"No need to be so aggressive, Kurosaki-kun." said Yankumi.

"Yeah, don't forget we have to graduate this is year…at last." reminded someone from class.

"What does it all have to do with the current situation?" asked Kurosaki slightly irritated.

I do admit that Kurosaki is one smart lad, but what is he exactly trying to do now? Is he turning on the Justice Defender Regime?

"Ho-ho, Kurosaki with such a love to claim your own rights, your way is to Advocacy."
"So are we going?" Kurosaki was impatient. He ignored all the comments that were said.

"Where? Right now?" asked Minami.

"Better not to play for time."

The next ten minutes we were already in principal's office, telling him about our fears and arguments.

"So quickly?" said the principal with the irony that wasn't common to him. "Less than an hour ago you were trying to bail out your friend, and now you're asking me to ensure your part-taking in the festival. "

"You understand, we are all busy people here." Minami tried to lighten up the mood.

"Better was, if you put the same effort in your studying as you put it is your performance." said the principal the words, that weren't common to him.

His tone was the one of a person who does not usually verbally admit some thing, but considers you being this particular thing. It is like being a guest. The owner will never admit that you are an irksome guest, and you might not be and he might to not think about you this way. Still somewhere deep in his heart, he will ask himself when you are going to bagger off home.

"You're changing so quickly the nature of your actions…" said the principal. "Well, what can I say, I can not forbid you to participate in the festival, you will show your performance, the harbor of your hard work, but you will not take part in the competition "Trip to Hot Springs."

"WHAT?" asked everybody in unison.

"But, but we were doing it for the sake of this trip."

"Yes, why would we need to participate in thus dumb festival, if it wasn't for the trip." said one of the guys.

"So this is what motivates you? I sincerely pity you, but you have done an horrible wrong thing and aside from this, have add some outside problems" While saying the last words, it seems to me that principal gave a quick peek to Sawada.

All these time Sawada was behaving like he wasn't there at all.

After the talk with the principal, we were all staying at the back yard of the school.

"I can not believe it!" Someone yelled.

"Hey, dudes let smoke. This or other way we're still punished." The other guy said, taking of a cigarette.

"Who needs this stupid performance now?" asked Minami.

"Hey! What did you call stupid? You rascal!" screamed the angry Kuma. "I've almost tore my butt, in order to input some artistic sprouts in you, you clumsy mediocrities!"

"Shirakawa is an idiot!" snapped Kurosaki.

"Well, well he had the reason. He's facing quite a trouble because of us." said the suddenly appeared Noda.

"Traitors pay dearly for their betrayals. Ran away with a girl, when we were in such a trouble! Stfu" Minami spitted in front of Noda.

"Man, what's wrong with you?" asked Noda astonished.

"Bet you spent some good time!"
