Capítulo 12: Operation Breakout Part2
Minutes have passed through the day as the boys continue with their work. Making a garden for the school. For Matsuri, it was rarely smooth. Meiko nor Mari asked him for anything, which left him to his own thoughts. Normally he would listen to music, but he can't bring his music out, so he was left to his own peaceful mind.
"Kyaaaah! It's the Council President!" A group of girls came by, admiring the council members.
"Even the vice president is here!"
Matsuri was rather surprised at how popular the council members were. Well, he was expecting them to be popular to begin with, due to catching the boys in their act, but still surprising.
"President!" Matsuri flinched at the familiar gleeful tone voice from before. Hana. "The new revision of the ' Official Underground Student Council Underground Guide Book' has arrived." She said in her usual gleeful tone.
Matsuri couldn't really look at her, due to that incident that happened between her and Kiyoshi. And he saw the whole thing go down from the sideline.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Vice President."
"Understood."
Mari walked together with Hana with the fangirls watching from the sideline, squealing to themselves. The crow master stopped in her tracks.
"Hitoyoshi," Matsuri flinched at her sudden voice. Looking at the president who was staring back at him. "Come with me."
"Yes Ma'am!" Matsuri quickly followed behind.
The 5 boys couldn't help but to look at the scene of how popular the council members were. Even within a few days.
"The council members sure are popular…." Shingo said with a surprised look.
"They're like a gold mound….must be nice for Hitoyoshi as well, since he's a member of their group." Gakuto said with a slight hint of envy in his tone.
"Nah, I'm sure the girls resent him too-" Kiyoshi said, but before he could finish his sentence, he was shoved aside by Jo. His body made a thud on the ground. Rubbing his side, he shot a furious glare at the hoodie wearing boy. "What was that for Jo!?"
"Ants *cough* almost stepped on ants…." He said through his sore voice.
Kiyoshi happens to look at the dirt ground and notice a trail of black ants, all of them leading to their base.
"Jo likes ants…." Andre said with a smile.
"I see, Jo likes ants huh…."
"OI! NO SLACKING OFF! GET BACK TO WORK!" Meiko demanded. Getting the boys' attention.
"Yes ma'am!" They said in synch as they scrambled in different directions.
…..
Mari, Hana, and Matsuri were walking down the hallway of the school to their unknown location. The boy was slightly nervous about this scenario. The fact that he was walking with the two of the most fearsome human beings he has met. It worried him.
He was used to the highschool girls gossiping about him, while giving him the stink eye. He was just worried about the two girls walking in front of him. Especially Hana, he did not want to make her angry.
"Ah, here we are." Mari said as they stopped in front of the door. The sign reads "Teacher Lounge" .
The raven-haired girl turns to Matsuri with her usual glare. "Listen Hitoyoshi, we're about to enter the teachers lounge. You better be on your best behavior, understand?"
Deep down Matsuri couldn't help but to pout. "She's treating me like a child."
"Yes ma'am."
Inside the room, it was filled with education staff members who were all sitting in their respective chairs, on their desks were a stack of papers and a computer monitor. The square sized room was filled with all the desks settled in similar ways.
Matsuri looked among the staff members and noticed how they were all females, not a single male in sight. They all wore the same uniforms with brown tan jackets and red and brown skirts. Some did not have their jackets on and wore white shirts.
"Ah, Mari and Hana." One of the teachers greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, sensei." Mari bowed, followed by Hana. "I take it that the new version of the guide book has arrived."
"Yes, they have," The teacher said and swung her chair to her right and picked up a box and presented it to the girls. "Over at least 200 of them. The ones for the students have been passed out, these ones need to be passed out to the teachers."
"Very well, we can handle this one." Hana said. Keeping her smile she turned to the shy boy. "Matsuri, do you mind helping me out by passing these to the teachers?"
"Uh!? Y-Yes ma'am!" Hitoyoshi quickly replied. Trying his best not to anger her.
The teacher looked at the boy with a curious gaze. "Huh? So it's true. You did recruit him onto the council."
Mari tried her best not to let her smile leave. "Yes. Allow me to introduce," She gestured to Matsuri. "This is Matsuri Hitoyoshi, he's a temporary member for the Underground Student Council."
"Temporary?"
"Yes. As the boys spend their time in the prison, Hitoyoshi is to spend his time as a member of the Underground Student Council."
"I see," The teacher said as she cautiously stretched her hand out to the boy. "I-It's a pleasure to meet you Hitoyoshi." She said with a nervous voice.
"Even the teacher….well it is to be expected due to what the boys did….but is it really okay for me to shake her hand…."
Hitoyoshi looked towards Mari, who nodded. The boy shook her hand. "Um….pleasure to meet you as well sensei."
It only took a few seconds before she retreated her hand. Wiping it off her clothing. Hitoyoshi felt a little hurt from that display, but didn't bother to argue. Especially not in front of the U.S.C.
Hana picked up a good half of them and gave them to Matsuri. The boy struggled a bit, trying to carry them with ease. "Huh? Are they too heavy for you?" Hana asked with an innocent tone.
"N-No. It's fine. I got it."
Hana grabs her share of the guidebook stack. "Alright then, I and Hitoyoshi will distribute these to the teachers."
"That leaves the Chairman," Mari said as she grabbed the book. "I'll take care of this one."
"Please do." Hana said with a smile before she turned to Matsuri. "Well then, shall we go."
"Y-Yes." Matsuri nodded.
Matsuri and Hana walked down the hallways carrying their stack of guidebooks. With Mari going in the different direction to the Chairman office.
It was a rather quiet walk for the most part, Hana was minding herself while Matsuri felt a little uneasy around this girl. Out of all of the girls in the council, Hana absolutely terrified him. He just did not know what to do to not anger her. And just thinking about her anger irritated him.
"M-Maybe I should ask her about Mari….but….will she answer?"
"Um….H-Hana-"
"Hey." She interrupted him first. The boy stopped in his tracks as she stopped walking herself. Her body was completely facing ahead instead of looking at him. "D-Did he tell you?"
"Huh….who?"
"T-That Kiyoshi…."
Matsuri blinked and titled his head. "What about Kiyoshi?"
"D-Did he tell you about our….l-little secret?" She stuttered as she partly glanced at him with a blush on her cheeks.
Matsuri took a moment to piece together what she was talking about. Her and Kiyoshi. The secret between them. What secret? And why would Kiyoshi….then it hit him. A small blush formed on his face, he remembered. That incident. The one incident that he should've never seen.
"Well!?" Hana yelled with an irritated tone.
"Huh!? Oh! Um….n-no! He didn't tell me anything!" He quickly denied. Hoping she would just take the answer.
But she was not letting it go. She got up to his face, Hana's face was almost just as red as the boy. "Why should I believe you!?"
"But it's the truth! He didn't!"
"Then why are you blushing!? Huh!? What did that bastard Kiyoshi say!?"
"He didn't tell me anything! Honest! He really didn't!" Matsuri was really telling the truth….partly. Kiyoshi didn't tell him, but he sure did witness the event. And really did not want Hana to notice. God knows what she would do to him if she found out.
Hana just gave an annoyed huff and looked in the other direction. "Hmph. This is useless. Maybe I'll just talk to him myself."
"I don't know if that's a good idea though….sorry Kiyoshi." The boy thought to himself. But then he dared ask his original question.
"Um….Hana?"
"What?" She said rather rudely.
Matsuri gulped. Regretting asking her in the first place. "Um….I-I have a question….a-about the president."
Hana stopped in her tracks. The boy stopped with a whimper. "Oh boy…."
The blonde girl turned around with her eyes widened. Staring at the boy with not anger, but with shock and just….dumbfounded. Matsuri was taken back a little by her reaction.
"Um….Hana?"
"Sorry, but did you just ask me about Mari?"
"Um….y-yes. Is there a p-problem?"
"Not really but….where did this come from? I mean, you don't really know Mari so I understand why you wanted to ask a question, but why?"
"Well….um….I was just wondering…." The boy's cheeks flushed red.
"Why are you getting flustered all of a sudden?"
"Sorry, it's just that….I don't know if this is personal and if I shouldn't bother with it."
"What? You wanna know what her bust size is?" Hana said with her eyes narrowed.
"N-No! I would never ask for that!" He quickly denied. His face was completely red.
"Really? I thought that was what you were interested in. I mean, Mari is pretty…. right ." The blonde girl said, ending her sentence with a rather seducing tone at the end.
Matsuri's face became completely crimson red, shaking the thoughts from his head. "I-I'm not interested in her bust size or any of her assets!" He denied.
"Sure~. So then what is it?"
"Um…..I was wondering….why does Mari hate male?"
He looked at Hana who wore a surprise look on her face. Seeing her reaction, he believes that no one has ever asked this before. Or it was a question that surprised her.
"Um….Hana?"
"Oh, sorry," She apologized, which surprised him. "Well….I've only known Mari since Middle school, so I'm not all too familiar with why she hates male."
"Oh….I see." The boy was a little disappointed. "So, even you don't know?"
Hana felt a little offended from the way he said that. "What that's supposed to mean!? I already told you I don't know too much about Mari life! We only became friends during middle school and then I met Meiko!"
"R-Right….sorry….I didn't mean to offend you or anything….I just thought I wanted to know a little more about her….like….you know….w-wondering why she hates them."
Hana seized herself for a moment and just looked at him with a curious look. It quickly faded as it was replaced with a blank look. She sighed.
"Look, I don't know where this question came from and I certainly don't know how it all started with her. But I guess I can answer you with what I know at least…."
Matsuri's mood lightened up once more. "Really….you're willing to tell me."
"I don't usually tell anyone about Mari, especially a boy," She glared at him, causing him to swallow in fear. "But I guess I can tell you a bit. Hmm…." The blonde girl began to ponder for a bit. "I guess you could say she really doesn't like perverts."
"Well….that is understandable. But why?"
"...sorry, I don't think this is something I should be telling you."
"Oh…..r-right….."
"I said I'm only sharing a bit of what I know, plus I'm not entirely sure why she hates male. If you're so curious just ask her yourself."
"R-Really?"
"But good luck with that. Remember, she hates you, and so do I and Meiko. If you really want that answer….then you're just gonna need to get her to open up to you."
Matsuri's eyes widened in surprise. He never had that thought occurred to him. Getting not just the president to open up to him, but the rest of the council members. And maybe….just maybe in the long run, he can help the boys in some ways. Even though they got in trouble for being idiots. But still.
"So, if I can get her to open up to me-"
"Hold up. Are you actually thinking of doing something like that?"
"W-Well….maybe I guess…."
Hana scoffed at his response. "Please, Mari would never consider trusting you, a boy." Matsuri felt a little hurt from that. "Forget I said anything. If I were you, I would just stand back and act like a well behaved boy and follow the president's orders. Because once your little friends are out, you're out of our hair…." She walked to him with an intimidating look. "And a good thing too, because I can't stand the fact that you're even in the council."
Matsuri just trembled in fear. Hana truly was frightening when angered. But his true fear was still the president herself….
