Kiyoshi's future is on the line. Now he faces the most unfair of judgment on him. Who will he turn to in his dire needs? Things are heating up in this conclusion of the Breakout Arc…
-Underground Student Council Office-
The clock reads six o'clock. The fearsome underground council president sat on her desk patiently, waiting for Meiko to bring in Kiyoshi for his expulsion. The raven-haired teen looks at the paper in her hand with her usual glare.
Sitting patiently on one of the couches on the other side of the room, Hana was busy drinking her tea. Her eyes looked back to the door and back to Mari who was holding the paper in her hand.
"She should be coming at any moment now….." Hana said as she broke the silence between the two.
"She'll be coming…..knowing that she left early."
"Still though, I can't believe we're gonna use this method of getting rid of Kiyoshi. Kind of sneaky if you ask me."
"Is that a problem?"
"Nah. Not really. Just surprised that you went with this method. Wonder if we use this method on the other boys." Hana snickered at the thought of the other boys being expelled.
Mari shook her head. "It wouldn't be possible. The boys would need to break a rule to be expelled from this school. Kiyoshi happens to be the unfortunate victim of peeping on my little sister, but also has the galls to sneak into the bath house naked." She said with a growl.
Hana took a moment or so in her own thoughts. Kiyoshi has caused quite the uproar prior and during his time in prison. He and the other boys decided to peep on the girls in the bath house; she remembered finding the other four naked on the rooftop, just above the bath. Then there was the time, while in prison.
She remembered clearly what happened between him and her. The time when Kiyoshi peeped on her peeing. She had not forgiven him for that moment and planned to get even with him by seeing him pee. That ended in a rather…interesting experience. Hana could still remember their little scruffle from before, that moment when she tried to see his genitals and get him to pee. It frustrated her how it ended…but she wouldn't lie that she felt something else.
Hana cheeks flushed red, quickly shaking any thoughts of Kiyoshi. She couldn't tell Mari or Meiko about what happened. Despite them becoming suspicious, she had to keep this to herself.
Her thoughts were broken when Meiko entered through the door. And behind her was the exact boy who was on her mind. Kiyoshi.
"I brought him." Meiko said as she stepped to the side, with Kiyoshi stepping inside.
The boy took a moment to look around in the room, and noticed the President who glared at him from her desk. He could take a guess that she was still upset with him. Not that he wouldn't blame her, he did do wrong on his end. And to her own little sister.
His eyes then wondered about and flinched when he noticed Hana. The boy's eyes quickly shifted the other way, hoping not to look directly at the blonde female student who glared right back at him with such intensity.
"Out of all the people in the world I had to meet again, it was her!" He thought in his mind. "M-Maybe there's a chance that she doesn't remember! Y-Yeah! Just maybe!"
He wanted to believe that she doesn't remember their previous incident, but with Hana, that is not a guarantee, solid yes. She remembered. And she will not forget.
"Kiyoshi Fujino." Mari broke the silence getting the boy's attention. She gestured her hand over to the empty couch in front of him. "Please. Have a seat."
Kiyoshi wasted no time as he took his seat on the couch. Not wanting to make Mari anymore angrier than he already did. Trying to still avoid eye contact with Hana, which did not go unnoticed by her.
"Is he really trying to avoid eye contact with me?"
Mari got up from her with the paper in hand and went towards the chair in front of her. She is now sitting right across from Kiyoshi with the table separating them. She sets the paper down and pushes it towards Kiyoshi's direction. Her facial expression is unchanging.
"Now then," She said, gaining his attention. "Put your name down here."
"Huh?"
The boy was unsure what she was talking about. Curious, he looks at the paper, causing him to raise a brow. The paper read: Expulsion Petition. Was this her method of kicking him out?
"Y-You want me to leave by myself?"
"Yes." Mari said with a narrowed gaze.
"Um…I-I thought you would've just kicked me out….." He said with a questionable tone.
For a quick moment, he found the collar of his jumpsuit being grabbed by Meiko's hand. The amazon beauty raised him up on his feet, her eyes enraged as he looked dead in his eyes.
"That would be the obvious choice considering the crimes that you commited!" She bursts.
"That's enough, Vice President," Mari quickly interjected, causing the teenager to flinch. "There is no need to threaten him."
"Y-Yes ma'am!" She said as she quickly let go of him, causing him to roughly land back on the couch.
Mari's attention returned back to Kiyoshi's. "However, she is right. We would have kicked you out. But in case you are not aware. This is for your sake."
"Huh? W-What do you mean?"
"True. You and the boys peeped on the girls together. But you are a more…..rarer case." She said her eyes narrowed at him. "Think about it, you are the only boy who was within the bath house, bathing in with a large number of girls. Rumors like that would start to spread. In fact, I think it's already spreading as it is."
Kiyoshi felt cold sweat dripping against his skin. Trembling in his seat. No doubt that rumor would start spreading of him actually being caught within the bath house with a bunch of girls. His thoughts couldn't help but to linger back to what Chiyo said to him.
Disgusting.
"She's right you know," Hana broke in. Gaining half of his attention. "Are you willing to live with that? For three whole years, everyone will start treating you differently…..like a disgusting freak." Hana said with a mischievous smile.
Kiyoshi shuddered. That is the last thing he wanted. It was bad enough with Chiyo, but with the whole school treating him as such, he wouldn't know how to live with himself. He wouldn't have anyone else to support him. Maybe Matsuri, but he didn't want Matsuri to suffer with him. Nor the boys, he would have to suffer alone.
Mari moves her hand over to her breast pocket to take out her pen. "Exactly. Therefore, it is for your sake. Instead of spending three years here where you will be treated as a perverted freak. I think it would be better for you to be somewhere else. Where people don't know about your tendency."
Mari spoke casually with an attempted sympathetic tone. Uncapping the pen and placing the cap on the bottom before giving it to him.
"Sign it. And you will be free."
….
Complete silence. Kiyoshi with the pen in hand. The pen just hovered over the form which was still blank. Nothing written in stone. All three of the council were giving him the death stare, waiting for him to complete the form. Then he would be ridden for good.
Kiyoshi however, was not exactly feeling motivated. His eyes looked dead as he stared at the blank form in front of him. Making the ultimate decision in his life.
"They're right…if I sign this form now…..then I would be free. From the harassment, me being a total outcast. I would be able to go to a different school, where people don't know about my incident."
He thought to himself. He would be free from all the trouble. But what about…..
"But what about my friends….will they be okay in this school? And Matsuri. Sure he didn't peeped, but he still helped me…..and I just let him down. And what about Chiyo….I at least want to make my apology to her. I….I just can't let things end like this. I need to….I need to give Chiyo my most sincere apology."
"What's the hold up?" Mari broke the silence. Her eyes dangerously glared at him. "Sign it."
"...u-um…c-can I have a request."
Mari's eyes twitched at his question, all he was doing was stalling time. "What is it?" She growled.
"I…..I want to apologize to Chiyo-chan."
Meiko growled. "You wish to apologize to the same girl whom you dare taint with your disgusting eyes!"
"B-But it was all by accident! There's a misunderstanding with this!"
"Oh~. Is there a misunderstanding," Hana said. "From the way I see it. It looks like you were really desperate to get a peek at Chiyo."
"N-No! It's not like that at all!"
"Then what is it then?" Mari interjected with a snarl, losing her patient with the boy. "Are you saying that you and the other boys were not there to peep on the girls. Are you saying that it wasn't your plan to take advantage of Chiyo just for you to be in the bath with her and the other students? Is that it?"
"I-I didn't mean to peep on Chiyo-chan at all! It was a misunderstanding!"
"THEN WHY WERE YOU IN THE BATH HOUSE THEN AND LIE TO MY SISTER ABOUT YOUR DEEDS!?"
Kiyoshi shuddered. Trembling in his seat. It's like he was being backed up to a corner. He had no one to rely on. But he needed to clear things up with Chiyo. He wants to desperately give a proper apology.
"Please…I know I did wrong. I'm not asking for an excuse. And I'm not asking for forgiveness. All I just want is to apologize to Chiyo-chan."
"Out of the question." Mari bluntly said. "I will make sure that your message is sent. But right now, I need you to sign the form."
Kiyoshi frowned at that. His eyes look back at the paper. His hand has still not moved from the spot. Cold sweat dripped against his skin.
Just as he was about to move his hand. The door swung open!
"Sis!"
The group looked towards the door with a range of reactions. All three of the council (Kiyoshi included) held shocked expressions on their faces. They were not expecting Chiyo, of all people, to be present within the council office.
And who happened to be behind her was the temporary male member, Matsuri Hitoyoshi.
"Matsuri….." Meiko thought to herself with a breath.
"Chiyo? What are you ..." Mari asked with a baffled expression.
"I heard Kiyoshi-kun was getting expelled! What's going on!?"
"C-Chiyo-chan…..Matsuri….."
Matsuri's eyes wandered over to the form that was in front of Kiyoshi. He reads the title Expulsion Petition. "She's gonna expel him by force?"
"That's….so it was true!" Chiyo said as she angrily looked at Mari.
"What are you two doing here!?" Mari asked as she looked at the two. Especially making a glare at Matsuri, sensing he's the reason why Chiyo is here in the first place.
"Why is Kiyoshi-kun getting expelled just for peeping on me! And to top it off, you're forcing him!" She said as she sat next to a baffled Kiyoshi and took the paper from him.
Mari scowled at her. "Do not treat me as the bad guy here! He chose the expulsion for himself. And besides, he's not just being expelled for being in the girls' bath house but also for the illegal relationship!"
"I can understand the peeping bit, but what I don't understand is the illegal relationship! If he's getting expelled for that, then should it also involve me as well!?" Chiyo angrily burst at her sister.
"You're the victim here! You went to the sumo match after being ensnared by him!"
"I WAS NOT! I INVITED HIM!"
Mari snapped. "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THIS SCUMBAG! ARE YOU NOT MAD ABOUT HIM PEEPING ON YOU! DO YOU NOT FEEL TAINTED BY THIS BEAST DISGUSTING WAYS!?"
Matsuri tried to keep his attention on the scene, but he felt a bit out of place throughout this conversation. He would have a word for this, but he felt that Chiyo and only Chiyo would have to resolve this on her own somehow. If she could.
"I am mad…."
The room fell silent for a split second. Mari looks at her sister. "What?"
"If you're mad, then why are you trying to defend Kiyoshi," Hana asked with a narrowed glare at Chiyo. "This bastard lied straight to your face about the peeping incident and you're defending him."
"...he did lie. But getting expelled for something so little such as that…..is completely wrong!"
"Chiyo-chan….." Kiyoshi whispered.
"And besides…" Chiyo turned to look at Kiyoshi with a shameful expression. "I'm sure there was a misunderstanding with me catching you in the bath house. I can't say that I'm too pleased with you peeping in the bath house, but I feel I need to at least hear you out. Is that a problem, sis?"
"..." Mari sighed to herself with an annoyed expression. "Fine. But I doubt it's anything good."
"Kiyoshi-kun…in the bath house…why were you in the changing room?"
"..." Kiyoshi had tears in his eyes, his lips quivered with a shameful expression. "Chiyo-chan….yes, I was peeping with the boys, but as for me in the changing room, I was only in there to retrieve my phone that I found out they were using."
"A likely story." Hana said with a doubtful look.
"But it's true!" Kiyoshi said as he looked at Hana and back at Chiyo. "Chiyo-chan! You don't have to believe me in any of this if you still feel distrusted. But I never intended to peep on you! I would never go that far! When my friends said that we were going to peep in the first year, I panicked because I found out that you were in the same year as me! I couldn't go through with it."
"If you truly did feel bad," Mari interjected. "Then why didn't YOU stop them." She said as her eyes were only on Kiyoshi (and not Matsuri).
At this point, Matsuri raised his hand to intervene. Immediately feeling the stare on him, he blushed as his eyes batted the other way. "T-Their motto was, death to all traitors…I heard them say it before t-they left."
"He's right!" Kiyoshi quickly said before Mari could question Matsuri. "I wanted to stop that whole operation….but then I happened to see Chiyo-chan going the other way, I thought she was done."
"Let me guess," Mari said as she pinched her brow. "You immediately went back to your perverted ways and decided to go ahead and peep on the girls."
Kiyoshi bit his lips. He needed to come clean. "Y-Yes…it's true."
"So I assume you wanted to protect Chiyo innocent from the others, am I right?"
"...yes. Again, you don't have to believe me. But I'm being completely honest here. I never intended to go that far. And I feel terrible just thinking about what I've done," He looks over to Chiyo. "Chiyo-chan…..you have every right to be mad at me. I deserve it. But I just want to say that, I never wanted to take a andavagte of you. I'm very sorry for my actions."
The room fell silent as Chiyo's face was being covered by her hair. She has heard every word he had to say. Now the choice comes down to what her reply is going to be. Of course, Mari had something to say…..
"Just as I said. Chiyo. You do not need to feel any sympathy for this trash. He's nothing more than a filthy beast who only knows his ways through lying. The only redemption for him is expulsion."
Kiyoshi's expression fell, believing the president's words. There was no road to redemption for him in this school. Not anymore. There was only one way out and that was out of this school.
Matsuri desperately wanted to say something about this, but he couldn't find the words nor the courage to say anything. His eyes darted back and forth, memories started to rush through his thoughts. The boy desperately tried his best to make himself invincible so no one could see the trouble he was facing. He desperately bit his lips to calm himself, but he couldn't rid the negative thoughts from his mind.
Meiko however, took note of Matsuri's dilemma. She knew the boy too well that he was starting to suffer from his own crippling problem again.
"Mari…" Chiyo finally broke the silence. "I'm sorry…..but I have to disagree with you."
"...what?" Mari asked with a baffled expression.
Chiyo looked up with a firm glare. "I don't think Kiyoshi-kun should be expelled from this school."
"C-Chiyo-chan….."
Mari bit her lip. Stopping herself from yelling. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that Kiyoshi-kun deserves a second chance. Right here, in Hachimitsu academy."
Matsuri stopped his tremble and looked at Chiyo and back at Kiyoshi. She truly was an angel. A bit too nice, but he couldn't say much either considering he's similar.
"No."
"Sis!"
"I said no! I will not allow this beast to stay here in this school. He manipulated you and engaged into an illegal relationship with you to top it off! You do not need to feel any sort of feeling for a man like him."
Chiyo bit her lip, trying to keep calm in this situation. She looks back at her sister with glare. "T-Then…..if he leaves…..then I will leave as well!" She said, shocking everyone in the room.
"C-Chiyo…." Matsuri whispered in a low voice.
"Don't be ridiculous." Mari said as she lowered her head.
However, to everyone's shock, Chiyo did the next unthinkable action. She reached for the pen and paper and immediately went on signing the form.
"CHIYO STOP!" Mari panicked. Just what got into her!?
"NO CHIYO!" Meiko rushes over and grabs Chiyo arm, preventing it from writing any further. Giving Hana some time to snatch the paper away from her.
"LET ME GO, MEIKO!"
Mari gritted her teeth at her sister. "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THIS TRASH! YOU NEED TO STOP BEING SO OPTIMISTIC."
"Kiyoshi-kun is not trash! He's a good person!" Chiyo yelled from her spot. "If he really is a terrible person, he would never save that baby crow that fell from its nest!"
Mari's eyes widened for a second. She remembered that Chiyo did say that Kiyoshi saved a baby crow and put it back into its nest. Granted, it was only Chiyo who said that, she didn't think anyone else would see it aside from her…..unless…
"Hitoyoshi."
Matsuri flinched from her sudden attention to him.
"Is this true? Did you happen to see this moment that Chiyo described."
Matsuri took a moment to process, trying to shake the feeling that everyone was now watching him. "Yes…..I saw it happen as well. Chiyo is telling the truth."
"Are you sure?"
"Y-Yes, I'm telling the truth. Both me and Chiyo saw Kiyoshi put the baby crow back in its nest before the incident-EEP!" Matsuri squeaked before he could cover his mouth with a heavy blush.
Mari raised a brow. "Incident? What incident?"
Matsuri looked at Kiyoshi whose skin was pale with cold sweat dripping against his skin. He then looked over at Hana who wore an unreadable expression, but her face said it all as she looked at him with killer intent. He quickly looked back at Mari.
"I-I mean! He fell from the t-tree and injured himself! But it was just a minor injury!"
"Injury? I don't remember such reports?" Meiko said with a confused look.
"H-He didn't want to bother anyone, that's all!"
Mari and Meiko just looked at him with raised eyebrows. The boy was being secretive again. But now was not the time to dwell on such matters, it would have to come later after they deal with Kiyoshi.
Speaking of the boy, Kiyoshi was trembling in his seat, beads of sweat dripping against his skin as his eyes were shaking in fear. Feeling a familiar aura in his presence across from his seat. He slowly looked to his left and immediately regretted when he found Hana eyes, with her bangs shadowing over half of her face as she stared at Kiyoshi with an intense glare. Her eyes shook with rage.
"I didn't tell him! I swear! He just happened to be there!"
"I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill. I'M GONNA KILL YOU AND HIM!"
Matsuri was aware of the glare he was getting and tried his best not to look her way. But he knew he was already on Hana's kill list and he was not well prepared.
"I don't believe it." Mari said, bringing the conversation back at hand. She got up from her seat and walked over to her desk. "I don't believe it for a second."
"But he did!"
"I'm sure you must have imagined it!" Mari grabbed another form and placed it on the desk. Her eyes on Kiyoshi. "Kiyoshi! Sign this paper now!"
"...I…..I won't sign it."
"What!?"
"I won't sign it!" Kiyoshi said with a glare. "Yes. I did peep and yes I'm a terrible person! But after what happened for the past few days, I came to the conclusion! I want to seek redemption!"
"D-Don't be ridiculous! You will never find redemption! After everything you've done! You are willing to suffer here in this school even more!"
"I know. But I swear to myself that I will become a decent human being, no. Not a decent human being…..an honorable man."
"You….!?" Mari gritted her teeth.
"You can hate me all you want. And I can take any pain that I will get from the girls of this school. But I wasn't bluffing when I said that I will become an honorable man, I really mean it. I will become the most honorable man that you will see!"
Mari curled her hand into a fist. She was not intending on backing out anytime soon. She will expel this boy from the school, whether Chiyo likes it or not, Kiyoshi will not be permitted to stay here any longer.
Before another word could be spoken, they heard a clap by the door. They all turned to see the chairman standing by the door with his back against the doorway.
"That is well said young…..man!"
"C-Chairman…" Matsuri whispered.
"Father!?" Chiyo exclaimed in surprise.
"Father!?" Kiyoshi thought in panic.
Mari grinded her teeth. It was just one problem after another. "And why are you here….chairman?"
"A little bird told me that Kiyoshi was getting expelled. And I couldn't just sit by and let this continue on with this pointless…struggle!" He said with his glare at his eldest daughter.
Kiyoshi was taking a moment to look between Mari, Chiyo, and the Chairman. He felt a rather strange presence within the room. Mostly between the three of them. He leaned next to Chiyo's ear.
"C-Chiyo…..is the Chairman, you and the president related?"
"Yeah. The Chairman is our father."
"HUH!?"
Kiyoshi looked over at Matsuri for any confirmation. The boy nodded at him, he already knew all of this straight away. When he first met the Chairman, he got a good idea that they were all related when Chiyo revealed that they were sisters. Surprising, yes. He just didn't know how to say this to Kiyoshi.
"Mari," The Chairman started. "I'm aware that you are upset about Kiyoshi peeping on Chiyo within the bath house. But to go as far to expel him for an illegal relationship and the peeping in addition is going...extreme!"
"I was merely looking out for not just Chiyo sake. But all of the students sake as well. That goes for Kiyoshi too." Mari said her brow furrowed at her father.
"Even so. Expelling someone by force is not an option for the Underground council," He said as he made his way to the table and grabbed the form. His eyes skims through the paper, his frown deepening. "Expulsion should only be for a teacher's conference. This is something that a student should not decide for…..themselves!"
Mari fist curled even tighter. She was getting nowhere with this at all. It was all supposed to be simple. Kiyoshi was going to sign the form and leave the school. That would be one less boy problem for them as a whole, but since Chiyo and Matsuri came in, everything was thrown out of whack. Then came the chairman.
"I and the other teachers decide on whether Kiyoshi gets to stay or not. Not….you!"
"You…."
"Kiyoshi!" The chairman's attention was on Kiyoshi who bolted right up. "You wish to stay in this school. Is that…correct?"
"Y-Yes sir! I was serious when I wanted to redeem myself! Not just for Chiyo-chan sake, but for me as well! It's true, I should've just listened to Matsuri, I'm not gonna let that happen again. I vow to myself that I will redeem myself while I'm at this academy!"
The Chairman closed his eyes for a moment as he processed what he told him. Granted he heard all of this before the moment he came in. But he wanted to make sure that Kiyoshi did not change his mind at the last minute. Seeing the boy stuck true to his words.
He made his way over to Kiyoshi and stopped a few inches from him. He then raised his hand and settled on his shoulder. "You will not be expelled."
A mix of reactions spread throughout the room. Kiyoshi was relieved that he could stay at the school. But it would mean he would have to work hard in order to gain not just the school, but Chiyo's trust. Matsuri and Chiyo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Kiyoshi will not be expelled. However, the Underground council members were not all pleased.
Meiko began to sweat as she grabbed her arm tighter. She knew that the president was not all too pleased with this outcome. Hana just stared at her cup with a not happy expression. Not pleased with the results, but could mean that she can take her revenge on Kiyoshi later. But of course it would be private.
Mari was the most affected with this. She did not approve of this one bit with Kiyoshi. She held herself in place, trying to keep herself from losing it. She still has not forgiven him and will never see him fit for this school.
"However," The Chairman spoke again. "You broke the rule of an illegal relationship, for that you will have to be punished. Do you under…..stand!"
"Y-Yes sir." Kiyoshi said with a bow.
"Mari."
Mari released a sigh, pinching the bridge between her eyes. "For something like that, he will remain in prison for one week. The boys will be released tomorrow. However, Kiyoshi's sentence will be extended. Is that fair, Chairman."
"Yes. I will accept…..that."
Mari just scoffed the other way. "Vice President, Hana!"
"Y-Yes ma'am!" Meiko said with a flinch under her skin.
"Take Kiyoshi back to his cell. We are done for today."
"Understood."
Meiko opened the door to allow the Chairman to leave first, but stopped at the doorway. "Mari…..later I want to have a word with you."
"...fine." Mari said in a low whisper.
Many of the people who crowded the room now left. Leaving her alone to her thoughts. The President got up from her seat and looked outside the window, where the sun was almost setting. Creating a dusk twilight. The many crows in the sky flew above, filling the silent void with their sound.
Mari was reflecting on the event that occurred just a few minutes ago. She was not all pleased with not expelling Kiyoshi, but she wouldn't say that she was…..impressed. Just a little.
She was not expecting Chiyo to fight for his sake. She was way too naive of the dangers that men posed. Making her an easy target for men to manipulate her innocence and just pretend to act all nice and upstanding. Deep down they were all the same. Of course, save for one who remained a mystery to her.
"Anyone who loves baby crows can't be all bad, huh…."
She shook her head. Today was very tiring for her. "I just need to talk with my father…then I need some moment to think."
-Prison Block-
The boys were all eating their lunches quietly. All four of them patiently tried to wait for any message from the outside. Hoping that Kiyoshi has not been expelled. Or in the worst case scenario…
"It sure is taking a while. I'd imagine that they already expelled him earlier." Andre said with a curious tone.
"Perhaps something came up." Gakuto said.
Shingo just focused on his food. Trying not to join in the conversation. Deep down he was just as worried as he was constantly tapping his heel on the ground.
"H-Hey, Shingo man." Jo nudged the boy. "Could you not tap your foot on the ground constantly."
"Huh? O-Oh….sorry." Shingo said as he seized his tapping. He looked the other way with a glum look.
"Shingo-dono," Gakuto brought his attention. "Are you perhaps still worried about Kiyoshi-dono?"
"...ugh. I can't relax man!" He said as he roughly scratched his head. "I'm trying my best not to lose it, but how can I relax knowing that he's getting expelled!"
"Pray, calm down Shingo-dono. We have yet to hear anything from the council members, or even Matsuri-dono. Perhaps something came up."
"I agree with Gakuto," Andre said with an optimistic look. "I'm sure that they're still discussing what to do with him."
"Indeed." Gakuto said as he pushed his glasses up. "We all must remain optimistic about this. Keep our spirits up. If Kiyoshi-dono were to be expelled, then we must not let his sacrifice be in vain."
The boys looked amongst each other. Gakuto was right. This was not the time for them to be down in the dumps.
"True. Kiyoshi-dono is facing possible expulsion, but just because he's gone, doesn't mean that we must give up. In fact, this should give us some leeway."
"How so?"
"Think for a moment, Kiyoshi-dono is our comrade, our brother-in-arms, our most reliable ally. If Kiyoshi-dono were to see us now, that would mean we are going back on our words and letting Kiyoshi-dono down!"
"You're right. Even if Kiyoshi were to get expelled, we're not gonna mope about it all day! We gotta live up to our words and forge our path to become honorable men!" Shingo said with a fist in the air. His eyes fired up with passion.
Gakuto stopped his speech when they heard the door by the entrance open.
They all looked straight at the door, hearing the familiar footsteps of council members. Similar expressions frozen on all of their faces as they patiently waited for the reveal of the news. Their hearts thumping against their chest.
Walking up towards the cell, Meiko and Hana were the first. With the amazon vice president unlocking the door and sliding it open. She stepped aside and allowed one more person to step in.
All of the boy's expressions changed to shock and awe as they looked upon the familiar blue-haired figure who walked in with a small smile on his face.
Kiyoshi stepped in with confidence as he took notice of all of the boys standing from their seat and their looks when they found him standing right in front of them. The boy smiled at them.
"Uh…..I-I'm back."
"No way…you….you didn't get expelled!?" Shingo said with a mix of confusion, but the smile on his lips did not fade.
"Kiyoshi-dono! You truly are alive!" Gakuto said as he rushed up to Kiyoshi and wrapped up in a hug. Causing Kiyoshi to almost fall.
The others followed suit as they all glomped on him with a hug. Andre, with his weight, threw himself on all of them and caused them to topple over. But did not mind the pain (even though it hurted) they all just laughed it off.
Meiko and Hana watched on the scene, still not pleased with Kiyoshi staying, but did leave an impression on them. Hana's eyes were more particularly on Kiyoshi as he was enjoying his moment, but still was plotting her vengeance on the boy. Meiko on the other hand, while she was not pleased, a small smirk graced her lips at the scene. But hid it from anyone around her who would see it.
Meiko took a deep breath, moving her hand under bosom. "Alright, listen up you scumbags!"
The boys immediately seized their celebration. All of them shot up in the air with their hands sticking to their sides. Looking straight at the Vice President.
"Shingo, Gakuto, Andre, and Jo! You four will be released from prison starting tomorrow."
That got all four of them to raise an eyebrow.
"Um….q-question." Shingo asked.
"Permitted."
"Um….w-what about Kiyoshi?"
"I was getting to that." She said as she continued. "Kiyoshi's sentence has been extended to one week. Since he broke one of the rules of engaging in illegal relationship with the opposite sex."
The boy breathed out some relief. Granted he was going to be in the prison alone for one week, but at least it wasn't anything drastic or dire. Knowing that Kiyoshi will be fine and will be ready to get out in the next couple of days, eased their worries.
"Any more questions," She asked, with all of them shaking their heads. "Good. I will come back in a few hours and transfer you all to bed."
"Yes ma'am!"
On that note, the two left the room. With Hana being the last person behind Meiko, however, her glance was once again on Kiyoshi. Once again giving him the death glare.
"Don't think I forgot what you did to me, you bastard." She said in her thoughts.
Kiyoshi swallowed his fear, fully understanding her threat.
On that note, the two left the inmates alone.
"So, what happened?" Shingo was the first to ask.
"Huh?"
"You know, how did you avoid being expelled?"
"Oh right, well….."
Kiyoshi spent the next few minutes explaining to them how he managed to narrowly avoid being expelled. All of them gathering the information and reflecting on his story.
Gakuto brought a hand to his chin. "I see. Such a miracle that you had help from the outside."
"I'll say. You narrowly dodged a bullet there man." Shingo said with a smile.
"Y-Yeah…..it was all thanks to Chiyo and Matsuri's intervention in the whole expulsion. I thought I was done for."
"Indeed. But now here you are, alive and well. Granted, you are going to remain in prison for another week, but it is much better than facing any other worst outcomes." Gakuto said with a sigh of relief. "Thank the three lords for your safety."
"Since Kiyoshi is here, should we include him in our operation?" Andre asked.
Kiyoshi's curiosity peaked. "Huh? O-Operation…..you guys aren't planning on another peeping job aren't ya."
"Nay! You are far from the truth, Kiyoshi-dono!" He said with a smile. "We are planning on rebuilding our trust in the women of this school!"
Kiyoshi blinked. This was surprising, he never expected to hear this from the boys. "We're gonna…..rebuild our reputation?"
"Indeed! Once we are all released from prison, that is where the real battle began! The road to redemption will be hard! We will be treated as disgusting perverts, no denying that! But fear not brothers! Let us all make a motto here!"
"You're right." Kiyoshi said as he walked over to the formed circle with confidence in his heart. His eyes were set ablaze. He was ready.
"Let's do this!"
"WE WILL BECOME HONORABLE MEN!"
The boy's emotions were set and ready for the next challenge in the coming future.
-Chairman Office-
7:30pm
"I assume you know why you are here," The Chairman said as he was sitting posed on the chair with half of his face looking out the window. The night sky was covering the sky. "Considering that we did just have a meeting not too long…..ago."
Mari narrowed her eyes on her father, standing in front of his desk. "Just get to what you wanted to talk about with me. I'm not in the mood for your lecture."
The chairman sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Listen Mari. I'm not gonna repeat myself with your biased opinion on the boys, but I more specifically here to talk to you about your reckless actions as of today. Forcing Kiyoshi to expel himself from this school. Care to explain yourself about…this."
"I was merely just doing what was meant to be done."
"Mari."
"I know what you're gonna say. That I was being reckless or too heartless against that scumbag." Mari said her brow furrowed at the man.
"Those. And the fact that you were willing to pull one right over us." The chairman said as he turned to face Mari. His hand clasped over each other, leaning forward on his desk. "Don't you think you're overstepping your boundaries. You may be in charge of running the school disciplinary wise, but you must also remember it is not you who is not in charge of who gets to be expelled. I and the staff are the ones who make the…call!"
"Even so, you still refuse to take action against the boys. True, when they decided to peep on the girls, it was your call to throw them in prison. But you go too easy on them." Mari said with the last bit sounding a little more venom.
"Can't you relax for just a moment and not let your judgment on the boys get the best of you. And perhaps look at these boys in a different light….president."
Mari could only scoff at this. "Those boys have yet to earn my trust. Neither does Hitoyoshi."
The Chairman did not say anything. He would know that it takes a lot to get through to Mari. She has always been stubborn with the boys, especially those who show nothing but kind and gentleness like Matsuri. She has tried almost everything in her power to find out what Matsuri is hiding and it's only gonna get her in trouble in the long run.
He instead just closes his eyes, remaining silent for a few moments. "When you look at Matsuri? What do you see?"
"I'm sorry?" Mari raised a brow. Just what was this man getting at now.
"When you look at Matsuri…what do you…..see?"
"...what are you getting at father?" Mari asked. Only to get a stare from her father. The council president could only roll her eyes. "Obviously a pervert in disguise."
"Is he now? Name one time that Matsuri has shown any lewd action that would classify him as a pervert. Then I will take it all…back."
"True. He has not caused any harm, but that doesn't stop me from seeing him as a potential threat. He even has his eyes on Meiko." Mari said with a bit of scowl but remained calm. "Hana mentioned that he's been keeping his eyes on Meiko lately."
The Chairman hummed for a moment. "Well, Meiko is known for having a rather attractive figure for her age. It would be no surprise for boys to look at her from afar, not even Matsuri is safe from…this."
Mari sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Yes. Meiko does have a figure that would attract any trash. But the idea that Hitoyoshi is starting to look at her makes me uncomfortable."
Mari shudders at the thought of Matsuri, at any given moment will remove his mask and attack Meiko. The idea of Matsuri stripping her naked and taking naked photos of her just to pleasure himself and using them against Meiko. The more she thought about it, the more it just made her frustrated.
"No. Calm down. You're not sure about the true origin of who took those photos."
"Mari?"
Mari shook her head. "Just thinking. Anyways, I assume that is all you wish to speak with me about."
"...all in all, yes. But I wish to advise you….. a warning." The Chairman looked at his daughter. "You may be in charge of keeping the school safe and the agenda of the school activities. However, you are not allowed to overstep your boundaries or I will have to step in and strip you of your…duties."
Mari bit her lips. Her hand squeezed arm in frustration. But she knew that she was overstepping her boundaries, she just didn't want her father finding out. Mari breathed in and exhaled, calming herself before looking at the Chairman.
"I understand…..now if you excuse me. I must be leaving," She said before stopping. "Oh and father….I think it would be wise for you to invest in some blinds."
"Hm?"
The chairman didn't have time to ask her the question before she took her leave. The chairman looked at his screen, which contained the usual. Photo of women's ass and hips, wearing barely anything that covered themselves. He turned on his seat and took note of the mirror reflecting from his screen.
"Oh my…god!"
-Matsuri's Room-
"Wow really! Who knew that Chiyo had it in her!" Etsuko said through the phone. Her face was live on the screen. "Oooo! That gives me an idea for her character! She can be like one of those characters who appears all sweet and kind, but deep down she hides a steel version of herself…"
Matsuri chuckled while listening to his friend's idea of Chiyo's character in her story. His thoughts couldn't help but to go back to the event that happened today. Chiyo was incredible at standing up for Kiyoshi when Mari was forcing him to withdraw from the school. He believed that he wasn't even needed in that situation, since Chiyo had it under control.
However, his expression started to fade when he remembered how Chiyo was braver than he was. Chiyo did everything to prevent her sister from forcing him to leave.
"And what did I do….nothing. I didn't do a single thing. I wanted to say something. I wanted to stand up for him, but…"
Matsuri bit his lips, his hand squeezed into a fist.
"I…I thought that I could actually do something to help but…in the end I didn't do anything. Why…..why am I such a…."
"Matsuri…..Matsuri!"
Matsuri let out a sharp gasp and looked at Etsuko who looked at him with a worried look. The boy quickly wipes the small tears that formed in his eyes. "Uh…..um…..y-yes."
"...you're doing it again."
"Huh?"
"That!" She pointed her thumb at the screen, directly at Matsuri. "You're beating yourself up again, aren't you!"
"N-No I'm not!"
"Matsuri…."
Matsuri's eyes fluttered back and forth at Etsuko and somewhere else. He really didn't want to bother himself with Etsuko, he just found himself to be a waste of time.
"Matsuri…."
"H-Hey, I'm really tired. I'll catch you tomorrow."
Before Etsuko could get a word in, Matsuri already ended the call. The boy immediately felt bad for hanging up on her, but right now she didn't need to waste her time with him. Then again, all he's doing is just pushing those around him away. He groaned as his face hit the pillow. Rubbing his head from left to right.
"Maybe I should've just talked to her….but still…Chiyo was really amazing. Much more than I can say for myself." He said with a hint of somber.
A vivid memory of Yoshimiya rushed through his mind.
Matsuri just scoffed at himself. "Looks like I'm nowhere near as amazing as the others…and I'll never be."
His thoughts are interrupted when he hears a knock at the door. His skin nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard it. His eyes looked at the door for a brief moment before getting off of his bed and walking over to the door. Completely unaware of who it could be at this hour. He twisted the handle and opened the door.
He was surprised to find Meiko standing by the doorway. With her usual stance. Her arms under her massive bosom and her hips thrusted to the side.
"Mei-Vice President!?" He corrected himself, almost calling her by her real name.
"I came here to check up on you." She simply said with no stutter. "The little incident back in the office was…..interesting to say the least. I wasn't sure why you were with Prez's sister."
"O-Oh….um….well s-she needed help with trying to fight for Kiyoshi's right….then again I don't think I was needed anyways." Matsuri said with a low chuckle.
Despite him trying to hide his feelings, Meiko knew too well that he was obviously trying to hide it once more. She rolled her eyes and removed her hands from her bosom and settled one hand on her hip.
"Do you mind if I come in?"
"Huh!?"
Meiko flushed a little at his reaction. "W-What's with the reaction? I just don't want to stand here all day! Plus I wish to speak with you…..i-if that's alright."
"Um…..s-sure. Please come in."
Meiko made her way inside the room. She remembered the last time she visited Matsuri was for investigation reasons, but this time she wishes to just speak with him. Despite visiting his room the first time around, she felt more…nervous this time.
"It feels rather weird that I came here without any hidden agenda…..I'm just in here on my own accord." She said with a hint of nervousness. Now that she's thinking about it, she really did come here on her own. Without the President's input. She brought her hands to her cheeks, shaking her head in place. "C-Calm down Meiko! You're just looking out for him, that's all! There's no need to feel nervous! Ju-Just pretend you're on business, right! Just business! Oooh! Who am I kidding! I'm not on official business! What do I do!?"
Matsuri took notice of Meiko's rather odd movement. His eyes couldn't help but linger on for a while with a blush. He had never seen Meiko like this before. But there are moments when he does catch her off guard. But that's every once in the blue moon, and this was one of them.
Matsuri bit his lip to keep himself from getting distracted. "U-Um…..Vice President."
Meiko let out a squeak and turned around to face him. Her hands were raised in the air near her face. The amazon vice president was making a rather baffled and cute face that made Matsuri's heart skip a beat.
"W-What is it!?" Meiko said with her voice breaking out of character. Finding herself pulling her skirt down to cover herself.
"Um….w-would you like to sit down."
"O-Oh….um….(ahem) um y-yes. Thank you."
Meiko scooted over to his bed, sitting her rear end on the side of the bed. Her hands were still pulling on her skirt to cover herself, even though it was barely doing the job. She felt floods of perspiration traveling down her thighs. She tried to calm herself.
Matsuri pondered for a bit to wonder where he was going to sit before deciding. He moved over to the chair that was near his desk. But before he could sit down….
"Um…" Meiko spoke, grabbing his attention. Her eyes fluttered left and right. Wondering what to say. "Y-You can sit next to me."
"...y-you sure."
"D-Don't make me repeat myself!"
"Yes ma'am!" He shot right up from the chair and came to the bed and sat next to her.
The two sat in silence. Both hearts were thumping at a rapid pace. Matsuri felt his face getting hotter. His hands were kept close to himself, trying to avoid accidentally touching her on any parts of her body. But the more he thought about it, the more it made him nervous.
"I can't calm down…..I still remember that incident from yesterday when I accidently groped her in front of everyone. Just those breasts of hers…" He thought to himself. Opening his left eye as he looked right at Meiko's large bosom as they snuggled right into her uniforms. The pair of watermelons rise and fall in rhythm to her breathing was almost hypnotizing. Just looking at her impressive breasts, he could remember how soft they were when he grabbed them. The warmths he got from them. How loaded they felt under his arms. "Damn it! Don't think about it!"
"Hitoyoshi….."
"Y-Yes!" Matsuri snapped out from his trance and looked at Meiko who was looking at him with a little blush on her cheeks.
"Listen…I wanted to know if you were doing okay from your…almost panic attack."
"Panic attack…oh." Matsuri expression fell. "You saw that, did you?"
"Yes actually." Meiko said, returning to her calmer state, but still felt a little nervous. "When Kiyoshi was giving his speech, it felt like you wanted to say something. But you chose not to say anything. Then after the whole situation, you just dragged yourself back to your room. You looked….dissatisfied to say the least."
Matsuri blink a couple of times before looking the other way. Looking ashamed of himself. "Y….You really do keep an eye on me do you?"
"It's kind of hard not to." Meiko said with a raised brow. Giving him the look.
"...sorry. I guess I wanted to help out Kiyoshi and Chiyo." Matsuri started. "Just seeing how brave Chiyo was when she was going up against her sister…..I thought to myself that I could finally do something instead of just….you know not do anything. But as I was going to say something…..I just froze."
Matsuri grabbed himself. Trying to calm himself down and not cry in front of Meiko.
"I thought that I could finally help out. I thought I got over my crippling anxiety…..g-guess I didn't." He scoffed at himself.
Meiko's expression fell, her lips gave way and formed into a frown. Her eyes fluttered in the opposite direction away from him, her hand moved under her bosom. Thinking of what to say. "He still sees himself as useless. No surprise there…but just seeing him beating himself up like this." She thought trailed off as she glanced at the gloom boy next to her.
Matsuri didn't say anything, he just sat there on his bed, with his hand gripping the edge of his jacket. The boy started to tremble in his spot.
For a split second, a vivid image of a young girl sat beside Meiko, the girl had short gray hair that stopped at her shoulder. She wore a black school uniform with a skirt. The figure looked to be a younger version of Meiko.
A light gasp escaped her lips. The moment she blinked, the image of her younger self was gone and returned to Matsuri. Meiko breathed heavily. Just what was that? She was starting to see Matsuri as how she was back then.
"M-Meiko?"
"Huh!?" She looks up at the boy.
"Are you okay? I almost lost you there for a second."
"Um…..y-yes. I'm fine." She said as she got up from the bed and walked just a few inches away from the bed. Her mind in deep thought. "More importantly Hitoyoshi…you say that you felt useless back there, but if I were to be honest. I believe you did plenty for the boys and Chiyo-san."
"Huh?"
"Granted, I still think you're like Chiyo-san. She gives the boys too much leeway, especially after what they did. I can't help but find that rather annoying with you."
Matsuri twitched at that. Granted he figured that Meiko would hate that about him. The fact that he gives the boys too much kindness. Sure they are perverts, idiots and sometimes get way over their heads, but he couldn't just stand there and let them get into trouble.
His eyes look up and notice how close Meiko is. Practically almost shoving her face to his. He took note of the concern expression on her face. "However, despite your nativity…..I still have to admit…I respect your bravery."
Matsuri's face heated up at the compliment. Did he hear that right? A complement from the vice president. The same fierce vice president who hated men along with the other members. He just received a compliment from her!? Of all people!?
Meiko retreated her body from his. She started to fidget in place, feeling embarrassed of what she just said to him. "D-Don't misunderstand me! It was just a compliment for you as a person! Nothing special! Got that!?"
"Y-Yeah! Just as a person!" Matsuri said with a heavy blush on his cheeks.
The two just stood there in silence. Nothing was said. Not a sound. Nothing but the thumping of their hearts pounding against their chests respectively.
Meiko started to sweat as her eyes tried to look anywhere else but the boy in front of her. She started to push her skirt down and cover her own breast, which only made things worse for someone with a figure such as hers.
"Damn it…I'm feeling self-conscious again. J-Just say something already!" Meiko panicked in her thoughts.
"I-I'm feeling really nervous here…" Matsuri thought to himself as he looked at the amazon woman in front of him. He took note of how she was desperately trying to cover herself with not much success. Her sweat dripped against her bare skin and a heavy blush that flushed on her cheeks. "I never said this before but…Meiko looks…..really cute right now."
"S-Stop looking at me like that and s-say something….." Meiko breathed out with a few stutters.
Matsuri twitched, feeling ashamed of looking at Meiko with such thoughts. Right when she's feeling uncomfortable. "I-I-I'm sorry! I was just surprise t-that's all."
"R-Right…..a-anyways. Since you're feeling better, I will take my leave now." On that note, she turned her body and headed towards the door.
Matsuri watched her back as she walked towards the exit. His eyes shifted to the other direction, pondered for a moment before looking at Meiko again.
"Um…..V-Vice President…."
"Yes?" Meiko stopped and turned her head over her shoulders.
"...back at the U.S.C office, when Madam President and Hana were interrogating me about Kiyoshi and Chiyo dating…..w-why did you defend me?"
"Oh," Meiko felt her cheeks heated up once more. "I-I merely was just stating the truth about you." She said with an attempted firm tone. "I'm still rather cross with you that you didn't share such information with me. It is natural that you made a promise to both of them. So you're not to blame for this."
"O-Oh…..um…..thank you." Matsuri said with a bit of fidgeting. "O-Oh and I'm….sorry about embarrassing you the other day. You know the…"
"A-Ah," Meiko got caught off guard, but quickly shook off her nervousness, despite more sweat dripping against her skin. "U-Um….I-I was also at fault for that! It was due to my c-clumsiness that caused us to be in t-that pose!"
"But still, I practically g-groped your breasts! I'm very sorry about that!" He bowed his head towards her.
Meiko bit her lip, still feeling perspiration traveling down her thighs. "I-It's really fine. Just forget about it, okay." Her eyes looked the other way, her hands slowly squeezing her massive melons. "I just…..I wish you were a little more gentle." Meiko whispered only to squeak in response to her own words.
"What?" Matsuri lifted his head as he looked right at Meiko.
The vice president's sweat intensified, her face was almost completely red from embarrassment. She desperately tried to cover her face, her back was against the door. She felt her heart pumped behind her massive chest.
"NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN! I-UH….I'M NOT SAYING….I GOTTA GO! GOOD NIGHT HITOYOSHI!" She burst as she opened the door and left in a hurry.
Matsuri was left alone in his room as he just stared at the door that the Vice President left through. His cheeks flared up from the display that Meiko just showed him. It's always every once in the blue moon that Meiko would let her guard down. But never seen her like that before, let alone never expect her to act like that.
"Still though…she could've just blamed me for the trouble…..she says she did it because she knows me from her report. But…why do I feel like there is something else with her?"
Matsuri thought to himself as he looked onward, unsure of his growing feelings for the gray-haired vice president.
-Girls Bath-
Meiko exposed her massive bare bosom in the open, causing them to jiggle in place. Taking off the white shirt, leaving her only in her thin purple thongs and her high heel boots. The tall amazon woman looks at her own breasts, as they hang, free from their prison.
The amazon beauty was currently in the room with her two other members, Hana and Mari as they undressed getting ready to wash themselves.
"Gah…..why did I have to say that…..I mean it's not like I didn't like the way he groped them. It was an accident after all…..but…." She thought to herself.
Her hands once again cupped her own breast. She let her hand slide against her breast, feeling the softness of her own massive bosom. She felt herself twitch when she reached her nipples, sweat started to drip against her skin.
"Did I…did I actually enjoy him groping me like that….."
"Meiko?" Meiko nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard Hana next to her. "You okay?"
"Y-Yes! I was just thinking that's all!"
"You sure. You've been rather quiet since you got here." Hana said with a curious tone. "Did something happen during your visit with Matsuri?"
Meiko lets out a yelp before she covers her mouth.
Hana and Mari looked over at Meiko, noticing her rather odd behavior. Hana has never seen Meiko like this before. She always showed such a strong and determined nature, but seeing her like this was a complete surprise to her. Mari however, watched her with a raised eyebrow. She became rather curious about her odd behavior.
"Um…..n-nothing happened. I was just checking up on him. Y-You know for extra surveillance."
"I see. So it's for extra surveillance." Mari said as she continued to eye the gray hair girl.
"Y-Yes Madam President." She said as she hurried to get out of her boots along with her purple thongs. Trying her best to ignore the thumping against her chest and the growing suspicion of the members.
"S-So hey, Prez." Hana directed her conversation to Mari. "What are we going to do about the boys? Since they'll be released tomorrow and Kiyoshi will be released afterward."
Mari pondered for a moment. With the boys being released tomorrow and onward. There's no doubt that they would try and do something again to end up in prison. But she couldn't do anything on her end or she might end up getting the council in trouble.
"Well, I would like to get them expelled. But I fear that could end us in trouble. So for now, just nothing."
"Nothing? Really?" Hana said with a surprise gasp. "To be honest, I thought you would've still tried to get them expelled."
"No. It is too risky. And beside, with the boys being released, I doubt they would try anything that stupid that would end them up in prison again…..but I would still like to keep a close watch on them. Make sure they avoid the potential chance of being thrown in prison again."
Mari settled her clothes in the basket and held the towel close to her chest, partly covering her front half of her bare naked body. Followed by Meiko and Hana.
"However, my main concern isn't the inmates."
"...it's Hitoyoshi, isn't it?" Meiko asked her, knowing fully well who was the main source of concern.
"Yes."
Mari went over and sat down on the stool, with Meiko and Hana sitting on their own respective stools. Both on the sides of their president.
"That's right, we still don't know anything of what happened to Yoshimiya." Hana said.
"Not to mention, Hitoyoshi is rather reserved. He won't tell anyone about it. Making it harder for us to crack the case." Meiko stated.
Mari began to scrub the soap on her body. "It seems Hitoyoshi does not come to trust anyone fully to get him to talk."
"You think so?" Hana asked. "So you think someone might rat him out or something."
"It's just a thought. When I visited his family house, his sister mentioned how ashamed he looks whenever Yoshimiya is brought up. However, that also raises more suspicion surrounding Hitoyoshi."
"But we don't have any evidence that leads to Hitoyoshi being guilty." Meiko said as her thoughts began to wander on the boy.
"That was a major flaw on my first attempt. I didn't predict he was going to react like that. Which leads me to a new plan." The two members look at the President. "As you said Meiko, we couldn't get anywhere with him because we didn't have evidence. Which is why I made a complete remodel on our plan to solve the mystery of Yoshimiya."
"Oh I get it! We are gonna find some cold hard evidence that will lead us to the truth about Yoshimiya! Then once we've found them, we show them to the chairman and prove to him that Matsuri is nothing more than a filthy horn dog." Hana giggled at the thought of the boy being exposed.
Meiko on the other hand, felt a little nervous with the plan. She has supervised Matsuri for a while now and can confirm that he has not done or have any ill intentions of any of the students in the school. Hell, Mari has even had her little adventures with him and he has not made any moves.
"M-Madame President…..I can't help but to be a little…concerned."
"Concern?" Mari raised a brow at the vice president, followed by Hana who looked towards her.
Meiko bit her lips with a bit of a blush. "N-No that's not what I meant. I mean that…I fear that if we make the same mistake as last time, that panic attack might become something worse. H-Hypothetically speaking at least."
"I know…..but we must do this in order to find out what happened to Yoshimiya. Yes, Hitoyoshi has not done anything…..yet. But he has yet to be cleared as a suspect and it doesn't rule out any possibilities that he is lying."
Mari stopped scrubbing the soap on her as she continued to look at herself in the mirror. Her sharp blue eyes looked onward at her reflection, she saw the fire in her eyes. Range of emotion was turning within her. She will not give up on her relentless fight to find out the truth of Yoshimiya, she will prove to her father one way or another.
"For the sake of the school, I will not allow harm to the students."
…
And that's a wrap! With that we have completed the "Breakout Operation Arc"! Next time, the boys' real challenge begins as they forge their path to redemption. But what obstacles await. And the U.S.C resumed their investigation on Yoshimiya. Trouble is coming.
Thank you all for sticking till the end of the Breakout Arc. Now with that out of the way, we can finally get started on the original arc for "Hitoyoshi and the Prison School". We're going into uncharted territory from here on out. I can tell you what I plan to do with the original arc, the next arc will be a mix of inspiration from two story arcs, "Boys Expulsion arc" and "Mad Wax arc".
Hope you guys liked this chapter. I bet you guys weren't expecting Usano (The Chairman) to appear in this. I felt the Chairman had little input in the canon story, so I wanted not just him, but some of the other staff members and adults to have some roles in the story. It sometimes concerns me how the teachers and staff are nowhere to be seen in the original, so I'm trying to make them at least more active. Not to mention I wanted to explore more of the relationship between Mari and Usano. So that's always fun to write about.
Matsuri and Meiko are starting to grow a little closer from this point. Meiko is starting to see more of herself within Matsuri, which brings her closer to sympathizing with him. Of course, she will still be in denial, but deep down she will start to come to terms with her feelings (and sexual urges). Things will start to crank up in the next arc between the two and onward. So be on the lookout for more moments between Matsuri and Meiko.
One last thing before I sign out, I may end up taking a small break from this story for a little bit until I come back. I'm not dropping it, just want to relax before I get back into the story with the original arc. I'll possibly be back by mid-July and or earlier than that.
Feedbacks are nice for some improvements on the story.
And as always, stay safe! And I'll see you in the next chapter!
