Ch 21 - What is a Yandere?

Here's the 3rd last chapter to go, before we hit the current "end" of the series; in which the author is currently revamping everything entirely from chapter 1.

Is the TLing of further current chapters worth it then? Maybe. just for archiving's sake, and for answering current questions about the current chapters. (namely Hiroto's origin) Plus to be able to pacify the more die-hard fans who want to know everything that happened.

After I had finished with the current chapters, I'll put up a [Ch xx (new)] to let you guys know that it's the revamped version.

Anyway, enjoy.

TL Note: Thanks to SoushiYC for helping to clean up this chapt!


Chapter 21 - Sealed Memories 2


I, who was supposed to drown together with Asaka, felt my stomach was being pressed down in a sequence, and the water I drank when I fell into the river was gradually being spat out from my mouth and onto the grass side beside me.

I opened up my eyes agonizingly; and as I saw the yellow-ish skyline above me, I knew that I had been saved, and my vision turned towards the guy in front of me saving my life; noticing that the person is wearing a green colored mask, as he still intently focused on compressing my stomach continuously.

"Is it Mokuzai?"

(TL: Mokuzai = "wood" in japanese.)

"Coughcough.....coughcoughcough, Asa......"

"Waka-sama, you have awakened. Kaze is currently saving ojou-sama, and she's about to wake up.

(TL:  waka-sama = "young master"; ojou-sama = "young mistress", kaze = "wind")

As if he understood my heart's worry, Mokuzai stopped his hand movements of compressing my stomach and said to me.

Feeling that my right hand is still being gripped tightly by something, I turned to the right to look, to realize that the one gripping my right hand is none other than an unconscious Asaka. A lady wearing a blue mask is currently busying compressing Asaka's stomach, and I grinned my teeth towards her.

"Even if she's unconscious she still doesn't let go huh?"

I lowered my head again to see the uncounscious Asaka, and I finally broke free from her grip after exerting an unimaginably amount of effort; before standing up to sit onto the grasspatch while kept looking at Asaka's cute face.

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a distant figure of a man walking towards us. Take who was standing beside us turned too to look at what I was staring at, before turning out a knife from his pocket, staying cautiously on guard. 

(TL: Take means "bamboo" in jap, it's prounounced as ta-ke")

As the figure approached closer, Take suddenly knelt on the floor and shouted. "Master."

(TL: I can't remember the term for master atm, brain ded, so I placed this)

"Otou-san?"

(TL: Hirito was being formal)

A man who had his arm placed behind his back walked towards me, his eyes' glint as he stared over gave me some sort of pressure; that man is me and Asaka's father.

"Tell me, Hiroto, what exactly happened to the both of you." Otou-san walked to right besides the still-dripping-wet me and asked.

I lowered my head to peek a glance at the still uncounsious Asaka, before biting my lips and saying: "Otou-san, I secretly came out to the riverside to play with paper boats, then Asaka nee-chan came to find me, afterwards I tried to play around with her, before accidentally falling into the river; Asaka nee-chan fell into the river too as she tried to save me."

Otou-san seemingly became rather surprised, he blinked before looking at me furiously: "Is this true?"

"Y-.......yes it is." Feeling that my face was slightly hot, I quickly lowered my head and replied.

"What's the fourth rule of the Takeno family?"

I immediately responded: "Because of one's negligance that had caused a fellow family member to be harmed, even if the other person is the head of the house, he must go to the stone monument behind the hills of the Takeno's family and kneel there for a day and night."

"Mm, well said, since Asaka seemed to be fine, tonight you shall not eat anything then, firstly go kneel in front of the monument for one night. Go on, I'll wait here for Asaka to wake up."

"Yes, otou-san." I threw one last glance at Asaka lying on the ground, and walked away without turning back.

Except I didn't realize that otou-san still stared at my distancing figure for quite a while before he laughed, saying: "This brat, does he really think that I don't know what was going on?"

The clouds on the sky covered the moonlight, as the moonlight kept disappearing and reappearing from within the clouds. The sky was dark, making the scenery in front hard to see. Walking on the road towards the back of the hills, I can see multitude of trees among the darkness with varying shapes and sizes, it felt that those trees are like an army of ferocious fanged beasts, which seemed like they were ready anytime to pounce and eat me up. I wrapped my hands over my thin layer of clothes, to realize that it wasn't yet dry from earlier; I've started to feel bone chilled as I gave off a loud sneeze.

Just as my fear was about reach its peak, I've reached the area where the stone monument is.

I glanced up to look at the stone monument and sighed, before kneeling onto the grass before the stone monument and started to appraise it.

The stone monument's height was about two meters tall, it's surface was a greyish-white color, and on it carved many curvish writings; seeing it made me feel rather giddy, I don't even know what country's language this was.

As the wind blew onto my slightly damp clothes, my tiny body started shivering in cold uncontrollably, but my knees never once left the grass.

"Hiroto, Hiroto are you here?" While kneeling on the ground boredly I heard Asaka's voice.

"Asaka no big baka? Is it a dream~ how could Asaka be over here right now."

"Hiroto I've finally found you." A little girl wearing blue strapped blouse appeared from within the darkness.

"Asaka!??? Why are you over here." Confused, I said while tilting my head as I saw the approaching figure of Asaka.

"Hi,hiroto......waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh it's all my fault." Seeing me kneeling onto the ground, Asaka burst into tears and ran towards me, pouncing me onto the ground as she came over.

"Owowowowow, what d'you mean that it's all your fault? Big baka why are you crying."

"*sobsob*.....Hiroto it's all my fault,when I woke up...... *sobsobsob*..... after changing my clothes I asked Kaze where were you *sobsobsob*...... she refused to tell me, but after I kept asking her, she then hesitantly told me that you had already took the blame for my actions and was being punished, and was kneeling over here *sobsobsob*...... it's all my fault, if i didn't want to take that paper boat, then you wouldn't fall into the river with me, and tell otou-san that its your fault *sobsobsob*......"

Asaka which had pounced on me onto the ground is currently curled up in my arms, both hands grasping my shirt while wailing and saying. When she cried, her breath made me feel rather itchy even through the dampened shirt.

"Asaka big baka, this isn't your fault."

Asaka upon hearing this sentence, stopped crying as she glanced her head upwards from my arms to look at me. Her eyes that were already reddish sore from crying does indeed gave off a pitiful look about it, as I stroked Asaka's hair and gently told her: "Asaka big baka, your mucus is now all over my clothes."

Asaka hurriedly then used her hands to check her face, and when realizing that there wasn't any mucus on her face that I had said, she puffed up her cheeks, saying: "Aaaahhhh, Hiroto y-y-y-y-y-you are so bad."

Afterwords she started to tickle my armpits.

"Aahahahahahahahahahahhhh, Asa, Asaka........big....baka, stop it, it's very itchy Ahahahahahahhhhhh."

I started to counter back in return, and started tickling her as well, Asaka gave off a moan of laughter, and both of us started to play around right in front of the stone monument.

When I wanted to continue tickling her armpits again, I accidentally brushed off the straps of her blouse, revealing her white shoulders before my eyes, and Asaka immediately stopped her hand movements and remained silent.

I thought that I've made Asaka mad, so I hastily said: "Sorry Asaka, sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

As I apologized, the Asaka lying onto me suddenly leapt forward and kissed me; as I felt the softness of her lips, while feeling Asaka clumsily licking her tongue onto my lips.

Originally being hidden by the clouds, the moon teasingly appeared out of nowhere, and from the moonlight I could clearly see Asaka's eyes closed shut as she licked my lips in what it seemed to be her enjoying something rather delicious. Seeing her long eyebrows gently fluttering, I blanked out as it was the first time that this sort of thing had happened to me.
