The Villainess' Boba Tea
 
By Minako Tomoka and Shyny
 
An "I'm in Love with the Villainess" Roleplay
 
 
 
  Rae Taylor had snuck off yet again to the kitchen of the academy while on break from her classes, putting together a "brand new" recipe to offer to her villainous lady love, Claire Francois. Though in truth, these seemingly "new" recipes were simply things that she recalled from her old life as a corporate drone, putting them to better use in the world of the otome game Revolution, which she currently found herself in within the body of the game's heroine. She'd scraped together quite a bit of money this way, inventing things like chocolate and mayonaise, but this time she was brewing up something special for Claire herself- boba tea, a rather tasty variety of milk tea filled with squishy black pearls of tapioca. Rae hummed to herself as she stirred the mixture in the pot, tossing in some of the boba and finding herself completely consumed with her task. She couldn't wait to have Claire try this new tea, and see that adorable, precious look on her face when she noticed how good it tasted...
 
 
  Manaria Sousse was currently visiting the academy: mostly to enjoy time with Claire, but also to tease Rae Taylor. Her feelings were as clear as day, not that she tried to hide it, and she enjoyed bothering her as a result.
 
  Finding her in the kitchen, Manaria calmly stalked up behind her, before placing her hands on Rae's shoulders to surprise her. "Oh my, another one of your unique recipes? Hoping this one will magically make Claire hopelessly fall in love with you, no doubt," she sneered, leaning over to get a look at it.
 
 
  Rae jolted at the feeling of someone sneaking up behind her, coiling their hands around her shoulders. A familiar female voice greeted her, with that teasing air Rae dreaded so much. She turned around to face the silver-haired girl, gazing directly into her red eyes. "It's no business of yours, so I don't see why you should care, Manaria. What do you even want anyway? Why don't you just leave Claire and I alone? We'd both appreciate it, at the very least."
 
  Rae reached into her pocket and curled her fingers around her wand, ready to deal with this issue and take Manaria by surprise if she was still so eager to stir up drama...
 
 
  "Aww, why the harsh tone?" Manaria asked with a smirk, lifting her hands away and up in mock surrender. "Claire enjoys my company plenty, and I have no problem with you! It's you who is sooo aggravated by me, after all. I can't imagine why. Maybe you're...worried I'll sweep Claire off her feet before you, hmm? She does seem to warm up to me better than you, but I have known her longer, after all. Why, if you really wanted her, Rae Taylor, you should make your move already. I'm getting bored watching you so...indecisive, it's quite pathetic to watch."
 
 
  Rae's hands curled into fists, and she clenched her teeth. She was growing increasingly frustrated with Manaria's schemes. She was getting so lost in anger, that even her pot of boba tea was starting to boil over. "You know what, Manaria? You're right. I've been tolerating your nonsense for long enough, I should make my move and do something about it. To be clear...I should do something about you."
 
  Without warning, Rae unsheathed her wand from her pocket, the crystal tip shining bright blue as she summoned a bubble of water to encapsulate and entrap Manaria within. "I gave you plenty of warnings to leave Claire and I alone...I guess now I have to deal with this myself. Just so you know, you brought this upon yourself, Manaria."
 
 
  Totally unexpecting and unprepared for Rae to use magic on her, Manaria was taken by surprise when she found herself trapped in a large sphere of water. Touching the barrier, she was surprised to see how solid it was, like a wet glass, but even hitting on it with a fist didn't break the membrane.
 
  Normally, it'd be effortless to disable someone's magic for her, but Manaria didn't have her wand on her person, and wasn't skilled enough to wield magic without one. Still, for all of Rae's bravado, this seemed rather...tame.
"...is this a joke? It's not very funny if so. I mean, sure, I'm stuck, but only until you stop using your magic. And it's not like you can...do much to me like this. If this is the best you could come up with, I'm honestly kind of embarrassed for you, Miss Taylor."
 
 
  "Oh no, I have much more for you," Rae retorted, unfazed by Manaria's attempt to pretend she wasn't bothered. "You see, this boba tea needs a special ingredient so Miss Claire will really love it...and luckily for me, I have exactly what I need right in front of me..."
 
  Pointing her wand at the bubble, Rae drew circles around it with the wand tip, causing the bubble to shrink around Manaria, dwindling smaller and smaller as it closed in around her...and Manaria was becoming smaller along with it. Soon enough, she'd be as small as one of the boba currently floating in the pot right now.
 
 
  Surprised by Rae's continues, harsh words, Manaria soon realised just what she had in mind, and her eyes grew huge with concern. "Wait, you mean... you're joking, right?" she asked, the realisation dawning on her and terrifying her.
 
  But no, Rae was clearly serious, as her prison shrank, and Manaria did alongside the bubble. Stuck in the watery prison, she could only watch on as Rae grew in size before her, steadily beginning to tower over her. In a panic, Manaria tried to ram into the bubble, to make it move and somehow escape. But she could barely make it budge, as all she could do was watch as the world grew around her, the oh so confident Princess being reduced to nothing but a snack...
 
  "Y-you can't do this! Claire will notice me, and when she does she'll never want to be with you for trying to kill me!"
 
 
  A smirk tugged at the edge's of Rae's lips, pleased to watch her rival in love shrinking away to the size of a boba pearl. "Hmm, are you sure about that? I don't think Miss Claire will notice you if you end up along with the rest of the bubbles...you're just another addition to the tea, after all."
 
  Once the bubble reached its final tiny size, Rae bent down and picked it up, pinching it between her fingers. She raised it to her eye and analyzed Manaria's panicked form floating within. "This is even better than I wanted...Miss Claire is going to love this!" Her attitude shifting to a much more cheerful demeanor in an instant, Rae plopped Manaria's bubble into the pot of simmering tea, where it mixed in perfectly with the rest of the boba floating in the liquid. I can't wait to see the adorable look on Claire's face when she tries this, she mused, stirring around the liquid in the pot one last time. Turning off the stove, she poured the fresh boba tea into a glass filled with ice cubes, and a large straw to complete the drink. Manaria was floating in there somewhere, but which bubble it was...well, who could tell at this point.
 
  Rae took her new drink and placed it on a tray, carrying it over to Claire's chambers to let her beloved villainess have a taste of her newest concoction...and the rival who would soon be no more...
 
 
  Reaching her final size, Manaria screamed as Rae picked her up, falling over herself pathetically, kneeling before the giant eye that was gazing on her as if she was little more than a curious looking marble.
"N-no, Rae maybe I was too hasty! Please, can't we talk about this?!" she tried to plead, even if it was a pointless endeavour at this stage.
 
  Tossed into the pot of tea, Manaria was sent crashing under the surface of the tea, bobbing along and looking identical to all the other nearby bubbles. Manaria was sent rolling over and over as Rae stirred the pot, getting increasingly dizzy and struggling not to throw up. Just when things seemed to settle, Rae poured out the drink, and Manaria was sent flying once more, her screams muffled by the watery barrier around her. She ended up buried deep below the surface, nothing but opaque liquid around her, sealing her off from even seeing where she'd ended up. But, as she felt everything moving once more, she didn't need to see, to know she was about to be served up to her beloved Claire...
 
 
  Rae presented her latest creation to Claire, who was currently sitting at her vanity, styling her elegant, flowing blonde curls. "Miss Claire! I have something new for you to try! I just cooked this up today, I think you're going to love it! It's called boba tea, it's sweet milk tea with squishy pearls in it. I know you love tea, so I think you're really going to enjoy this~"
 
  Claire stared at the glass, a little annoyed that this commoner would just barge into her room unnanounced for something so silly. It wasn't the first time Rae had used her as a taste tester to try out her new recipes, and while admittedly everything she made tasted delicious...she wasn't about to fully admit that and give the commoner an even bigger ego than she already had. "This is a rather improper way to drink tea," she noted. "Tea in a glass instead of a teacup? With ice cubes and a straw? Well, I suppose only a commoner like yourself would think up something so silly. But since you seem so eager for me to drink it, I'll humor you this time.
 
  Claire picked up the glass and sipped through the straw, feeling the cool, sweet liquid and squishy boba flow into her mouth. Hmm...it's surprisingly edible, she mused to herself, fully unaware of Manaria's current presence within her mouth...
 
 
  With all the liquid in the way, Manaria couldn't hear the conversation going on, just left waiting in excruciating silence. However, that didn't last long as she felt herself being pulled towards something above her. Looking up, she was greeted to the underside o a straw, screaming as she knew what was to follow. Forced up through the straw at a dramatic speed, she was sent flying into Claire's mouth, rolling around in the middle of her tongue, in a puddle of the sweet tea.
 
  "C-Claire! Notice me, please! Rae's gone crazy, she's trying to trick you into eating me!" Manaria shouted at the top of her lungs. Her hair was a mess, her uniform was soggy and bedraggled, and all she could do was punch the water walls around her, hoping she could somehow break free, and crawl out of Claire's mouth before she swallowed...
 
 
  The blonde-haired villainess continued sipping her tea, quite enjoying it even though she wouldn't show it in front of Rae. Claire rolled around the boba pearls in her mouth, amused at the curious squishy texture. She had never tasted anything like this before, it was quite peculiar...
 
As she bit down slightly, the boba pearls popped, including the one Manaria was sealed within. A sudden tangy sweet taste struck her tongue, which made her eyes widen in surprise. Unsure of how to handle it, she promptly swallowed, gulping down the miniature Manaria along with a mouthful of sweet, sticky milk tea. She felt a little tiny something sliding down her throat, but she assumed it was simply one of the boba pieces. After all, this seemed to be part of how it was intended to be consumed.
 
  "Hmm...I must admit, you have created quite a unique concoction, commoner," Claire confessed, her arms crossed in her typical haughty fashion. "I wasn't expecting those pearls to have such an intense flavor either. It was actually kind of...good."
 
  "Yayyyy!" Rae cheered, a beaming smile on her face at Claire's lukewarm praise. "Please, drink it all up and praise me more, Miss Claire!"
 
  Claire rolled her eyes. "Why must you always make everything uncomfortable?"
 
  But in all that bickering, Claire never realized she gulped down her "first love" alive and whole...
 
 
  Manaria's prayers were answered...almost. Claire managed to pop her prison between her teeth freeing the terrified Princess. However, the instant her body touched Claire's tongue, it seems her unique flavour stood out compared to the rest of the tea. Before she could ever hope to grab something to ground herself, she found herself flung to the back of her dearest Claire's throat. Screaming and sobbing, she was forced into the tight tunnel of pulsing flesh, guiding her downwards on a wave of milky tea...
 
  Fighting and pleading was beyond pointless, the Claire she so adored was far too strong for the tiny little Manaria, who sound herself deposited into the spacious chamber of the villainesses' stomach.
 
  Splashing around, Manaria coughed up fluid, wiping her hair aside as she swam to a nearby wall. "Claire! Please! I'm begging you to notice me before it's too late!" Manaria begged to the heavens as she slammed her fists on the stomach wall over and over with what strength she had left.
 
  ...but no response. The only recognition for her efforts was the gurgling of the uncaring gut around her, clearly preparing to work on Rae's newest drink.
 
  Tears tracked down Manaria's face, as she realised she was doomed. She collapsed against the wall, shaking with fear. All she could do was wait for the end now. She decided to sleep, for she didn't want to be awake for what was next. As she drifted away, she decided to be optimistic. At least she'd be with Claire forever, in a manner of speaking...
 
 
The End...
