Part 25~Revenge

"This is a nice place, Kaho," Seo praised as Kaho nodded.

"Yeah! The coffee here is the best! My Dad's friend owns it. It's my favourite café."

"Yeah? I bet you and Maehara used to come here too."

"No, of course not! You're the first guy I ever brought here." Kaho laughed nervously, holding up her hands. "I'm sorry he was such a jerk yesterday. I had no idea he was like that."

Seo hummed. "But you know how Class E guys are. It's nice sitting outside at an open-air café, watching the rain while other suckers are getting wet and not sitting in a puddle like an idiot, right?!"

Seo laughed as Kaho chuckled. "You're terrible."

"'Scuse us, may we slip past you? We'd like to use that table behind you." The man bowed as his wife pointed at Seo's legs.

"Would you be so kind as to move your feet?"

Seo sat up, lowering his feet. "I would have gotten out of your way if you just walked past me, Grandma! Here you go. That wide enough for you? Need it to be double wide?"

"Perfect," the man pushed past as Seo rolled his eyes.

"Any slower, and they'd be dead." Kaho laughed as Seo returned to his conversation, not noticing that Nagisa and Kayano sat behind him.

"Wow, that's Nagisa?" Keiji felt the urge to reach out and check, half believing Nagisa had been replaced.

"Okuda, do you have the bullets?" Koro-sensei turned as Okuda pulled out the vial.

"Sure do. I made them already, as fast as I could. It wasn't easy shaping them into little super special BBs, though."

She handed the bullets to Chiba and Hayami, the best marksman in the class.

Nagisa's phone buzzed as they sent the message. Everyone was ready.

"Darling, is there a restroom nearby? I saw one at the grocery around the corner, but..." Kayo moved her head about, pretending to look as Nagisa motioned inside.

"There must be one here. Go on inside and ask where it is."

"Oh, yes, that would be much more convenient." Kayo stood up, leaving as Kaho rolled her eyes.

"What a batty old woman. Gives me the creeps."

Nagisa let out a sound as he 'accidentally' knocked the dishes to the ground. Kaho and Seo turned as the guns were fired silently. The BBs landed, one in each drink.

"Bull's eye," Chiba laughed as Hayami hummed.

"A million times easier than trying to hit a target moving at Mach 20."

"What the hell! Quit making a ruckus, you senile old fart!" Seo and Kaho glared back as Nagisa picked up the dishes.

"I'm sorry. I'll leave as soon as my wife returns."

Seo tutted, drinking his coffee. "Some people."

"Sorry," Kaho apologised. "It's not usually like this."

Koro-sensei laughed as he watched. "Now we'll just let the others down below take care of the rest. Suguno nodded, sending the text.

Seo grumbled, his stomach churning. "Hey, what's with the coffee here?"

Kaho held hers, gaping as they fought back. "Don't be stupid. I come here all the time!"

Okuda laughed, looking at her bullet. "The bullet made of magnesium. It is a lot more effective on digestion than any over-the-counter medication. It's basically a super strong laxative. I call it 'Victoria Falls.'"
