" Huh?" Tasuku exclaimed in horror. " What the? I remember that Mrs. Mikado made a lunch box for me too and she asked me to put it in my bag. And I did!". Tasuku said while looking back and front.
"Hey Mr. Ryuenji! What's wrong? You're looking very worried". A good boy asked. "Uh.. well it's nothing but….. who are you? I'm really sorry" Tasuku replied. " It's okay, I know you might know me as I came here a few weeks back.' The boy said with a pleasant smile, which was a sign that he was not affected. "Oh okay! But where are you from?"
Tasuku asked rather suspiciously. "Uh… I never thought that I would be meeting you one day but I'm happy to chat with you! I came from Chou Nagoya, sir". The boy replied. Tasuku's eyes widened at hearing Chou Nagoya's name.
" Chou Nagoya!" Tasuku asked with a very awakened and sad tone. " Yes ,sir" the boy answered not understanding Tasuku's speech. " So have you always been there or any other place." Tasuku asked. " Yes , sir I have been! I was born in Inazuma town and then two years before, me and my mom moved to Chou Nagoya because….." The boy answered and not telling the end to Tasuku.
" Uh.. if you don't mind then can you tell me your name?" Tasuku asked him. The boy stood still and then stretched a bit " Y..Yes1 I'm really sorry, sir for chatting with you and not even telling my name. My name is Utsunomiya Toramaru.
" The boy answered. "Oh okay Toramaru!" Tasuku answered as though nothing strange had happened but inside his heart he kept his suspicions as he thought that Toramaru was just trying to be nice but was just like the others. " Why are you standing sit down Toramaru! If you want then let's have a chat." Tasuku asked nicely but hesitated a little. " So.. which class are you from?" Tasuku asked.
"I'm from 6th grade 4.5 campus, sir." Toramaru continued to tell the cop. " Sir?". " Huh?" Yes? What did you want to talk to me about?" Tasuku asked Toramaru politely. " Sir, what are you searching in your bag and what are you looking so upset about?". Toramaru asked Tasuku. " Huh? Well….. I.. can I ask you something?" Tasuku asked with a very depressed tone.
" M..M..Me? you want to ask something from me! This is my luckiest day.. first I talked to you and now you… uh? AHHH! I'm really sorry! U..Uh I mean that I got out of control and said all that sir! Please forgive me!" Toramaru replied.
Tasuku started to laugh and then nodded. " Uh.. well for the question! Do you hate me?" Tasuku asked very strangely. " S..Sir? what are you saying?"Toramaru asked with his leg and hand up in the air and while staring at the officer. " Auh! i.. I mean that everyone-" " Everyone thinks that you are bad and they hate you while others don't? Am I right? If you are asking this then no, sir! I don't hate you!" Toramaru replied while cutting of Tasuku and his face was like a black thundercloud.
" Okay then! Well you see I did not have breakfast and now someone played a prank on me or didn't want me to live so he took the lunch box out of my bag and now….." Tasuku replied. " Oh my! What are you saying! You know my class fellows and friends are doing the same, I mean that they say that they don't like you and stuff like that!" Toramaru said in unison.
" It's okay! You don't hav-" Tasuku suddenly stopped as he heard the School bell ring. " Auh? * sweat dropping* T... Tasuku Sir? You didn't eat anything in whole recess! Are you going to be alright?" Toramaru asked. " A… Auh! Y.. Yes! I think so! OF COURSE! I WAS A BUDDYPOLICE OFFICER AFTER ALL!" Tasuku replied. " Okay then, sir! I will be going now because.. Ahh! Class is about to start! Bye Bye Sir." Toramaru said while running off to his class.
" Looks like I have no choice! Even though I could ask Hana but it was too late for that! Oh well, let's see what happens". Tasuku said while going back to his own class .
In Tasuku's class
" Huh? Tasuku? What's wrong? Sit straight please we are in the middle of class!" Tasuku's teacher said. "Y..Y..Yes M.. Miss" Tasuku managed to speak as he was too hungry. " Tasuku? Are you okay? Do you have a stomach ache if you do then should I call the nurse?" The teacher said very worriedly and she was not affected by the curse. " N.. N.. No miss, I'm okay!" Tasuku replied. " Yeah Miss, let him be! Even if he has a stomach ache then what should we do? He should have taken more care of himself!" One of Tasuku's classmates said in a very rude tone
" Someoka! Keep quiet don't be mean, if you refuse then go to the principal's office right now! *angry tone* Tasuku Dear if you don't feel better then please tell me I will call the budd.. I mean where ever you are living with, By the way here are you staying?" The teacher asked. " Uh.. thank you I will and I'm at a friend's place but he is not from this class". Tasuku replied. " Oh okay! Now class! Back to the topic. Write down: How do we make ramen? Passage of 500 words." The teacher said.
Gao's campus
" So, bro?" Baku asked. " Huh? Yes Baku?" Gao asked very politely. " What did you do with the showoff? I mean that you are being very proud about it, so what is it?" Baku asked. " Yeah Gao! I'm also very curious I wonder what did you do with the so called buddy cop". Kuguru answered with great enthusiasm in each and every word of hers. " Yeah Gao! Tell me too!". The three friends looked the other way and saw Noboro. " Uh? Noboro? Why are you wearing that kitten mask?" Gao asked. " It's a TIGER not a KITTEN!" Noboro replied. Gao began to speak. " So guys you see that Tasuku-"
Back at home
" I hope that the kids are doing well." Suzumi said while washing the dishes, but the thing is that, who in the world could have done this? Tasuku? I remember that the public loved him but Gao! Gao as far as I know he was always making a new deck to have a fight with Tasuku and to win! He was always talking about him that Tasuku is my best rival and he is such a nice person and stuff like that but now? Something is definitely wrong and I think I should ask Tasuku about it. Maybe he knows something and is hiding something?" Suzumi murmured.
" Suzumi dear?" Hanae asked Suzumi. " Yes Mom?" Suzumi replied. " Do you even know what time is it?" Hanae said. " No Mom? What is the time….. 2:30 ? Is It for real! The kids are going to be back any second now and I haven't even started making the lunch!" Suzumi yelled. " I knew you wouldn't have" Hanae sighed.
After 15 minutes
" I'm Back!" " So am I! Gao and Hanako said while entering the home. " Welcome home!" Suzumi said from inside the kitchen. " Huh? Where's Tasuku?" Suzumi asked. "What do you have to do with that defuse?" Gao replied. " Gao! that's a very bad thing to say!" Suzumi said angrily. " Uh….. Mom? Tasuku is outside.. he was coming really slowly and when I asked him what happened he didn't answer. He was leaning against the wall and his face looked like he was about to…." Suzumi went outside even before Hanako could finish her sentence.
Suzumi went outside and saw Tasuku who fell down and was barely even able to lift himself up. " Tasuku? What happened?" Suzumi said while bending down to help him get up. " Auh? Mrs. Mikado! Well you see that….."
Inside in the kitchen
" There you go!" Suzumi kindly while giving Tasuku a plate with a burger on top of it. Suzumi then with a very angry face turned towards Gao and Hanako. " So which one of you took the lunch box out of Tasuku's bag?" Suzumi said very angrily and looking towards Gao.
" Hey! Don't look at me, if you want to know anything then ask Her! Yes! Ask Hanako."
