Chapter 148: Unexpected

I’m in the car with Arthur and the atmosphere is strange. After finishing work, he came to pick me up and we both got in the car, but he just started driving in silence.

"..."

"Master, is there a problem?" I ask with doubt. This silence is not so normal, although he usually stays silent, this time it seems colder.

"Yes, I have a problem, but we can talk at home," he says coldly, and with that I already know that everything went wrong. It’s never good when a Yandere says that kind of thing to me.

"Master, we can talk here," I say to him calmly. Getting scared or nervous will only make the situation worse.

"No, I prefer to talk at home," he says as I put my hand on the car door handle.

"Master, the car is going 87 kilometers per hour. If I jump out of here now, I’ll probably die," I say, turning the door handle and leaving it ready to be opened.

"If you try to slow down the car, I’ll jump," I say before he starts trying to reduce the speed. I won’t let this conversation go in a direction I can’t control.

"Okay, you won this one..." Arthur says, keeping the speed. The road is empty, so there’s no danger.

"Why were you planning to run away? And worse yet, how dare you try to be with another man?" He asks without anger, but with a chilling coldness.

"How did you know?" I ask, knowing it can’t be the collar, since the records of my collar are things I’ve seen many times in the company papers and it’s normal without modifications.

"The owner of that dog sent me a video before I went to pick you up," Arthur says, and with that I realize he didn’t find out because of my fault, it was because of Lykaon.

’I can still turn this to my advantage.’

"Master, I know you’re upset... but can’t you let this one slide?" I ask, knowing it will be a no.

"Why should I?"

’I should think carefully about the answer...’

"I... want to have children," I say the most absurd answer of all, because I know that a normal answer usually wouldn’t work. Any common excuse would lead me to my death, but if I use the semi-human instincts, I can come up with a good excuse.

"Children?" He questions, a bit incredulous.

"Yes, I want to have children, but... Master, you’re not a semi-human and have always been careful about that, so I thought you didn’t want it, so I ended up losing control and going after another man," I say with ’remorse’ in the best way I can.

If he saw a video of what Lykaon and I talked about, it means this lie now makes sense, because I told Lykaon that I would be his as part of the deal.

"So you’re saying you did all this just because you wanted to get pregnant?" Arthur questions with a tone change that I can’t distinguish.

"That’s right, Master... I’m sorry I broke your trust... I can’t control my instincts," This idea has several bad points, but maybe it will guarantee my survival.

’I was careful about cameras recording me, but I never imagined I’d have to be careful about Lykaon being recorded.’ This was a direct blow that fate dealt me.

"What will you do to make up for this failure?" Arthur speaks as I stop holding the car door and he slows down.

"Anything you want, Master..." The biggest flaw in this plan is that if I survive, he’ll try to get me pregnant, although he’ll only succeed when it’s my fertile time, which will give me some time.

"Shizune, then if that’s what you want, I think I can get that for you, but it seems I’ve been too liberal with the rules. I’ll have to put you in your place."

"... I understand, Master... I’ll do whatever you want..." At least not everything went completely wrong. Lykaon has already been incited by me, and now we will probably be separated.

With this, there is a chance that Lykaon will turn into a Yandere and come after me, similar to what happened with Yesheon, except that Arthur is more terrifying than Lykaon in my view.

’He’s so calm...’ Calm Yanderes seem worse to me than aggressive Yanderes. After all, all the Yanderes I’ve encountered who were this calm were the most bizarre in their way of acting.

Like in the case of Himari, Flora, and Ryuuji, where both were calm and cold in their own way, but turned out to be complete lunatics.

"Master, Lykaon... what will happen to him?" I ask curiously.

"..."

"I don’t know, it depends on his owner who will decide what to do, but as for me, he should castrate that flea-ridden animal and then keep him on a more rigid leash," Arthur says as he stops at the red light.

’I thought he would say that Lykaon should die...’

"But Shizune... why did you say that I meant nothing to you?" When Arthur asks this, I freeze.

’Oh, shit... I said that...’

"Well... it’s just that... the Master seems to see me more as a pet than as a woman... and well, you’ve always avoided getting too intimate with me..." I speak slowly, thinking about what to say.

"..."

The silence that follows is unpleasant. It seems that the more I talk, the worse it gets, so I decide to just stay quiet.

"You talk about me treating you too much like a pet, and from what I understand, you acted that way because I don’t treat you the way I would treat a human," he begins to speak.

"But... even saying that, you act exactly like an animal would, breaking things because you let your instincts speak louder, having to do things in a more simplified and summarized way so that you don’t get distracted."

"And finally, trying to run away with another man just because, like an animal in heat, you want a child... tell me, why do you think I don’t treat you like a human?"

"Do you really think you deserve to be treated like a human when you act exactly like an animal?" He says this so coldly and with such a strange tone that it makes it seem like I’m the only one who’s wrong.

"W-Well..." And the worst part is that there’s no denying it. Breaking things, sleeping anywhere in the house, getting distracted by anything that comes into my field of vision and has a lot of movement.

All these are things that are extremely common in my memory. It’s literally the behavior of a cat.

In addition, the act of trying to find someone to have a child in the way I left implied is literally how an animal would do it.

"Don’t you have anything to tell me? The way you said it was as if the fault was mine for you trying to run away with another man, but the fault is entirely yours," he says, blaming me.

"I treat you the same way you act. You act exactly like an animal, so I do my best to treat you in the way you feel comfortable."

"..."

’Tsk...’ Now I really feel bad, because he’s absolutely right. The Shizune of this world has always liked having all the freedom to let her instincts act out. She was never forced to act like a human.

Something that many humans do with semi-humans, forcing semi-humans to act as if they were human, having to hide who they truly are just to be accepted by society.

"S-Sorry, Master... you’re right..." He’s right about everything. In a way, he’s always "loved" me. He’s always given me freedom and care in his own way, from what I can see in my memories.

With this, I remember Yeom’s advice again don’t do anything. I didn’t act well by following this advice and tried to do things, so I guess it’s not too late to follow this advice.

"Apologies are just empty words. Prove it with actions. Without apologies, you made a mistake and should do something to make amends, don’t you think?" He speaks seriously to me as we arrive home.

"Y-You’re right, Master. I should pay for my mistake with actions... I’ll do whatever you want," I say to him as I get out of the car.

"Great, we’ll see then."

’...’ I see him storing a gun in the glove compartment, and that gives me chills. He really was going to kill me, and I narrowly escaped. I can only sigh with relief.

My life almost ended, and only because I didn’t pay enough attention to the details around me. As Yeom said, fate will always act regardless of what I do or don’t do.

If I try to do things, fate will use those things to kill me, but if I don’t try anything, it will still find a way to kill me, though it will have more difficulty.

"Let’s go," Arthur says as I silently follow him. As soon as we enter the living room, he grabs my waist.

"I’m going to fuck you every day from now on. I’ll make sure you get pregnant for sure," he says, caressing my abdomen above my belly.

’...’

"O-Of course, Master..." I don’t really know what to make of this. Having a child would be strange, but it’s not like I wasn’t aware that I could have one. Still, I never thought I’d actively participate in it or be the one responsible for the idea.

This just makes me think how crazy Sayuri is. This punishment is such a ridiculous thing.

"Let’s go to the bedroom," he says, guiding me to the bedroom, but his grip is possessive and even a little painful. It’s obvious he’s full of rage, and his rage won’t pass so soon.

’I should endure the pain if he’s rough with me...’ I will trust Yeom, I won’t do anything extra. I’ll just go with the flow and see how far we go.
