A-HA! An extra night chapter! I bet no one who read my comments earlier was expecting that... And there's also a bonus chapter that goes with it! Enjoy!

Bring-bring. "Hello?"

The headmaster paused, before shouting into his phone one more time. "Hello!?"

"I'm here, Headmaster," a quiet voice murmured. Although the voice was difficult to hear, Azami instantly recognized it.

"Ah yes, Momo. What is it?"

"Well, um… I was trailing Kurokiba and… Bucchi is really scared." "Bucchi is… scared?"

"Uh-huh," she whimpered, "It's really dark, and this area is kinda sketchy. I'm in an ally off Twilight Boulevard."

While the headmaster was tempted to tell her to tough it out, for this was important information she was after, he was not completely heartless. "Alright, Momo, would you like me to send someone out there to meet you? How about Eizan-kun?"

The girl responded cheerfully, "Uh-huh! That's a good idea! Eizan-kun has lots of business connections, so if we get beat up, our attackers would never eat at a nice restaurant again!"

That's not exactly what I had in mind, thought Azami, but what he said was, "Hang in there, Momo. Eizan will be there shortly, and then you won't have to be afraid anymore." The response was a frighteningly low chuckle.

"Me? Afraid? Good joke, Headmaster. Nothing scares me. It's BUCCHI who's the scaredy cat." And with that, she hung up. Shocked, the headmaster could only gawk for a few seconds, before punching a few numbers into his phone.

The next call was made to the former ninth seat. Eizan grumbled and complained about how he didn't have time to babysit his senpai, and how this whole anti-caroling scheme was stupid, anyways. However, it only took a short reminder of how he was in no state to question the headmaster, especially after losing that Shokugeki, to make him agree to go. About ten minutes later, Azami was called again, this time by Eizan's cell phone.

Before he was even done saying "Hello", the frantic voice whispered, "He's huge." The headmaster paused, awaiting an explanation that wasn't coming. Eventually realizing this, he asked, "What?"

Momo cut in, "The new choir member. At least, we think it is. He's meeting with Kurokiba, and showing him a box of some sort."

The girl's protector added, "I'm not sure who it is, but I think he's a first year. He probably wasn't in the Autumn Elections, though, because I would have recognized him…" There was a slight hesitation, before continued, "Although… That black, spiky hair looks like that one Italian kid's, but it can't be! That guy was scrawny, and this boy's pretty fat. They couldn't possibly be the same person."

Suddenly, he interrupted himself with, "What? Oh, shoot! They're coming! Get down, senpai!" The duo of teenage boys strolled down the alley towards their seniors. Azami could only hear a muffled version of the conversation, but he could still make out most of the words:

"So, I should just give this to my bro? He'll like it?"

"Of course," a deep, lazy voice responded. "There's nothing better for an early Christmas gift."

"Alright, then! Grazie, Kurokiba-kun!" There was a pattering of footsteps, then Eizan was back on the phone.

"I saw it, Headmaster! What was in the box!"

Leaping to his feet, Azami pleaded "What was it!? Tell me!" "It was… a swimming pool."

Silence.

"A… what, Eizan?"

"An inflatable swimming pool, and just one."

"B-b-but!" Azami stuttered, "There can't be just one! It has to be SEVEN! Remember the song?" Much to Eizan's dismay, Azami began to aggressively speak through the song. "Six geese a-laying, five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens…"

"Okay, alright, we get it, Headmaster," Momo butted in.

Azami tilted his head sideways. "Come to think of it, I wonder how they got all these birds!"

Momo grumpily interjected, "Anyway, I think we've been tricked. This is all just a set-up, and right now, Alice is meeting with the real new member."

"WHAT!? NO! I should've had one of you watching Alice!" The Headmaster facepalmed, then grudgingly thanked the two council members for their work and hung up.

Meanwhile, in the Nakiri Manor, Alice had just finished her meeting. "Just remember: The line is 'seven swans a-swimming'. You have a great tenor, so as long as you get the words, this should be great. I'll see you tomorrow!" And he was gone.

Alright, so tomorrow's choir member is gonna be a BIG surprise now, I know, but I liked writing this, and trying to imagine Eizan and Momo crouched up in some dark alleyway, trying to read the box without being seen. That was honestly fun. PLUS, it allows me to introduce the second bonus chapter! :)
