The S-Class Mage is a Gyaru!?-Chapter 84: Arcane Jungle, Part Eleven

{Akari}

Nao never stood a chance, honestly.

One minute she’s fighting to keep her eyes open, the next she’s full-on passed out against Haruka’s shoulder. They look cute as fuck, all curled up together like that. Haruka’s got drool on her chin and Nao’s tail’s wrapped around her like a fuzzy seat belt.

[Blackmail material acquired.]

I sneak a couple pics for later, then pull Reina a little closer. Just a bit. Just enough that our thighs touch.

Her eyebrow goes up, but she doesn’t move away.

[Progress!]

"So," I keep my voice low, not trying to wake the gay disaster duo across from us. "You ready to show these international bitches what’s up?"

Reina watches the landscape blur past our window.

"As long as I don’t completely embarrass myself, I’ll be fine."

"Girl, what? You’re like, stupid powerful. What’s there to be embarrassed about?"

A smirk plays across her black-painted lips.

"Oh, I don’t know. Maybe getting drunk and filming myself having anal sex in a club bathroom?"

[Oh, so that’s how we’re playing it?]

"First of all," I grin, "that video got like, ten thousand likes before they made me take it down. And second, you’re just mad you weren’t in it."

"Some of us," she says primly, but I catch that little smile she’s trying to hide, "have standards to live up to."

"Baby, the only standard you need to live up to is having a good time."

"I don’t see the value in documenting my ’good time’ for all to see, though."

"Says the girl who watched my ’good times’ enough times to know exactly what happened in them."

She actually blushes at that one.

Score.

Across from us, Haruka makes this weird snorting sound in her sleep and burrows deeper into Nao’s neck. The tiger girl’s ears twitch but she doesn’t wake up.

"Your standards ever tell you to loosen up a little?" I ask, watching Reina watch them. "Maybe have some fun?"

"My standards," she says softly, "are the reason I’m heir to the largest tech company in New Tokyo."

"Nah, that’s your dad’s standards." I squeeze her shoulder. "What about yours?"

She turns to look at me, and for a second I think I might’ve pushed too far. But then she smirks again.

"My standards say you need to work a lot harder than just putting your arm around me."

[Oh?]

"Princess," I grin, "that sounds like a challenge."

"Sounds like you’re all talk."

"Guess you’ll have to wait and see."

Her tail brushes against my leg as she turns back to the window, but she’s still smiling.

Yeah, this trip’s gonna be fun as hell.

I burn a hole through the back of Akari’s head with my glare. That stupid blonde head of hers bounces a little every time she laughs, which is constantly, because apparently everything’s hilarious when you’re Akari fucking Nakamura.

[I’m going to destroy her,] I smirk to myself. [But this time not on my knees in a bathroom stall.]

"Stop staring," Miyuki mutters next to me, even though she hasn’t taken her eyes off Haruka since we boarded. "You look desperate."

"Says the girl who wrote a love letter about Suzuki’s ’rebellious spirit awakening something primal’ in you?"

Her face goes nuclear.

"That was- I was-"

"Face it, prez. You got dickmatized."

"Like you’re one to talk!" She hisses. "I saw the marks on your throat the next day."

I choose that moment to give a tiny sigh and look away.

Her perfect student council president composure’s been slipping ever since that night. Can’t blame her. Having Haruka rail her ass probably changed her whole worldview.

The same way Akari’s cock hitting the back of my-

[Stop it, you horny bitch,] I tell myself. [She’s still your enemy. Even if she has an S-Class dick game.]

"We need a plan," Miyuki cuts into my thoughts, and thank fuck because they were going somewhere dangerous. "This exhibition is our chance to finally put them in their place."

[Yeah, on their knees maybe- no! Focus!]

"Right," I say instead. "Show everyone they’re not all that."

Through the gaps between seats, I watch Akari throw her arm around Reina. Probably her next conquest, knowing her.

[Lucky bitch- I mean- fuck!]

I have to say, if throat-fucking me into a mental breakdown was Akari’s plan, she sure as hell succeeded.

We both fall silent... probably both thinking about the club bathroom again. I can tell because Miyuki’s face goes red and she crosses her legs like she’s trying to keep her dick in check.

"They’re going down this time," she says, but her voice wavers when Haruka stretches in her seat, her shirt riding up to show her navel. "We’ll show everyone what a joke they are."

[Of course we’ll come out on top... No amount of gyaru dick down my throat will change that.]

Up front, Professor Chen’s going over the exhibition schedule. Something about team challenges and formal dinners. But all I can focus on is how Akari’s lips look like they’re about to touch Reina’s ear.

"Anyway," Miyuki whispers, probably to herself. "Sometime soon, we’ll make up a plan, participate in some competitions, and win. Simple as that. Just... From here on out, focus on victory."

"You sure that’s what you’re focusing on? Because you’ve been staring at Haruka’s tits for the last ten minutes."

"I have not-"

"You’re literally drooling."

She wipes her mouth, then glares when she realizes there was nothing there.

[Get it together, prez.]

"As I was saying, even though we’ll be participating on behalf of the school, we just need to focus on beating their scores in the challenges. Show everyone they’re not as special as they think."

[Even though Haruka fucked you so good you wrote poetry about her?]

But I keep that thought to myself.

Glass houses and all that.

A light snore catches my attention. Next to us, Mei’s passed out with her face pressed against the window, drooling slightly. Some other student council lackey I never bothered learning the name of is knocked out too, head tilted back, mouth wide open.

[Riveting team we’ve got here.]

"Anyway, after we get settled in, you want to walk around?" Miyuki asks suddenly.

I turn to stare at her.

"Since when do you suggest anything fun?"

"Who says I’m suggesting fun?" But there’s something different in her expression. Less stick-up-her-ass student council president or something. "I just figured while we’re stuck on this trip, we might as well..."

"Might as well what? Actually enjoy ourselves?" I gasp in mock horror. "Who are you and what have you done with my Miyuki-sama?"

She rolls her eyes, but I catch that little smile she’s trying to hide.

"Listen," she says, watching Haruka snore, "we’re going to be at this fancy hotel for a week. Might as well make the most of it."

"What’s more fun than plotting their downfall?" I gesture at the gyarus.

"Plotting their downfall... on the beach?"

I raise an eyebrow at her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"What? You trying to get me in a swimsuit, prez?"

"Please," she scoffs, but her cheeks go pink. "I just mean... you know. If we’re going to scheme, we might as well do it somewhere nice."

I shrug.

"Fine. But if you start writing poetry about the sunset or some shit, I’m pushing you into the water."

The train slowing down wakes me up. Must’ve dozed off with my head on Reina’s shoulder at some point.

"Yo, sleeping beauties!" I call across to our resident gay disaster duo. "We’re here!"

Nao jolts awake first, realizes she’s been cuddling Haruka like a body pillow, and nearly falls out of her seat trying to put distance between them. Her tail’s still wrapped around Haruka’s waist though.

"I wasn’t-" she starts.

"Girl, save it." I stretch, feeling my joints pop. "Ain’t a big deal anyway. Haruka! Wake up, bitch!"

"Five more minutes, hoe," Haruka mumbles into Nao’s neck. "Comfy as shit over here."

"The Grand Arcane has better beds than her shoulder," Reina says. I can’t tell if she just woke up or if she’d been awake the whole time, actually.

But, whatever the case, that casual statement gets them both moving.

We pile out onto the platform and holy SHIT. Pictures don’t do this place justice.

The hotel literally floats on crystalline platforms that catch the sunset and make it its bitch, throwing rainbow light everywhere. Two actual dragons in tiny bellhop hats bow to us as we approach the entrance. I can’t tell if they’re real or magical or whatever.

"Looks like we’re first," I grin, watching Nao try to subtly fix her uniform where Haruka drooled on it. "Time to claim the best rooms before those international bitches show up!"

Reina raises an eyebrow at my enthusiasm, but I catch her tail swishing excitedly. Yeah, she’s trying hard as fuck not to show how hyped she is.

[Cute.]

"Don’t run in the halls, please," Reina says, just as I was about to take off. "Remember, my family’s involved with this place. Anything you do will reflect poorly on me."

"Way I see it, instead of being all concerned about what I do, maybe you should involve yourself in it."

She just rolls her eyes.

[Heh... I’m very, very excited to see just what exactly I can involve Reina in.]
