Chapter 39“I don’t believe you two. It’s a
broom closet. Kame’s breathing in all those filth as we speak!”
Risa was surprised at herself for getting so agitated. She didn’t know the reason for that either but for some reason, all her sanitary knowledge learnt from school came rushing back into her memory all at once.
Wanting to get Eri out of the dingy closet ASAP Risa reached her hand out to pull at the slightly rusted handle of the gray metallic structure only to have Sayumi seize it back hurriedly.
“Don’t! You gotta ask for permission first.”
.
“Of course, I was going to do that. Could I please open the door Kame?”
Waiting for slightly under a minute and still not hearing a response, Risa turned to Sayumi with a blank stare. Shaking her head with a sigh, Sayumi spoke like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
“You have to ask the closet for permission silly.”
“Okay you’re totally
losing it.”
.
“
Eri said so. We have to ask the closet before we open the door.”
Sayumi protested with a slight pout and refused to let Risa anywhere near the closet until she complied. Giving the naive girl a steely glare, Risa narrowed her eyes and bit her lip before she started yelling at the usa-chan girl.
Thinking over how she should ‘ask a non-living thing’ for consent, she decided to go with knocking. The rokkies were nuts anyway, it wouldn’t matter if they saw her doing it. What Risa didn’t count on was unexpected visitors passing through.
“Tap tap.”
“Tap tap.”
“Could I please open your door Mr Closet?”
Risa counted the knocks silently in her mind and decided four times was enough. Just as she was going to pull on the handle again, someone, or rather a few people called out her name.
“Niigaki-san?”
Gulping, Risa turned around to face the owner of the voice. If she was right at recognizing the owner, and she usually was, it would mean the time to jump into a six feet deep hole had arrived.

“Mai mai! And Kanna-chan too.”
The smile on Risa’s face was frozen in place as she watched the curious looks the two C-ute members were giving her. From the corner of her eye, she could make out the rest of the group casting her weird looks as well.
“So! What are you doing here?”
“We’re going out for a location shoot senpai.”
Mai mai explained with a slight nod of her head while Kanna stood beside her quietly. Since Arihara Kanna was the newest member of C-ute and was still rather unsure of what she should and shouldn’t do, she usually remained silent while the other members spoke.
“Right….right.”
Risa nodded enthusiastically with the hope that it would hide her embarrassment. For once she couldn’t think of what to do to get herself out of this awkward situation. Someone was going to pay dearly for all the humiliation she suffered tonight.
“Mai mai, Kanna-chan we should get going. The bus wouldn’t wait.”
Megumi’s voice broke the silence and Risa thanked her with all her heart for being so mature and smart. It was a wonder how she and Sayumi got along. It was definitely an unusual relationship.
As soon as Risa and Sayumi were left alone again after the group of eight girls trooped a safe distance away from the corridor, Risa asked the younger girl through gritted teeth.
“Didn’t you say this place was
deserted?”
“It is. But the bus bay is just nearby…”
Slapping her forehead with one hand, Risa blinked a couple of times to regain her composure. She remindered herself silently over and over that Sayumi had a really nice head of black hair. Too beautiful and luscious to ruin in a crazed moment of anger before she managed to keep her hands steady by her side.
Needing to channel her energies into forgetting how disgraced she was minutes ago and how she would probably become the talk of the under fifteen girls for at least a month, Risa decided she was going in. Into the closet that is.
“Kame, ready or not
I’m coming in!”
