Chapter 80
With Kaname coming to the talk battle between Yuki’s friends and Team Phase, and says about their “room” was locked and Team Phase assumes Yuki’s friends are having a plan behind their backs and that something is up. While accusing Team Phase about Yuki’s Suspension is ongoing and that everyone knows about it, the plan that they are having seems to rise publicly. The crowds would want to hear the conversation.
Retasu asks Leon.
Retasu: We should tell them. They should be done down there.
Leon: Why? We don’t want the plan to get ruined.
Retasu: It might be the only way to get them to admit it.
Leon: Hmm.
Leon whispers to Shirou, Kyanna, Leo, and Lia.
Hiroshi: So?! Tell us! What are you hiding?
Lia: We will tell you guys what you want to hear, if you tell us about Yuki first.
Mizuro: NO!!
Everyone gasped.
Guy: So they are trying to hide the fact that they got Yuki suspended.
Hiroshi: You guys knew already! We told you guys why we don’t like Yuki, so that’s an easy theory!
Retasu: It was spoken about since that day!
Lila: Yes! That day! Now tell us your secret!
Lia: Fine! We got you to admit about this, so it’s our turn.
Retasu: We heard that you got a private room at the bottom floor, so no one could know that you have one after all!
Everyone gasped again.
Lila: HOW DID YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT IT!!!
Hiroshi: Were you stalking us?
Shirou: No. We heard from unnamed sources.
Kaname: So who was in our room?
Retasu: Our friends! They got your evidence and they are at the office right now!
Kaname: You mean, they opened something inside?!
Shirou: That’s what we heard.
Kaname: It’s my teacher! Takigawa-sensei! He was near the door the other day!
Hiroshi: It’s him who was there!
Touko: YOU GOT A TEACHER TO HELP YOU GUYS?!
Mizuro: Oh no! We shouldn’t trust any teacher here!
Hiroshi: NOOOO!!!!!
Team Phase tries running to inside the school.
Hiroshi: WE ARE BUSTED!!!
Kaname: Should we call the principle?
Hiroshi: Good idea! We should run there before it’s too late!
Yuki’s friends watches them leave, laughing at them.
Leon: Hahahaha! It’s good that they didn’t even know that Minoru and Eru were there.
Retasu: Yeah. Hopefully, they get caught real good.
Kyanna: Definitely!
In the office, rewind five minutes earlier, Minoru and Eru went inside the office.
Minoru: There is the security room next door.
Eru: Ok.
They went inside and sees two guards.
Guard: Hey kids.
Minoru: We want to help someone, and we got evidence here.
He shows them the folder.
Minoru: We need help to add another evidence to prove the principle.
The guard sees the paper inside.
Guard: Hmm… Team Phase’s plan to suspend Yuki. The whole thing looks legit. You two aren’t affiliated with them?
Minoru: No. It’s just the five, and we want a video evidence we want to see. It’s Hiroshi, Lila, Kaname, Mizuro, and Touko.
Eru: Do you mind if we can use the surveillance system?
Guard2: Although, only us can use it.
Minoru: We want to see what happened last Friday. Do you still have footage from last week?
Guard: Is it the day when the fire thing happened?
Minoru: Yes, but we want to see what happened before.
Guard: We heard Yuki pulled the alarm, and we still have footage on the entire day for all cameras in the school.
Minoru: Good.
Guard2: Let’s check and show you guys how Yuki did it.
The guards played the footage from last Friday, and all the screens for each camera is playing at the same time. They are trying to look for the timeline on when the fire alarm went off.
Eru looks nervous.
Minoru: It’s okay. I’m nervous too.
The surveillance picked up to where Lila was walking to the fire alarm.
Minoru: There! She’s waiting there. Go thirty seconds back. The second floor, look at the door of the girl’s bathroom.
Eru: He told me that Yuki was going inside for a break.
The guards rewinds a little, and sees Yuki going inside, and sees Kaname and Touko watching her go in.
Minoru: Look at those two. They are in Team Phase, and they were getting Yuki to stop that girl by the fire alarm.
They see both went in, and then Yuki left the bathroom.
Eru: Look at the girl! She had something on her hand.
Minoru: It looks like a device.
They see Yuki running to Lila, and talks to her.
Guard: That girl does look like she was holding a small thing on her right hand.
Eru: And she had her hand behind her back.
They see Yuki stopping Lila.
Guard2: It looks like Yuki was trying to stop her from going near the alarm.
They all see Lila raise her right hand behind her back by a little higher, and looking like she was pressing something inside her hand, and sees the fire alarm went off.
Guard: Wow! Amazing!
Guard2: You both are heroes! We would like to help you guys out, but we don’t have a storage device here at the moment.
Eru: Umm, I got a lot of Micro SD cards in my bag. You can use one.
Guard: Thanks!
Eru: How do you know about all of this?
Minoru: Yuki found their secret hideout and let’s say she found out about the entire thing and told us on a meeting yesterday at her place.
Eru: I can’t believe it.
Guard2: You should show that to the principle.
Minoru: That’s what we are doing. I am gonna go to the principle’s office. Eru, you stay and work with those two to have the full evidence.
Eru: Ok.
Minoru left the room, and sees Takigawa-Sensei.
Minoru: Oh? Hey Sensei.
Sensei: Minoru! I heard about your adventurous plan from Rin, and I want to take the paper to the principle instead.
Minoru: All right. It’s on the folder, and we got surveillance evidence already. Eru is getting it on a storage to show it.
Sensei: Tell her to send it to me. I’ll be you guy’s decoy. Team Phase will never know who was in that room.
Minoru: Cool. Just be sure the principle doesn’t know it was us who are in the security office or their private room.
Sensei: Of course. You guys are important for Yuki, and I do want her to be seen as innocent.
Minoru: Thanks.
Sensei knocks the principle’s door.
The Principle opens the door, and Takigawa-Sensei went inside.
Minoru goes back to the security room.
Minoru: Eru. Our teacher is gonna show the principle the job. He’s with us.
Eru: Ok. Nice teacher.
Eru sees cameras for the bottom floor from Team Phase.
Eru: Can you guys do me a favor. I think it’s good if you erase any footage from this dusk to when the class starts.
Guard2: It won’t be a good idea.
Eru: I don’t want them to know that we are helping our friend.
Guard2: Sounds fair. We’ll do it.
Guard: It would be risky for both our careers though.
Eru: I hope you both are fine afterwards.
In the principle’s office, Sensei shows the principle the paper from Team Phase.
Sensei: Earlier this week, I saw that Team Phase guys have a private room on the bottom floor. I was really suspicious about them for the past week, and so I went to their room and searched. I found this secret folder that has the plans to suspend Yuki.
The principle takes a look on the paper.
Principle: Hmm… Yes. That does look like it is their paper. However, I got video evidence that Yuki was the one who pulled the alarm.
Sensei: I heard, but we found a video evidence that goes even further.
Principle: Do you have it? And what do you mean, we?
Sensei: It’s by the security office. I was there earlier to look, for my curiosity. It seems to be true.
Principle: Well, bring it here. I’ll be waiting for you.
He left and went by the security door. Eru comes out and has the micro sd on her hand.
Eru: Sensei, I got it.
Sensei: Thanks.
Eru hands her the micro sd and the notes for the evidence.
Eru and Minoru left the office and Sensei went back to the principle’s office.
Sensei: I got the surveillance here.
Principle: Okay. I’ll hook it up here.
He puts in the micro sd on his computer, and both are watching in on the monitor.
Sensei looks on the notes.
They see the video playing, and sees Lila going by the fire alarm.
Sensei: She is there, waiting for Yuki to come.
He looks at the notes, and sees if he’s doing this correctly.
Sensei: We now see the other camera, and two girls are going in. They are part of Team Phase, and it seems like they are signifying Yuki. She comes out from there.
The principle sees it.
Principle: Interesting.
They see Yuki running to Lila. Yuki was stopping Lila.
Sensei: I believe Lila has something on her right hand.
They see her holding something.
Sensei: She’s gonna press something that will trigger the alarm.
They see Lila pressing inside her hand while arguing with Yuki, and sees fire alarm going off.
Principle: How?! How do you know this?
Sensei: Wow. Seeing that with you, it does looks like a plan to get her suspended.
Principle: Again, how do you do all that research?
Sensei: I got my students to talk to me about Yuki’s suspension. They helped me, and I feel strange that she got suspended. We heard Team Phase members were picking on others. My students led me to do something like this to prove for them that Yuki is innocent.
Principle: Nice students. I will talk with those five from Team Phase. Not sure how they have a room on the bottom floor. No students are entered there without a staff during school hours.
At the hallway, Minoru and Eru are walking, and they see Team Phase running.
Lila: Minoru!
Touko: Did you see your teacher went that way?
Minoru: We saw him heading there, and we waved HI to him.
Hiroshi: Let’s go there before he meets the principle!
They all continuing running.
Eru: They seem scary.
Minoru: Yeah. Don’t worry. Our teacher will be our decoy.
Eru: What does that mean?
Minoru: All the things we just did to help, he will take the complete blame for it so they won’t know it’s actually us who went to their room or the security.
Eru: All right.
In the office, they ran inside, and sees Takigawa-sensei come out.
Kaname: Sensei! You told on us?!
Sensei: Of course I did. The principle wants to see you guys.
Kaname: I thought you are supposed to respect me!
Sensei: And you guys shouldn’t have a room at the bottom floor. He wants to see you, now.
Hiroshi: Darn it!
They went to the principle office while Sensei left the main office.
Principle: Somehow, they found out about your plan.
Hiroshi: How?! No one should know about the safe we had in our room.
Kaname: Only if Sensei didn’t appear by our door the other day.
Principle: Even teachers can have some suspicion with you guys, considering many kids in here are worried about how Yuki got suspended, and didn’t believe she was the one who pulled the alarm.
Lila: We had to argue with her friends at front of the school.
Mizuro: It seems like a plan to stall us to buy Takigawa time to be on our room and get the surveillance.
Principle: I should’ve deleted those surveillance. So now that the whole thing was exposed and that the evidence was given by a teacher, I will have to give you guys suspension for two weeks, which is the only weeks of school before summer starts.
Hiroshi: It seems like we’ll get ourselves a longer vacation than the rest of our classmates.
Principle: Yeah, but also, we would have to make this look like you guys get caught so that everyone here wouldn’t know that I sided with you five. I would have to take you with securities. Don’t worry, no further charges will be actually given, secretly.
Hiroshi: Good. They found out our strategy of getting Yuki in trouble, and they plan to get us here. They still have contact with Yuki since internet is everywhere.
Lila: Was Minoru here?
Principle: Yuki’s boyfriend? No. Only the teacher.
Hiroshi: Hmm…
Principle: Unfortunately, that also means we would have to bring back Yuki tomorrow so they would know I am following the rules and guidelines, to play safe.
Touko: I get it. At least we won’t be seeing her until we return after summer break.
Later during class, Team Phase stayed in their private room.
Lila: Too bad we have to stay here. I want to talk to her friends real bad!
Hiroshi: Being a fake in-school detention, we had to stay for the rest of the day.
Kaname: And we had to stay after school here, don’t forget.
Mizoru: Once we return at September, we will do something else to ruin Yuki’s life, and her friends.
Touko: We got a lot of planning to do during our break.
Hiroshi: Yeah. We can’t give off suspensions to them anymore. I am already tired of everyone bothering us about us getting Yuki in trouble.
Lila: Not only that, but I do want to make some friends too. We somehow have to look redeemable. I do want to be the top athlete, not Yuki.
Kaname: And be a better fashion design than Rin.
Hiroshi: We got over two months to think that through.
In Minoru’s class, Takigawa-sensei is smiling.
Sensei: You guys heard about Team Phase getting Yuki in trouble. Thanks to Minoru, Rin, Retasu, Eru, and all you guys for helping each other to prove Yuki innocent. Lila had a button to send off the alarm. I saw uncovered video footage and send it to the principle, and they will be suspended and gone until after summer break!
Everyone is cheering
Rin: We did it!
Minoru: Absolutely!
Boy1: Now we get to see Yuki tomorrow!
Sensei gives Eru the SD card.
Sensei: Here. This is yours.
Eru: Thanks.
Sensei talks to the class.
Sensei: Since you guys helped an important friend, I will consider extra credit for having strong friendship.
YAY! WHOOO!!! ALL RIGHT!!!
Minoru: Awesome!
In the mall, Ryo is walking with his parents, and he hears a phone ringing from his dad’s pocket.
Ryo: Oh! My friend from Fujiwara High is calling from the school, and he doesn’t have a phone at the moment. He needs some surprise for Yuki and her friends.
Father: Umm…okay.
Ryo got the phone and went to the bathroom and does a deep voice.
Ryo: Hello!
Principle: Hello Mr. Koriyama. We were mistaken for Yuki’s suspension. There was false evidence about the fire alarm, and she didn’t pulled it. The suspects are receiving double the sentence, and Yuki can return tomorrow.
Ryo: It’s good to hear. I didn’t believe Yuki would go that far.
Principle: Tell her that it wasn’t fair for us to suspend her without a reliable evidence, and that she can return without any penalty.
Ryo: All right. I’ll tell her right away. Thanks.
He hangs up, and goes back to his parents.
Father: What was it about?
Ryo: A friend wants to do a surprise with Yuki for the last day before summer break.
Mother: Sounds amazing. What happened to his phone?
Ryo: Well, his phone needs some repairing, so he went to the office to call me.
Father: Would he ask her friends to call you directly?
Ryo: Most of my friends graduated, and that he wants to be a surprise that only him and Yuki will know.
Father: Sounds fair.
Later after school, Sensei talks to Kaname in his classroom.
Sensei: Study hard for the exam, and do all the homework. You will be mailed, and return the homework by mail only.
Kaname: Again, why are you helping Yuki?
Sensei: I care about my students, and you got her in big trouble without solid proof. I don’t like that.
Kaname: Whatever.
Sensei: Also, you will be doing the exam after school on exam day.
Kaname: Figures I would.
The next day, everyone is happy to see Yuki by the front of the school.
Boy1: Yuki! We’re happy to see you back!
Yuki: Thanks everyone! I am happy to return to see you guys!
Leo: How was Ryo’s college?
Yuki: Pretty awesome! I made some friends there, and played games with them. They had carnival games outdoors, and it was a fun experiences.
Lia: Cool! It seems like you are excited to go there.
Yuki: Yeah! We got more activities there, and we have cafes and lots of cool places to spend time there.
Rin: Sweet!
Yuki: Even though I got falsely suspended, I enjoyed it.
Leon: Cool!
Yuki: And thanks for doing everything you guys! I believed you guys would succeed.
Minoru: It was our accomplishment to do that whole plan.
Yuki: Now that Team Phase is out, we will be doing a lot of fun here!
Everyone claps.
