050: useless hound

THE PHONE DIDN'T ring once, even though it was well into noon. Hori hadn't called her daughter, she apparently had other things on her mind.
Mina felt weird about Andy. She felt as if he was taking her mother away from her, but she couldn't say that out loud, of course, because she said she'd be okay with it.

Nagisa called an emergency class meeting, and so everyone had to attend. Kimura and kataoka couldn't come, but everyone else was there.

Nagisa told Itona to assemble the desks and chairs in a circle, as to meet in the middle, and currently mina sat on one of chair with legs crossed.
The dog, they bought a blanket for on the way and sat on a desk on the left.

Each student came in one after one, always confusingly observing the animal in the middle.
Nagisa didn't think karma'd show up, but mina said she texted him, and moments later he arrived in the class.

"Karma, I didn't think you'd show," nagisa smiled, letting karma sit in-between him and mina.

"I forced him!" The brunette exclaimed, weirdly bubbly.

"She forced me." Karma sighed, leaning back in his chair. "What's with the dog?"

"Well..."

Koro-sensei was the last one to arrive, through the window as always, and so the meeting started.

"Hello everyone! Nagisa," he "teleported" next to his favourite student "why did you call this meeting?"

"Alright, so," nagisa stood up, making the rest of the class look up to him. "Itona and I were hanging out today when we saw this Bernese mountain dog in a ditch next to a trashcan. He looked hurt, and we wanted to help him, but he kept running away from us."

The blue haired boy was well-liked, and generally able to created a mood with his speeches and phrases.

"So we kept running, right? Well, we ran past mina's friends' bookshop, and she saw us before eventually running too. Sorry for that again," nagisa quickly leaned down, smiling sheepishly.

"Anyways. The dog seemed to like her more, and we were able to take him to a vet."

"Did you guys take him to the one in shibuya?" Rio suddenly asked into the group, "Mr.Spott is SO fine, ugh."

"Yeah, he was really nice." Mina smiled at her friend.

"Hey," karma raised his eyebrows, "what's that supposed to mean?"

"Guys, GUYS, attention, please! He's a Bernese mountain dog, or apparently even some kind of mix with Australia cattle. 45 pounds, medium-sized. He's two years old, so still a baby. His breed is considered calm, intelligent, and somewhat of a gentle giant. I now declare the auction opened!"

Nagisa excitedly threw his hands in the air at the last sentence, but to his disappointment, the class seemed confused.

"Auction for what..?" Isogai asked, trying not to hurt nagisa's feeling too much, as he now looked down at the ground with a pout, defeated

"What nagisa's trying to say," mina stood up, helping her friend, "is that we need someone to adopt the dog, or at least take him in for a while. You don't need to pay any money, but we can't afford financial aid either. Neither of us three can take him, we thought it out. So, volunteers?"

"Sorry, babygorilla, but I'm more of a cat girl," Rio was the first one to answer, the other ones were still processing.

"Yeah, me too!" Sugino immediately agreed with Rio, making her look at him weirdly.

"There's absolutely no way I'm taking in a dog. My apartment's cranked as it is." Terasaka seemed unbothered.

"Okay, well," mina clapped her hands together, not trying to let this make her give up "that's not the end of the world. I actually think I have an idea as to where he can stay."
