10 to 20%, do you know what that percentage is about?
It's the percentage chance of survival of a person who is the target of an obsessive girl's affection.
Although it's not a real number because all the chances of survival are influenced by the person's psychological factors, but according to my experience after reading a lot of psychological horror novels, I know that even if the number I'm thinking of is true, it's not entirely correct.
Well, it's not that I'm sceptical about my survival, after all even if I'm killed I'll be able to be reborn in the future. As a human who has been reborn as a Pure Spirit, I will not be too concerned about life and death.
It's just that I'm worried about my mental health, on one hand I have anxiety about this but on the other hand there is a feeling of happiness inside me.
Can anyone help me to regain my sanity?!
I think the strange obsession of the man I saw in the dream really affected me more than I thought.
While some strange thoughts appeared in my head.
Right now, the origami that had brought me under the cherry blossom tree where the picnic site she had made forced me to sit quietly, while I looked up at the afternoon sky.
I hope I'm not late for work later, it would be really bad if I'm late on my first day, especially since from the agreement I made with the convenience store manager earlier, I should at least arrive in about thirty minutes.
Honestly, this atmosphere is far from the romantic impression that I often see in films.
You know what? Sitting under the cherry blossom tree isn't as beautiful as one might think, some of the cherry blossoms even occasionally fall into the glass of drink I'm holding.
Damn it was disgusting, I even saw some flowers that seemed to have been covered in bird faeces.
Just as I wanted to protest I saw Origami who was still busy with her basket of cakes, honestly when I saw this girl who looked serious she looked very pretty, especially her white hair that fulfilled some of my preferences towards women.
"Here, eat this," she said as she took one piece of pastry from the basket and thrust it towards me. However, the way she gave it to me was more like a mother feeding a child.
Plus she always had a gentle smile that was the complete opposite of her nature when she fed me.
"Tobiichi-" I tried to call him.
"Origami," she cut in firmly. "I told you, call me Origami. Hiroto you should call me by my first name" Her eyes looked serious as she said that. Not even that it looks a little scary.
I don't know why I want to go home right now and hide behind my mum, but seriously, why is she forcing me to call her like that?
Wait a minute! Isn't my mum not in Japan right now?
Although I had some suspicions about her, I decided to keep them to myself first. Don't think I've never read a novel with a clichéd secret plot like this.
It seems that this girl underestimates my knowledge of novels too much, even I've read many novels that have racism in them.
When Origami finally finished organising her food. She came closer to me, still with the pastries in her hand, and fed me with a small smile. I could only sigh, trying to ignore the sakura leaves that kept falling and sometimes getting stuck in my hair.
Well, to be honest the taste of this cake wasn't too bad, not to mention that it suited my taste, and the feeling of being given a lot of affection from a beautiful girl like origami made me a little happy.
"Origami, I think I should leave soon. I still have a part-time job after this," I said flatly, while glancing at the clock on my mobile phone.
Although I liked my current situation, I still had other work to do.
"I should be back before-" My sentence was cut short when Origami interrupted.
"Sit down, and eat this!" when I was about to stand up, Origami held my hand as if forcing me to sit back down.
When she looked at me seriously I froze, moreover the look in those eyes was very scary, plus the light in her eyes seemed to disappear, only showing a dark blue colour in her eyes.
Somehow I felt as if I was in a scene from a psychological thriller novel, not a romantic drama under a cherry blossom tree.
Origami's cold hand gripped my wrist, firm enough to make me understand that she wasn't messing around. The small smile that was originally visible on her face had now vanished, replaced by a flat expression that made my hair stand on end.
"Origami..." I tried to speak.
However, before I could continue, she pulled me back into a sitting position with a single tug that surprised me. Her strength did not match her slender body.
"Don't reject my good intentions, Hiroto," she said in a tone that was gentle but cold at the same time, I could sense the danger in her tone.
"Hiroto, I have prepared all this for you. You should enjoy it."
When she said that, I looked at her doubtfully, especially since the other side of me kept screaming to run away from this place immediately.
Well, I'm not going to talk about my other side anymore, anyway that person is crazy for being so happy when she saw the origami gaze on me.
"I really have to go..." I said again, this time in a quieter voice. I hoped she would let me go, but Origami only tightened her grip.
"Eat," she said briefly, then shoved another piece of cake into my mouth. Her cold blue eyes stared at me unblinkingly, as if reading every thought in my head.
Reluctantly and with a hint of happiness, I opened my mouth and let him feed me.
After a while, he finally released his grip. I thought this was a chance to leave, but just as I was about to ask her permission to leave, she spoke again.
"You know, Hiroto," she said in a quieter voice, almost a whisper.
"I don't like being abandoned."
"Abandonment? What do you mean...Origami?" I asked her with some confusion.
"I want you to always be here, with me, because when I like someone, I want them by my side. No matter what."
When I heard what she said, my brain seemed to stop working, not because of the fear from the domineering look she showed, but from her other statements.
Is this a confession?! Has my spring finally arrived?
Although it seemed that spring would be filled with clouds, but who cared as long as it was spring.
"Therefore...I beg you...be mine, just mine this time, you don't need all of them, just me is enough...I...I will make sure that doesn't happen this time"
As origami said that, she held my hand tightly, lowering her head as if saying pleadingly.
This is the first time I've seen origami looking so pitiful, somehow a pain arises in my heart, it's not a feeling of pity when seeing others hurt, but it's more like a feeling of sadness when seeing someone close to me like this.
The same feeling I had when I had the dream this morning was clearly imprinted back into my soul.
But aside from that, there was one thing that caught my attention more.
A small amount of spirit energy particles were clearly visible on his hand, this was definitely not something that a Spirit in this world should have, after all rather than a pure Spirit like me, Spirits in this world rely more on artefacts or what they often call angels.
So this kind of energy manipulation was impossible.
And one thing that was more important than all this was the fact that I could feel a strong pulling energy as if gravity was trying to pull me to the ground, something that was very familiar to me.
Wasn't this my Spirit energy?
Although it only lasted for a moment, but I was clearly convinced that it was mine.
"Origami"
.....
[Origami point of view]
Don't go...
Please...
This time... just this time... I just want to be the only one in your life...
I know it's selfish, but I don't care, even if I have to betray that girl's trust...kurumi....
This time I'll just be the one who always stands by your side...
I won't let you suffer, I don't care about anything anymore, I don't care about my grudge, all I want is to keep standing by your side.
Laughing with you, I want to see your smile again, but not this time with all the blood on your face.
I won't let you die, no matter what.
It's been two days since I regained my memories of the future, no, calling it as regaining memories is not accurate.
Because this is me from the future, although I should thank Kurumi for successfully sending my consciousness to the past. But that doesn't mean I'm going to split Hiroto.
Hiroto didn't need all those girls anymore.
When I first opened my eyes and found myself back four years ago, the first thought that crossed my mind was Hiroto's existence.
If I recall, the current Hiroto should still be pretending to be human, right?
If so at least I can still approach him as the first, and this time I won't let Hiroto take the same path as before.
"Hiroto..." I murmured softly, saying his name as if it was a mantra that could ease the pain that continued to burn inside my chest.
I got up from my bed and quickly took out my mobile phone. Hiroto's number is still the same, right? I tried pressing the call button with a slightly trembling hand.
But when I was about to call him a thought crossed my head, aren't we currently just ordinary classmates who are not familiar with each other?
It would be very strange if I called her at this time especially since I never asked for his current phone number.
Even back then, it was Hiroto Lah who took the initiative to enter his number into my mobile phone.
I tried to calm myself down, right now I should be able to return to school first and then meet him as if it was a coincidence, after all I had already requested a month's leave due to the current mission in the AST unit.
When I thought of that, I quickly got up and returned to school, honestly this was a moment that made my heart pound.
I sat in my seat with occasional glances towards Hiroto but he still looked as usual.
Ah~ that ordinary and even average face makes my heart skip a beat, what should I do?
Although Hiroto's appearance in Spirit mode is much more handsome, but I still like his usual human look.
I panicked, I wanted to rush to him and hug him tightly while shouting that I loved him.
I wanted to claim her as my own.
But when I looked back at him from my seat, I saw that Hiroto was talking to another girl besides me, I know that girl, if I'm not mistaken her name is Ai Yamabuki right?
Damn! If I remember correctly, this girl was even as dangerous as Kurumi in the future, she was even always trying to find ways to monopolise Hiroto.
Should I kill her?
All these bad thoughts ran through my head when the first hour bell for today's class rang.
Time passes, right now I'm trying to find where Hiroto went, unluckily I've lost track of him, I've been looking for his trail for quite a while and I've now lost him.
For some reason I feel like pulling my own hair out in frustration over my own carelessness.
No! Don't do that! Hiroto said he likes my hair so Hiroto will be sad if I ruin my hair.
Right now I was quite frustrated, so I squatted between two trees, staring at the little ants there boredly.
But when I was about to leave, I smelled a familiar odour. Isn't this Hiroto's smell?!
I quickly turned around when I saw that he was about to walk past me.
But when I saw his face again, memories of his death flashed through my mind, so I unconsciously gave him a warning.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw hiroto's confused face.
The next day when I went back to try to find hiroto after school was over, I saw something that pierced my heart very cruelly.
Hiroto...he..he was alone with another girl without my permission?!!!
No way! This can't be happening! Only I can be with him! Only I can receive his attention!!!
I walked quickly, unconsciously using the Spirit formation that Hiroto taught me back then.
I quickly appeared between the two and after much struggle I was able to save Hiroto from the female fox.
As I carried Hiroto away by holding his hand, an overwhelming feeling of happiness overflowed in my heart.
I think I'm going to die happy because of this, somehow even though we used to date by holding hands but it didn't give me this happy feeling.
Is this what people call true love?
Ah~ Love is beautiful.
At this time I took Hiroto to the picnic spot that I had prepared earlier, after all I wanted to spend more time with Hiroto.
Asking hiroto to sit quietly I quickly took out all the food I had cooked beforehand, I even made many of hiroto's favourite foods beforehand.
When I was done with the preparations I lovingly fed hiroto.
Can I keep hiroto locked up in my room? I want to always take care of him alone.
It was going well but when Hiroto started trying to leave I tried to stop him, I even tried to restrain him with the Spirit Formation but unfortunately it didn't stop Hiroto from returning.
Hiroto...
Don't go....
Please...
As I watched his back as he walked away, I thought I should get the giant birdcage I ordered right away.
