Chapter 89
A month later, Yuki and Minoru are hanging out at the game room after school with Leon and Oka.
Yuki: I’ve been getting better grades since the embarrassment. My average went from around 80% to 90%.
Minoru: Having study hall really helps.
Yuki: Yeah.
Oka: So how is it like to be a normal average school girl here?
Yuki: It’s been fine. I get to do more things and less worry about the whole popularity thing.
Oka: So even after you made that speech, you’re still unpopular?
Yuki: Not really. I’m still get some attention. It’s just that I haven’t attend anything special lately. Besides, Team Phase still got their attention.
Leon: How?
Yuki: They’re been doing things I haven’t done. They have shown that they do charity events and donate money, or what I think is make believe.
Minoru: Remember that they got connections with the principle, and having such events like that will make them look better.
Oka: Wow. I can’t believe you found out that the principle really helps them out.
Yuki: Oh yes. I would like to do after school events again, but it’s almost winter season, and I kinda want to take a look around the school on my own time. Just for a discovery if I happen to find one.
Leon: I see.
Minoru: Have you tried Aki and Ren’s Cafe club?
Leon: I haven’t yet.
Oka: Me to.
Yuki: After we play the next round, we will go there.
They continue playing games in there, and later, they arrive to the cafe.
Aki: Hey guys!
Yuki: Hey girls!
Ren: We’re serving more thing on our menu.
Minoru: Nice.
Yuki sees the three guys and walks to them.
Rukio: Hey Yuki!
Yuki: Hey guys!
She sits on a table with them.
Kaito: Anything in your mind?
Yuki: Yes I do. You’ve been seeing what Team Phase has been doing lately?
Nako: Well, they made an charity event last week and it was their second time.
Kaito: Yeah. Do you guys think they really are doing charity work?
Rukio: Nah. I don’t buy it.
Yuki: Yep. You are right in my mind.
Nako: Do you have any plans?
Yuki: Well, I do know where their warehouse is. I want to sneak a way in to listen to their meeting.
Rukio: Well, isn’t that risky?
Yuki: I’ve done that once during my suspension. That’s how I found out their schemes. You guys could come and help. I know their passcode to get in already.
Nako: Smart girl. Although, I don’t want to get caught.
Yuki: You don’t have to go inside. We’ll do that tomorrow. We just gonna leave right away when school’s over and you guys can be in my car.
Kaito: Your new car for your birthday?
Yuki: Yes. You guys get to be in my sports car and dream about it. We’ll park far from the warehouse.
Rukio: Cool. We’re in.
The next day after school, Yuki drives and left the parking lot near the school and later arrive near the warehouse. She parked a bit far.
Yuki: All right boys, let’s do our plan.
They all got out, and closed the doors. They are dressed with ninja outfits.
Yuki: Nako and Rukio, look at any road to see if any of you see a white car coming.
Nako: Ok.
They both went to be in a hiding position and both watch one part of the road.
Yuki: Kaito, we’re going it.
They both are running to the warehouse.
Kaito: You sure they don’t have cameras?
Yuki: I looked around once and they don’t have them.
They went by the door.
Yuki: Here it goes.
She puts all the codes on the pad and the door opens.
Yuki: Let’s go.
They went it and lock the door. Both went inside the big area and starts finding a hiding spot.
Yuki’s phone made a chime and starts seeing a text.
Yuki: Nako sees the white car coming!
Kaito: All right.
Yuki: Make sure your phone is complete silence.
Yuki hides in one of the boxes and covers herself inside and looks at the small hole to see.
Kaito hides in one of the corners that is unlit, and hides behind the fat pipes.
Outside, Nako and Rukio went elsewhere in the same area to be unseen.
Nako: They made it.
Rukio: Good. So now what do we do?
Nako: She’s gonna send us her private stream. We could wait by the car. She give me the keys.
Rukio: Cool.
Inside the warehouse, Yuki sees Team Phase coming in.
Hiroshi: We got some money from the kids today.
Kaname: Yep. Those fools really believe we got contact with hospitals and schools.
Hiroshi: Yeah, and we can split the money into six. For us and the principle.
A while later, they have an important plan.
Lila: Since we got a couple of plans, let’s pick who’s our next target to pick on.
Mizuro: Will it be one of Yuki’s friends?
Hiroshi: Yes.
Mizuro: Then I want it to be on Retasu. She took our files before.
Kaname: I still am against Rin. She smacked me twice.
Lila: Remember it can’t be Minoru. Yuki would kill us.
Hiroshi: Right. It’s no secret we’re picking on Yuki.
Touko: Yeah, but most of her friends aren’t kind to us. I want it to be on one of her teammates, Lia. Oh, maybe also that geeky girl. What’s her name? The shy one.
Lila: Eru. I don’t think she’s ever done anything wrong to us. She’s just an awkward girl who doesn’t talk, so we’ll leave her out.
Touko: What about Minoru’s friends?
Lila: The blond and the brunette? Maybe.
Kaname: I think we should check out what Rin is doing.
Hiroshi: So what we gathered is Rin and Retasu, and maybe few of her other friends. At least a few of them have gone against us.
Mizuro: Oh yes!
Hiroshi: Besides that plan, we still close to rule the entire school. So far, we have all the information for all students from the files. We got them digitally, and the only thing left is information for the staffs and all the blueprints that the school has. That way, we will have full control and we can play make believe all we want, and all of their personal secrets will be uncovered.
Touko: Oh yeah!
Lila: Totally!
Hiroshi: Yeah. Let’s go get food. We’re starving.
Kaname: Sure!
They are leaving, and Yuki is texting Nako and Rukio.
A minute after Team Phase left the building, Yuki and Kaito left their hiding spots and meet up by the door.
Kaito: Wow. What a meeting. Did our friends see them leave yet?
Yuki: Rukio just texted me they saw the car leaving.
Kaito: Good.
They left the building, and went inside the car.
Yuki: Good job guys. I saved the stream and we can eat on a buffet near my job place.
Rukio: Awesome!
Nako: I’m starving.
They left the parking spot and flee.
The next day, Yuki went to her homeroom and sees Eru with her new robot toy. It is a human figure colored in lavender and controls it with her phone.
Yuki: Wow.
She takes a look at it while everyone is around watching it.
Yuki: Eru. Did you built that?
Eru: Actually, I programmed it, and made the design.
She presses a button and have the toy wave to her classmates.
Rin: So cool!
Leo: It’s pretty cute.
Eru: Thanks.
Yuki: Is that for a school project?
Eru: I actually wanted to volunteer a science fair next week. I want to show everyone that I have talents for programming.
Yuki: Cool. Can it do jump flip?
Eru: Sure.
She presses the button and the toy does a jump flip. The kids starts clapping.
Minoru: Wow. You sure are gonna make the science fair a great show.
Eru: Yeah. I…I can’t wait.
Kaname is also around Eru, and listens what she says.
She then leaves the classroom and finds Hiroshi.
Kaname: Hiroshi!
Hiroshi: Did you got something?
Kaname: Yes. Eru is showing off her new robot toy for the science fair next week.
Hiroshi: Hmm… We got events coming up. Neither of us are attending to science fair.
Kaname: But won’t that take away our attention?
Hiroshi: We got ideas. We’re doing fortune telling event this friday.
Kaname: Oh yeah. We shouldn’t be worried.
Meanwhile, Yuki talks to Minoru about yesterday.
Minoru: So they’re still gonna do their thing.
Yuki: Yep. They got parts of the school’s files, so they know our information.
Minoru: Us?
Yuki: Every kid in school.
Minoru: Unbelievable. What are we gonna do?
Yuki: We’ll just stay normal for now. I’m not sure what’s next, but I’m gonna warn our friends because they are gonna target one of them at a time.
Minoru: Oh boy.
Later during lunch, Eru is playing around with her robot toy.
Leon: Can you make it fight?
Eru: I put up fighting techniques while programming it.
She presses the button, and starts doing fighting moves.
Her friends are happy to see it in action.
Minoru: Wow. What got you into programming?
Eru: I play a lot of video games and I wanted to make my own games. I studied programming for couple of years, and this toy proved my skills.
Yuki: That’s awesome.
Rin: So, what is Team Phase gonna do to us?
Yuki: Let’s just say they’re gonna pick some of us.
Leon: Oh. That’s unsurprising.
Minoru: We know that was coming.
Yuki: Yeah, but this is serious. They can come up any moment and do some other trick on us, like exposing my…bear.
Rin: Right.
The next day, Team Phase are doing a fortune teller event by the main entrance of school. Touko and Mizuro are on their seats, having a glowing crystal ball.
Kyanna comes in and went by Touko.
Touko: Welcome to the Dual Fortune Telling event. We can see information about you with just a globe.
Kyanna: Okay. Just tell me what you know about me.
Touko: All right.
Under the seat, she puts her left foot on a button and triggers the light of the crystal ball.
Touko: Behold, the information is coming to my mind.
She lets go of the button from her foot, and both wear a witch hat with wigs to hide the wireless earbud.
In the other room, Kaname tells Touko about Kyanna’s information from school’s information.
Touko: Kyanna D. You’re a Virgo. You moved to Japan since the beginning of junior high, loves attending sporting events, strong grades on history, weak at language arts, and is a very passionate person on her goals. You are likely gonna get grade point average of around 3.
Kyanna: Wow! How did you guys do this?! You know about my grades and stuff.
Touko: We got really great crystal balls and we both went strong with our spirits.
Kyanna: Cool. I’m so happy to hear my happy future!
She runs out with excitement.
Minoru comes up and went by Mizuro.
Mizuro: Minoru? What are you doing here?
Minoru: Well…I wanted to try this out. I see Kyanna was happy.
Mizuro: Okay. I’ll do yours.
Mizuro’s earbuds are connected with Lila from the other room.
Lila: What are you doing? Should we let you do Minoru?! Wouldn’t he tell Yuki about this?
Mizuro breathes really big.
Mizoru: We gotta what we gotta do. Let’s see.
A crystal ball is lit, and Mizuro waves her arms on it.
Mizuro: Bring me the information from this boy.
The crystal ball becomes unlit.
Mizuro: Minoru Tamara. You’re a Piscis. You started out rough in this school. The teacher was really mean to you that you switched to other class with Yuki. You are really good at math and graphic designing, weak at language arts, a really nice person, and is well know for being Yuki’s boyfriend who helped you to be more respected. You will soon be granted with gpa of around 3.
Minoru: Okay…
He walks away.
Mizuro: Well, we can’t keep away from them. Right, Touko?
Touko: It’s our job to be natural!
Minoru runs to Yuki by the back of the school
Minoru: Yuki! They’re doing fortune telling events. I tried to see what they’re doing. They know about my information about myself in here from freshmen to senior!
Yuki: I knew it. They’re using our school information.
Minoru: They’re using crystal balls and it’s only light inside.
Yuki: Wow. I’ll take a look by far.
Meanwhile, Touko is doing Eru.
Touko: Eru Hibika. You’re a Cancer. You moved here last year because you got picked on from your last school, and you’re really strong at mathematics and programming, weak at socializing, wants to make video games, and a really nice girl who wishes she has more experience with others. I sense in the future, you’re gonna fill those experience and you are gonna be happy.
Eru: I see.
Yuki comes and looks at the event with lines.
Yuki: Yep. That’s what got them attention. They really did it.
Few of their friends comes to Yuki.
Leo: Hey Yuki! They know about my background story from freshmen, and I’m gonna get a GPA of 2.5!
Kyanna: Well, I’m gonna get 3. They know what class subject I’m good at, and least good at.
Lia: Was it language arts?
Kyanna: Yes. I’m not 100 percent on the Japanese language though.
Lia: Me to, but my weakest subject is history, and they know!
Leo: How did they got that magic?
Kyanna: You should try it, Yuki!
Yuki: I don’t want to.
They start hearing people chanting Yuki.
Yuki! Yuki! Yuki!
Yuki looks at Touko and Mizuro with people around, chanting.
Minoru: Do you have a choice?
Yuki: No. I’ll go.
Kyanna: She says she’s coming!
People are cheering for her to come.
Touko: Finally!
Mizuro: Here goes.
Yuki: I see you got some, quite amount of audience.
Mizuro: Are you sure you want to do this?
Yuki: Go ahead.
Mizuro lits the crystal ball.
Mizuro: I request to bring the information on Yuki to my mind.
The ball starts turning off.
Mizuro: Okay. Yuki Koriyama, you’re a Virgo. You got really great talent since you came here as a freshmen, and started that popularity. You are great at gym and sports, weak at history, often performs sporting events, and really helped many people here. I also know that you can be a troublemaker. You got suspensions, detentions, and fights. In the future, you’re going to live in a happy life.
Yuki: …I don’t believe it. You know my grades?
Mizuro: I see you’re currently on GPA of 2.6.
Yuki: I’ll get to the bottom of this.
Touko: On what?
Yuki: This whole thing. Knowing our grades and all.
Mizuro: Hey! We’re just fortune tellers today.
Yuki: And next time you both will be cupids the next day.
Yuki leaves.
Mizuro: Hey! That’s a great idea!
Touko: How are we supposed to be cupids then?
Yuki walks to Minoru.
Yuki: It’s definitely the school’s papers.
Minoru: Yep.
Later during lunch, Shirou is waiting at the wall for Rin to come.
Suddently, he sees Kaname coming next to him.
Kaname: Rin’s pretty late, isn’t she?
Shirou: No. I just got here.
Kaname: I know Rin’s supposed to meet you.
Shirou: And that’s none of your business.
Kaname: Hey! I’m not butting in. I’m just here to ask you out. It will be just you and me.
Shirou: Could you hand with your buddies instead?
Kaname: No. I’m just in love with you. That’s all.
Shirou: Gross. I’m dating Rin, creep.
Kaname: She doesn’t have to know.
Shirou: Get out!
Kaname: Let’s make out!
Shirou: NO!
Kaname gets really close to him, and Rin suddenly appears, seeing Kaname getting too close to Shirou.
She tries to kiss him, and Shirou pushes her away.
Rin: What happened?!
Shirou: Rin! That freak was trying to kiss me and acting so weird!
Rin: You’re okay? Not hurt?
Shirou: No, but I’m creeped out!
Rin: HOW COULD YOU!
Kaname: He’s trying to kiss me, and threw me down to the ground.
Rin: Stop lying! I know how much of a evil person you are!
Kaname: Well. I was trying ot get you jealous, but you both are fools!
Rin looks at Shirou.
Rin: Can you hold my lunchbox?
Shirou: Sure.
Rin: Thanks.
She starts running to Kaname and pushes her to the ground and starts fighting.
Kaname: AHHHH!!
Rin scratches her.
Rin: HOW DARE YOU TRIED TO RUIN OUR RELATIONSHIP?!?!
A while later, Team Phase are at the student room.
Kaname enters, with a messy look on her hair and clothes, and few scratches.
Hiroshi: Woah. Looks like the plan didn’t turn out well?
Kaname: Rin has a hidden angry kitty personality on the inside!
Touko: I believe that.
Hiroshi: Well, we’re still gonna pick on each one by one. It may be risky, but we also need to make the plan more elaborate.
Kaname: Thanks for the tip. I’ll just eat my lunch then.
They continue having lunch.
Next Chapter: The Lookout
Yuki and her friends are in the lookout to check what Team Phase are up to. They know that they are gonna pick each of them one by one. Who’s gonna be their target in the next chapter? Tune in next time!
