April 18th

"Good morning," Kamoshida said as I approached the school gate. "C'mon, hurry up and get to class! Good morning."

"Good morning." I said.

"That admirable behaviour won't do you any good once you're expelled."

I went to class.

"Well, that wraps up the homeroom period," Kawakami said. "Doe-kun, a word with you, please?"

Kawakami took me out the classroom.

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you," she said. "It won't take long."

Kamoshida stepped out the guidance office with girl with the ribbon in her hair.

"I see you're already getting on top of the problem I'd mentioned this morning, Ms. Kawakami!" Kamoshida said. "I appreciate the support."

"Thank you again." the student with the ribbon in her hair said.

"Oh, you know this guy, Yoshizawa?" Kamoshida questioned.

"Yes, he lent me a helping hand earlier."

"I recommend you sheer clear of the likes of him if you have any consideration for your future. Remember the discussion we had?" Kamoshida said. "There are a number of students in this school you shouldn't get involved with, this one's at the top of the list."

"Oh, the delinquent transfer student?" Yoshizawa questioned.

"Sorry to interrupt but I need to use the guidance office." Kawakami stated.

"Oh, pardon me," Kamoshida said. "We should be going too. Don't want to get in the way of guiding this delinquent and all."

"Please, excuse us." Yoshizawa said.

"After you." Kawakami said.

We went into the guidance office.

"I'm gonna get straight to the point. Did something happen between you and Mr. Kamoshida?" Kawakami questioned.

"Why do you ask?" I asked.

"Well, there was that little exchange just now but that's not all. He gave me a brief lecture this morning and your name came up. Something about the dangers of a lack of supervision," Kawakami sighed. "I don't mean to pry but just make sure you don't go causing trouble, okay? Oh, and one more thing, that girl outside the office, you didn't make a pass at her, did you?"

"Her ribbon was cute." I said.

"Uh, huh. Mr. Kamoshida has a real close eye on you. Apparently, you've been getting involved with Sakamoto-kun. You seem acquainted with Yoshizawa-San as well. Maybe you're just naturally drawn to athletes? Sorry, bad joke. That's all I wanted to discuss. You're free to go."

I returned to class.

[Ryuji: So I saw Kamoshida at the school gate this morning.]

[Ryuji: He was standing there looking at me with this shit-eating grin on his face.]

[Ann: Ugh, that's annoying... He was probably mocking you.]

[Ryuji: Honestly, seeing that got me even more fired up about this.]

[Ryuji: We're definitely gonna pull this off.]

[Ann: Yeah. I'm worried about Shiho, but I want to concentrate on our operation too.]

[Ann: I won't let myself get exhausted like last time.]

[Ryuji: The board meeting's May 2nd, right?]

[Ryuji: We just gotta take care of him before then.]

[John: I'm ready for this.]

[Ryuji: Same goes for me.]

[Ann: Me too!]

[Ann: I'll do my best. No going in without me, OK?]

[Ryuji: Yeah, you better let us know if you're going into the Palace.]

"It's finally time to set the plan in motion," Morgana said. "I bet the others are ready to go and waiting on the signal. Well, I'll leave the planning to you."

Mission start! I went to the library.

"Oh, is this your first time at the library?" a female student asked. "It's my job to explain the rules of the library to first time visitors, so you're only allowed to borrow one book at a time. Once you finish, please be sure to retur... Huh? Oh, could you be that transfer student I keep hearing about!?"

"Yup." I said.

"I knew it. Um, I don't mean to be rude but maybe you shouldn't come here. See, you're scaring the other students too. Oh, no, I didn't mean that you can't use the library but..."

"You're not welcome anywhere you go," Morgana said. "I guess there's nothing we can do about it."

"Do you need something?" the girl questioned.

I decided to borrow Pirate Legend, the tale of the fearless Captain Kidd.
