The Cute Yandere Next to Me

a-kun, do you like reading? ”

”I suppose so. ”

It was less that I enjoyed reading, and more that I didn really have anything else to do. I had always resorted to reading whenever I was put in a situation without a goal in mind.

”Well, do you read any light novels? ”

It was to be expected that shed ask that. Students our age always read light novels.

”I don mind them, there are some that I like. ”

I had nothing against light novels, it was just that I read them the same amount as any other book. So I was just in the mood to read this philosophy book.

”Ooh, which ones are your favourite? ”

”Uh… one I read recently was called My OP Minion System… um… in the Apocalypse or something. ”

”Ah, by H.Z? I liked that novel as well! ”

”Thats good. ”

I had basically given up trying to read my book at this point so I was fully engaged in speaking with Fujiharu-san. She had already swivelled her chair around so that she was looking directly at me so it was kind of awkward if I just kept looking off to the side. I wasn all that good at starting conversations though.

”Are there any other light novels you like? ” She asked

”Um… I also read one about someone being sent to another world to protect a princess… I think that one was pretty good as well. ”

”Someone being sent to another world to protect a princess…. hm—ah! You
e talking about the H.Zs first-ever light novel, right? ”

”Yeah, I think so. ”

”Ah, his works are really good, hes definitely one of my favourite novelists at the moment. Its just a shame that hes a bit sick at the moment, I saw on Twitter a few days ago that he said he was taking a break. ”

”Oh, well, health is important. ”

”Yeah, but now Ill have to wait longer before I can read the next volume of his novels. ”

We were interrupted by the sound of another student entering the classroom. She was a short, brunette girl with a ponytail. She was one of Fujiharu-sans best friends from what I knew.

”Heyo, Sara! ”

”Oh, hey Karen-chan. ”

She looked over and noticed that I was also in the room. As soon as she noticed my presence, she appeared to be trying to make herself less imposing. She dumped her belongings onto her seat before leaving the room again.

”Ah! Did you do the holiday homework for maths? ” She asked.

”Yeah. ”

”Can you please share it with me~ I might have forgotten. ”

She was usually quite an honours student, it was surprising that she would manage to forget the holiday homework, especially since the teacher emphasised the importance of it so much at the end of last semester.

”I suppose. ”

I reached into my bag and pulled out the work that I did.

As she reached into her bag and grabbed her maths book, I saw the completed homework whilst she frantically flipped to an empty page.

”Thank you so much! The teacher wouldve been so angry at me. ”

But Fujiharu-san, you already completed the homework.
