It Seems Like I Got Reincarnated Into The World of a Yandere Otome Game Chapter 60 - Volume 4

Extra Arc

『Modern-era』ver Shade

*An extra-arc gag chapter. It’s a ‘If the characters in yandere oto~ were high school school students in the modern era’ kind of story. The character developnts are different from the original story and contain elents of what ifs.

「It seems like Shade turned into a delinquent......」 said Crinum, hanging her head down in sha.

Crinum and Shade were my cousins, but the two were brother and sister from different mothers. The two had complicated family circumstances.

Though I left out the troubles of the past, the two’s sibling relationship wasn’t so pleasant even now. My aunt, Crinum’s mother, stuck to an attitude of 『having no relation』 with her stepchild, Shade, and she compels Crinum to have that attitude as well.

But Crinum, herself, worries about Shade and often cos to consult with .

「Shade, a delinquent......？」

I imdiately recalled the ti when Shade had only just co to the Rangrutz ho. At that ti, being three years old, he’d been a sweet angelic child with adorable, puffy rose-colored cheeks.

He grew up before we knew it, and the sad thing was, he beca very cheeky. I wonder if he started smoking or sothing when he finally beca a second year high school student.

「That’s right. Recently, he’s even been coming ho late...... and the sll of perfu is often on his clothes, based on what the maids tell . I hear he’s been working part-ti, but it looks like he faked his age a little and is working in a store that handles alcohol......」

「I see. Sort of sounds like he’s dipped a foot into the nightlife. If the school finds out, it would probably be enough to get suspended, wouldn’t it? But still......」

I tried to imagine Shade shaking a cocktail in a bartender getup. Then, I tried to arrange beautiful, mature onee-sans, who like to make passes at younger n, and the like around him.

It beca quite the picture.

「――it is kind of irritating that he’s straying from the right path just to pointlessly look cool. I an, it’s not like he’ll do anything daring like get a pompadour or wear a long tunic」

「Lycoris......。I think that way of thinking is a bit cruel」

Anyway, it ca down to to try talking to Shade.

In truth, I think it would’ve been better if Father was here.

Father loves Shade like he was his own son, so much so that there was a room set up just for him at our house.

Likewise, Shade was also considerably close to Father and he seed to have had various consultations alone with him about particularly difficult tis in his junior days and such. Said Father was currently on a business trip abroad.

So, after I had dinner together with Shade, who visited our house for the weekend, I decided to lecture him.

「Shade. Could you wait for a while before going back to your room? I have sothing to say」

Once I announced this with a formal sounding tone, Shade raised his eyebrow.

「What is it？」

「It seems you’ve been coming ho quite late recently」

「Maybe. I’ve been busy playing around with a new friend I’ve made」

He said, acting indifferently and playing dumb.

When Shade ca to the house, he didn’t make the mistake of having the sll of perfu or anything on him. If he had, he would’ve gotten pressed for answers by his nagging cousin, .

「The friend who makes you sll like alcohol and perfu？」

「......did you hear sothing from Crinum?」

「I take that as a yes, then」

Shade hmphed and did an extrely uncute type of smile.

「I’m working part ti for a while to learn about society. That’s it. I have no particular interest in cheap alcohol or cigarettes」

「Y-your way of saying it is so uncute......」

「I’d appreciate if you don’t describe as that. In the first place, it’s an insult to call a guy who turned sixteen, “cute”」

「It can’t be helped. For , you’re my cute little brother, after all」

「I’m not your little brother」

Since Shade spoke in an icy voice, I got nearly overwheld.

「To begin with, it’s not like you’re even family so please stop acting like you’re my legal guardian」

「I am your family！」

「......you’re wrong」

Shade abruptly turned away.

（You’re going to say that, huh? Well fine！）

「If you’re going to go that far, then be prepared, Shade! I won’t be lenient on soone that’s 『not even family』！」

「......like what can you even do? Are you going to tell the school? Then what if I don’t stop doing it, will you do it even if I drop out of school?」

「Nope. I’m not going to do sothing as tedious as that!」

I gave a snap of my fingers.

On top of the rack that our house’s capable butler soundlessly and smoothly pushed in, was a large television.

「What’s prepared here, you see, is Father’s treasured 『My angels’ growth to adulthood records. Special compilation: Lycoris & Shade edition』！」

「......Ha?」

「My father went abroad on business trips a lot when we were young, right? So, it seems our maids and butlers were given the task to record our lives. These are the ones compiled into a video」

「......Geez, that man......」

When I, myself, found out about this, I also let out a murmur similar to what Shade did just now.

「And so, I don’t know if you rember this or not, but, when you were about four years old, it was the ti when you’d been like the cutest angel. You said sothing like this」

I let out a breath and then reproduced the words Shade said long ago with clear pronunciation.

「『When I grow up,... my dream is to be... Lycoris-oneechan’s・・・・・... bride！』」

The butler said 『that’s right』 and kept on nodding. He had a very good mory, so you could say he rembered more of our childhood than even we knew.

「uwAAAAAAAA！！！！！」

Shade cried out as if to drown out my voice. However, he was too late.

「And this is the video evidence......」

「......！！」

Though Shade rushed out towards the television, not caring about appearances, but the butler gently kept him back.

「Shade-sama. What’s in here is a copy」

「Exactly！ Isn’t that obvious？ Now, Shade！ Can you still bring yourself not to listen to what I say now？ Wanna have it screened？」

As I confidently lay on my back with feet outstretched, Shade fell to one knee in defeat.

「Y-you...... you’ll go this far?！」

「I will！ I told you “I won’t be lenient”, didn’t I?！」

Then, I vigorously kept on talking like I was snapping at him.

「I would’ve tolerated it if you simply went to the extent of wearing a pompadour! But to think, working part-ti by faking your age！！ Even if you can control yourself, it’s not just the allure of alcohol and cigarrettes is the problem！ What were you planning to do if you got involved in any trouble！？Don’t think I’ll bother worrying about you by then！！」

By the end, I was already saying this in tears.

But after Shade stared hard at the tearful , he slumped his shoulders, looking defeated.

Then, he made a long, deep sigh.

Crinum, who noticed his strange behavior in the first place. Father, who offered the video recordings. And, and the butler. This all-out attack – had been a victory of familial love.

I wonder why this Shade turned delinquent.

He’d been an honor student when, before he knew it, his beloved older cousin got engaged, so he rebelled... if that were the case, then it’d be awfully sad.

This Shade didn’t beco Lycoris’s younger brother, so this backstory is where he had a feeling of heterosexual love for Lycoris.
