Author's notes: Well here it is, the next chapter! It's rather odd that I'm late with these chapters now since my beta reader is back but now I'm just plain busy all the time. Before I would have the chapters but my beta reader wouldn't get back to me until days later. I'll go ahead and confirm, "Kuroda Masaki" mentioned I was his cousin in his own fic and yes this is true, no bs. He has also been my beta reader since my MinTaka fic actually and just recently made his account here. Welcome to the site! Now then...onwards!

Otaku and the Dumb Character
Chapter 10 Winter Festival Part 2
Time continued to pass over the next few days as Ryōō High School was in full swing of its preparation of the winter festival. Being open to the public had caused plenty of excitement amongst the students as many knew that this included potential future students as well. Props were being made, clubs formulating their own plans, and the festive feeling was definitely in the air especially with the end of the year approaching as well. Class 3B was also heavily working on perfecting their "maid" café as the majority (boys) decided. A certain purple haired airhead was demonstrating how to make certain snacks.
"Hey hey, whoever thought Hiiragi-san was so skilled in cooking!"
"Yes, she could be a chef I bet if she really tried."
While Tsukasa was kneading dough, she couldn't help but feel somewhat proud that for once she could do something that would stand out. However even more so, as the eyes of a pink haired glasses-wearing girl were on her, had resulted in a blush for the airhead. Konata watched with fascination.
"Hehe, Kagamin may be skilled in studying and all that jazz, but Tsukasa definitely got all of the household skills. Ugh, can't believe Kagamin managed to blow up rice, I didn't even know that was possible," the otaku said shaking her head.
Konata turned to face the group behind her with a smirk.
"Ok people! We shall now begin lesson one!"
Konata twirled in the maid outfit she had changed into and this time, it wasn't simply over her uniform. A couple of girls gawked at her when they could see she had gone all out with only wearing the maid uniform this time and it was very much noticeable.
"I-Izumi-san! Y-Y-You can't expect us to wear only the maid outfits," one girl said stuttering red-faced.
Konata grinned darkly at the girl.
"Ufufu, of course I expect that, even if this is practice for 'how to be a legit maid', we can't possibly feel the true aura of a maid unless we go all the way!"
A couple girls stepped back.
"N-No! I refuse this!"
Konata however took a step forward picking up one of the outfits off a desk.
"Mwuhaha, do you think you can escape? Do you really think I asked the boys to leave for our privacy? Try and go through the door and see if it opens," Konata said with her ever so evil smirk.
One of the girls looked at her in horror as if the realization had dawned on her. She spun around and tried to pull the sliding door open only to find that it didn't budge an inch.
"W-W-WHAT! ?"
On the other side of the door, was a mix of heavy breathing and rather excited male students and a few were holding the door in place rather tightly.
~Step Back 30 Minutes~
"Ok boys, today I want us girls to practice maid etiquette and I will need your help," Konata said to the rather large group of male students.
"Izumi-san, what do you need us to do," one boy asked curiously.
"Well for starters, I will need you guys outside the room to-,"
"What! ?
That's not fair!"
"Yea, we want to see this after all ya know!"
Konata raised her hand up for silence.
"L-i-k-e I was saying, I need you guys outside to hold the door shut," Konata said grinning.
The boys looked at her questioningly.
"I want all the girls to be fully dressed up as maids and not in our school uniforms underneath. A few will definitely try and escape so you boys will be the ones to stop that. After all is done, you guys can come in and look all you want," Konata said finishing her plan.
All of the boys' eyes sparkled with excitement.
"YOU CAN COUNT ON US IZUMI-SAN!"
~Present Time~
Whew, it's a good thing I didn't try and get Kuroi-sensei killed after all in the dungeon. A few bribes using my rare items and I had her eating out of my hand.
"Izumi, you guys have a limited time to practice so at least be dressed in either your outfits or school uniforms when I get back."
Konata walked up to the girl who had just tried to open the door.
"Come now…Don't try and escape, I'll be gentle," Konata said evilly as she brought the uniform closer.
The girl glanced around frantically to see her comrades had retreated to the back of the room to leave her as the first sacrifice. The others watching Tsukasa demonstrate were pretending to not notice the scene as well.
"Guess we are doing this hard way," Konata said before finally pouncing on the girl.
The male students on the other side of the door could only listen and imagine as they heard the girl's strangled yelps.
"N-Noo…Not there-ahhhh….W-Where are you touching?"
"Oho, not bad not bad, Miyuki-san might be leading but you're growing a bit also"
"Noooooo, don't just rip the shirt off! Y-You ripped the buttons-,"
"Stop squirming already…"
"M-M-My skirt! You per-pervert.."
"Ohhh, rather risqué panties you're wearing"
"D-Don't you say that with the boys on the other side of the door!"
Steam was practically billowing out of half the guys' noses and a few had already collapsed from nosebleeds as the audio stimulation proved too much.
Kaaaa, I want to open the door! B-But I won't! For the sake of our maids, we shall prevail! Was the simultaneous thought of all the boys.
Konata straightened up admiring her handy work.
"There ya go, that wasn't so bad, and you look like a classic maid now!" Konata exclaimed giving the exhausted yet terrified girl a thumbs up.
"Y-Y-You're…..a…demon," she said panting.
Konata turned to the rest of the girls.
"Well who wants to be next then," Konata said smiling happily.
However while she may have been smiling, all the girls learned that it was definitely the devil smiling at them though a mask. Needless to say, the remaining girls were very compliant not wanting to experience the initial girl's humiliation.
"Ah, they are so much more cooperative now eh Miyuki-san," Konata said wiping some sweat from her brow after such hard work.
Miyuki just sweat-dropped though.
Izumi-san, rather their wills have been broken and also traumatized is what I am sensing.
Konata fist-pumped before addressing the now-maids in front of her.
"We can now begin practice!"
"Wow Hiiragi-san! Those shrine maiden outfits are so cute!"
Misao turned her head to see Kagami had walked in with a box while one outfit was sitting on top of it. The girls were looking at the box with excitement. Kagami just shook her head.
"Please don't get so excited over shrine maiden attire," Kagami said grimacing as she imagined a certain otaku calling it cosplay.
After setting down the box, she began pulling out materials from her bag necessary to make proper tea.
"Oi Hiragi, whatcha doing," asked the brunette.
"Well the theme is a tea-serving shrine maiden, can't really have that without the tea now can we Kusakabe," Kagami said shortly.
Missing the obvious insult, Misao just nodded.
"Oh I see then."
Misao looked at the packaged tea leaves curiously. Not noticing Misao's curious stare, Kagami turned to talk to the rest of the girls who were excitedly trying on the outfits. It wasn't long until the class had transformed into what had been high school students to what now appeared to be a gathering of shrine maidens.
"Now I know you all wanted me to teach you how the tea ceremony goes but since it's the class theme, I'll be showing you a simplified version of it," Kagami said glancing around.
She noticed that their teacher was nowhere to be seen.
"Umm, where's Sakuraba-sensei," Kagami asked raising an eyebrow.
"Ahh Sensei..."
"Well, this is a student thing so I won't be helping ya too much. I'll be in the nurse's office if anyone needs me, see ya."
"…and that's what Sensei said," the girl finished.
Kagami almost stumbled listening to the story.
Well guess I'm not surprised.
Kagami was jolted back to her senses by a choking sound from behind her.
"Blah! Ugh…Hiiragi-," Misao said coughing up something.
"Kusakabe, wha-," but she was cut off as Misao sprayed bits of chewed up tea leaves on her face.
"Ahh, that's better. Tea leaves...Yea you definitely shouldn't just eat them as they are, hahaha," Misao said laughing happily not noticing she had just sprayed the leaves on her friend's face.
Kagami stood still feeling the recently chewed leaves slide down her face with sickening slowness. She spoke to Misao in her deadliest voice who still didn't seem to notice.
"Misao Kusakabe…"
Misao looked up to see Kagami with bits of black muck on her face.
"Ehh Hiiragi, what's that stuff on your face," she said curiously.
"YoU anD ThAT perveRtED MidgeT mUSt BE MasOChIsts," Kagami whispered with a deadly smile.
Misao stepped back out of instinct.
"W-What's up Hiiragi…Y-Y-You sound w-well a bit c-c-crazy," Misao said feeling her hairs stand on end at the sound of the older twin's voice.
Misao turned to Ayano who looked to be in a daze.
"H-Hey Aya-chan, calm down Hiiragi, please," Misao asked imploringly.
Ayano broke out of her daze and just put her hands together as if saying, "Sorry Misa-chan, I cannot help you on this one."
Misao's jaw dropped.
"Oi, Kuuuusaaakaaabeee-chan," came a voice that was anything but kind.
Misao turned her head.
"Wait Hiiragi, I know you must be mad but it's n-"
Class 3B was in full practice mode but jumped slightly as they heard a high-pitched scream though out the school. In the nurse's office, a few teachers perked up as well.
"Oi, did you hear that Sakuraba-sensei?"
"Ahh, it sounded like Kusakabe-san in my class, if it's her then we don't need to worry Kuroi-sensei."
"Honestly, Sakuraba-sensei, you should take better care of your class now."
"Ehhh but Fuyuki, it's so much more relaxing in here anyways."
Kagami, along with a blonde and a brunette girl (or rather what seemed more like an empty shell), were making their way to class 3B as usual since lunch time had finally arrived. Misao was currently repeating the phrase in her head.
Tea leaves Tea leaves Tea leaves Tea leaves.
However, the sight on the other side of the door would most certainly restore life to the poor brunette. Kagami slid the door open only to be greeted by a group of girls dressed fully in maid outfits with Konata at the lead.
"Okaerinasaimase goshujinsama," the group of maids chorused together.
Kagami jumped back in horror while Misao, had eyes only for Konata, was clutching her hand over her nose feeling a hot red liquid flow freely down her front.
"Ahhh those outfits are so cute," exclaimed Ayano.
She walked in like it was normal and looked around happily at the scene before her. It was obvious the class had been busy as many finished props were laid around and tables waiting to be set up were folded up in various corners. As the girls walked inside Kagami was also met by a sight that would certainly shock her.
"ONEE-CHAN!" A frantic airhead ran into the twin-tailed girl.
"Oi Tsukasa wh-," Kagami started to say until she caught sight of what her little sister was wearing.
It was indeed a maid outfit but that wasn't what was shocking her. It was clearly a maid outfit that was too small for the girl. It was especially tight on her chest and was even more dangerously high than usual around the skirt area.
What the! ? If she as so much as bends over in the slightest… "KONATA!"
Konata jumped as she heard the angry roar of a tsundere.
"Y-You, what did you do to my sister's outfit," Kagami said red-faced grabbing the bluenette by the collar.
"Waaah, Kagamin, relax! That was the only one left ya know. When we were giving out the outfits, she wasn't listening or something and got the last one," Konata said trying to free herself.
Gee I wonder why it was the last one…
"Miyuki, what do you thi-," but Kagami was speechless yet again.
Miyuki's outfit was a different story.
"M-Miyuki! Don't tell me you couldn't just get a bigger size! ?"
Miyuki looked to be very troubled and was trying to cover herself up but to no avail.
"B-B-But, this was the b-biggest s-size," Miyuki said blushing a deep red.
"That's the biggest! ?" Kagami said her jaw dropping.
The outfit was similar to how Tsukasa's looked except that the chest area was especially conspicuous and anyone seeing this would have no doubt that Miyuki did indeed have the largest bust size hands down. Meanwhile the boys were all seated but had a look of pure content on their faces.
"Ahh, so this is what it feels like to be in heaven."
"I don't think I want to go home ever."
"Hey Shiraishi-san, what's up? You look troubled. Enjoy the show man."
Minoru only looked at the girls then at the boys before looking away in a panic.
"She's definitely going to kill me for getting more screen time again..."
Misao was staring at Konata. She shook her head though.
S-So cute… but I'm not ogling her!
Misao's eyes continued to trail up and down hungrily at the image at the bluenette in front of her. It was obvious that Konata wasn't wearing her school uniform under it this time. While Konata may not have much chest to show off, the absence of her uniform had made the outfit somewhat loose and Misao could easily get a view down Konata's maid outfit.
Definitely not ogling her right…
There was no prevailing skirt under the maid skirt this time either. A simple breeze could have flipped it up giving Misao full view of the secrets underneath.
Definitely not ogling her right…
Konata's slender legs taunted her further as she trailed her view from down to up seeing the tightness it had around her hips.
Definitely not ogling her right…
The back of the uniform was somewhat cut down a bit giving a view of her bare back as if teasing her, daring her to look more.
Definitely not ogling her right…
However, Konata's back shouldn't be that bare…
S-S-She isn't wearing a bra! ?
The sound of Konata's taunting voice brought Misao back to reality like a brick being dropped from a three story building.
"Misa-Kichiii, staring at me with such lecherous eyes," Konata said feigning embarrassment.
Big mistake.
In the blink of an eye, Misao pulled Konata out of the classroom and pushed her into the nearest closet closing the door behind them. Konata couldn't see Misao's eyes as they were covered by her hair.
"Hey, Misao wh-mpphhhh," Konata's voice was swallowed by a hungry mouth.
Misao pulled Konata in kissing her and slipping her tongue in to caress the inside of the bluenette's mouth. Misao was losing herself very fast in her heightened senses. Still kissing the small girl in her arms, she moved her hand to caress the bluenette's somewhat exposed bottom gripping it in the process.
"Misao wai-aahhh…" Misao was trailing kiss after kiss down her neck and was now using her tongue instead to trail her neck.
Konata herself was getting aroused more with each passing second as the brunette was showing more and more dominance. They broke apart briefly, while Konata feeling weakened, had fallen against a shelf putting all her weight onto it panting and completely red-faced. This new sight was only pushing the brunette further. Konata was half laid against the shelf, her eyes lidded and sweating from panting heavily.
"M-M-Misao…" Konata said in a voice barely even considered a whisper.
Misao couldn't take it anymore and pushed herself more onto the bluenette kissing the girl again. Konata however had lost all her will to resist and gave in to the brunette's advances. Misao kissed her deeply while she just wrapped her arms around Misao's back and wrapped her legs around the brunette's hips. Misao not really minding at all, put her hands under the thighs of the bluenette holding her weight pressed against the shelf. Misao gently bit down on her neck, not enough to draw blood but it would definitely leave a mark.
"Ahhh M-Misao, there will be a mark…."
Losing herself in her lust, Misao could only want more. She wanted more of the stunning girl in front of her so badly. She began moving her free hand underneath the outfit towards Konata's chest area while using her other hand and body to support Konata's weight. Konata let out a gasp that was quickly swallowed again by the addicting mouth of Misao Kusakabe as she realized where all this was leading but she welcomed it as she too was feeling her lust taking over.
"Hey did you hear about class 3B? They are doing a maid café, can you believe it!"
"That's so awesome!"
The voices of a few male students just outside their closet door completely dispelled the lust that was overwhelming both Misao and Konata. Misao's eyes widened in utter shock as she began thinking logically once more and not running on primal instinct. She let go of Konata quickly and backed away in horror.
W-What did I almost do! ?
Misao got down on her knees gripping her stomach in terror.
I just forced myself on her!
"I-I'm so sorry Kona-," Konata cut her off with a warm embrace.
"Hey I didn't stop you Misao," Konata said cheerfully.
Misao looked up through eyes that threatened to drop a few tears.
"Hey! Do you really think I didn't like it, Misa-Kichi," Konata said kissing her face trying to remove the wetness of the tears.
Misao who couldn't help but worry that even Konata wouldn't like being forced upon listened with hope. Konata pulled her head into her chest wrapping her arms around Misao's head.
"Ehehe, if you haven't figured it out yet, Misa-Kichi you big idiot, every time you took the lead in our relationship, I loved it."
Misao looked at her in shock feeling a wave of relief hit her.
S-She loved it?
Konata smirked seeing Misao relax in her arms.
"Ufufu to tell you the truth Misa-Kichi, I can tell there is something inside of you wanting out, you naughty girl. I saw it that night when you slept over after that whole deal with Kagami. You pushed me over ya know and took the lead that time also," Konata said grinning at the brunette's increasing blush.
Misao could only stare at the girl as she spoke.
Ever since that night…every time I see her, I get this burning sensation in my chest and between my legs…
"I think I saw a little bit of 'it' that night, and just now…more managed to get out eh Misa-Kichi," Konata said mischievously.
Looking around, Misao finally stood up feeling happy and refreshed again knowing that Konata didn't mind her actions. Looking out the door to make sure no one was around, Misao opened the door as Konata walked through.
"Haha, Kagamin is probably wondering where we've been this whole time," Konata said out loud laughing.
Misao just blushed at the thought.
She probably knows a little bit of why we disappeared off I bet also.
As they walked back towards the class, Konata stopped abruptly.
"Misa-Kichi, next time…you don't have to stop," Konata said seductively while licking her finger.
Misao stared at her and for just a split second, Misao felt that familiar overwhelming monstrous urge to overtake the bluenette in front of her. Misao shook her head though.
Ugh, what's with these recent urges! We are in school jeez.
~X~X~X~X~X~X~
Misao, Kagami, and Ayano were making their way back to their class.
"Oi Kusakabe, where were you two that whole time," Kagami asked curiously.
"Um...N-Nowhere, we just stepped out…a bit," Misao choked out.
I'd rather not tell Hiiragi or anyone actually about what I almost did to Shorty in that closet.
Kagami just looked at her confused at the reaction she was getting out of the brunette.
"Kagami-san, Izumi-chan and Misa-chan are dating…and well… they went alone, I mean even if it was a boy and girl… you know," Ayano said but for once even she was having trouble getting the point across.
Kagami listened and a light blush made its way across her face.
Ugh, I just had to ask…However another scene came floating to the surface of her mind.
It was of her and a certain violet-eyed kouhai that lately wouldn't get out of her head.
"S-Senpai-mphh…" Kagami trailed her lips with her fingers and began to wonder what it would be like to kiss the glasses-wearing gir-what the hell am I thinking about!
She re-imagined the scene in her head. "
Kagami-senpai…" WHAT IS THIS! ?
Kagami's whole face flushed red and she was sure that steam would be rising out of her ears very soon. Ayano and Misao only assumed that she probably caught onto the point they were trying to make about Misao and Konata. Unknown to them, they were far off the mark by a lot including which two people it involved…
Night had fallen. It had been a busy day but then again, who wouldn't be busy when they are approaching the final days of their years as middle school kids. Soon she would be in high school and inspiration would probably be around at every corner.
"Ryōō High School huh," Hiyori said out loud.
She was pacing up and down her room trying to think of a good plot. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to come to mind right away and she cursed herself for it. She sat down in a chair to look at her sketchbook only to see the sketch she had roughly done of Hiiragi-senpai. She stared at the picture remembering the day as it had been…
~X~X~X~X~X~X~
I had been out of ideas and decided to take the advice from my circle, and it was to just go out and hunt for inspiration.
"I had high hopes though!"
"Definitely will find some good stuff and people to spy…I mean observe, yea observe. I wouldn't do anything as indecent as spying, but it's perfectly ok to just 'observe'."
Then the rain started falling out of nowhere.
"God it just had to rain, but I will prevail! This must be god's trial, no doubt if I stick it out, I will get something awesome!"
However the rain was still annoying, it would be impossible to draw anything if I didn't just happen to have my umbrella with me.
"Oho, that looks like an interesting couple. Let's see…Tch! Man and women, sure might be all nice to them but I need something a bit more…eye-catching haha!"
I had considered giving up at that point…until…
"I KNOW THAT! I KNOW THAT! BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW!"
"What the heck! ?"
Someone had just screamed out which almost scared me half to death to be honest. I made my way behind some bushes to get a good look at who was screaming but so they couldn't see me.
"It would probably be rude of me to interrupt whoever that is, I'm sure she won't mind if I just…hide out…without her knowing…"
What I didn't expect to see was a girl that was absolutely for lack of a better word 'perfect'. She had purple hair styled up in twin-tails. "She has a classic tsundere look…"
She was sitting on a swing with her neck arched up to the sky. She was pretty much soaked but the rain on her skin seemed to magnify everything about her.
"Why is she crying?"
Before I knew it, I was drawing her and I just couldn't stop…Something about this scene… I wanted to save it no matter what… I had lost some grip on my umbrella in the process.
"Crap!"
I made to grab it and managed to save it but moved the bushes around in the process. When I looked back at her, she was approaching my spot very slowly.
"C-Crap I got to move!"
But my body…it was like her eyes were cementing me to the spot… Before I knew it, she had jumped right on me causing me to lose hold of my umbrella…After that a lot of things happened but one thing that is still fresh in my head…While she seemed so perfect, there was just one thing so off…she just seemed so unbearably lonely even in my drawing….and I found myself reaching out to her…a complete stranger…
~X~X~X~X~X~X~
Hiyori awoke back to the present.
"Eh, did I drift off?"
Hiyori looked at her desk to see the drawing laying there.
"Relax, you're just as paranoid as ever." Kagami's voice came floating back to her and she briefly reached her hand up to the spot where Kagami had punched her head only to rub it soothingly in apology.
That hot sensation found its way into her cheeks again and a dream world had started taking form inside her brain.
"Relax, you're just as paranoid as ever…Guess we'll have to fix that, ehh Hiyorin-chan," Kagami cooed as she pushed the kouhai over bringing her lips closer to hers.
Hiyori could feel her senpai's hands caress her stomach with one hand and her inner thigh with the other.
"Ahhh Kagami-senpa-"
"AHHH WHAT THE HELL AM I FANTASIZING ABOUT NOW?"
Hiyori started slamming her head down onto her desk in rapid succession as if trying to use her head a drum stick and her desk was the drum. Hiyori's dad peeked in to see what the noise was all about before turning back around to join his wife in the living room.
"Honey, what's that sound," asked Hiyori's mother.
"It's just Hiyori trying to kill herself with her desk again," responded Hiyori's dad nonchalantly.
Hiyori's mother just face-palmed.
"That's like the 4th time this week, ever since she went out that rainy day and got brought back by that policeman…"
It was a new day, and it marked the day of a much anticipated festival. Certain students couldn't help but think the same thing as they walked out of their houses towards Ryōō High School.
Misao, "The…"
Konata, "…Festival…"
Kagami, "…Starts…"
Hiyori, "…Now."
Author's Notes:Well then, the festival is moving along nicely if I do say so myself! Honestly this story is taking a life of its own and who am I to stop it hehe. Again, in case anyone forgot "Okaerinasaimase goshujinsama" means "Welcome home master". I usually don't use japanese phrases in my stories but I figured this one would be alright. Keep an eye out for part 3!
