I hate this chapter, it was just a pain to write.
Next chapter will be posted very soon, I'm almost done with it.
She was well-aware of the eyes occasionally staring at her from behind, and the whispers did not elude her either. She wouldn't be surprised there was gossip within the hushed voices.
It was why Mrs. Kanzaki exhibited a calm exterior, and prayed no one would approach her to discuss what happened, she didn't need that right now.
"Hey."
Withholding a frustrated sigh, Mrs. Kanzaki looked up from the carrots she was cutting and smiled politely at Mrs. Maehara.
"Hello." She greeted, praying the woman was here to discuss the meal, and the not the events they had just witnessed. Sadly, Mrs. Kanzaki was most certain she wasn't going to get her wish.
The other woman returned the smile. "How are you holding up? You know, after the last episode."
Mrs. Kanzaki nodded. "I'm alright. It was scary, but they got saved in the end." 'Now please go away.'
Mrs. Maehara smiled. "That's good to hear. Um…" She paused, clearly hesitant.
"Yes?"
"I don't think your terrible parents."
Genuine surprise plastered itself onto Mrs. Kanzaki's visage. Curiosity followed soon after and Mrs. Kanzaki gave the woman her full attention.
"Don't listen to that woman, Akabane." She continued. "Teenage rebellion is inevitable and every parent goes through it, sadly." She added the last part in a bitter tone.
"You seem to be speaking from experience."
Mrs. Maehara sighed. "Yeah, with my oldest daughter."
"Oh."
"I was so strict with her." Mrs. Maehara said. "Like, really strict. And I guess that's why we don't have the best relationship today."
The other woman gave her a warm smile. "I'm sure you had her best interests at heart."
Mrs. Maehara nodded. "I did. I wanted to look out for her, make sure she wouldn't make any mistakes," She looked down. "But I was too harsh and it backfired."
Mrs. Kanzaki wanted to inquire about the details, but the anger and sadness residing in the other woman's eyes told her they were unpleasant memories that were best not brought up.
"I won't go into too much detail," Mrs. Maehara said. "Basically, she rebelled and started doing what your daughter did, just replace arcades with night clubs."
Mrs. Kanzaki's jaw dropped.
"We'd fight constantly." The woman continued. "But I don't regret it because when she grew up, she finally realized I just wanted what's best for her. We barely talk though."
"Oh." That was all Mrs. Kanzaki could say. It was nice to hear the girl had matured, but the cost was just too devastating. She didn't want to have that sort of relationship with Yukiko, but was this the price she and her husband would inevitably have to pay for their strict approach?
"What I'm trying to say is," The other woman turned to her. "You just wanted what's best for your daughter, and I'm sure she'll realize that when she's older, just like how mine did."
Mrs. Kanzaki smiled gratefully. She did not want a mother-daughter relationship mirroring that of the other woman, no, she needed to talk with her husband as soon as possible. The question was when?
"Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate that."
Mrs. Maehara nodded and the two went back to cooking.
Little did they know, Mrs. Akabane had been listening in on their conversation, and she wasn't happy with what she had heard.
While the women and Mr. Muramatsu, prepared the food, the men moved the desks to form a large table. It wasn't that difficult, and they were finished in a few minutes. So now, they were chatting among themselves.
Mr. Nakamura however, had his eyes trained on Mr. Kanzaki. The man was standing near a window, observing the dome outside. He hadn't spoken much since they had finished watching the last episode, and anyone could tell why.
'Should I?'
It was clear the man wasn't the talkative type, and discussing his daughter's kidnapping was understandablyout of the question, especially with a total stranger.
Hence why he wasn't going to bring it up, not immediately.
Composing himself, Mr. Nakamura walked over and stood next to the man, who had yet to notice his presence. Now at close proximity, Mr. Nakamura could see the distant look in the other man's eyes. 'Probably thinking about what happened.'
"Magic." He finally spoke, keeping his eyes on the dome. "Who would've thought it was actually real?"
Mr. Kanzaki made a noise of agreement.
"Ritsu said it's like a separate reality, right?" He asked, hoping the other man would respond with words this time.
"Yes."
Okay, so far, so good.
"So, it hasn't been that long in our world, right?"
"Correct."
Definitely not the talkative type.
Mr. Nakamura furrowed his brow, wondering how to continue their conversation –if it can be called that.
"So, what do you think of Korosensei?" he asked after sometime, hoping it will lead to his desired topic.
Mr. Kanzaki was silent for a moment before responding. "He's…a very confusing creature."
"Yeah, I know; his physiology makes no sense."
Finally, Mr. Kanzaki turned to him. "I was referring to his morality."
"Oh."
Truthfully, Mr. Nakamura wasn't entirely certain which one Mr. Kanzaki had been referring, but he had intentionally went with the physiology option should that contribute to their conversation.
Mr. Nakamura shrugged. "He seemed nice enough."
"And yet, he wanted to destroy earth." Mr. Kanzaki reminded.
"Yeah, real confusing." The other said. "But I'm sure we'll learn everything later."
No reply. Mr. Nakamura racked his brains for any more ideas. He was not letting their conversation end like this! Not when he was so close!
"I'm glad he's not the terrible monster the media made him out to be." He said. "When I first heard the news, the first thing on my mind was my daughter, Rio."
Mr. Kanzaki turned to him. "The blonde one, correct?"
"Yup." Mr. Nakamura responded. "It's dyed, though."
For some reason, that seemed to have garnered him Mr. Kanzaki's full attention. "You let her dye her hair?"
"Uh…yeah?"
The lawyer's mind went back to the image of his daughter's shocking appearance. He had never known that Yukiko had dyed her hair behind his back, but he had been aware, he certainly would have punished her severely for it.
It wasn't just the dye, the outings to the arcades, when had she done those? Had he been too preoccupied with his work to notice anything?
And those clothes, those revolting, promiscuous clothes! Where did she get them? Did she still have them? Was she still visiting arcades dressed like that? In front of boys with insidious intentions?
"You okay?"
"Hm?" He turned to Mr. Nakamura. "Yes, I am."
"Really?" The man asked. "Because you seem troubled."
The lawyer did not respond, not verbally. His only response was to stare out the window.
Mr. Nakamura sighed, this wasn't going anywhere. Why did he even bother in the first place? He didn't have to comfort him, so why do so anyway?
"Your daughter." Mr. Kanzaki suddenly spoke again. "Do you worry about her?"
Mr. Nakamura raised an eyebrow. "Um…yeah, sometimes."
"Sometimes?"
The translator shrugged. "Rio's pretty capable of taking care of herself."
"So, you trust her?"
Mr. Nakamura hummed. "Yeah, it wasn't always the case, though."
Mr. Kanzaki frowned. "How so?"
"She used to be pretty irresponsible." Mr. Nakamura clarified. "Actually, no. She used to be responsible when she was younger, but then she got into Kunugiagoka and suddenly, she just changed to whole new person."
"Why?"
Mr. Nakamura sighed. "She used to be a child prodigy when she was younger. In first grade, she would ace six-grade level exams."
Mr. Kaznaki's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Impressive."
"Yeah." The other man smiled sadly. "She was so smart, and that's why we were so lenient with her."
"Then, she got to Kunugigaoka, and like I said, she changed." He sighed. "She got in trouble; she stopped studying, she disrespected her teachers, and that's how she dropped to E Class."
"Were you angry?"
"Of course." He said. "But we were mostly disappointed, and couldn't bring ourselves to trust her after that."
"But this doesn't make any sense." Mr. Kanzaki said. "Why would she do this to herself?"
"I asked her one night." He said. "Apparently, because she was so smart and gifted, other kids would avoid her."
"They were envious?"
"Maybe. Rio told how she would watch them talk among themselves about problems they couldn't solve and would just goof off with each other." He smiled sadly. "She wanted to be a part of that. I guess she was pretty lonely."
Mr. Kanzaki frowned. 'That's her reasoning?'
No matter how you looked at it, it was just pathetic. This girl had such a bright future ahead of her and she willingly tossed it aside like it was nothing? This is was just pure idiocy!
"What was your response?"
"We talked together about it, and in the end, I told her to just do well this year, no perfect scores, no need to get back into the main building, just finish junior high." He smiled at the memory.
Mr. Kanzaki on the other hand, could not believe what he was hearing. That's it? Just do well and not care about perfect grades anymore? Was this man serious? Had any of his own children did something so irresponsible, he wouldn't have been this calm and certainly wouldn't have let them off the hook so easily.
Of course, he wouldn't voice these negative thoughts, the last thing he needed was igniting conflicts with others, especially when he was trapped here for an indefinite period.
"Let me guess, you weren't expecting that, right?" Mr. Nakamura asked with an amused smile.
"Well it's certainly surprising." The other man stated. "As you've said, you were angry and disappointed."
"True," Mr. Nakamura leaned by the wall. "But Rio regretted her actions and besides, expectations can be really annoying."
It wasn't until after the words had left his mouth that Mr. Nakamura realized what he had just said. 'Crap, now he's gonna think I'm criticizing his parenting!'
"I mean," He quickly said. "Sure, expectations can be motivating, but seeing what happened to Rio made me realize how damaging they can be."
Mr. Kanzaki was silent for a few moments, and Mr. Nakamura prayed he wouldn't think this was an indirect criticism of his parenting style. Well, Mr. Nakamura had never been a fan of strict parenting, but he wasn't the type to judge others.
"Hey, you two!"
The two men turned back to see the food had been served and everyone was seated at the table.
"You coming or what?" Mr. Okajima called.
Embarrassed, the two men went to the table and sat next to their spouses.
Everyone began eating, either silently, or while conversing with other people.
Mrs. Akabane was among the former group, much to the surprise and worry of her husband. He knew his wife well; she wasn't the type to stay quiet unless she was upset about something.
That wasn't a good sign.
"Hey." He whispered to her. "You okay?"
The woman made a noise of agreement, there was some irritation present, meaning she didn't want to talk about it.
The man sighed and went back to his meal. 'Please don't cause any trouble.'
Lunch was soon over. The women returned the tableware to the kitchen while the men moved the desks away. Once they finished clearing the classroom, they sat back in their places and watched the next episode.
The scene opened to show the Earth. Music began to play.
"First you take the Earth. Then put a bean in Tokyo."
Korosensei dropped a bean in Tokyo.
"Huh?" Mr. Okano blanched.
The rest of the parents were equally confused.
And another bean in Sichuan, China.
Leave contrails as you fly form Dubai to Hawaii
Back to Dubai over the Philippines.
And then! North-south between Hawaii and Dubai 25 degrees"
"What is this?" Mr. Takebayashi frowned.
Mrs. Yada bobbled her head. "It's pretty catchy."
Mr. Kanzaki looked like he was done with everything.
"And voila: Korosenei!" Korosensei was shown in the classroom. On the board was written: The Korosensei Drawing Song.
"Now you try!"
"Yeah, right!" The students snapped.
Mrs. Maehara groaned and shook her head. "Damn Octopus."
"Does he think they can also move at Mach 20?" Mrs. Okano rolled her eyes.
Episode 8: School Trip Time/2nd period
Karasuma was shown in a dark room with a strange man.
"Your target this time is a teacher leading students on a school trip." Karasuma said. A picture of a disguised Korosensei appeared with a bullet on it. "You may have heard that this teacher is not human. It's not that I doubt your skill…" Karasuma held up the bullet. "…but make all necessary preparations."
"Who is this guy?" Mr. Sugaya frowned.
The man took the bullet. 'The name is Red Eye. I'm an assassin—a sniper.'
"Oh, okay." Mr. Sugaya said.
"A sniper on a school trip." Mrs. Kataoka pinched the bridge of her nose. "Why?"
"Well, our kids aren't the targets, that's reassuring." Mr. Hazama said.
"Doesn't change the fact this is all messed up." Mr. Terasaka said.
The scene shifted to a train.
"Wow! With no windows, you can really feel it move!" Korosensei exclaimed.
"School Trip, Day 2: Free Time, Group 1" Was written.
"It's so open, I won't get trainsick—and 25 KPH is nice and fast." He gazed down below.
"That's his deal, windows?" Mr. Muramatsu asked.
Mrs. Okuda hummed. "He really is very confusing."
"Toldja! Mrs. Akabane said.
"Says Mr. Mach 20." Maehara remarked dryly. He and Isogai then nodded.
"True." Mr. Nakamura said.
'Almost there…The sniper spot we've chosen…is a famous stop along the Sagano Tram line…' Isogai thought.
The trains topped. 'The Hozu River Bridge.'
"We'll be making a brief stop on the bridge." The driver announced as a boat was ferried below the bridge.
"Oh, look, Korosensei!" Kurahasi pointed. "They're going downstream!"
"Let me see!" Korosensei gazed down. "Ooh!"
Kurahasi nodded to Isogai and Maehara.
'Our high sign to the sniper is the moment Korosensei leans out the window to look at the boat!' Isogai thought.
Korosensei as shown from the perspective of Red Eye.
The parents watched with anticipation.
Red Eye fired. 'I downed a target at two klicks during a sandstorm in the Middle East. Under these conditions, this'll be a lead-pipe cinch.'
Mr. Yoshida whistled. "Awesome."
"Yeah, but he's a killer." His wife reminded.
"Still."
'Well? That should've been a headshot…' He glanced from his scope. And saw that the bullet was caught by a yatsuhashi.
"He stopped it with a yatsuhashi?!" Red Eye cried in disbelief.
"Of course he did." Mr. Okano rolled his eyes while some laughed at the sniper's reaction. "This is Korosensei, the guy who makes the impossible possible."
"I'm curious how he got killed in the end." Mr. Sugino said.
"Whoops! Found a tiny bone in my Kyoto sweet. That could've been ugly!" Korosensei said as the Group 1 turned away in frustration.
'Inconceivable!' Red Eye gritted his teeth.
A flashback showing Korosensei stop the bullet in slow motion appeared. 'A high-spin rifle bullet, stopped cold by a soft and chewy yatsuhashi?' The man was stunned. 'Just how fast do I need to be?!'
"Just a bit faster than Mach 20." Mr. Nakamura commented.
The train moved again as Red Eye watched 'Now I understand the ten billion yen bounty. We've been tasked with killing one extraordinary monster.' He smirked. 'This'll be fun.'
"Yep, hella fun." Mr. Hayami rolled his eyes.
"Just ask Karma." Mr. Okano said.
"11:20 AM: Toei Uzumasa Film Park. Free Time, Group 2"
''Now begone with you. I do not care for the pointless waste of life.'' A man said to the three men before him.
The man at the center growled. "Why, you…! Go on, fellows-get him!"
The man shielded a woman and urged her to run before drawing out his sword. The men attacked, but he swiftly cut them down.
Mrs. Yada clapped her hand excitedly. "Ooh, I love these plays!"
The Kanzakis, Horibes, and Haras watched the play with interest.
Mr. Mimura had a longing look in his eyes. "Remember when I auditioned for a Samurai drama?" He whispered to his wife.
"Yes, you got the role of a background character." She said dryly.
The man scowled. "Which was ridiculous! I was a very talented!"
The woman just rolled her eyes.
"Wow!" Okajima said in awe. "Their swords are so fast this close up.''
'They move very deliberately to make it look like that,'' Korosensei said, standing next to his students among the crowd. "I happen to love this kind of swordplay. They carried on watching. "Whoa! They're coming this way!"
"Over here, sir!" Nakamura urged Korosenei to move aside before glancing up at a tower.
"Where, where?" The octopus asked.
Red Eye was up at the tower, aiming his rifle at the monster. 'The actors are leading the target around nicely-just as planned.'Korosensei was shown watching the play. 'Now, while he's distracted by the show…' He then paused. 'Eh?' Korosensei was nowhere to be found. 'where'd he go?'
"Don't tell me he…" Mr. Sugino trailed off.
Korosenei had joined the play. He even got a costume. 'Hey! What the hell is he doing?! When did he get in there with the actors?'
Mr. Sugino face palmed, smiling slightly. The others laughed.
"A Mach 20-moving octopus samurai." Mrs. Okano chuckled. "That sounds like an interesting story."
"Nah, too perverted." Mr. Hayami said.
Korosensei was suddenly back to back with the protagonist. "I shall assist. Blood-cherry blossoms are the only flowers that bloom from evil."
"He's even got the lines down pat!"
"Is there anything this guy can't do?" Mr. Chiba wondered.
"He can't resist big boobs?" Mr. Mimura said, to which some laughed.
"He can't sleep with his precious pillow." Mrs. Maehara commented as well, to which some also laughed.
Red Eye observed. "If he's in with the actors…how'm I gonna hit him?!" Korosensei kept moving around, Red Eye following him.
Red Eye gritted his teeth. 'This guy is fast.'
A flashback of Karasuma appeared. "Don't let his unconventional movements throw you."
Red Eye gripped his whistle tightly until it snapped. ''But this is too unconventional!" Group 2 watched their teacher in shock. "Next! I will kill him-I stake my name on it!''
"He's lost it." Mr. Okano said.
"2:20 PM: Five-Story Pagoda. Free Time, Group 3"
"You're late, Korosensei!" Hara told her teacher.
''Apologies.'' Korosensei bowed. "I was all caught up being the star of a samurai drama."
''Say what?!'' Muramatsu asked.
The parents laughed.
"We finished Kiyomizu Temple ages ago." Yoshida said.
"Then let's trawl Ninenzaka Street for souvenirs. "Korosensei suggested.
"As if you cared about anything but sweets." Terasaka glared.
"Duh!" Mrs. Nakamura said.
There was a sign on the door that read. "Repairs in Progress - Pardon Our Dust"
Mrs. Akabane snickered at the sign. "What kinda sign is that?"
'Good. I can draw a steady bead on him here. A straight shot form Yasaka's five-story pagoda!' The sniper was inside the building, aiming his gun at the octopus.
"It's not gonna work." Mr. Takebayashi said, watching with complete boredom.
"Korosensei, try this blotting paper."' Hara said as she stuck the paper on his face.
Koro-sensei hummed nervously, but leaned down nonetheless. "I'm a bit embarrassed for you to see what it picks up. But if I must…"
"Go on, go on." Hara continued sticking more blotting papers.
Terasaka smirked.
'As he checks his purchases at the foot of Sannenzaka, a student will distract him and…' He fired and hit Korosensei's head. 'Yes! Right in the temple!' Red Eye grinned. He checked his scope to see if Korosensei was dead. He wasn't and the bullet was stuck to his temple, at the blotting paper.
'That's not bullet-blotting paper!' He freaked out.
Everyone laughed.
"I feel like whatever sanity he had left is gone!" Mr. Sugino clutched his sides.
"Took long enough." Mr. Fuwa chuckled.
"Poor guy." Mrs. Kurahashi smiled sympathetically.
''See? I told you-look at all this mucus it picked up!" Korosensei said as he removed the blotting paper. "Enough to stop a bullet!"
Terasaka turned away, frustrated that their assassination attempt had failed.
Many averted their gazes in disgust.
"Oh, man." Mr. Yoshida covered his eyes. "Now, I can't un-see that."
"Still think he's interesting?" Mr. Okuda asked his wife.
"Yup." She replied without hesitance.
"Hmm?" His phone rang. He picked it up. "It's Nagisa's group. Hello?" He tensed. "Where are you?!"
"Wait hold up!" Mrs. Okano straightened. "All this was during the whole kidnapping in the previous episode?"
"Huh, I just realized it." Mr. Akabane said.
The Kanzakis' mood soured after realizing their daughter had gotten kidnapped off-screen. Mr. Yukimura had a similar expression.
"At least they get saved." Mrs. Isogai said, hoping to cheer them up.
"Yeah." Mrs. Kurahashi glanced at the Kanzakis.
Nagisa's father noticed Mr. Yukimura looked upset. 'Is he that Kayano girl's father?' He then thought back to the name he had mumbled in the previous episode. 'What was it again, Akane? Akie?'
Red Eye shifted into a sitting position. "What…What the hell is he? His speed and defenses are impeccable…" An image of Korosensei dodging various bullets appeared. "It's like he was made for the express purpose of being unkillable."
"Well, his name came from the word 'Unkillable'." Mr. Kataoka remarked dryly.
Red Eye's phone rang. He picked it up. "Hello? Oh, Mr. Karasuma."
"I'm afraid we're done for today." Karasuama said on the other end, much to the sniper's confusion.
"The next group you were supposed to work with, Group 4, has run into trouble with some high-schoolers. Your target is rushing to their aid." Karasuama said. Irina was next to him.
"All right, understood." Red Eye said. "I was thinking of quitting anyway."
"'Bout time!" Mr. Kimura said. "I'm surprised he lasted this long."
"I would've quit after the first attempt." Mr. Muramatsu said. "No way can win against a guy who catches bullets with a yatsuhashi."
"I wouldn't have taken the job in the first place!" Mr. Okano said.
The next scene showed Red Eye walking down the streets, his shoulders slumped. 'In the eight years I've been an assassin, not once have I not seen my target's blood in my scope. That's how I got my name.' The background turned red and he became a white silhouette. Blood splatted across a scope.
Mrs. Hazama paled.
He was leaning against a wall in a dark alleyway. 'It's kinda funny.' ''What's so red about my eye, anyway?'' He held up his hand like a scope and gazed through it.
"Here you go." A red gift was dangled in front of him.
The man gasped softly as he accepted the gift.
"A chili spice mix I bought along Sannenzaka." Korosensei said.
The siper smiled. "Oh…it's you. Thanks."
The camera moved up to show Korosensei.
"I-It's you!" Red Eye screamed. Next to him was a purple box that read: "My assassination target!"
Everyone laughed.
"Oh God!" Mrs. Okano clutched her sides.
"He did that on purpose!" Mr. Hara laughed.
"A moment of silence for his sanity." Mr. Fuwa shook his head in amusement.
"I've taken care of that pinch my students were in." Korosensei said as Red Eye slid down the wall. "And since you've been sightseeing with us all day, today, I thought I'd come pay my respects." His eyes flashed red.
Red Eye whimpered.
Mrs. Nakamura rolled her eyes. "What a troll."
"He's probably gonna groom him." Mr. Chiba said.
The scene shifted to a bowl of soup.
"So you saw all that coming and just played along?" Red Eye asked as Korosensei blow at his food.
"He did?" Mrs. Chiba sounded surprised.
"Told ya, he's such a troll." Mrs. Nakamura repeated.
"With a monster like you around, no wonder the government's bribing mouths shut." He looked up at the octopus. "So, are you going to kill me? Go on, then: Do it. I chose this line of work. I'm ready.''
"Not the best career path." Mrs. Okajima muttered.
"And hopefully, none of our kids will choose it." Mr. Kurahashi said.
Suddenly, everyone tensed when they realized that such a possibility actually seemed plausible.
Mr. Sugino let out an uneasy laugh. "Course they wouldn't, even if they spent a whole year learning assassination, right?"
"Yeah." Mr. Maehara agreed, though he sounded uncertain. "That's just ridiculous."
"Didn't Yukiko say she wanted to be a nurse?" Mrs. Kanzaki told her husband.
The man nodded. 'I still wish she'd study law.'
Korosensei kept blowing at his food.
"Eat it already!" The man snapped.
"Korosensei's Weak Point #11: Heat-Sensitive Tongue"
Mr. Takebayashi face palmed. "Are you kidding me?!"
"Why does the moon-destroying octopus have so many weaknesses anyway?" Mrs. Okano questioned.
"And why are half these weaknesses just plain ridiculous?" Mrs. Maehara shook her head.
"Confusion personified." Mrs. Akabane stated.
"Of course I'm not going to kill you." Korosensei finally said, looking up from his food and at the sniper. "You made this a most enjoyable school trip. I just wanted to thank you"
Red Eye gasped, not expecting such an answer.
'If you exclude the whole kidnapping.' Mrs. Maehara glanced worriedly at the Kanzakis.
"My students did some especially in-depth research into Kyoto in the name of finding good places to kill me." A flashback showed the students researching Kyoto. "The geography, the terrain, its highlights, history, origin…"
The parents seemed proud of their children.
Mr. Yukimura observed the flashbacks, his eyes focusing on his daughter.
"In short, they had more opportunities than usual to come to know the city's charms. Knowing the people, the place, and the mood: these things assassination has given them will brighten their lives.''
"Eh…." Mrs. Chiba was at loss for words.
"Well, it would've been nice if they had been motived by anything but assassination." Mr. Maehara said.
Korosensei said as he gave Red Eye some food. ''Here you go. So I look forward to being assassinated.''
Red Eye couldn't believe what he was hearing. You think as crazy as you look, buddy. But you know…somehow…" The man smiled. "…you're one hell of a teacher."
Mr. Nakamura shrugged. "I guess."
The scene shifted to the night sky.
"You're quitting?" Came Karasuma's voice. He was then shown with wet hair and draped in a robe.
"Ooh la la." Mrs. Akabane fanned herself.
The majority of the woman blushed and looked away, much to the shock of their husbands.
"Yeah, sorry. I'd like to do some sightseeing on my own." Red Eye was on the bridge. "As an assassin, I was still a novice. I'm gonna go around taking in all kinds of colors, not just the one." He hung up and gazed at the moon, making a scope out of his hand. "Now then…What color will I see in my scope tomorrow?"
"Anything other than red, please." Mr. Okuda said.
"Special Bonus! +5146600" flashed on the screen.
"Dammit! How the hell are you dodging those?!" Sugino asked in disbelief.
The camera showed a pair of hands moving at a rapid pace before it zoomed out to show Group 4 (Sans Karma) watching as Kanzaki continued playing.
"This is…a little embarrassing." Kanzaki said shyly.
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Kurahashi grinned.
Mr. Nakamura's eyes bulged. "She's good!"
Mrs. Akabane had her jaw dropped, her eyes sparkling. Mr. Akabane raised an eyebrow.
"Now that's a pro: Smiling so sweetly with that grip of hers." Sugino gushed.
The dirty-minded parents burst into laughter. The Suginos were torn between feeling amused and face-palming at their son's wording.
Mr. Kanzaki's eye twitched. 'What did he just say?!'
"I'm sure he didn't mean it like that." Mrs. Kanzaki assured, having read her husband's mind.
"He better not." The man growled through gritted teeth.
Okuda was impressed. "Wow! I had no idea you were this good at games, Kanzaki!"
"Good? She's a goddamn master!" Mr. Mimura clutched his head in shock.
Mr. Kanzaki frowned. 'That's not the title I wanted her to have.'
"I kept it quiet. In my family, frivolity was frowned upon. But maybe I've been too worried about what others think. Clothes, hobbies, status…I ran away from it, got swept up in it, and wound up lacking no confidence." Kayano smiled proudly at her.
'I can relate.' Mrs. Akabane thought, remembering her own past.
Mr. Kanzaki looked down when he felt his guilt resurface. He thought back to Mr. Nakamura's words, and then to the harsh words he had said to his daughter. 'Am I truly in the wrong?'
A flashback showed some of the events of today, followed by flashbacks of Kanzaki's past. "But Korosensei made me realize: You just need the person you are on the inside to face forward and do their best."
The Kanzakis listened intently and glanced at each other.
"That's it!" Mrs. Akabane suddenly stood up and pointed at the screen. "I'm adopting her!"
Everyone was silent for a solid minute.
"…What did you just say?" Mrs. Kanzaki was the first to speak.
Mrs. Akabane crossed her arms. "You heard me, from now on, she's my daughter!"
"Please tell me you're being your usual idiotic self." Mr. Kanzaki said, giving the woman a look that was between bemusement and irritation.
Mrs. Maehara snorted. "When is she not?"
"Oh, I'm being serious!" She snapped her fingers at her husband. "Get my lawyer brother on the phone and have him prepare the adoption papers."
"Assuming he'll actually pick up." The man said dryly. "Remember your last prank call?"
"It's not my fault that idiot doesn't have a sense of humor!"
"I'm curious, but I feel like it's best to not ask." Mrs. Yoshida commented, sweat dropping.
Nagisa smiled. 'Kanzaki sure has her surprising side. I wonder what she and Kayano talked about when they were kidnapped…Things seem so light between them.' He observed as Kayano observed Kanzaki play.
"Ack! They got you!" Kayano frowned.
Kanzaki just laughed.
Mrs. Kanzaki smiled. 'She looks so happy.'
Mr. Kanzaki frowned, feeling more conflicted.
The scene shifted to Takebayashi and Mimura playing ping pong.
"There!" Mimura said.
"You okay?" Isogai turned to Takebayashi.
Karasuma was going over some papers. 'Almost every sniper turned down the job after seeing its difficulty and the only one who accepted quit halfway through.'
"Well, duh." Mr. Hazama rolled his eyes.
"Why did Red Eye even accept this job?" Mr. Muramatsu wondered.
"He seemed pretty cocky." Mrs. Mimura said.
"Take that!" Mimura said.
"And Takebayashi goes down!" Isogai declared.
"Now for my next opponent…"
'So much for our sniper plans here in Kyoto.'
"C'mon, Mr Karasuma-let's play ping-pong!" Karasuma looked up at the three boys.
'I can't be imposing on their school trip any further. It's free time from here on out.' He smiled. "Sure. But I warn you: I'm good."
"So it's a normal school trip from now on." Mrs. Maehara nodded. "Good."
"This inn is a real dump, though, isn't it?'' Okajima complained as he walked Nagisa and Sugino. "Two big bedrooms, separated by sex?"
"Good!" The parents said in unison.
"The students in all the other classes get their own hotel rooms."
"Ah, it's more fun this way." Nagisa said before spotting Fuwa and Nakamura.
The two girls were peeping.
The Fuwas and Nakamuras tensed.
"Hey." The two girls turned to see the three boys. "What are you two up to?"
The camera zoomed out to show that they were in front of the Men's bath.
Many had their jaws dropped.
"Shh!" Fuwa shushed them.
"Isn't it obvious? We're peeping!" Nakamura smirked evilly.
"Peeping?!" Nagisa was horrified.
"What the hell?!" Mr. Fuwa was shocked.
'Yuzuki, why?!' Mrs. Fuwa could not take her eyes away from the screen.
"Why are they peeing?!" Hiromi was horrified.
"But that's our job!" Okajima pointed at himself.
"It's no one's job…" Nagisa said as he and Sugino grinned at the pervert.
"CORRECT!" The parents yelled.
Mrs. Okajima gritted her teeth. 'Taiga, you're so gonna get it!'
'It was nice knowing you, my son.' Mr. Okajima gulped at the sight of his angry wife.
"Can you still say that after seeing this?" She opened the door wider, revealing Korosensei's hunged robes. "Clothes hung like that mean their wearer is in the bath. You get what I'm saying?"
"Yeah…" Nagisa nodded, a serious look on his face.
Rio had a terrifying look in her eyes. "This is our chance to see what's inside Korosensei!"
The Nakamuras were at loss for words.
An image of Korosensei on a flick book appeared. Does he have a body? Or is it tentacles all the way down?" His robe was replaced by a slime body, then by a muscular one.
"What's the harm? It could help us assassinate him." She said as she and the others tip toed into the men's bath.
"This girl is insane!" Mr. Terasaka shook his head.
Mrs. Nakamura gave her husband a pointed look. The man grinned sheepishly and turned away.
"Wait, so now they're all peeping?!" Mrs. Okano was horrified.
Nagisa's father and the Suginos were embarrassed by their son's actions. Hiromi was livid, but she was trying to maintain her composure.
"This has to be the least sexy peeping ever." Okajima whispered.
"You got that right." Mr. Okajima agreed.
"Shut it." His wife said darkly.
Nakamura slowly opened the door that lead to the room Korosensei was in. She still had her evil smile on her face.
A pink Korosensei was taking a bath, scrubbing a tentacle. The bathtub seemed to be filled with bubbles.
"Is he a girl?!" The blonde snapped.
"Ah, hello, students."
The parents sighed in relief.
"Why are you taking a bubble bath?'' Sugino asked, bemused at the sight.
''We're not supposed to add anything to the water." Nagisa said. Next to him was an angry Nakamura.
"This is my mucus." Korosensei clarified.
"Eh?" The students were puzzled.
"Mucus?" Mrs. Fuwa, the Okudas and Takebayashis blanched.
A microscopic image of Korosensei's skin appeared. Blue balls that represented dirt were attached onto the skin. Floating above were bubbles. "Images are stimulated" was written on the side.
"It makes a nice lather and deep-cleans stubborn dirt."
"That body can do it all." Sugino commented.
"Interesting." Mrs. Okuda rubbed her chin.
"Seriously, what can he not do?" Mr. Chiba wondered.
Nakamura chuckled. "But you've let down your guard. We've blocked the exit. Okajima turned to her in surprise. "When you get out of that tub, you'll have to walk by us. We might not be able to kill you, but we will see you naked!" She said and pulled out an anti-sensei knife from her sleeve.
"What the hell is wrong with this girl?!" Mr. Okano's eyes bulged.
Mrs. Nakamura looked down, feeling embarrassed at her daughter's actions.
"So that's the kind of girl I'd have for a daughter, huh?" Mr. Okajima smiled. "I'd be a proud father then."
The rest of the parents gave him bewildered looks.
"There is something seriously wrong with you." The all told him.
"That won't do!" Korosensei stood up, his body covered by jellied broth.
"Jellied broth?!" Nakamura was shocked.
"Seriously?" Mr. Yada sweat dropped.
"Don't complain." Mr. Kimura said.
"Oh, dear-the water's gone cold." Korosensei laughed and jumped out of the window, leaving his students slumping I defeat.
"He got away." Nagisa said simply.
Okajima turned to the female pervert. "Well, that was a lot of pointless peeping, Nakamura."
"That should never have happened anyway!" Mrs. Hazama yelled.
"Agreed." Mr. Kanzaki muttered, unable to believe that such a girl existed. 'Good thing Yukiko isn't like her.'
Nagisa perked up slightly. "I sure learned a lot about everyone on this school trip."
"So are we." Mr. Kurahashi commented. "A lot of these kids are pretty surprising."
"Master gamer, female pervert," Mr. Muramatsu listed on his hand.
"What about Art boy?" Mr. Okano turned to him.
"Nah, we already knew he was good at art before." Mr. Sugino said.
Mr. Kurahashi frowned. "But didn't we see him doodle in one episode?"
"Anyone can doodle." Mr. Muramatsu said. "Nothing about carving stuff."
The group murmured in agreement. Meanwhile, the rest of the parents, particularly, the parents of the kids mentioned, blanched at them.
The screen showed the outside of their inn. "We couldn't get any closer to Koro-sensei's true form, though." Okajima said.
"Let's go back to the room and chat." Sugino suggested.
The next scene showed a piece of paper that read: "Favorite Girls Ranking"
The parents of the girls straightened up and had their attention at the screen.
"What's this?" Mr. Okajima smiled slyly.
The boys were sitting around together.
"Figures: Kanzaki's in the top spot." Maehara said.
"Well, no one doesn't like her." Mimura said.
Mr. Kanzaki growled lowly.
The paper had a drawing of the girl's faces next to their names.
Key Points:
"Kanzaki (4 votes): Great personality & super cute looks!
"That's um…nice?" Mrs. Kanzaki tried to calm her husband down, whose eyes were hot white from anger.
Yada (3 votes): Ponytail; big on top!
"Big on top?" Mr. Yada narrowed his eyes. 'Why those pigs!'
Mrs. Yada was disgusted; it times like these she was grateful to be flat-chested.
Kurahashi (2 votes): Calming; strikes charming poses
"Charming poses?" Mrs. Kurahashi asked warily.
Mr. Kurahashi wasn't amused in the slightest.
Kayano (2 votes): Small; cheers you up.
Mr. Yukimura smiled a little.
Kataoka (1 vote): Dependable; straight bangs"
The Kataokas laughed.
"That's our girl." Mr. Kataoka sounded proud.
"Wait, straight bangs are attractive?" Mrs. Sugino sweat dropped.
"What about you, Sugino? Real slick of you to pull her into our group." Maehara said.
Sugino placed his hands behind his back and sighed. "Y'know, with all the crap that went down, there weren't many chances for us to really talk."
Nagisa gave him a sympathetic smile.
"Yeah, you guys had it rough." Maehara said.
"Understatement." Mr. Fuwa remarked.
"It's a good thing they had Korosensei." Mr. Okano frowned when he remembered the horrifying incident.
The Kanzakis and Mr. Yukimura grimaced once they remembered the kidnapping.
"I just want to know who likes who." Mimura held the paper.
"I can't just pick one!" Okajima yelled, spiraling out of control behind them.
Many of the parents groaned.
'Why does he have to be such an embarrassment?' Mr. Okajima thought.
"I hate this kid." Mrs. Okano said. "I know he's just a kid, but I hate him."
"Same here." Mrs. Hayami said.
Mimura turned to smile at his friend. "Other than you, Okajima."
"Who do you like, Nagisa?" Maehara suddenly asked.
Nagisa tensed. "Huh? I, uh…"
Nagisa's parents eagerly awaited his answer.
Sugino smiled and turned to Maehara. "What about you, Maehara? Anyone?"
"Who, me? My lips are sealed." Maehara said cheekily, lifting up three fingers.
The Maeharas face palmed.
"Can we trade sons?" Mrs. Maehara turned to Mrs. Isogai, who giggled.
"That pisses me off!" Mimura glared at the playboy. "And when I think how popular guys like you are, it pisses me off even more!"
The Mimuras were surprised at their son's words and anger.
Karma opened the door and walked in. "Ooh, looks like fun in here."
"Karma! Greet timing!" Isogai said.
"Is there a girl you like?" Maehara asked.
"Yes." Mrs. Akabane rubbed her hands. "Tell me, who will be my future daughter-in-law."
'Not our girl.' The parents of the girls thought in unison as they awaited Karma's answer.
"Hmm…" Karma picked up the paper and looked up thoughtfully. "Okuda, maybe?"
"Huh?!" The Okudas were horrified.
"The little chemistry girl?" Mr. Yoshida blanched. "Why her?"
"No way!" Sugaya said in disbelief.
Mrs. Okuda growled. 'What's that supposed to mean?'
"Interesting choice! Why?" Maehara asked curiously.
Okuda was dressed in witch robes, chuckling evilly as she brewed a potion. "I bet she could make some sketchy drugs and chloroform—" The camera zoomed out to show a devilish, red-eyed Karma grinning mischievously as he added in a potion. "Really kick my mischief-making up a notch, y'know?"
The parents paled.
"Wha….?" The Okudas were at loss for words.
Mrs. Akabane chuckled evilly.
"That's one match that no one needs to be making." Maehara commented, a bit disturbed.
Mr. Kimura shuddered "Those two cannot get together!"
"I like this pairing!" Mrs. Akabane laughed. "The demon and his witch: A love story for the ages!"
"No!" Mrs. Okuda shook her head. "No, no, no! Keep your demon son away from my little girl!"
Mrs. Akabane smirked. "But your kid isn't innocent, sweetie."
"No!"
"But think of our poisonous grandchildren~"
"Shut it!"
"You guys these ratings are just between us, okay?" Isogai took the paper and held up a finger to his lips.
"Well, sure." Maehara said.
Mrs. Isogai sighed in disappointment.
"Even Yuma-kun, huh?" Mrs. Maehara sighed.
"Isn't he supposed to be the class representative?" Mr. Takebayashi frowned.
Mr. Okajima chuckled. "No teenage boy is safe from perversion."
"SHUT IT, PERVERT!" The parents yelled.
I mean, most of us don't want this getting out. So do not let the girls or any teacher find out ab-"
He paused once he saw a pink Korosensei peaking from the door.
"Evening, all." He pulled out a notebook called "Student Data: Boys(3)" "Mm-hmm. I see."
"What. The. Hell?" Mrs. Fuwa blanched.
The majority of the parents looked like they were just done with the octopus.
The boys remained silent and watched him slowly close the door. The silence stretched on for quite a bit, before they stood up and ran outside the room.
"He took notes and split!"
"Kill him!"
Laughter filled the room.
Korosensei chuckled. "Nabbing this data is exactly what my ultra-high speed is for!"
A note card appeared: "Korosensei Weak Point #12: Loves gossip"
"I give up." Mr. Takebayashi pinched the bridge of his nose.
"I refuse to believe this clown octopus is the one who blew up the moon." Mr. Hayami crossed his arms, and watched with irritation.
The scene cut to Kataoka. "Huh? What boys we like?"
Mrs. Akabane laughed.
Mr. Okajima smiled slyly. "Ah, so even the ladies…."
"Finish that sentence and I swear I will clobber you to the ground!" Mr. Kurahashi threatened.
The other man chuckled smugly. "But then you'll have to answer to my fearsome wife."
Mrs. Okajima stared at him blankly before turning to Mr. Kurahashi. "He's all yours."
"HEY!"
"Yeah. That's what girls talk about on trips like this. It's fun!" Nakamura said with a sly smirk.
Mrs. Akabane hummed and turned to her husband. "I like this chick; I think I'll adopt her too."
Mrs. Akabane sighed. "We already have one demon."
"So? What's another one?" She wiggled her eyebrows. "Plus a gamer demon and we'll be one big, happy family!"
"Joy."
Kurahashi enthusiastically raised her hands. "Ooh, ooh! I know: Mr Karasuma!"
Nakamura frowned. "Yeah, yeah. We all like Mr. Karasuma. I mean someone in our class."
"Huh?" Kurahashi lowered her hand and regarded the blonde with a confused look.
"Ho, ho, that Karasuma sure is popular." Mrs. Fuwa commented.
Mrs. Okano blushed. "Well, he is gorgeous."
"Huh?!" Her husband turned to her in shock.
"Not as gorgeous as you, though." The woman quickly said.
"Relax, boys." Mrs. Akabane said. "Just 'cause your wives find another man attractive doesn't mean she's suddenly gonna cheat on you."
"Really?" Mr. Hayami questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course!" The woman said. "For example." She turned to her husband. "I find this guy," She pointed at Mr. Yada "Handsome. Does this mean I'm gonna cheat on you?"
"Nope." Mr. Akabane shrugged.
Mr. Yada blushed while his wife looked glared intensely at the woman.
"See? This over here is a secure man." She wrapped an arm her husband who laughed. "And I couldn't ask for a better husband."
Mr. Okajima rubbed his chin and turned to his wife. "She's right, dear." He pointed at Mrs. Kanzaki. "I think this woman's sexy, does that mean I'm gonna cheat on you?"
Mrs. Kanzaki blushed and held her seething husband's arm.
"Would you like to tell that to her husband?" Mrs. Okajima pointed behind him.
The man yelped when he saw the murderous glare Mr. Kanzaki was giving him and hid behind his wife in fear.
"I guess Isogai and Maehara are pretty all right…" Nakamura said.
"Really? You think so?" Kataoka asked.
"Sure. Unfortunately, Maehara plays the field, so doesn't that put student council rep Isogai in the lead?"
Yada smiled and turned to Kataoka "Karma would win on good looks alone."
"Of course he would." Mrs. Akabane flipped her hair. "He got it from his mama after all."
Many groaned.
"Please die." Mrs. Maehara pinched the bridge of her nose.
Mrs. Akabane snickered at her irritation.
Okano looked up, frowning as an image of a demonic-looking Karma appeared. "If only he were better behaved."
"Yeah…" The girls agreed.
"Does that mean none of our girls get with that demon?" Mr. Hara asked.
"Hopefully." Mr. Hazama said. 'Kirara alone is a hassle, add a boyfriend like that…' He shivered.
Mrs. Okuda glared at the screen. 'Stay away from my daughter, you literal son of a bitch!'
"Hmm…He's really not that scary, though." Okuda smiled.
The Okudas jaws dropped.
The Akabanes smirked.
"M-Manami…" Mrs. Okuda's whole body twitched.
"Yeah, he's usually quiet.'' Kayano added.
"What is he, a wild animal?" Hayami said with a straight face.
"A legit question!" Mr. Okano said while others laughed.
"What about you, Kanzaki?'' Kayano turned to her friend.
Mr. Kanzaki narrowed his eyes. 'No one, it better be no one!'
Mrs. Kanzaki hummed. 'That Sugino boy is very nice.' She smiled at the mental image of her daughter with Sugino. 'They'd make a cute couple.'
''Huh? I don't really…"
Mr. Kanzaki relaxed.
"Oh, don't you?"
Kanzaki yelped as she was tackled to the ground by Kayano and then Nakamura and mercilessly tickled.
"Come on, spill it!'' Kayano said.
''The boys can't take their eyes off you! Spill it!" Nakamura said.
"I'm serious." Kanzaki said between laughs.
"Aww…" Mrs. Kurahashi gushed. "So cute!"
Hiromi smiled sadly. 'I missed out on so much fun.' She then thought to the sleepovers she would have with Nagisa when he was younger, and felt her spirits lift up a bit.
The Kanzakis smiled at their daughter's happiness
"Hey, children!" They looked up to see Irina holding cans of beer. "I'm here to tell you it's almost time for lights-out, more or less."
Mrs. Kataoka growled. "She better not let them drink beer."
"Knowing how mature this "grown-up" is…" Mrs. Kimura glared.
""More or less"?" Nakamura repeated.
"It's not like you won't stay up talking anyway. Just keep it down, all right?" She started sliding the door to close it, but then Kurahashi leaned forward with a frown on her face.
"How come you get to drink? That's mean!"
The Kurahashis blanched. 'Hinano.'
Mr. Mimura sighed dramatically. "Ah, the injustices of life."
"Minors not allowed to drink." His wife rolled her eyes. "So cruel."
"Well, I am a grown-up, after all."
"Physically speaking, yes." Mrs. Hayami commented.
''I know! Tell us some of your grown-up stories, Professor Bitch!" The ginger said.
"NO!" They all yelled, except for the Akabanes who were just watching with amusement.
"Eh?" Irina raised an eyebrow.
"They'd be much more useful than your usual classes!"
Many laughed at that.
Mrs. Kurahashi's eye twitched. "Why is our daughter interested such topics?"
Mr. Kurahashi was at loss for words. "..I…I don't know anything anymore."
"I heard that!'' Irina glared as Yada gently pushed her into the room.
"All right, all right…"
"HEH?!" The girls exclaimed.
They were gathered around their teacher.
"Professor Bitch, you're only twenty?!" Nakamura was stunned.
"HUH?!"
"Twenty?!" Mr. Yoshida's jaw dropped.
"She's bluffing!" Mr. Terasaka said. "No way can she be that young!"
Mr. Okajima rubbed his chin. "So she only five years older than my son?"
His wife shot him a glare. "And that's important because?"
The man held his hands up defensively. "I-I'm just wondering!"
"You're filthy mind better not have been wandering somewhere."
"No! Of course not!"
"How did she put up with him for so long?" Mrs. Hayami asked, observing the Okajimas.
"Probably had a ton of practice." Her husband responded.
Mrs. Mimura glanced at her own husband briefly. 'I can relate.'
"She's so experienced- I thought she was older." Kataoka said.
"We all thought that." Mr. Kataoka remarked.
"You know it makes sense." His wife said. "Given how childish she is."
"Older people can also be immature." Mrs. Fuwa said, recalling some of her troublesome patients.
"Right? And she's got that whole black-widow vibe going on." Okano added.
"Yes, the sex appeal of a black widow that only a rich life can—Who called me a black widow?!'' Irina growled.
Everyone laughed.
"A little late on the comeback there." Okano remarked.
Got that right." Mrs. Akabane snickered.
"Now listen here! Women have a short shelf life. Unlike me, you were born in a country free from danger. Be grateful, and polish your woman-ness with all your might." She ate a snack.
Mrs. Yada frowned. "Where is she originally from?"
"She seems European." Mr. Nakamura said.
"Europe's dangerous?" Mr. Sugino asked.
"Well, some countries are." The man answered. "There are tensions in the Balkans, and the World Population Review ranked Russia as the most dangerous country."
"Really?" Nagisa's father furrowed his brow. "I never knew that."
"I always thought Europe was safe." Mrs. Horibe said.
The girls looked at one another, stunned.
"Professor Bitch actually said something decent!" Okano said.
"It's the sign of the times!" Mrs. Kimura said dramatically.
Nakamura looked dubious "Feels kinda…cheeky!''
"Don't toy with me you brats!" The woman shot them a glare.
"Oh, look, she's back to normal!" Mrs. Akabane feigned cheerfulness.
"Had me worried there." Mr. Akabane chuckled.
"But, but, but…" Yada eagerly leaned towards Irina. ''Tell us about the men you seduced!''
''Yeah, I wanna know!" Kurahashi raised her had up.
The parents of the two girls looked like they had the shock of their lives.
"Are they breathing?" Mr. Fuwa asked his wife, feeling a bit worried for the two families.
"I'm…sure they're alright." She responded hesitantly.
Irina smirked and leaned back. "All right, then. But this might be a little spicy for children's tastes, so watch out."
The girls gave her their full attention, each girl's face was tainted with a light blush.
"They're all interested in this?!" Mrs. Hazama cried.
The parents of the girls were ready to pass out. Mrs. Akabane smirked and discreetly took pictures of their faces.
Even the parents of the boys were horrified.
"I'm a little interested." Hiromi whispered to her husband, who gave her an "are you serious?!" look.
She gazed around the girls. "Now, when I was seventeen…" She saw the pink octopus sitting between Hara and Kayano. "Hey, you there!"
The two girls were startled.
"Where the hell did he come from?!" Mr. Terasaka yelled.
"Why is he in the girls' room anyway?!" Mr. Hayami narrowed his eyes.
"Damn, perverted octopus." Mr. Okano glared.
"Don't just waltz into our girl talk like that!" She pointed a finger at him.
"I agree with the bitch." Mrs. Kimura said.
"Awww! Why not? I'd like to hear your love stories, too."
"I'm pretty sure some of us here wanted to as well." Mrs. Akabane smirked.
Some people, men and women, blushed and glared at her.
The woman laughed. "Don't deny it!"
"Would it kill you to shut up for a good ten minutes?" Mrs. Maehara narrowed her eyes at her.
"Eternity would be much better." Mrs. Muramatsu mumbled, trying to hide her blush.
"Easy for you to say, Korosensei." Nakamura said. "You never tell us anything about your private life."
"Yeah! Fair's fair!" Kurahashi agreed.
The octopus gasped when more girls started pointed their fingers at him.
Mr. Akabane laughed. "They're interrogating him?"
Nagisa's father could help but laugh slightly.
"Don't you have any love stories of your own?"
"You like big boobs-you must have at least had a crush on someone!"
Korosensei was silent as he surveyed the girls before quickly bolting out.
Mrs. Akabane burst out laughing again, and was instantly on the floor.
"Me when my kids asked where do babies come from." Mr. Nakamura snickered.
"So true!" Mrs. Fuwa laughed.
The girls angrily stood up.
He's gone!" Irina stood up and pulled out a knife, the girls pulling out their own knives as well. "Let's catch him, make him talk, then kill him!"
They ran outside their room.
Mr. Yada's eyes widened. "Wait, they had their knives with them the whole time?!"
"Assassination protocol, I guess?" Mr. Nakamura scratched his head.
Mrs. Kataoka sighed and rested her head on her husband's shoulder, who just rubbed her back.
"There he is!"
"Murder him!"
"Over here!"
Korosensei paused when he saw both the boys and the girls, running towards him.
Everyone was laughing at the octopus' misfortune now.
"Rats! Caught in a pincer attack!"
Both sides attacked, but Korosensei dodged.
"I guess we got our assassination after all." Karma said, watching the chaos unfold.
"Yeah." Nagisa nodded.
"Where'd you go?!"
Karasuma was shown in another room, typing on his laptop. He looked up when he noticed the door open.
"Phew! That was a close one." Korosensei said.
"What's with all the racket?"
"The students almost had be spilling the beans about my love life."
"Your love life?"
"A surprise, I know." Mr. Okano commented.
"My past is packed with tales of romance. I couldn't hope to count them on all my hands and feet."
Mrs. Hayami rolled her eyes. "Oh, please."
"Maybe he was in love with that woman?" Mrs. Yada suggested.
Mr. Yukimura's eyes bulged. 'Aguri and Korosensei?!"
Karasuma fully turned towards him now. "Is this back when you had two hands and two feet?"
Korosensei was silent.
"He was human?" Mr. Horibe asked.
"He did look different in that flashback." Mr. Kimura said.
"And he said he was born on Earth back in Episode 1." Mr. Fuwa reminded.
Mr. Nakamura frowned. "So, he was experimented on?"
The adults glanced at one another. Mr. Yukimura pressed his lips together. 'What happened at that lab while I was gone?'
Karasuma tuned away. "No, I won't go there. You probably won't talk about it, anyway."
"You're a wise man, Mr. Karasuma." Korosensei said. "Even while travelling, it's crude to ask after the number of one's appendages."
The scene shifted to the crescent moon.
"That was one fun school trip, seeing everyone in a different light and all." Kayano said as she and Nagisa gazed at the moon from the window.
"Uh-huh…" Nagisa agreed, though his voice lacked any enthusiasm.
Kayano turned to him. "What's wrong?"
Nagisa's parents frowned.
"I was just thinking…" Nagisa began. "It feels like our class trip is almost over, right? But this way of life has just begun, and we don't know if the world'll end next year or what."
"Well, it got saved." Mr. Muramatsu commented.
"But it must've been scary for those kids to think otherwise." Mrs. Yoshida said.
"Yeah…" Kayano nodded.
Flashbacks showed E Class and Korosensei together from the previous episodes. "Still, this class will be over for sure, come March."
"Yeah, it will" Kayano said.
"I want to learn about everyone, to kill Korosensei-" Nagisa said. "I want to live so that nothing's left undone."
"Okaaaay." Mrs. Okajima said warily.
Nagisa's parents shared a look.
Kayano smiled. "For now, I'd just like one more school trip, you know?"
The camera moved away to show a copy of the "School Trip Guidebook: Kunugigaoka Junior High School, Class 3-E" that was on the floor behind them.
"Yeah." Nagisa agreed. 'And so the curtain fell on our fun school trip. Tomorrow we go back to our lives at school-in our assassination classroom.'
The screen faded to black.
Mr. Sugino frowned. "Why is Nagisa-kun narrating things?"
Mr. Hazama turned to him with a raised eyebrow. "He's been doing that since the first episode."
The other man blushed in embarrassment.
"But why is he?" Mr. Hara asked. "Is this part of the whole anime thing?"
"Actually," Ritsu appeared on screen. "Nagisa-san's thought process resembles a narration."
Nagisa's father looked surprised. 'What?'
Hiromi was also surprised.
"Why?" Mr. Hara asked.
"He said it helps when writing about his day in a journal." Ritsu said.
Mr. Hazama was impressed. "He thinks of how he'll write about his day throughout the day?"
"That's some talent." Mr. Fuwa remarked, also impressed.
Hiromi frowned; she didn't even know Nagisa had a journal.
"No luck assassinating him on that school trip either, eh?"
The parents were surprised when the video resumed.
"Are you sure about this, Karasuma?"
Karasuma was standing in a dark room, in front of him were men who were either present or on a screen.
"All due to my own shortcomings." The man apologized. "I shall redouble my efforts."
"What's going on here?" Mrs. Hara frowned.
"May is almost over. The deadline draws ever nearer." One man reminded.
"If it comes to it, just fire a missile at the school, flatten the whole—" Another suggested.
"WHAT?!"
"Are they out of their minds?!" Mr. Yada shouted.
"What has this damn government come to?!" Mrs. Kimura seethed.
"Unbelievable." Mr. Kanzaki glared.
"No, the risk is too great." Someone cut him off. "Besides, he can escape any blast in an instant. Remember when we fired at him over the Pacific?"
A flashback of a man peacefully working on a min-boat was shown. Then, Korosensei slithered in at Mach 20 at was at his side with the missile, startling the man.
"He came to us later having put the fragments all back together."
"Turned out great!" Korosensei commented, obviously amused.
"Troll." Mrs. Nakamura sighed.
"Pretty funny, though." Her husband snickered.
"Then... is there really no way?" Someone asked.
"Not to worry." Someone said from the screen that read "Sound Only" "Several ally nations have gathered their technology together for research."
The parents glanced at one another, not liking what they were hearing.
The camera panned to the screen. "We'll use the fruit of their labor. Japan's Ministry of Defense has just given its consent:"
Karasuma had his jaw slightly open.
Two silhouettes appeared. "Two very special assassins…will be joining his class. Both with abilities made superhuman with science."
The parents were shocked.
"A-Assassin students?" Mrs. Hazama stuttered.
"As if things couldn't get any more messed up." Mr. Kataoka shook his head.
"Child killers." Mr. Hara paled. "This is too much!"
Others were worried.
The scene returned to the dark room. "One of them will need time to work out the kinks, but the other has been put on standby while you were away."
The camera panned to Karasuma's face. "There's a real surprise waiting for you back at school, Mr. Karasuma."
Karasuma's eyes narrowed, not liking this at all.
The episode ended.
"Uh…Ritsu?" Nagisa's father called after regaining his voice.
"Here!" The girl was on screen.
"Who are these….transfer students?"
The girl merely giggled. "Well, you already know one of them." She twirled around the screen.
"…"
"Y-You're an assassin?" Mr. Okano sweated. "Like… and actual assassin?"
"Not exactly." She responded. "I was programmed to kill only Korosensei, not humans."
The adults relaxed slightly.
Ritsu frowned. "Did you all think I would kill any of you?"
"N-No!" Mrs. Hara held up her hands, and gave the girl a reassuring, but nervous smile. "It's just…uh…"
"It's just very surprising!" Mrs. Kurahashi quickly said, a bit of sweat visible on her face. "You're just so sweet and adorable and, uh, precious!"
"Yeah!" Mr. Yoshida smiled, sweating slightly. "Who would have thought that someone like you would be an assassin? That's pretty shocking, yeah." He gave a nervous laugh.
"You're all scared of me." She said flatly, unconvinced by their words.
"Eh…" The parents back away slightly from the screen.
The digital girl sighed. "I understand your fear, but I assure you I will not harm any of you." She then gave them a bright smile. "And you'll believe me after you watch the next episode!"
She instantly played the next episode, but then paused it and appeared on screen again.
"Oh, I almost forgot." She said. "I wasn't very…pleasant at first." She smiled. "But, it all works out in the end!"
She then played the episode, and the parents watched with a mix of fear and worry.
Well? What'd you think of the conversations between The Kanzakis, Mr. Nakamura and Mrs. Maehara? Do you agree with them? What do you think of their characters so far?
