Here's a new chapter. Comment if you like (also if you dislike actually). To Anonymous: thank you for keeping following the story :). About the title is a wordplay with the fact that Moe in Japanese can be written as bud or sprout (or so I found in a book, unluckily I don't speak japanese)
"Makimura-san, are you in?" Isogai tried to ask in front of the closed door.
There were some moments of silence followed by the noise of feet moving on the floor. Then the door opened and a girl appeared. She had fair skin and dark hair which was short and irregularly cut. Her face was delicate and heart-shaped with grey eyes. Enormous eyes. She also had a silver earring on her left ear.
"Here are some old faces. How are all you guys doing?" Moe asked. A friendly smile on her face.
"We're fine, Makimura-san. We came to have you join our class" Okuda answered. Her voice did not tremble showing determination.
Moe looked the other girl in the eyes without changing expression, then commented perfectly calm: "You seem different, Okuda-san". The little glass-girl blushed lightly. "Still, I'm not joining your assassination mission. I thought I was clear with that woman"
"Please, wait Makimura-san- Kataoka jumped into the conversation -If you don't want you don't have to help in the assassination, but at least consider attending classes"
Moe put a part of her asymmetric bangs behind a ear before saying: "You won't let me alone easily, right?"
"All we want is to make you understand that you're welcome in our class and that school can actually be fun" Isogai said.
Moe did not answer immediately, but spent few seconds calculating them.
"A bet" she finally said.
The group looked confused.
"Let's make a bet. You have to take care of all my plants before dinner time, if you can, then I'll try coming to school. However, if you fail you'll leave me alone until the end of the world, ok?"
"So, all we have to do is to water some plants and you'll come to school?" Kayano asked.
"I said take care which is more then just watering them. So, what do you say?"
The six kids looked to each other both perplexed and suspicious.
"That's fine" Kataoka accepted finally.
"Please, come in, then"
Nagisa's point of view
When we entered Makimura-san's house, we understood we made a great mistake.
