As Banri made a tough decision, he relented. Just as he had decided to do that, the daily delivery plopped itself onto his head, the seagull gliding on above cawed as if amused by it's hit.
Hayato throws the bottle aside. Breaking it and Forta's chance to grab it to retaliate. Instead, Hayato wanted to talk.
Hayato attempted to persuade Kira on Luck...
But It failed.
"You can hate me if you want. We're paid to do our jobs. That's what I'm doing here. That clear enough?"
Then Fuka claimed that she had just transferred money to Kira. As kira had said, Forta wasn't under protection by the Butai due to not paying when they arrived. Fuka sought to reverse that, paying to Kira the amount now.
"You can't be serious...?"
Kira grinned skeptically... there was no way Fuka would have her number. After all, they'd never...
Kira's phone chimed immediately.
"What!"
Kira took her phone out of her pocket. She confirmed it. A fund transfer had been done.
The sharp eyed one, the blue haired one, and another bystander again continued to speak on behalf of their classmate. One student even proclaimed that 'they' would do anything to protect the girl under her foot right now. How facinating. Was he her girlfriend or something? Or was that just the mob mentality giving cowards the courage to spout such drivel.
Everyone was urging Kira not to finish her off. There was one point that the sharp eyed one had, however... these people were persistent - or maybe she simply wasn't being enough of a tyrant to shut them up scared.
But doing that wasn't a good idea either. Kira saw the Guards on the wall were now focused on what was going down right here.
Annoying. All of this chatter was brutally annoying. The old butai would've cut these idiots down in a heartbeat for behind disobedient. Damned sensitivity training.
One of the girls whom had been gravely injured by the boy stood up. She attempted to convince Kira that the Butai should've been more focused on helping the ones whom had gotten hurt by the ordeal rather than an execution. There was something very impactful about it.
It was the same idealistic drivel that newcomers tended to spout out due to not understanding how the school worked, but seeing her speak out on behalf of the others with that sort of injury was an eye catcher to say the least.
"Ara ara... "Kill all of us"? What are you saying, miss? How can a lovely heroine of justice such as miss Forta be able to do that? Surely you jest! From my perspective, you, miss, are more capable to "kill all of us" here, but still, you are far too cute a lady for such a horrifying act"
"...Can you people not just shut up for five seconds? Goddamn it."
Kira took her foot off Forta and withdrew her spear.
"Salvatore, Kreiger. Remove the body."
"Yes, Mam'"
Walking away, Kira looked over to Kuni and the others one last time.
"There isn't any kind of ambulance service here. But, one of the better students who can help you classmates lives over in the library. You're going to want to take yourselves over there. Treating your injuries though... the Butai is a police force, not an insurance company. You've all pretty much applied first aid to the people that matter so the rest is up to you."
"Since pink haired one was so passionate I'll overlook what this girls' done. Just this once."
...
Kira left.
The Butai members remaining dealt with disposing of the body.
Ai was the first person over to Forta. Given that Kuni was already up, she took up a couple of things from the First Aid Kit Banri had been using. She went over to Forta or rather...
"Are you okay?! Nana! Please answer...!"
Forta had a dazed expression. Like she was about to lose consciousness.
AI looked to the others behind her. She... wanted to ask them for help, but... after what had just happened...
"Sorry..."
"...sorry? For what?"
Ai responded ponderously. This was good, Forta could still talk, even if just barely.
"...Causing so much trouble."
"It's.... fine. But, we'll probably have a whole lot of people to apologize to after this... right? How do you feel? Nana...?"
...
..
.
There was something about Ai that caught Banri's attention as he watched on as she treated their classmate.
It was incredibly troubling the more he thought about it.
Ai knew exactly what she was doing. Treating Forta.
Then why did she stand by for Kuni, Ryuu, even Fuka!?
This wasn't a time to bring it up.
They had to get Ryuu, Fuka and Kuni to the library where they could get further treatment.
Even if they could stand up now, they had to get looked at.

"Oh, Hayato. I see that our services have impressed you to the point that you have brought us some referrals in Fatuita. They've arrived."
"That's DOCTOR Fatuita. But, alright then, lets go from most critical to least critical."
"Anyway, don't mind those scary looking thuggish folk. You won't have to worry about them unless you're like, a scummy person who can't pay for their own treatment! Now lets get started~!"

Kuni and Forta both ultimately needed to stay and recuperate.
Those whom were present couldn't understand what the strange girl with dual tone hair did to them. But she did so so quickly.
Kuni's neck felt stiff, but the... uncomfortable feeling of having a slice in her neck. It was gone. Covered under clean bandages. She wondered why she was even still here being told to rest. It was like she didn't need any treatment any longer - and that fact scared her.
She couldn't remember what Fatuita had done to her after she pulled her to the back. Likewise did Ryuu no memory of a treatment at all. But it was evident that after he had returned, he felt much better.
Fuka wasn't quite as lucky though. The hole in her hand was cleaned and plastered over, but it was left to heal on it's own it seemed. What a jip.
Their friends were safe now. But it provided little relief. Because now came the question of how to pay for the treatment that Kuni, Fuka, and Ryuu had received. According to Doctor Fatuita the pay was supposed be much higher. But it was lowered down a bit from the norm due to this special case. Still, they owed about four months allowance altogether. Four times the amount of what Fuka had given to Kira earlier.
Save for Laura, all those present at the gardens were now slightly bunched up in Kuni's 'hospital' room. Forta also had her own room to recuperate, but at the moment it was closed off. Ai and Kagami were having a discussion with her.
Outside of Kuni's room, Kuuyari stood out in the hallway by Kuni's, just finishing a hushed conversation with Fatuita, she turned away as the dual tone girl walked off.
Kuuyari was visibly in a foul mood. It made one wonder what they had been talking about. She poked her head into Kuni's room.
"Four thousand credits then, for the pinkish one, the Fool, and the Flamboyant one. That's the best that can be done then."
She closed her eyes.
"You know why the asked for your room numbers, correct? In the event that the patient can't pay, then they'll extract that payment from your material possessions. The moment a patient walks out of this building... the debitors will get set loose. If they treat you and they WILL get paid. That's how the only reputable student clinic in this facility works."
Kuuyari had lots of money, didn't she? Why couldn't they just..?
The shortie shot a death glance at the first person to even think of it.
"Don't even think about it. Even I couldn't pay that all off on my own at this stage."
"That detestable one has already made me give charity. But no more. But, considering I've already had to chip a fraction of my fortune away for this, I don't think it'd be too hard to have the rest of you chip in for the rest. That is, if you want to go that for for those three."
Four thousand credits.
The moment either Fuka, Kuni, or Ryuu stepped out of this building... they wouldn't be able to make it back in time to stop their things from being pilfered.

Ai sat up against the door. This wasn't a conversation that she wanted anyone else to hear. This is something that had to stay between them.
Forta lay on the hospital bed. She felt fine. Amazingly fine. Just what did that doctor do to her?
"Forta, do you feel better? Well enough to talk?"
She nodded meekly.
"Good. Because, we have a whole lot to talk about. Like why several of our classmates are in the hospital, for instance."
