Keita will live another day!

My name is Kimura Keita. I have a girlfriend, Ui Uozomi, who happens to be a yandere. It probably would have been smart if I escaped the country as soon as I learned that, however, I have a bet going on with my friends that I can keep a girlfriend for a year. Therefore, I must survive. My pride depends on it!

Currently, my girlfriend is making a surprise visit to my house. Why has this already become normalized?! It's been a week!

"Keita, what is this?"

Uh oh, she's in the yandere voice... Scared, I looked over at her. In her hand was a strand of hair.

"This hair is too long to be yours, and my hair isn't this dark... Keita, who does this hair belong to?"

Shit, an event has just started! "Here, let me get a closer look."

I approached her, taking a glimpse at the strand of hair. At the same time, I glanced at Ui's pockets. There probably isn't a knife in there, so I'm fine, but... I turned my eyes towards the kitchen. I should have invited her to my room instead, damn it!

"Keita... Have you been... cheating on me?"

Oh no, I wasn't paying attention! "W-what?! Of course I wasn't! Are you sure this isn't mine?"

"Of course I am! The strand is longer than yours, and it smells of some sort of perfume! T-this... This is a girls!"

No, this route leads to death! I quickly began to think over everything I did today. Where could it have come from... Where could it have come from...

"O-oh! I hung out with Masaki today, you can ask him! It's probably his hair!" Yes, that's gotta be it!

"Then, why does it smell like a girl's? And, didn't Masaki dye his hair blonde? And, didn't he shave his head after dyeing it?" Ui approached me, staring intensely into my eyes. "Keita... Did you just lie to me?"

"N-no, I would never!" Shit, how did I forget he was bald now?! "W-wait, there's probably a reasonable explanation to this!"

She grabbed my collar, pulling my face down towards hers. "Then you better tell me it in 5 seconds... or else."

Think, Keita, think! There's gotta be some reason... "M-maybe I bumped into a girl?"

"Even if you did, that wouldn't explain the second strand on your pants." She plucked it off of my legs. 

"Since when was that there?!"

"Keita..."

What did I do today... What did I do... If it isn't Masaki's... W-wait, that's it! "Oh, I know this time! Really!"

She glared at me. "Go on."

"O-okay, you know Masaki has no hair, right. But, who else has hair in his household?"

"...His little sister."

"NO! NOT HER, FORGET ABOUT HER!"

She waited for a minute before responding. "His... cat?"

"Yes! Masaki went to the bathroom, and his cat crawled onto my lap, so I spent a few minutes petting and hugging it, so that's why the hair is on me! It's a cat's!" 

"Then, why does it smell like a girl?"

"Because it's technically his little sister's cat. It sleeps in her room, so that's probably where the smell comes from, okay?!" 

"So why isn't it his little sister's?"

"B-because his little sister wasn't home! Masaki said that she was playing soccer with her school's team, so it couldn't have been hers! You can even look it up, I swear I'm not lying!"

She continued holding me still, but pulled her phone out of her pocket with her other hand. She then typed something in. A wave of relief went over her face, signaling she probably realized I was telling the truth. "C-can you let go of me now?"

She waited a few moments before letting go. "I-I guess that makes sense... S-sorry, Keita."

Phew, back to normal. She reverted back to her shyer self, looking towards the ground. Her face was red, as if embarrassed she overreacted. Wait, that's no simple overreaction!

I took the opportunity to score more points with her. I reached out and petted her on the head. "I would never cheat on you, you know. You're the one who is the cutest to me, Ui."

Even with her head down, I thought I saw her smile a bit. "T-thanks, Keita." I smiled too.

Yet again, I did not die today.
