The Second Question

Please give one japanese word that this english paragraph is referring to:

When the sound of the organ began to play,I can't hold my excitement any longer. I have waited for this day to arrive. The bells ring and the angels sing. At last, the gods permitted my dreams and made it happen...together with you, my darling.

Shimada Minami's answer:

'Love' or Ai

Teacher's comment:

I can't give you a credit because it's still incorrect but I praise for your hard work. I have noticed a lot of improvements from you after the graduation. It seems you got used to life of the new country. Sensei is proud to hear that. So keep up the good work.

Kirishima Shouko's answer:

Seikon(Wedding)

Teacher's comment:

Correct, the statement is misleading to 'love' but its known to romance stories as the dream of wedding that will arrive to them. As expected, you're still the top student of your batch and yet sensei's wondering why you enrolled to a low-level university.

Sakamoto Yuuji's answer:

Seikon- (Wedding-)

Teacher's comment:

Correct although sensei's worried why its written in blood and submitted again by Kirishima-san.

"What the hell is this photo?"

I can't even describe it but its magnitude of danger is greater than the ones I previously encountered in school. When was this taken? What happened during that time? How did we wound up like this...?

"Damn! I can't think straight right now. I'm too exhausted from what happened today."

Since this photo came from Mitsurini, better ask him for information. I hid it well, along with my other photo collection, into the album and went off to sleep...hopefully.

Morning came and I'm still haunted by that photo. Maybe I should talk to Mitsurini about it.

I got out of bed and went to the living room.

"Huh? Nee-san went off early?"

Guess I'm all alone this morning. Yosh! Gotta make myself a decent breakfast.

Akihisa's menu:

Toast with butter and egg sandwich

It's a fairly simple menu but it's better than what I had when I was alone: 1/64th portion of cup ramen.

After I had my breakfast, I prepared myself to go outside. I need to talk to Mitsurini and fast, but where can he be?

I dashed down to the last place Mitsurini and I met. Damn! I need to clarify things and I have to know if he send this to the other F class member.

"Huh? Akihisa, why art thou here?"

"Eh?"

I know that voice, a voice who sound manly but still feminine.

"H-hideyoshi?"

Appeared to me was my friend. Maybe he can give some info but...

"Well I am here about the reunion and so I'm just wondering around this place. Anyways, why are you here and why are you wearing that cheongsam?(Drip drip)"

So sexy! Last I saw him wear that outfit was 3 years ago at the cultural festival. I can't remember who became the top rank in our class but remembering that sends chill down my spine.

"I'm working part-time because of some family matter. And shouldn't thee be fixing that bleeding problem?"

"Oh! Hehe!"

I first plugged my nose with a tissue.

"By the way, Hideyoshi, have you seen Mitsurini?"

"I have not. Do thou have business with him?"

This person is from the drama club so it would be impossible to lie to him. I better keep it as close as the whole truth.

"Well yes, its something that you won't need to hear."

"Well I hope that it doesn't involve me this time"

...Apparently you are the reason why I got a photo like that.

"Ahaha...what are you saying, Hideyoshi? You will always be my Yamato Nadeshiko. You know that."

"I am happy to hear that but I feel sad also that I've been compared to a woman...yet again..."

Just try to awaken your true side like you are now, Hideyoshi.

And then, suddenly, an idea came into my mind. If I'm the only one Mitsurini's buyer of Hideyoshi's picture, he would've raised the price higher...instead 10,000 yen is low...so...

I checked my surroundings to trace that guy. Damn...his presence is still unnoticeable.

"Akihisa, what areth thou doing? You look like a weak samurai that is about to be killed by a shinobi"

I hate to admit it but, that's exactly what's happening right now. Mitsurini's skills have improved a lot for a year.

But... There's one last ace in my sleeves.

"Hideyoshi! I'm sorry"

"What the!?"

I flipped Hideyoshi's cheongsam revealing his underwear... Dammit! I wanna see it too but this is the trap I made so I have to bear with it.

FWOOSH!(Sound of Mitsurini's appearance)

PUSSSH!(Sound of blood flowing out of his nose)

CHAK! CHAK!(Sound of camera shutters)

So easy to attract attention...

"Glad you could drop in, Mitsurini."

"...Coincidence."

He's not truthful yet his body does...literally.

"I say Akihisa, I'm already embarrassed to wear this costume but to reveal my underwear?!"

"I'm sorry Hideyoshi, I really want- Mitsurini- that picture you caught- to be caught so I can- sell it to me later- have a decent talk with him bout -for 200 yen- something."

"Your true intentions are well said along the way of saying, Akihisa. And about my picture..."

As expected of Hideyoshi, his sharp senses and female intuition are unpredictable.

"Well...about that...Mitsurini, escape route # 6!"

"... Roger."

FWOOM! (Smoke bomb exploded)

TAKATAKATAK!

"Ah! Akihisa, Mitsurini!"

We managed to escape Hideyoshi's strike-to-the-heart attack and found ourselves resting at the park bench.

"Say Mitsurini, I got something to ask."

Mitsurini looked at me in confusion while I keep staring at the playground infront of us. I guess he didn't expect me to talk about something inside his merchandise. Maybe I should try asking him indirectly.

"Let's say that one of your costumers had a strange photo and th-" "...I confirmed that photo in your envelop wasn't in my catalogue and was placed it inside without my knowledge nor permission." "-en they would come to-THAT WAS FAST!"

I admit that he is fast when it comes to things about his merchandise, he's really sensitive but isn't this over the top?!

"So... You really have no idea..."

"..." (Nods head)

This is really suspicious, who can be more unpredictable than Mitsurini? On top of that, leave a note on a photo like that? It can only be...that guy...

"By the way, where's Yuuji?"

I asked Mitsurini about our bad friend, Sakamoto Yuuji. A prodigy in grade school but a big idiot in our class, though he is our class rep and tactician who made us win the summon war...mostly.

"..." (Shakes head)

This guy really doesn't care about the people not favorable to his business.

"Ok...thanks for the information then, Mitsurini. I'm gonna go do my errands then. See you at the reunion."

I once again I bid farewell to him.

"...for 1,000 yen."

"Hm?"

I turned to look what he was referring to and to my surprise, it was the photo earlier. Hmm...I'm a bit short on my portion of my allowance.

"Mitsurini, isn't that price a bit high?"

"... Then I'll add these."

Two pictures of women I recognize were added to the item along with Hideyoshi's panty shot.

Hmm...the market value of these went up huh...but I still I won't...

"I'll take it!"

"... Thank you for your patronage."

...

...

...

What can I say? A guy has to let loose sometime.

I placed my purchased item into my safety pocket and went off to another journey in search of that strange photo.

"Ara! Aren't you Yuuji's friend since highschool?"

"Ahaha... Yes I am! Is he home?"

I always feel weird to see Yuuji's mom look like a sister instead of a mom. I still wonder why he won't introduce her to us properly?

"I'm here to see that ba- I mean...good friend of mine. I came from abroad so we haven't seen each other for a while now."

It's a good thing that I'm his awesome buddy or else I don't know if his name will be in the obituaries once I'm through in settling some business with him.

"Oh Yuuji? He's at Shouko-chan's home."

For hearing Kirishima Shouko's name, the top model in school for being class A in both education, athletics and beauty, my thoughts completely changed.

"Thank you for that information. I'll be going then."

"You're welcome. Oh and please do tell him that it's been 3 days that he hasn't come home, Okaa-san's worried about him"

Again...new information obtained.

"No problem! I'll make sure to pass the message to him-"

...With a one way ticket to hell.

Yoshii Akihisa, FFF inquisition's top rank executor. Mission Accepted and Commenced.

I marched myself away from the house and off towards my target. This time, I'll make sure to finish you off before the FFF gets to me, Yuuji. Hehehe...

Once I arrived to Kirishima-san's house, I had a strange feeling of 'Does her house became a bit smaller than it used to?'

I shrugged the feeling maybe it's just my imagination or I'm just growing up as I proceeded towards the door.

As I was about to knock on one of the huge door of the household gate, the other door beside me slammed open.

"HELP! GET HER AWAY FROM MEEE!"

"...You can't escape from me, Yuuji!"

Two familiar figures appeared. On the front, was the target, there's no mistake about his spiky red hair and musclebound body. On the back is the jet-black haired maiden with ball and chain in her hand.

"Kirishima-san!"

"...Akihisa."

"Yo, Akihisa-GUWOH! H-hey! What the hell are you-GUAH!"

Che! That guy's movements have improved a lot huh, well I improved as well.

CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!

"UWAH! S-Shouko! H-how did yo-GUAH!"

Distraction effective! Target's immobile by ball and chains on all limbs.

"You will explain things on the event to the FFF inquisition."

"Explain what?"

I still can't believe that this guy can lie to me with a straight face.

"Your mom told me you're here for 3 days sleeping with Kirishima-san and we already knew you're her fiancee but it's still unacceptable!"

Sha!

"Oi, Akihisa! You dropped something, lemme pick it up."

Something fell on me? And looks like a photo? Is it a picture of Hideyoshi perhaps?...No, his pictures are still in my safety pocket... All that's left is...!

"Yuuji, wait!"

"What's wrong Akihisa? Showing up here like you got a-WOAH! WHAT THE HELL?!"

Of all the people that pic is to be shown, why the heck is the enemy itself?!

"...Yuuji...what is it?"

"Ah! Nothing to worry about! Um...Shouko, could you please give us a space to talk to my old buddy? I'd like to talk about the things he do in his school, isn't that right, buddy?"

As he said that, he communicated me with his stare 'just follow my lead and we'll talk properly about your problem' this communication was still helpful during our gathering as F class students. I thought I would see the day of this thing won't exist anymore.

"Y-yea, its been a year and I already missed you guys so I'll start off with talking to Yuuji."

"... Then, let me join in."

Guu...is it me or she became more persistent than ever?

I looked at Yuuji and began to send him a message.

"What do we do, Yuuji? If she finds out what we're hiding, we'll be done for."

"Tch! Can't be helped, you know what to do, Akihisa."

Huh...guess we have to show her how much we improved huh.

We nod ourselves in agreement and stared back at her in somewhat combat stance.

"Ready..."

Yuuji lightly muttered as he leaned forward to Kirishima-san as if he's gonna charge towards her.

"Steady..."

I muttered in response and I knew what his plan was but I'm not gonna let him do what he want so also I positioned myself the same way he does as we roared what our hearts would tell us to do.

"DASH!"

From the moment we announced our battle cry, we ran in the opposite direction from where we leaned. Damn bastard, was he planning on abandoning me from the beginning?

"Oi Akihisa, aren't you the one whose gonna stay behind and distract?"

"What are you saying, Yuuji? No matter what I do, all she had in her mind was you."

It's a pain for me to say it but that's the truth. Such a wonderful angel being wasted onto this horrible ugly devil.

We dashed down the street as things we don't tend to notice flashed by. I kept my position with Yuuji. If this guy gets lost from my sight, he might show the pictures and tell the information to the FFF.

Dammit, if it comes to this, I have to do it.

I grabbed Yuuji's hand and increased our pace.

"Oi, Akihisa! Since when did you manage to beat me in terms of speed?"

"I trained myself..."

...To escape from idiot people like yourself.

People moved aside as we dashed beside them, still followed by Kirishima-san who's slowly losing us. Alright, it's our win.

"Its nice of you to accompany me at the mall, Minami-chan."

"Well I got nothing to do since all of us got a permission for a week off from school. It's a sudden change of habit."

"Yea, it feels strange that we got permission from our schools to have a reunion at Fumizuki academy, I wonder why?"

"Who knows? As long as we have a week, let's have some fun with it."

"Y-yes, the reunion's tomorrow so we should have some fun time with our old friends but ...everyone's busy with their own time."

"Sigh...yea, makes me feel awkward for just two of us walking around talking things about having fun with everyone."

"...Get away...!"

"Hm?...Did you say something, Mizuki?"

"I-I didn't say anything?"

"GET AWAY!"

"Huh?... KYAA!" "KYAA!"

"Wh-what was that?"

"I-I don't know but those two guys' voices and figures are familiar."

"...Pardon me."

"Ah! Kirishima-san?"

"Kirishima-san? What's going on, Minami-chan?"

"Well we both know that when Kirishima appeared, there's bound to be Sakamoto with her. So the one with the red-haired guy has to be him."

"I-If that's true, then the other person with him must be-GASP!"

"Aki?!" "Akihisa-kun?"

"Mizuki, let's catch up to them!"

"Y-yes!"

We're running and dodging things as fast as we can but Kirishima-san still caught up to us. Dammit Yuuji, your stubborness influenced her as well. And now that I noticed, the numbers of those chasing us have increased.

"Yuuji, what do we do?"

I can't last long running my top speed with him and his chains pulling me back. I kept my pace back to normal.

Yuuji's quick thinking never fails to astonish me.

"Dammit, guess there's only one place we can escape, I just hope THEY let us."

They? I wonder who could they be. If I possess his quick thinking I would now but for now, I have to bear carrying his chains and ran along in his instructions.

Although we've been going up and down the hill to try to shake them, isn't this route too familiar?!

"Yuuji, you aren't planning to-?"

"Yea, I'm planning to hide to the one who invited us."

I smirked at the idea and increased my pace again. Really, this guy, he knew that if we entered in there, there'll be tons of places to hide.

"This is our advantage!"

"So you bunch of idiots came into school and passed Nishimura-san just to hide from your pursuers here."

Of all the places...why would he go to the 'one who invited us' so literally?

"Oi Yuuji!"

"We're not here for that damned granny."

"Ho... Its been a long time since. I've been called by a grown up brat."

I get the feeling this isn't about the ones chasing us but at least they didn't find us here.

"There's no such thing as a reunion in the first place if there's no big catch to it, isn't it, damned old granny?"

"I see...so you still haven't dulled"

Eh?...why is it that I was always left out in this conversation.

"After your graduation, the system has to delete the summoned beings in order for new beings to be constructed."

"But something went wrong in our batch, huh?"

"It's kinda annoying that you have sharpened your senses but yes, there is. Your batch was locked down by the system for a pending summon wars battle..."

I can't follow what they're trying to say but at least, I remember about the summon wars system. This school separates idiots from geniuses with placement tests. Arranged as A with good facilities and F for the worst things. They also create summons resembling the person in smaller size to allow them to battle against other classes. These battle are monitored by teachers and the attack powers of these beings are based on the summoner's test scores. Winner of the lower class exchange facilities with higher class. If they lose, they get degraded facilities of 1 class lower than them and won't fight for 3 months. Our goal since second year in here was to take over class A's facilities...failed miserably for...I can't count.

"...Anywho, it seems that it won't budge even I tried resetting the system. And as a reward for doing this event, I set up a reunion after it."

"Eh?"

I think I missed most part of this conversation while I was thinking hard. And it seems Yuuji here noticed it.

"Sheesh...after all these years you still can't follow up?"

"It's not my fault! You guys talk about too many complex things."

"Yeah! Yeah! Enough lame excuses and listen up."

I sat down and listen to him intently, this guy knows how my mind run.

"The school system is supposed to kill our beings after we graduated since we don't need them anymore but there's a problem with it being able to."

"Fu! I understand that so far, but what's this 'kill'?"

Now, I feel sorry for our summon beings...

"It's because your head won't cope up, idiot! That aside, do you remember our last battle that was interrupted?"

The last battle interrupted...Ah!

"That was when we fought our seniors!"

Now that I remember it, class F were about to win when the seniors interrupted by having a summoned war between the second years and the third years.

"Right, since that event occurred, the system thought we'll continue that particular war later so it held it for a while even after graduation."

Ah...is that so...wait!

"Then after that battle with the seniors, didn't we start all over again?"

Because in third year, we're still class F... Sadly.

"That is true, but since you brats didn't continue after your second year, that battle condition was stuck in its memory like a dog waiting for its young master to come home after several years."

Oh... I see...that means if we battle now, we might settle that battle debt in there.

"Now that Akihisa understood it, we have one last problem in your proposal."

"And what is it?"

"It'll be a hassle to have a battle with all of us here so how about a few reps of each class. To join the second years?"

"Heh...I knew you'd say that, that reunion of your partner was a perfect timing to do it and I only invited those class reps and a few well-known students of your level."

Huh...seems we're not going to see only Kirishima-san in this battle.

"Then, we'll accept your offer, class 2-F and old class F vs class 2-A and old class A"

I'd like to say 'who's old?' But I can't complain since it's one more chance to see who's better...but wait!

"If the data aren't deleted, doesn't that mean I'm still the punishment inspector?!"

"Yes, you are."

Guu...as school punishment inspector, my being can touch physical objects that other beings can't. But as a price, I have to work for teacher's errand boy and if my summon is injured, I get a feedback feeling...I don't want to experience hell all over again.

"Don't fret over it Akihisa, you're the dumbest person to get this title easily."

"What did you say? you bastard!"

"Quiet, you two! If you don't have other business in here, I suggest my precious alumni to be a good example to my cute students as they get out of here. See you tomorrow."

Guu...I dunno whom I gonna be mad at? The bastard or the damned old granny?

We walked out of the school, still no sight of Kirishima-san and 'HIM', and began to walk to our usual path home. We talked about the photo that began the wild goose chase to confirm who's the culprit.

"So Yuuji, you really didn't sneak in Mitsurini's merchandise and slip 'that' in?"

"Yup! because in the first place, if Shouko finds it, my life will end in a flash..."

I see...so Kirishima-san still plans to get him cornered, huh?

"Then, if you didn't put it in, who would've done it?"

"Its best not to talk about it, for our sake...if the FFF are able to find this photo, we're not going to escape with just the usual punishment."

"Y-yea..."

For touching a woman is death, going out with a woman is death...means there's something greater than death if they found out about this photo...

It was afternoon when we bid farewell to each other by bumping our fists and split up from the junction. On my way home, there came a sight on the park. It was a girl sitting onto a swing seems she's waiting for someone.

Out of curiosity, I walked to the park and took a closer.

"Hey, is something wrong?"

"No, I'm just waiting for ba-Ah! Baka onii-chan!"

Immediately as she looked up, she leaped towards me and clung herself around my neck...that nickname she used on me...

"H-Hazuki-chan?!"

She's a younger sister of someone I know, she's a cute little girl when I first met her, now she looks cuter yet a bit more mature.

"Why are you here? Doesn't your nee-chan worry about you right this moment?"

"I was waiting for baka onii-chan to come back and he did. Also..."

Our conversation was cut off when we heard a voice.

"Hazuki! Time to go home!"

"Ah! Onee-chan!"

With her excitement, Hazuki let's go of my neck. I stood up and rub it gently. I guess the strength runs in the family. I walked right behind but stood a bit of distance. There stood 2 grown up ladies almost the same age as mine: one a red-haired girl and tied up to a ponytail and a body so flat that a steam roller ran over it and the other was a long pink-haired with plump body to special areas.

"Hazuki, how many times do I have to tell you not to come here alone?"

"But onee-chan, Hazuki waited for a long time for baka onii-chan to come and he did!"

"Wh-what are you saying? There's no way that...idiot...will be..."

The red-haired stopped as soon as he took sight of me making her companion confused.

"What's wrong, Minami...chan...?"

Seems that the other one followed the first one...guess it's time.

"Long time no see, Himeji-san, Minami..."

"...Akihisa-kun..." "...Aki..."

It seems they're gonna cry as they began to ran towards me...EH?!

"Aki, where have you been? We've been looking for you since graduation?"

"Th-that's right, we we're so concerned where you might go to after graduation."

"You even made Hazuki worry baka onii-chan for so long."

"Ehehe...s-sorry, uhm, let's go to my home to explain things properly."

I know it's a bad offer but I can't let these women get home now it's getting a bit dark.

As we're going to my home, I felt something on each arm.

"Eh? EH?!"

Why is Minami and Himeji-chan clinging to me hard? I know they missed their long friend but isn't this too close?! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!

What should I tell nee-san about this? The FFF? And should I tell them about the picture?!

Mik106's Notes:

Hey guys, hope you like the story so far, as for the events I know you're gonna ask "what the hell happened? 3rd year vs 2nd year summon war?" simple answer is that it did happened in the light novel, the story I'm writing is mainly focused on the light novel. so please be patient or just read the rest so i can fill some of the gaps in the 3rd question.

Here's a Question though for you guys to enjoy joining in.

Special Question:

In Baka to Testo to Shoukanjuu (Light novel, Anime),
