Chapter 40 - Yukino and Tomie

Under normal circumstances, the aloof Yukino would not pay too much attention to others.

But the two people walking towards her now were different.

To be precise, the woman walking in front was different.

Beautiful!

Yukino herself was Sobu High School's top beauty, often referred to as "Orchid in an Empty Valley" or "Ice Queen."

Others, like Kaguya, Yuki, and Asuna, were also beauties with their own unique charms.

But the girl in front of her was different!

Her beauty was strangely enchanting; with just one glance, Yukino felt she could never forget her face... she even felt a hint of jealousy!

Jealousy!?

This situation startled Yukino slightly. She had never thought she would feel jealous of another woman's appearance before!

Subconsciously, Yukino stopped, waiting for the two to get closer.

Her gaze fell upon the girl's face.

An exquisitely beautiful face, every detail flawless, especially the tear mole at the corner of her eye, like the finishing touch.

It wasn't just an embellishment; it was more like a soul anchor, drawing Yukino's gaze.

However, this beauty was ruined by the two people's conversation.

"You trash, just die, okay? You're no longer useful!"

The girl said with disgust.

"Please don't leave me; I gave you all my money, and I owe hundreds of thousands in debt. I can't live without you..."

"So what? What does that have to do with me?"

"I'm sorry, but without you, I can't live!"

"Since that's the case, if you love me so much, then go jump in the river and prove that you truly love me!"

The girl's cold and heartless voice rang out, sending a shiver down Yukino's spine. Only then did she notice that although this girl was incredibly beautiful, with every detail perfect, together they gave her a very, very dangerous feeling!

Like a black mandala blooming on a decaying corpse.

'How could she so easily tell someone to die? That man seems to be her boyfriend!'

Feeling a faint unease in her heart, Yukino thought this woman was overly cruel.

And after the woman's words fell, the man, as if he had received a sacred decree, or as if he had grasped the last straw that could keep the girl by his side, promised.

"Tomie! I will definitely prove that I love you the most!"

With that, he ran towards the distant bridge.

'This person isn't really planning to jump, is he?'

Subconsciously, Yukino wanted to go up and stop him. She couldn't just watch a life disappear before her eyes.

Even if she couldn't save him, she had to do something.

However, before she could run a few steps, the girl named Tomie seemed to finally notice her.

"Tsk!"

Her gaze fell upon Yukino's delicate face. She habitually lowered her eyelids slightly, her long lashes casting shadows on her cheeks. It was a look of disdain and contempt.

'She really hates me?'

Yukino was not very familiar with such a look, as the girls at Sobu High School mostly looked at her with envy or jealousy.

This was the first time Yukino had encountered such a contemptuous and disgusted gaze.

This feeling made Yukino very uncomfortable, giving her the sensation of being targeted by a venomous snake.

"He's your boyfriend, isn't he? Inciting someone to commit suicide is a crime!"

Yukino, passing by Tomie, couldn't help but say coldly.

"Heh~ just a slave, so what!"

Tomie said indifferently, as if the man who had exhausted his family's wealth and incurred a mountain of debt for her vanity was just a noisy fly.

'An incorrigibly malicious woman!'

Yukino had seen many disgusting women, but this was the first time she had seen such an undisguisedly malicious one. As they brushed past each other, Yukino gave up on talking to her.

However, by the time she reached the bridge, it was too late... the man truly didn't hesitate for a moment, flipping and jumping, his movements fluid and swift. Yukino was only a step behind him, and he had already plunged into the rushing river.

"..."

Silently watching the man disappear into the river, Yukino sighed, feeling a little unwell but also respecting his fate.

Only those who help themselves are helped by heaven.

'These uncivilized monkeys are truly terrifying!'

Yukino stated that she couldn't understand these monkeys who thought with their lower bodies.

To go to such lengths for a pretty girl!? He didn't even think about his parents or relatives; he just so easily gave up his life!

She was in a good mood, but seeing these two pieces of trash ruined it!

Yukino thought with annoyance.

Just as Yukino was lamenting, she suddenly noticed movement in the water.

The man was actually struggling in the turbulent water, surfacing.

"Tomie, Tomie, I succeeded, I survived, I proved my love for you!"

In his eyes, a twisted flame called 'love' seemed to burn, strong and stubborn, as he swam back to shore from the river... by virtue of... his 'love' for Tomie?

Such terrifying willpower.

"Is this what Yuki meant by a yandere?"

A chill ran down Yukino's spine, and she suddenly felt that this man was also very dangerous.

Especially watching him, soaking wet, yet joyfully chasing in Tomie's direction.

As if because he successfully survived, that malicious woman would truly keep her promise and be with him!

'He actually thinks that kind of woman would keep her promise!!?'

'Unbelievable!!!'

Yukino sighed in her heart, then fell silent for a moment. She had a feeling that tonight wouldn't be peaceful, so she walked in the direction the man had left.

As Yukino followed them, a few steps later, she arrived at a certain alley.

Her worries had come true.

However, this time, the injured one was no longer the man!

"No, you can't leave me; I won't allow it!"

"Mine!! You are mine!!"

Amidst the man's heart-wrenching cries, Yukino heard the sound of a kitchen knife piercing flesh and chopping.

'No way!'

Yukino's worries seemed to be confirmed.

Standing at the corner of the alley, she cautiously peeked around, and Yukino's pupils constricted.

At this moment, the man had already dismembered Tomie and wrapped her flesh in his own clothes like a treasure, carrying 'Tomie' away.

'!'

Yukino looked at this scene with some surprise, not because she was frightened by the bloody sight, as she had witnessed many bloody scenes.

What was before her was just a small scene.

She was surprised by how that man, who looked frail and weak, managed to dismember a girl in just a few minutes!

His twisted 'love' could unleash such potential!!

Yukino felt that the events she encountered today were somewhat bizarre.

After the man left, Yukino walked into the alley and looked at the bloodstains on the ground. Unintentionally, a little blood got on her shoe.

"She brought it upon herself!"

Looking at Tomie's bloodstains, Yukino's expression was somewhat displeased and cold as she spoke.

At the same time, she genuinely felt that this girl named Tomie was getting what she deserved. If she drove someone crazy, wouldn't they kill her?

After some thought, Yukino decided not to personally apprehend the poor and crazy man but instead called the police.

These yandere matters should be left to the police!

Yukino thought so.

Only she didn't notice that the bloodstain on the sole of her shoe seemed to be sprouting granulation tissue.
