MPK: So I've finally gotten to listen to most of the new songs from Starish's solo best albums and...Otoya's "I am here" broooooo~! Especially Ai to Yoberu Ki no Shita de~! It's the saddest thing I've ever heard him sing! He even hinted at his depression and I~! I love my boi, what else can I even say?

P.S. - If you aren't playing Shining Live for the music and the URs, what are ya doin'? What are ya even doin'?

"OOH, KASAKURA-CHAN! YOU FRUSTRATE ME SO!"

"Yes, Ringo-sensei."

"Being in class is important! Paying attention to lectures is important!"

"Yes, Ringo-sensei."

"All I ask is for your attendance, attention, and participation in school daily! You are here to learn! What will it take to get it through your pretty little head?! Huh!?"

"..."

"GRRRRRRR!" Ringo-sensei bit his handkerchief, pulling on the ends of it. "Ah mou! What am I going to do with you!?" He slammed the desk. "Well...at least you placed in the Pair vs Pair contest." Ringo's face suddenly lit up with a smile.

'That's right...the contest...' I thought to myself. '...I never found out the results.'

"I'm proud of your progress at Saotome Academy, KaSakura-chan. Musicwise definitely, but the attitude could use a bit more work though." Sensei sat back in his desk chair. "Honestly, when your persona begins to match your musical ability, you'll be an amazing idol. I truly believe that." He smiled with satisfaction. "Now. As punishment for missing classes this week...ah. Is there even a point to assigning you all detention at this point? It never seems to help any of you!" He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ugh, and it's too close to the school trip to give you a new assignment."

"School trip?" I perked my head up at the new information.

Ringo waved me off, "You'll find out about it in detail soon enough." He muttered, still in his own thoughts. "Tell you what KaSakura-chan, serve detention tomorrow. Then after the trip, I'll give you your alternative assignment and catch you up on the lectures you missed."

"...okay."

Ringo-sensei puffed his cheeks at my dead tone of voice. "Child! You are so lucky I like you!" He squeezed my cheeks in his hand, "I don't go easy on just anyone! You should know that by now!" He slapped my left cheek, "The school trip is too important for any student to miss, so we have to work around it. I won't let my precious student fall behind, but I DEFINITELY won't let you fail! Even if you plan to secretly quit or something after graduation! WHICH BETTER NOT HAPPEN!" He screamed in my face.

"Yes, Sensei! Yes, Sensei!" I told him.

Ringo crept close to me as if to see if I was lying. "Um-hmmmmmmm." I swallowed hard, his glare not lightening as he pulled back to an appropriate length again. "I'm keeping my eye on you, KaSakura-chan." He let me go and I massaged my face. "Remember, you're under my watch until graduation, Melody. I'm going to make sure you pass! No ifs, ands, or buts! Do I make myself clear!?"

"Yes, Ringo-sensei. Very clear."

Sensei sat back once more. He folded his arms, "Good. Meet me back here after classes today." He looked down, "Oh dear, I almost forgot." Ringo pulled a box from under his desk. "This was supposed to go...urrr..." Sensei looked to me, "...To the supply closet! Please take this there. Then you're free to go to dinner." I bowed respectfully, accepting the heavy cargo. Then I left the pink-haired male to silently grade his stack of papers.
