"So, you will stall around when you go off and have your private chat with Akane and I will be hiding in a spot where she won't see me. Since whatever comes out of her mouth is no good, I know she will say something arrogant to get her way to make you do her errands." Taro explained. "In meaning that if you mention Ms Anger Issues being suspended Akane would surely expose why she got her suspended. With this proof, I can show the principal the truth of what happened yesterday and that should teach her a lesson."

"Alright, stall and mention Akabane's suspension, simple plan but I like it." Karin shrugged. "Wait, what do you mean by the phrase of 'show the principal?' Plus, the Mr. Maegami is Akane's uncle, he wouldn't let her get suspended- or even expelled without thorough proof seen and heard with his very eyes. Also how did you know about me and Akane's private conversation?"

Without a thought of doubt, Taro slipped his hand into his jacket pocket, grabbing out his phone. As he entered the password, Karin's brain was befuddled at what her friend could be doing. Once entered, Taro went scrolling through the apps and found a small app in his Photography and Recordings section. It was a blue circular shape depicting a recording mic in black. As he opened the app, Karin was observing from his shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Karin asked.

"What are you doing?" the app replied in Karin's voice.

"The app is called Voice Recorder, with this, I will be able to record the full conversation from the spot I will be hiding in, that is the answer to you first and second question." Taro responded swiftly. "For your third query, Akane and her colleagues were talking about when we passed by them when you dragged me out of the classroom."

"Well, that explains everything."

A zephyr swept by flicked some of Karin's hair onto her face, making it look messy. Yuzuriha Kaiyo, one of the grade six students and Karin's elder brother walked past the two friends and stopped in front of Karin.

"Why are you here?" she questioned.

"Just saying hi to my younger sister" he replied

"Okay then, hi Onii-chan" Karin said in a jaded reply.

"Also, you left your pocket money at home, Mum said that you can use same of it to buy something from the canteen," Kaiyo said. "since you were too busy talking with you boyfriend I got your favourite banana milk before the canteen closed."

"Arigato, and Shuyona-san is just a friend Onii-chan, nothing more!" Karin yelled.

"Okay, okay I was just teasing you! I'll see you later, you best not be late." Kaiyo greeted before he went off to play basketball with some of his friends.

Kaiyo ran off to play with his friends, Karin and Taro continued with their discussion about the intrigue. "Hence with this plan, it should be able to teach Akane a lesson"

"Alright, just strike a chord before I go home with my brother and sister" Karin requested.

"You and your forgetful brain these days," he chuckled. "don't hassle, I will remember."

The rest of the lunch went momentarily, as the two companions have been talking for quite a long time. The last one hour and 45 minutes were... incredibly loud in Home Economics and History, predictable. The blasting siren of the end of school went, as the History teacher, Mrs Nakamura was explaining what to do with the homework and clearing all the questions asked by the students.

"Make sure that it's precise hist- you know what? Just do the work, don't do it you won't get a grade," Mrs

Nakamura indicated. "you may be excused now."

The students ran out with their homework task as Mrs Nakamura sighed in relief that Class E4 was finally gone. "At this point, I don't even care, they won't listen either way" she mumbled.

Before she would forget, Taro gave Karin a small nudge on the shoulder and whispered "The Scheme" to Karin. She and Taro went their separate ways, on the contrary, go to the spot behind the math block to continue with their plan. Yet Karin could not be late to go home and complete a set of chores given to her and Kaiyo by their parents and sister as they will be coming back late at night.
