Going All Out to Make a Proud Girl with a Nice Face Submit: A Yuri Story - Chapter 1 Part 2
Chapter 1 Part 2
After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed, except for the president and the vice-president as they had to clean up the room and return the room’s key to the school. In other words, I was alone with Mareshino-san.
It was already dark outside. Aside from us, the room was pretty much deserted, and the air felt chilly for some reason.
Suddenly, Mareshino-san let out a sigh.
“Are those girls for real? Did they mistake the school’s traditional festival for a popularity contest or something?”
It was rare to hear such words come out of her mouth. Rather, it was the first time I’ve ever heard it.
I wasn’t trying to criticize her or anything, but I kinda need to say something here to balance things out.
“It has always been the case, isn’t it? Essentially, it’s a popularity contest. While personality, academic performance, and appearance are all important factors, in the end, it’s the students’ vote that will decide who’ll acquire the title.”
“Belle Fleur is the symbol of this school. It’s not about your fleeting popularity among students, it’s about someone who embodies the core teaching of Mizugahara Academy, ‘love.’”
That was indeed something that would come out of THE honor student’s mouth.
“Even if you say that, what can we do when there is no one who’s willing to be a candidate?”
Unlike Mareshino-san, I didn’t really take this matter seriously. So what if there were people who withdrew their candidacy? It didn’t matter in the slightest.
Because in the end, it would be either her or me that would win the whole thing.
I continued tidying up the chairs and stacking them to the side. Since we’d be having a meeting next week anyway, I did think that we should just leave the chair where they were, but whatever. This way, I’d have more time to be together with Mareshino-san, so that was a big win for me.
“Kureha-san.”
“Hm?”
I hardly interacted with her because we were in different classes. While I liked her because she was pretty, I could tell that she wasn’t that fond of me due to my rather carefree nature.
That was why it caught me off guard when she suddenly called out to me like that.
“Kureha-san, who do you think is the most fitting to be the Belle Fleur. Me, or you?”
Wow, that was one hell of a question.
Well, in my opinion, it was clear that I was the more popular one among the two of us, but it wasn’t like I could just say that right in front of her face. So, I decided to gloss the question over a little.
“I can’t really answer that question. I mean, I don’t know much about you, Mareshino-san.”
“You have a point. Yeah, we don’t know each other much, do we?”
My answer seemed to have convinced her. Still, why did she even ask me that question in the first place? Maybe she had something in mind regarding the matter?
Anyone who attended Mizugahara Academy would understand each other’s feelings of longing for the Belle Fleur title. But I sensed a stronger feeling of longing from Mareshino-san than anyone else’s.
Too bad for her that this matter wasn’t negotiable for me. My reason for it might be impure, but it was still a dream of mine to become the Belle Fleur.
The atmosphere around her changed a little. She stared at me with a serious face, as if she was taking the university entrance exam.
“…If I say there’s a more reliable way to become the Belle Fleur, what would you say?”
That came out of nowhere.
Then it hit me. The reason why she stayed behind was to talk to me about this.
Interesting. What did she have in mind, I wonder?
“Something like me getting a risque picture of you and threaten you to withdraw, Mareshino-san?”
“Not that far, of course, but…”
Mareshino-san took my outrageous words with a cool face. Come to think of it, I did hear that she had a whole mansion for a house. If I were to threaten her, I’d be the one who’d end up in the ditch…
“But, you went in the right direction. Since there are only two candidates left, if one of us were to withdraw, the one who left would automatically become the Belle Fleur.”
“Theoretically speaking, yes. Still, even if someone were to bribe me to withdraw, I wouldn’t nod my head and back down.”
“What if…”
She held up one finger.
“I were to give you ten million yen for it.”
“…What?”
Such an amazing sentence just flew out of the mouth of THE honor student herself.
Ten million yen? She wanted to bribe me with ten million yen? That was crazy. My family was a mere normal family, receiving ten million yen at once— Wait, I needed to stop panicking!
I crossed my arms as I stared at her. If she were to realize my current state of mind, she’d definitely look down on me, so I had to appear unperturbed.
“The title couldn’t be exchanged for money. Of course I’ll refuse.”
A thin smile appeared on Mareshino-san’s face.
“As expected of you, Kureha-san. I knew this kind of farce wouldn’t faze you at all. Pardon me, that question wasn’t meant to test you or anything.”
No, I was actually shaken, you know? Because I knew if I were to say yes, you’d actually give me the money you just mentioned.
Even so, judging from the way she spoke, it was clear that she wanted the title that badly. My stomach churned from anticipating her next move. Then, she opened her mouth.
“Then, why don’t we have a proper showdown?”
“…A showdown?”
“Yes. A showdown between the two of us. To find out which among us is worthy of the title Belle Fleur.”
I see.
What she was trying to say was that we shouldn’t let it come to voting to decide who was the worthy one, instead we should just decide it between us.
Her emerald eyes, reflected in the fluorescent light, were staring right at me.
This was a tough situation, I shouldn’t get dragged into her pace carelessly. I personally didn’t mind having us two duking it out, it was just… While I definitely wouldn’t use dirty tricks against her, there was no guarantee that she would do the same.
Indeed, I really didn’t know her well. I’d bet that this was part of her personality that she had never shown to anyone in school.
Carefully, I gave her a reply.
“That’s a rather weird idea that you have there, Mareshino-san. If I were to accept it, wouldn’t that mean I’d be trampling the feelings of the girls who are putting their trust in me?”
“I believe that if someone were to put their trust in anyone, they’d accept whatever the conclusion that someone came to. So, this doesn’t mean you’ll be trampling their feelings, but rather you forwarded it to someone else. You can rest assured, I won’t do something heinous.”
“Can you swear upon the title of Belle Fleur?”
Hearing my words, Mareshino-san averted her eyes. Oi, seriously?
“…You can rest assured, really.”
She didn’t dare, which meant she was incapable of lying.
This girl… I didn’t know what I should do with her…
Though, I gotta admit that this whole thing seemed interesting. I’ve always been interested in her, so I wanted to see what she was up to. Wouldn’t it be fun to fall into her trick?
Alright, since such a pretty girl asked me for a favor, it wasn’t in my nature to just refuse her.
“Fine. But, first thing first. How do we determine the winner?”
“Right. I’m no match to you when it comes to athletic prowess, after all…”
“And I can’t beat you when it comes to academics.”
I let out a sigh at our back and forth interaction.
“Jeez… I assume that you’ve come up with a fair way for us to compete in this showdown, haven’t you? There’s no way someone like you would suggest something like this thoughtlessly.”
“I guess using the word showdown here is a little bit too much…”
She quickly corrected her previous words.
“I’d like both of us to decide, which of us is worthy of the title Belle Fleur.”
“Are you suggesting we watch each other’s every move?”
Since I still didn’t know what exactly she was up to, I said those words to her to probe.
She looked at her watch. It was almost time for us to leave. Perhaps sensing that if we were to continue on the talk with this kind of atmosphere, the deal wouldn’t happen, she took a deep breath.
“Not exactly, but that’s the right direction… I’ll just tell you what I’m trying to say directly.”
It was the first time I’ve seen her looking so nervous. Back when she gave her speech at the national speech competition, there was no trace of such emotion in her face.
“Kureha-san… Please be my lover… During the two months of time before the voting begins… I’ll prove to you that I’m worthy of the title Belle Fleur…”
…Huh?
My mind went blank after hearing those words. Kureha Sara was supposed to be the ultimate ‘Onee-san’ whose composure would never falter under any circumstances, but you know… There was a limit to everything!
The only saving grace in this situation was the flush in Mareshino-san’s cheek, proof that she herself was aware of how ridiculous the words she uttered were. If this was under any normal circumstances, I would have already came forward to check if she had a fever or not.
“U-Um…?”
“Like I said—”
She was about to repeat her words, but I managed to cut her off.
“Wait. I don’t understand what you are trying to do here. Why should I become your lover instead of, you know, friend?”
“Because I believe there’s a big difference in the quality of information you can get as a lover.”
“That… Makes sense, yeah… But…”
This meant I’d have to show her my true nature, something that I’d only show to my lover… If that were to happen, she’d be able to snatch the Belle Fleur title from me easily! What should I do here…?
But… Something that could only be shared between lovers… An image of Mareshino-san smiling shyly at me appeared in my mind…
Oh no, that thought just plunged my mind into chaos. Was this a normal thing that would happen when two most popular girls at school talked to each other in private? Like they’d become lovers immediately? I don’t know anymore!
“Well, that’s a rather interesting proposal you brought up there, but there’s one thing that you overlooked, Mareshino-san. I’m a girl.”
“I know, I’m a girl too.”
“Can I take it as you don’t mind with such a relationship?”
To my question, she nodded as if the answer was obvious from the start.
“Yes. As long as it’s with you.”
Anyone in this school would definitely yield after hearing those words. Hell, if it weren’t for this strange situation, I’d be jumping in joy already!
I felt so lost. This wasn’t something that I even dared to imagine. Mareshino-san? Asked me to be her lover? I wasn’t dreaming, was I?
“What about you? Do you have someone you’re interested in already, Kureha-san?”
She asked me that question, but from her tone, it seemed like she had already known that there was no such person in my life. Did she hire a detective to investigate me or something?
“No… But, Mareshino-san…”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell this to anyone. We’ll keep our relationship a secret from others. Or do you find me not attractive enough?”
Wait, what were you saying?!
“No. In fact, I’d be happy if you were to take my hand in marriage, Mareshino-san. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any girl in this school that would reject your proposal.”
“Aren’t you exaggerating it too much…?”
At my words, her face turned red in embarrassment. Huh? Could it be?
But there was no way… It was as if she wasn’t used to being called pretty… Still, it didn’t seem like she was faking it…
Anyway, the idea of getting her as my secret lover was definitely a good thing. Like, I wouldn’t be losing out at all from this.
Since I wouldn’t give up from becoming the Belle Fleur, that meant I could just flirt around with her for two whole months. Seriously, this situation was crazy.
While I didn’t know much about her, she was a real beauty, and that was enough for me to accept this.
The only problem here was how should I pace myself and how should I seal this deal with her?
“I understand. Can you give me some time to think? This is a serious matter, after all. I promise you I’ll come up with an answer tomorrow.”
“No.”
She refused my request with a stubborn voice. What? Why?
Then, she took a step closer to me. Her cheeks were flushed, making her look even prettier than she already was. The intense gaze in her eyes made it hard for me to keep staring at her.
Guess this was how it felt when a renowned idol suddenly came to me, grabbed my hand and peered into my face. This wasn’t the kind of pressure I could easily handle!
Still, I had to say something here!
“W-Why though…?”
As I asked her that, she placed her hand on my cheek. H-Hey!
My body involuntarily shivered. No, it wasn’t because her hand was cold, I was just surprised that she suddenly did this! Of course, I wasn’t upset or anything.
I couldn’t do anything but lock my gaze with her, but before long she averted her gaze. Well, that made me feel a little bit better.
It seemed like she was about to say something grandiose, but after struggling for a while, she settled with a whisper. There was a vulnerable expression on her face.
“I don’t want you to…”
“What? Why? I mean, this is all really sudden and—”
I was about to complain to her, but she suddenly made her move. Her expression shifted to a determined one, the one she had always worn as the queen of this school, and she brought it closer to mine.
Her beautiful face, so pretty that I couldn’t believe that she was even a human, came even closer to mine as she brought her lips to my ear. Then, like a sweet poison, she whispered something in my ear.
“Stop resisting, just be my lover already.”
“W-Wait, what?”
My heart felt like it was about to explode. There was no way I could keep my composure after all that. But, the more powerful blow came right afterward.
She pressed her lips against mine.
“Mm— Mmmph–!”
No way…
I never expected this at all! The reason why I didn’t shove her away as soon as I realized what she was doing was because self-control was my forte.
Any normal girl would back away in surprise, but this was ME we were talking about. THE Kureha Sara. My reaction should always be different than any normal girl’s!
And so, I accepted her kiss gracefully, as if kisses like this were nothing to me. Besides, since we were going to be lovers anyway, this much should be fine. We just did it earlier than normal.
I relaxed my tense body as I returned her kiss. But, she wasn’t done yet. Suddenly she pulled my neck closer with her hands and inserted her tongue into my mouth. W-Wait!
Her tongue carefully explored my mouth. As soon as she found my tongue, she gave it a gentle lick, as if carressing it.
Guess the rumor about her being delicate and attentive was true. It was completely reflected in the movement of her tongue. All the caresses she had done made me feel dizzy.
For a moment, I was dumbstruck. I didn’t know who I was and why I was even here in the first place. It was as if I was drowning, the sensation overwhelmed me.
That was how irresistible this whole thing felt. It made me feel that I shouldn’t let her go.
I put my hand around her back, just like what any drowning child would do. I clung to her, determined to not let her go. Then, as if she was trying to stroke the head of a drowning child, she moved her tongue again.
That kiss must have lasted for three whole minutes.
She released me and took a step back. Everything felt like a blur to me, I couldn’t even remember my own name at this moment.
Still, I opened my mouth, trying to say something to her. But, my tongue was frozen stiff.
“Phew… M-Mareshino-san, you—”
I ended up calling her name as I tried to catch my breath. My brain felt like it had turned into a mush.
On the other hand, Mareshino-san… Her face was bright red, but there was a seductive smile on her face. A completely different smile than the one I was familiar with.
“Oh my.”
She let out a chuckle.
“It was great that you didn’t end up rejecting it, but I didn’t expect it to go this well. So you do have a cute side, don’t you, Kureha-san?”
Her taunting words made me snap back to reality.
All the heat subsided from my body as I opened my mouth.
“…To become the Belle Fleur… You’d need to be ‘pure’… Which means I’ll be screwed if you were to tell anyone what we have done…”
“That applies to both of us. But you won’t do that, will you, Kureha-san?”
“How are you so sure? You don’t even know me well.”
“Then, I hope that I’ll get to know you better from now on.”
This girl must’ve figured it out from the kiss just now! That was why she was provoking me, she knew that I wouldn’t back down so easily! She gambled on that one aggressive move and it paid off!
I could hear her smug inner heart’s voice. ‘After all that said and done, you’re still just a girl, Kureha-san. With just a little pressure, you already bent your knees. Also, what do you think about the kiss? It felt good, didn’t it?’
She underestimated me.
Fine, I’ll yield. I’ll take her on.
“I see, I understand everything now, Mareshino-san.”
“Then—”
Before she could speak, I put my hand on the back of her hair. It was soft, compared to the finest silk. Then, my hand traveled toward the tip of her ribbon. She could only watch me doing my things while letting out a small yelp.
Seeing the look she gave me woke up something inside me.
This time, I’d be the one who’d make her give in.
So, I leaned down and kissed her.
Her eyes widened for a moment as she tried to push me away reflexively, but I didn’t let her go. I embraced her soft body and mercilessly thrusted my tongue inside those flower-like lips of hers. She did it to me first, so it was fair for me to do this, right?
This was the girl who was respected like a saint in this school, and I earnestly violated her mouth with my tongue. It was like splashing paints on a blank canvas, the sensation felt so good that my mind went black for a moment there.
“Ngh— Fwaah… K-Kureha—-San—!”
Unable to keep up with the situation, she attempted to resist, but it only lasted for a brief moment. As if she had given up, she relaxed her tense body. Just like that, she had finally become my prey.
Good girl.
In the beginning of the kiss, I treated her rather roughly, but at this point, I had already shifted my method. Instead, I poured my affection at her, to reward her for her obedience. Kissing such a girl, someone who possessed the kind of beauty that’d make anyone envious, brought me a sense of immorality. It tasted sweet.
Obey me. If you do, I’ll reward you with a good time.
I took my time as I carefully explored her mouth. Before I knew it, Mareshino-san was already tilting her head, moving her tongue as if welcoming me. Her mouth was wide open and lewd noises could be heard, coming from inside.
Just before we’d go even deeper into the kiss, I let her go. The part of her shoulder that I grabbed felt hot to the touch, as if it was a ball of fire.
“Haah… Haah…”
She tried to catch her breath.
Her face was bright red, her eyes were moist and unfocused. There was no trace of her usual dignity. It was funny to think that this person was the president of the Aitan Festival Committee, someone who was loved by everyone in this school. What I was seeing in front of me was just a girl in heat.
And I was the one who made her like this.
Oh, no… This… Was more fun than I thought…
Mareshino-san picked up her bag that she placed nearby. She took out a handkerchief from inside before wiping her lips with it, trying to regain her composure. The previously dry handkerchief was now stained with her saliva.
“…I-I… N-Never expected you to be such a… P-Passionate person…”
“Well, I just tried to repay what you’ve done to me, following the motto of our school. Repay kindness with kindness.”
I smiled at her.
At that point, Mareshino-san finally managed to regain her composure.
“That’s a good point that you made there.”
“So, what do you think? Am I worthy of the title Belle Fleur?”
“…I… Don’t know about that yet…”
But, she didn’t seem as calm as she usually was. She stared at me with an intense gaze.
“Is it okay for me to take the previous kiss as your reply?”
Look at her. Trying so hard to turn the tide into her favor.
Well, fine. I wouldn’t mind becoming her partner until the voting session started.
“Let me change something to the clause.”
“…What is it?”
She had already regained her competitive spirit at this point. There wasn’t a shadow of doubt in her eyes. This was exactly the Mareshino Rui I expected to face off against.
A formidable foe who wouldn’t solely rely on trickery. If I wasn’t careful, I’d be trapped within her net.
And that was exactly why I was so eager to go against her. I could go all out, without holding anything back.
I pointed my finger at her.
“It isn’t me who’d become your lover, but you who’d become mine.”
“…Fine. It doesn’t matter anyway, besides, I can give you at least that much out of consideration as I’m the one who started everything. Besides, you’ll realize soon that you won’t be able to live without me.”
* * *
I turned off the lights and walked out of the room. Mareshino-san locked the door, before turning around to face me. Was she glaring at me?
From the way she looked at me, it seemed like she wasn’t only trying to taunt me. Though, I didn’t know what kind of feelings she was trying to hide.
But, I did know one thing.
“I won’t lose.”
She said, but that was supposed to be my line, you know?
“No. I will definitely make you submit.”
Our harsh exchange echoed in the cold night hallway.
Just like that, my five years of purity was ruined by Mareshino Rui.
Which among the two of us would become the Belle Fleur? Which among us would bring the other one down to her knees? And, what exactly was the reason behind this whole situation? Well, there were still two months before the promised time. I’d get to know everything eventually, as we’d try to get to know each other deeply.
