Since my first day of csses in this world, ohing has remained stant—Azami Yuki-Female version- always follows me wherever I go.
At first, I didn’t mind it too much. After all, she did say she wao keep an eye on me because somehow since I arrived, murder cases involving Witches had increased. But I didn’t expect her surveilo be this tight!
How tight?
She even follows me to the bathroom.
The first time it happened…*
I walked casually toward the men’s restroom. The day had been quite exhausting, and I wao freshen up a bit. However, as I was about to enter, Azami also stepped in.
I stopped in my tracks, turning to her with a raised eyebrow.
“…You know this is the men’s restroht?”
Azami nodded with a ft expression. “Of course.”
“…Then why are you ing in?”
“For security.”
I stared at her in disbelief. “What kind of security are you talking about?! I’m just going to pee!”
Azami remained calm. “Are you sure? What if there’s a Witch waiting to attack you inside?”
I snorted. “You think a Witch would bother waiting for me ihroom?”
Azami crossed her arms. “Then there’s no harm ianding guard, is there?”
I waue, but I saw a hint of hesitation in her eyes. So she’s irely fortable with this either, huh?!
“…You wait outside, you know.”
Azami looked slightly uneasy, but then she huffed and turned away. “Fine. But if you get killed in there, don’t bme me.”
I sighed in relief a in. But this wasn’t the st time.
A few days ter…
I tried to ehe men’s locker room at the campus gym. Azami followed me in.
I went to the library to read. Azami sat at the table across from me, watg my every move.
I even tried sneaking up to the rooftop to enjoy some fresh air alone. Five mier, Azami appeared beside me like a ghost.
I rubbed my fa frustration.
“Azami… you don’t have to follow me everywhere, you know.”
She just looked at me ftly. “For security.”
I was starting to feel like for security was just a hollow excuse. I’m sure she just doesn’t want to lose trol of the situation.
But the peak of chaos came a week ter.
Campus cafeteria…
I was sitting at a table enjoying my lunch. Azami sat across from me, watg with her usual sharp gaze.
As I was about to take a bite of my food, audent suddenly approached us with a curious expression.
“Hey, you two…”
Azami and I tur the same time.
The student—a short-haired guy with a curious face—looked at us alternately before finally asking, “Are you two dating?”
I almost choked on my food.
“COUGH!
WHAT?!”
Azami also looked momentarily surprised before returning to her usual ft expression.
The student chuckled. “Well, you’re always together everywhere. There’s even a rumor that you two are never apart on campus.”
I stared bnkly. “That’s… not for that kind of reason…”
The student looked at me skeptically. “Oh? So you’re saying a beautiful girl always follows you everywhere, even to pces that should be private, and it’s not because you’re dating?”
I couldn’t say anything. Damn, it does sound weird when you put it that way.
I turo Azami, hoping she could expin. But her expression…
Her face was slightly red.
“Azami…?”
She cleared her throat softly, then replied in a ft tone. “I’m just making sure he doesn’t do anything stupid.”
The student ughed. “Well, if you two don’t want to admit it, that’s fine. But the rumors are already spreading, you know?”
“…Rumors?” I asked with a bad feeling.
The student pulled out his phone and showed us a post on the campus forum.
「Mysterious Couple on Campus!
Anyone who’s seen them around knows: Azami Yuki and… Azami Yuki(?!).
They’re always together, everywhere. Some even say they’ve goo the same bathroom!
Are they really a couple? Or is there a mysterious reason behind all this?! 」
I stared at the phone s with a bnk expression.
Azami just sighed aed her head on her hand. “This is troublesome.”
I wao scream. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
