With the appeal still forwarding, Mari and the USC are forced to be on the defensive. But for how long before Kate makes another move? So just how will they counter this? We continue the power struggle within this chapter….
-Hachimitsu Academy-
June 10th Friday
12:30pm
Hana walks down the hall carrying some workbooks as she was about to deliver them to the teacher's lounge. However, as she was walking, she took notice of several students giving her some wary and cautious looks. Usually she would have her fellow peers fawning over her and waving their hands. All of this was completely replaced with just cautious looks. As if she has something on her face.
"Why am I getting stared at soo much?" Hana thought to herself. She stretched her hand around her back. "Is there something on my back?"
She didn't know what was going on, all she could do was feel rather uncomfortable.
It didn't take long before she took notice of some newspaper that the students were reading. Along the hallway, many of them were gossiping up a storm.
"Hey, what are you guys reading?"
The three girls flinched when she approached them.
"O-Oh! Hana! It's um…..you probably don't want to see this!" She said as she smacked the newspaper against her friend's chest as she tried to shove it behind her back.
Hana tilted her head at the two. But she was rather curious about their behavior. "You guys are obviously reading something. And I think it has something to do with me." She said as she planted her hands on her hips.
The two girls looked at each other with cautious looks, unsure of what she would do or say when they revealed what they were reading. The first student sighed to herself in defeat. She motioned the girl to take out the newspaper and show it to the girl.
Hana took the paper from them as she read it, immediately her eyes opened wide, her mouth slowly opened up.
On the paper, it reads "Are The USC Truly Looking out for the Students: The Truth Behind the School Underground Council".
"W-Wait, what is this?"
"I-It's about how the Vice President attacked Andre and how she attacked Matsuri."
"B-But that was an accident! It wasn't her fault! And besides, it was Andre's fault! He sang that song and that's why Meiko attacked!"
"E-Even so, I'm pretty sure it's against the rules and acts against the school rules. Also, I don't think this is something that the underground student council should be doing."
"I-I mean yeah, but….." Hana was stumped on what else to say. It was clear that Hana was not going to be able to get through them.
Many of the students around her, at the school campus, were already reading the newspaper. She bit her lip.
"Oh my, if it isn't Hana."
She looked over her shoulders and spotted Kate, with Risa and Mitsuko tagging along behind her.
"...you did this, did you?" She growled at the girl.
"Oh my, what do you mean? I'm simply just releasing what happened." Kate said, her lips curling into a wicked smile. "I must say, I feel sorry for you, Hana."
"..." Hana didn't say anything but stared at the girl. Her hand was curling into a fist, almost ready to punch her.
Kate slowly walked up the blonde girl. Her smile never fading. "I do say, the underground student council is facing some trouble with the students' trust and popularity. I wonder what will happen to the USC from here on out. But you know Hana, I think there are some good things for you." She said as she reached her, her face inches from her.
"W-What the hell are you talking about?"
The orange-haired beauty offered her a bright and innocent smile. "I mean, think about it. With the Underground student council facing such hard times, soon there will be no place for you. You and the others will be outcast by the ones who adored you, many will shut you out of the club, it will be truly a lonesome road."
Hana scowled at the girl. Was she trying to get a rise out of her? It certainly was working she'll admit, but she knows not to lose her cool, especially in public. It would only make their situation worse than before.
"But you know Hana," Kate said as she grabbed her hands and clasped her own over the blonde secretary. "I could help you escape this fate."
"W-What?"
"Yeah, you and Matsuri can join my council."
Hana blinked at this. Was that really her response? Joining the aboveground student council!? But that would be going against Mari's back! She couldn't possibly think of doing something like that! Never!
"W-Why me and Matsuri? In case you don't know, we're also part of the underground student council…."
Kate simply shoved her face, making the girl uncomfortable. "You two are different from those idiots. Matsuri is a kind and gentle boy, sure he's naive. But he's noble and loyal. Just a shame that he's being manipulated by those girls. Then there's you. You're smart, pretty and have such great potential. It won't be long before your popularity plummets, you'll have nowhere to go. But you know, you and Matsuri, I can offer you a better place."
"W-Who cares!?" Hana yanked her hands out Kate's. "I don't care if you have a better place to offer! And I personally don't care what you think! I'm not gonna abandon Mari because of their plummeting popularity! No matter what you say, I will be by Mari's side, because I'm her friend! Now if you excuse me, I'm going!"
Hana picked up the handbooks before stomping down the hall. Not trying to pay any mind to the orange hair girl. Before she spoke up once more…..
"Oh Hana~." Kate called out to her again, causing her to stop. "Remember, if you ever feel the need to leave and you have nowhere to go…..just give the word."
She didn't say anything as she just left.
-Underground Student Council Office-
"JUST WHO THE HELL THAT BITCH THINKS SHE IS!?"
Hana was kicking the pillow that was from the couch. Setting up against the seat, she was kicking it with all her might. Venting her anger out!
Meiko and Matsuri, sitting on the opposite couch. The messy brown hair boy held a worried look at the girl, not sure what to say. But he could clearly see that she was mad. Meiko could understand her frustration, but chose not to say anything, as she just sipped her tea.
"FUCKING BITCH! JUST WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!? FUCK THIS IS SO STUPID! RELEASING THOSE STORIES! AND THEN SHE HAD THE GALLS TO FRICKEN! UGH, I'M SO FURIATED!"
Matsuri couldn't watch anymore, so he got up from his seat and tried to calm Hana down.
"H-Hana, come on, settle down. I'm sure everything will be fine."
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! AND BY THE WAY, IT WAS YOUR STUPID ASS THAT HAD TO GET IN MEIKO'S CROSSFIRE AND THAT JUST GOT US INTO MORE TROUBLE THAN WE NEED TO BE!" She said as she pointed at the boy.
Matsuri raised his hands in front of him in defense. "I-I mean! Yes, it was my fault for getting into the crossfire, but I couldn't just let anything happen to Andre."
"I-I KNOW THAT! DON'T TELL ME SOMETHING I ALREADY KNOW!" Hana leaned her face near his. Causing the boy to flinch.
Mari could only sigh to herself. She is well informed about the situation of what was going on. With the story of Meiko attacking Andre and Matsuri getting injured, things have been going south. Their reputation was slowly plummeting, and it only got worse with them facing an appeal.
She opened her right eye, taking note of Hana locking Matsuri in a choke hold, venting her anger out on the boy. Meiko desperately tried to calm her down.
The crow mistress sighed once more. "Hana."
The blonde secretary eased up on the choke hold, giving the boy some breather.
"I understand that you're frustrated. But please, I need you to calm down. Given the situation that we're at, it's best if we calm down and figure out how to counter her little trick."
"But how?" Hana asked, still holding Matsuri in a choke hold.
"Let's break down what she has on us so far," Mari simply said. "For starters, it is clear that Kate used the song from Meiko's childhood to provoke her and attack Andre. Thus, putting us on the defense."
"Wouldn't it just be a good idea to just catch dirt on them?" Hana asked.
"No." Meiko responded. "We have one strike on their appeal, if we do something hasty, it would just make the situation more dangerous."
"Oh yeah…guess that puts us back at square one."
Matsuri, still in Hana choke hold, began to ponder his thoughts. It was clear that Kate was after Mari and the USC. But when she was talking to him, it was almost as if she wanted him out of the fire so that she could get to Mari. And the same would apply to Hana from what they heard from her.
It's almost as if she is primarily going after Mari and Meiko.
"From my understanding, Mari said that Meiko was bullied by Kate, then Meiko must have attacked for reasons. And I guess Mari and Kate must have a long grudge history."
"I fear that we're at the end of our wits here." Mari said, breaking Matsuri out of his trance. "I guarantee that she is already making another scandal to overthrow us. And with the way things are, I'm not sure what will happen from here on out. We already have one strike, if we get another strike, then that would most definitely trap us in deep trouble."
"We…we really don't have anything against her." Hana said, finally letting go of Matsuri as she turned towards her friend.
"It would seem so…my apology."
Matsuri blinked as he looked at Mari who sorrowfully looked into her cup. His eyes traveled the room, from Meiko who held back a scowl. He could hear under her breath of how she did not like where this was going. Then his eyes looked towards Hana who held a similar expression. The whole atmosphere itself felt heavy.
Matsuri curled his hand into a fist, he reached within himself to find his courage to speak up.
"T-This can't…" He managed to get the attention of the crow mistress. "This can't be over yet."
Mari just blinked at the boy before sighing. "Matsuri, no matter what angle you're looking at, it's always tricky to determine the solution. It's hopeless. Our best bet is to remain low and avoid any traps from her as possible."
Matsuri shook his head. "But even if you do, that will just leave you wide open for her. And you know she won't stop until she reaches towards you."
Hana scrunched her brow at the boy. "Then what do you think we should do?"
Matsuri pondered for a moment, he was trying really hard to think, not just because of the stare he was getting from Hana, but also because he knew Mari was looking at him, anticipating for an answer.
"How about…how about you try making peace with her?"
…
The room fell in silence, all three of the girls just looked at the boy as if he just said something dumb. Mari blinked, her brow raised at the boy. Unsure of what to say to him or how to even respond to an answer like THAT. Meiko held a dumbfounded look. Not sure where Matsuri got an idea like that.
It didn't take long before Hana swung her arm around Matsuri's neck again, locking him once again in a choke hold.
"THE HELL KIND OF PLAN IS THAT!? YOU GOT A SCREW LOOSE OR SOMETHING!?"
"GAK! N-NO! IT'S REALLY A PLAN! W-WELL, NOT MUCH, BUT IT'S SOMETHING!"
"YOU WANNA DIE PANSY ASS! LET ME GIVE YOU A ONE WAY TICKET!"
Meiko snapped from her trance before rushing to Matsuri rescue. "H-HANA! PLEASE CALM DOWN!"
Mari blinked for a moment. She began to ponder Matsuri's words. What does he mean by that…making peace with Kate of all people. It wasn't much of a plan, but more of…it's like he was saying something.
"Hold on Hana," She grabbed the secretary's attention. Easing up on the boy who gasped for air. "Matsuri…..what do you mean by simply….making peace with Kate." She said as she leaned forward, anticipating his answer.
-Courtyard- [Near the Field]
Anzu was by a vending machine as she grabbed a water bottle from the bottom. She didn't drink it, but looked longingly at it with a scrunched scowl. Just from looking at it, she is reminded of the incident with Shingo. She had not the faintest idea of what was going on through his head. Why was he doing all of those things just now? Just what possessed him?
She vividly remembered the scene as it flashes through her mind. When he stripped both his pants and underwear and then he thrusted the bottle onto his dick. Just what the hell was that all about!?
"Ugh," Anzu groaned as she grabbed her forehead, feeling annoyed. "Just what game were you playing, Shingo?" She asked herself as she walked away from the vendor and went out towards the courtyard.
"Anzu!"
She stopped at a voice. She looked up and immediately scowled once more. Standing inches from her, was the boy himself who remained still with a smile on his face. But deep down he was greatly nervous. Standing to the side were Kiyoshi, Joe, and Gakuto.
"And just what do you want, as if I didn't already know." She said with an annoyed tone in her mouth.
"Anzu…um….well….." Shingo began to struggle. Wasn't sure what to say to the girl in front of her. He began to sweat on the spot. "Um….l-l-lo-"
"What is it? In case you don't know, I'm not in the mood for more of your bullshit. So you better come out with an answer quickly, or should I just take my leave and never speak to you again."
"Yes-WAIT I MEAN NO! JUST HEAR ME OUT!"
"THEN TALK!" She yelled in anger.
Shingo trembled on the spot once more. Trying to utter a word.
"He's struggling." Joe whispered.
"Indeed. But Shingo-dono brought this upon himself. He, and only himself, must face the fire in front of him. *Sigh* Still though, it confuses me of where you find such information on how to receive a kiss, Kiyoshi-dono."
Kiyoshi snaps his head towards Gakuto with a blush. "Huh!? L-Like I said! I found it in a porn video!" He hissed.
"Still though, yours truly, have spent his time on the web of paradise and I must say, I have not run into a single video like that."
"Me neither."
"W-Well! Lucky me I guess!"
"I'm waiting, Shingo!"
The three look back towards the scene. Shingo was still trembling and his sweat intensified. "I'm…I'm sorry."
"...that's it?"
"Huh?"
Anzu stomped towards the blonde boy. "Is that all you have to say!? Sorry!? After the shit you pulled, I think I need more of an explanation than just a simple 'sorry'!"
"B-But what else can I say!?" Shingo exclaimed with panic in his tone!
By this point, Anzu was up on his face! So close to the point where he could accidentally look at her exposed cleavage. "For example, you could tell me what happened back at karaoke! Why did you strip yourself and thrusted your dick in that frickin bottle!?"
Shingo gulped as his eyes couldn't help but to look at her exposed cleavage, looking closely inside her uniform, he could make out the oversized bra and her nipples showing. He looked at it all day.
It didn't last before Anzu pinched him on the nose hard. Squeezing it to the point it started to hurt him!
"Stop looking at my nipple and answer me!"
"S-Sorry!" He said as Anzu let go of his nose. The boy sighed once more before looking at the girl. "L-Look, I'm sorry! I messed up badly! Really badly, it's just that…..well I was so nervous on our date, I wanted to make sure that it all went smoothly!"
"The hell? What do you mean, smoothly? What the hell were you planning on doing!?"
"I-huh…..w-well…Kiyoshi! You tell her!"
"Huh!? Hell no! You do it! It's your problem!"
"IT WAS YOUR ADVICE THAT GOT ME INTO THIS MESS!"
"HEY!" Anzu managed to pull Shingo's attention back to her! Her face was shoving towards him! "YOU BETTER START EXPLAINING YOURSELF SHINGO! OR ELSE!"
"OKAY THEN! I'M SORRY ALRIGHT! I WAS IN THE WRONG! I WAS COMPLETELY IN THE WRONG! BUT I ONLY DID IT BECAUSE I WANTED TO…..TO…..TOOOOO!"
Anzu immediately smacked him aside, his head feeling annoyed. "WANTED TO WHAT DAMN IT!"
"KISS! I WANTED TO KISS! I WANTED TO KISS YOU ANZU!"
"STOP YELLING!" She smacked him multiple times!
Kiyoshi, Joe and Gakuto looked onward with blank stares.
"This indeed turned into like two old married couples arguing."
"Yeah,*cough* and Shingo's the desperate virgin husband."
"Yup."
"THE HELL YOU MEAN YOU WANTED A KISS!? YOU TELLING ME THAT'S YOUR WAY OF GETTING A KISS!?"
"YES! I MEAN NO! I MEAN-"
"WHERE THE HELL YOU GOT THAT IDEA FROM!?"
"I-YOU-HE-I-GAK-DUH-DOH!"
"SPEAK DAMN IT!"
"...I'm sorry alright! I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I just…..I just wanted…..a kiss."
"Are you serious!? You wanted me to kiss you!?"
"I mean…..do you…..I mean…do you love me?"
"HUH!?"
The three continued to look onward at the scene. He went and said it. They didn't know he would go that far. Now how would Anzu answer it?
The brown-hair girl looked at the boy with a stare, not sure what to say to the boy. All she could do was look at her, hoping to get an answer from the girl. Her eyes scrunched as she looked at the boy before she looked somewhere else. Beads of sweat dripped against her bare skin.
"Ugh! Don't look at me like that! You're making *me* look like the bad guy!"
"S-Sorry! I just…I just….UGH!" Shingo grabbed his head in frustration. Scaring the girl and the boys. "WHY CAN'T I SAY IT DAMN IT! WHY CAN'T I BE HONEST AND TELL YOU STRAIGHT OF HOW I FEEL! I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! WHY!?"
"I sense love troubles between two lost couples."
All of a sudden, Etsuko appeared between the two students. Both Anzu and Shingo flinched. Completely unaware of where the first year even came from!
"The hell!? Where'd you come from!?" Anzu asked.
"I just came here and I sensed love trouble going on between you two poor souls."
"Actually," Tsubaki walked into the scene. "We just came here because we heard you two yelling to the heavens."
Shingo blushed at that. Nervously scratching the back of his head. "Um…yeah…I'm sorry."
"So seriously, what was going on between you two?" Tsubaki asked with a raised brow.
Kiyoshi walked up towards the girl. "Um…..well, Shingo was trying to apologize to Anzu and well…things took a deep south."
"Ah, a virgin boy desperately trying to get laid?" Tsubaki summed it up.
Both Anzu and Shingo furiously looked at the two. Their faces flushed deep red.
"VIRGIN BOY!?"
"Hey, that's a great nickname!" Etsuko happily said.
"THE HELL IT'S NOT!"
"Anyways, Shingo! You're not facing your true feelings!" Etsuko said as pointed at the boy with an accused finger. "You're having trouble expressing them!"
"N-No I'm not!"
"You literally had an issue trying to confess to her." Joe whispered low enough.
"Shingo…..what the hell are you trying to say?"
"Um…..w-well…..I'm…UGH! I CAN'T SAY IT! WHY!?"
"Yeah, looks like we got a case of a desperate virgin boy trying to apologize." Etsuko said with a serious look.
"Yup. Virgin boy." Joe agreed.
"SHUT UP, JOE! And you! What can I do to get my feelings across!"
Her lips pulled upward into a small grin. A glint in her eyes as she stared at the two. "I have the perfect solution to all your problems."
-Boy's Dormitory-
The gang transferred into the room. All of them sat in their respective spots, Kiyoshi and Gakuto sitting on the chairs. Joe was in the corner next to Shingo. Anzu and Tsubaki were on the bed, but their attention was on Andre who was sitting alone, in the corner of the room. Feeling isolated.
"Um….so what's wrong with Andre?" Anzu asked with a curious tone.
"Ah, well…." Gakuto was unsure what to say. "You see, after the recent event, Andre-dono has not been…..himself lately."
"Oh yeah, that moment when Matsuri got hurt." Tsubaki said.
"Yeah, he hasn't been himself." Joe said with a cough. "He said something like trying to punish himself for not being a better friend to Matsuri. Hopefully he *cough* gets better soon."
"I GOT IT!" Etsuko happily comes rushing in with a big smile on her face. She then revealed the object that was in her hands. "TA-DA!"
The group just looked at what she held in her hand. A golden pocket watch.
"...um…..what?"
"A watch?" Kiyoshi asked with a confused look.
"Yup!"
"Okay…and?" Anzu asked the one question that is on everyone else's mind.
"It's simple! Shingo can't say what he's gonna say, right? So I figured a perfect solution to it, I'm gonna hypnotize him and make him be honest!"
"..."
The room grew silent. None of them said a word. All of them just looked at her with a dumbfounded expression. Tsubaki just face palmed herself with a low grunt noise. And the others just held similar expressions.
"Um…..Etsuko-dono, how is this gonna help out with Shingo-dono and his struggles?"
"To be entirely honest! I'm not so sure about it myself!"
"HUH!?"
"Yeah, this is actually my first time doing this, but I heard that hypnotizing people could help out with people who are in dire need of help."
"I'm uh…..don't know if that's gonna help." Anzu said with a rather reluctant expression. "I mean, how are we supposed to know if it will work? Hell, how are we supposed to know if it's even safe?"
Etsuko just blinked at them before looking back at the watch, then back at them. "I don't know."
"SO THEN HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF ITS SAFE!?"
"Okay, okay, I understand the issue. So then we'll do it like this, who wants to volunteer?" She happily asked the reluctant group.
None of them raised a single hand. Almost all of them (minus Andre) wore worried expressions on their faces. Etsuko puffed her cheeks with a pout.
"Awww! Come on! Don't tell me none of you guys want to try it out! At least do it for Shingo!"
"...hey Shingo, you good with being a virgin boy for another week or so?" Joe said with a cough.
"NO WAY! AND STOP CALLING ME VIRGIN BOY!"
Kiyoshi looked between his friends, none of them were raising their hands. A thought occurred to him…..most of this was his fault to begin with. He slowly raised his hand.
"I'll do it."
"Huh?" All of them looked at the boy.
Kiyoshi's hand curled into a fist. "It was my fault for what happened to Shingo. So the least I can do is act as a guinea pig for the test." He said.
He didn't like the idea, but it was true. He did make his friends suffer by his mistakes. But he was so sure of himself that it would give him the kiss, but it turned out he was wrong. That wasn't a kiss at all.
"Kiyoshi-dono! Are you sure!? What if something happens!?"
"I don't care! Majority of this was my fault because Shingo took my advice and now I'm gonna repay it back! I'm gonna repay it back tenfold," He looked towards Etsuko. "So yes, Etsuko! I will test out your experiment!"
Kiyoshi sat in front of Etsuko who leaned near him with a watch in her hand and began to swing it like a pendulum. Kiyoshi's eyes zero in on the watch as it swung from left to right. His eyes never took off of it. The other watches from afar to see if Etsuko's little experiment is working or not.
To the boys they believe that it could be possible for her scheme to work. They watched with anticipation. Tsubaki and Anzu, on the other hand, believed the opposite. There's no way that this could work…..right?
Etsuko began to speak…..
"Now then, Kiyoshi Fujino~. You will tell the truth and nothing but the truth. No more keeping to yourself. Express yourself. Be honest, truthful, reach in to yourself and tell us all that you hid from us. Cleanse yourself of the sins and be a pure, good boy~."
Anzu leaned near Tsubaki ear. "Does she really need to say that?"
"Sadly, yes."
"Now when I snap my finger, you will be honest with your feelings and tell us the truths~!" She said as she snapped her fingers!
…
The room grew silent. Not a word was spoken between either of the students as they just looked at Kiyoshi who gave off the thousand yard stare.
"Kiyoshi-dono?"
"..."
"H-Hey….hey Kiyoshi." Joe said as he tried to snap his finger in front of him.
"..."
Still nothing.
"H-Hey, Etsuko, you sure there's no…after effects to this?" Tsubaki asked with a concerned look.
"...I don't know."
"The hell you mean, 'you don't know'!? So you're telling me you broke Kiyoshi!?"
"How should I know! I told you this was my first time!"
"So then how the hell are we supposed to determine if it's safe!?" Anzu said with panic in her tone.
"Guys."
They all turned to the boy. His eyes remained forward, not looking at anything in particular. But the sound of his voice shows that he was still conscious.
"Oh thank the lord, Kiyoshi-dono! For a moment, I thought you were gone!" Gakuto said as he set his hand on both his shoulders.
"H-Hey, how do you feel?" Shingo asked.
"I feel…I feel?"
"Um….yeah?" Shingo was not sure how to respond to that.
"I feel…I don't feel right….."
The group just looked at him.
"I don't feel right at all." The boy started to tremble on the spot. He hugged himself, his nails digging into his skin. "I'm dirty."
"Huh?" They all said in union.
"I'm dirty…..I'm covered in filth with these lies! These lies! They're all over me!"
His friends around him looked at him with confusion and concerns. Why was he acting up like this?
"I'm not a clean boy! I'm no saint! I'm…..I'm…I'M A FILTHY, LOW, GOOD FOR NOTHING, DIRTY LITTLE SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!" He yells as he suddenly stripped off his shirt! Showing off his naked and toned torso!
"EEEEKKKK!" Etsuko screamed, covering her eyes as her face flushed deep red!
"THE HELL YOU STRIPPING FOR, YOU BASTARD!" Tsubaki yelled as she rushed over to Etsuko and covered her friend's eyes as well. Her face furiously blushing at the boy.
"KIYOSHI-DONO! CONTROL YOURSELF!"
"I CAN'T HELP IT! THESE CLOTHES! THEY'RE COVERED IN FILTH! GET THEM OFF OF ME! GET THEM OFF OF ME!" He yells like a maniac as he continues to strip himself of his clothes by jumping out of his pants! Practically appearing naked.
"DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS!" Anzu said as she was becoming more scared and disgusted by what he was doing!
"KIYOSHI! BRO! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!"
"I'M A DIRTY LITTLE LIAR! I HAVE A WHOLE LOAD OF TRUTH TO SAY TO YOU ALL!" He screams as he points at all of them with a frantic look.
"T-That's fine! But put on some clothes!" Joe yelled.
"NOT BEFORE I CLEANSE MYSELF! FIRST THING FIRST! ANZU, YOU WEAR OVERSIZED BRA AND I CAN SEE YOUR TITS! I WANNA SEE MORE OF THEM!"
Anzu's face became furious red as she covered her breast.
"TSUBAKI, I FIND YOU INCREDIBLY HOT! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A DELINQUENT, I THINK THEIR HOT!"
"THE FUCK, MAN!?"
"ETSUKO! YOU MAY BE A GIRL WITH LOW SEXUAL APPEAL! BUT YOUR INNOCENCE AND WILD IMAGINATION! WHICH MAKES YOU ADORABLE AND CUTE!"
"Eeek!"
"GAKUTO! THE THREE KINGDOM IS BORING AND DUMB!"
"How dare you!"
"JOE! YOUR ANTS ARE DISGUSTING! GET A BETTER HOBBY!"
"YOU BASTARD! TAKE THAT BACK!"
"ANDRE! YOU'RE A TERRIBLE FRIEND AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MEIKO IS OVER! GET OVER IT AND FIND A WAY TO BE A BETTER PERSON INSTEAD OF SULKING THERE!"
Andre released a small single tear from his eyes.
"AND SHINGO!"
"Oh shit."
Kiyoshi practically teleports to him as he grabs his shoulders, looking at him with a serious look. His eyes almost bugged out of his sockets!
"I'M SORRY ABOUT MY KISS ADVICE! IN FACT, I'M PRETTY POSITIVE THAT WAS NO KISS I'VE EXPERIENCED!"
"W-Wait! What do you 'experienced'!? I thought you said-"
"NO! LIES! ALL LIES! I DIDN'T GOT THAT FROM A PORN VIDEO! I DID IT ALL! I DID THAT WHOLE THING!"
"HUH!? YOU!?"
"Hold on for a moment Kiyoshi-dono!" Gakuto said as he grabbed his frantic friend's shoulders. "What do you mean!? Are you saying that whole thing wasn't a kiss at all!"
"NO! I MEAN YES! IT'S A LITTLE COMPLICATED BUT HERE'S THE REAL REASON BEHIND THAT! YOU SEE, IT ALL STARTED WITH HANA!"
"Hana! As in Hana from the underground student council!?" Anzu asked.
"YES! YOU SEE, WHEN WE WERE IN PRISON, THAT TIME WHEN WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE FOUR LEAF CLOVER! I SAVED A BABY CROW AND LIED TO CHIYO THAT I COULD GO WITH HER TO THE SUMO MATCH! THEN HANA CAME AND SHE…..SHE….."
"S-She what?"
"SHE WAS PISSING BY THE TREE!"
They all carried the same expressions. All baffled looks on their faces with faint blushes.
"AND TO MAKE MATTER WORSE I FELL FROM THE TREE AND I WAS CAUGHT! I SAW HER TOOK A PISS!"
"I-Indeed. This is more than I anticipated…."
"H-Hold on! What does this have to do with your kissing advice!?"
"I'M GETTING THERE! SHE WANTED REVENGE! SHE WOULDN'T LET IT GO! SO FOR A GOOD WHILE, SHE WANTED TO SEE ME PISS SO THAT WE'RE EVEN! SHE SAW ME PISS ALRIGHT! BUT NOT IN THE WAY SHE WANTED IT! I PISSED ON HER!"
"YOU WHAT!?"
"SO FOR A SHORT WHILE NOW, SHE WANTS REVENGE FOR ALL THE HUMILIATION! SO FOR PAYBACK, SHE WANTED TO SEE ME PEE! BUT THERE WERE NO URINALS SO SHE GOT A BOTTLE INSTEAD AND WANTED ME TO USE THAT! SO I WAS GONNA GIVE WHAT SHE WANTED, BUT THEN SHE STRIPPED HER SKIRTS AND TROUSERS OFF! WE WERE BOTH ALMOST NAKED!"
They all zoned in. To hear this rather outrageous and crazy story!
"IT WAS A BATTLE OF STRUGGLE IN THE ROOM! THEN SHE PINNED ME DOWN AND SHE…..SHE…..SHE KISSED ME!"
"Hold you cavalries! She kissed you!? As in an actual kiss!?" Gakuto said with an almost disgusted look, but one could see a faint blush on his cheeks.
"Kiyoshi….what about Chiyo…..you're telling me that you…." Joe said with an almost disbelief look.
"How could you Kiyoshi…..I thought you loved Chiyo." Etsuko asked with an almost build up tear.
"You little, two timing jerk!" Tsubaki said as she slammed her fist to the ground.
"BUT IT WASN'T A REAL KISS! IT WAS A CHILD'S KISS! A CHILD KISS! DON'T YOU SEE! HANA IS A VIRGIN! WHY, I BET WE'RE ALL VIRGINS! NONE OF US GOT LAID!"
Kiyoshi stopped. He was covered in sweat, still without clothes. He panted from exhaustion. From all the yelling and ranting. He told them all the truth, more than one than they can bear. It was all out of nowhere. They were expecting possibly just a few lies here and there. Innocent ones, but the ones that Kiyoshi said…
"I-Indeed. That was more than we anticipated." Gakuto said as he pushed his glasses up.
"Also Gakuto, your hair is long and makes you look like a creepy pervert. Please cut it."
"That was entirely unnecessary!"
Etsuko scratched the back of her head with a nervous glance. "Heh, well…..it worked."
"In more than one way!" Tsubaki said as she bonked her head with her fist. "We just witnessed a frickin diary!"
"I'll say…" Joe said still a little peeved at Kiyoshi for mocking his ants.
Shingo was beginning to think twice about getting hypnotized. It worked, but he wouldn't want something like this to happen to him and make him look like an idiot.
"A-Anyways…he should be done, right. No more lies. You're all clean."
"Indeed. He should be. But what should we do? Should we inform Chiyo-dono?"
"HELL NO!" All the students (excluding Kiyoshi and Andre) yelled at the glasses-wearing boy.
"You idiot! How the hell would she react to this if she finds out that the boy who broke her heart not once, but it will be twice once she finds out about this!" Anzu said as she angrily looked at the boy.
"Indeed. It would be troublesome. Plus, Kiyoshi-dono is trying to redeem himself. I'm not sure if this will fare well if Chiyo-dono were to find out about this."
"Not only that, The President would definitely have Kiyoshi's head if she finds out about this." Shingo said.
Kiyoshi's eyes slowly lit up. As if he was about to go into another frantic truth rambling! He started to breathe heavily once more. His eyes gave the thousand yard stare once more.
"T-That's right."
They all turned towards the naked boy.
"I…I am not cleansed yet. I am not cleansed of the filth. I…I have to tell the truth….tell the truth to Chiyo-chan! That's right! Chiyo-chan!"
Here we go again.
"N-Now Kiyoshi-dono, there's no need for you to go that far. It's just a secret between us. No one else must know."
"NO! IN ORDER FOR CLEANSE! FOR PURE SOUL! I MUST NOT KEEP SECRETS FROM EVERYONE! I MUST TELL EVERYONE THE TRUTH! THAT INCLUDES CHIYO-CHAN!"
The boys, even Tsubaki, Etsuko, and Anzu tried to simmer him down.
"Kiyoshi, come on! You've done enough! Now put some damn clothes on!" Tsubaki said.
"NO! I'M GONNA GO OUT AND TELL THE TRUTH! I'M GONNA GO AND TELL CHIYO-CHAN! NO! HANA! NO, NO, NO!"
Kiyoshi grabbed his head as if he was trying to rack his brain to think of something! His eyes trembled with heavy breathing. He bends his body over till his knee was the only thing that was carrying him. His classmates surrounded him.
"I'LL…I'LL TELL THE WHOLE SCHOOL!"
This had to stop.
"K-Kiyoshi! Please stop!" Joe said with a bit of panic in his tone.
"Etsuko! Stop this! Now!"
"A-Ah! Right! Kiyoshi! When I snap my fingers, I command you to stop and go back to being normal!" She said as she snapped her finger.
"I WILL TELL THE TRUTH TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL!"
"It won't stop!"
On that note, Kiyoshi made a mad dash towards the window. He leaped into the air and curled into a ball while in midair! His body made contact with the window and smashed right through! Breaking free from the room and to the outside world! He leaped into the air and landed on the ground!
His eyes flared forward and made a run for it! Still dawned with his party suit! He makes a mad dash towards the school building! Where everyone would see him naked.
Gakuto and the others looked onward with blank expressions. They didn't know what was going on anymore. All they know is that Kiyoshi is in deep trouble.
"Hey guys." Etsuko spoke.
"Yeah." They all responded.
"...hypnosis is a powerful and dangerous weapon."
"Indeed."
-Courtyard-
Kate sat on the table alone, eating her lunch while enjoying the breeze splashing her face. In the meantime, she was looking at her phone with a perplexed look.
"Hmm…..perhaps I made myself known a little too early. But it shouldn't matter, this was all part of the plan in order to push the Underground council in the corner." She thought to herself.
She looks up at the sky with a deep thought.
"Of course, pushing them to the corner is just part of my plan. My real plan is to completely annihilate the underground student council. But I need to make sure to get rid of any elements that would help Mari rebound and get the best of me….."
She stopped eating as she thought back to the boy.
"Then there's Matsuri. Of course he will be an issue. From what I heard from Risa, it seems that even a punch from Meiko wasn't enough to break his trust with them. Just what's with him, truly? Does he really have a screw loose or something…..or perhaps…"
She remembered from what Mitsuko told her about Matsuri's past…
-Aboveground Student Council Office-
A Couple of Days Ago…..
"So you're saying this was a plot by another student?" Kate said. Sitting on one of the couches in the abandoned office.
"Y-Yes," Mitsuko replied. "According to Gakuto, Matsuri said that Yoshimiya killed herself due to those photos being released by Hayakki and her friends. The rumor circulating got bad and completely ruined her reputation, her education and life. Soon, she just killed herself in the process…" She trailed off from there.
Not a word was spoken between the three. Mitsuko looked at her own hand that folded upon her knees. Not daring to look up at her friends who held expressions on their faces. Risa held back a scowl, trying her best not to lose it as she held her shinai with its head planted on the floor. She gripped the handle with enough force. Then there was Kate….
She held back a disgusted look. To go that far and cause harm to one and indirectly hurt the other was just outrageous. Sure, she will admit that she had done bad herself in the past, but never to the point of killing someone. Just who the hell does this girl think she is?
"Kate…." Mitsuko grabbed her attention, snapping out of her trance. "Um…I feel like…..I feel we should be careful how we trend around Matsuri-kun…."
Kate raised a brow. "Hmm? Are you saying that I should give up on my goal of destroying the underground council?"
"N-No! Nothing like that! That's up to you! But…" Mitsuko's hand curled into a fist. "I feel that we should be careful around Matsuri. It's clear that he's been through alot and just us using his emotion against him, wouldn't that make us look bad."
Kate blinked at this.
"Wha? W-Who cares." She said, trying to shrug off the concern. "It's just one student. And besides, we have plenty of peers who will be looking up to us. Just one student, or maybe a few in this case, hating us. Please, I'm not concerned one bit." She said as she crossed her arms under her bust with her eyes closed.
Mitsuko looked at the council president with a stern stare. Saying nothing, just watching her with an unreadable expression. Kate could feel the stare(s) she was getting and it just made her uncomfortable.
"W-Whatever is the matter, you two!?" She said with an impatient tone.
Risa flinched and turned the other way with a blush. But Mitsuko kept her gaze.
"Kate…..I know you're bothered. If you wish to continue this, I will not interfere. I know you want to do this in order to get to Mari but….don't you think you should at least be considerate towards Matsuri feelings. Not as a council….but as a friend."
Kate cheeks flushed faint red as she pondered in her seat.
-Courtyard-
Back in the present…..
Kate sighed to herself.
"My goodness Mitsuko, just where do you get off like that? I mean, me? Caring about what just one simple student is going to think about me? Please! In case she's forgotten, we are doing this in order to destroy the underground council! Only then…only then when I will be satisfied."
"Oooh. Is that so?"
Kate turned her head and spotted a very familiar person in front of her. Her long black hair that stretched towards her back and with two bangs on her shoulders. Her pale complex smooth skin and red lips. Mari Kurihara.
"M-MARI!?" Kate jolted from her seat!
"Oh my. I apologize, I didn't mean to scare you." Mari said with a knowing grin.
The little smug only pissed her off. "Geez, don't go around scaring people like that. Back I'm a little surprised, you're usually held up in your office where you consider your nest. And you usually have those two animals protecting you. Speaking of, where are they?"
"They got other things to do, but beside that Kate…I simply wished for the opportunity for us to speak."
Kate raised a brow. She did hear that right, right? Just speaking between each other…what?
A small grin tugged at her lip. "Oooh~. What's this? You wish to speak to me and me alone? Let me guess, it has to deal with the appeal I sent to your father, isn't it? Well too bad, I already made my call and it's too late to beg for forgiveness. Or are you here to finally surrender to me?" Kate said with a devious smile.
"Well, you could say that some of it has to deal with the appeal that you sent to my father. But make no mistakes, I'm not here to beg for mercy nor am I going to surrender to you." Mari simply said that shocked Kate for a moment. "But for now, pretend this is a sort….ceasefire. I just simply wish to speak with you." She smiled at the confused girl.
Kate was beyond confused. A faint blush flushed upon her cheeks with small beads of sweat dripping against her skin.
"O-Oh…..is that so…" Kate said, her eyes shifting in the other direction.
"Is something the matter?"
"Well…..it's rather unlike you to start up a conversation with me. I-I imagined you would be held up within your nest, spouting all sorts of nonsense on why you hate boys or something like that." She said trying to sound imposing and intimidating. But could not calm down with this sudden approach by Kate.
Mari rolled her eyes. "Please, I still have my doubts about those beasts. But I do have second thoughts on them. This also includes Matsuri as well. Speaking of Matsuri, I wish to ask you a question about him before I speak with you about something important."
Kate looked back at the girl. "Oh? And that is?"
Mari leaned on the table. "Matsuri told me that you offered a deal to him. That you were going to reveal to the school what happened to Yoshimiya. But after he made his condition, you immediately turned it down. That was rather unlike you to turn something down like that, especially if you're using it to further your goal. Why is that?"
Kate bit her lip as her blush deepend. "H-He ruined the fun. I had it all planned out too. I simply thought he was going to take my offer, but he went and ruined it."
"Oh."
"What do you mean 'oh'!? Is 'oh' all you have to say!"
"I would use other languages, but I would imagine you would have a hard time understanding them." Mari smirked.
Kate puffed her cheeks. "I know them! I know them well!"
"Do you?" She challenged the girl.
Kate clicked her tongue as she looked the other way with a huff. "Have you only come here to poke fun at me? That's rather bold of you for someone who is facing a reputation issue and might be the laughing stock of the school."
"No. I just came here to have just a small idle chat with the girl who seems to always find a way to rival me." Mari smiled at the girl.
Kate cheeks flushed red, her heart began to beat just a bit against her chest. Her eyes looked in the other direction hoping to avoid her contact, but easier said than done with her sitting in front of her.
"W-Well, you got my attention, what would you like to speak about?"
"I wish to talk about the appeal."
"Oh?" Kate smirked.
"I know you're using the appeal to overthrow the underground council. All so that you can claim yourself as the council. If you really wanted to get revenge on me, you should've just challenged me head on. Instead of using such trivial means. And involving my friends."
Kate brow raised with a smirk hidden behind her hands. "Revenge…..you think I'm doing this all out of vengeance. Oh no…..this is more than just simple vengeance. And you should know." She said the last bit with venom.
Mari simply just blinked at her before speaking up again. "I'm aware. But back to the topic, how about we settle this little matter through other means. I mean, we're both presidents of our respective councils, and you obviously possess such potential that could rival against me."
Kate cheeks flushed red. She wasn't expecting to hear that from her rival. "A-Are you trying to flatter me through words like that."
"Don't go off being like that. I'm only stating the truth." Mari simply offered a small smile at the girl. "However, as I said before, instead of wasting time on the appeal, let's settle this through other means."
"And that would be?"
Mari groaned a little bit. "How would you like it…..if both the ASC and the USC join as one."
"..." Kate did not say a word. She simply just looked at Mari who looked rather embarrassed or just not pleased with saying the idea out loud. This wasn't like her. But the idea sounded familiar…..
"Mari? Did you perhaps get that from Matsuri?"
Mari sighed. "Sadly yes. I told him that it was a ridiculous idea. But he insisted that I should give it a shot. Of course, I told him it wouldn't work. Especially with how you behave."
"Hm. I suppose you're right, I mean you and I are rather different in moral…and other things." She said with a hint of disappointment. "But hey, since you're here, how about we settle this through something else. How about a fair and honest fight?"
"Explain."
"I believe you should know. After all, the main event is next month."
"...sports festival."
Kate clapped her hands. "That's right! As expected of you, Mari! During the sports festival, I want a fair and honest fight between our respective councils. I like to do a wager, a wager of our existence in the school."
"So whoever loses, they have to dissolve their council then?"
"Yes. I say that's a fair fight now. Wouldn't you agree?" Kate said with a bright smile.
Mari looked at the girl with a pondering thought. Knowing Kate, she is sure that she will continue to make things harder for her and the underground council. However, she could not back down from this fight. She didn't start this war, but she will most certainly finish it.
"Very well then. I agree. A fair and honest fight then. During the sports festival."
Kate's smile grew wider as she stretched her hand out and shook hers. The two locked eyes with each other with fire determination within their souls. It didn't take long before she went back to eating.
Kate giggled. "Honestly, that boy. I don't know where he gets the idea of us working together. By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, why did you bring that boy into the council. Did the crow mistress suddenly grow a heart for boys."
"As I said before, the boys, I still hold them in my view, but every once in a while, I will hold them in a positive view. That also goes for Matsuri." Kate listened to the girl. "He has been through so much hardship during his time back at Atsuhiko academy and has also lost a dear friend to him. And all of it was due to one student's cruel game."
"Hayakki."
"So you've heard about her."
Kate pondered for a moment. "I wouldn't say I'm too familiar, after all I'm not all too close to Matsuri, but according to Mitsuko from what she heard from Gakuto, Hayakki certainly did not treat the boy so well. And have caused much distrust and crippled his self-esteem. Poor dear, suffered so much. And now he's being led around by you."
Mari crossed her arms under her bust. "And just what is that supposed to mean?"
"I mean, think about it, the moment he was transferred here, you weren't too kind to him and were even trying to throw him in prison."
Mari twitched. "I…..we don't talk about that."
"I SAW HANA PISSED!"
Both of them nearly jumped from their seats when they heard Kiyoshi running past, his hands close to his sides. Running at an almost T-pose! Fully naked with his mushroom showing in full view! Both Mari and Kate wore confused expressions as they spotted him running past by, his eyes bugged out and looking forward.
"I SAW HANA PEE AND WE KISSED! I'M SPREADING TRUTH! EVERYONE MUST KNOW!"
"..."
"KIYOSHI-DONO! COME BACK!"
They turned their heads around and spotted a group of familiar faces. Gakuto, Shingo, Joe, Anzu, Etsuko, and Tsubaki were all chasing Kiyoshi.
"GET BACK HERE KIYOSHI!"
"YOU'RE GONNA PLUMMET YOUR FUTURE DOWN THE DRAIN AT THIS *COUGH* POINT!"
"AND GOD DAMN IT! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" Tsubaki yelled with some clothes in her hand.
They all ran after Kiyoshi, not paying mind to both Mari and Kate who remained still in their seats. Not sure what to say or even react to what they saw.
"Um….was that Kiyoshi running without his clothes?" Kate asked.
"I-It would seem so….."
"And was he screaming he saw Hana pee and they…..kissed?"
"...it would seem so."
They just remained there. Completely lost of what happened and just witnessed.
-Hallway-
"I see," Meiko spoke. Walking alongside Matsuri and Hana within the hall. "So you wish to make peace with Kate?"
"Yeah."
Hana scrunched her eyes at the boy. "The hell is that supposed to accomplish?"
"Nothing much. But wouldn't it make it easier if we just ceasefire for a moment and possibly make peace. Who knows, it may even confuse Kate."
Meiko raised a brow. "Really now? How so?"
"Well, if from my understanding, Mari and Kate have a long standing rivalry with each other. I figured someone like Kate would possibly expect Mari would try to counter her with some strats of her own. So I did the one thing that she would definitely not expect."
"I see. So you were tempting to throw Kate off guard with that idea of yours. Rather devious." Meiko said with a smirk.
Matsuri scratched the back of his head feeling nervous. "Well…..that was part of the idea but…..I was being serious about them teaming up or something."
"Not gonna happen." Hana bluntly said. "I'm not too familiar with Kate, but judging from her. I say she's jealous of Mari's popularity, so I don't see them on common ground."
"I would have to agree with Hana on this, Matsuri," Meiko looked at the boy with a sympathetic look. "Asking someone like Kate to join forces with the president is like moving a brick wall. It won't work, no matter how you look at it."
The boy messed with the strand of his hair feeling dejected. He knows it may be impossible, but he found this whole squabble pointless. From what he saw of Kate, she seemed like a nice girl, at least that's what he saw from her. According to both Mari and Meiko, Kate was said to be ruthless and cruel who played mean and dirty games. While he does get the impression during their little lunchtime. But the moment when she showed him the story she would produce, and when she shot down his condition and scolded him.
It's like she was a different person….
"Matsuri?"
"Huh? Oh sorry. H-Hey, I'm really sorry for bringing up such dumb ideas around you. I know Kate used to be your bully and all…but…I don't know how to say much from there."
Meiko sighed to herself before she bounced Matsuri's side with her hip. "You idiot. Sometimes you can be so naive…..of course you would come up with an idea such as that. Your heart was in the right place."
"Y-Yeah….sorry about that. If anything goes wrong later on, then you can hit me if you want."
"I know I would." Hana answered.
"That's fair."
Meiko mused for a moment with her eyes closed. Pondering on the offer from Matsuri. She then reached her hand towards Matsuri's ear and gave it a pinch. Causing Matsuri to yelp a little in pain. He looks up at the amazon beauty who chuckled.
"I'm not gonna get angry at you for following what your voice tells you to do." She said as she looked at Matsuri with a grin.
Matsuri offered one back with a faint blush.
Hana watched them quietly from the side. She still couldn't believe that the two were becoming a thing as they spend more time with each other. From the beginning, the boy was seen as a potential enemy to the USC. But now here he is, under their roof and as an official member. She still doesn't exactly see him as anything special, but he wasn't bad.
"At least he's better than that-"
"I SAW HANA PEE!"
All of them jumped a bit at that. The one who reacted the most was Hana as her face paled. Beads of sweat immediately dropped against her skin. The voice echoed within her ears.
They took notice of the abundance of students gathering at the window. Looking out at where the prison block is at. Matsuri, Meiko, (and a reluctant Hana) walked towards the window and all of them immediately had almost similar expressions on their faces from what they saw.
Out in the prison block, running around in a circle with his mushroom showing in full public! Screaming his head off and saying the same thing over and over and it made Hana blood ran cold.
"I SAW IT! I SAW HANA PEE! YOU HEAR ME SCHOOL! I'M A DISGUSTING PERVERT WHO SAW HANA PEE AND I PEE ON HER! WE THEN KISSED I SAY! KISSED!"
"KIYOSHI-DONO PRAY CALM YOURSELF!"
"PUT YOUR DAMN CLOTHES YOU FUCKIN, BIRTHDAY SUIT WEARING HYPNOTIZED DUMBASS!"
"GRAB HIM! HURRY!"
The group towed behind trying their best to grab him as he ran and juked them from every corner and angle. Tears were flying from his eyes.
"WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME!? I'M TRYING TO CLEANSE MYSELF OF THIS FILTH! I'M SAVING MYSELF!"
"THE HELL YOU ARE! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"
"NEVER! NOT UNTIL I'M A CLEAN AND GOOD BOY!"
"YOU'RE DOING THE EXACT OPPOSITE!"
"Hey, what's he doing? Going around running like that?"
"Not sure. But he keeps on yelling things like, 'seeing Hana pee and he peed on her'?"
"No way that's true, right? Our Hana?"
"Well he keeps on yelling about it, but what if it is true?"
"Still, why is he naked?"
All of the murmurs around them builded up. All whispering the same thing. And the victim was among the crowd.
Hana's face paled, sweat dripped against her bare skin and soaking her uniform. A heavy blush covering her face, turning red from embarrassment, anger, and utter shame. She tried her best to hide between her shoulders, lowering herself so that no one could see her. Her heart raced and pounded hard against her chest. Muffling all the noise around her. But there was one voice she could hear loud and clear. And that voice belonged to Kiyoshi.
"I SAW HANA PEE!"
Something within her snapped.
Kiyoshi was cornered by the six students who slowly tried to approach him. The boy desperately tried to find a way to escape so that he could continue to cleanse himself of the lies. Not aware of the hypnosis.
"Kiyoshi-dono! Pray, no more. Come back to your senses! Come back to the harsh world of reality!"
"NOT UNTIL I CLEANSE MYSELF OF THE LIES!"
"Look around you moron! You caused such a scene that you literally gathered almost all of the students here!" Tsubaki yelled as she swung her arm behind her, gesturing to the windows that surrounded the prison block.
"THAT'S GOOD! THEN THEY HEAR ME! SEE ME! WATCH AS I CLEANSE MY SOUL OF THIS-"
He stopped at the sound of a window shattering. All of them looked upward, above Kiyoshi's head as the figure crashed through the window. The figure curled into a ball with her hands close to her body. Time slowed down between them as the figure fell to the ground, once making it towards the ground, she landed on her feet with a perfect landing.
Kiyoshi's and the others' blood ran cold when they got a better look at the figure. Even Kiyoshi' who immediately lost the desire to cleanse himself, looked onward with fear trembling down his spine. His hair is standing on edge. He looked onward with trembling eyes.
Hana stood motionless, her hair completely covering her face. Not saying a word. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of her breathing.
"H-Hana….."
"...you…you just find it fun screaming your heart out don't you?"
"H-Huh!? I was….I was…..wait….what was I doing?"
The six classmates look at the boy with a dumbfounded look.
"Wait! Where's my clothes! HOW COME I'M OUT HERE NAKED!?"
"NOW YOUR BACK TO NORMAL!? DA FUCK MAN!?"
"Kiyoshi-dono! You were hypnotized and were telling everyone the truth about you and Hana-dono!"
Kiyoshi's face froze.
"...I…..I was?"
"Yeah! And now Hana is gonna kill you!"
Kiyoshi felt fear tremble down his spine when his eyes looked over his shoulders behind him. He turned to see Hana walking towards him with heavy steps. The pressure around her was becoming heavy. The boy was having a hard time breathing.
"H-Hana….Hana wait! I-It was a mistake! Honest!"
"It's too late. Everyone knows. Now do me a favor. Hold still….and-"
"Oh shit."
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
….
And that's a wrap! Kiyoshi once again finds himself thrown into the pits of hell with the demon queen, Hana, out for blood! Will he escape the clutches of her wrath or will this be the end of his highschool life? Not that it has already ended to begin with. And Kate reveals more of her plan of overthrowing the underground council, it all lies with the upcoming sports festival. The battle between the two councils is a month away….
This chapter was equally fun and pretty chill to write. Not too much going on, but a rare moment of ceasefire between the two respective councils as they just do idle chat with each other. Again, we all know that Kate is not an entirely bad person, but she will try anything to defeat Mari and reclaim what belonged to her. But like Mari, I was thinking of having Kate go through some personal growth of her own as well. With the crow mistress, she had a hatred towards males and with Kate, I believe it was her inferior complex issue. In the manga she has worked hard to get where she needed to be and rival Mari's standing one day. Of course, she would go as far to defeat Mari at her own game by playing dirty. I wish to explore more of the rivalry between the two and develop it further.
I'm basically putting Matsuri in an interesting position where he will act as a way for Mari and Kate to start communicating with each other. I would like to thank axel100 for the brief idea of how Matsuri would play in this situation.
Then there's the two characters. We return to Kiyoshi and Hana little squabble and boy howdy the next time we see them, it's gonna be a doozy. I may have taken things to the extreme with Kiyoshi being hypnotized, but damn it, I love the idea and I think it would definitely fit within the Prison School story. But yes, I have not forgotten about these two and made things more extreme for Kiyoshi. But I can't help it, I just like coming up with crazy ideas for these two before things can finally settle down between them. I know there are some of you who don't like the whole Kiyoshi and Hana scramble, but I can't just do without them. It made Prison School a crazy ride.
As always, thank you for reading this chapter. Leave comments for feedback, stay safe, and I will see all of you guys in the next chapter!
