The chat with Abhirami went for a bit longer than Taro expected and in the end, her father had to co to the school for her to actually leave his side. Never in his life had Taro actually felt exhausted doing sothing. However, in that particular mont, he was done; he was so exhausted that he felt as if his brain wasn't even functioning normally anymore.
"Mr. Sadanandan! How are you doing?" Shivani finally ca out of the shadows and confronted Taro directly.
"Ah, it's you! Why haven't you gone ho yet?" He asked. Normally, they head to the Holy Land a few hours early, so he was surprised that she stayed back.
"Well, we head there together, right? So, it's not a big deal." She shrugged.
"Wait, the other three are waiting too?" He asked.
"Obviously! They're waiting for you on the school grounds." She smiled as she replied.
"Hmm, let's head down then." Taro stood up from his seat and headed to the ground.
"So, how was your talk with Abhirami?" Shivani asked, to which Taro could do nothing but sigh.
"Ah If I had to explain the experience that I had with her, I would use the word excruciating. She's got quite a mouth, doesn't she? How can this girl talk for this long? I an, I was trying to learn what's going on with her life and maybe give her so advice based on that, however all I got to know was the love triangle she has with two guys. I an why? Why can't she be like a normal person involved with just one guy or no guy at all! I an, life doesn't end if you don't end up in a relationship. Look at ! Thirty years and I still haven't got myself in a relationship Wait, don't tell that to Abhirami because I told her that I was engaged to put a stop to her moves Her moves Yea, she was trying to make moves on amidst her love triangle stuff. I an Is she trying to create a harem of guys or sothing? That kinda stuff doesn't work smoothly like it's shown in shows and stuff, she knows that, right? Argh I'm getting annoyed!" Taro couldn't control his emotions. After wasting hours trying to listen to a teenage girl's romantic problems, he couldn't remain sane anymore.
"Hmm, she isn't that bad though. Underneath all that advances towards random people, haughty behavior, blabbering mouth and several other stuff, she isn't that bad. I an yea, she literally forces you to do things her way, I an this past day, she forced into playing so Gacha ga" Shivani was about to tell her side of the story, when Taro stopped on his tracks.
"Gacha ga?" He asked.
"Oh, don't worry. We don't use our parent's debit cards. We play for free!" Shivani reassured him, misunderstanding his surprise as one about her playing a ga with in-ga transactions.
"So, you guys are playing a Gacha ga, huh? Which one?" He asked. His face looked as serious as it can go when he posed the question.
Suddenly, Shivani felt as if she made the wrong decision talking about Gacha gas before her class teacher. She could sense sweat beads rolling from her forehead. She didn't expect her rather free flying class teacher to turn dead serious upon the ntion of Gacha gas. However, she had already dug a hole for herself, so she had no choice but to jump head first towards it. "Ah, it's the Holy War: Grand Battle It's the ga of the ani-" Before she could complete her sentence, she was interrupted.
"It's the ga of the ani Holy War: Battle Maniacs, I know that!" He roared. It seed as if he was really furious about it. "Why didn't she tell about it?" He roared yet again.
Seeing the person beside her go full-on furious mode, the socially awkward Shivani couldn't handle the situation and suddenly went timid. "I an she wouldn't have expected you to make a big deal out of it!" She roared back at least tried to after mustering up all the courage that she could find. However, it ended up as a squeal, rather than a roar like the one Taro did. One could clearly hear the fluctuations in her voice and Taro wasn't any different.
After coming back to senses from Shivani's squeal, Taro sighed. "What I an is that, if she didn't have anything serious troubling her, then she had all the ti to talk about the ga and the strategy she uses in the ga or sothing. I an, my strategies aren't really working in the PvP these days, so I would have loved to get an opinion on them. Rather than speaking that sorta stuff, what did she do? She ended up talking about her romance, which I totally didn't care for!" He explained the reason behind his fury.
"Wait a minute! You play the ga?" She asked in surprise. She never expected a teacher to play a Gacha ga!
"Every day! It's like my salvation." Taro smiled.
"Whoa! I'm playing as well. Hell, Sujatha is playing it as well!" She spoke in excitent. Thankfully, she got out of the timid shell that was brought out due to Taro's sudden fury.
"Dayum! How about we beco friends then? What's your friend code?" Taro asked as he took out his phone and opened the ga.
"About that. I don't actually rember the code. It's got weird numbers and stuff. So I will send the code when I reach ho. I guess I'll give you my Budsapp number, so send a hi, and I'll send the code to you Or, you can send the code, and I'll send you the friend request." She replied.
"Hmm, gim your number then. I'll send you the code, so hit up with a request when you're free!" And with that, they ended up exchanging contacts with each other or at least, Shivani gave her number to Taro. It would've been easier if she had her phone right then, however the school had strict rules against students bringing electronic items to school. So, this was the only action they could do. Anyway, the world's longest walk to school grounds, which had a roller coaster of emotions, ended in a pretty high note. The squad had a pleasant ti walking back to the Holy Land.

The next morning; Taro had a bright smile on his face. He got to play the Holy War ga with the people he knew for the first ti. Although he previously tried making his roommates play the ga, they weren't really sold on an ani ga and rejected his invitation. However, with one go, he just got three people willing to play the ga with him when Shivani ended up asking Abhirami and Sujatha to send him requests as well. It was a pretty fun night for him. He actually ended up playing PvP matches against all three girls and realized that even with his cash infused squad in the ga, he could only defeat Abhirami by a hair's breadth. The other two were relatively easy, however Abhirami was an entirely different beast in the ga. At that point, he had a newfound respect towards her in his heart. He wasn't ashad to admit that he was actually weak and decided to take classes on the strategy he should use from her at least once a week. Thus, his previous opinion on her beca null and void with this.
"What the hell are you spacing out for? It's ti. Let's head out." Thankappan spoke, as he waved his hand before Taro's eyes. He didn't like getting late, especially since he's being so calculative about it.
"Ah, yes!" Taro replied as he got up and stopped reminiscing about the aweso ti he had in the ga. With him up, everyone was ready to go to school.
Thankappan excitedly opened his door to greet Shivani, however he didn't expect soone to block his path to her. He was about to rain profanity on the person before him He quickly placed those thoughts on the back seat when he realized that Lonappan was the one standing there.
"Hey, Lonappan! Are you here for John? Great timing, I guess We were about to go as well! I an, what are the chances, huh?" Thankappan laughed.
"No."
"Huh?"
"I'm not here for him. I'm here for you guys." Lonappan replied.
"But, why?" Thankappan didn't quite understand. He couldn't rember screwing anything up more than what Lonappan did in the recent tis.
"Hmm, I'm not comfortable speaking about it around other people." Lonappan replied, signalling towards Shivani behind him with his eye. Shivani seed to notice this and quickly left the premises before Thankappan could even give an explanation.
After Shivani left, everyone went back to the room, much to the surprise of John. "So, what is it?" Thankappan asked, clearly showing his displeasure towards what Lonappan just did.
"Well, you're all off-duty today." Lonappan dropped the bomb that none of them expected.
