The Wallflower Fan Fiction ❯ Notes from the road to Hell ❯ The Pretending ( Chapter 6 )

Disclaimer: I do not own The Wallflower (AKA Perfect Girl Evolution and Yamato nadeshiko shichihenge).

 

After the host club/ kidnapping thing, we thought Sunako might become lady-like, but no dice! Ranmaru had told the land-lady that Sunako was progressing well, so she showed up out of the blue with a plan to have a pary for Sunako's debut into society... next week. She has invited all kinds of hoity-toity guests from Japanese celebrities to British royalty. We are in DEEP SHIT!

Land-lady opened the ballroom so we could look around. We saw that she had to descend a grand staircase as she entered. We knew our rent-free status depended on a good show, so Takenaga bribed her with a set of banned slasher movies. She seemed to be motivated by that.

We began with reviewing basic poise and speaking. She managed to trip and roll all the way down the staircase. The guys decided they would try to expand their expertise in cosmetics, haircare and fashion; leaving me to babysit Sunako. She seemed depressed about her fall and she retreated to her room. I went to her room to check on her and she started throwing sharp things at me. I picked her up to stop her and then she hit me hard in the side and made me suck air. I puked later from that too! I tried to guilt her into working with me, but she wasn't interested. She simply locked herself in her room, and I washed my hands of her for the time being.

As the week went by, we all went about our business until we realized that Sunako had not left her room in days. We broke the lock and she was lying on her bed severely dehydrated and delirious. If you did not know better, you would have thought there was another skeleton in her room. I got blamed for her condition, of course. They said I wasn't watching her close enough and I must have spoken to her too harshly. I countered that the whole “Being bound by what an insensitive asshole says” was making her whole world-view ugly. That's all.

We scrounged around and found a lone filled rice ball for her and I shoved it in her mouth. She tried to refuse, but I told her I'd take away Hiroshi. (My favorite threat!) As she ate, we talked about how there are other people in the world and what one person says shouldn't cloud her whole life and those she deals with. I sent her to bed, as the next day was the big day.

The night of the party, Ms. Nakahara had the house filled with people from all over. I was assigned to escort Noi, Takenaga's girl, while they prepared Sunako. A bit later, the others showed up and called everyone's attention to the grand staircase. She descended gracefully and looked like the guys did it. However, she had a strange look on her face. I had no idea why, She was able to converse with some big-wigs from America. I guess the fact she watches all those cheesy American slasher films helped her English. I'll bet her aunt did not think of that! It was all good until Noi screamed. Someone had copped a feel and Sunako immediately beat him up. She came in like an avenging angel. It was something to see, though I knew it was bad news for us guys. This was in no way “Lady-like”. It kept going until the party was a total bust.

The landlady was not happy to say the least. She did give us some credit for trying and charged us half rent. The guys confessed to me that they had hypnotized her and Noi's scream snapped her out. The really bad thing was to keep her from telling her aunt what they did, we had to go ahead and give her the prize. She did behave like a lady, albeit for a short time. That night, we fell asleep to screams and wicked chuckles.
