PHASE 51 - SEDUCTION PLAN SUCCESS!

“Great!” The head shrine maiden, the president of the Idol Club, and the leader of the Drama Club cheered in sync. Meanwhile, Key is left expressionless as always.

“S-Sooo… When will we do this?” I pumped my fist excitedly.

“This coming Saturday!” The three said.

“W-Whaaaat!? There are just seven days for me to practice the musical play and proposal!?” I shrieked.

“Well, knowing it’s you…” Miss Harie smiled. “I know you can do it!”

I just hope I do. We still have one big trouble that concerns my life… no, our lives. Helena is still running around freely without anyone being able to match her. I don’t even know if I can rehearse the play and proposal with a sound mind.

“Hey.” Asumi-nee patted my left shoulder as she projected a bright smile. “Don’t think about something else. There’s no use in worrying about a future problem. I’m sure Alaric will make some kind of plan. So rest assured. Just focus on this.”

Right.

This is not the time to doubt myself. This is not the time to worry about something that will come after a month. I have to concentrate on this plan!

“With determination, I will never give up!” I smiled as I pumped my fist.

“That’s my adorable Tiara!” Asumi-nee brushed my head. “Now you have to do the first part of the plan!”

“Eh?”

The three girls started to scare me with their first command as they pointed the pamphlet I’m holding.

“Give that pamphlet to Alaric Eisenhower in the most catchy way. Make sure that he accepts it and appear at the time of the play… Or else… This confession play would crumble before it even started.”

It’s Monday.

The day went busy. We had graded recitations on some of our subjects and even quizzes. I was so preoccupied with those problems that I happen to forget that I have to give this magical pamphlet to him.

So the only chance I got is this evening when we are both working in the Kozukata Shrine, brainstorming on the next course of action.

It’s a school day, so it’s expected that there’s only a few of us who are here at the Kozukata Shrine. Only Rikkun, Key, and I. For some reason, Heushac is missing and his whereabouts are unknown. He even skipped classes.

The office is dead silent. Rikkun pasted pictures on the bulletin board that contains the City map of Dradecim. Those pictures he got are stolen photos of Helena who have been seen wandering around our city as if she’s a normal person enjoying her everyday life. She’s even eating ice cream in one of those photos.

“Despite this stalking info, we still don’t know where she resides.” Rikkun rubbed his chin as he succumbed to deep thought. “But even if we know where she is, we still have no means of stopping her.”

He’s quite busy thinking on our next course of action. Now is not the time to give it. Maybe I’ll just give this pamphlet tomorrow… or the next day after that… or next week… Wait! The play is on Saturday, so I can’t delay this! I have to give it right here, right now!

I looked around. There’s only the two of us in the office. Key-chan must have been studying in the library of the shrine for information about God Cores.

Great! This is my best chance!

I made a deep breath. And then… the operation commences.

“Tiara, please get the document I left from… the… library…”

Rikkun’s speech slowed down when he noticed that the whole room has been blacked out. It’s me who switched off the lights. Only the moonlight coming from the window is the cause why we are still able to see in this dark place.

“It’s… getting… hot…” I muttered as I adjusted the shrine maiden kimono to expose the upper part of my chest.

“T-T-Tiara…” Rikkun blushed.

I covered my mouth with my left and gently inserted the pamphlet between my lips with my right hand. I bent over and crawled on all fours, slowly reaching to the astounded handsome man. I locked eyes with his with the most passionate gaze I can do.

“T-Tiara! A-Are you hit in the head again!?” Rikkun started to freak out. He slowly made one step, two steps, three steps backward until he tripped and was forced to sit on the floor.

I continued to crawl like an anaconda, hoping that I can seduce him with my jiggling cleavage.

When my face was about three inches away from his, his face became bright red. His nose is a lot redder than the other part of his face, and it’s so cute~

“Mmmm~” I tried to reach out the pamphlet with my mouth.

“W-W-What!?” Rikkun is oblivious.

“Mmmm~” I replied. I can’t open my mouth or else the pamphlet will drop! Please accept it! My neck is tired!

“Amph!”

Waaaah! He caught the pamphlet with his mouth too! Now our eyes are having imaginary sex with each other! I planned to seduce him, but I never thought of me being seduced by him!

Bam! My brain explodes. Steam gushes out from my ears. I cut the eye contact as I closed my eyes. I released the pamphlet from my mouth, leaving it to Rikkun’s lips.

I exhausted the hot air from my brains through my ears. Then I started to talk with the kindest tone.

“...Rikkun… Please watch me perform again… pleeeease.”

Rikkun slightly tilted his head as he grabbed the pamphlet from his mouth. He gently opened the pamphlet and read it out silently.

“Magical Idol Tiara-chan…” His face is serious but I know he’s laughing at the back of his head. “Saturday, huh?”

I made the cutest blush as I clasped my hands, praying for him to say yes.

“Please watch me perform again, pleeeease~”

“I was supposed to attend a conference with the Friendzone Club on Saturday, but fine. I’ll skip that. I’ll watch you perform instead.” Rikkun smiled.

“R-R-Really!?” My jaws hanged in joy.

“Really.”

“Yaaaaay!” I held both of his hands and clasped it. “I-I’m so happy!”

My mind and heart are jumping with happiness right now. The grandest musical play is now sure to happen, all I have to do is to practice my lines and steps, and muster my courage to the final confession!

We both stand up, still holding each other’s hands. The quiet office combined with the smooth moonlight in the windows makes it a romantic atmosphere.

Slowly, our faces went closer to each other, but then…

We both saw a set of eyes, reflecting the light of the moon.

We both looked at the door and saw a familiar face of a girl.

“K-Key-chan!?” I exclaimed.

Yes, it’s our adorable white-haired homunculus. And she has this bucketful of popcorns on her arms. She looked like an innocent teenager watching a cheesy romance movie for the very first time.

“You guys shouldn’t mind me. I can turn invisible.” Key replied with an uncaring monotone.

“H-How long have you been here?” Rikkun and I shrieked.

“Since the lights turned off.” Key said.

So she saw all the embarrassing things that I have done! I’m so ashamed of myself! Now everybody will know that I’m a bad girl! I want to kill myself! I honestly want to die! Oh, Miss Helena, It’s alright for you to take my life now!

Key continued to talk which made Rikkun and I more conscious of ourselves. “You should have just ignored me and proceeded to elope.”

“W-We’re not doing that!” Rikkun and I shrieked.
