It was the first time when the whole 3D came to an agreement with me. Still I felt rather worried if it won't affect my not so good relations with Sawada. Today actually we got lucky. The math's lesson was canceled, due to the fact that Yankumi got sick. And since the rehearsal was also cancelled, because of the known reason, everybody got the opportunity to go home earlier. I walked out the school earlier than everybody else, because I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. Unfortunately, it was never to be, and my privacy was abruptly interrupted by Noda, who was running behind.
"Hey, hey Kuroda-kun, where are you going so fast? Anyway let go together." He put his arm around my shoulder.
"How is your relation with Monica developing?" I asked him, when the pause started to be quite long.
"Good, good. But actually I wanted to tell you something else. Actually thank you a lot for the opportunity your father offered all of us. By the way, your father is a cool dude. It's not the first time when he is on our side."
"Yes, but it doesn't mean that we won't have to return him the money. I don't want to be indebted to my father." I told him.
"Of course, of course! As soon as I start working in summer, I will return my part." He said." But, why are you and Shin like this? So prideful!"
"Ahh, Sawada, I think he will hate me after today. He was the only one who opposed my suggestion and everybody supported it. Our relations are already not very delightful."
"Hey Yuki-kun, who do you think Shin is? He might not look like, but believe me he is the most democratic and tolerant person I ever knew. He won't start hating someone just because someone has a different opinion. So don't worry!"
We walked a little while, when suddenly Noda stopped.
"Why did you stop?" I asked him
"Here, in this house Uchi is living. Do you think he is at home now? I doubt it. I doubt he would be hiding in such well-known place. Let go!"
"Uchiyama-kun, come out! Come out! I saw you entering this house. I won't get away till you don't come out and face me like a real man. Uchiyama!"
"What the�" I was shocked and surprised to hear the familiar voice.
"Yankumi? Wasn't she sick? Hey, let come closer." Suggested Noda and we approached to Uchi's house.
There we saw the following picture: Yankumi was staying with a mop and was knocking it.
"Yankumi!"
"Ah Noda-kun, Yuki-chan!" She turned toward us all smiling.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, can't you see by yourselves?
"Ok, but why with a mop?"
"Ahh,she looked at the mop. See Yuki-chan, if last year I could cope with them, she pointed to Noda, than this year they can fight back."
"What mean fight back? Like real fighting?" I asked astonished.
"Yeah, you should have seen how she gave us punches wherever she felt like." Noda started recalling,
"Only when you deserved it." Defended Yankumi.
"Not only. Sometimes you work your frustration on us." Noda was still insisting on his point of view.
Not like I didn't trust Yankumi, but on the off-chance I stepped aside from her. At this time Noda was trying to call someone.
"Hey, dude, you won't believe me but Yankumi is standing in front of Uchi's house, with a mop in her hands. " He turned off the phone.
"Whom did you call?" Yankumi asked, in the pauses when she was calling out for Uchi, methodically knocking the mop.
"Sawatari." answered Noda. "I snitched on you."
"You dare to tell me that?" Yankumi was maneuvering with her mop. "Uchiyama, you stinky ass, come out if you're a man!"
"Hey, Yankumi watch out your manners." Noda put her to the blush.
"Hey, you want me to use this mop on you? I am standing in front of his house since morning. I didn't eat anything, and this rascal doesn't even want to spare my attempts."
We spent the next five minutes in silence, until this very silence was disturbed by a wild running, screaming horde. The first person who ran in was a guy with a black eye.
"What's wrong with you dude?" asked Noda.
"It's, it's Kuma, and one day he will kill us. He is obsessed with this play."
"And why did he hit you?" asked Yankumi.
"He said I lack talent and my acting was not natural."
"Hey, bro, sorry, if your acting wasn't natural, why are you complaining?" Noda tried to laugh off.
"Are you kidding me?"
Other 3D finally reached the place too.
"Dude, you run so fast." said Minami breathless.
"Of course, you can not imagine how my eye hurts."
"And you ran as scalded in hope that it will be weathered?" Minami asked him.
"Where is this asshole? Tell him to come out. It is because of him. Kuma is getting angrier and crazier day by day." Somebody complained.
"Right guys!" said Yankumi."Let lure him out from there!"
"Uchi, come out! Uchi, come out!" chanted the guys.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
"Till Uchi won't come out." Answered Yankumi.
" Then, let make barbeque." suggested Noda.
"Yankumi, for God's sake strike him in the head with this mop." Yankumi was about to follow the suggestion.
"People don't get distracted. Let continue! Uchi come out! Uchi come out!"
The chanting began again.
"What are you doing here?"
We heard a voice from behind. Everybody slowly turned their heads.
"Uchiyama?"
"Yes, Uchiyama! Why are you here? You scared my mom to death. Are you wrong in head? I understand Yankumi's situation." He said looking at Yankumi with the mop." But Noda, Minami and even Kuroda( I was surprised) You are all adequate people. How could you let this happened?" Why do you break in other peoples' privacy? "
"But, but you, I saw you entering your house?" Yankumi started to defense.
Uchi rolled his eyes.
"Should I share with you news about my mother's private life?"
"Uchi, Uchi dear, what's happening?" Uchi's mother appeared on threshold. "Yamaguchi-sensei, she bowed, I am sorry, what did my Uchi do?"
Everybody greeted Uchi's mother.
"Hey, this woman is standing in front of your house since morning with a mop in her hand, and you asked whatever I didn't do anything wrong?" protested Uchi.
"And did you?"
"How could I, when I spent all day with you and Hideaki." defensed Uchi.
"Ahh, so it was just a family reunion." said Ynkumi. "Uchiyama-san I congratulate you." Yankumi immediately shook Uchiyama-san's hand. "We're sorry to cause you inconvenience."
"Yes, Uchiyama-san we're sorry!" apologized the guys.
"Ah! I hate it!" The guy with the swollen eye screamed." Why couldn't you explain it earlier? Huh? Why should we bear all this shit Kumai is giving us."
"Yeah, Uchi why don't you return to school?" Yankumi asked.
Uchi rolled his eyes.
"I am not in the mood to discuss it." Uchi made an attempt to move further, but immediately was stopped by the mop.
"Hey don't give me that shit! This asshole Kuma is maiming us day by day and you're playing hard to get. Come back to school, you rascal." The guy, who positioned himself as victim grabbed him by the shoulders." I don't care, just come back to school! Come back!" He shook him.
Suddenly we heard a loud sound, felt like an earthquake was about to start.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Seems like Kuma is coming?" answered Noda laughing. "And I can say he is angry. Hey, get your second eye ready!"
"Here you are bastards!" shouted Kuma." How did you dare to run away so cowardly? I clearly told that "smoko" time is for 5 minutes!" Kuma was about to tear off the whole 3D cast.
"Ah, don't touch! Don't touch!" The guys started to scream, fluttering their fists." Don't you dare to touch!"
