Liar, Liar, the Mage's Desire Vol. 1 (A New Oumeno)

The Mean Teacher (End)

      The next morning, the students at Casa V3 were getting ready to go to Hope's Peak. Kokichi knocked on Himiko's door to see how she was doing. Like the night before, Tenko opened the door.

   "You can't come in," she said.

   "Why not?" Kokichi asked.

    "Himiko is changing," Tenko replied. Kokichi's eyes lit up.

   "Ooo, I wanna see! I wanna see!" he said, trying to push Tenko aside. It wasn't his intention to see Himiko naked, he was just trying to get Tenko all riled up. 

   "NO!!!" Tenko exclaimed with overemphasis. She shoved Kokichi back so hard, he hit the wall. "You servy pick-o...I mean, you perky sivo...I mean...AUGHH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!! Just stop being creepy, you degenerate!" She slammed the door, leaving Kokichi laughing impishly to himself. Kokichi decided to wait for Himiko to come down for breakfast, so he walked nonchalantly downstairs to the dining room table. Moments later, Himiko entered the dining room and sat down next to Kokichi. He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.

   "Feelin' better, Monkey Buns?" he asked her. 

   "A little," Himiko replied to him with a small smile. He moved his arm up around her shoulders and softly kissed her lips.

   "You gonna walk with me to school today, or are you going with Angie and Clingy?" he asked her. 

  "I walked with Angie and TENKO yesterday, so I'll walk with you today," Himiko replied with a chiding tone in her voice when she mentioned Tenko's name. 

  "Nee-heehee, you got it, HimiCoconut Cream Pie," Kokichi replied, booping her nose.

  When they arrived at school, Kokichi and Himiko decided to sit in the library, rather than go to the cafeteria, as they usually did, while they waited for school to start. Himiko wanted to avoid the other students in case some of them would give her hard time about what had happened the previous day. Knowing that the library was not many of the students' favorite place to be, she decided to choose that for her temporary safe haven. Kokichi had no problem accompanying  her, despite the library not being one of his favorite places in the world. They sat down in a cozy corner of the library where there were soft chairs and couches. They plopped down onto a couch; Himiko removed her boots and laid down, her head resting on a pillow in Kokichi's lap. He smiled at her as he ruffled her bangs. She smiled back at him as she felt his warm fingers brushing against her skin. Suddenly, Himiko felt her phone vibrate in the pocket of her skirt. She took it out to see who had texted her.

    "Nyeh...it's Ibuki," she told Kokichi. 

   "Oh? What did she say?" he asked.  

  "She's wondering where I am," Himiko responded, reading the text. Himiko texted Ibuki that she was in the library with Kokichi and asked Ibuki why she needed to know. There was no response. In fact, minutes later, Ibuki came rushing through the door, and ran up to Kokichi and Himiko, huffing and puffing.
