Chapter 175: Suddenly Turning Yandere, The Situation Takes a Sharp Turn for the Worse

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Suddenly Turning Yandere, The Situation Takes a Sharp Turn for the Worse

Early morning.

Ichiko, who had a refreshing night’s sleep, felt incredibly energetic.

"Hm~"

Wearing a somewhat thin and transparent nightgown, Ichiko sat up with her hands clasped together, making a seductive sound.

She reached out to touch the blanket, but didn’t feel the warm and soft hair like a kitten.

No, she touched a cat.

Ichiko lifted the blanket and saw Dan comfortably squinting its eyes, its little tail wagging back and forth, looking very content.

But the one she wanted to see wasn’t this cat.

"Where’s Haruko?"

"She actually got up earlier than me, how novel."

Normally, even if Haruko was already awake after she woke up, she would burrow into her arms and just keep staring at her face.

While wearing a faint, affectionate smile.

"What time is it now?"

Ichiko reached for her phone, but then saw the double figurine placed on the table next to her.

Her in the black dress, aggressively about to invade Haruko in the white princess dress.

Every time she looked at it, she felt as if the figurines were about to come alive.

"I should ask Haruko about this figurine later. That black dress doesn’t really suit me."

Getting out of bed, picking up a hair tie and holding it in her mouth, Ichiko smoothed her long hair with her hand while looking for Haruko.

She wasn’t in the living room, but the air conditioner that was turned off before bed last night had been turned on early.

Clearly, Haruko had gotten up very early.

Is she in... the kitchen?

Sounds like trickling water drifted into Ichiko’s ears from the kitchen. The sound was very faint, but it was so obvious in the quiet living room.

She walked to the front of the kitchen and saw the small figure with her back to her, fiddling with something.

"Haruko, what are you doing?"

"Pouring wine."

"Wine?"

Haruko slowly turned around, a light, healing, and affectionate smile on her lips, just like usual.

But her eyes were incredibly strange.

The cat-like vertical pupils were full of aggression and even emitted faint red light.

Forming a stark contrast with the healing smile on her lips.

But it didn’t feel out of place at all.

Ichiko even had a feeling that the Haruko in front of her was the real Haruko!

But what was even more terrifying wasn’t her expression, but the hand she held when she turned around.

She was holding a bottle of white wine and pouring it into a glass.

In the middle of winter... drinking alcohol?

The sound of splashing continued.

With a "tap", a splash of water fell straight onto the floor.

Colliding, splashing, scattering, as if to engrave a rose on the floor tiles.

And it was with her turning around that her other suspended hand stopped at the glass.

The white wine was full.

A common glass is 250ml.

And Haruko was clearly nearing the end, remembering the burning and spicy feeling in her throat, Ichiko couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

She turned sideways, and the terrifying scene was reflected in Ichiko’s eyes, completely freezing the faint smile that had been on the latter’s lips.

"Ichiko, you’re up. Did you sleep well last night?"

Haruko’s usual sweet voice fell into Ichiko’s ears.

It should have been cute and healing.

For some who are sensitive to voices, it was even heavenly music.

But listening to it in Ichiko’s ears, it was incredibly grating.

Get up?

Slept well?

Last night she was clearly so well-behaved, sleeping in her arms, and Haruko hadn’t been stimulated at all, so why did she turn out like this after waking up?

Did she have a nightmare?

From being well-behaved to turning yandere again.

No, no, no, no, no!

This is probably not caused by stimulation at all, it’s completely different from the usual blackening!

The way she is now is more like...

She is actively showing her yandere side.

As if she is softly saying to her, "The me you see now is the real me~"

Ichiko’s brain hadn’t adapted yet after just waking up, her mind was full of possibilities as to why Haruko had become like this again, but she couldn’t accept the scene before her.

What she wanted was still the well-behaved Haruko.

But...

That Haruko seemed to be gone.

She almost subconsciously repeated the question she had just asked, "Haruko, what... are you doing?"

Haruko shook the white wine in the glass.

She smiled lightly, "Ichiko said you’re afraid of the cold in winter, how about drinking some wine to warm up?"

"No... that’s not right, is it?"

"Hm?" Haruko tilted her head, "Is there anything wrong? I listen to Ichiko very much, and Ichiko should listen to me, but why do you always show rejection towards me?"

"You really don’t like me anymore, do you?"

A glass of white wine was raised in front of her.

"If Ichiko is drunk, will you tell me the truth?"

By the time Ichiko reacted belatedly, her back was already drenched in cold sweat.

Drinking?

No, what’s more important now is that Haruko has turned yandere again!

And without any warning!

Ichiko snatched the wine glass, placed it heavily on the counter, and then grabbed Haruko’s hand, about to drag her out to the living room, "Come with me first!"

"Come?" Haruko’s voice gradually faded, "Come over for what?"

Ichiko’s pupils contracted, she found that she couldn’t pull Haruko at all!

She, who was usually delicate, now had more strength than herself.

She was a little anxious and even more unable to accept Haruko being like this in front of her. She shouted loudly, "Haruko, what are you thinking? I’ve always said I like you, but when have I ever rejected you!"

Unexpectedly, Haruko only replied coldly, "Ichiko, the liking you talk about, is that the liking you pretend to have?"

"What—?"

"I said it, didn’t I?" Haruko flicked her hand, easily breaking free from Ichiko’s grip, "In that suicide note, I said I could feel Ichiko’s perfunctoriness, and even after I woke up, Ichiko still hasn’t changed."

Ichiko took a step back and explained in a panic, "That’s not it, I’ve already..."

I’m already forcing myself to like you!

However, before she could finish her sentence, she was quickly interrupted by Haruko’s loud shout, "What else are you trying to be perfunctory with by explaining!"

Haruko was very agitated.

Those vertical pupils made no secret of the possessiveness and regret within them.

The sharp turn for the worse, even so sudden that it was completely impossible to react, made Ichiko’s heart sink to the bottom.

The possibilities she had originally anticipated, such as Haruko being disappointed, angry, resentful, or even blackening into a yandere after waking up, were not non-existent.

They were just late.

During her hospitalization, she had been hiding her emotions.

What she held in her heart was probably her last hope.

She couldn’t feel genuine liking from her.

The hope, too, was shattered.
