Chapter 67: Ritsu

(Ryoto's pov)

After I returned inside the inn, I returned to my room where apparently all the boys were using at the moment. They were making a popularity ranking. Yukiko was in the first place, and Kayano was in 4th. Rio was a lot lower than I expected, though.

Yuma: "Great timing, Yuuki. Are you interested in any girls in our class?"

Hiroto: "Everyone already said theirs, so you're not getting out of this one. By the way, Karma chose Okuda."

Ryoto: "It's a tough choice. I can't decide between Kaede and Rio."

Hiroto: "Predictable."

Taiga: "It really is, isn't it."

Tomohito: "Really? I didn't notice anything."

Hiroto: "That's because you have baseball for brains."

Ryoto: "Wait, what are you talking about?"

Yuma: "You see, we made a small bet about who you would choose, and by the way, I won, so pay up, boys."

Karma: "I told you guys that he would choose both."

Yuma: "And I'm glad I listened."

Ryoto: "You shouldn't gamble, you know that?"

Everyone looked at me strangely. Did I say something wrong?

Hiroto: "...You say gambling is bad?"

Taiga: "Mr. Let's make a bet?"

I crossed my arms and looked away.

Ryoto: "...ok, I'm just annoyed that someone made money out of me without my knowledge."

Taiga: "...So you would be alright with it if you got something out of it?"

Ryoto: "Precisely."

Karma: "That's why I got you this!"

He took some of the money and gave me. I obviously accepted it and counted it. Happy with the amount, I smiled.

Ryoto: "And that's why you are my friend Karma."

No one knew what to say.

The rest of the trip went as usual. Nothing of notice has happened besides Koro-sensei writing down the ranking of the girls and him listening to girls' gossip. He brought on himself the wrath of everyone, but it was still fun.

Today we got a new transfer student who is an assassin.

Koro-sensei: "...Hrmm, even if you say it like that, I can't really..."

Box: "These restraints were your doing, weren't they? This is obvious violence against a student. I believe that is prohibited through your contract."

Ryoma: "You've got it wrong. I did it."

Answered Terasaka while holding a tape in his hand.

Ryoma: "This'll probably interfere with whatever you were planning, but come kill him after you've gotten yourself some common sense, you piece of junk."

Everyone agreed with what Teraska did. To be honest, it is surprising that he could do something useful.

I started fake crying.

Ryoto: "I can't believe it. Terasaka did something smart."

Ryoma: "You asshole..."

Ryoto: "Don't be so mad, here take a lollipop."

He slapped away the candy I was giving him. What kind of blasphemy is that? To refuse a lollipop.

The lessons went as usual without any interference, and we removed the tape at the end of the school.

The next day the box became bigger, and when it turned on, we were welcomed by a full screen of a girl.

Box: "Good morning! Kayano-San, Nakamura-San, Yuuki-San!"

Koro-sensei, behind us, started explaining how he upgraded her to create a sense of familiarity.

The new student became a part of the class, and we even gave her the nickname Ritsu. She was a real 2-D waifu. She was like a real person. She even stopped assassination attempts to not disturb the lessons.

The day after, however, she returned back to her previous self, or so one would think. The moment she was about to start shooting, instead of guns came out flowers.

Ritsu: "I promised to make some flowers..."

I vaguely remember that promise.

Ritsu: "Master deemed that Koro-sensei's modifications are unnecessary for assassination and they were deleted, dismantled and reset, but I personally deemed the 'power of cooperation' to be an indispensable element of assassination and hid the related software in the corner of my memory bank before it could be erased."

She then gave a sweet smile.

Ritsu: "I suppose that my 'rebellious phase' has begun. Would it make 'Ritsu' a bad girl?"

Koro-sensei: "Of course not. That is perfectly acceptable behavior for a 3rd-year junior high student."

And so, class E got a new ally among themselves.
