Chapter 53: Assasinations continue

Chapter 53: Assasinations continue

(Tadaomi's pov)

After Ryoto left, I was thinking carefully about my options. Should I keep my promise or not. I know it would be unethical to do it, but he is a dangerous unknown thrown into another problem. He is strong and probably didn't use all of his strength to lift up his classmate. And there are his eyes. I don't know if they just look different or there is anything more to them, and after this octopus showed up, nothing will surprise me.

As I was deep in my thoughts, I felt a tentacle on my shoulder. I instantly tried to cut it down, but not only he avoided my attack, but he also took a knife from my hand with a folded piece of paper.

Koro-sensei: "You don't need to worry about Yuuki-kun too much, you know."

Tadaomi: "And why do you say that?"

Koro-sensei: "As his teacher, I need to take care of him after all, so he can grow splendidly. Plus, the look in his eyes reminded me of someone."

In the last sentence, I could hear sorrow.

Tadaomi: "Was that someone you met before or after you stopped being human?"

Koro-sensei: "..."

I didn't get the answer, but I decided to observe Ryoto without notifying higher-ups, for now.

Tadaomi: "Fine, I won't report on him, but one wrong move and the military may be involved!"

Koro-sensei: "I won't let it happen."

He laughed confidently.

(Ryoto's pov)

I returned home happy that I could somehow defuse the bomb that I created by being too hot-headed. Before I went home, I stopped by a grocery store to buy some things. I looked at what was on sale as my money was limited.

At home, I tried looking up some easy recipes I would try to make with the ingredients I bought today. If I could be so bold to say that I'm pretty good at following instructions, and that includes recipes as well. I don't know what happened, but my food didn't turn up as I wished to, but it wasn't bad by any means but wasn't good either. It was edible, and that's all that matters. I'll improve in the future... hopefully.

She looked at me and tried to recall in what order she asked the questions. While she was in her thoughts, I returned to watching Koro-sensei's shenanigans. He started touching Tomohito's whole body with his tentacles. My expression didn't change as I pulled out my phone and dialed a 110.

Ryoto: "Hello, police? I would like to report a crime. A teacher is touching his student improperly. Where? Everywhere. Please come soon. I'm scared for student's safety."

I spoke loud enough for Koro-sensei to hear, and he panicked at my words.

Koro-sensei: "Wait!! Your sensei doesn't do anything suspicious, I swear!!!"

As Koro-sensei was panicking, I shot at him with my pistol. Unfortunately, he dodged it, but he was sweating nervously.

Ryoto: "Looks like I'll need to try harder."

I said as I spun my weapon on my finger, looking playful.

Koro-sensei: "One of these days, you'll give me a heart attack with your jokes."

Ryoto: "Would it count as a kill or a death by natural cause?"

Everyone looked at me in silence.

Ryoto: "...What? It's an important question."

Koro-sensei: That reminds me, Yuuki-kun, can you stay with me after classes?"

Ryoto: "Sure."

And so I waited for the end of the school, curious what sensei wanted to talk with me.
