Dear Diary,
Another peaceful day at Wakaba Nursery.
When Class E arrived, Ta-chan was in the playroom. He crawled so fast to reach Chika. Chika feel so loved right now. Chika noticed that Class E have gotten closer with the children. Shiota-san definitely is. The oldest kid here, Sakura, have opened her heart to him. Maybe too open... Chika noticed the blush on her face whenever Shiota-san talk to her.
One of the boys found a bee on the yard. It's still alive. Kurahashi-san gave it water mixed with sugar. She explained to us that when you see a fallen bee, you have to give nourishment so it can continue gathering pollen. Pollen is an essential part of nature. She went to check the nearby area to see if there's a beehive. There aren't any. Okuda-san explained to the children how honey is made. She was bombarded with more questions afterward. Innocent questions such as why is the sky blue, why dinosaurs extinct, how the flame on Charizard's tail stay lit while underwater, is it really true that girls have cooties, etc. The hardest questions was why the moon is crescent all the time. Hara-san announced it's lunch time. Good save, Hara-san! Okuda-san let out a huge sigh of relief when the children are not looking.
Chika and Ta-chan were invited to a tea party by the girls. Yada-san joined us too. It was nice.
Horibe-san brought Itona 2 today. The kids loved it.
We have chanpuru for lunch today. Muramatsu went to the mountain early this morning to harvest bitter melons. We cooked animal shaped jellies for snacks.
The reparation team have completed the first floor of the new building. Yoshida and Horibe-san were almost finished with Munakata-san's bike. Chika helped tying the ropes so the boys can pull the large lumbers. We are going to build new furniture from the leftover wood tomorrow. Chiba-san and Sugaya-san will go buy glasses and paint.
Irina-sensei's birthday is coming. What do you think Chika should get for her?
Chika is going to study now. Good night, Diary.
September XX 20XX
Dear Diary,
Today is Sunday. There are no kids to babysit or tutor today. But the construction must go on. The entire class gathered to continue the work. After they finished getting the materials needed, Sugaya-san and Chiba-san took turns to help us build the furnitures. Koro-sensei came by for the first time since we start working here. He didn't assist us but he did gave us tips. No scrapwood were wasted. After we made sure that the furnitures are safe and functional, we move on to painting them.
Koro-sensei prepared rice balls for our lunch. It was tasty.
Chika missed Ta-chan.
Chika went home today covered in paint. Chika went straight to the bathroom to get clean herself up. Toshiko-nee took Chika out for dinner. We ate Vietnamese food for the first time. Then we walk around the town for a bit. Chika asked Toshiko-nee for her opinion. You know, for Irina-sensei's gift. Irina-sensei is a very fashionable woman... Chika couldn't possibly afford the branded goods she use. Then the answer just presented itself. At the bookstore, on the very front self, lay the book 'Understanding Japanese Men'. In English.
Chika never bought a book so fast in her lfe.
Toshiko-nee looked at the book in confusion so Chika explained the situation to her. When Chika is done, Toshiko-nee praised Chika for being 'so supportive'. She wish Irina-sensei good luck for her endeavour to win Karasuma-sensei's heart. Then Toshiko-nee proceed to tell Chika that she is bisexual!
Chika have her suspicions but hearing it straight from Toshiko-nee's mouth... WOW!
Then she told Chika about her first love... A girl... Aw...
If Chika's suspicion about Yada-san is correct, Chika knew who she should refer to.
Study time. Chika will be going now. Good night, Diary.
Sugino POV
There are still some more materials to be picked up, and Sugaya work best with his own tools. Unfortunately, those tools are left at the old school building. He can't afford to leave right now. So Oichi and I volunteered to go. We are currently hiking up the mountain. Now that I think of it, this is the first time I'm alone with her. She mostly hang out with Fuwa and Hara. Oichi is kind of quiet, but her heart is in the right place. I still remember when she told us that she considered Class E as her friends. That makes me happy. I admit, there was a time when I'm uncomfortable around her. But now? Oichi have opened up in her own way. Still quiet but the change is there. We don't have a lot in common but there's nothing wrong with that. We are friends. There's always more about your friends that you learn about along the way.
"Hey, Oichi. How's it going with the kids?" I asked her.
Oichi looked at me. "They are doing well. Everyone gets along marvellously."
"You mostly take care of the baby right?" Oichi often have the baby in her arms. No one see that one coming. Hara is the most motherly one in our class, it won't be surprising. But Oichi? She keeps surprising people. If Kanzaki-san the one who takes care of the baby... Oh that would be a precious sight to behold. Kanzaki-san would make such a good mother! If we get married, she will be the mother of our future children... Her name would be Sugino Yukiko. Sugino Yukiko... That sounds lovely.
"Sugino-san!"
Eh?
TWACK
My forehead throb painfully. Too caught up with my daydreaming, I didn't notice a tree branch sticking out in front of me. I clutched the side of my head. "Is it bleeding?"
"No," Oichi shakes her head. "How are you feeling?"
"A bit dizzy," I admitted. "But otherwise I'm okay."
"We can wait here until the dizziness subside."
It's my turn to shake my head. "It's okay. Training made me tougher than this. The sooner we finished our errand, the quicker we go back."
Oichi nodded. So we resume our walk. "Were you thinking of Kanzaki-san?"
"W-What makes you say that?" I couldn't deny that but...
"You had the same look in your eyes every time you look at Kanzaki-san, or when you're thinking of her," Oichi told me. "Which is rather often."
My face heated up from embarrassment. "Sorry about that... Hehe." I scratched the back of my head.
"It's fine," Oichi said stoically.
Before I can stop myself, I ask her. "Do you have someone you like, Oichi?"
"My sister," She answered without hesitation. Huh, whoever gave her the codename 'Sister Complex' is not wrong.
"No, I mean... Do you have someone you like like?"
Oichi ponders for a moment. "I like Karasuma-sensei but I don't like like him." Yeah, Karasuma-sensei is such a cool adult. It's not surprising if even Oichi likes him. But her 'like' is different from Kurahashi's 'like' for Karasuma-sensei.
"So... You never like someone before?" I asked some more. Oichi shakes her head no.
"Can I ask you something, Sugino-san?" Well, I asked her a personal question just now so to make things even, I nodded. "Why do you like Kanzaki-san?"
I blushed at the question. I can't help it! Her question totally throw me off my guard. "Uh...," I scratched the back of my head. "Remember when I told the class that my grades went down after I didn't get into the first string?" Oichi nodded. "The shock was so great I can't concentrate on my studies. I threw myself to baseball training more but... Well, that didn't really work. I was sitting near the drinking fountains on the back... Brooding. I was surrounded by this air of negativity I guess. Then Kanzaki-san approached me. She must have saw me on her way to the Flower Arrangement Club. She asked me what's wrong. There's genuine concern in her eyes. I remember how gentle her smile at that time. How soft her voice was... She have this calming presence around her, y'know? And I just..." The memory makes my heart warm. It start to spread inside my body.
"You fell for her," Oichi finished it for me. I nodded. "You have my support, Sugino-san."
My eyes widened in shock. I quickly turned my head to her. Oichi is look back at me with a steady gaze. Oichi- Supporting me? That's- "Oh wow. I don't know what to say," Despite my confusion, I grinned. "Thanks, Oichi." She simply nodded.
We continue our way to the old school building. Karasuma-sensei is busy with Department of Defence business and Koro-sensei is currently overseas. The only one left here is Ritsu's main body. Bitch-sensei is probably here. Who knows? Sugaya's toolbox is stashed in the closet. I about to slide open the door when we heard moans.
Moans?
It sounds like Bitch-sensei.
The two of us peeked through the gaps. Bitch-sensei is sitting on Hara's seat. She is massaging her own shoulders. Ritsu's screen shows Karasuma-sensei's face.
"Oh my, your shoulders are so stiff, Irina. Let me help you...," That's... Karasuma-sensei's voice? Is Ritsu playing an audio or something?
"Oooh! Karasuma, you're so good!" Bitch-sensei giggles.
"You must be tired from teaching. How about we take some time off together?" 'Karasuma-sensei' said huskily.
Oh... Now I get it. Takebayashi likes to ask Ritsu to cosplay as a maid. It's just audio service really, but Ritsu makes it sound pretty real. And Bitch-sensei here is using the chance to ask her play Karasuma-sensei... It's kinda weird hearing your teacher- uh- roleplaying? Ritsu most likely don't get it... Bitch-sensei is pretty desperate if she resort to this. I wonder if Ritsu have Kanzaki-san's audio file...
Oichi nudged me. "Don't even think about it, Sugino-san." She whispered to me.
I blushed. "I-I wasn't gonna!"
"Who's there!" Bitch-sensei snarls angrily.
Crap!
The second floor is well on its way. Chiba-san is consulting with Ritsu and Ukai-san about the indoor playground. Chika is currently in the nursery. Ta-chan is napping. She use the opportunity to browse the internet. They have to find good ropes for the playground. Something safe for the kids to use. They will set it up themselves later on. Chika also browse companies that sell safety mats. They need to buy a large quantity for the entire second floor. Oh, and materials for rock climbing wall. There's also Wakaba Nursery's new expenses for when the second building is completed. They have make sure that the building will be sturdy, so Munakata-san don't have to worry about maintaining it. But... There's still the electricity cost, water, insurance... So many things to do... Ritsu is a tremendous help. Chika is so glad she's there to help them. Life is so much easier with Ritsu. Better than Siri indeed.
Her mind wanders to a certain accident happened yesterday. Her and Sugino-san caught Bitchirina-sensei roleplaying with Ritsu... Honestly? Chika is not sure what to call her- uh- 'game.' After scolding them, Bitchirina-sensei bribed them to secrecy. If you count french kisses as bribe that is... She and Sugino-san left the mountain in bewilderment. Yesterday was weird.
"Chika-nee?" Rin's head poked in. "Are you busy?"
Chika instinctively brought her finger to her lips. Rin covers her mouth. The little girl tip toes across the room, before climbing onto Chika's lap. "What is it, Rin?"
"Can we play with your hair again today?" The little girl asked. She's using the Puppy Eyes technique. Damn. Four more heads poked in. Eiko, Ringo, Ami and Nana. They too, give her the Puppy Eyes. How can Chika resists? If there's a tiny Toshiko-nee giving her the same look these girls are giving her right now, Chika would cave in in Mach 20 speed. And so, Chika nodded.
The girls throw up their hands on air "Yay!"
"Ssssh!"
They peered into Ta-chan's crib. Ta-chan simply roll his head to the side. They let out a sigh of relief.
Maki-san's head poked in. "Girls, what are you doing?"
"We're going to play with Chika-nee's hair!" Ringo said excitedly.
"Ssssssh!" This time more girls joined Chika. Ringo covers her mouth.
Maki-san chuckles. "Well, go on then. I'll be here with Ta-chan if you need me."
The girls pull Chika along with her, except Rin. Chika is currently carrying her. The girls led her to the porch. The boys are working hard. Chiba-san and Sugaya-san stood in front of the construction. Horibe-san is fixing the remote control for Itona 1. The little boys must have broken it. Apparently they are having a discussion. Chika sit down. Nana and Ami take off her hairpins and hairband. Her long, blue hair fell freely after everything is undone. The girls sighed in awe.
"Your hair is so long, Chika-nee. Like the princesses in story books!" Eiko giggles. "I bet you would look great in a kimono! Or a dress!"
"How shall we style your hair today?" Ami said in sing song voice. She start to brush her hair.
"Nothing too outrageous, please," Chika admitted. Styling her hair is fine, but kids tend to get overboard. She do not look forward for getting her hair cut by accident. This might sound shallow, but if there is one physical aspect of herself that she like, it's her hair. Chika takes pride on her hair. Being praised for it in the last couple of days might have helped...
Rin wiggles out from her hold. "Rin is going to find pretty flowers for Chika-nee!" She beamed at her. Chika's heart melt from the cuteness. Eiko and Ami is debating which hair clips to pick. So far the main contenders are the pink Hello Kitty one and white bunny one. Ringo have start to lace her hair together to a small braid. Chika wonder if she should ask her classmate to supervise them. Just in case. In the mean time, Chika's blue eyes follows Rin around. The little girl is picking yellow dandelions. Yellow and blue are complimentary colours. The flowers would match well with her hair.
Rin is done picking the flowers. She skipped towards them. Just then, she tripped over a rock and fell face first. Chika got up and run over to her. "Rin, are you okay?" She gently pick her up. The little girl sniffed. Chika noticed that her skirt have folded, revealing her panties.
"Hahaha! Rin is wearing chick panties!" One of the boys points. Rin's face flushed red from embarrassment.
"Hey! That's not nice!" Ami yelled at the boy. Horibe-san quickly pulled him away, not wanting to risk any bloodshed. He must have take cues from the sharp looks Chika is throwing at them.
Chika reach out to smooth over her skirt when she noticed a glint from the bushes. When she looked up, she saw a man taking pictures of them. Taking pictures of Rin's panties...
The alarm in her head goes off.
And Chika did the first thing that came into mind.
She screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The noise did more than enough to grab others' attention. Horibe-san dropped the remote controller and hurried to her side, followed by Chiba-san and Sugaya-san. Isogai-san and the others gathered on the edge, wondering what the commotion is about. "There's a pervert taking pictures of the kids!" Chika hugged Rin with one arm while the other points to the bushes. The pervert is already gone though.
It was chaos. Chika ushered the kids inside with Sugino-san's help. Kimura-san, Maehara-san, Isogai-san and Okajima quickly give chase. Sugino-san explained to the babysitter team what just happened. Chika is solely focused at Rin. The poor girl is crying. Her knee is scraped rather badly from the fall. She is clinging onto Chika's neck. Sugino-san informed Hikari-san and Maki-san when they arrived. They gasped in horror. Rin's wail got them to notice her.
"Oh, Rin-chan. Let's get your knee looked at," Hikari-san said gently. Chika handed Rin to her.
"Oichi, did you take a good look at the pervert?" Sugaya-san asked her. Behind Shiota-san, the pink haired girl listens closely.
Chika shakes her head. "His face was blocked by the camera and the bushes... But I did notice that he is wearing a hat, sunglasses and mask..." That man knew better than to risk his face be seen. It shows that this is premeditated. The pervert!
Sugaya-san eyes her warily. "It couldn't be... Could it?"
What is he- Oh
Chika's stomach churned.
Her stalker.
No.
No, no, no.
Nonononononononononono. She can't. If it's really him, she put everyone here in danger. Especially the kids. The pervert- Nononononononono. It couldn't be him. What are the odds of the same man from the other day- But it's what stalkers do, right? Following their target everywhere. But Chika don't know if that pervert is him. If her suspicion is correct... Nonononono-
Someone gently lay their hand on her shoulders. Chika looked up to see Shiota-san looking at her in worry. "Oichi-san?"
Chika about to say something when Isogai-san entered the room. "We couldn't find him. We already used free running but he's already gone." He told them grimly. "Unless he's really that fast or he knows how to cover his tracks."
That didn't bode well for everyone.
"...I'm sorry...," Chika hung her head low.
"Huh? Why are you sorry, Oichi-san?" Isogai-san asked in puzzlement. "You did a great job spotting the pedophile and alerted us."
But I should have done more... I should have captured him... But the kids' safety is first priority...
Maki-san called the police. Chika gave her statement to him. The neighbourhood will be notified about the presence of a pedophile. The mood at the daycare soured considerably afterward. The younger kids have no clue what's going on but the older kids have the same troubled look on their faces. Chika didn't put up a fuss when Hara-san and Kayano-san generously offered to put her hair back up. Shiota-san and Isogai-san keep shooting worried looks at her. Class E hung back until the last kid is picked up by their parents. Rin have her a tight hug before she left with her mother. Chika was very reluctant to let Ta-chan go... But he needs his mother more than he needs her.
Sugaya-san and Mimura-san walked her home until they reached her apartment building. Chika thanked them. She hope they can hear the sincerity in those words.
Toshiko-nee noticed that something is wrong. Of course she would notice. Chika didn't say much, knowing that it will only remind her big sister of the panty thief. She deflected the question, finished her dinner fast and retreat to her room. She need to get her mind off from this whole pedophile thing. So Chika turned to her studies. The exam date is coming closer. It serves well as a distraction. Chika need that right now. Distractions are good.
Chika is almost done with her work when Toshiko-nee knocked on her door. "Come in."
Toshiko-nee stepped inside. "Hey there, Chika-chan." She moves closer to give her a hug. "Guess what? I'll be at home all day tomorrow~" Her big sister rubbed her cheeks against hers. "I'm thinking a movie night! Or make over night! What do you think?"
"...It's school night," Chika points out.
"I know," Her sister grinned sheepishly. "But I noticed that you are so stressed lately. I get it, the exam is here. But it's not good to be this stressed." She poked Chika's cheek. "I'll order us ice cream cake. Neapolitan flavour. How about that?"
Her sister is baiting her with ice cream. How sly. And she's taken the bait.
"Okay."
Toshiko-nee planted a kiss on her cheek. "Consider it done! Now go get some eye shut, kiddo. You must never neglect your beauty sleep." She ruffled her hair.
"10 more minutes."
"All right. 10 more minutes. I'm going to check on you afterward." Toshiko-nee give her the 'I'm watching you' gesture with her two fingers before leaving. Chika waited the door to be closed before she pull out her diary.
Today's entry will be hard to write...
Come the following day, the babysitting group is watching the kids like a hawk. Chika mostly stay in the nursery. But whenever she passes a window... She would look out and narrow her eyes, hoping to catch any miscreants. Ta-chan is blissfully unaware of the threat of pedophile. He's still a baby after all. Doesn't stop Chika to plan the pedophile's funeral, or how to hide his body. Will they have to hide Koro-sensei's body after they kill him? The Department of Defence will most likely be the one to take care of that. She wonder if she should ask Karasuma-sensei about it. Or Bitchirina-sensei. Bitchirina-sensei sounds like a better choice to ask advice from for this particular dilemma.
Thankfully, the construction faces no problem today. They finally completed the second floor. The repair team will start building the playground now. Chiba-san can be seen taking measurements and directing the others. Chika approached the repair team and asked them about the ropes, safety mats and other materials for the playground. After an intense discussion, Chika filled an online form to order the materials needed. She checked in with Karasuma-sensei beforehand about it. They are using government money here.
The engineering team (Horibe-san and Yoshida) completed their work. Munakata-san's bike have levelled up!
Kayano-san and Nakamura-san teach the kids how to dance as a form of exercise. They loved it. Takebayashi-kun got roped in and tripped a few times. Chika hung in the back with Ta-chan. Hara-san sent off Mimura-san and Horibe-san to buy groceries. Yada-san and Kurahashi-san goes around the neighbourhood to ask for old books. Sugino-san goes with them in case of perverts. They returned carrying so many books. The kids would be happy. A little boy somehow escaped from their scrutiny and find himself stuck on the roof. Apparently he tried to emulate the 'awesomely cool Nee-chan and Nii-chan'. The boy promptly got rescued by Isogai-san. Disaster averted. Ikemen saves the day.
Once again, Class E hung back until the last kid left with their guardian. They cleaned up the construction site in the mean time. So many saw dust! Chika triple checked to make sure no saw dust sticking on her person. That would be hard to explain to Toshiko-nee.
Chika told Sugaya-san and Mimura-san that they don't have to walk her home today. Toshiko-nee is home so there is no need for that. And honestly? Those two looked very tired. Chika don't know how far their homes is but she can't keep doing this to them. They deserved a break from her. Those two insisted but Chika shut them down by staring intently at them. Eventually they get uncomfortable and agrees. It's not nice of her, she knows that. But Chika don't want to bother them like this. They need the energy to finish the construction. Two weeks is almost up.
She parted ways with Hara-san and Fuwa-san. They have to go to different bus stations. If only there's someone who lives near their apartment... Chika envies Shiota-san and Sugino-san, they always meet up together and go home together. She wonders if Chiba-san and Hayami-san go home together. Who knows? Maybe Chika will bump to them when those two are alone together. She walked in on their date once already. Speaking of date... She really need to turn in her gift to Bitchirina-sensei. Does Karasuma-sensei know about it? Koro-sensei surely would. He'll use the opportunity to push them together. Maybe set up something romantic... No, it will be too obvious if he does. Koro-sensei have a gaudy taste. Chika have not forgotten the gaudy pink loveseat he prepared back then. During their test of courage at the southern island. Who set up a pocky challenge in an underground cave?
If it were up to Chika... She would picture Bitchirina-sensei baiting Karasuma-sensei first. Not seducing him, mind, but subtly (or not subtly) clue him what day it is. Then, in true Karasuma-sensei fashion, he would tell her the date's number. Bitchirina-sensei will left the room dejected. Then, by the end of the day, before they go back home... Karasuma-sensei surprises her by handing her a small gift. And that's Chika getting her hopes up. If she lower her expectations... Karasuma-sensei would suddenly say something nice to Bitchirina-sensei out of the blue. Like commending her skills and commitment. He did praised her ability back then. Karasuma-sensei acknowledges her. A few piece of words can do wonders...
Chika wonders when will her OTPs step up their game. There's ChibaxHayami. Sugino-san and Kanzaki-san. Akabane-san and Okuda-san... Gaaah! Something drastic need to happen soon or she will! Chika will grab them and smushed their heads together, saying 'NOW KISS'.
That's when someone grabbed her from behind.
Her eyes widened in shock when she felt her mouth covered. She doesn't smell anything funny so chloroform can be ruled out. That person grabbed her arm. Chika stomped the assailant's foot. When his hold over her loosened, she bit his hand for good measure. Her assailant let go of her, cursing in pain. Chika quickly put some distance between them. She turned around to see her assailant clutching his foot. That person is... normal. He looked normal. Black hair, average height, so-so face... He doesn't look menacing... He's just... Your normal, average guy. Someone you wouldn't pay attention to.
He looked up to her, glaring. Chika about to turn around and make a run for it when a blur tackled the man. Someone saw them! And now they're helping her-
Wait
Chika narrows her eyes at her 'rescuer'.
It's the man who stalked her at the mall.
Another figure appeared around the corner. "Are you okay-" Chika's mouth opened slightly when she take a good look at the newcomer. Thick sunglasses, hat, mask- It's the pedophile.
NO
Chika run like she never run before.
Anywhere but here!
This is the hardest chapter I've done.
