Once Upon an Assassin

Chapter 19

KONOMI P.O.V.

Happily humming, I closed my umbrella, entering the small cafe I had found few weeks ago.

The door made a small jingle as I entered, welcoming me with sweet smell of baking snacks.

"Welcome!"

My eyes brightened and I flashed a small smile at the waiter who stood at the counter who greeted me.

The male blushed, his cheeks turning a pink color as he led me to a single seat next to the window.

I had asked both Nagisa-kun and Kaede-chan, even Kanzaki-San and Yūma-kun if they would like to join me for cake today but they all had to turn me down because of personal things they had to do.

Though that didn't stop me from getting my usual cakes.

I looked out the window, staring at the dropping rain for a moment before looking back down at the menu I received as I sat down.

"Have you decided?" The waiter from earlier questioned as he came up with a notepad.

I looked up at him and sighed as I realized he was still staring at me with his face pink, "I'll be ordering a lot so be prepared," I joked slightly while scanning the menu, "I would like to have a hot cup of jasmine milk tea, a raspberry tart, the assorted macarons, the French cream puff, a vanilla éclair, uh the mille-fueille, the hazelnut decadence, vanilla crème brûlée, lemon soufflé, fruit tart, crème caramel, panna cotta, tiramisu, molten chocolate cake, monbran cake and oh, I almost forgot, the strawberry short cake!"

The waiter stated at me in wide eyed, trying to scribble all the names of the pastries I stated.

"I-Is that all...?"

I nodded but placed the menu beside me, "I'll like to keep the menu for now if I want to order more."

"A-Alright...."

A small chuckle escaped my lips as I watched the waiter scurry off, definitely taken back by the amount I ordered.

As I waited, I pulled out the social studies textbook from my bag, scanning through the pages, reviewing them.

Yūma-kun has been so sweet and has been helping me with my studying in this subject. And currently, I'm proud to say, I'm ahead of the class because of the said boy.

"Here's your tea and the pastries you've ordered..."

I lifted my head up while closing my text book before pleasantly smiling at the waiter, "Thank you."

Staring pastries spread all over the table, my mouth watered at the mere sight.

Without hesitation, I grabbed my absolute favorite, the strawberry shortcake, cutting through the soft sponge and the whipped cream.

Though, as I moved to bring it to my mouth, I froze as I saw a boy around my age staring at me through the window.

Closing my mouth I stared at him in confusion. Placing my fork back down, I observed the boy while sipping my tea.

He... Well, honestly he seemed strange.

His height seemed like an average boy but his hair color, a platinum white or silver with a tint of blue wasn't something you'll see everyday.

Though I shouldn't be talking since I lilac colored hair.

His eyes also stood out as well... Yellow orbs with rings... The circle that was closest to the pupil was dark and it got lighter.

After staring at him for a good minute, I realized he wasn't staring at me but the cakes laid out on the table.

Is he....?

Hungry?

For a moment I stared down at the cake before me. Uh, I might as well....

I tapped the window, catching the boys attention.

He looked at me with stoic eyes, though his head cocked a bit to the side much like how Jake or Roki did when they're confused.

I smiled at him encouragingly, motioning to come inside with my hands.

He seemed hesitant for a moment before he walked in into the shop

"What?" He bluntly questioned as he looked at me.

I scratched my head and pointed to the seat across from me, "Sit down, you seem like you wanted to eat some, it's better to eat with someone than by yourself. The food'll taste better that way," I stated, taking the first bite of my strawberry shortcake.

I continued to eat as the boy watched me while slowly sitting down.

For a moment he sat there watching me eat, but eventually he reached to grab one of the pastries.

I quickly devoured my cake and took a sip out of my teacup before placing it back on the table.

"My name is Royal Konomi, how much can you eat? I'll order more since I can finish these myself," I stated as I grabbed another cake.

The boy stopped eating and stared at me stoically, "I could finish all of these myself."

I stared at the boy for a minute before breaking into a smile, "Is that so? Well than, it only makes sense for me to order more," I chuckled waving my hand in the air.

The waiter who first brought me to the table rushed over, his cheeks flushing once again as we made eye contact.

"I'll like to have one more of everything I ordered," I say, passing the menu to the boy sitting across from me, "Is there anything else you'll like to order?" I questioned, observing him with my lilac colored eyes.

The boy shook his head, placing the menu down on the table.

I smiled at the waiter, "That's all."

"I'll bring your order right away," he stated before he walked off.

As I watched the waiter walk off, I turned my attention to the boy who was now eating a second plate of pastries.

"I didn't get the chance to get your name," I state, grabbing the closest plate.

The boy stayed stoically silent before he opened his mouth, "Itona..."

"Well, Itona-kun, it's a pleasure to meet you," I state before going back to eating.

As I ate, I could tell that Itona-kun was literally burning a hole into my head.

I looked up at him in question while chewing on my fork, "Is there something on my face?"

"Why did you invite me to eat with you? I don't know you," he questioned, his eyebrows knitting together.

I swallowed the sweet in my mouth before propping my chin in my hand, "Hm? Yet, you're still eating with a complete stranger right?" I gave the boy a closed eyes smile, "But the truth is.... No reason? You seemed like you wanted to eat the pastries as well so I invited you."

"I don't have money with me."

I waved my hand, dissing his blunt words, "Doesn't matter, I invited you so I'll pay. And like I said earlier, food taste better when you eat with someone."

THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

Itona stared at the lilac haired female who continued to devour the pastries on the table.

'Something seems powerful with her...' He thought as he finished his four plate, 'And stupid'

Konomi on the other hand was discreetly observing the male while eating.

'He doesn't talk much... He just eats... But I shouldn't be talking, I've been eating more than him' she thought as she finished her pastries.

She waved her hand in the air catching one of the waitress's attention, "Check please!"

Rummaging through her school bag, Konomi pulled out her wallet, fishing out her own credit card. She placed it on the plastic plate like thing and handed it to the waitress.

She than looked at Itona who was still eating.

"Hm, well... It was nice meeting you Itona, I have to go home since my parents are probably starting to wonder where I am," The lilac haired female stated, throwing her bag over her shoulder.

The said boy stoically stared at female, continuing to chew on the pastries.

Konomi couldn't help but chuckle, finding Itona amusing. She patted the shorter boy on the head before picking up her card at the counter before exiting the shop while humming.

Itona continued to eat, though watching the mysterious female who bought him sweets leave.

By the time Konomi had disappeared from his sight, his guardian dressed in pure white entered the shop, sitting across from him.

"Itona, how did you buy this much sweets?" His guardian questioned, looking at the table in confusion.

The boy looked at the man dressed in white, his emotion not readable, "A strange girl with purple hair. She's strong...."

>>TIME SKIPS>>

Konomi irritably glared at the red head that walked in front of her.

"Why did you have to sleep over again?" She questioned, her feet angrily stomping the uneven floor of the mountain.

Karma smirked and stopped, his golden orbs staring at his female friend, "Misuzu-San found out my parents were out of town again."

Konomi rolled her eyes, "The only way mom would find out is if you personally came to my house and had a conversation with her. Why must it be my house? Why not Nagisa-kun's place?!"

Karma chuckled, his hands in his pocket. He leaned forward, getting closer to the female, "Because I get to sleep with Konomi~"

The long legged beauty snapped her head, glaring at the red head. She opened her mouth to shout at him, but before she spoke anything, she immediately realized there was no point to it. Her nose twitching, not wanting to admit her defeat against the red haired devil.

The red haired trickster would some how always twist her own words and make it impossible to win.

Karma chuckled and lightly tugged on one of Konomi's hair that was tied into two pigtails.

Konomi swatted his hand away from her hair while taking her shoes off, changing them into her indoor shoes.

The red haired male watched her in amusement but followed her lead, changing into the proper shoes.

On a way they shoved each other, play fighting all the way to their classroom.

Konomi opened the classroom door, trying to make her male classmate let go of her hair.

As she opened the door, the two of them became the class's attention.

The annoyed expression on Konomi's face immediately became much calmer as she greeted her classmates, "Ohayo."

"Ko-no-mi-chaaaaaan!!!" Kayano yelled the lilac haired female's name, bouncing over to her happily.

Konomi sent one last annoyed look at Karma before giving the petite, green haired female her full attention.

"Yes, Kaede-chan?"

Kayano beamed widely as she looked up at the taller girl, "There's a transfer student today!"

Konomi's lilac colored eyes narrowed for a moment before she pulled her phone out while walking to her seat.

Her mouth opened slightly as she realized she did receive an email from her uncle.

Konomi sweat dropped as she sheepishly scratched her head, "Aha, I didn't realize..."

'Konomi-chan doesn't check her email often....' Nagisa thought as he scrambled the new info into his notepad.

As Konomi, Kayano, and Karma settled down into their seats, the door of the classroom slid open, revealing a large, yellow octopus like creature.

"Good morning class!" Koro-sensei cheerfully greeted them, his usual grin plastered to his face.

The yellow blob placed his black folder onto his teacher's desk before properly facing the class.

"I believe Karasuma-Sensei has send all of you the email regarding the new classmate, correct?" Koro-sensei questioned as he adjusted his little black hat on his round head.

Maehara placed his cheek on his arm that was propped onto the desk, "Oh yeah, well, it has to be an assassin."

The class nodded in agreement, already knowing how the class worked.

Koro-Sensei lifted a tentacle up while grinning, "When Ritsu-San first came, I underestimated her a bit and had a dreadful experience. This time I will be on guard," he stated the matter of factly, "In any case, I'm truly happy that your number of comrades in arm is increasing."

Hara than looked back from where she sat, looking the female projected from the black box at the corner of the room, "Come to think of it, do you know anything about the transfer student, Ritsu?"

Ritsu smiled, tilting her head to the side, "Yes, a little. In my initial order, 'he' and I were scheduled to enter this class simultaneously. By combining my long range with his close quarters combat, we would drive Koro-Sensei into the corner."

Konomi and Karma who sat beside each other shared a look before looking back the purple haired AI.

"However, those orders were canceled because of two reasons," Ristu stated, talking a bit slowly.

Once again Karma and Konomi shared a look of interest.

The red head smirked as he moved closer to the female by moving his chair.

Konomi ignored his movement and looked at Ritsu, wanting to hear the continuation.

As the female ignored him, Karma smirked deviously and leaned closer.

"Ko-no-mi-chan~" as he whispered her name, he blew into her ear making the poor female jump.

Konomi glared at Karma, her nose twitching slightly before shoving him lightly with her hand, "Cut it out, Karma," she hissed, sending him a sharp glare.

"Than don't ignore me," Karma whispered back, enjoying annoying her.

As the two quietly bickered, Ritsu spoke again, "First, his adjustments took longer than what had been expected. And secondly," the purple haired female paused looking at her fellow classmates, "I was an overly inferior assassin compared to him."

An silence fell over the classroom. Many of the student sharing looks of nervousness and wary.

Ristu looked down, seeming to be a bit embarrassed, "My abilities are insufficient to serve as his support. And so, I learned that we would each commence an assassination separately. And I, who was significantly inferior, was shipped off first."

At that moment, the classroom became dark and gloomy, many of the students starting sweat.

For Ritsu, who blew off Koro-sensei's tentacle to be given such treatment......

'Just what sort of monster is heading our way?!' They all thought in horror.

As the nervousness in the room was at its peak, the door of the room slid open, making everyone tense and whip around to see.

"H-hah....?" Konomi's eyebrows rose as she watched an unknown man wearing pure white clothes walk in, "The transfer student...?"

All the students and Koro-Sensei became alarmed as the unknown man dressed in white lifted his right hand up.

And with a loud pop that made most of them jump, a white dove that matched his clothes appeared.

"Hahaha, sorry, I must have frightened you all. I, however I am not he transfer student," the man's rather deep voice rumbled out as he laughed, "I am his guardian. And well, since I am dressed entirely in white, please call me 'Shiro'."

The man made hand gestures while looking as if he was smiling.

Konomi suspiciously eyed the man, not understanding why he had to cover his face.

'He's all giggly and acting nice but I don't get a good vibe from him.... And his stupid face mask is too suspicious and stupid.....' The lilac haired beauty thought to herself as she sat up straighter.

The nervousness of the class seemed to relax a bit. Though a few of the student still looked as if they were on guard.

Kayano who sat besides Nagisa, placed a hand over her chest as she laughed slightly, "If someone suddenly came in wearing white clothes and does a small magic trick, it's pretty startling..."

Nagisa nodded his pastel blue head, "Yeah, anyone but Koro-Sensei will be-" the said boy stopped speaking as he started to sweat drop, seeing his liquified teacher glued to one of the roofs corner.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SO SCARED, KORO-SENSEI!!!!"

"AND ENOUGH TO USE YOUR SECRET LIQUEFICATION SKILL!!"

Koro-Sensei hesitantly laughed, a forced grin on his face, "W-Well... What Ristu-San said was so frightening...."

"How stupid...." Karma muttered as he shook his shaggy red hair.

Konomi looked at her friend beside her, chucking lowly, "It's something you can expect Koro-Sensei to say."

Slowly the yellow octopus glided down the wall until his form returned to normal.

Koro-Sensei smiled embarrassedly turning his attention to Shiro, "It is nice to meet you, Shiro-San. And what of the transfer student himself?"

Konomi's attention was averted to her Uncle who was looking at the class through the window of the door, 'Tada-San... What kind of new student is coming? Someone sent from the government?'

The man known as Shiro pulled out a wooden box that had Yōkan written on it, "It's a pleasure to meet you Koro-Sensei. Since there are quite a number of peculiarities to his personality, I intent to introduce him myself, if I may."

As Konomi watched the man in suspicion, Nagisa starting to grow wary as well.

'You wouldn't really think of it when you look at him but... He's a very strange person... Almost to the level of suspicious....' The feminine male thought as he quietly observed.

Both Nagisa and Kayano tilted their head in confusion as Shiro stared at the two. The mysterious man than looked at the back of the class because he was feeling long heated stares on him.

Shiro smirked behind his mask as he stated at the lilac haired female who watched him with sharp eyes.

'Ho.... So that's Royal Konomi.... Interesting...'

Koro-Sensei who seemed to notice Shiro's stare towards his student spoke up in question, "Is something wrong?"

"Ah, no. You all seem to be good children. Thus, it appears you will have easy time befriending the boy," Shiro stated as he turned his body towards the class, "That seat over there is fine right, Koro-Sensei?" Shiro questioned, pointing to the empty seat between Ritsu and Konomi.

"Yes, it's free but..."

Before Koro-Sensei could finish Shiro was speaking once again, "Then, I shall introduce him. Itona! Come on!"

Konomi's eyes widen at the familiar name but before she could even state anything, the wall at the back of the classroom made a loud explosion.

Konomi jumped to the side in shock, her hands automatically going to the small pocket knife hidden in her jacket.

Konomi once again jumped as a arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a firm chest, "Sh, it's fine, the transfer student seemed like he wanted to show up from the back of the classroom instead of the door," Karma whispered as he leaned down to her ear, pulling her down so she sat between his legs on the chair.

The lilac haired female relaxed slightly though she rubbed her arm, trying to make the hair that stood up go back down.

She than looked at the boy who sat in the empty seat besides her own desk.

Her lilac eyes twitched slightly as she realized this boy was indeed someone she has met before.

However, as Karma and Konomi remained calm the class broke into panic.

All of them stared at Itona, their mouth dropped to the floor, 'USE THE DAMN DOOR!!!' They all thought in horror.

KONOMI P.O.V.

I stared at Itona-kun in surprise, not believing the boy I met yesterday was going to be my new classmate.

"I am victorious...." Itona-kun mumbled as he intertwined his fingers and placed it on the table, "I have proven myself to be stronger than the classroom wall... That alone is enough.... Enough..."

I looked around the class, looking at my classmates reaction to our new classmate. Just by looking at their expression I could tell what they were thinking.

'Another real pain in the ass has turned up!'

I sweat dropped as Karma who had his chest pressed to my back chuckle in amusement.

My attention went to the front of the class where Koro-Sensei stood. I had to cover my mouth with my hands to stop the laugh from bursting.

Even Koro-sensei's expression is troublesome! He's not smiling or being serious.

That half asses expression...

"Pft...." A laugh escaped myself before I cover it with a cough.

Karma peered into my face, looking amused by how I was trying to act as if I didn't laugh.

This was definitely not something I would have thought would happen....
