That was a great serve, Yuki!

Way to go!

I appreciate the compliments.

Man, Yuki always looks good

no matter what she's doing.

I still can't believe

we're in the same grade.

Look at that!

She just served another ace!

[ALL] She's so cool!

[HITOYOSHI]

She's more than that.

They've never even seen

Ms. Yuki when she gets serious.

So, she's beautiful,

super smart, and athletic.

[MALE STUDENT 6B] I don't get

how she could be related

to Hitoyoshi at all!

[HITOYOSHI] Well, I guess

they do have a point.

Ms.Yuki risked

her life for me.

That night practically

felt like a movie.

I'm still feeling the high

from that experience.

She was a ruthless m*rder*r.

A beast among beasts.

Fourth of the Dragon's Nine,

Xue the White Wolf!

I won't k*ll anyone anymore.

And what's more,

I won't let anyone die

because of me.

I have so many

unanswered questions.

But those might have to wait

since Ms. Yuki is trying

to be normal.

[ALL]

What?!

STARE STARE STARE

[HITOYOSHI]

She is doing everything

she can out there!

I will not let their jealousy

and envy get to me!

I got this!

Yo, heads up!

[shudder]

[GRACE]

Dang, that was a close one.

Wouldn't want you to get hurt,

or else someone would get mad!

You know

who I'm talking about.

[HITOYOSHI] I keep getting

death glares from everyone

and it isn't just because

of Ms. Yuki at this point.

I don't get

what this lady's up to,

but it's her fault too.

♪

So, Ms. Nitta,

how can I help you?

Aw, don't be like that!

Would it k*ll you to be

nice to me?

I'm just a helpless

little teacher here.

Hitoyoshi?

You're too close!

Haven't you ever heard

of a little something

called personal space?

JEALOUSY JEALOUSY JEALOUSY

[HITOYOSHI]

Why me?

How did things end up

so unbelievably complicated?

♪

-It's me!

-It's who?

Oh, come on,

how could you possibly

forget little ol' Gracey.

Especially after the two of us

shared that one night

of fiery passion!

But my cover story here

is that

I'm Ms. Nitta,

the new gym teacher,

who's also a relative

that you see like

a big sister and happens

to live in Tokyo.

Nyao!

The way you look and talk

is completely different!

Also that

was a huge info dump!

If combat is considered

Xue's specialty,

mine's espionage.

Not to brag but I'm kinda

what you'd call

a master of disguise.

How I am

now's the real me though.

Don't tell me.

I bet you preferred it

when I had long,

dark hair like "Ms. Yuki".

What?

I dunno about that.

[laugh]

Yeah right, I didn't believe

that for a second!

But at least you're funny.

I thought you'd had

enough before,

but it seems you still

have business with me.

Yeah, not really.

Forget the business,

I just love having fun.

Who woulda thought,

the great Xue,

legendary assassin.

Would be serving under some

sniveling civilian brat

and given up her

murderous ways!

Even if I fled

to the tropics like I wanted,

I'd never find

anything this amusing!

Don't worry though,

I've got no intention

of k*lling you

and I don't plan on getting

k*lled myself either.

So, I have zero hostility.

Of course,

I'm not asking for you

to trust me for nothing

in return.

-Let's negotiate.

-[gasps]

[HITOYOSHI] A negotiation

between assassins.

[GRACE] First of all,

I'll no longer make

any move on you or Hitoyoshi

with k*lling intent.

Furthermore.

[HITOYOSHI]

Okay, here it comes.

She about to offer

some fat stacks

or top-secret info?

For three whole months.

I'll get you bread

from the school store!

[HITOYOSHI] Wait, bread?

But that's so ordinary.

No, it's gotta be some

kind of secret assassin code!

[GRACE] Of course,

I'm not talking about

just any bread.

I got the good stuff.

Katsuda Bread! Yup!

All the Katsuda Bread

you can eat! Well?

[YUKI] I'm in.

[HITOYOSHI] She's in?

[GRACE] All righty then,

we have a deal!

[HITOYOSHI]

Ms. Yuki!

Are you sure

you wanna go through with this?

[YUKI] I'm confident

there's no need to worry.

It's strictly prohibited

for us to k*ll

an ordinary person

without cause

and now that she understands

she is no match for me,

she has nothing to gain

from harming you,

Master Hitoyoshi.

However, even

if something like that

were to happen,

I swear that

I will protect you.

Promise!

You're still drooling.

[YUKI] And besides,

I'm capable of handling

second-rate K*llers like her

by the thousands.

-There's no need for concern.

-[HITOYOSHI] Really?

[GRACE] Oh dang.

I got demoted to trash tier.

Great.

I'm glad that's settled.

I'll keep on observing

you two quietly,

and we can all get along.

Sound good?

[HITOYOSHI] She, in fact,

did not observe quietly at all.

Honestly?

I was never a fan of gym class

when I was in school.

But this and the nurse job

are the easiest

to slack off on, am I right?

I thought you were just

going to keep

on observing us quietly.

What?

Am I not being quiet enough?

Could you not do that

directly into my ear?

[GRACE]

Y'know something?

I get the feeling

it's actually bothering her.

[FEMALE STUDENT 6B]

Hey, Yuki!

Are you gonna serve or not?

[YUKI] Right!

My apologies for the delay!

[giggle]

Are you sure

she's not just worried

about you pulling

something funny again?

[GRACE] Huh?

You didn't notice, did you?

[HITOYOSHI]

Notice what?

Oh, nothing! Forget about it!

Actually, since

you asked me so politely.

[gasp]

I can tell you everything.

Oh.

That was amazing, Yuki!

Wow! You hit the ball

I am not exactly

certain myself.

I understand that

Grace doesn't intend

One time, she mixed them

Another, she put

I wouldn't have

expected him to cut

so evenly at that age.

Excuse me!

my gratitude.

meals could be tasty or fun.

Unlike how things are now,

back then it was all

I could do just to stay alive

so I had little interest

in other people.

I started to lose sight

of what I was doing

a reason why I was doing it.

I only had one worry
