Author's Notes: Well, hello readers. This isn't really much of a chapter. Another filler more than anything. I know that I haven't posted anything for quite a long time but I am in a bind right now. RL is too hectic and writing became a limited luxury to me. Family matters are really, really problematic right now. I don't have my own laptop at the moment and college just added into the mix. I just posted this to show that I will still write but it might take a long time before I update my stories. And my health taking a turn for the worse isn't helping either. [See end of chapter for additional notes]
Warning(s): A little OOC. OC-usage. This is going to be slow. I'm going to maximize Kuroko's two month quota. This chapter is kind ofsombre again, but there are still light-hearted parts (I hope). Also, I'm integrating the KHR perspective a little more. While the KHR manga and story seemed a bit humor-filled in some parts, we shouldn't forget that this is the Mafia world we're talking about. And we're looking at this story from the point of view of someone, mostly, who was slowly getting involved. So, it isn't exactly pretty.
Pairing(s): None. I'm going to make this GEN.

A good day to two of my student-teachers!
ATTENTION!
It has come to my notice that you and your partner have not submitted a pre-evaluation report as of yet. I believe that you've been told that its deadline is on the same day that it's been given, therefore, on your first day.
Please be reminded that we follow a strict schedule when it comes to your students' records.
I am giving you an allotment of two (2) days. If you fail to comply, I will be forced to extend your duration of teaching as per agreement. If submission is under a matter of inconvenience as of the moment, please kindly inform me and state your valid reasons.
Reply to this email as soon as possible and it will be much appreciated.

Greetings,
I apologize for the delay of our submissions. Unforeseen circumstances has occurred throughout our stay in Namimori.
Ihara-kun is allergic to seafood and it just happens that one of his students is a seafood-oriented person. During a session on our first day, Ihara-kun has been poisoned by his own student under the impression of consuming a sweet bun. He just got released this evening from the hospital.
While I had been left with the task to finish the necessary evaluations, I have been confined to the school infirmary for hours prior to composing this mail due to a random set of fireworks being set off at the consultation room we were located at. Fortunately, there were no other casualties aside from myself. Again, I apologize for the delays. We will do our utmost to accomplish it by tomorrow and send it off to the head of Namimori Middle School and even send you an advance notice and copy by email.
Thank you for your patience, Asahina-sensei.
Regards,
Kuroko.
[PS. Ihara-kun gives his regards and wants me to pass on the message that should you decide to proceed on your revenge, he still had that footage back at the summer festival that he so kindly kept for future use.]

A pleasant day to my now utmost favorite student-teachers!
I shall wait for those evaluation reports until midnight.
On that note, just what the hell were you two idiots doing to get into so much trouble?! What upsets me most is that you haven't even have the presence of mind to inform me about this. Ihara-kun, I congratulate you on your release from the hospital. While that is good to hear, please watch what you eat from now on. Expenses of that kind are very demanding and I don't think the board will continuously provide should you decide to make it a daily visit to the hospital.
And I will be having a… thorough conversation with Namimori Middle School's principal about safety precautions within school grounds.
While it didn't sound to be anything severe, I worry for Kuroko-kun. I have contacted his mother and informed her of the accident.
You two are either too idiotic to land yourselves into those situations or you are seriously having a cruel case of misfortune. It could be a mixture of both. While your reasons for the delay are valid, I seriously ask of you to please refrain from getting involved in such incidents again. The management isn't providing income just for that to go straight to your medical bills.
Another thing, Ihara-kun. I heard from Kuroko-kun that you have an interesting footage at your disposal. I've known you since you were first sent to the guidance office during your first year for getting into a fight at the cafeteria because someone spilled your pocky. You were such a sweet child. I missed those glasses until you discovered the convenient way of using contact lenses to communicate with the outside world. I knew that forcing you on the Newspaper Guild back then was not the smartest choice I've made in Teikou's history.
Now, it seems that you still hold a grudge against me.
And that really, really upset me after two years of knowing each other and being acquainted with all your quirks. Ending this mail, I will kindly remind you that should any soul caught a glimpse of that footage, I will personally come to Namimori and deal with you myself. Of course, it's to bond with each other after you haven't visited the guidance office in a while. I'm rather glad that you've changed from your delinquent ways. I'm not insinuating anything, of course.
Sincerely yours.
Asahina Setsuna,
STA Chairperson
Teikou Junior High Student Councilor
[PS. Kuroko-kun, please be careful from now on and make sure that you stay in rooms without any fireworks or any explosive around. Or, just stay out of harm's way like the cute little child you are. The same goes for Ihara-kun.]

A pleasant day to you as well, sensei.
You have nothing to worry about, you'll receive those evaluations by midnight.
It is absolutely not my intention to be sent to the hospital. It just happens that one of my students is an airhead with the persistence of a thousand bulls. But I admit to stupidity for blindly trusting him and being tempted by those delicious sweet buns. Proceeding on that note, it was delicious until I felt like someone just blocked the oxygen from entering my lungs to keep my body continuously breathing in this realm of existence. I don't think I can look at sweet buns the same way.
If the board can provide for over a hundred students for an entirety of two months all over Japan, I don't see how an overnight stay in the hospital can be an issue.
Oh, please do tell me how your conversation with the principal go. If it's not yielding positive results, I will be glad to provide additional ammunition as I don't trust this school more than I can trust you and that already says much about what I think of this place.
Now, you're pushing it. You're giving me every reason for everyone to see that footage. And I. Am. Not. A. Delinquent. It's not my fault that fools back at school are stubborn mules who needed a beating or two to get it in their heads. Although, I agree with your sentiment. Putting me on the Newspaper Guild was your greatest mistake. Letting myself be pushed into it and continue to do so was mine. I will never know why I have actually decided to accept the responsibility of being the guild's Editor-in-Chief.
I'm going to keep a copy of your email, by the way, just to garner some evidence against you should the authority find my corpse the following morning of my murder.
Good day.
Ihara Shino

Remind me to give you a hundred box of sea urchins for your birthday. I miss you that much, Ihara-kun.
Now, I remember why I decided to put you in the Newspaper Guild. Your writing astounds me that I can just imagine having a friendly conversation with you.

AN: Ok, I logged in back into this account after several months of silence from my part. I appreciate those messages who have been asking how I am doing. While I don't mind those who asks about updates, I am seriously upset about those who demands me to update my stories. Please be reminded that I have real life to worry about and myself. I write for pleasure but even I am severely limited with it atm.
I am currently at one of RL's worst moments, so to speak. So, I apologize in advance if it seems that I have given up on my stories. I'll try to get back as soon as I can but, right now, I'm just really occupied. Health's not helping.
Thank you so much for the support. This might be my last update for quite a while and am not sure about putting anything to hiatus or discontinuing or taking down my stories. It still depends on my situation right now, which I can't talk about here, but am still hoping for the best.
Good day to you all and sorry.
