Chapter 14 - Chapter 15 – A Yandere of Poison

Third-person POV

 Back in Tokyo, by Monday at 8:20 a.m., Rathanak was being aware of his surroundings at Tokyo University grounds. "Um, is it because of that blue-haired girl with red eyes and a dagger that leaks venom?" Lorenzo asked.

 "Yeah, she's crazy for me," Rathanak replied back, "and her courtship ritual was-"

(Ping!)

 A poisoned sniper bullet slipped past Rathanak's ear and struck a hard wall, scaring the life out of a young lecturer nearby. It was Takara Kanei, a daughter of a prestigious clan of assassins and healers. She had blue long hair and red eyes, but she had the Poisoned Weapons ability, which can add a layer of venom when she was looking at her weapons, either be magazines of bullets or blades. She was a yandere to Rathanak since their first week in university.

 "Good morning, my love..." she purred while cycling the bolt of her sniper rifle as an assassin in secret.

Lorenzo bolted to Rathanak's back in fear, and Rathanak nervously laughed. "H-Hi, morning, Takara-chan..."

Takara came down from a balcony and stared at him with the red rings of obsession (not related to the curse) glowing around her red eyes. "Morning, my love. Miss me much?"

Rathanak knows that he wasn't in love with her and was just a friend to her, and that was about it.

He then stammered, "Y-Yes! I was, and…I had classes to tackle!"

He then grabbed Lorenzo's right, and he and Lorenzo then hurriedly went to class, while Takara walked to her Culinary Studies wing as her eyes locked on Rathanak. "See you at lunch, my handsome prince."

Rathanak always concluded that being called a "handsome prince" by his stalker meant by both his character and Khmer heritage.

 At class, both students collapsed on their seats in mental exhaustion, and then, Luigi approached their seats. "Morning, guys…" Upon recognizing his voice, Rathanak and Lorenzo replied, "Grazie, morning…"

 "Did that blue-haired girl with a sniper rifle from culinary class fired an armor-piercing bullet at you guys?" Luigi inquired.

 "Yes…" Rathanak wheezed as he got up, sat down, and pulled out his notebook, Economics textbook, and pen, "…last time."

 "Wow, that's rough man. Takara-san once pierced my shirt with her poisoned dagger and demanded where you guys went yesterday."

 "What? Again?" Lorenzo moaned as he got up and sat down while getting his study materials. "How many shirts she stained with poison again?"

 "1 so far this week, and I don't want more of them ended up being burned in the campus bonfire for my safety."

 "No..." Rathanak moaned, "...the way Takara-chan called me handsome prince made Yuki of "Fruits Basket" smaller than me..."

Because of all that, Rathanak thought of his 6 p.m. "appointment" with the Black Feathers at their headquarters basement today, and he began to formulate a plan to increase Takara's yearning for his attention and tried to pivot her deranged focus away from Luigi's cheap, 100-yen shirts he had to rely on as an overseas student from Palermo, Italy.
