"Oh~" Narumi sang, a bamboo katana held in his right hand and rested on his shoulder. Today, he had opted for a simpler outfit – a mahogany brown sweater and a dark grey trouser. It was perfect for fine weather such as today!
" 'No-Star Mikan'~! Today's punisher is Mr. Narumi!" He smiled down at the brown haired girl who looked up at him with a defeated face and a wobbling smile. The girl was late to the homeroom this morning and as the rule instructs, anyone arriving late must be punished! His smile widened into a gleeful grin as he closed his eyes and pumped his fist up cheerfully and elegantly. "So...Your punishment is to clean the Barf Cans!"
(Oh – Narumi's grin widened, reminded of Jinno and his little cozy incident with a trash can yesterday. Mmm, mnn, so intimate, the two were.)
"Yay!" Mikan cheered with tears running down her cheeks while mentally screaming at the thought of doing a punishment, and after lunch break at that too. Hotaru, why didn't you take me with you to school this morning!? Oh, how cruel your love were~
Behind her, Yuu echoed her cheer with a broom in his hand, having volunteered to help with a kind heart. Mikan was grateful and she expressed this by turning around to him a small smile, though tears were still trickling down like rivers.
Speaking of which...
"What's a 'Barf Can'?"
She has a feeling that something wasn't right – She can hear her teacher calling out for the mentioned object, his voice pleasant and beckoning.
"Barf Cans~ Come out!"
Just the name alone is already....
Yuu's eyes widened and his smile froze. "Err...."
It appeared that Alice Academy's public trashcans were specially designed and made, called the 'Barf Can'. After throwing away the trash into the Barf Can, it will automatically decompose the waste and change it into fertilizer or recyclable materials. The ending product would pour out from the trashcan like a vomit and stink horribly, hence the name 'Barf Can'. Although the result wasn't pretty, these trashcans were still popular due to how effective they were. Not to mention, it certainly helps with the environment.
However, at the same time, it doubles as one of the perfect punishments for the student and many lament their fate when being subjected to cleaning it.
Mikan was awed by the explanation. Her nose wrinkled at the mention of vomit-like products but even she could see how good these Barf Cans were.
Alright! She equipped herself with a mask to block out the smell, a broom and garbage bag in her hands to clean and collect the material they need to get out from the Barf Cans.
"Okay, let's begin!"
Other than their vomit and smell, another downside to the Barf Cans was that these trashcans hate eating trash so they run away whenever they see people.
