Things That Mix - 48G FanficIDOL ALL STAR - SERIOUSNESS + 46G-------
This is really long, I guess. Since I won’t be having time this week, instead of dividing it in to two parts, I just uploaded all. So yeah, enjoy this for the whole week. Have fun reading~
------“1, 2, 3, 4!”The Idol All Star Hit Special medley was started by AKB48’s HEAVY ROTATION with Kojima Haruna as the center. She performed alongside other 48 groups’ aces and the Soukantoku herself. Together with the selection are Nogizaka46 members and Hirate Yurina representing Keyakizaka46. Other idols from Morning Musume ’16, Momoiro Clover Z, ℃-ute and Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku are included in the one of a kind senbatsu.
Maru, the lucky lost cat, is currently having another time of her life as she enjoys watching the medley. She has her own space in the front of the stage where she is free to take all the pictures she wants. Again, she isn’t in the selection of the performers so many are still puzzled about her being included in the NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen Electiton.
She herself is so dumbfounded of why she got included but she just shrugged the issue off. There might be people who will have the pity to vote for her but she strongly believes she will not be included in the top 48 so she’s acting like it doesn’t really concern her. And for the record, she is busy with
playing the past days.
Heavy Rotation finished and the focus transferred on the little stage upstairs. Nogizaka46’s OIDE SHAMPOO started to play with Nogizaka members and the Cuticle Selection. Nogizaka’s face, Ikoma Rina-ojii-san is centering it.
“Minna isshoni~!” The cute ojii-san adorably commanded before they repeat the chorus of the song together with the live audience in the studio. Maru was seen doing the choreography even though her camera is continuously clicking. Ikoma-chan saw her and gave her a very cute smile as a reward for dancing with them.
Up next was the legendary song of Morning Musume, THE☆PEACE! in collaboration of Morning Musume ’16 and AKB48. The idol otakus, Sasshi and Yukirin are included in the lineup. The two are well-known MoMusu fans even before AKB took its first breath in the world. You can see in their faces how happy they are performing with the group they really love.
Momoiro Clover Z and ℃-ute came performing next with MIRAI BOWL. It was Maru’s first time hearing the last two songs but all of them are very enjoyable. She really likes how everyone shines on that stage and how they paint smiles to the faces of people watching them.
The song ended and the intro for SEIFUKU MANNEQUIN started playing. Ikoma-ojii-san went up on the stage.
“Ladies and Gentleman, here are Nogizaka46′s and Keyakizaki46’s new members!” she stated and presented the girls on the upper stage. Up on that stage are Nogi’s 3rd generation and the members of Hiragana Keyaki. The aces of each group went in front one by one. Ozono Momoko and Yamashita Mizuki represented the 3rd generation while the runaway, Nagahama Neru shone brightly for HiraKeyaki.
“Mhm… Kawaii~ Kawaii~” Maru nodded her head like an ojii-san.
After they sang the first verse of the song, they joined their seniors on the main stage. The audience cheered as the whole 46 Group is seen in one stage. Maru even did the Seifuku Mannequin pose due to so much excitement.
The 6th song on the list was IIWAKE MAYBE performed by AKB48 and Momoiro Clover Z immediately followed by ℃-ute and Motenashitai senbatsu’s OOKI NA AI DE MOTENASHITE. What caught Maru’s attention was Sayanee’s fast costume change from Iiwake Maybe’s seifuku unto the next song’s costume. Idols really do magic while they are on the stage.
The next song on the lineup was really interesting. HASHIRE! was performed by MomoClo and Ebichu together with FNS de Hashiritai. There is a race in the backstage while the others are singing. Maru saw Sakura, Nogizaka’s Akimoto Manatsu and Keyakizaka’s Ozeki Rina performing on the stage which made her shook her head. She snickered to herself believing that it will be a more interesting race if they are the ones participating.
Sakura saw her laughing and she pouted at her but she laughed even more. Sakura just smiled at her. Seeing her savior laugh like that is always an accomplishment for her.
Just right before the song finishes, the runners went up stage with Keyaki’s Moriya Akane wearing the crown. The drill sergeant is obviously the victor of the race. The Keyaki girls might not have their own song sang in the medley but Maru is sure about the good future the girls have.
All the idols started gathering on the stage. Finally, Paruru went up on stage and stood as the center of SAKURA NO HANABIRATACHI alongside with her dai-senpai, Kojiharu. It will be their last time on the FNS stage. That bob cut really suits her.
The girl with glasses released a sigh. The word ‘last’ echoes in the back of her mind but there isn’t anything she could do about it. Everything will come into an end, either good or bad. Everything has their own time and season. It’s just that Paruru’s time as an idol is about to be over.
Maru smiled. “Coming at the finale just like that… Such a queen…” She positioned her camera to take shots of the beautiful scene in front of her. She knows that this kind of scenery will never happen again… she will never see another one of it ever again.
all credits to the owner~
She took more shots but all of a sudden, everything turned pitch black.
Again!?Sweat broke out in her back and head but she tried to remain calm. She still looks like she is taking pictures but she is frozen to where she is standing.
It’s not a black out. She knows that it will never happen in a live broadcast. She blinked her eyes continuously, her heart already in a huge panic.
“Maru-chan, are you okay?”
She turned to the direction of the voice and her vision began to go back to normal as the silhouette of Shinobu-san starts to get drawn in her mind.
“I-I… I—“
She felt the hand of the manager on her arms and she got escorted to the backstage. Light has already returned on her when she was made to sit on the dressing room. Shinobu handed her bottled water. She still looks pale and stunned but her breathing has slowly returned to normal.
She took a prescription bottle from her pocket when she got back to her senses. She gobbled three pills which made the manager who is watching over her worry even more.
“Has it been raised up to three pills this time?” Shinobu anxiously asked her.
Maru released a sigh. She looks around while blinking fast. “No. I just raised it by myself.”
“W-Wait! Did you really just—“
“It’s okay, Shinobu-san… They come back if you just let time pass… I need a higher dosage so this will not happen again anytime soon…” Maru assured her.
Shinobu wiped her face with her palm. “Maru-chan, I think you should really go—“
“Don’t worry, Shinobu-san…” Maru smiled. “There are only a few days left before the year ends. Nothing bad will happen, trust me…”
“But Maru-chan—“
“Hoshi!”
Their attentions transferred to Paruru who is rushing towards them. The smile on the girl’s face sends warmth to Maru’s heart.
“I still want to see this scene, Shinobu-san…” Maru whispered. Shinobu turned to her only to see the faint smile on her face. That lonely yet somehow satisfied smile made her surrender to another futile convincing attempt.
“Just take care of yourself, okay? Your load has been lessened already so take plenty of rest while you can.” That’s all and Shinobu started walking away.
“Thank you, Shinobu-san…” Those words of appreciation made the manager stopped and then waved at her before continuing. She didn’t have the courage to look back at the glasses girl anymore. It seems like there are invisible ninjas cutting onions on where Maru is.
“Hoshi!” Paruru finally reached her after having her way to that sea of idols. Maru stood up from her seat. “That was Shinobu-san, right? Why did she leave?”
“We are finished talking so I guess there is no point of staying.” She presented the seat she had vacant. “Sit first and take a rest.”
Paruru snickered at the suggestion. “I just did one song, Hoshi. Do I really look that frail?”
Maru raised her glasses and looked at Paruru from head to toe the back to the head. “What if I tell you that you do, to the point that you can be blown away by an industrial fan?”
Paruru puffed her cheeks. “That’s cruel of you.”
Maru smiled at her and brushed Paru’s face with her palm. “I told you a million times to stop doing that face, didn’t I?”
“Hey, hey, hey~!” Sayanee and Jurina suddenly entered the scene. The Sakae ace carried Paruru away from Maru while the Namba ace punched Maru straight to her stomach again. Maru bent over with the sudden blow.
“S-Shakure King… ARGH!”
Maru fell into her knees after Sayanee gave her a strong slap on her back. She immediately went back to her feet and shouted, “What the hell is that for!?”
Sayanee shove Maru’s face away from her. “You two should know where to go all lovey dovey.”
Maru instantly turned red as if all the blood in her body crawled up her face.
“W-W-What the hell are you talking about!?” She shouted once again while covering her face with her shirt.
“Saa, Paruru-chan…” Maru’s head instantly rotated at Jurina’s way after hearing her call Paruru in a seductive voice. Her eyes widened when she saw Jurina is actually kabedon-ing her girl. “Do you have any free time today? We have some after-show party together with the Sakamichi girls.”
“E-Eh?” Paruru looked at Maru’s way. “B-But I am going out with Ho—“
“Come on, Paruru-chan. You have to spend some time with us as well and not just with baka Aniki.” Jurina pleaded like a real puppy. “This is unacceptable. After your graduation you can spend more time with her but how about us? Come on and join the party with us!”
“B-But—“
“Go on, Haruka.” Maru butted in. “It’s okay, Koinu is right. You should go and have fun with them.”
“But, Hoshi, how about you?”
“I will just go ho—“
“Of course…” Sayanee arched her arms around Maru’s nape. “Maru-kun will come with us, right, son?” She then turned to the two girls who are just silently watching them. The other girls also looked at where she is looking. Maru’s jaw dropped. She immediately sensed trouble.
“K-Kuroishi-san… J-Jojo-san…”
Shiraishi Mai and Nishino Nanase are just looking at her with meaningful smiles on their faces. Maru gulped.
“We’ve been waiting for this, Maru-chan~!” Maiyan said with a sadistic smile on her beautiful face. “You didn’t even say hi to us last time the 48 and 46 groups had the opportunity to perform together.”
“When was that?” Naachan asked Maiyan. “Best Hits 2016, right?”
“Right!” The older girl affirmed and then looked at Maru. Her eyes are smiling but she doesn’t really look like she is up to something good. “Come with us or this grudge will grow even deeper.”
Maru raised her white flag.
MAIYAN is in full Kuroishi mode with what she is seeing. They might have managed to drag Maru in the party, that’s a fact, but the location where the glasses girl is sitting right doesn’t really please her. She and Naachan were planning to torment her the whole evening but she has escaped yet again.
“Why is Maru-chan dining with the Keyaki girls?” Yuihan asked the others who are on the same table as her.
Jurina chug her orange juice. She has been partying for a long time but she’s still stuck with juices. “Maybe recruiting members for her harem.”
“Juu! Sssh!” Sakura, who is sitting beside her, immediately rebuked her and pointed Paruru with her lips. Jurina gulped at the sight of the unbeatable president of Rappapa present on their table. She thought they were with Paruru but who invited Salt?
Paruru is just looking at the table where Maru is. She got invited to enjoy a party but Maru purposely drew a distance between them and now she’s adding girls on her harem?
“Hoshino Maru-chan is literally a combination of cute and cool, isn’t she?” Ikoma-ojii-san said while admiring the said girl on the other table. She’s smiling from ear to ear as if she is looking at her favorite dessert or something.
“She is!” Naachan seconded and then she giggled with Ikoma-chan.
The dark aura surrounding Paruru grew wider and larger. Jurina and Sakura started to sweat heavily. Maiyan heaved a sigh and then turned to Yuihan who is sitting beside her.
“Say, Yuihan-san…” she started. “Can we borrow Maru-chan? Like for a season of Nogibingo or something?”
The 48G soukantoku chuckled at the cute request from their rival group. She took a sip of her cocktail before she gave an answer to the desperate Maiyan.
“That is for Maru-chan to decide. The last time she was in your bingo she got traumatized so much, didn’t she? I guess it will be hard to invite her again unless you set her up into a dokkiri again.”
“And that will just draw us apart from her, right?” Maiyan asked with a face filled with anxiety.
“No doubt about it.” Yuihan answered smiling. “So I guess it will be hard to make her agree about this
borrowing you are talking about, Shiraishi-san. Right, Paruru?”
Yui smiled and winked at Salt who is sitting beside her. The dark aura somehow got lessened.
“Y-Yes…” She stuttered.
Suddenly, laughter broke out on the Keyaki table which caught all their attentions. They fell silent so they could hear the conversation that is full of giggles.
“Really, Hoshino-san? You have watched Keyabingo?” Oda Nana asked in a very loud voice.
“I watched it.” Maru answered while picking her right ear. That voice was really loud and husky at the same time, it hurt her ear drums. “They pranked you all at the first episode, am I right?” Maru releases a sigh as she remembers what happened to her at another Bingo. She nodded her head slowly. “I know the feeling. I have the same experience…”
Ikoma-chan snorted and then turned to Naachan and Maiyan. “She’s obviously talking about—“
“SSSHHH!” All the girls in their table gestured for her to keep quiet. The ojii-san just raised her hands as if she surrendered to authorities.
“That fake director made you all scared, right?” Maru asked and the girls just nodded. The memories of Danger-san filled their minds and that is absolutely not a good memory to begin with.
“A-A-Anyway Hoshino-san,” Sugai Yuuka-ojou-sama popped the cloud containing Danger-san on top of their heads. “Since you watched Keyabingo, you like our group as well, right?”
Maru just nodded her head innocently which brought wide smiles to the girls’ faces. “I also watched your drama.”
The cute girls clapped in joy while Maru was left curious of why they are even rejoicing. For her it is just normal for her to watch idol stuffs.
“D-Do you have, by any chance, an oshimen from our group?” Saito Fuyuka suddenly asked which silenced everyone.
“Oshimen, you ask? You are all likable and unique but an oshimen…?” Her eyes landed to each and everyone of them. After making sure that she has looked to all of them, she went back to one particular girl and pointed her. “I guess you are rank 1 in my list,
Moriya-san.”
“Seems like Aniki has chosen the next girl for her harem.” Jurina shook her head while flicking her tongue. “Saya-chin, that’s the girl that smiles like your Milky, right?”
Sayanee rolled her eyes. “Milky’s smile is much prettier and lovable than hers!”
“SHHHHH!”
“M-Me?” The captain of the Gachi team stammered as she points herself. “W-Why me?”
“Why…? Hmmm…” Maru thought aloud while scratching her chin. “I guess you are a capable woman. I like the way you are over-serious even on little things. You don’t seem like a
ponkotsu.”
Moriya Akane’s cheeks got tainted with a pink blush. She covered her mouth with her hands and just thanked Maru with a small voice. She actually couldn’t stop grinning. While on the other table, Paruru is doing the exact opposite.
“If Akanen is rank 1 then there are people next to her, right?” Harada Aoi, the girl who looks like elementary school student asked. Maru got bombarded with questions to the point that she wanted to cover her ears. She raised her palm to them and they froze as if they doing the mannequin challenge.
“I don’t know if my list is really that important but I will tell you next time if they allow me to guest on the next season of Keyabingo.”
Maiyan’s jaw dropped. Did she hear Maru’s words right? She is actually saying that she wants to participate to Keyabingo, right? But she has declined Nogibingo’s offer a lot of times!
“Unforgivable.”
Everyone’s attention was caught by the Nogizaka’s ace’s emission of dark aura. Ikoma-chan gulped. Seeing Kuroishi not because of Manatsu is really something.
“I have one more question!” Suzumoto Miyu, Keyaki’s Reaction shoujo, raised her hand. “Are you allowed to get in a relationship?”
“Wow!” The youngest and the group’s center, Hirate Yurina, exclaimed. “Your question escalated quickly, Suzumon!”
“Well…” Maru cleared her throat. She’s still on her poker face. “I’m actually in a relationship now.”
Everyone gasped, including the girls on the other table. That piece of information would really blow everyone’s mind away. The Nogi girls are shocked that she isn’t really a harem master but has someone she treats really special. Paruru was also in great shock. She didn’t know that Maru is this proud about the relationship.
“I think there’s nothing wrong to get in a relationship with her.”
“W-W-W-W-WAIT!” The whole Keyaki kids interjected. “HER? You mean you’re inlove with a girl?”
Maru’s eyes widened because of their reaction. She was taken aback.
“WAIT! Why are you reacting like this? Are you
not normal Japanese girls!?”
“Someone from AKB?”
“Eh? Who do you think it is?”
“M-Miyawaki-san? Kodama-san?”
“Ask Hoshino-san, Oda Nana!”
“W-Wait! Why me?”
Maru sighed. She scratched her head and smiled. “
It’s nothing serious. Don’t bother yourselves with it.”
Paruru’s heart broke at the moment she heard those words. Her head hang from her neck. In the end Hoshi still thinks that everything is just a role play. Her fists balled. The tightening of her heart suffocates her.
“Sayanee…”
Paru heard Yui’s angry voice which made her turned to her. The Soukantoku’s eyes are locked on Maru. The black aura leakage is immeasurable. “We have to teach this bad, bad, BAD child another lesson.”
Paru then turned to Sayaka who is on her other side. She was shocked that she is also leaking dark aura around her, the same with Jurina who is sitting beside Sayanee.
“Not serious, she says?” Sayanee frighteningly said. A smirk drawn on her face; her chin protruding even more.
Suddenly, Jurina stood up with chopsticks on her hand. “I really hate how she acts like this at times.” She then handed the chopsticks to Yuihan.
The three of them stood up and headed to the direction where Maru is. Their footsteps were too heavy that the girls on the other table fell silent and looked scared like judgment is about to be passed. Maru went stiff. The sight of them coming nearer is like titans coming for her. She knows they are up to something terrible.
“W-W-W-WHAT—HEY!”
Sayanee and Jurina lifted Maru through her arms and carried her to the center table where the aces were gathered. They dropped Maru on the cushion beside Paruru. Maru looked around, her face as pale as the moon. The girls around the table reek trouble.
She turned to the girl beside her but Paruru immediately dropped her head to avoid her eyes.
“Clear the table! Two representatives per group!” Yuihan declared as she shows the chopsticks on her hand. “OUSAMA START!”
“WHY DO I HAVE TO JOIN?”
Maru moaned on her seat. Her face so crumpled, she knows that she’ll be dead tonight judging the faces of the trio who planned the game. Add Kuroishi and Jojo to the list and it already spells H-E-L-L to her.
She sat at the Keyakizaka table because she knows that the girls are still innocent. She knows she won’t get tormented but here she is. She just wants to disappear.
“It’s a game between groups, right? Why do you have to add me up?”
“Shut up, kiddo!” Sayanee held her on her cheeks. There goes Maru’s weird, crushed face again. “Just play the game with us, seriously!”
“G-Get away from me, Shakure King! Your chin!!!”
The room was filled with laughter as the iconic scene from the AKBINGO special Danso episode was re-enacted in front of them.
“Aniki, you have to do this
seriously…” Maru’s attention was caught by Jurina who is sitting erectly; her hands are on the table. She just looked at her Aniki without turning her head. “I’ve been training for wrestling the past few weeks for your information.”
Question marks continue to pop out of Maru’s forehead. “What is wrong with you all?”
The Soukantoku hit the table with her hand that holds the chopsticks. “Let’s start now! All participants, draw your chopsticks!”
Yui and Paruru are going to play for AKB. Their senpais, Yuki, Mayu and Sasshi, didn’t join the party anyway because they went to party with MoMusu. Jurina and Sayanee will be the lone representatives of their groups while Sakura and Haruppi is a pair fighting for HKT. The players from Nogizaka are obviously Maiyan and Nanase while Maru’s chosen one, Akanen and their ace, Techi are playing for the youngest group. The members who are not playing are gathered around their table.
They are playing Ousama or King’s Game. All the chopsticks are numbered aside from one. The person who will draw the chopstick with ‘KING’ written on it will have the power to order the other participants. The other players will not have any choice but to obey the King’s order.
Just looking at the rules, she knows that she will be roasted but why not? There might be no other chance to play this again in the future.
Maru looked at what she drew and Jurina shouted on top of her lungs just right after she got a good look.
“I’m the King!” She even showed her stick to everyone. “Now! Number 10, bottoms up!”
“E-Eh!?” Everyone turned to Paruru. She’s the lucky number 10.
“Alrighty, Paruru-san, here is your drink.” Shiraishi poured her some liquor to a shot glass and slid it to Paruru’s way.
“B-But I—“
Everyone gasped when Maru suddenly appeared in her back and took the shot glass. She nonchalantly drank the liquor in one shot as if it is nothing.
“She can’t drink and she’s under medication, you know? She must avoid drinks like this.” Maru gulped as she felt the alcohol burnt up her throat a bit. “I had it for her so I guess it’s quits.”
She then went back to her seat like nothing happened. The three planners together with the Nogi pair smirked to each other. They have already predicted for this to happen.
They drew sticks once more and Maiyan pulled the King.
“Okay! I order for number 3 and 7 to do bottoms up as well!”
A loud ‘EH!’ was heard from Sakura and Techi. They are numbers 3 and 7 but both of them are underage. They are not allowed to drink nor have tasted liquor in their lives.
“I’ll have Sakura’s sho—“ Jurina’s head flung as she got spank by Maru. “You are also underage. Wait for next year for your first liquor.” Maru turned to Maiyan with her penetrating stare. “I’ll have it for them and seriously, you all have to stop with this kind of dare. There are underage participants.”
Maiyan giggled at the sight of Maru looking at her with those sexy eyes. “Go on~ Two glasses, okay?”
Maru sighed as two glasses were placed in front of her. She hates herself for being silly acting like a hero. She already had three glasses after two rounds of the game.
At the next round, Maru luckily got the King. She laughed in excitement. “Number 4, recite your latest single backwards. The whole song, please!”
“What the hell is with that boring dare?” Sayanee asked her. “Order something exciting!”
“Don’t you think this is really hard, Shakure King? The person will really think.” Maru answered back, her cheeks already blushing because of liquor.
“How about drink one glass again if number 4 fails?” Yuihan dared her with a really challenging tone.
“Wait! I’m the King here! Why am I going to receive a punish—“
“I’ll do it! I am number 4.” Akanen barged in the conversation with a determined face. “I’m going to recite Futari Saison backwards!”
And there she goes, reciting the whole song confidently. She stutters at time which is normal for her but aside from that she looks so sure of what she is doing. While she is reciting, Jurina started whispering to her Aniki.
“Hey Aniki,” she called. “You remember when you told me to be
serious with Sakura or else you can never forgive me?”
“I remember it clearly.” Maru answered, her eyes still focused to Akanen.
“I’m going to kill you too if you are not serious with Paruru-chan.”
Maru sneered at the threat. “Thank you for that but no one of us is actually serious about it.”
“What the—“
Their short conversation was interrupted with the claps. Akanen has finished reciting it and according to everyone from Keyaki, she recited it perfectly. Well, no one from the other groups will know if she did it properly or not anyway.
“Thanks, Moriya-san. You saved me from another glass.” Maru smiled at her adoringly.
-Telepathic line connected-Maiyan: What is with that smile? Why is she smiling like that for Moriya?
Naachan: Somehow seeing her smile like that is kind of gross
*laughs*
Yuihan: This kid is really annoying me tonight. Telling that she is not serious for Paruru just like that and now smiling like that for another girl.
Sayanee: That must be the effect of the alcohol. She’s been smiling foolishly right after the 3rd glass.
Naachan: Because you are all pouring her heavy drinks!
Jurina: I don’t know what you are all talking about but yes, she kind of look drunk.
Yuihan: Maru-chan will be suspicious if we order something about drinks again. Next stage! Let’s bring out the seriousness out of her.
Everyone: Hai!
-Telepathic line disconnected-The next orders did not concern Maru at all. The rounds seemed like ordinary King’s game as everyone is participating lively and no one is getting left out. Even the members who are watching them got pulled in the game when the numbers didn’t matter anymore after Maru’s foolish order.
“All who is on age and is okay with liquor, let’s all have a glass!” She said with a huge smile on her reddish face, raising a shot glass.
“Kanpai!”“Say a number, will you!?” Ikoma-chan cut her out.
“The King doesn’t really need a number, Ikoma-san!”
She’s still a bit composed but it’s obvious that the alcohol has taken effect on the way she thinks.
When it was Naachan’s turn to be King, a meaningful, mischievous smile was seen drawn on her face. “Number 5, go and kiss Number 10!”
“K-Kiss!?” Sakura gasped. “I-I am Number 5. Who is Number 10?”
Maru peeked at Jurina’s number and she smiled widely. She arched her arm to the stiffened Jurina. “Aren’t we lucky, Koinu? Getting a kiss from Sakura like this… Do you want me to take your place?”
“S-Shut up, Aniki! I’m gladly accepting the dare! I am Number 10!”
The room fell silent as Sakura stood up from her seat and went straight to where Jurina is. She kneeled in front of her, her face as red as a tomato. She held Jurina on her shoulders and she felt her shaking. The puppy got nervous all of a sudden. They are going to kiss for the first time and in front of this many people!?
Sakura’s face slowly went near her and the kissing monster, tensed to the core, closed her eyes and readied her lips. She then felt something touched her forehead followed by her release from Sakura’s hold.
She opened her eyes only to see a blushing Sakura in front of her. “That’s a kiss, right, Nishino-san?”
“I want a kiss to the lips but I guess that’s fine. I have no problem with that.” Naachan answered.
“Thank you.” That’s all and Sakura went back beside Haruppi. The embarrassment on her face can never be described with the right words. Haruppi hugged her to comfort her.
Maru shook the puppy from the back to bring her back to earth. “Disappointed puppy? I’m surprised you were that nervous.” She manically laughed at her.
“You will really regret teasing me like this if I get to become King!”
Naachan became the king again at the next round. She gave the exact, same order she gave earlier.
“I am Number 5.” Maru raised her stick. This made everyone lose the ability to talk again. “Number 10… who?”
A hand was slowly raised. All heads turned up to the Number 10.
“Uh oh…” Sayanee flicked her tongue. “What are you going to do now, Paruru-chan?”
Akanen immediately flushed as Maru’s stare landed on her. She un/luckily drew number 10. The Keyaki girls started murmuring to themselves, asking if the kiss is really going to happen. The tension elevated even more when Naachan made some alteration on her order.
“On the lips, please…”
“Nanase got no chill!” Wakatsuki Yumi commented on the sideline.
Maru shrugged her shoulders. She looked at Paruru’s way to ask for permission but she isn’t even looking at her. She has head bowed and doesn’t even look a bit interested of what is happening. The glasses girl sighed. She doesn’t need her permission anyway.
She then set off and made her way towards Number 10 and kneeled with one knee.
“Are you okay with this? Have you been kissed before?” The drunk Maru asked her as she tucks Akanen’s hair on the behind her ears. The girl flushed even more but she is a girl of seriousness and does not back out to any challenge thrown at her so…
“I haven’t been kissed. This will be my first time but go on…” She looked straight to Maru’s penetrating stare and let herself be consumed by that. “Gachi-desu!”
“Ehh~” Maru sneered at the determination on the girl’s face. “Close your eyes then.”
Paruru’s grip to her skirt tightened after hearing the last sentence. It’s like the happening on AKBingo before. She could’ve done something that time. She could’ve confessed at that very moment, could’ve been honest with herself, could’ve been courageous enough. If she had told Maru her feelings back then, the confusion about her being serious with relationships will not happen. They could be having a normal relationship if only she didn’t stay silent.
She jerked on her place and turned to Hoshi. “H-Hoshi you can’t—“
Paruru lost her voice after seeing Maru took the cup of iced tea that Akanen was drinking. She took a sip on the straw and then placed the straw on Akanen’s lips.
“Take a sip.” Maru commanded and the surprised girl did take a sip. Maru smiled at her and then patted her head. “Let’s consider that our kiss, okay?”
That’s all and she went back to her seat, leaving Akanen and everyone dumbfounded. Akanen just smiled and continued to drink her tea. Meanwhile, Haruppi is freaking out and keeps on hitting Sakura as she remembers something with that scene.
Paruru released a sigh of relief. She thought for a moment that Maru is really going to kiss her. She had her heart died for that round.
“Maiyan…” Naachan whispered. “Have you seen Shimazaki-san’s reaction?”
Maiyan nodded. “She’s obviously the one that Maru is pertaining too. She’s her girlfriend.”
“Mystery solved. You want to play more? I can still be the King next round.”
“Let’s exchange sticks when you get the King. I will torment Maru-chan even more.” And then Kuroishi flashed her sadistic smile.
“Okay.”
Naachan did get the King stick and exchanged it with Maiyan under the table.
“Finally I am the King after so many rounds!” Maiyan raised her chopstick and waved it to the air. “Since we failed to get a real kiss twice already, how about you demonstrate us a kiss, Yuihan-san, Paruru-san…”
The spotlight transferred to the two girls. They looked at each other as if they were unsure of what they heard.
“Kuroishi-san, you can’t just order without numbers!” Maru cut her off. Maiyan sneered at her.
“The King doesn’t need numbers… is what you said earlier, right?”
Maru just gawked at her in response. She felt like she ate her own words at that very moment. She pulled another bottle of liquor and poured her glass full to the point of overflowing.
“So… What are you waiting for? A smack won’t be bad, right?” Maiyan went back to teasing the two.
“Why are you, two, so fixated in seeing a kiss?” Yuihan asked innocently as if she didn’t lay the plans with them on the telepathic line.
“So the Keyaki girls will be baptized!” Maiyan answered in full confidence.
Maru slapped her forehead and took another glass. “Seriously? Why do they have to take their innocence?” She then looked at Paruru who happened to be looking at her as well. She’s clearly asking for her permission. Maru rolled her eyes and just grumpily looked at another direction.
“But—“
“No more buts Yuihan-san.” Kuroishi winked at her. “You two… are a couple, aren’t you?”
BAM!They are attentions transferred to Maru who right after hitting the table, dashed to Paruru’s way. She’s been wobbling but she safely found her way to the salty girl. Everyone’s breath was put into a halt. She then made Paruru face her and cupped her pretty, small face.
Paruru couldn’t do anything. The moment Maru touched her she just lost all the energy left within her. Maru’s drunken eyes are just focused on her lips. She watched wet her lips before she finally descended and gave her the kiss everyone is talking about.
Everyone gasped. Akanen covered Techi’s eyes and everyone from Keyaki blocked Aoi from seeing the scene. All of them turned red.
Maru then drew distance from Paruru. She looked around with her half-opened eyes just to see everyone’s reaction. She then turned back to Paruru, she’s not done yet!
“Haruka-is-my-girl!”Just changed all – with a smack and that is what happened. She then pulled Paruru to an embrace to hide her embarrassed face from everyone who is watching.
“This girl ish mine! Don’t drag her to this kisshing game!” That’s all and she lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Completely knocked down by the ten glasses of heavy liquor she took.
Good thing she didn’t drag Paruru down. Paru looked around and everyone is just as shock as her. Maru suddenly stood up.
“I am dead serious about thish! Touch my girl and you’re all—“
“S-Stop it!” Paru pushed her which brought her back to the floor to sleep.
The awkward moment was thawed by Yuihan’s laugh. “She’s just blabbering about not being serious about it a few moments ago.” She continued laughing and then turned to Paruru. “So don’t let her earlier lie bother you, okay, Paruru?”
A smile was painted on Paruru’s face. “Thank you, Yuihan.”
Jurina and Sayanee high-fived as the plan went well.
“In the end, Baka Aniki is serious!”
“Yeah she is…” Sayanee’s expression changed. “But now we are going to carry a drunken girl home…”
Paruru turned to her Hoshi and combed the girl’s hair. She just got presented as her girlfriend in front of many people. If only she got the same courage as her, to be as possessive as her…
She reached for Maru’s hand and held it tight. “I’m yours…
seriously...” She whispered and then giggled at that cute sleeping face.
“WHAT IS THIS?”
Yuihan asked Shinobu as she presented her the prescription bottle that fell off from Maru’s pocket when Jurina and Sayanee carried her yesterday. She has been called by Shinobu for a private talk to actually lecture her of making Maru drunk.
Shinobu was silenced by the sudden question from the Soukantoku. Shinobu turned her back to her as she wipes her face with her palm.
“You are all overprotective about Maru-chan. She just got drunk last night and now I am being called just for that?” Yuihan asked with dignity. “What is really happening? I have been suspicious about this for a long time!”
Shinobu just walked back and forth, thinking of what to answer. “That’s the reason why I am angry mow for getting her drunk!”
“Tell me, Shinobu-san… What is this medicine for?”
The manager stopped and gave out a breath of defeat.
“Maru-chan she is---------“
The next words deafened Yui. She suddenly lost her voice. The energy on her knees faded that she dropped herself on the nearby seat. Shinobu just worriedly watched her as she digests the reality.
“No… No, this isn’t true…”
