trying to keep me from getting hurt.

This girl is in a life-threatening situation and is still thinking about me, but I’m immortal and still don’t even have the nerve to fight?

I slapped my face and ran towards the fight.

I let out a yell as I ran toward the wagon. I slipped past the surprised guards and thieves and found a sword on one of the fallen thieves.

“W-Who are you!?”

A female guard shouted at me as I picked up the blade.

“Please, don’t attack, I’m on your side.”

I shout this at her and to prove I’m on her side, I stabbed at the thief currently attacking her. The thief quickly jumped back and avoided the attack. He then kept some distance between me and the guard.

After that, I ran to the other side of the carriage to where the rest of the guards were.

“Are you really on our side?”

A female guard that was restraining a thief asked me this.

“I’m trying to help, but don’t expect much as I’m just a normal person pa.s.sing by!”

I declare such a pathetic thing in as dignified a manner as possible.

I don’t know how effective my words were, but the female swordsmen seemed to believe me. While crossing swords with the thief, I could see her smile.

“Thank you. Then, while we take care of the enemies, you must protect the carriage! We will have no chance if they manage to take ojou-sama as a hostage!”

“Leave it to me!”

In this situation, without any fighting experience or combat skills, I doubt I’d be able to defeat any thieves, but I should be able to at least prevent them from getting to the carriage. Well, I at least have to try.

I turned my sword towards the thieves with my back to the girl in the carriage.

“ — Come on!”

I shout out with nothing to lose. At that moment, one of the thieves managed to slip past the guards and approached me saying, “You’re pretty bold for a little brat!”

No, umm, I’m sorry.

I just yelled that to make me appear confident so you don’t really need to come towards me!

“Just die already!”

“—-!”

The thief swung his sword down at my head. To block it, I reflexively held up my sword – – – and parried his sword.

&h.e.l.lip;.. H-huh?

—Then, there was a brief moment of silence.

The thief tried to grab me with his hands, but – – – he’s so slow. With one hand I pulled both of his arms down and with the other, I slammed the pommel of the sword into his chin.

“Gah!?”

The thief crumpled to the ground while letting out a scream of pain. Somehow&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;this guy is weaker than I thought.

No, it’s still too early for me to relax.

It’s possible that guy was the weakest amongst the four bad guys. Thief A could’ve just been an underling or something similar&h.e.l.lip;..

“T-The leader was instantly killed!”

“Impossible! How could our leader be defeated in a single blow!?”

“—Withdraw! Run away! Everyone, run away!”

The other thieves looked down at Thief A that I had knocked down and seemed to lose the will to fight. This guy was far from being the weakest, in fact, he seemed to be their leader.

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.Eh, seriously?

“You saved us. Did you say you’re just an ordinary person to get them to lower their guard?”

As I was still a little dumbfounded, one of the female swordsmen came up to me.

“Well&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;. I was being serious, but&h.e.l.lip;.”

“Fufu~ no need to be so modest. Those were no ordinary bandits and for you to just knock the leader out in one blow. Well, let’s just say n.o.body would believe you’re just a normal person.”

“&h.e.l.lip;..Those weren’t ordinary thieves?”

“They did look like thieves, but their leader was well trained. On top of that, they attacked a carriage that had well-armed guards. No ordinary thieves would do that. They must belong to some larger organization.”

“&h.e.l.lip;.I see.”

Hmm&h.e.l.lip;.is that so? Well, if I think about it from a thief’s perspective, I would be more likely to attack a traveller or trader that couldn’t afford any escorts.

If that’s the case, then&h.e.l.lip;..how did I defeat him so easily?

I don’t know any martial arts and I haven’t mastered any combat skills.

I only just started mastering some of the basic battle skills, but&h.e.l.lip;..that would at most increase my abilities by 10%.

If that thief were actually strong there’s no chance I’d beat him.

As I was thinking about this, I could hear the sound of the carriage door opening behind me.

Behind me, a blonde haired girl that was wearing a Gothic Lolita dress jumped down from the carriage – – – Ueh!?

“Onii-san, thank you for saving me!”

The blonde girl suddenly jumped toward me and I reflexively embraced her – – – I almost screamed out of habit.

I suddenly had a flashback to when Hinano was stabbing me.

After hearing her words of grat.i.tude I expected her to say, “That’s why I’ll kill you so we can be together forever.”

But this blonde haired girl isn’t acting suspiciously. She’s just hugging me gently.

Maybe she is just a normal girl – – – I slowly looked down at the girl clinging to me.

Her head was about level with my neck and she appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. I could only see part of her face, but she’s definitely cute for her age.

She doesn’t look at all like a Yandere.

&h.e.l.lip;..No, it’s still too early for me to decide that.

The younger girls usually behave like an ordinary beautiful girl and can suddenly change. I’ll have to be cautious around her for a while.

“Rose ojou-sama, aren’t you being rude to your saviour?”

Apparently, my cautious att.i.tude came off as me being more annoyed than anything.

The female guard that was speaking with me earlier cautioned the girl. Immediately after, the girl named Rose suddenly jumped back and said, “E-Excuse me.”

She seemed to be panicking a little, but then, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and politely curtsied.

“I’m sorry about that. My name is Rose, I am the eldest daughter of the Brad family. Thank you for saving me earlier.”

Her childlike behaviour seemed to completely disappear and she was now acting like a proper lady. She said she was the daughter of the Brad family; does that mean she’s n.o.bility?

I was a little surprised once I got a good look at her face. Her left eye was blue, while her right eye is a bright gold. She was the owner of some mysterious eyes.

That’s right&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;almost like a demon.

“Umm? Can you tell me your name?”

“Ah, sorry. My name is Minas – – – Sorry, my name is Yuzuki.”

There’s a chance that only the n.o.bility have family names in this world so I made sure to tell her only my first name.

“Yuzuki onii-san then.”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Onii-san?”

“Yes, it just felt right&h.e.l.lip;..Do you not like it?”

“Ah, no it’s fine.”

It’s embarra.s.sing for me to call the G.o.ddess Medea-nee, but I’m used to being called onii-san.

By the way, I didn’t have a younger sister. Rather, there was a younger girl in my neighbourhood that would call me that. I remember she would say stuff like, “I love you onii-chan. So, if you talk to another girl&h.e.l.lip;..I’ll kill you, okay?”

“Thank you so much, Yuzuki onii-san. Thank you for helping us. Would you mind coming to my house?”

“Eh, your house&h.e.l.lip;..”

“Yes, I really want to thank you properly&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;is that no good?”

“Just a normal thank you is enough for me&h.e.l.lip;..”

I’m getting a strange feeling from her. Something like, I’ll give my life to you in return! Or, I’ll lock you in a room and take care of you forever!

Does she really just want to thank me&h.e.l.lip;..Should I believe her?

“Umm, am I causing you trouble?”

Rose looked a bit sad when I started being suspicious of her.

She’s not showing any signs of being a Yandere like that young girl from my neighbourhood. Maybe she really is just thankful.

&h.e.l.lip;.That’s right.

If Rose is Yandere it will be difficult, but&h.e.l.lip;..she’s not showing any signs of being one. And if I just suspect everyone of being Yandere I’ll never be able to talk with anyone.

Let’s believe in Rose – – – I decided to accept her invitation.

Brad Family Hospitality

We had been sitting in the carriage for about an hour now. It was when the clock in the log window displayed 17 o’clock that we arrived at a city.

The cityscape was illuminated by the setting sun and it was more beautiful than I would’ve imagined.

The main street was cobblestone and there was no waste in sight. This city is more hygienic than I had expected. Maybe they actually have some infrastructure in place. Like a water system and maybe even plumbing.

This definitely doesn’t look anything like a medieval city&h.e.l.lip;. Medea-nee did say due to the magic in this world, the civilization was more advanced. I guess this is what she meant.

Anyway, we continued travelling along several large roads before eventually arriving at the Brad family’s estate.

After pa.s.sing through the gate we continued traveling for nearly a minute before the site of the main house came into view.

“Yuzuki onii-san, come on!”

I guess she’s going to be my guide. As I climbed down from the carriage, Rose linked her arm with mine.

She’s kind of acting like my girlfriend. While we were riding in the carriage, we were able to talk for a while and I was able to get a better idea of what kind of personality she has.

I was worried that she’d be Yandere but I guess I had no reason to worry.

“Yuzuki onii-san, Yuzuki onii-san!

“Yes?”

Rose pulled me inside the mansion and handed me over to a maid. I guess she first wants me to take a bath to, ‘wash off the dirt of the road.’

As someone who was born in j.a.pan, it feels a bit strange to suddenly be asked to take a bath when first arriving at someone’s house&h.e.l.lip;.but I guess to the n.o.bility it’s a pretty common gesture.

By the way, I’ve now all but confirmed this city has a functional plumbing system. When I turned the faucet in the bath, hot water started coming out. The room appeared to be lit by some light source that wasn’t a torch or a lamp.

I’m not sure if every house is like this or just the n.o.bility, but&h.e.l.lip;..at the very least this world might not be as hard to live in as I thought.

Anyway, after I finished my bath, I changed into the clothes that had been set out for me. Shortly after, I was guided to the drawing room by a maid.

These look like antiques. Well, in this world this stuff is probably the latest furniture.

Rose and a strange woman were currently standing side by side in the room. Rose was also taking a bath separately from me. Her blonde hair is still a little wet.

“You are Yuzuki-san? I am Mary Brad, the Countess, and head of the Brad family. I heard that you saved my daughter. You have my sincere grat.i.tude.”

The woman named Mary lowered her head and Rose quickly followed suit.

“Thank you for your gracious hospitality.”

I politely responded back to her and turned my eyes toward Mary.

To be honest, Rose’s mother seems very young. At the oldest, she’s maybe in her late twenties though it’s possible she could even be in her late teens. Maybe she isn’t Rose’s birth mother.

&h.e.l.lip;. Now that I think about it, this time period would probably have a pretty high mortality rate. Children would mature faster and marry a lot younger. If I think about it like that, the people of this world probably get married in their early teens.

“I was told you’re a commoner but I can see you have some manners.”

“Thank you very much. I’m trying to educate myself properly. I may say some strange things, but please forgive me if that does happen.”

This actually is true in more ways than one.

I’m not talking about the j.a.panese language, but the language of this world. As of now, my comprehension of this world’s language is about the same as my understanding of j.a.panese.

The reason for this is thanks to something Medea-nee did when I was reincarnated&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;For better or worse, my understanding of this world’s language is somewhat decent.

In other words, more ambiguous words in j.a.panese are still ambiguous in this world.

After all, I was just a high school student. I don’t know how to behave around royalty. That’s why, I thought it would be best to apologize before I make any mistakes.

“Indeed, acting courteous is important, but I won’t force my daughter’s saviour to do so. Please, speak normally if that’s easier for you.”

“But &h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;”

“Yuzuki onii-san, I’d be happy if you would.”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;..Alright, if Rose says so. Then, I’ll speak informally.”

I shrugged my shoulders and listened to Rose’s request. We had the same conversation in the carriage and I lost there so I felt no need to argue now.

“Fufu~ you two are awfully close.”

“M-Mother!?”

Rose quickly turned red. I guess with what her mother said&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.that’s an understandable reaction.

“Oh, with that kind of reaction, maybe I was right?”

Yes, please don’t look at me in any kind of meaningful way. Or say something like, “I won’t forgive you for trying to steal my daughter’s hand.” As if she was able to tell how anxious I was feeling, Mary started laughing.

“You don’t need to worry. I encourage my daughter to love whomever she wants.”

Then, Rose please don’t look at me in any kind of meaningful way. I still don’t feel that way about you&h.e.l.lip;..and I turned my eyes to look at her.

She’s maybe one or two years younger than me. She has one gold and one blue eye and her blonde hair is styled in twin tails. More importantly, she seems to be more concerned about others safety than her own.

She’s definitely a girl I could fall in love with.

&h.e.l.lip;.. Well, to be honest, appearance doesn’t even matter much.

I don’t care what she looks like if she’s younger or older, or beautiful or ugly. Just as long as she isn’t Yandere. It is more than enough just for her to not be Yandere.

&h.e.l.lip;..Seriously, all the girls I got along with in my previous life were Yanderes.

They would always get angry if I even just talked with another girl. I could never like a girl that can’t understand my own circ.u.mstances and just tries to impose her own values on me.

But Rose cares about others and she’s cute. A girl like this is a rare sight to me&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.I need to calm down.

It’s rude of me to consider her a romantic interest just because she’s cute.

“U-Umm, Yuzuki onii-san? If you stare at me so much&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I’ll start to get embarra.s.sed.”

“—Ah, sorry.”

I panicked and looked away from her. Mary, who was watching us, laughed at how awkward we were. It’s embarra.s.sing.

“I’m sure both of you would like to talk a lot, but let’s first eat. Yuzuki-san, please take a seat.”

Mary said this and sat down at the table. After I sat down, Rose seemed to be sulking for a moment. She then walked around the table, past her mother, and sat down in the chair next to me.

“Oh, Rose really does like Yuzuki-san.”

“Well, that’s&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;That’s because earlier he was so cool. He rushed into the fight to protect me and he even defeated the people that attacked me in a single blow.”

“Oh, is Yuzuki-san really that strong?”

“No, that’s not the case. And I didn’t defeat them in one hit.”

“You might as well have. You knocked down that one thief in one hit and the rest ran away after seeing it.”

“That really is&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;quite strong.”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Thank you.”

To be honest, I don’t think I’m that strong. I have yet to confirm it, but&h.e.l.lip;..I think the reason I was able to defeat that thief so easily, was due to one of the t.i.tles I’ve acquired.

So, even if they tell me I’m strong, I feel a little embarra.s.sed. It’s embarra.s.sing, but&h.e.l.lip;..these two seem to just think I’m being modest.

“Not trying to be a show off is also cool.”

“That’s true. It is certainly nice to see.”

Somehow their opinion of me is still rising.

I definitely don’t want to be questioned anymore about my strength — and, as if to grant my wish, a maid entered the room to serve dinner.

After that, I tried to make idle chatter without touching on the subject of romance. Incidentally, I also used this opportunity to ask various questions about this world, while also trying to avoid seeming suspicious.

“Well then, does the Brad family govern this island?”

“Yes, that’s right. Our ancestors were given this land by the King a long time ago. Since then, my family has governed this land.”

I learned that on this island there are many different towns and villages. The population of the island is in the tens of thousands and the Brad family governs over the main island.

I seemed to have helped the daughter of some amazing family.

“Still, it is quite unusual for one to be on this island and not know of the Brad family.”

“Well, that’s&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;..it’s really just a coincidence. I just happened to drift here.”

“Drift here? Does that mean you were shipwrecked?”

“Umm&h.e.l.lip;..Well, something like that.”

I obviously can’t tell her I’ve been reincarnated. I’ll just need to be vague with my backstory. Now that I think about it, I may have just admitted to entering this island illegally.

“Umm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Is it okay that I entered this island without permission?”

“Of course. Usually, we wouldn’t allow ordinary people to enter or exit the island without the proper permissions, but if you were shipwrecked than you’d be an obvious exception. And of course, I’d make an exception for my daughter’s saviour.”

“I see&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Thank you.”

I was a bit careless there, but I seem to have unexpectedly been granted permission to be on this island.

Still&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Mary and Rose are more normal than I expected. Of course, Mary is a countess, so she’s more elegant than an average person, but&h.e.l.lip;..I definitely don’t see either of them being Yanderes.

I suddenly woke up in this game-like world and met Rose — I was unreasonably suspicious of her.

It really seems like I was wrong about her.

After that, we continued talking for a little while. Then, I could hear the faint sound of a bell coming from somewhere in the house.

The bell rang for a while and it kind of sounded like it was meant to inform you of something — but when I checked the time in my log window, it was only 19 o’clock.

Is this bell really just meant to tell the residents it’s 19 o’clock&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.?

In medieval Europe, there would be no accurate way of telling the time, but according to my log window, the time is exactly 19 o’clock. It’s possible that in this world there is some way of accurately telling the time.

If that is the case, then there must be someone that checked the time and is now ringing that bell manually — but as I thought about it more, a sudden chill ran down my spine.

— What? What is this? What could possibly cause me to instantly break out in a cold sweat!?

I hurriedly look around to see if anyone else entered the room, but it was just the three of us. Mary and Rose just sat there, staring at me.

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Yuzuki onii-san, is something wrong?”

“Eh? No, it’s nothing really, but&h.e.l.lip;..I just suddenly got the chills.”

“Is that so? Maybe you were still wet from the bath? I’m sorry we hurried you out of there.”

“Ah, no I don’t think it’s that. You don’t need to apologize.”

Rose is afraid I might catch a cold after getting out of the bath. I don’t want to make her sad by causing her to be worried about me.

But&h.e.l.lip;..why? Even now, that cold feeling won’t go away.

“Hey&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Yuzuki onii-san, do you have to leave?”

“Eh? Ah~, well&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I wonder?”

“Would you like to work at the house?”

“Eh, you mean work here?”

“Yes. Someone so skilled could definitely be my escort. Or if there’s something else you’d like to do, you can do that.”

“That is&h.e.l.lip;..well”

I don’t have anywhere else to go.

If I stay in this mansion, I could fall in love with a normal girl — I may even be able to make clothing if I stay here.

However, if I don’t earn more SP, I won’t be able to raise the rank of ‘Immortality.’ Even if I were to start a normal romance, eventually, I would be the only one left.

So —

“I’m sorry. I would like to be able to go around and visit various places. So, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to come back and visit often, but working at this house is a bit much&h.e.l.lip;.”

I tried to turn down her offer gently. Right after that, Rose looked very lonely and said, “I see&h.e.l.lip;”

“Umm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s fine. It can’t be helped if Yuzuki onii-san wants to visit many places. Still, I’m not giving up. I’d be happy if one day you want to work here.”

She responded in a very mature way and I smiled as hard as I could.

&h.e.l.lip;.Yup, there’s no way such a gentle girl could be Yandere. Now I want to prioritize raising my ‘Immortality’ skill&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;..Once I’m ready to settle down, working here doesn’t seem so bad.

“Hey, hey, Yuzuki onii-san, could you at least stay here a couple days?”

“Umm&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.I wouldn’t be too troublesome?”

“There’s no way you’d be a burden to me. Hey, Mother, he can stay for a couple days, right?”

Rose pleaded with Mary. In response, Rose nodded as if to say, “Of course.” She then turned her kind eyes to me.

“You are my daughter’s saviour. Please, stay as long as you’d like.”

“Then&h.e.l.lip;..I’ll accept your offer.”

Even though I’d like to travel around more, I should probably learn more about this world. Besides, I’d like to get to know Rose a little more.

“If so, I’ll have more food brought in.”

Mary gives orders to a Maid, who quickly ran out of the room and brought in more dishes.

The time period of this world is only medieval Europe so the food culture isn’t that advanced, but the feeling of eating dinner with a family is nice. It’s something I haven’t felt since I lost my parents.

I was enjoying the calm atmosphere when my eyes seemed to be slowly closing —

Before I even realized it, I was in a dimly lit room with both my hands and feet restrained.

Night Battle with Rose
 

I’m currently in a dim room with both my hands and feet tied up.

“Mmuh–!?”

What kind of situation is this!? I try to cry out for help, but a gag has been forced into my mouth.

“&h.e.l.lip;..Fu~fu~, Yuzuki onii-san finally woke up.”

I could hear an innocent voice coming from somewhere above me.

I twisted my neck to look around and I was able to see Rose’s face looking down at me. Her position was confusing me until I realized she had my head sitting on her lap.

“What’s going on!? What are you planning to do!?”

“Fufu, I don’t know what you’re saying.”

Rose smiled and removed the gag.

“What are you planning on doin— mugu!?”

Once I was able to talk, my mouth was immediately covered again.

— However, this time it wasn’t a gag, Rose’s small lips were covering my mouth&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;is this a kiss!? Why is she kissing me!? What is going on!?

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.~n chu~&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;ha~a”

A few minutes pa.s.sed while she continued to do this before she finally moved back. There was a transparent thread of saliva that connected Rose’s mouth to mine.

I had been holding my breath almost the entire time and was only now able to breathe comfortably.

“&h.e.l.lip;haa&h.e.l.lip;..haa&h.e.l.lip;..Rose, what are you&h.e.l.lip;.”

“Fufu, that was my first kiss. Make sure you remember it.”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I won’t forget. I’m sure I’ll remember this situation for the rest of my life.”

Why do I feel so unfortunate to take a girl’s first kiss? More importantly what is with this situation!? I’m tied up in a dimly-lit room and a young blonde girl just forced a kiss onto me.

Even if I wanted to forget this I wouldn’t be able to.

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;So, why am I tied up? If you’re willing to explain, I’d like to hear the reason.”

When I tried yelling, she forced her lips onto mine.This time, I’ll try asking in a calm voice. To my question, Rose answered with a truly innocent smile.

“Yuzuki onii-san is bad. I asked you to stay with me here and you refused&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.So, obviously, I had no choice.”

“Wait, you’re saying you’ve tied me up here because you didn’t get what you wanted?”

After hearing Rose’s words, I got a little angry.

Because she didn’t get what she wanted, she forced me to do what she wanted. She’s just like every other Yandere I’ve met.

I thought Rose was a kind girl that cared for others, but&h.e.l.lip;.it was just my misunderstanding. Therefore, I’m angry with myself for believing in Rose even for a moment.

I’m becoming visibly irate at this point and Rose is just continuing to look down at me.

“&h.e.l.lip;..What is it?”

“Yuzuki onii-san, you don’t need to be scared.”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I think most people would be frightened in this situation.”

Well, it’s not like I haven’t been in a situation like this before. In the worst case, I’ll be killed, but then I’ll just revive anyway.

On top of that, my willpower rank is AAA and my fear resistance is B so I’m not feeling too scared. To be honest, I’m not really scared at all.

But, I have no reason to tell that to Rose.

“You say that, but you’re not trembling at all. After all, Yuzuki onii-san truly is amazing. From the first moment I saw you, I felt like we were destined to be together.”

“Destined to be together&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;are you sure it’s just not a misunderstanding?”

It’s a terrible thing to say, but I don’t have much choice here.

Because of my rare skill being rank SSS, I’m sure it’s having a strong effect on this young girl.

Well, it is nice that she seems to love me, but&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;If she just likes me because of the skill, it would be less nice. Rather, if she likes me because of the skill, I’d feel bad for influencing her in this way.

“We’re finally alone now, but you don’t seem to be happy.”

“Well, my hands and feet are tied up so there’s not a lot of reasons for me to be happy.”

“That’s because Yuzuki onii-san is too strong. I’m trying to convince you to stay with me, but if I let you go free you’ll just run away.”

“If I tell you that I won’t run away, will you free me?”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Do you promise?”

Rose looked deep into my eyes with her multicoloured eyes. It seems that she’s trying to decide if I’m telling the truth or not.

But that also means, If I can make her believe me, she will untie me.

I looked straight into her eyes and nodded.

“&h.e.l.lip;..Then, if I untie you, will you listen to what I have to say? You promise that you won’t leave this room?”

“Yes, I promise you.”

Of course, I’m lying. Still, lying to such a young girl feels wrong.

But I really don’t want to spend the rest of my life trapped in a room by a Yandere girl. Shortly after, Rose smiled and said, “It’s a promise,” and she untied my arms and feet.

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Too easy.

But, I still need to be cautious. It would be stupid to try to run away now.

I sit up first and make no move to leave the room. I say, “Thank you,” to Rose and gently pat her head.

Rose narrowed her eyes and seemed to enjoy the feeling.

“Hey&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;Yuzuki onii-san, that feels good, but you know you can touch me in other places too&h.e.l.lip;”

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;other places?”

“Yeah, other places. Yuzuki onii-san is mine, but I am also yours. So, if there’s anything you want to do to me, I’ll let you.”

“A-Anything?”

“Well, if there’s any clothing you’d like me to wear, even bold clothing, I’ll wear them. If there’s anything you want me to do to you&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.I’ll do it.”

“T-That’s&h.e.l.lip;..”

I instinctively swallowed my saliva.

No, it’s not like that. This kind of reaction is only natural for a man. Rose is an incredibly beautiful girl. To say I can do anything — of course I’d be interested&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;I need to calm down.

If I succ.u.mb to temptation here, I’ll lose my chance to escape from this room.

“Yuzuki onii-san?”

“Umm, well&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;It’s a very attractive proposal, but I’m really thirsty. Could I get some water?”

“&h.e.l.lip;.You’re thirsty?”

“Yeah, it’s painful.”

I’m trying to create a chance for me to escape, but I really am thirsty. I’m currently in a dark room on a bed with a beautiful girl and all I can think about is my dry throat.

“Okay, then, I’ll get you some water. In the meantime, Yuzuki onii-san should think of what you’d like to do to me&h.e.l.lip;”

“Y-Yeah, I’ll think about it.”

After I nodded, Rose left the room to get some water. I let out a sigh of relief when I confirm she’s completely gone.

&h.e.l.lip;.Alright, I should be fine now.

Then, I need to think about what to do before Rose gets back — not what to do to her, but how to escape. I need to get away and this will be my only chance to do so&h.e.l.lip;..

&h.e.l.lip;..Well, it would be nice to see the innocent Rose dressed in provocative clothing and I could enjoy her embarra.s.sed expressions. I could even teach the innocent Rose about various&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.

No! This isn’t the time to be thinking about that!

Though I’m definitely in a pretty bad situation, I still feel pretty calm.

That’s definitely due to my fear resistance, but I’m actually being tempted by her. It might be better for me to increase my seduction resistance.

&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;This isn’t the best time for me to be thinking about this.

I made up my mind and looked toward the door that Rose went through. I made sure that I couldn’t hear any noise from outside the door and I slowly&h.e.l.lip;quietly&h.e.l.lip;.opened the door —- Why won’t it open!?

U-Uh&h.e.l.lip;.That’s strange. I don’t remember Rose unlocking the door when she left, nor did I hear her lock it when she left. It shouldn’t be locked.

No, it’s definitely not locked by a key. I can’t seem to turn the doork.n.o.b with my hand.

Could it be that I subconsciously just want to stay here and do stuff to Rose? That’s ridiculous&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;.There’s no way that’s true.

There has to be some kind of magic that was applied to the door.

I don’t know the exact details, but it seems impossible for me to escape using this door. Let’s try the window.

It might be locked&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;It opened!

I could escape from here, but the ground is probably two meters or so below the window. There is a chance I could seriously hurt my feet dropping from this height, but in the worst case scenario, I always have ‘Immortality.’

The door is impossible to open so I have no choice. I put one foot on the window frame and pulled myself up — as I stood there, a sudden fear gripped my heart.

“Guh—–ha, wh-what is this? What&h.e.l.lip;..What’s going on — kuh!”

I can’t stop trembling, even my breathing is getting ragged. My fear resistance and willpower don’t even seem to be making a difference.

—Why am I trembling?

The door slowly opened and Rose entered carrying a tray with a cup of water.
