My Arranged Marriage Partner is a Yandere

Chapter 1

I stared at the girl on the other side of the table. She had blue eyes, and long brown hair that flowed over her shoulders. She wore a school uniform from Haru Academy, a prestigious school in Tokyo, as well as a pink beret which kept her hair back. We made eye contact and she turned bright red. She immediately turned her head elsewhere and made small glances at me with her eyes.

She was too cute for words.

"Keiichi, this is Konoe Saechi, his wife Konoe Maria, and their daughter, Konoe Suzuki,"My father said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you,"Mr. Konoe said.

"Likewise,"I replied.

"Keiichi, I heard you are 17?"Mrs. Konoe asked.

"Yes, I'm a second year in highschool."

"Suzuki-chan is the same. Her grades are top of her class. I heard you have pretty good grades as well."

"Well...Besides Math and Physics, My grades are actually pretty average."

"He's being humble, he's fifth in his grade,"Dad said.

"You don't say?"

"It's not that impressive,"I replied awkwardly.

I scratched the back of my head and looked at the ground.

"Keiichi, there's really no need to be so polite. We're family now. You can relax yourself around us,"Mrs. Konoe said.

"Yeah, sorry."

I tried to relax myself without any success. It was no use, I was just too nervous.

"Um...Keiichi..."Suzuki suddenly muttered.

"Huh?"I asked.

In the half hour we'd been here, she hadn't said a single word the whole time. Her voice was as cute as her appearance, and there was a hint of shyness behind it.

"Um...I love you,"She said quietly.

I stared at her trying to comprehend what she just said.

"Excuse me, could you please repeat that? I didn't quite catch it."

"I...I Iove you!"She said just loud enough for me to hear it.

"Um...Thank you, but I think it's still a little too early for that yet. You don't have to force it. You should wait until we get to know each other a little more."

She looked away from me for a second and muttered something incoherent to herself quietly. She looked back at me and her face grew flushed again. She stood up and bowed.

"Suzuki needs to use the restroom. Please excuse her."She said politely.

She left the room quickly.

"Sorry about that...she's a little shy and I'm sure she's quite nervous as well. She's trying her best to make a good appearance in front of you,"Mr Konoe said.

"No, it's fine. I'm pretty nervous myself. I never thought I'd end up engaged to someone so cute,"I said.

"Thank you for that. I can't fail to notice that you're taking this arranged marriage pretty well."

"Well...I have an elder brother who's gone through this before, so I've had time to prepare for it. I'm just glad it's going so well."

"Yes, I heard about Touya, you also have a younger sister, right?"

"Yes, Momo. She's 16."

"I see. So be honest, what do you think of Suzuki?"

"Well, she's super cute. If she really is anything like you say she is, I could see myself falling in love with her."

"Good. A nice honest answer. You will make a good son-in-law."

"Thanks. By the way. Just now, Suzuki referred to herself in third person, does she do that a lot?"

"Yes, as far as I know, she's always referred to herself in that way. Does it bother you?"

"No, it doesn't bother me. I just thought it was kind of unusual."

"Hahaha, don't worry, you'll get used to it."

We continued making small talk. After a few minutes Suzuki reentered the room and returned to her spot in front of the table. I glanced at her while continuing with my conversation.

So this is my future wife huh? I hope we get along.

***Suzuki was worried that Keiichi would be just like the rest of the boys she knew, but he was anything but. Suzuki's always had the ability to see the true nature of everyone she meets, and all her life, Suzuki has never met anyone as pure as him. Mr. Sugurashi told Suzuki many things about him, and now that Suzuki has met him, Suzuki now can see that every word was true. Keiichi is kind, polite, and a great listener. He is the kind of person who would never betray Suzuki. He is the kind that would always protect Suzuki. He is the kind that Suzuki could always be able to trust.

As I sat there watching him speak with father, I fell in love with his every word. Eventually, I could no longer hold it in any longer.

"Um....Keiichi..."

"Huh?"He asked surprised.

He turned towards me and I felt myself grow embarrassed, causing myself to lose my voice.

"Um... I love you!"

I found that I had just whispered the words. It was tough saying them aloud.

"Excuse me, could you please repeat that? I didn't quite catch it,"He said.

As Suzuki thought, she was not loud enough. Suzuki will try once more.

"I...I love you!"

It was only a little louder, but Suzuki thinks it was enough. It is much harder for Suzuki to confess her love than she thought. Suzuki will need to become much braver if she plans on making him hers..

"Um...Thank you, but I think it's still a little too early for that yet. You don't have to force it. You should wait until we get to know each other a little more."

The way he responded to Suzuki was so kind. Any other man would have probably just ignored Suzuki, or made fun of her, but Keiichi-san treats her kindly instead. Suzuki doesn't think she could fall any more in love with him. Suzuki would do anything for him, anything just to be close to him. Suzuki would give him everything Suzuki has to make him happy. Suzuki would gladly give herself over to him. Suzuki would even die for him if he so wished. The gods have blessed Suzuki, blessed her with the greatest person this world, no, this universe has to offer. Suzuki will give her all for Keiichi. Nobody will take him from her. Suzuki loves Keiichi very much, and Suzuki will do anything and everything to be with him.

"Suzuki will never stop loving you, so please love Suzuki too,"I muttered to myself.

I turned to look at his face again and my eyes met with his again. My heart skipped a beat. I felt my face grow beat red, and I felt a strange feeling overcome me. I stood up.

"Suzuki needs to use the bathroom. Please excuse her."

I left the roof and headed into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror to see myself covered in sweat. The feeling I had felt earlier had grown too intense for me to contain it any longer. I locked the door...
