Chapter 51

The trip back home wasn't too eventful, just a six hour boat ride back from Okinawa to Tokyo before everyone eventually went their separate ways and continuing the last days of their summer vacation how they saw fit.

Nagataka was laying on the grass as a gentle breeze passed through. His hair sometimes covering his eyes as he looked up at the bright blue sky, there he saw a cloud in the shape of a human with the sun behind the head of the cloud giving off a holy look. Nagataka had a small smile as he watched the sky before he closed his eyes, moving his arms behind his head.

He listened to the wind's breeze as he then spoke up moments later. "Yes Useless?"

"N-Nagataka, the trip is over! There is no need to call me that anymore" Korosensei said as Nagataka opened his eyes and turned to face the octopus.

"I know, Erosensei"

"...Can you call me Korosensei like everyone else?"

"Fine...Cannibal"

"...There's no winning is there..." Korosensei sighed dejectedly.

"Nope~" Nagataka smiled. "What brings you here Takoyaki?"

Korosensei then held up a sign.

"Summer Festival Announcement" Nagataka read. "Tonight at seven, if you're free, we're meeting at Kunugigaoka Station!"

"Since this is the last day of summer vacation, let's have some mindless fun" Korosensei said.

"...Why the last minute notification?"

"I just thought of it today, and I told everyone from class" He said with comical tears now running down his face. "I was hurt that so many people were unable to come because of prior engagements"

"That's because you sprung it on us last minute..."

"Will you come?"

"...Yeah, I'll tag along...but please, just stop crying..."

Weakness thirty-eight, if he can't gather people, he feels worthless.

"Hey sensei, can anyone come to the festival?" He asked as the teacher that always smiled nodded.

"Of course! Going to bring a friend?"

"Something like that"

"Oh, this is going to be so fun!" Korosensei said happily, a complete change in mood from his crying earlier. "This is going to be my first festival!"

"Yeah..."

"Hm?" Korosensei turned back around. "What about you Nagataka?"

"Technically, this is my first festival as well"

"Really! Then we better make this the best festival for both of us!" Korosensei beamed with a open mouth smile.

"Right"

Korosensei then got an idea. "Do you mind if I use your phone?" The teacher asked.

"Sure, only if you help me inside"

Korosensei wrapped a tentacle around Nagataka and placed him in his wheelchair as he brought Nagataka inside with him. The walking octopus walked over to the phone and dialed a number.

"Who is this and how did you get this number?" The voice immediately said on the other side.

"Lovro, it's me!" Korosensei said.

"...Target...how did you get this number?"

"Doesn't matter" He said. "We're having a festival! Wanna come?"

"...A festival is it?" Lovro asked. "I'm grateful for an invitation from the target, but unfortunately, I'm outside of Japan due to another job at the moment"

"NYU-NAH?!" Korosensei then started crying...again. "I'll go pick you up! Karasuma-sensei also said something about a meeting, so no one is coming!"

"Stop crying!" Nagataka said in the background. "Also, some of your students are coming, so there are people coming, don't over exaggerate it!"

"Don't be absurd" Lovro said. "I'm in the middle of a job"

"I suppose there's no way around it" Korosensei sniffed. "Please feel free to come kill me during the second semester"

"Stop crying already! It's not even remotely something to be that sad about!" Nagataka said again. "It's unbefitting of a teacher!"

"That goes without saying...and listen to your student, it's unbefitting of a target"

Lovro then quickly hanged up as he heard the talking between teacher and student.

"From what Karasuma told me, that boy, it seems he was able to execute the hidden technique I taught him in actual combat without a hitch" He thought with a smile. "I guess you can find it anywhere, in any country you go to there's talent. It's a bit disappointing to leave him in Japan, though"

Lovro then turned around and was face to face with a stranger with short silver hair, amber eyes and was wearing all black clothing. As he stood in front of the hitman dealer eating either a candy bar or granola bar.

Lovro immediately jumped back as the man pointed his finger at him like a kid would pretend their finger was a gun.

"Where did he come from?! To get this close to me without me noticing his presence...this bloodlust!" Lovro then felt an enormous amount of crushing bloodlust that would paralysis or suffocate a person as the man spoke.

"From the day you are born, I am always by your side, always" He said as he began to walk away as Lovro's body fell to the ground as blood went everywhere. "Do not place fear, in the name, God of Death"

"It seems Lovro won't be joining us" Korosensei said as he hung the phone up. "He's currently outside of Japan on a job"

"He is an assassin, although retired"

Korosensensei nodded as he went outside ready to continue on his quest to get other classmates to join the festival.

"I'll see you and the other students at seven Nagataka, the night is young-"

"And full of terrors"

"Oi!"

"I'll see you there Erosensei" Nagataka said as Korosensei stepped outside who nodded with a smile before he took off into the sky.

It was now seven and the festival was in full swing.

"My, I'm so glad that more people gathered than I was expecting" The teacher said. "Sensei was thinking of committing suicide if no one came"

"Then, maybe it would've been better not to come then" Kaede said.

Nagisa looked over at Chiba and Rinka who looked down as they held a bunch of prizes.

"Chiba, Rinka, why do you guys look so down?"

"We were banned from the shooting booth" Chiba said.

"It was too easy and we got carried away" Rinka said.

Nagisa then looked over to see Karma at booth.

"I just spent five thousand yen, and all of them have been fifth place prizes or lower. From the number of string and remaining prizes, if I calculate the probability of not a single fourth place prize or better coming out..." Karma then held the book with his calculations. "Oh my, it's 0.05%, is a winning string really in there or should I call over the police officer to check it out?"

"O-Okay, fine" The man said. "I'll give you your money back, so keep quiet, kid"

"No, no, I didn't invest five thousand yen just for a refund" Karma smirked. "I want a game system~"

"Karma is pretty persistent, isn't he?" Yuzuki asked.

"He knew from the beginning that the grand prize winner wasn't in there" Taiga said as he walked past.

Meanwhile Hiroto and Yuma where scooping goldfish, but Hiroto's 'net' broke.

"You got this down pat as usual, huh, Yuma"

"There's a trick to it" Yuma said a bit happier than usual. "It's almost the same feeling as cutting something with a knife"

"Hey Yuma, why are you so...cheerful"

"Oh, it's just nice to hear my name correctly~"

Hiroto just stared with wide eyes. "Oh god! Yuma is slowly getting a name complex! Curse you Nagataka!"

"That should do it" Yuma said holding two bags full of goldfish...was there any water in there? "Our house is pretty poor, so it's great that a whole day's of food came floating up for just a one hundred yen"

"I see" Hiroto said before he finally registered what his best friend said as he had a look of horror. "EH? YOU'RE GONNA EAT THEM?!"

"Everyone's making a killing, huh" Kaede said as she too was making a killing as she and Nagisa easily pulled the prizes from the small pool.

"Yeah" Nagisa agreed. "The finer points of our assassination techniques are really being put to use, huh?"

"And Bitch-sensei is getting her fill of free alcohol at the commerce tent"

"Where's Korosensei?" He asked as she pointed at a stand.

"Over there, because Korosensei's always broke at the end of the month" They looked over to see Korosensei at multiple stands. "He's slowly branching his stands out. He's taking over the spaces of the stands that closed early because Class E taking everything from them"

"I see" Nagisa said as they watched him put up another. "Without our knowing, he was using us to earn some allowance..."

They saw Nagataka at a booth with a kid with white hair who threw a ball at a target and failed, before Nagataka got a ball and with a strong through got in in one. The man at the booth just stared at the fallen targets as Nagataka just smiled at the man forcing him to hand over the grand prize for taking down the hardest to hit target.

As soon as Nagataka grabbed the prize he immediately gave it to kid as they continued to more grander prizes.

"Ah, so that's who Nagataka was talking about" Nagisa said.

"Hm?" Kaede looked at him with a questioning gaze.

"Nagataka said he was been tutoring a kid the day before he used the remote snipers on Korosensei" Nagisa said before the two had meet the other two.

"Yo" Nagataka said as he handed the food to Noritaka who silently thanked him.

"Hey Nagataka, Nagisa just told me you were tutoring" Kaede said as Nagataka nodded.

"You could call it tutoring" He said. "This is Noritaka, don't worry if he's a bit to quiet, he's mute and deaf, but he can read lips"

"Nice to meet you Noritaka" They both said as Noritaka waved and nodded.

Nagataka then ate his dango. "You two killing it as well?" He asked as they nodded.

"How about you two?" Kaede asked as Nagataka finished his dango.

"Yep~" He said. "We've been killing it, Nori's having a little trouble with a few of them, but we're killing, right?"

Noritaka then nodded furiously with a smile. He was having a fun time.

Noritaka then poked Nagataka and pointed at another game booth...run by Korosensei.

"You want to have a go? Well guys, I'll see ya later" Nagataka said as he and Noritaka left.

As the two takas approached one of the many stands run by Korosensei, luckily whose disguise worked to fool everyone around him.

The stand also had some other people engaging in the stand's game but also talking with the questionably bad yet still deceptive Korosensei. It was Nagataka's classmates, who else will call Korosensei, Korosensei.

It was Hinano, Toka, Yukiko and Ikemegu.

"Yo" He said as they approached the booth.

"Hey, Nagataka" Hinano greeted always cheerfully as she waved.

Nagataka then brought out some money and handed it to Korosensei and gestured for Noritaka to play.

"Who's this?" Toka asked. "Your little brother?"

"Nah, I'm an only child" He said as he ruffled Noritaka's hair. "But, it's a nice thought"

"That's Noritaka, he's mute and deaf, so that misunderstand if he seemingly ignores you if he's not looking in your direction"

Nagataka then turned to Korosensei at the booth. "Make sure you are fair Erosensei" He said with a stern tone.

Everyone there was confused at Korosensei who looked at both Nagataka and Noritaka. "Eh, sensei?" Megu asked.

"Are you feeling alright?" Yukiko asked.

"I'm fine" The teacher smiled. "Just remembering old memories"

Korosensei turned to Nagataka. "Of course I will be fair" He said. "Please have fun"

Noritaka made hand signs at Nagataka. "Yes" Nagataka said. "That's my teacher"

While Noritaka was playing, the class E members talked as Nagataka stopped and gave pointers and advice to Noritaka about the better targets.

Noritaka then signed a sentence with his hands with a smile on his face after winning prizes from Korosensei...including said plush of said person? The plush was mainly Korosensei's yellow head and had tentacles around it like an octopus.

Noritaka won two of those and gave one to Nagataka.

"I'm not that good, but thanks anyway" Nagataka said.

"What did he say?" Megu asked.

Korosensei was the one that spoke. "Young Noritaka said that Naga-sensei is the best sensei he ever had"

"Naga-sensei?"

"I've been tutoring him since the day before I tried to take down the octopus with remote controlled snipers" He said without a care in a world. They were about to say something before remembering that Noritaka was deaf. "Don't worry, he can read lips, so if he's not looking he doesn't know"

"You were lucky he didn't read your lips then" Megu said. "It's supposed to be a secret"

"Yes, Nagataka" Korosensei said as he gave Noritaka a free candy apple.

"Why are there so many people that look identical to your sensei?" Noritaka signed.

"Why do so many nurse joys look the same?" Nagataka asked back.

"What's the secret?" Noritaka hand signed with a glint in his eyes, which was reflected in Nagataka's own eyes.

"Well it's about our sensei" Nagataka said.

"Oh no! Nagataka don't tell him!" Megu, Yukiko, Hinano, Toka and Korosensei thought in shock as Nagataka was about to spill the secret.

However Nagataka gained a devilish smirk similar to Rio and Karma, but worse.

"You see Nori, our teacher Erosensei is a cross-dressing cosplaying pervert" He said. "Hence the name Erosensei"

"NYUAH!" Korosensei shrieked. "Nagataka! Don't tell lies like that!"

"Phew" The four others thought. "For a second there, I thought Nagataka was really going to let it spill"

Then a terrifying image of both Nagataka and Noritaka covered in shadows appearing as silhouettes had glowing eyes giving off an menacing look while Nagataka's silhouette had a cheshire cat grin while Noritaka's didn't have one.

"Hey Nori, let's go and put of all the stands runned by my sensei's lookalikes out of business" Nagataka said as Noritaka's seemed to shine.

"No! Don't!" Korosensei pleaded but it fell on deaf ears...literally.

Naga and Nori waved to the group as they went and had more fun at the festival.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked into the sky as the fireworks began.

"It was pretty crazy, right. Our summer vacation"

"Yeah" Nagisa said as they watched the fireworks.

"But, I think the second semester's going to get even crazier" Kaede said and she had no idea how right she was going to be.

Meanwhile Karasuma was in a meeting with other members of the Ministry of Defence.

"There is no change regarding the ten billion bounty for a lone assassination" A agent of the ministry of defence said. "However, due to the summer vacation report, we have taken group tactics into consideration, and so, in the case that a group assassination is successful, there will be additional pay. An effective award increase, a total of thirty billion yen!"

"Those students really got close" One agent whispered.

"I know, it's a shame that it has a defence form though" Another one whispered.

"Yeah, and did you hear about Takaoka?" A third asked.

"I did" The first said.

"...Why do I feel something is going to happen due to this increase in bounty..."

Elsewhere nearby close to the fireworks Shiro was looking down at the new bounty. "The report from the summer vacation assassination served as a rather nice hint" Shiro said. "The ideas of young ones are rather flexible"

He then looked towards Itona who had three tentacles in the air. "It's about time to settle this, Itona" Shiro said. "Bring out the whole of your potential"

Shiro then crushed the piece of paper in his hand. "That damn sin-filled creature" He said with a tone laced with venom. "We'll put an end to his life during the September month!"

Itona's tentacles smashed down into the ground holding a large truck.

Outside of Japan, the silver haired, amber eye, God of Death was eating another granola or candy bar while looking down at the bounty.

"Hmm, an increase in bounty" He said as he folded it the piece of paper and put it in his pocket. "They're really getting desperate if they are increasing it...I guess it's about time for the God of Death to send this him to the afterlife"

Inside of Japan, as the fireworks went off, someone was looking down at the bounty as well.

"From ten billion yen to thirty billion yen" The person said as the fireworks continued. "I wonder if they are getting desperate or encouraging more assassins to cooperate...hm..."

The shadowed figure looked up at the fireworks.

"...Not yet..."

The figure turned around a corner further into the darkness.

"The time is not now, I shall wait for a better opportunity...then again, there isn't much time left..."

Elsewhere Korosensei was looking at a bag full of money and a handful of cash. "My, I earned quite a bit. Even if I deduct for essentials, I should have no problem buying snacks for September" He said as he put the money away as he looked up to see one of his students, shadowed by the night and fireworks. "Were you able to enjoy yourself as well? We will begin studies again starting tomorrow. For today, you should spread your wings and..."

The student cut off Korosensei but the words were drowned out by the fireworks.

"Eh?" Korosensei asked. "You're leaving...Class E?"

The God of Death has finally made an appearance.

A short chapter, but a nice chill one with mystery and suspense! Eh, more GoD and the increase in the bounty.

My, my, it's really getting interesting now as we dive towards the God of Death parts. Also for the God of Death, I do have a name in plan for him.
