I had to clean the class after school today, so I stayed. Midori left already, since he wanted to help at the store.

I was peacefully swiping the floor when a knock came from the classroom door.

"Good evening, young lady... May I ask something?" Rei, the one who knocked, peeked inside. I put down the broom and walked towards him.

"Good evening... Sakuma-senpai. Umm... you don't look good... are you okay?" I asked, concerned. Of course I am when he has dark circles under his eyes and a restless expression.

Rei smiled weakly. "No need to worry, young lady... I just didn't get enough sleep lately... It's getting hotter too" he fanned himself. "No, no. Let's sit down first" I grabbed his hand and helped him walk to a seat.

He slumped on the chair. "Thank you, I have to admit I've been restless lately... There's something big that's keeping me awake" he spoke.

I raise an eyebrow. "You don't need to know about it... It's a revolution. That's all I'm telling you. I was told not to get you involved since you are technically not an official student here" he explained, as if reading my mind.

Revolution again, huh? Anzu said the same thing. Fine, if I really can't know, I won't bother them.

"Um, anyway, what do you want to ask me?" I got back to the topic. "Oh, yes. Have you seen the puppy anywhere? Or the twins?" he asked.

I presume he meant Koga, Hinata and Yuta. I shook my head. "No, why's that? Is there anything you need from them?"

"We have something to discuss... but I forgot to tell them. But I reckon they're still in the school. If you haven't seen them, then it's okay. I'll continue looking for them" Rei began to stand up.

I sat him back down. "Nope! You're not in good shape right now, you need some rest. I'll help you" I offered. Rei looked at me in disbelief. "Really, young lady?" he asked.

I nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I'm done with the cleaning, so tell me what I need to do"

He smiled. "Thank you, I appreciate it. You just need to search for them and tell them to go to the band club room. I'll head there when I feel better" he told.

"Alrighty! Just rest, alright, Sakuma-senpai? Ill head off now" I waved at him and walked out the door.

I recalled Koga mumbling about going to the rooftop today. So, that's where I'm headed to first.

And there he was. With... Makoto?

"Warghhh!!! We're friends, right? Don't do this to meee!!!" Makoto screamed. I peeked through the door in fear. "Who's your friend, four-eyed beansprout?!"

I watched in shock as Koga suddenly kicked Makoto off the building. I dashed out of my hiding spot. "Wait!!! Stop! What are you doing??!!" I shouted. Koga looked at me. "Huh? Whatcha doing here?" he seemed shocked.

"That doesn't matter! What have you done to him?!" I rushed towards the edge. To my relief, Makoto is tied to a rope. However, that doesn't make this better.

"Help him up, help him up! Makoto, are you okay?!" I shouted, grabbing onto the rope. "I-Im okayyy!!??" he answered. Not convinced.

I started pulling the rope. "I'll get you out of whatever this is!" I pulled it harder.

"W-wait, you misunderstood me... Ahhhh" Koga sighed roughly.

...

After getting Makoto back up, he and Koga explained everything. Turns out, Koga had been asked by Rei to train Makoto's courage.
