Chapter 61 “Okay, let’s try that scene from the top again!” Saki yelled, tapping the rolled-up script on her hand. “This time, Eri-chan, try to make the fainting more realistic. Okay? Ready… action!”
“What is that you’re doing there, old lady?” Eri asked innocently, reading straight off her script.
“I am spinning, my child,” Risako said with an evil smile. “Would you like to try? Just one touch… that’s all it takes…”
“Oh, I’d love to!” Eri exclaimed. She took a step forward and stretched her arms out. Then, she pricked her finger with the imaginary spindle and gasped in shock. She then proceeded to fall to the ground awkwardly and faint. A couple seconds later, she opened her eyes and looked at Saki. “How was that?”
“Eh. Better,” the director shrugged. “But it still seems a bit too fake. You should actually fall.”
“But it hurts if I really collapse,” Eri complained. “Why is this so hard?”
The turtle sat up and crossed her arms, dropping her script on the floor. The entire class was using their time after school wisely by preparing for the festival. The room was basically split into two workshops, with the girls rehearsing the play in the front while the boys were in the back laying out the stage settings. The girls that weren’t part of either group was seated in the middle, sewing and readjusting some of the costumes that Saki had brought from the theatre club. Risa was sitting on top of a desk, mumbling her lines to herself as were the three fairies. Risako was seated at a chair with a dark cloak covering half of her face. Saki had been directing a couple of the scenes while busily taking margin notes in her own script. Makoto and Asami were fooling around with their lines as they were memorizing together.
“Let’s move on to the next scene for today,” Saki sighed. “Let’s try some of the harder scenes. Like… the scene where the princess wakes up!”
“Ah… um… yeah, okay,” Eri hesitated, laughing shakily.
We don’t need to actually kiss right now, do we? I mean, it’s just rehearsel… Please tell me we don’t have to kiss right now, Risa thought to herself as she jumped off the desk.
It’ll be so awkward… “Oay, Eri-chan, you lie down here,” Saki ordered, as she and some other girls helped set up a couple of chairs in a row. “And Iinchou, we’ll start with your line.”
The turtle did as she was told and closed her eyes, to make believe she was asleep. Risa cleared her throat and started to read off her script with the best acting skills she could manage.
“Here is the beautiful princess I’ve heard of,” the bean read, making her voice a little deeper, “still deep in slumber.” Risa walked over and knelt beside Eri’s body and stared at her friend’s face. “But how do I wake her…?”
“Follow the script, Iinchou,” Saki scolded, tapping her fingers on her own script.
“Uh… I am,” Risa said flatly, raising an eyebrow. “I’m reading right off of it, actually.”
“I don’t mean your lines, I mean your actions,” Saki explained. “Read the italics.”
The bean quickly skimmed through the italics in her script that indicatd specific action that should be taken. The truth was that Risa already knew what she was supposed to do but she just found it too awkward at the moent to proceed. Everybody was going to stare at her and her best friend pretend to be lovers. How much weirder can it get?
“Okay, okay, fine…” Risa muttered. She raised her hand and stroked Eri’s soft cheek as she fell back into character. “Any spell… can be broken with a true love’s kiss… My princess…” She leaned in closer and closer to the turtle and stopped a couple inches away.
“Keep going,” Saki ordered.
“D-do I have to?” Risa mumbled. At this point, Eri’s eyes were open as well. From the look on her face, she was obviously feeling very awkward by the closeness between them too.
“Yes, this scene as to be perfect!” Saki insisted. “So you have to practice! Just one peck, right by the corner of her lips.”
“Uh…”
“Nakki’s not changing her mind, Risa-chan,” Eri muttered, rolling her eyes. “Let’s just get this over with.”
“Easy for you to say,” Risa grumbled back. “You have your eyes closed so you don’t need to see anything. On the other hand, I have to—”
“Sometime today, Iinchou!” Saki yelled, tapping her rolled-up script on her hand again.
“This is staying a secret to Sensei,” Risa whispered quickly.
“And Reina,” Eri added in, shutting her eyes tightly.
Risa took a deep breath as she started to lean in closer to her friend’s face again. She tried to imagine that it was her lover’s face instead, that it was Ai’s nose that was touching her own. She tilted her head a little to the side, the kiss only seconds away.
“Gaki-san, I need your help with something in the faculty room!” a familiar voice yelled, the classroom door bursting open with it. Risa immediately sat up as did Eri. The entire class turned to the direction of the voice in surprise, as they had all be absorbed by the almost-kissing scene in front of them.
“S-sensei!” Risa stuttered.
“Oh, I see you were practicing for the festival,” Ai said sweetly. “But I need to borrow our class representtaive for a while…”
“Mou, Sensei!” Saki complained. “You can’t take Iinchou; she’s the prince!”
“I’m sorry, Nakajima,” the teacher chuckled. “Duty calls. There’s something Gaki-san needs to take care of with me.”
“Is it me, or does Sensei seem a bit creepy right now?” Eri whispered to her friend.
“You think?” Risa muttered back through her teeth. She slowly got to her feet and walked over to her teacher. “Um… I’ll be back, Nakki, just… just rehearsing something else in the meantime.”
“Oh, alright,” Saki pouted. “Then… we’ll have the fairies practice.”
“Finally, something to do!” Chinami groaned, standing up.
“Um, Risa-chan!” Eri called before her friend walked out of the room with the teacher. “Don’t wait up for me after school… I’m going over to Reina’s.”
“No problem,” Risa smiled, waving. “Ja nee!”
With that, the bean crossed the threshold and closed the door behind her. When she turned back, her teacher was way ahead of her, walking at a very fast pace. Risa jogged in order to catch up to her, and proceeded to speed-walk.
“S-sensei, slow down!” Risa said. “What do you need my help for?”
“I don’t need your help with anything,” Ai said flatly, not even bothering to look at the bean. “I said we needed to take care of something, didn’t I?”
“Um… Doesn’t that mean the same thing…?” Risa asked carefully.
“No, it doesn’t.”
Giving up, the bean started to just walk silently. Something about Ai seemed a little different now, almost scary. Risa decided not to ask her meddlesome questions anymore. After a couple more fast steps, the student finally realized something was off.
“Um… Sensei? This isn’t the way to the faculty room…”
“I know.”
“Then… why are we going this way?”
Then, Ai came to a sudden halt. She grabbed Risa’s wrist and pulled towards one side of the wall, near the door marked “storage closet”. She grabbed the door handle and checked to see if it was open. Satified with the knob turning all the way, Ai looked straight into Risa’s eyes.
“Because we’re not going to the faculty room,” she said.
Ai pushed the door open and roughly pulled her girlfriend into the dark, enclosed space. Risa gasped as she felt her back hitting the hard concrete wall, causing pain to travel down her spine. Before she could recover from the shock, she felt her mouth being intruded upon by a familiar tongue, swirling around. Ai kissed fiercely as she grabbed her girlfriend’s wrists and held it against the wall, immobilizing the girl. Risa whimpered as she struggled in the teacher’s grasp to no avail. She felt her lover’s knee pressing up against her intimate spot, causing her to yelp into the kiss. Moving around and putting up a fight made it even worse, so Risa chose to stay still and instead, turned her head away to breathe in the much needed air.
“S-sensei—”
Before the student could even get a phrase in, Ai roughly took the girl’s face in between her hands and turned it forward to meet her lips again. Risa moaned as she felt her body being drained of energy and the will to resist. And why resist? This was what she had wanted, right? For some reason, her teacher had finally snapped and was really going at it. And Risa was going to comply as long as possible.
So the young girl wrapped her arms around her lover and eagerly kissed her back, fully engaging in the loving action. Risa found it hard to take control, but she didn’t mind that her teacher was in charge for now. But it was still difficult to move her lips the way she wanted to, considering the fact that Ai was fully pressing her entire body against the bean, including the mouth. The older woman’s movements were quick and desperate, as though she had craved for Risa’s lips for centuries. Just when Risa wished that this moment would never end, Ai broke the kiss and breathed heavily. But her face was still close enough in the darkness to touch Risa’s forehead.
“Is it gone?” the teacher asked quietly.
“What is…?” Risa mumbled, also trying to catch her breath.
“That kiss… from before…” Ai murmured back. She kissed Risa’s lips lovingly one more time. “Is it gone?”
“… Kiss from before?”
Then it hit her. Her teacher was under the misconception that Risa and Eri had actually liplocked! The bean thought back to the play rehearsal, when she and the turtle had almost kissed. Assuming that Takahashi-sensei was watching from the classroom door, the angle would be that she would be seeing the back of Risa’s head… seemingly kissing Eri. So this was why Sensei was acting this way! The misunderstanding had caused her to feel… jealous. Risa burst out laughing as everything became clear to her. Ai had felt
jealous; she had felt uneasy about the fact that the bean was kissing another girl, so she had taken her aside to replace that touch with her own mark. Somehow, this made Risa feel very happy.
“What’s so funny?” Ai asked. Although the student could not see her lover’s face in the darkness, she could imagine the teacher’s eyebrows rising up in confusion.
“Sensei,” Risa giggled, “Eri and I didn’t kiss.”
“… What do you mean?”
“I mean, we did not kiss.”
“… But I saw you two—”
“Well, we were about to,” Risa explained, “but not really. I mean, I was supposed to only kiss her near her lips, by the corner. But you interrupted before we actually did kiss.”
“… So… there was no kiss,” Ai confirmed slowly, “between you… and Kamei…”
“Nope,” Risa chuckled, kissing her lover on the lips one more time. “Just between you and me.”
“… Well, that really puts me at ease,” Ai chuckled softly, stroking Risa’s hair. “Sorry I dragged you in here… How’s your back?”
“It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt,” Risa shrugged, smiling. “But… you know… Eri and I will be kissing… on stage.”
“… Now I remember why I was angry in the first place,” Ai said coldly.
“Don’t worry, it’s not really liplocking, it’s practically on her cheek,” Risa assured quickly. “And… you know I only like your kisses.”
“Mm… you better,” Ai murmured, letting her tongue run across Risa’s lips gently once more before kissing her. “Okay, fine. I’ll let this go. I shall conduct myself with perfect class during the play… but I can’t promise I won’t throw a tantrum after.”
“If cornering me in a closet and making out with me is throwing a tantrum, then I don’t think I mind it so much,” Risa grinned.
“Does that mean I have to throw a bigger tantrum to scare you?” Ai joked.
“Try me,” Risa dared. She kissed Ai once more with a different kind of passion, before the teacher leaned back.
“… Okay, tantrum over,” Ai sighed, realizing she had taken it a step too far. “You should get back to the classroom… In fact, all the students should leave for home now.”
“Well, if you’re done throwing a tantrum,” Risa murmured, “it’s my turn now.”
Risa swiftly twirled around, pushing her lover against the wall. She immediately went for Ai’s lips, moving her tongue around it before plunging in. Ai let out a soft moan as she tried to push Risa away gently, but the younger girl wouldn’t have it. She pressed her hands firmly against her girlfriend’s shoulders and continued on with her action, taking charge of the kiss. But then, Ai took her face in between her hands again and pushed her away.
“Don’t forget our promise, Gaki-san,” Ai whispered, breathing hotly on Risa’s face. “You said you wouldn’t try anything again.”
“If I wanted to try something, I would’ve already gone further than kissing,” Risa muttered.
“Gaki-san…” Ai started, in an annoyed tone.
“I know, I know,” Risa sighed. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t going to do anything more. I just wanted to kiss.”
“Gaki-san, you should really go back—”
“I promise I won’t try anything,” Risa begged, her voice getting desperate. “I just… I just want to be with you a little longer. So… please?”
Ai stayed silent. It was still dark enough so that Risa couldn’t see her girlfriend’s facial expression so well, but she could make out her eyes in the blackness. That meant that Ai could see her eyes too, and the sincerity that it carried. The young girl felt the hands on her face grip a little tighter. Just when Risa thought that Ai was going to reject her again, she was pulled into meet the familiar lips that she longed for. Letting out a sigh of satisfaction, Risa kissed back lovingly in response to her lover’s deed.
“Just a little longer,” Ai murmured softly.
“Just a little longer,” Risa agreed, smiling.
