Karma's Innocent Fiancée

Chapter 5 - School Trip Time, 1st Period

" Nagisa, have you confirmed all of your group members? " Kataoka asked as Nagisa blinked in confusion.

" Group members? " he asked.

" Once you've confirmed them, tell me or Isogai. " Kataoka instructed as she left him alone.

" Did you forget? We are having a school trip to Kyoto next week! " Kayano explained, excited.

" What on earth were they thinking? Having a school trip right after exams? " Koro-sensei said 'sternly', " I can't say I approve it. "

" You're totally into it! " Maehara shouted.

" An apprentice geisha?! " Mimura yelled.

" And it kinda looks good on him! " Okajima complimented frustratedly.

Koro-sensei's words contradicted what he was wearing. Koro-sensei immediately changed into his normal clothing and took off the makeup.

" Saw right through me. " he blushed as he sheepishly rubbed his head with a tentacle, " Yes, in fact, I can hardly wait to go on this trip with you. "

During physical education period...

" As you know, next week is our two-night school trip to Kyoto. " Karasuma addressed, " Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but you're still on duty. "

" You mean we can assassinate him there? " Okano asked.

" Exactly. " Karasuma nodded, " Kyoto is far larger and more complex than this school, and you'll be moving in groups that he'll be following. It's an ideal location for snipers. The government has made arrangements for sharpshooters to join you. If they succeed, they'll share the ten billion yen bounty based on the degree of their contribution. Be sure to pick out assassination-friendly places. "

" Hai. "

" School trip groups, huh? Hey, Karma-kun, want to be in my group? " Nagisa offered.

" Hmm? Yeah, okay. As long as Asuna can come along. " he pulled Asuna to his side who smiled and held up a peace sign.

" You sure about that, Karma? You won't be picking fights and getting into trouble on our trip, right? " Sugino asked, sceptical.

" No worries! " Karma grew demon horns and a tail as he held up a picture of two students who held up their id, " When I fight offsite, I make sure to silence any witnesses, so the whole thing stays hush-hush. "

" Oi! You can't let him in our group! " Sugino whispered to Nagisa.

" But we are old friends... " Nagisa trailed off.

" Don't worry! I'll keep him on a leash! " Asuna offered, relieving Sugino at least a little.

" So where's our sixth? Nagisa, Sugino, Kayano, Asuna, me and...? " Karma asked.

" I invited Okuda-san! " Kayano chimed in as she pulled said girl in front of her.

" So, where's the seventh? Koro-sensei had said there could be one group of seven since our class has an odd number. " Asuna asked.

Sugino then chuckled, " I knew this time would come so I asked her a very long time ago. "

" How about the class idol, Kanzaki-san? " Sugino brought said girl in front of the others.

" No objections here! " the girls said cheerfully.

" Thank you for having me. " Kanzaki bowed.
