That scream sounded like it was from Eli. It came from the club room. I should go help her!

I shouldn't go unarmed. I should take this broom, it might come in handy if I have to fight someone.

It's nerve-trembling, but... But I have to save Eli.

AKI: "Eli, just wait for me. I'll save you..."

...

Here's the place, I should storm the room quickly. If anyone's in there it will catch them off guard.

*Sigh* I hope this broom serves me well.

3...2...1...

*SLAM*

AKI: "GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER YOU UGLY BASTA- Huh?"

ELI: "What are you doing here?"

AKI: "Eli! Are you okay? I heard you scream, so I..."

ELI: "I was so scared. I'm so glad you came."

Eli?! She's crying. She must have been terrified.

AKI: "So you weren't being attacked?"

ELI: "N-No, but I saw someone outside the window, then I heard growling."

AKI: "Urgh, that must be a very depraved predator."

I have to protect her.

AKI: "They might still be nearby. We need to find them!"

ELI: "Harasho?!"

AKI: "They were outside the window, right? I have a weapon, so I'm going to kick their ass!"

It's just a broom, though.
But it's not the weapon that counts, it's how you use it.

If I find a pervert out there, this broom's handle is going only one place and it won't be pretty...

ELI: "Through the window?! That's too dangerous!"

AKI: "This is to protect this school for everyone's sake. I can't just let them roam free!"

ELI: "Thanks. I can't let you go alone, though. I'm going with you."

AKI: "Before I forget again, I'm grabbing my notebook first."

...

ELI: "No one is here, either. Maybe they left school grounds, or..."

???: "Grrrrrrr..."

ELI: "Th-That voice!"

AKI: "Was that the voice you heard before? I'll go check it out!"

ELI: "But it's dangerous! If something happened to you, I would..."

AKI: "Don't worry, stay back. It's coming from the bushes."

I held my weapon of choice close, and I approached the bush with caution.

AKI: "Alrighty then, show yourself! Usually I would give you a stern warning, but believe me when I say that I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THIS! You like snooping on young girls don'tcha you degenerate! I won't ask again... SHOW YOURSELF YOU UGLY BASTARD, I AM TICKED OFF!
Silence huh? Fine... I WILL CLEAN YOUR ACT UP!"

CAT: "Meow."

AKI: "Oh."

...

ELI: "You're back safe! Wait, what is that?"

AKI: "Looks like the growl was coming from this little guy."

CAT: "Meow."

ELI: "Was it?! I was so scared. I can't believe it was just a cat."

AKI: "It's okay Eli, everything's fine now."

Eli is just a normal high school student like me. I feel bad for making her so scared.

I guess that I shouldn't jump to conclusions like that. But my protective instincts kicked in, I guess. Kinda like what happened when Ryu put his hands on Rina.

ELI: "Ugh, I can't believe I freaked out over a cat.
How embarrassing. You must be so disappointed seeing how uncool I am."

AKI: "Not at all! Seeing how normal you are just makes me realize how cute you are!"

ELI: "Cute?! Don't be so weird!"

AKI: *Laugh*

ELI: "Anyways, the lighting from below must have made its shadow appear big. What a pesky cat."

CAT: *Purr*

AKI: "I think he likes you."

ELI: *Giggle* "Does he now? I should give him a bowl of milk or something before he continues his nightly prowl."

AKI: "Let me put the broom back and walk you home. Oh, I don't know where you live, though."

ELI: "Thanks! Why don't you come over for some tea? I'll introduce you to my little sister Alisa, too."

AKI: "I guess I can take you up on that. I'm looking forward to it!"

ELI: "Thanks for everything today, and then some!"
