The Fourth Question

It is the longest name of an illness that involves inhaling very fine dust that leads to inflammation of the lungs. Please name that illness.

Himeji Mizuki's answer:

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

Teacher's comment:

Correct, it is one of the longest word in the English dictionary. Many people gave up halfway of saying or even writing it. You may become a good teacher if you continued to work hard for you to teach the next generation new things, but sensei only wishes you good luck in the career you have chosen.

Tsuchiya Kouta's answer:

Pneu-scopic-covolcano-iosis

Teacher's comment:

It may seem that you wrote the correct answer but sensei can't read the blood splatter and they seem to cover somewhat related to the cause of it. Try to get a hold of yourself next time.

Yoshii Akihisa's answer:

Supergreatultramegahyperextremelydeadlyvirus

Teacher's comment:

This isn't a longest health problem contest but you really have a surelyundeniablyundoubtedlypossitivelyserious problem.

This picture has me at the center; Himeji-san at my left and Minami on my right and both of them are close to to me with their lips are nearly touching my cheeks...the main question that I have now is... WHY DID IT HAPPENED AGAIN?!

I had no clue what happened from then and now but one thing's clear for me, I had to get out of it if I want to live longer.

I slowly lifted Hazuki, who was sleeping soundly on top of us, and placed her gently down behind Minami. Her innocence is still unmatched that I want to stay longer. Sorry Hazuki, I'll try to make up for it.

Then, I lifted the crossed arms from my waist to their respective body location but they somehow found their way to wrap around my neck and their faces draw nearer to mine.

I-I-I-I-I can't move my face. They're too close.

"A-Akihisa-kun..."

"H-Himeji-san?"

I replied in a soft whisper, it'll be troublesome if someone was able to hea- Eh?! Someone's pulling me away from Himeji-san! I-I-it can't be!

"M-Minami?!"

"Aki..."

"Ugu...mff!"

Not good, it looks like the both of them are asleep but they are pulling me by the neck. Ack! I'm getting choked by two sleeping girls.

Its already heaven that a guy gets surrounded by girls in bed, but if they're as deadly as this, then you're just inviting your own grave. Especially when they wake up.

I used the skills I've learned from Mitsurini long time ago to slowly, but surely, move their hands off me. I learned about being stealthy but I don't intend to use it for this.

It took a lot of time and concentration to get them off me without waking them up. Regrettable, but if left that situation a bit sooner for being succumbed by it, I'll be sent back into the river I just came either by these or a much more frightening one.

Now that I've escaped, I glanced at the time to see how long was I out and got out of that mess.

"3:30 am, huh."

I can't sleep since I just woke up from a lot of events(being dead mostly) so I guess I have to make these girls some breakfast.

I went off to the kitchen and look for the available ingredients for breakfast.

"Huh? Empty?"

Nee-san had a grocery bag when we arrived, right? If she wasn't expecting company and considering its paella for dinner, and I had a trembling reunion with Himeji's cooking, I guess it's not much surprising that the groceries were emptied already in an instant.

There weren't any grocery stores opened at this hour. Then, I can only buy instant meals from the convenience store. I grabbed my wallet and went off to the store.

While gathering some instant meal from the convenience store. I took time to question myself some things:

First, I understood that Minami and Hazuki can't leave because of how dark it is right after my 'last supper' but I wonder, did Himeji-san called her parents that she slept over?

Second, that game we had been too intense and Minami kissed me even though it's a joke, is she punishing me or something like telling them that I stole her kiss to the FFF?

"That'll be 1,000 yen."

Lastly, the picture still bothers me...I wonder why I can't remember what happened in that picture and just now?

"ARGH! Its so frustrating!"

I admit that I am an idiot for forgetting this but this picture might have been done a year ago or so, how is it possible that I had forgotten about this?

"Uhm...sir, 1,000 yen please"

"Oh! Uhmm... I'm sorry I'll pay...up..."

"U-uhm...sir? W-why are you staring at me like that?"

"Hmm...say, have I seen your face before?"

The store clerk was a shy lady but I think I've seen her before...or yesterday afternoon. She was wearing 2 hairclips that pulled her hair to one side...and she seem to look like...?!

"...Kinoshita-sa-GUAH!"

Bingo...Kinoshita Hide-Yuuko, Kirishima-san's second-in-command and role model of the school. This girl's the true cautious strategist of class A since second year. But her most fearsome power was once you hit the wrong button, you mostly wind up dead.

And her punch led me down to the ground so easily.

"O-ouch...t-that hurt."

"Hmph! Its your fault for not dodging it, idiot."

Even though they're twins, Kinoshita-san packed more power and intellect than Hideyoshi but less in the attractive side, a total opposite.

"S-sorry!"

"Really, it's because you're an idiot that bad things happen to you."

...I can't fight back...her words were as powerful as he punch...I was crying deep inside but kept my face straight...have to change the topic before my eyes burst into tears...

"Uhm! So what are you doing here?"

"Ah! W-what am I doing here? W-w-well I work here of course. Even an idiot like you should know that"

"Ah sorry! I mean why are you working here?"

"Ah! Uhm...I HAVE MY OWN REASONS SO DONT EVEN ASK!"

Why do I keep on stepping landmines?

"And you? What brings you here so early morning?"

I pondered myself hard. I have to come up with a go-no great lie and not saying 'I have guest in my house' or else she'll investigate it.

"Someone asides you are in your house that empties your grocery, right?"

Guu! Damn, do people nowadays became even sharper?

"I-I-I-I-I d-d-dont know what you're talking about?"

"Really, before you even try to come up with a lie, your idiotic face always gave the truth away. Anywho, I don't have any interest in what's going on but if it's about you and that Sakamoto trying to ruin the event, then I won't hesitate to tie you two up and leave you hanging at the school clock tower."

Uhm...isn't that way over the top. We can't find our way down from that even if we managed to escape the bind.

"I-I understand...well I better get going. See ya, Kinoshita-san."

"Good...!...Hey wait! You forgot to pay those, you idiot!"

After buying some instant meals(nearly went to the police station), I went home and began to line them up. It's still too early for them to wake up huh.

"Well...I guess it's also too early to create instant meals. Maybe I should take a bath."

"Uhm...sorry to use all the ingredients in your fridge, Akihisa-kun."

"Ah, no worries, Himeji-san."

Seeing her worried face makes me feel more of a bad person to her...EH?!

"Eh?! Himeji-san?!"

"Ah! Sorry, I just felt like we bothered you too much and we all slept on your bed that you slept somewhere in here."

You only said half of the truth...and lie the rest of the half.

"I-its ok Himeji-san, what's important here is we all had fun."

Though I can't say that much for me though.

"I didn't have fun at all..."

Eh? I can't hear what Himeji-san just said.

"H-Himeji-san?"

"I hadn't had fun for a year because the most important person in my life was gone without me knowing."

I heard her sobbing statement while her tears went down from her eyes. Morning hasn't arrived but her tears glowed at such glimmer, it gave me sorrow.

"H-Himeji-san..."

I guess its expected that things won't go well at college. Himeji-san is at loss for a year without her first crush...that isn't me.

I tried to wipe her tears but she suddenly clung and pressed her body against mine, shaking and sobbing. I felt her suffering right away from how she acts from her usual self.

"A-Akihisa-kun... let me stay like this...please?"

I can't shake the feeling that this is how everyone feels after graduation but one thing's for sure. I can't let Himeji-san cry like this. I only tried my best by just wrapping my arms around her delicate, smooth body.

We stayed like this for quite some time. I feel sorry that the person she likes isn't here to see her how much she missed him. Our bodies parted as she spoke in a slight cheerful manner.

"T-thank you. Akihisa-kun, sorry to ask some strange request at this time."

"Ah, no need. I'm just here to make you happy, that's all."

She smiled and wiped her tears then she has shown me her bright radiance once more, and with the morning sun shining on her face, I can tell that god has given me a chance to be happy as well. Thank you, god!

Morning came and we all ate our instant breakfast. Minami's face was flushed red though...I wonder what happened when I left my bed? Was my room hotter than usual this time of year?

"Aki-kun, did something happened when you woke up?"

"Ahahah, w-what are you saying nee-san? I just slept without knowing what happened around me (because of Himeji-san's dish)"

I wonder nee-san was awake last night...if she was...there's no such event happened, right?...better change topic just to make sure.

"Oh right! I forgot its the day we had our meeting with the current second years."

"Oh yea! Hazuki, let's hurry home and head there after changing."

"Ok onee-chan. Ehehe!"

Hazuki's cooperative and cheerful today, its strange.

"I-I should be going home too."

I can only nod in agreement. Himeji-san's parents were worried sick about her since she hasn't come home last night. Same goes for the Shimada sisters.

After all the girls left one after another, leaving me behind cleaning up the mess. It's not new to me since I always take care of the dishes and with them around, it's really uncomfortable just showing how I got used to doing it.

"Yosh! I should hurry up and get to school quick."

It's just throwing out the trash of our meal and cleaning the utensils used.

After cleaning, I head to my room and opened my closet.

"Hmm...what to pick."

Usually, normal clothing is used when you're just visiting school. But there's an event and so I have to be formal. But it looks like I didn't bring anything with me.

"Huh? What's this? Hmm...looks good for the event."

I picked up the clothes and put it on. A nice fit I should say.

While grooming myself, I saw an album that was lying on the table. Wasn't this the album I was trying to get from Minami last night?!

Feeling a bit relieved, I opened the book and found that most of the pictures are there.

"Huh? I seem to miss something." I checked the album again. All of Hideyoshi's pictures, even the recent ones in my envelope, are there. What's the lost picture and where would it go off to?

No time to think about it, I have to get going to the event.

Dashing at the usual route towards school, I reunited with the 3 familiar faces outside the gate wearing their normal clothes.

"Ah! Yuuji, Mitsurini, Hideyoshi! What's up?"

"We are going to have a meeting with our juniors so were best be grouped together in order for an easy introduction."

"...its best to know your allies in groups."

"By the way, Akihisa, why hast thou wear the academy uniform?"

"Oi! Akihisa, you knew you aren't a student anymore, right? Don't try to make yourself remembered by that."

"Well I kinda feel motivated to summon battles even just watching them."

And I can't think of anything cool to wear to the school event so best not to let them know.

"I bet thou hast decide to appear cool to our juniors."

"Kuh!"

"You're still an idiot no matter you wear, Akihisa."

"...Zero sense in fashion."

I don't like to hear that from people who wear their normal clothes to a school battle event.

Our breif discussion came to a halt when another 3 familiar voices were heard behind me.

"E-everyone, sorry we're a bit late!"

"I just met Mizuki along the way."

"Hehe...onee-chan's really getting ready for baka o-mff!"

"S-s-s-school event! That's right, I wasn't preparing this just for someone"

Hazuki really likes to talk about Minami, huh. I guess its good to be praised by your sibling yet also a problem for Minami that her secrets were to be revealed by her sister.

"Oh, Himeji, Minami, pipsqueak! You guys are just in time really."

I turned to Yuuji who was patting Hazuki's head. This scene really reminds me of a father who pets his daughter for the good things she has done. Heh! Seems like some things that doesn't change about this guy.

" Oh! You ladies look better from the last time we met."

"...*nods frantically*(Drip drip)"

I can't complain to what Hideyoshi just said. Even though they're wearing their normal clothes, they look even cuter than ever.

"Hehe...kawaii nee-chan became cuter too."

"No fair, Kinoshita! We know we aren't much against a pretty girl like you but you can't just use that to your advantage for this. It isn't fair."

"That's right Kinoshita-kun, you're getting more attention than you had before, the guys here had their eyes on you all the time."

"For the last time, I'm a guy."

KACHAK! KACHAK!

I feel sorry for Hideyoshi. Why can't he just reveal his true form and then we can all be happy? Also I think I heard Mitsurini's camera shutter...damnit, and I'm low on my budget too...

"Okay guys, enough joking around. Let's head inside and meet our juniors."

"Huh? Aren't we supposed to meet the others, Sakamoto-san?"

Himeji's question is common but also sharp, Yuuji and I are the only ones who know that the true appearance of the school's event was a grudge match of class F against class A and it involves few number of old students to get mixed with the new ones.

"Well...the school only needs only a few people per class to motivate them so they can proceed with their school activities with ease."

I immediately grabbed Yuuji's arm and used our morse code with just blinking, hopefully Mitsurini and Hideyoshi wouldn't notice it.

"Oi Yuuji! Is it ok to lie like that?"

"Don't worry, Akihisa! Isn't this one of that damn old granny's plot?"

Now that he mentions it, it is that damn old granny's plan to make it sound like a simple event just to get us here.

"Yea...but what are we gonna do if we keep on lying like this?"

"Relax Akihisa, don't forget who you're talking to."

I can only let Yuuji do what he does best in this since he's good at convincing people. But the others seem to have doubts in the case that only a few of F class joined in it. Will this go well in the end?

Walking down in these halls are nostalgic. It's been 2 years since I last saw the 2nd year floor...I wonder if it got better.

Slowly arriving in the door of the current 2-F I get the feeling the aura at the classroom gets darker and darker.

"HIROSHIMA ESCAPED! CODE RED! I REPEAT, CODE RED!"

Code red...code red... If I can remember, this is an FFF code situation that one of the members...

Ding! Dong! Ding!

A school chime rang distracted our attention and we decided listen to the announcement.

"To all FFF members, we have confirmed that Hiroshima indeed had an affair with a girl from C class and thus violated our laws! BURN THE HERETIC! I REPEAT, BURN HIM TO THE GROUND!"

Yup...that's code red stands for...I forgot there's supposed to be another punishment asides death that it was a reason why I tried to grab Yuuji as soon as , the voice wasn't as hoarse like Hideyoshi's, did they use a voice synthesizer? An accomplice?

My thoughts were cut short when we then a bang on the classroom door and soon after, out comes what we assume to be Hiroshima-kun and the rest of the FFF in their gear. I somehow empathize that kid.

"My my, looks like it's as lively as before. I just hope the FFF doesn't involve us, the senpais."

"Come to think of it, Akihisa, weren't you being chased by the FFF a lot before?"

I'd wish Hideyoshi wouldn't say that with a straight face.

"Why won't we just go inside?"

"G-good idea, Yuuji."

Nice save. I think I owe him...just a bit.

We marched on to the room and opened the door.

Class 2-F,its time to meet your senpais.

Wooosh!(Sound of the breezing wind)

"Ara! Looks like everyone's out."

"...just like old times."

The school may look that the building's new but class 2-F still has the worst educational equipment it had since our time: old chabudais, worn out cushions, and the same moldy and smelly tatamis.

Usually since most class are guys, the 3 ladies were left behind during FFF activities. Looks like this year, class 2-F is an all-men's class.

Guess we'll have to wait for them to come back. We sat down and did some things while waiting for them to come back. That'll be also be in another story to be told.

"Huh? Yoshii? Sakamoto? You again?! What are you idiots up to here now?"

Appeared to us from the class door is none other than the school's hellish muscle-bound teacher in remedial class, Ironman.

"Guh! I-Ironman! And why is it always me who gets blame-guah! HELP! HELP!"

"Firstly, don't call me Ironman for the last time, I'm Nishimura-sensei. Secondly, you two are the worst students I met since you guys been studying here so I am cautiously keeping an eye on you."

"Ngh! Don't group me with this idiot! Anyways, we're here for the school event. Didn't the principal tell you?"

Every moment is precious here now, if he doesn't believe us, our heads will be crushed like empty cans. But thankfully, were saved this time as our heads were intact when being placed down.

"Ah...so today we fix 'that' huh... Alright, I'll go get them."

Few moments later, after Ironman came out of the class room, he came back with the whole class F were brought in with their FFF uniform on. HE STILL HAVEN'T DULLED?! Now it's even scarier to think about facing Ironman head on because we graduated from the school.

"Let us go, Nishi-sensei! We must purify our inquisition by eliminating the heretic."

Nishi? I guess Ironman's real name can be punted in a way to Nessie. Guess these F class are a bit smarter than we used to. And again with the high note voice, does these guys really have Mitsurini's voice changer? I can't feel it is though.

"I have high respect for you, Haruka-chan. But as F class, you are the worst idiots of the school and as your homeroom teacher, I cannot allow such action made by your class to reach the other classes."

I remembered being called bunch of idiots, but did he just called the somewhat leader as "-chan?" Does Ironman have a kid after we left?!

"Huh? Who's that idiot looking gramps?"

"Eh? Who's the idiot?"

"Akihisa...I think he's referring to you."

"Thy cannot reject his answer."

"...it's a matter of fact."

"Baka onii-chan's really famous just from his looks."

"It's because of that idiot face that you're known as an idiot, Aki."

"Hihi...Akihisa-kun, you're still an idiot, huh."

Kuh! To be told an idiot several times by your friends...its torture, and Himeji-san gave me the final blow. Grampa, I think I'll go meet up with you.

Ironman, let them down and they returned to their seats still in their FFF uniform. Do they plan on attacking while someone's in front of them?!

"These are your idiotic senpais who, several times before, faced class A of their batch. And today, there here to aid you b-"

"I can handle this."

As Yuuji gestured Ironman to halt his introduction to us as he preps himself.

"Oi oi! Sakamoto, are you sure you don't need to? This isn't the same F-class you have encountered in your years."

Not the same F-class? As far as I can remember, the F-class from our time until when we graduated were all idiotic, down low, virgin guys who were satisfied with just material things. So how can this be different?

"As long as we're F class, our thoughts are the same."

Yuuji gave off his usual confidence. Even I can't see what's wrong with this picture. He walks up to the front and asked us to line up beside him as we all listen to his speech.

"Listen to me! We are your senpais who faced A class of our batch several times and even went against our seniors, and against the teachers of this school.

As far as I can say, we are far experienced in wars against you guys. And so, I have a proposal to offer to all of you..."

His words are true I can't remember when we won against the third years or class A but I do know that we had encountered a lot of wars that gave us a lot of experience and we do things different from what the other levels think of.

"We will aid you guys if you declare war against class A. With our experience and your determination, we ca-"

"Hold up!"

A voice came from the seat close to us. It seemed to be Haruka-san still wearing their hood. I think they're too loyal to it to become a uniform.

"We didn't became class F because we just happened to, we became class F because we want to."

"EEEEHH?!"

What's going on? What just happened?! All of us were stunned because of what Haruka-san said.

We became class F because we are idiots during the placement exam except for Himeji-san who was a class A candidate. But why do these guys, so bluntly, said that they just came to class F on purpose?!

"W-what are you saying?!"

Looks like Yuuji is as lost as the rest of us. Because this is truly unexpected.

"What we're saying is that, these class F aren't your ordinary class F. We are a group who maintained the purity of the FFF and followed it in the view of our senpai.

And thus, in order to form that inquisition, we must be pure and as a member of class F. Therefore, we had to make ourselves be dumb enough to get in here."

I understand that the FFF inquisition are for class F but that is for us to watch each other incase someone left towards adulthood so early.

Ironman is right, this is not your ordinary F class. So who are these people?!

"Ahem! Allow me to explain, Haruka-chan here is a class A candidate who scored low for that purpose."

"EEEEEEHHH?!"

It did clarified some doubts but more doubts

came in.

"What the?! Isn't his situation same as Himeji-san."

"No, I was the one who watched some of them in the placement exam. She was in good condition when she took the test. And it's for them to choose what class they want to be in"

"Eh?! So that means..."

"Correct, idiot-senpai."

Guu...cocky, but he has something to back himself up. He's really unlike Himeji-san, Kirishima-san and Kubo-san.

"We tried to resist ourselves to answer correctly in the placement exam except Hiroshima-kun who is a genuine idiot of this class. But he also joined the FFF on his own accord so punishment shall be dealt accordingly.""

"KILL HIM! BURN THE HERETIC! WE MUST NOT LET HIM LIVE!"

The roar and the dark aura of the members succumbed the whole room(just like old times) towards the single person. And it seems like Hiroshima-kun, whom isn't in the FFF gear, the only one who kept quiet...guess that's true that almost all of them want to go to class F purposely but still...

"Why joining the FFF? Being smart has its perks, you know. And besides, the only thing the FFF's function was maintaining single and virgin throughout highschool."

Haruka-san then stood up infront of us and replied with a proud answer.

"Its because of that we wanted to join this inquisition! People don't understand what's like to be lonely, unnoticed, not special...that's why this inquisition was passed down to us from our senpais. And we are determined to stay as it is for our purity."

"These guys..."

Yuuji muttered, I guess his words weren't enough to be convince class F to join us in this war. We can't go on war if there's no war to go on. But why is that high tone still be heard? This has been bugging me still. I didn't know then that that doubt will be cleared as all of the FFF members grab hold onto their hoods.

"As the class rep of the Class F and president of the FFF, we thank you but decline the offer you gave us as we already have what we need."

They all took off their hoods and t-...

"EHHH?!"

"Oi oi! Are you sure you all purposely went to class F to be in the FFF inquisition."

"Onee-chan, aren't they all?!"

"I don't know what's going on either Hazuki."

"What hast this batch came to?"

"...unbelievable."

"Is there really wrong about this, everyone?"

If Himeji-san didn't compare the obvious, I'd say she's in denial...furthermore, WHAT THE HELL?! IS THIS REALLY CLASS 2-F?! IS THE WORLD COMING TO AN END?!

Author's comment:

Thank you for reaching this far. Starting here, the OCs will be made by me or by someone else, because...yeah, can't have a summoning battle without the names of the student. You can add in your OC if you want just contact me and ill try to squeeze in. These OCs will only be limited to this story and the side story I'm predicting probably 6-10 to be used because this will only be focused on the gang.

Again, thank you and here's my present.
