What do you mean my cute disciples are Yanderes?
chapter-1207

(MC POV)

Unsurprisingly, Kiyomi managed to fix most, if not all, of the immediate problems that required her attention quickly, including the procuring of an additional location for our rehearsals.

We ended up using the Moruse company which was also some kind of theatre production group in the capital city and we rented several of their rooms including a small stage that we would use later for full dress rehearsals.

It was 'unfortunate' that our theatre group of this World did not have a building of our own to hold our own rehearsals since we were not based in the capital but back in my old hometown instead.

I say 'unfortunate' because this was actually one of the settings I made sure to choose so it was basically a set up by me.

Within one of those rooms right now was Kiyomi and myself, the two of us going through our lines with each other for our own roles.

I already knew the entire script and how I should perform them, but Kiyomi opted not to use her divinity to solve that problem and instead, relied only on her own acting skills and some help from her other self's memories to play her part.

It made me feel a little bad for using omniscience to do this so I asked if she would prefer it if I tried to learn my part normally.

The response Kiyomi gave me was a simple tilt of the head while proclaiming, "Eh? For Master to be able to do something like this easily… Isn't that normal?"

She really believes that it was a given that I am able to instantly memorise and act perfectly just like that huh? Then again… I suppose my real self would definitely be able to do that so she's not wrong…

Anyway, this was all a personal challenge for her in the first place so there's no need to intentionally make things harder than it already is. I just find it interesting that her idea of a perfect date was something like this.

Kiyomi only took about five minutes to read through the script before she came up to me, nodding to show that she was ready.

I then took a step towards her, following what omniscience had shown me on how to act this part out.

Grabbing her by her waist and hand, I pulled her towards me and looked her straight in the eyes, making sure to lower my voice to a baritone.

"Did you think you could walk away from me without any consequences, my sugar?"

If you ask me, we're basically doing a reenactment of Cinderella except there was no fairy godmother nor were there any evil stepmothers or even stepsiblings. And if Cinderella was not just some normal hapless girl but a cunning swindler and thief.

In this scene, the female lead had sewn her own dress to sneak into this Royal ball to try and find a rich husband to take her away from the life of poverty. In doing that, she caught my character's eye, who happens to be the heir of a dukedom, except not in the way that she wanted because her trick was seen through by him.

At first, she thought that she managed to trick the male lead into believing she was an important family's daughter and tried to seduce him, not knowing that he knew what she was trying to do from the start.

Thus my character decided to try and play along with her trick for his amusement at first and in this scene, he revealed that he knew what she was doing this entire time so she tried to escape, only to be captured by him.

I continued to deliver the rest of my lines, reaching up my hand to trace along her cheek with the back of my hand.

"Did you not whisper words of love to this noble son just moments ago? How you were attracted to the colour of my eyes and the regality of mine posture. Now here I am, my dear sugar, won't you stay a little while longer?"

At this point, Kiyomi should be pushing me away and throwing insults at me, especially since her character was more crude and straightforward than a noble lady's.

I waited as Kiyomi reached up her hands, presumably to push me away, only for them to wrap around the back of my neck before pulling me in for a kiss.

"Ahhnnn~ Master~ Yes, yes, yes~ Your eyes, your lips… Mmmm~ Your heat~ Ahhhnnn! I yearn for you so~" She moaned.

Mnn… I can honestly say that I did not see this coming…

She's even putting in her tongue as well, her tongue wrapping up my own with hers as she kissed me with fervour.

I kissed her back for a while before giving her a tap on the shoulder, causing her to come back to her senses as she pulled away from me.

"Ah… My apologies Master… I seem to have… Lost control of my reasoning since Master is so close to me… And so… So sexy…"

She whispered the last part out but I managed to hear it.

I coughed to cover up my own embarrassment, "Right… Umm… Shall we try that scene again?"

Kiyomi nodded, taking a step away from me so that we could restart it.

I did the motion of pulling her to me again, settling back to my role and delivering my lines.

"--Now here I am, my dear sugar, won't you--"

"Oh yes~ Yes! I want to be your mate, Master! Let us mate!" She blurted out, kissing me again.

This time she even started grinding her hips against me while she continued the kiss, her tongue entwining with mine.

She's really going for it huh?

The good thing was that she came back to her senses on her own and pulled away from me while looking quite sheepish.

"Sorry, Master… Umm… I got it this time, please let me try again…"

Feeling quite amused that something like this was what Kiyomi had trouble surmounting, I complied and restarted the scene again.

"--Now here I am, my dear sugar, won't you stay a little while?"

This time, Kiyomi managed to stay in character and pushed me away with a stern look on her face, "Please stop this, milord, doing something like this here is inappropriate."

"Oh? And the things you did before that were considered appropriate? This noble son had assumed we were well past that stage at this point? Were you not going to take me home to show me those marvellous silk sheets on your bed that you seemed to own?"

In an instant, Kiyomi's tails had shot forward to wrap themselves around me before pulling me towards her.

"Yes~ Let's go Master~ We can find a hotel nearby to consummate our love!" She moaned, hugging me close to her chest.

Ok… This might actually be quite a problem for her after all…

If she's already like this during our rehearsals… I don't think she'll be able to perform her part properly in the real one…

Is she actually going to fail this challenge because of this?
