Makoto demands an explanation before she does anything.

(Chapter originally by faith at writing.com)

Makoto closed her eyes and tried to steady herself. A dull pain in the back of her head warned of a potential migraine on the way. With a sigh, she suddenly strode forward. Ann and Haru yelped in surprise, their awkward arrangement making it hard to maneuver. With a single deft movement, Makoto grabbed the zipper on the front of the sweater and yanked downward. In a single stroke the front of the garment popped open, and Makoto followed through by maintaining her hold on the zipper and yanking her arm to the side. Almost like a stage magician dramatically revealing a trick to her audience, Makoto unveiled the naked bodies of her friends and teammates.

"W-what are doing?? Give it back!" Ann wailed, although in that moment she and Haru were more concerned with covering their suddenly visually accessible bodies than reclaiming the sweater.

"Its true...." Makoto said in disbelief. "You both...were just roaming the halls...without any clothes."

Ann blushed. Makoto didn't sound at all sympathetic to her plight! Instead she was giving them a pinched, put upon expression that screams 'why am I in the situation, having to deal with this nonsense'. Her voice was also carrying that put upon overtone of disapproval and resigned self-pity she saved for troublesome students and when her fellow phantom thieves were doing something particularly boneheaded.

"Its not like we wanted this!" Ann snapped.

"Then explain it." Makoto responded in that half-way tone between actual outrage and whining about the mess she was having to clean up. "Your both breaking more school rules and laws of indecency than I could even list. I don't...just EXPLAIN why your wandering through your school in the middle of the day when your completely naked!"

The way she said the word naked, with a strained emphasis that the course was not merely a dumb decision, but was perhaps the dumbest possible of all decisions, made Ann grind her teeth.

"Stop asking questions and get us some clothes! Your a phantom thief, and we need your help!" Ann said.

"Its because we're phantom thieves that I didn't immediately call the principle in here! Explain this, and do it now! If there's somehow a reasonable explanation for why you are exposing yourselves like deranged perverts I'll listen. But if I'm not satisfied, I will have to punish you both. My loyalty to the Phantom Thieves doesn't mean I can just ignore behavior like this! This school has been on edge ever since Kamoshida. An incident of public indecency? Both of you could be expelled or worse! And I could get in trouble for not preventing this kind of degeneracy! As your student president, I have a duty to uphold school rules AND protect students. Before I decide whether to assist you or report you to the school I need all the facts. Tell me how you....how you managed to be in this...absurd situation." Makoto sighed.

Ann was feeling mortified and angry. The disdain and contempt was now plain in Makoto's voice. Her attitude was approaching the 'so much smarter than you' Makoto that had so infuriated Ann when the president first confronted them with her knowledge of their double lives.
