At the morning, Ren manages to decieve Sojiro and Ritsuka, Tachibana and Mash get a place to sleep for a few nights.
After that, they join the boys at school, having an unfortune run with a ceirtain teacher...
Ritsuka, Tachibana and Mash were having breakfast in LeBlanc after Ren managed to trick Sojirou with a well tought lie.
After the man arrived, Amamiya told him that they showed at the door late at night and that he knew who they were. They showed up because they got into a fight with their parents and they got kicked out, so they asked Ren for a place to stay. Despite looking at them with bad eyes, Sojiro eventually agreed, with the catch that they also needed to help on LeBlanc from now on.
"I'm not really good at doing chores in the house, but if it get us somewhere to live, I'll do them no questions asked" - Ritsuka said while he ate a piece of cheescake - "By the way Ren, does he know about your... Peculiar cat?" - he said that last part in a whisper.
"No, he doesn't. It's supposed to be a secret" -
"And I'm not a cat!" -
"You look like a cat, you move like a cat, you act like a cat, sounds very cat-ish to me" - Tachibana said, mocking Morgana.
"Shut it!" - in a moment of no control, Morgana tried to jump at the girl but was stopped by Mash, who calmed him by petting his head.
"Lady Mash... Purrr" - Morgana said while he cuddled in her lap, all while Ren looked at him and mentally face palmed.
"That cat is going crazy over someone else. This is going to be Ann all over again" -
After finishing their breakfast, Ritsuka, Tachibana and Mash were talking about what they would do that day while Ren called Ryuji over the phone.
" 'Sup man? What's new with the 3?" -
"I lied to Sojiro, he thinks they're students of Shujin, I need 3 uniforms, 2 for girl and 1 for boy, think you can help me with that?" -
"Sure, I'll call Takamaki and we'll meet at school, don't worry" -
After hanging up, Ren got close to the 3 and told them that they would be going to school. The problem here is that they couldn't go into classes, so they would have to stay somewhere all day until they ended they came out.
On the way to Shujin, Ritsuka caught a glimpse of a girl with red hair tied in a ponytail, and got distracted for a while, resulting on him crashing into someone else.
"Hey, watch where you're going!" - the man said, obviously angry.
"Sorry, I just..." -
"Hey, leave him alone" - Ren got in front of Ritsuka and the man, who looked at him and nearly instantly recognized him.
"Ren Amamiya... Are you getting into trouble here as well?" -
"Leave him alone, that's all I'm going to say" -
With a cocky smile, the man continued walking, leaving the 3 of them confused.
"Who was him?" - Tachibana asked.
"One of Shujin's janitors. So even they are going to be like this..." -
"Ren? What's the problem?" - Mash asked, she wanted to know why would the janitor act like that to one of the students.
"Long story, I'll tell you later" -
After arriving at Shujin, they were met by Ryuji and Ann in the entrance. Ryuji himself was carrying a bag with the 3 uniforms.
"Thanks for this, how did you got them?" - Ren asked.
"We have our methods, don't question it" - Ryuji answered while he handed the uniform to the 3 - "You can use them and no one will ask twice" -
Going to the bathroom in a store that was close by, Ritsuka, Mash and Tachibana came out wearing the Shujin uniform.
"Lookin' good!" - Ann said, complementing the 3.
"It feels confortable, it's been a while since I dressed in a school uniform" - Tachibana said while she took some dust off the skirt.
"Oh? Do you remember what school you went before?" - Ryuji asked, curious as they said that they didn't remembered anything from their past.
"I... Don't, but I feel something while I use this, something nostalgic. Sorry, but at least for the moment I can't help you" - she answered.
"No problem, let's go to the school" -
They entered the school, being recieved by weird looks from the students as they were close to Ren, who had... Let's just say, a bad reputation.
"They're all looking at us weird" - Mash said while she stayed behind Ritsuka and Tachibana.
"Don't worry Mash, those looks aren't for you" - Ren answered.
Continuing walking, in the school, they stopped in front of Ren and Ann's classroom.
"Can you wait on the roof ultin we're over? We really can't get you to the classes, or it would create problems" - the boy with glasses said to the 3.
"Sure, we'll wait for you" - Ritsuka said with a smile - "But um... Can you direct us there?" -
"I'll do it. Ren, go inside, I'll catch up to you later" - the blonde girl said as she guided the 3 to the roof.
While walking and taking the chance that Ren wasn't with them, Mash decided to ask something that had her curious since what happened in the way to Shujin.
"Why do they treat Ren so bad?" -
"Why? Well, it's a bit difficult to explain, and I think it's better for him to do so" - Ann answered.
"Did he did something bad?" - Ritsuka asked.
"He may have hurted someone" - Tachibana followed.
"It's not that, it's just..." -
"Youre talking about that troublemaker? He has a criminal record, that's why no one wants him here" - a voice was heard from behind the group.
They turned around to find a man with long black unkempt hair and thick eyebrows.
"Kamoshida..." - Ann said with clear disgust to the man.
"Takamaki... Are they your friends? Never seen them before around the school" - he said while he got close to Mash and Tachibana - "But I must admit, they do look cute" -
"Sir, we don't really..." - Mash tried to say something, but was interrupted by Kamoshida.
"Hey, what do you say if you join the Volleyball team? Being trained by a profesional athlete doesn't so bad" -
"Not really interested in that, sorry not sorry" - Tachibana answered while she started to walk away.
Kamoshida tried to stop her, but before she could touch her or Mash, Ritsuka and Ann protected both of them.
"Don't you ever get close to them" - said both at the same time.
