"We will be using these in order to protect our faces! Do you like them?" Koharu asked as he took out the props that will help them conceal their identities. He packed kabuki masks for every one of them. The mask was white mostly white with feminine lips colored with maroon and has black and yellow patterns on the cheeks and eyes. 

Everyone was smart enough to dress in mostly black with hoods to protect the color of their hair; without being able to identify their distinct features, they wouldn't be caught so easily. 

"Ew! Yuu-kun! That is disgusting! Ew! Ew! Ew! Fish guts!" Koharu pinched his nose as Yuuji brought in two buckets of fish guts. 

"But Koharu! This is necessary to save Apple-chan!" 

"...it better be worth it!" 

"It will, my dearest!" 

Shiraishi picked up a mask and he put it on with a serious face. If you do not know the reason why they're doing this, it would look like they're about to pull off a heist. There's no hesitation in Shiraishi's eyes anymore, he's going to make sure the uncertainty of the plan will become a certainty!

"Is everyone ready?" Shiraishi asked when he put the mask on and throwing the hood over his head. "We'll communicate with our cell phones, okay? Kenya, are you ready?" 

Kenya already has his mask on and he looked at Shiraishi. "Yeah." 

"Are you okay?" Shiraishi wondered if Kenya was okay; Zaizen really worked him up today, enough to make Kenya want to punch him. Shiraishi wanted to let Kenya's fist meet the 2nd year's face but he cannot condone violence between members. 

"I'm fine. Let's go and get her out." The plan relied on acting quickly and everyone was sure Kenya will be able to get her out of there without any problems. 

"Are we ready?!" When Shiraishi asked this question, he's got a strong reply from each of them. "Then...let's go!" 

Just one more corner and it's her house. Shiraishi took a deep breath before putting on the kabuki mask. He looked at Chitose and Koishikawa to see if they were ready. 

"All right, once you guys see he's out, I want you two to act as lookouts in case the police comes." Shiraishi said to the Baka Pair. He then looked at Gin and apologetically looked at him, "I know this will be hard on you. It's wrong to break into someone's house no matter how we look at it..." 

"It's okay. The Buddha will forgive you." 

"Gin-san...I want you to use the 108th Hadoukyuu on the glass door." Shiraishi then looked at Kenya, "The rest is up to you, okay?" 

Kenya forced a smile on his face, "It will be fine! I am the Speed Star of Naniwa!" He then looked at Shiraishi with a serious look on his face, "I'll definitely save her. What do we do when we save her?" 

"Depends on her condition. If it's something serious, you think we can take her to the private hospital where your parents work?" 

"I think that can be arranged..." Kenya gave him the thumbs up, "Well? Aren't you going to open the curtains for us? The show is about to start." 

Shiraishi nodded and he put the mask on along with Chitose and Koishikawa. Chitose and Shiraishi carried a bucket of fish guts and they made their way to the front of the house. 

"Do it." Koishikawa heard Shiraishi and Chitose speak at the same time and he pressed for the door bell. When the first bell did not get any attention, he pressed for it again until he can hear someone approaching the door. Koishikawa moved himself out of the way as the door opened.
