"Since you don't like Ichiko, but want to have her love, why are you avoiding it? Just possess her directly."
"In her world, there's only you, and in your world, there's only her. With time, you will naturally become each other's only one."
Black's words were logical and well-founded.
They struck directly at Haruko's heart.
Were the things she had been doing all along, her feelings for Ichiko, really liking?
She just yearned for someone like that to love her, but her current feelings for Ichiko were different from how she felt about Mikan, her ex-girlfriend, in her previous life.
"That's not right!"
Haruko suddenly reacted and stared intently at Black.
The latter just gave a faint smile, completely calm.
Haruko gritted her teeth, "You're misleading me. I would never treat Ichiko as a substitute for Mikan. After all, Mikan can't compare to Ichiko at all!"
Two years of memories had long turned into bubbles.
In this past month, the shadow in Haruko's heart had long been occupied by Ichiko.
"No heart flutter?"
"No liking?"
"You're just my inner demon. How do you know I don't like Ichiko!"
"She gently strokes my head;
kindly says she likes me;
holds an umbrella for me so the snowflakes don't fall on me;
holds my hand tightly when we're holding hands;
even asks for more when we kiss;
even though she's so busy every day, she comes over to cook dinner for me because she thinks I can't cook, just afraid I'll be malnourished from eating too much takeout!"
"No one can compare to her!"
"Why wouldn't I like a girl like that!"
Haruko glared at her fiercely, "Just wait, the surprise Ichiko has prepared for me tomorrow will definitely leave you speechless!"
The last sentence was almost shouted out.
She was panting heavily, but when she came back to her senses, she found that there was no elegant figure in a black dress in front of her.
It was as if the inner demon that occasionally tempted her didn't exist at all.
On the sofa, only the usually proud Big King remained, sleeping with its tail curled up.
The empty room seemed to become incredibly deep, dark, and cold.
Haruko opened her dry lips, but nothing came out.
Finally, she silently walked to the side of the sofa, brought her knees together, hugged them with her hands, rested her head on her knees, and quietly waited for time to pass.
"Ichiko... I miss you."
For half a month, she had always played the role of the obedient Haruko, never once using her yandere tendencies to threaten the girl.
And the girl, indeed, was as she wished.
Stroking her head and praising her, speaking sweet nothings.
Like family, eating together every day, depending on each other.
But why?
Why did she still feel so lonely?
A trace of unease, bit by bit, drilled into Haruko's body with the cold air.
In agony, the second hand pushed the minute hand forward, and then struggled to make the hour hand move faster.
Finally, the time arrived at December 25th.
The day Haruko had been looking forward to for a long time.
Early in the morning, Haruko had already changed her clothes and sat obediently on the sofa, waiting.
The sound of the door lock turning finally rang out at 9 o'clock.
As the door opened, a pleasant voice sounded, "Haruko, good morning, I've come to pick you up."
Haruko immediately jumped off the sofa, her eyes lighting up, "Ichiko, you're finally here! Are we going on a date today?"
Ichiko was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Mm, let's go shopping together today!"
