Ansatsu Kyoushitsu

Which Side Should I Choose?

"Save Koro-sensei? You mean, a way to keep him from exploding even the March comes?"
Kimura ask, and this time I ask an another question to Nagisa.
"Then where are we going to start Nagisa?"
"I don't know, I don't know but..."
"I am in!"
Everyone's gaze turn to smiling Kurahashi.
"I want to look for more bugs with Koro-sensei!"
Then Kataoka, then Hara, Sugino, Fuwa, Okano...
While people were stepping to front, I was thinking about what to do while taking glances at Karma, who was showing no emotions right now.

"I hate to spoil the mood but, I am against the idea."

I look at Nakamura, like everyone else was doing.
"Our relationship is a bond between an assassin and a target, like Koro-sensei said. And I really treasure that bond we have built over this past. But that is the exactly why I think we have to kill him."
With Nakamura's words, some people start to stand behind Nakamura. But still, me and Karma were standing there, trying to find out what is going to happen.
"Against him?..."
"How are you even planning to save him? What would happen if you couldn't find a solution until March?"
"It isn't like we didn't think about it for once, but we don't want to end our relationship with something half-assed like this."
"B-But isn't it at least worth con-"

"It is always the talented ones, mistakenly thinking everything will go in their way... Hey, Nagisa-kun, aren't you getting full of yourself?"

Now, I wasn't taking glances at him, I was directly looking at Karma.
"In here, E Class, you are the most gifted assassin. And you are suggesting to quit this assassination? Have you ever think about the talentless students, who have been trying their hardest to kill him?"

Karma?...
What are you talking about?...

"To put it in another way, it is like a hot woman telling a bunch of ugly women to all quit trying so hard to find a boyfriend."
What kind of an example is that?
I look at Nagisa, who was in a little bit pinch right now.
"I-I didn't mean it that way... And, you are definitely better than me in assassination..."
"I am getting more irritated because you say those kind of things. Isn't it just you can't understand the feeling of the less powerful one?"
"No! That's not it! I am just trying to be honest with my feelings!"
Nagisa shout at the Karma who was definitely irritated right now. And deep inside my heart, I was feeling like something was going to happen.

Something really bad.

"Do you hate Koro-sensei Karma? Even though we had that much fun?!"
"That's it! That octopus try to do everything he could to make this classroom into a fun one, so lazy losers like you wouldn't appear! This classroom can't exist anymore if our bloodlust gey blury! Can't you see all his hard work?! Or do you have a little-kid brain to match your body?"
God... I must stop, as fast as I can.
But even though I was feeling like that my legs weren't moving at all.

Nagisa look down for once, then look up back at Karma.
"What's is... that look Nagisa-kun?"
"I just..."
Then suddenly, Karma push Nagisa to back.
"Got something to say? How about you say it after beating me in a fight for once? I will gladly take you on. Bring it! Come on. Come on! Come on!"
Karma say at Nagisa, while pushing him more than once. I was finally able to stand up.
"Karma! You are doing-"
Suddenly, Nagisa jump and wrap his legs around Karma, while holding his hand.

"A flying triangle choke?! But when did Nagisa learn something hard-core like that?"
I say with an amazed tone, whole looking at the sight in front of me. However, he was no match for Karma, like the others did. When Karma take out his hand and clench into a fist, I jump on Karma.
When I noticed, I was holding Karma with Maehara and Isogai. While Sugino was holding Nagisa himself.
"Stop that!"
"This guy is too crazy!"
"Karma! Please stop! Please!"
I shout at him and finally, he stops with my soothing voice. Then suddenly, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"A junior-high schoolers fight?
Excellent!"

I turn to voice and my eyes meet with Koro-sensei's.
"But since it is a class based on assassination, how about you decide things with paintball?"
Koro-sensei really? We are talking about your students fighting with each other you know?...
"Red for those who want to kill me, blue for those who don't. Everyone should decide their position, then their color."
I was taking glances at Karma, while Koro-sensei was talking. It wasn't a thing which he will do.

It definitely wasn't.

"If you care about me, just promise that you aren't going to end this classroom while being separated."
Then Isogai stand in front of the class and nod.
"Then decide with these. Killing him, or saving him?"
With Isogai's words, everyone start to choose their sides, starting with Chiba and Hayami.
While everyone was saying why they were chosing their sides, I was still couldn't choose which side to chose.

Finally, Nagisa take his weapon from the blue box, when Karma take his weapon from the red box.
They "Hmph!" to each other, walk at their own sides.
"Those two are friends for a while right?"
"Yeah, they have been in the same class since their first years, and they hang out together a lot too."
"But still, it feels like they have got a gap between them..."

While I was listening to Sugino's and Kayano's talking, I noticed that everyone was looking at me.
Yes, it was my turn to decide a side.
"Come on Ichigo-san. You are the last."
I smile at Koro-sensei and walk towards him.
I look at Karma then to the two boxes in front of me.
Was I going to chose Karma's side at the end?...

"Ichigo-san?"
I look up and see that Koro-sensei is smiling. I smile and look at the two boxes in front of me.
"Koro-sensei, I know that I am still a newbie here, and don't know anything about you that much."
Even though I actually know about  a lot...

"But even if it is like that, I can understand the bond between you and us. And I want to treasure that bond, save that bond."
I lean to the one of the boxes and grab my weapon, under Karma's shocked eyes.
"But I don't want to treasure that bond with killing you! So that way..."

"I will be in the 'Don't Kill' side."
