#kayano kaede

Due to some adjustments on the Baidu forums, links to the extracts of Okuda, Kataoka and Kayano’s profiles were mismatched, but have now been repaired on my Character Profile posts

Credits to young-il-long-kiyoshi, the profiles for Kataoka andKayano now have the Fashion Check section included.  This is between Karasuma’s Assassination Aptitude and Character Relationships

As a reminder, Roll Book Time was released alongside Volume 13, hence its contents are based on events that have happened up to Chapter 115.

In other words, based on events before the 2nd Trimester Final Exams, and before the storm.

Main credits go to a certain Baidu forumer for translating the profiles from the Roll Book Time Databook to a language I understand.
In accordance with her wish, her screenshots from the book will not be copied elsewhere, so refer to the following link to see extracts of Kayano’s profile:

Extracts of Kayano’s profile

And because this is a Japanese -> Chinese -> English translation, while I have endeavoured to keep things as accurate as possible, not everything may be successfully conveyed across

E-7 Kayano Kaede (茅野 カエデ) – the moodmaker who looks after everyone from behind

Description

Code Name: Forever 0 (永遠の０/ Eien no Zero), Muramatsu’s idea

The roll book had noted that her bust size was 0, so all Muramatsu did was just bring that across. If she has an opinion, go look for the person who said she was 0 in the first place!

B*tch-sensei’s Fashion Check (credits to young-il-long-kiyoshi)

To me it looks rather immature, but given your age group isn’t that just about right? You effectively use accessories and it’s important to enjoy being fashionable. Well, for a woman it’s something to polish together with growing into adulthood.

School Uniform

The uniform is a little too big for her but its orthodox otherwise. Like most other girls her age her skirt is on the short side.

Street Clothes

Just like her bright and cute personality, she likes to dress well with a girly style. Did she stack her loose logoed T-shirt over her polka dot tank top to perfectly hide her figure?

Character Relationships

- Shiota Nagisa (addressed as Nagisa) -

Nagisa was the first friend she made after joining Class E. If one appears the other follows behind, the teamwork between the two is good, and their friendship also look like there’s some added import to it as well. Their seats are next to each other’s as well.

- Okano Hinata (addressed as Okano-san) -

A pair who have no confidence in their small figure. Everyday these two distressed souls hold onto the belief that their femininity will one day blossom.

- Yada Touka (addressed as Yada-san) -

At Okinawa, she was moved by Yada’s views on self-improvement. In Kayano’s mind, even when they stay silent, girls with huge chests will still have high levels of femininity, which is almost like cheating. But that view has begun to change.

(TN: What I took from this is that, Kayano feels that simply having a huge chest is like an unfair shortcut for girls to have high levels of Joshiryoku, without needing to do anything else/work hard in order to achieve that.

So for Yada to express the need to polish herself, Kayano was thoroughly impressed, like her beliefs were shaken.)

- Okuda Manami (addressed as Okuda-san) -

Kayano will actively engage in conversation with the easily isolated Okuda. Also invited her to join their group on the Field Trip.

- Kanzaki Yukiko (addressed as Kanzaki-san) -

She’s constantly concerned about the ever-reserved Kanzaki. The incident on the Field Trip actually became a good thing for the two of them (relationship-wise)

- Hara Sumire (addressed as Hara-san) -

Because her cooking is really impressive, they once hung out to come up with “a method for creating the ultimate pudding”, and they have continued to hang out ever since.

- Fuwa Yuzuki (addressed as Fuwa-san) -

Because their seats are close, she tends to spend break time with Hara and Fuwa. Playing the quick-fire straight man (Tsukkomi) to Fuwa’s various manga topics became its own daily mandatory seminar.

- Kurahashi Hinano (addressed as Kurahashi-san) -

A fellow appreciator of sweets. There was one time when the two of them brought all the sweets they had, and held a sweets exhibition contest. If they were to go into a supermarket or an underground mall, they will excitedly leave behind Nagisa and the others to their own devices (while they hunt around for sweets)

(TN: I found the “Nagisa and the others” bit noteworthy. It doesn’t matter if the “others” were a same or mixed gender group. What’s most important, is that Nagisa gets to come along on Kayano’s shopping sprees!)

Matsui-sensei’s Exclusive Behind the Scenes Data

• She had suddenly transferred to Kunugigaoka Middle School in her 3rd year, so she never entered the Main Building’s elite classes. Usually works together with Nagisa, and because they look similar from behind, they’re often mistaken for twins.

• She’s not the type who likes to step in front, and she’s petite and bright too, overall her personality is not one that gets upset easily nor leans towards disorder, which lets her function as one of the moodmakers who cheer on the class.
  (The example with her caring about Kanzaki even in a pinch points to this)

http://www.ansatsu-anime.com/special/special01/index.php

Some time before the 2nd Cour aired (before Episode 12 in early April), the Anime seiyuu of the Class E students and teachers were asked to provide some Cast Comments.

I’m certain many of you are curious to hear from one person in particular, so here’s the Comments for Aya Suzaki, the voice of Kayano Kaede.

I’m not as good with conversational dialects, so I hope I did this right.

Also, please don’t ask me to do this for everyone, my time is quite finite.

1. Did you have any points in mind when preparing for the part you will play, like what makes your role appealing?

Generally speaking bright and cheerful, I was conscious about acting out the cuteness of a mascot character!

2. Has your impression of the character you played changed before and after post-recording?

My image of Kaede, from the beginning to the current episodes, hasn’t shook at all.

3. Please tell us about the highlights of the work (the series)

You wonder if everyone in 3-E will become fine assassins, and whether it will result in them being able to assassinate Korosensei…!

And for the 2nd Cour, everyone’s unexpected sides and talents are going to be depicted one by one, so look forward to it!

4. Please leave some comments for fans of the work

The original work has entered some very eyecatching development, so the Anime has become more and more unmissable!

Please treat Korosensei and everyone in 3-E well for the 2nd Cour too ☆

Can anyone translate this comic?

http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=49420129

Not quite a translation, but here’s a brief summary of this comic.

Keep in mind this was written after Chapter 132 but before Chapter 133 was published, and that this is ultimately a fan comic.

Contains Spoilers

Page 1 - 3:

Ever since the battle, whether it’s just a simple greeting or asking for help during lesson time, Kayano has been avoiding eye contact with Nagisa. The last bit is him asking if they want to go home together, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

Sugino and Karma remind Nagisa how intense that kiss was, and how Kayano has every right to be embarrassed.

Sugino gives Nagisa the idea of fishing Kayano out with pudding. To his disbelief, “I actually caught something!!”

Ultimately, Nagisa decides to chase after Kayano, because there is still something he needs to find out from her.

Page 4 - 6:

Before she knew it, she ran all the way to the rear mountain. She remarks that she has gotten weak without her tentacles.
Seeing that Nagisa followed her, she does her best not to make a sound. At such a time, she thinks that being small and having green hair is a good thing (ie useful for hiding/camouflaging).

Her thoughts turn to how she failed at revenge, and she doesn’t have her tentacles anymore.
“I couldn’t kill him with my own hands. Sister … I’m sorry”
She’s about to cry, and she doesn’t want anyone to see her like this.

Page 7 - 10:

“Especially not Nagisa …”
“Found you”

“Hey, why are you crying Kayano!? Did that (incident) make you this unhap-”
“No. Not that… I was just thinking about my sister”

“I’m sorry, Kayano … even though I only wanted to help you, the fact that I did that so suddenly …”
“Akari” “Huh?”

“Look at me. Call me Akari.
Just now, what I said about how I didn’t care about this or that, it was a lie …
It’s because it’s Nagisa that I’m very happy, I’m grateful that you saved me.
Ah!! This isn’t an act, really!”

“ … A … Aka … ri …”

“Nuruhuhuhu” Just then, they notice ‘I am a tree’ Korosensei. Understandably, they proceed to kill him.
“But Sensei really wanted to see his students make out!!”  

“This teacher sure is sleazy!”

Well they couldn’t kill him again this time. “But we still have until March to kill him. Let’s take revenge together.”
“Yeah”

Mach 20 Scans’ translation of Chapter 132 used “I’ll never accept it” and “I refuse to believe”. While this is adequate in terms of storytelling, it actually has a lot less impact than the actual line.

Simply put, Nagisa was supposed to sound considerably more forward.

Contains spoilers

This is what the raw text says:

言わせないよ茅野　全部演技だったなんて
E組での思い出　皆で楽しく過ごした事　復讐しか頭に無かったなんて…僕が言わせない

The key is the phrase 言わせない

• 言う (iu) means “to say”
• 言わせる (iwaseru) is the causative form of the verb, which can mean “let/allow to say”
• And 言わせない (iwasenai) is the negative form of the above, meaning “not let/allow to say”

So a better translation of Nagisa’s line is:

You don’t get to say it, Kayano, that it was all an act
All of our Class E memories… all the good times we had with everyone… that nothing but revenge was on your mind… I won’t let you say it

僕が言わせないby空凪onpixiv

There’s a reason why a number of 132-related artwork on Pixiv are titled 僕が言わせない (“I won’t let you say it”). Because Nagisa was just, that, manly.

Seriously, who would’ve thought our short, little, pigtailed assassin could be so bold.

It’s a long time coming, but here’s the last part of my Korotan C Rough Summary. Credits to @blazardragon​ for help with proofreading.

Overall, I enjoyed Korotan C, mostly because our beloved middle school hitmen get to play elite bodyguard to royalty, assassin against assassin, with plenty of glorious moments to go around everyone. The way everyone is so in-character and making the whole ride fun is icing on the cake. If only this got an Anime adaptation…

Previously on Korotan C: Princess Lea of Norgo Kingdom visits Kunugigaoka for a Debate Rally, but she’s decided to sneak out of her hotel and into the city. Thanks to the efforts of Class 3-E and Asano Gakushuu, a plot to assassinate her has been foiled, and she is saved.

Facing no objections from his father, Asano continued to stand in the middle of the Embassy grounds. Lea slowly walked up to him, extending a hand.

“Thank you so very much, you were so brave.”

Asano extended a hand in return, and the two shook hands, a smile on her face.

Before they know it, Class E, who had been chattering nonstop just a moment ago, encircled the two of them like a school of goldfish, as though they don’t want to miss out on some memorable moment.

“Oh right, earlier you asked me to say something funny. I finally thought of one, based on a quote from someone great.

Curious as to what sort of funny thing could come out of Asano’s mouth, Class E leaned their ears closer.

He takes a deep breath, and “I slept at 2am yesterday, and I woke up at 5am. If I can sleep for 5 more hours, that’ll be plenty. Shigeo Nagashima.”

After listening with a serious face, Lea snorted out a chuckle. Class E looked at one another.

(TN: Shigeo Nagashima is a former baseball player, and he had apparently said many hilarious lines over the years, this being one of them.
I tried searching for the context behind it, hoping to comprehend how it is funny in any way, to no avail. If anyone can enlighten me, I’ll be most grateful. The line is [昨日も午前２時に寝て、午前５時には起きましたからね。５時間も寝れば十分です。])

“That Asano actually dropped his pride and put on a comedy act…” murmured Hayami.

“Suddenly, I’m very impressed by him,” replied Chiba.

“By the way, how long are you two going to shake hands for?” teased Nakamura.

And with that, the two let go of their hands. With Lea’s face slightly red and Asano warmly smiling on, their conversation resumes.

“Just as we promised on the bus, next time we meet, let us have matured some more…”

“Yes, of course.”

The atmosphere in the assembly hall of Kunugigaoka Academy is filled with energy and excitement. The scheduled English Debate Rally is about to begin. Princess Lea is given an enthusiastic welcome, the lady having high expectations towards herself. Class E, who were supposed to be excluded from the rally, were permitted by the Board Chairman to participate.

“Princess, do your best!” When it’s time for Lea to take the stage, Kayano cheered her on from the seats. Under the spotlights, the young royal seemed like she’s dazzling.

“Seeing her like this, for us to have conversed with her so normally, it was like we were in a dream,” remarked Nagisa.

“Yeah, she really does have a princess-feel to her,” replied Kayano.

Thus, her starring debate on “international peace” begins, with a focus on the importance of peace.

“…international peace is not something that can be accomplished by a single country. Whether it’s Japan or Norgo, no one should treat it as though it has nothing to do with them. Therefore, first and foremost, it is imperative that everyone can feel the importance of peace. War is destruction; it destroys families, wealth, culture, etc. For the sake of protecting all these important things, peace is a necessity. Should the world not develop together?”

Not only was Lea’s speech easy to understand, it resonated with the hearts of the audience and led them to believe what she said was true. When it was over, the hall was filled with the sound of clapping.

However, as Lea’s opponent for the debate, Asano now comes onto stage, and delivers his rebuttal meticulously and surgically.

“True, war destroys many things, but at the same time, it also makes a great portion of people wealthier. So long as such values are entrenched into the human heart, no matter how hard you advocate peace, that is not something for us regular men and women to decide; rather, wouldn’t you say that such an ideal world would raise the dangerous nature of war? But if one were to become the ruler of society, and destroy the fundamental reasons that give rise to war, then that will truly cleanse them away.”

“Impressive, he’s taking the princess seriously,” praised Nakamura at his counterattack.

“That’s Asano-kun alright.” “Mmm-hmmm,” nodded Nagisa and Kayano.

“At first glance, that’s a realistic defense, but once you strip away the facade, you’ll find that much of it is just excuses to run away. Such arguments where we rely on just a group of rulers to influence the situation is a devastation to the fundamentals of democracy; it is nothing more than acceptance of the status quo. The reality is, in order to bring about our ideals, society has to change…”

“Those two are really compatible with each other.” “Haha…” agreed Nagisa.

Suddenly, he heard a muted sound of crying coming from somewhere. Turning around, standing next to the Class E seats is a disguised Korosensei, handkerchief in hand wiping away his tears

“Wa-Wait a minute, what do you think you’re doing?” chidded Nagisa, as he and Kayano rushed over to his side.

“Oh, the dramas of youth! Compared to you kids, the Getsuku are nothing.”

(TN: the broadcaster Fuji TV has traditionally reserved the Monday 9pm time slot for their (intended) most popular drama. These drama that air at Monday 9pm (getsuyo kuji) are branded as “Getsuku”)

“In any case, you being here is just trouble.” Nagisa and Kayano bring Korosensei over to a corner of the assembly hall.

With a great sound of claps, the rally has ended, but Korosensei is still crying. “Just how long are you going to cry for! The princess is already finished.”

“Oh, Korosensei also came to see this,” said Yada, noticing the yellow octopus.

“And? What’s he crying for?” asked Okajima.

“He was touched by the love between Asano-kun and Princess Lea,” replied Kayano in lieu of Korosensei, exasperatingly.

With tears and snot still flowing, the teacher suddenly changed expression. “Love… wall slamming… couple born… !!!”

Nagisa was taken aback by Korosensei’s mood-shattering words. “Too sudden, what is it!?”

“Sensei really wants to see all of you be flirty, lovey dovey, kiss kiss.”

“You aren’t even trying to hide your sleaziness now!!”

“Perhaps many couples will be established amongst yourselves, or maybe they’ll be love triangles, or, in the pursuit of romance, you’ll delude into your own flights of fancy. Just like my non-fiction youth romance novel… it’s already gotten to the point where Yada and Okajima just got married.”

Yada screams at such a notion getting novelised without her knowing. On the other hand, Okajima is already having a nosebleed, wearing a “not bad” expression on his face.

“Even if you asked…” Nagisa is at a loss for a response.

The students in the hall gradually left their seats, but at the sight of Korosensei, still crying, the other Class E students gather towards him.

“What’s the matter?” asked Kurahashi.

“He’s crying because he hasn’t been able to see any romantic developments amongst Class E…” replied Nagisa.

“Korosensei is such a sleaze,” she said.

“Seriously, how long are you going to cry for! Stupid octopus.” Irina came over from the stage.

Seeing her, Nagisa wants to inquire a matter about the aborted assassination. “Come to think of it, why was B*tch-sensei in the Embassy at the time? I heard that you were there even before Kataoka’s group.”

Yada is also curious. “I bet you wanted to approach the royalty and score something.”

“Ugh… don’t be annoying, you brats!”

“You wanted to be close with someone handsome?” teased Korosensei, opportunity arising.

“Shut up, perverted octopus! Since you were all so down about not getting to meet the princess, I only thought to make some arrangements, what’s wrong with that!?”

“Liar, no matter how you look at it, you just wanted to start an affair!”

As everyone stood around Korosensei and Irina, happily chatting away, Nagisa glanced at the distance with a smile on his face.

—eccentric and teary-eyed, that’s our Mach 20 superbeing homeroom teacher, and this is our Assassination Classroom. The bell of lessons will ring again tomorrow.

And that’s the end of the Korotan C light novel story, but there’s one more epilogue manga to cap things off, which can be found on Blazardragon’s Tumblr.

Thank you for reading my Rough Summary to the end.

June 2016? My goodness, it’s been that long!? Sigh, my work life…

Previously on Korotan C: Princess Lea of Norgo Kingdom visits Kunugigaoka for a Debate Rally, but she’s decided to sneak out of her hotel and into the city. Upon saving her from an assassination attempt, Class 3-E and Asano Gakushuu are now bodyguards on a mission to escort her to safety.

Spoilers beware, and remember, this is not intended to be a full word for word translation. This is only so that you have an idea of what is happening.

I have no guarantee that these are 100% accurate

Chapter 4

Taxi would be the quickest way to reach the embassy, but should their enemies discover them, it’ll become easy to mark and ambush. Thus, Karma suggests that they use methods that include crowds of people to make things harder for them.

They’ll use public transport whenever they can, and switch the mediums of travel too. From here, they can take the bus, then switch to train at the station. Of course, some of them have to stay with the princess.

Nakamura then suggests maybe it’ll help if the princess wears a different outfit. Like, she can put on a Kunugigaoka uniform, then someone else dresses in the princess’ outfit.

That idea will put the person dressed in the princess’ outfit in danger of being assassinate though. “Well, even if I say that, you’ll still do it anyway,” Karma quickly realises.

“Same hairstyle, same colour, isn’t that just right? Exactly like the princess who’s being marked! Incidentally, you better protect me, my meat shield!!” said Nakamura.

“Hey! How many times are you going to use me as a meat shield!?” retorted Terasaka.

After Nakamura and Lea swapped their clothing, Yoshida brings the princess a knit cap for her to completely hide her blonde hair.

“Class E keeps on demonstrating an unfathomable level of prowess, whether at the Athletic Festival or the 2^nd Trimester Finals, just where did your strength came from?” questioned Asano.

“Well… it was probably… the result of us fighting to the death at the precipice that was Class E…” answered Isogai.

“Isogai-kun… is getting better and better at lying…” remarked Kayano (probably)

“Well… it’s not like he can say that it was all thanks to a Mach 20 superbeing,” replied Nagisa (probably)

Unbeknownst to everyone, someone is spying on them from the shadows.

“Everyone has matured well, getting more and more reliable. Should anything happen, Sensei will be there to help, so just go along with your own daring ideas!”

Suddenly, a dog barks from behind the octopus and he screams. Karma and Asano both heard him, to the former’s exasperation.

The students travel in 2 groups, with Lea grouped together with Asano, Nakamura, Karma and Terasaka. En route to the bus station, Lea gives the ambassador a call, telling him that everything’s fine, and she’s heading now to the embassy.

When the bus arrives, Karma and Asano boarded first to make sure passengers are OK, with Nakamura and Terasaka keep up their guard from behind.

Karma sits at a window seat closest to the emergency exit, with Lea next to him, and Asano standing next to her. Nakamura and Terasaka then sit to her front and rear, completing a cross-formation that defends Lea in the center for their travel.

But during the bus journey, Karma decides to lighten things up with small talk, to Asano’s chagrin.

“Hey, don’t you forget that we are supposed to be protecting the princess! Don’t relax your guard, we’re not here for sightseeing!”

“While keeping up your guard is important, it’s still a long way to the embassy, so there’s no way to maintain such a high tension for the whole trip.”

“It’s because you carry such optimism like so many others who’ve given up on hard work that you…”

“Besides, if you want to pursue perfection in being a bodyguard, then before the princess made her suggestion, you should’ve taken the first step, so being adaptable is another essential skill to have.”

“I don’t need you to teach me how to be a bodyguard! And on the social side of things, I have plenty of experience.”

–

Lea watches with amusement at the banter between the two.

She remarks that “Karma” is an odd name, is it common in Japan? He reckons he’s the only one in Japan to have it, it’s a name that his always-travelling parents with their strange tastes came up with.

Isn’t that lonely, what with his parents not being at home? He thinks he’s actually freer this way, as long as they don’t mind his business he’s got no objections. Lea feels envious at the relationship the Akabanes have.

Karma then brings her attention to Asano’s family. Normally, if you have the school’s board chairman for a father, then you would get all sorts of special treatment, and everything is fine and dandy, but not for Asano-kun. Never mind special treatment, the way he kept working hard to stay at the top is considered “that’s how it should be”, that’s just…

[“You know nothing! Can you cease with your blabbering! Since ancient times, the only ones who become rulers are the strong. That is my father’s compass of education, and one that I believe to be correct. I never yearned for any warmth between father and son, and I have no interest in discussing such relationships with someone who likes to gossip like Akabane. So whether it’s this guy, or my father, I will rule over you all, over all of humanity. That is my calling, and I take joy in living in this calling.”]

[“Pfft,”] blurted Nakamura. [“So cool, Asano-kun! But I think that’s just a load of hubris.”]

[“There’s no helping it if it’s seen as hubris, although, I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing to be undeterred by the gazes of others and stick to your beliefs. But if it were me, there’s no way I would ignore how others around me sees things, or the expectations from my parents or my citizens. I would stick with my beliefs while carrying all the pressure and responsibility, and I would hate to act like I’m losing to that pressure!”]

[“Indeed, running away is no good.”] (Don’t know who says this)

Seeing his retaliation, Lea lightly pats him on his upper arm.

[“Let’s not talk about this anymore, Gakushuu is too perfect, it’s boring.”]

[“Expectations from others is proof of your worth, and as for how this strength is to be used, it’s completely decided by me, by my freedom. I decide where my life leads to.”]

(He was so serious that Karma and Nakamura opted not to tease him here)

[“From now on, I shall etch your words into my heart.  I will believe in myself and do the things that I believe in, and I shall not falter and continue forward, no matter what those around me say. But conversely, please remain in contact with me as much as possible.”]

[“Then you had better keep up with my growth.”]

Seeing how the two have been using such tough language against one another, Karma can’t help but feel excited. [“My oh my~ Don’t you think those two suit each other a lot?”]

[“Can you not make such low-levelled jokes!?”] Asano angrily stares at Karma.

[“Aha, he’s angry now~ Asano-kun is so cute~!”] [“He does like the princess huh~!”]

Asano’s strong tone only got Karma and Nakamura more fired up.

[“When this is over, if you dare to spread this sort of rumour, I’ll use all the power in the school to massacre you!”]

[“So scary~”]

She may’ve been the butt of the joke, but Lea holds in her laughter and turns to the windows. The appearance of her excitedly gazing out at the scenery of the passing streets presents a temperament of both girlish innocence and royalty. Asano involuntarily looked at this from a side view, but when he suddenly sensed a devilish gaze coming from Karma, he hurriedly turned back towards the front.

“Hey! Can’t you all speak with some simpler English? I couldn’t hear a lick of it!” said Terasaka.

“Man, you just had to do it, breaking up this lovely atmosphere?!” retorted Nakamura, as the bus slowly approaches the train station.

–

Meanwhile, the second group had already taken another bus, arrived at the train station and got into formation. Some went to check the surroundings for any assassins that may be in hiding, while others remain nearby gathering intelligence on the situation.

In front of the station, Nagisa and Kayano are throwing out snacks to the pigeons nearby, with more and more gathering, and even landing on their heads and shoulders and pecking at the snacks in their hands. Isogai and Maehara, on guard nearby, wonder if they’re alright, but it’s part of Karma’s plan, what can they do?

The “escort” bus now arrives at the station. Maehara spotted that one of the people waiting in line to board is dressed in black and reading a newspaper. And as the passengers gradually exit the vehicle, he leaves the queue and approaches them.

Isogai can see that the man has something in his hand, probably a syringe. He calls out to Nagisa before the duo runs towards the bus.

“CLAP” With a sound from Nagisa’s hands, the pigeons all flew towards the airspace around the bus. The man in black was distracted for one moment, and when he looked back, he’s face to face with his target. Well, someone who was supposed to be his target, smiling.

“Eh??? Did you see the princess?” Seeing Nakamura’s grin, the assassin knows that he messed up, and Isogai takes this chance to bat away his syringe with a rolled-up notebook. Not giving him any leeway, from behind Nakamura, Asano sends a kick his way and knocks him out.

The assassin had two more accomplices, and after seeing his defeat, they retreated to their car. But when they opened the door, they saw that the wheels had all fallen down to the side of the road. Next thing they knew, they’re strapped to their seats with duct tape.

[“You are under arrest.”] Nearby the station was Korosensei, dressed in police uniform while chewing bubble gum and playing with the duct tape roll. Next to him is Yoshida with a wrench and Muramatsu with a carjack, snickering that the assassins were way too obvious with their black clothes, black car and bubbling bloodlust.

“Korosensei, did you come to help us?” asked Nagisa. Having heard from Karasuma and Kataoka, at first Korosensei wanted to bring the princess to a safe place at Mach speed. But since he’s not allowed to do that, he can only support the kids, ensuring that the princess makes it to the destination and that his students are safe as well.

By the way, he took the chance to clean away the pigeon feathers and droppings on Nagisa. “Wha? When did that happen!?”

As thanks, he gives the leftover snacks to a delighted Korosensei. In exchange, he gives his bubble gum to Nagisa before disappearing at Mach speed.

Yep… my brain seems to be stuck in this mlp gear. I’ve a bunch of ideas about various DR characters, but here’s some AssClass ones for now.

The green one is Kayano… or Akari Yukimura, to be exact. No, she’s not an alicorn, just playing the role of one here. Though who knows, with the tentacles, she might become one… The green color I picked from Kayano’s hair. I was thinking her cutie mark could be a mask (both for being an actress and having a secret identity) but solarsavoy suggested interlinked hearts (like a charm that sisters have, and also because she has a caring side) and I really like that.

Then we have sweet little Nagisa with a snake on his flank. (Thanks to @solarsavoy again for pointing out the obvious, when I was wondering what his cutie mark would be. Same in Karma’s case, really.) For Karma and Nagisa I used only colors picked from their hair. I’m still considering if I should have made Karma pink, though. Like his strawberry milk…

And then… the violet one is supposed to be Gakushuu. I had huge problems with him. Somehow the colors I picked from his hair just didn’t work. I’m not sure if this looks like him, really, but that’s it for now. I figured he’d be an unicorn and probably good with magic, so his cutie mark would have stars in it. Decided to go with the pentagram, which is known in Japan as the Seiman, or the Seal of Abe no Seimei.
