Chapter 13: Summer, swimming and drowning time!

Summer—the season of a long holiday, but it's also the hottest season ever that makes you want to stay home with an air conditioner or go to the pool to cool yourself down. Right now, the E Class students followed their yellow octopus teacher as they hiked through the mountain with their swimsuits under their jersey jackets.

"So hot… Why's he got us out here on the back of the mountain?" Sugino asked.

"If he's looking for a pool, there's one at the main campus, but that's not in this direction, is it?" said Ritsu from Nagisa's phone.

"Yeah… But with the distance between our building and the main campus pool, we'll get dehydrated before we even reach it," Nagisa replied.

"Nagisa-chan," Karma called when he got next to her. "I hear you really did a number the other day. I wish I could've seen that. But it seems it's not my lucky day. If I stayed behind, I would've seen that assassination of yours," he said, slinging his arm around Nagisa's shoulders.

"Well, it's all because you skip classes that seem like they'll be a pain, Karma-kun," Kayano said from behind them.

"Aww… But I didn't like that fat-ass at all. I invited Nagisa-chan to skip with me, but she refused me," Karma replied.

"Because it felt weird to be skipping class. And you didn't need to stay behind, Karma-kun. It wasn't worth it," Nagisa replied. "That might've worked against a human but not against our teacher."

"Even though it was like that, I still wanted to see it. Because you were involved," Karma said, getting closer to Nagisa.

"Ohh~~ What's this? You guys are already flirting first thing in the morning?" teased Kayano.

Nagisa blushed. "We're not flirting!"

Karma snickered.

Suddenly, Koro-sensei stopped walking and turned around to see them. "Nurufufufufu. Now we're here," he said.

The students looked at their teacher, confused. Then beyond the bush in front of them, they saw a pool with natural scenery surrounding it. They couldn't believe it. Their teacher changed a small stream behind the mountain into a dam-styled pool, complete with pool equipment too!

"A pool I made just for the E Class!" Koro-sensei said.

The E Class students' faces brightened. They cheered then took off their jerseys and jumped in.

'Because he does things like this for us, it's going to be hard to bring ourselves to kill our teacher!' Nagisa thought, jumping into the water.

They went about with pool activities like swimming races, playing ball, or maybe even peeping like Okajima did.

"Nagisa… You're… bigger than we thought!" Nakamura said.

"Eh?!" Nagisa was shocked.

"Nakamura's right!" Okano said.

The two of them neared Nagisa.

"Oh, come on, Nagisa~~ Don't be afraid," Nakamura said with a smirk.

Nagisa stepped away from them.

Meanwhile, Koro-sensei sat on a pool guard chair, watching everything that happened in and around the pool. He'd blow his whistle if someone did anything that violated pool rules. The E Class found it annoying.

'S-so fussy…' they thought.

Koro-sensei's Weak Point #22: Super strict about pool rules.

"I guess when you make a pool you start feeling like the high ruler of it all," Nakamura said.

"Yeah… It sorta puts a damper on all our gratitude," continued Kimura.

Kurahashi told Koro-sensei to stop being a stick in the mud and splashed water at him, but he responded in the most unexpected way ever.

"KYAA!" Koro-sensei screamed like a woman.

The whole class looked at Koro-sensei, sweat-dropping at him.

"Eh…? What was that scream?" asked Nakamura.

Karma swam over to Koro-sensei then shook his chair.

"Karma-kun, stop that! I'll fall in!" screamed Koro-sensei.

The E Class students realized something from this.

"Koro-sensei…" Isogai said. "Don't tell me he…"

Koro-sensei turned sweaty. He panicked. "Oh, it's not like I can't swim. I just don't feel like it. And it's not like my tentacles get all swollen so I can't move or anything," he said in a sing-song voice, looking to the other side.

'He can't swim!' thought Nagisa, her eyes widening.

Koro-sensei's Weak Point #23: Can't swim.

Nagisa realized something. 'This might be his most promising weak point yet! I think we could do a big assassination plan with this!' she thought.

Suddenly, Kayano accidentally let go of her pool tube and sunk. She was too short to reach the bottom of the pool, which made her drown. Koro-sensei panicked and told Kayano to grab his fugashi from the pool side. Sugaya immediately tried to save Kayano. However, Kataoka had already jumped into the pool and reached Kayano first. She brought Kayano up so her head was above the water and swam slowly with her to the shallow part of the pool. The other students looked at Kataoka in awe.

"I'm saved… Thanks, Kataoka-san!" Kayano said.

"If we're in the water, this just might be my turn to shine," Kataoka said, winking at her classmate.


During Lunch break, the E Class, minus Terasaka, Muramatsu, and Yoshida, were discussing an assassination plan utilizing Koro-sensei's new biggest weakness, which was water. They decided to do this around summer. At one point, they'd pull Koro-sensei underwater to slow his movement then the students laying underwater would strike.

"So… who'll be the one to strike underwater?" asked Takebayashi.

"I'll be underwater so just leave that part to me," Kataoka replied. She showed them her hair clip. "With an anti-sensei knife built into my clip, I'll be ready to go anytime."

"Ohh~~ So basically, it's time for Kataoka Megu, the swimming team's second year representative for the crawl stroke last year, to have a turn," Maehara said.

"That was a long time ago, Maehara," she said, putting her clip back in her hair. "The most important thing right now is getting Koro-sensei near the water without arousing suspicion. We've got the entire summer so let's keep an eye out for our chance!"

The class cheered.

'Kataoka-san is reliable. She made the whole class go through with this plan without a doubt. That's why she has the nickname 'Ikemegu' here and on the main campus,' thought Nagisa.

"What are you thinking, Nagisa-chan? Don't tell me you've fallen for 'Ikemegu'~~," Karma said with a smirk from beside Nagisa.

"I have not!" replied Nagisa. "I just hope this plan succeeds."

"Hope so," said Karma, putting his hands in his pockets.

Meanwhile, from behind a tree not too far from where they were, Terasaka, Muramatsu, and Yoshida listened to their plans then left.


After school, Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai stayed behind to watch Kataoka's swim practice.

"Oh, Nagisa-chan, where's Karma? It's rare to not see you guys together," Isogai asked.

Kayano nodded her head.

Nagisa blinked at the question then turned to look at the two. "Hm? He had business at him so he went home early. Besides, we're not together that often," she replied.

'Is it because he's always around her that she doesn't realize how often he's with her wherever she goes?!' Kayano thought.

Isogai sweat-dropped at the bluenette.

They watched Kataoka practice again.

"You know, when she jumped in and saved me before, she was so cool that I might have fallen for her," said Kayano with a blush.

'That's one of a forbidden crush you have, Kayano-chan!' Nagisa and Isogai thought, shocked.

'But I wonder why such a capable person like Kataoka-san was dropped into E Class,' Nagisa thought.

"She certainly is cool," Koro-sensei suddenly said from beside them.

"K-Koro-sensei!" Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai were all shocked.

"I don't know what she's been entrusted with, though," continued Koro-sensei with a glint in his eyes.

'We can't let him find out that we aim to kill him in the water! I have to change the subject!' Nagisa thought. Then she suddenly remember something. "Ne… Koro-sensei, you sent a fan letter to Tade Haruko, that actress with a huge chest, didn't you?" she said.

Koro-sensei began panicking and sweating. "Nyuaa! How do you know about that?! Don't tell me you read all those?!" he said, shocked.

Kayano and Isogai blinked at this. They were shocked. 'He really did that?!' They sweat-dropped at their teacher.

An evil smile surfaced on Nagisa's face, much like Karma's when he had an evil plan.

'How can she be like a second Karma-kun?!' Koro-sensei thought, sweating more.

"I caught sight of it on your desk. You sure spend a lot of time thinking and rewriting, huh?" Nagisa said. "Writing things like, 'when I look at you, it really perks up my tentacles…'" A dark glint came into Nagisa's eyes. "Normally if she saw that it'd be sexual harassment, you know? I wonder what would happen if someone found out a teacher sent it~"

Koro-sensei covered his blushing face with his tentacles after hearing her words.

"Nagisa-chan, you can stop already. He's utterly mortified," Kayano said.

Isogai and Kayano both sweat-dropped at the bluenette. 'She's been with Karma so long she's been affected by his evil side!'

Meanwhile, on Karma's side…

Today, Karma went home early because of a certain someone from Kyoto who suddenly had an urge to play shogi with him. So there he is, now playing shogi at the house of a person that had the same red hair as him and red and gold heterochromatic eyes, named Akashi Seijuurou.

"Hachoo!" Karma sneezed.

The other redhead across from him raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm… It seems like someone's talking about me," Karma murmured. A horn and trial seemed to come out of his figure.

"Karma, what are you doing, loosing focus in the middle of a game? Or did you already choose to surrender yourself?" Akashi said with a smirk, moving a piece on the board.

"Shut up, scissor psycho chibi. No way in hell would I ever surrender to you, the reincarnation of Satan itself," Karma replied, with a similar smirk on his face. He moved his piece, as well.

"Saying I'm the reincarnation of the devil, I've gotten that quite a lot," Akashi, his smirk still plastered on his face. Suddenly a deadly aura came from him. "And I'm not a chibi."

"Say that to yourself, Akashi. You're already in high school, but I'm a middle school student and still taller than you," Karma said. "If it's not a chibi, then what?" His smirk widened.

Akashi's eyebrow twitched elegantly. "I'll slaughter you. My words are absolute," he said with murderous intent.

"I'm waiting for that~~" Karma replied, playfully.

They continued their game.

Back to the pool, Kayano and Isogai suddenly felt a chill. Why do I have suddenly have a bad feeling…?' they thought.

They heard from Ritsu that Kataoka got an email form someone named Tagawa Kokona. Isogai, who heard the name, looked at Kataoka's gloomy face.

Ritsu read the content of the email since Kataoka requested it. The email said that Tagawa wanted to meet up with Kataoka at the family restaurant in front of Torima Station to help her with some school stuff.

Kataoka was silent after hearing the content.

"It seems she has a somewhat low IQ," Ritsu said.

"Hey, now…" said Kayano, sweat-dropping at her AI friend's blunt comment.

"Alright, reply back with: I'll be right over d(^_^d)" said Kataoka, getting out of the pool.

"Understood," Ritsu replied, doing as Kataoka said.

When she finished, she grabbed her things then turned to leave.

Isogai stood in front of her. "Do you really have to do this every time?" he asked.

"You already know the answer, Isogai," she replied.

Isogai let out a long sigh. "It's not your fault, you know."

"You don't have to worry," Kataoka said, smiling at him.

The two of them just stood there, looking each other straight in the eyes. On the other side, Koro-sensei, Kayano, and Nagisa observed the situation in silence.

Kataoka walked away from Isogai. She said goodbye to Nagisa and Kayano before leaving the pool area.

"I wonder why she made such a gloomy face if she's gonna meet up with a friend," Nagisa said, looking at Kataoka's back.

"Do you know something about this, Isogai-kun?" Kayano asked curiously.

Isogai stayed silent before saying, "It's… not my place to say… I think if you want to know, you should ask her yourself."

"Then… how about we go take a peek at the situation. I'm especially worried because she's such a level-headed person," Koro-sensei said, drawing the other three's attention to him. "Those who people rely on… tend to keep their own hardships to themselves."


So… Koro-sensei, Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai spied on Kataoka as she met with her friend in a family restaurant. They watched her from a neighboring seat. Kataoka's friend was from the main campus. She had black hair done in high twin-tails like Nagisa's (but Nagisa's looked better, of course), and she had a pair of brown eyes.

"Why did a student from the main campus ask someone from E Class for tutoring?" Kayano whispered.

"Dunno, but that's really weird," replied Nagisa.

Isogai was silent.

The conversation caught their attention.

"Say, Kokona… right now, there's something that I want to do," Kataoka said. "We're not in the same class anymore so you calling me out all the time is, well…"

"What do you mean?" I'm relying on you, and yet you're telling me not to call you anymore?" Kataoka's friend said with fake dejection and puppy eyes.

"No, that's not what I'm saying—"

"How cruel." She stood up and neared her face to Kataoka's. "And you were the one who nearly killed me, too," Tagawa said with a hateful voice and gaze.

Kataoka didn't say anything and kept calm. Meanwhile, the spying team was shocked.

'What did she mean by Kataoka almost killed her?' thought Nagisa. She saw Isogai clench his fist though his face was calm as usual. 'This is the first time I've seen this kind of reaction from the usually calm class president.' She looked at Kataoka again.

"I almost died because of you, and now… I'm so scared I can't even get in the water," Tagawa said. She grabbed Kataoka's hand and put it to her face. "You'll support me, won't you? Forever," she said, crocodile tears in her eyes. "Ah, look what time it is~" Tagawa said, looking at her phone. "I promised to play with my friend, and I'm gonna be late." She packed her things then left. "Later, Megumegu~ From here on you'll always be my exclusive 'Ikemegu'!"

Kataoka let out a sigh after Tagawa was out of sight. "So what business does this suspicious quartet over here have with me?" she asked.

The spying team gulped. Koro-sensei, Kayano, Nagisa, and Isogai came out of their hiding place then sat at Kataoka's table.

"I can't believe you came with them too, Isogai," she said.

"Well, can you blame me for worrying for my classmate?" he replied.

Kataoka let out a sigh.

"Ummm… Kataoka-san, I'm curious. Why did your friend say you almost almost killed her? I'm sure you'd never do that, right?" Kayano asked.

Kataoka stayed silent. Then she stood up. "It's better if we talk about it on the way home." She left the restaurant with Koro-sensei, Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai behind her.

On the way home, karaoke told them what really happened between Kataoka and Tagawa. It turns out that Tagawa was her old classmate. She asked Kataoka to teach her how to swim because she didn't want to look bad in front of the boy she liked. After one training session, Tagawa improved enough to just be able to swim in a pool but not an ocean. However, Tagawa felt that she could already swim really well so she never came to practice with Kataoka again. Sure enough, she was later swept away by the ocean and practically drowned, but luckily someone rescued her. After that, she's demanded compensation from Kataoka because her 'useless' swimming training gave Tagawa constant studying lessons. Each time they had a test, Kataoka had to give Tagawa a tutoring session. At the same time, she didn't have time to study her worst subjects, which is why she dropped to the E Class.

"No way… Isn't she taking advantage of you just a bit too much?" Kayano asked.

"It's alright. I'm used to this sort of thing," replied Kataoka.

"That's not okay at all. It's entirely her own fault for skipping your practice like that," Isogai said.

"I have to say… Tagawa is a fool," Nagisa said, bluntly.

The others sweat-dropped. 'That's such a blunt comment,' they thought.

"if you want to be an expert at something, of course you must practice more than once. She's a fool to think 'one practice, and I'll be an expert.' What is she, a genius pro swimmer? Even a genius swimmer isn't like that. Well, it's different if you're a person with many talents," said Nagisa. 'Like a certain someone I know,' she thought.

"Oh! That's right! You were an expert at karate, right, Nagisa-chan? That's why you say it like that," Kayano said.

"What?!" Kataoka and Isogai were shocked. 'So that's why she could fight head on with Takaoka-sensei,' they thought.

"If I were an expert, I would've already won against Karma-kun, Kayano-san," Nagisa replied.

The other three sweat-dropped.

'Just how strong is Karma?!' Kataoka and Isogai thought.

"But Nagisa-san is right, Kataoka-san. No one can be an expert with just one training session. Even a genius," Koro-sensei said. "And if you grow accustomed to others clinging to you, someday you'll be dragged with them." He drew something out. After he finished his drawing, he showed it to them. The title of the drawing was 'The Melancholy Housewife' with Kataoka on the cover.

Kataoka read Koro-sensei's story and shuddered after reading the content.

"That is what you call codependency. You end up becoming dependent on others' dependence on you," said Koro-sensei. "Kataoka-san, the way you look after her and your sense of responsibility are truly incredible. Even so, at times you need to nurture other people's spirit of self-reliance."

Kataoka was silent after hearing Koro-sensei's words. "…What should I do, Koro-sensei?" she asked.

"That much is obvious. She needs to be able to swim with her own power." Suddenly, Koro-sensei changed his usual getup to swimming trunks. "Please don't endure such a burden alone and rely on your sensei. This octopus will teach her Mach swimming that will make event he fish blanch with fright," he replied.

'He's going to teach her to swim?! Does that mean he can swim after all?!' Nagisa thought, shocked.


When night came, they went through with Koro-sensei's plans… But they really didn't expect this! Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai were in the pool, wearing pseudo fish/mermaid costumes while playing in the pool. On the poolside, Tagawa slept soundly. Even after it's been half an hour since they brought her here.

"Umm… Koro-sensei, do we really have to do this? No, did we really have to wear these costumes?" Nagisa asked, pointing at her fish costume.

"Of course, Nagisa-san. If we use our normal attire, she'll know it's us. And worse, she'll report this as kidnapping," Koro-sensei replied. He was wearing a fish costume, as well, while sitting on a chair at the poolside.

"Nagisa-chan…" Kayano said. "You're really bigger than I thought," she said, crying on the inside.

"Errr… Thank you?" Nagisa replied confusedly, covering her chest. She didn't want a recurrence of the earlier incident with Nakamura and Okano.

Isogai sweat-dropped at the two. "Say… When will she wake up? Should we wake her up?" he asked, pointing at Tagawa's sleeping figure.

"Maybe we should call Karma-kun to make her wake up? I bet he'd be willing to do that. As a bonus, he can see you in this cute costume, Nagisa-chan," Kayano replied with a wink.

Nagisa and Isogai sweat-dropped at her.

"Absolutely not. He'll only gain more blackmail material," replied Nagisa.

Unknown to them, a certain AI heard this.

Tagawa stirred.

Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai immediately started acting.

Tagawa looked at her unfamiliar surroundings. She immediately woke up from the shock. "Where am I?" she asked. She saw Nagisa and Kayano in their pseudo fish/mermaid costumes playing with water. 'Am I in some fairy tale land? I must be dreaming. And these people are absolutely not human!' she thought. She looked at Isogai.

When Isogai realized she was looking at him, he gave her an ikemen smile.

'This creature's such an ikemen…' Tagawa thought, a blush on her face.

"It seems you've already woken up," Kataoka said form behind her.

Isogai's eyes widened when he saw her. Kataoka's appearance was different form usual. She let her hair loose from its usual style, and the front was curly. She also wore a pseudo fish/mermaid costume. 'She's beautiful…' he thought.

Nagisa, Kayano, and Koro-sensei looked at them with a glint in their eyes.

"Umm… Th-this is the land of fish! Come, let's all swim together," Kataoka said.

Tagawa turned her head to see Kataoka better. "Why do you look an awful lot like Megumegu?" she asked.

Kataoka turned her head to the other side after hearing her question. "Y-you're mistaken. I don't know anyone with that name. My name is Poisson…" she said, hesitantly.

"That's something you'd name a pub! What the heck?!" Tagawa yelled.

Isogai came out of the pool and went to Kataoka's side. "I'm sorry, but she's always shy when meeting someone new. My name is Calico*," he said with his ikemen smile, making Tagawa blush again.

(*got the name from a fish name—Calico goldfish.)

Nagisa and Kayano also introduced themselves to Tagawa as Carine and Fishina. Tagawa was a bit confused as to why Kayano had a floaty. Koro-sensei introduced himself as the Fish-Octopus King, making the others sweat-drop at him. He fixed her hair into her usual twin-tails then changed her into a swimsuit at Mach speed. He pushed her into the pool.

"W-water!" Tagawa panicked.

Kataoka immediately jumped into the water and gave Tagawa instructions. "Calm down, Kokona. It's shallow over there," she said grabbing Tagawa's shoulder, steadying her. "You want to be able to swim, right? We'll work on it a little bit at a time!"

"I don't want to!" Tagawa yelled, making the other look at her. "Not being able to swim at this point is fine by me! And I already decided that I'd use that to become a lovable character! If I say I can't swim then… a friend of mine that resembles you will listen to anything I tell her!"

Kataoka stayed silent.

'So she has that kind of mind, huh?' thought Nagisa.

Isogai's eyes covered his bangs.

However, Kataoka got a grip on herself again then made Tagawa stretch. Tagawa protested, but she didn't pay any mind to that.

'That's our female class representative for you,' Nagisa thought with a smile. She looked at Koro-sensei. "By the way, Koro—Fish King, aren't you going to get in, too?" she asked.

Koro-sensei twitched at her question. "W-well… I came to the pool today just to get a tan so…" he replied, sweating.

"You can't get a tan late at night, Koro-sensei. And you can't teach her to swim if you don't go in the water, you know?" Nagisa said. 'We have to make sure that Koro-sensei really can't swim,' she thought.

"That's true. Well, I might as well," he said, jumping into the pool and choking the other four.

'He didn't even hesitate to go in the water?!' they thought.

Koro-sensei jumped out of the water with a fish costume. The costume had glass over Koro-sensei's face.

'What the hell is with that costume?!' they thought, sweat-dropping at their teacher.

"This swimsuit was developed for occasions such as this one. It's completely waterproof and can even withstand swimming at Mach speed," Koro-sensei said. "Behold the secret to many swimming techniques." He kicked the water with his tail. His kick made a giant whirlpool.

Tagawa panicked and was about to drown, but Kataoka gave her instructions. This time she followed her instructions.

"That swimsuit or whatever is a cheap trick, Fish King!" Isogai said, turning Koro-sensei's attention to him.

"Yeah! We wanted to see whether your actually body could get in the water or not!" continued Kayano.

"I can even without that," Koro-sensei replied. He threw his swimsuit at Isogai.

The four were shocked again when they saw Koro-sensei standing in the middle of the water.

"He's… actually in the water?!" Kayano said.

Then Nagisa realized something. "No, not quite," she said, pointing at him. Kayano and Isogai saw Koro-sensei scooping out the water around him with a bucket at Mach speed. He was standing on Kayano's floaty.

"He's scooping out the water around him at Mach speed!" Isogai said. The three of them sweat-dropped at him.

Because of this, the pool turned into a wave pool, making Tagawa panic at the sudden change of environment. "Wh-what the hell?! The waves don't reach me, but I'm still being pulled in!"

"Keep calm!" Kataoka said. "Change your course and swim this way!" she instructed. Tagawa followed her instructions again. When Tagawa reached her, she gave her information on how to swim in a riptide.

"It won't do any good to just have the information. Let's swim until morning, enough to pass out… and master an elegant swimming style," said Koro-sensei.

The four of them sweat-dropped. 'This sensei might teach athletics to humans, but he's not really suited for it,' they thought.

They trained Tagawa until midnight. When they finished, Koro-sensei told Nagisa to knock out Tagawa with a light chop behind her neck. He send her home with her bed at Mach 20.

"I hope that's enough for her," Nagisa said.

"Yeah…" Kataoka replied.

"Don't worry, Kataoka-san. With you as her teacher, I bet she'll be able to swim perfectly," Kayano said.

Isogai touched Kataoka's shoulder and gave her a light squeeze. Kataoka looked at him and sent him a small smile.

When morning came, Kataoka went to the main campus to see Tagawa. She saw her swimming perfectly in her swimming class. If not perfect, it was far better than before. "You look good out there, Kokona!" she said from outside the main campus pool.

"W-wha—?!" Tagawa was shocked to see Kataoka there.

"Looks like you've conquered your fear of water. You'll be fine even without my help now!" she said, giving her a thumbs up. She left while Tagawa just realized her mistake. She acted like she didn't need any help from Kataoka again.

In 3E's pool, Koro-sensei was talking to Nagisa, Kayano, Kataoka, and Isogai.

"You guys are so cruel to leave me behind with Karma-kun like that," Nagisa said, sulkily. "It's all your fault, Koro-sensei!"

"Nyuaa! I'm sorry, Nagisa-san!" he said, sweating. "B-but with this, we can make sure that Karma doesn't show the photo to the other students."

The other three nodded their heads.

Nagisa just looked at them with disbelieving eyes.

"Either way, we achieved our main goal. With that lesson, you won't feel anisettes of responsibility toward her, Kataoka-san," Koro-sensei said. He put his tentacle in the water, making the other four look at him. "As you've already guessed, I can't swim. When I get immersed in water, I become almost incapable of moving. You could say that this is by far my greatest weakness." He showed them his swollen tentacle. "But as long as Kataoka-san is my only opponent, I can manage," he continued. "Therefore, please trust in everyone's strength. I created this pool for that very purpose."

He went back to the classroom while Kataoka, Nagisa, Kayano, and Isogai just watched their teacher's retreating back with a smile.

'In the end, he gave us more advice for assassination…' Nagisa thought with a smile on her face.

After a while, Kataoka, Isogai, and Kayano went back to the classroom, leaving Nagisa behind since she wanted to stay a bit longer.

"Ne…Nagisa-chan, when will you show me that bruised hand?" Karma asked from behind her.

"What bruised hand, Karma-kun?" she replied.

"I'm not a fool, Nagisa-chan. Your mother did something to you this morning because she found out you came home late," he said. He walked beside her then grabbed her injured wrist to make her face him.

Nagisa hissed when he touched her left wrist.

"See. This is what I mean," he said, looking at the bruise hidden with concealer.

Nagisa just turned her head to the other side.

"Why don't you leave from that place? She's really not worth it. And you know you can live with me, right?" Karma said, seriously.

"I know, but… no matter what, she's still my mother," Nagisa replied. "I can't just leave her behind like that."

Karma let out a sigh. "So you're still waiting for your parents to get back together, huh?"

Nagisa stayed silent. "It's not like that's wrong, right? To have a hope like that…" she said, quietly.

"No, it's not," he said, pulling Nagisa into an embrace. "But that doesn't mean you can let them do whatever they want to you. Please, take more care of yourself, Nagisa-chan." He tightened hold on her.

The bluenette buried her face in his chest and smelled the familiar scent of cinnamon with a hint of mint. Her grip on his shirt tightened.

They stayed like that until the bell signaling the start of first period rang.


Omake

At midnight, a certain redhead was going through the forest on the mountain behind the classroom with an AI on his phone.

"Isn't it time you told me why you wanted me to go to the pool at midnight like this? I'm too tired after dealing with a certain someone today. I hope it's worth disturbing my rest," Karma said.

"Don't worry, Karma-san. From the information I have, you'll like this," Ritsu said. "Ah, we're here!"

Karma stopped and looked to the pool after hearing Ritsu's words. His gaze focused on a certain sky blue-haired girl with a pseudo fish/mermaid costume. He was stunned for a while.

Ritsu noticed that he didn't move for a while. "Karma-san? Are you okay?"

'She's so beautiful… But what's with the costume, though?' he thought. A smirk appeared on his face. "Ah, I'm okay. And thanks for the information, Ritsu. It's definitely worth it," he replied. "Now, please open my phone's camera, and you can go after that," he commanded, starting to walk where Nagisa was.

"Roger that!" Ritsu said, opening the app.

"Oh~~! What have I here~~ It seems some people are trying to be fairy tale characters~~" Karma said from behind the costumed group. He took a photo of them.

"Karma/Karma-kun!" they yelled. They were shocked.

"What will the others think if I show this to them?" he asked with an evil smirk. He showed them the photo.

"DON'T!" 'How did he even know we were here in the first place?!' they thought.

"What do you want, Karma-kun?" Nagisa asked, sharply.

The smirk on his face widened as he walked to her. "What I want," he said, stopping in front of her, "is for you to be my personal mermaid princess so I can cage you in a big aquarium and never let you go again."

The others gaped at him.

"Then you can have her, Karma-kun," Koro-sensei said with his white emoticon face.

The others were shocked.

"W-wha—?!" Nagisa, most of all, was shocked.

"As the Fish King, I give you permission to have Carine as your personal mermaid if you don't show the other humans the evidence of our existence," Koro-sensei said, his emoticon face never disappearing.

Kayano, Kataoka, and Isogai understood what Koro-sensei was doing now.

"And we, as part of the royal family, give you permission to have Princess Carine as your personal mermaid princess if you follow our father's deal," Kayano said.

Kagaoka and Isogai nodded their heads.

Nagisa just gaped at them.

'Sorry, Nagisa-chan! But this is our our future too!' they thought.

Karma took a photo of Nagisa's funny face. The smirk on his face widened. "The deal shall commence. You guys can go." He grabbed Nagisa's wrist.

"No!" Nagisa said.

The other four immediately left the two of them alone.

"Sa~~~ Carine-hime, you're officially my personal mermaid princess now," Karma said, an evil smirk on his face.

Nagisa looked at him robotically then gave him a stiff smile. 'You guys are traitors!' she thought, crying on the inside.


AN: There you go~~ I make the pool scene into two parts, one is for Kataoka's time (its on manga) and part two is for Terasaka's time :D

And if you guys wondering, for Nagisa chest size is C cup~~

I hope Isogai and Kataoka not to OOC in here...

Sorry for the late update, but my beta reader have her real life too...

I told her to do not rushing the beta. Because she have more important thing to do called homework, So I told her to finish her homework first and beta-ed my story on her free time.

And for my update time I think I must change it,

I will update once a week if I can and once a month the longest. I change my times because, I will be back to my college life and still to do internship + I will start making my internship report soon.

So, I must finished it first if I want to graduate on the right time...

I love writing story... but real life is more important :)

Oh yeah, I will give you an AN chapter after this... don't forget to read it, because its important for the end of this story ;)

Ciaoo~~

Review corner:

To Unicornblossem13-san:

As usual... thank you for your review :)

If you have some idea, just tell me~

To chimichi-san:

Well... I'm don't have any plan to change Nagisa's first fight with Takaoka, because that's the moment where Nagisa's assassination skill began to blooming. And I think it would be weird if I change it to Karma...

Hahahha... my self as the witer of this story pitied both of them too... I want to make them together already, but... I can't because I love making my readers to feel a lot of things from their relationship ;)

Karma is more annoyed rather than angry. You're right~~~it would be big on civil war and I don't have any plans to reduce their fluff moment... instead I want to make more of them, if I can~~

I don't have problem with a long review, so you don't need to restain your self when you give the review :D

To Amaya Kuruta-san:

Hmmm... I think the answer for your question is yes. After all bloodlust is not really a very common thing to feel if you have an ordinary life... well, its different if you deal with bloodlust almost everyday...

I love your version of Karma's parents too, they're so funny especially his mother :D

Ah.. eventhough I want to see you update soon, I won't force you to update. I hope you continue your story till the end, can't wait to see Karma and Nagisa together XD

To Blackbird66-san:

hmmm... let me tell you their relationship...

Nagisa and Karma have a feeling for each other. Their feeling is more than friend...

But because of some circumstate, they can't be together. Not now..

To Two-eyes-girl-san:

I told my beta reader not to rushing the beta process, she's still have her own real life too...

I can't tell her to abandon her homework and force her to work on my story. So I told her to finish it first before she beta-ed my story.

After all realy life are more important :)

To -san:

Well... for my update schedule you can on above :)

Ahahha... for the plot, I'm not really have a plans to change it from the original story line, so... it would be almost the same with the anime/manga but with some of my own plot too~

And here your update :D

Thank for the review~~
