Marina had Nodoka tied up. The girl from the Spec Ops No. 227 club was sobbing, saying that she only admired Sensei from afar.

''Marina... I think you don't need to keep her tied up.''

As soon as she was released, she hugged her favorite person.

''How have you been?''

''Sensei...'' Nodoka was crying rivers with a face full of snot, ''It's been hell... That midget is a liar...''

''Midget?!''

''I've helped her back to the president's post five times, and still she has me in the thickest part of the mountain with Shigure starving to death!''

''Five times...'' Sensei gave her some headpats. ''You're a very kind girl.''

''Sensei...'' Nodoka's face lit up.

''Fallacies! Comrade, her punishment continues because unseemly pictures of you were found in her possession...'' Sensei was stunned.

''D-d-d-d-don't believe her, Sensei!''

''...And also information about your private life.''

''Would you shut up you damn brat! You know that's all a lie! All that stuffs were found on me more than nine months ago and you still have me there!...'' Nodoka realized what she had said, ''I-I-I-I-I mean...'' The girl fell to her knees and cried harder.

Sensei bent down. He was at the same height as her and stopped her crying for a moment. She looked him in the eyes.

''Are you angry?'' She asked him.

He searched through the things he carried with him, took out a handkerchief, and a chocolate. He cleaned her face, blew her nose, and gave her the chocolate. Cherino looked enviously at the chocolate she was eating. Putting his hand on her head he told her no and not to do that again.

It was time for Sensei to leave. The Red Winter student council, along with Nodoka, accompanied the counselor to the station.

''It's time for me to go.''

Nodoka was completely discourage, even with the chocolate in her mouth. The educator got on the train.

''Will you stay there?''

''Comrade, I have a responsibility to this academy that I cannot abandon.''

''No... I was not telling to you...''

''You were telling Tomoe?'' Cherino asked in confusion.

''No...''

''Marina?''

''Nodoka... I was telling Nodoka... Her ExSkill will be very useful to me.''

''And me?'' Questioned the adorable despot.

''I'm entrusting you with a very important mission. I'm worried about what might happen if the girls spend too much time in that lethargy. So please simulate that state as much as you can.''

''It seems I have no choice but to give you a hand, comrade.''

Tomoe took Cherino to the student council room, prepared warm milk and a blanket. Once covered with the blanket, she realized that the comrade had tricked her into taking a nap, but she forgot about it when she woke up.

On the train, Sensei and Nodoka took seats next to each other. The train began to move.

''Shigure!'' Sensei got up in fright.

''What's wrong?''

''I forgot about her... We can't leave her out there in that condition...''

''Ah! Don't worry about her. She'll be fine.''

''Really?''

''Yes,'' Nodoka sat him down again, ''She's with the bear.''

''With your teddy bear?''

''No, he's here,'' Nodoka snuggled up to Sensei's shoulder.

''So?''

''With the grizzly bear''

''A grizzly... grizzly bear?'' Nodoka nodded.

''Howdid she...? You know what... forget it...''
