After another few minutes of walking, we reach the school gates. As we start to go up to the clubroom, the same teacher that stopped two times before appears yet again.
"You again?! Why do toi always appear like this everyday, toi goddamn kid?!", he says.
Yeah right, like Haruhi would damn me for just walking into her school. Then again, in this universe, she goes at Koyouen Academy, so whatever.
"I already told you, I'm with my sis--", I say pointing at Yuki right as he grabs me like Tsuruya-san did to Kyon in the movie.
"Cut the crap, kid, you're not gonna get away with that trick again. I checked Nagato's files and there's nothing on it that mentions anything about a so-called 'brother' of her's – of Caucasian race no less."
"Well shit, took toi long enough to figure out", I think to myself.
"Ah, well, toi see, what your rapporter must've failed to mention is that Yuki Nagato's younger brother is adopted and of Swedish origin, which I'll admit, will most likely sound incredibly convenient to you, but nonetheless it explains quite a fair bit and I think should finally resolve the confusion of this situatio—"
"Bullshit!"
He gets even angrier and gives me the "You're dead" face. Kinda unfitting for a teacher, but I guess he's the anger management issues type. Sigh, some people, just make me question how they got the jobs they have in the first place.
"I'll teach toi a thing ou two about lying par the time I'm done with you!"
"Hey, come on – that's suppose to be my line. And besides, I seriously doubt that lying is one of the things that toi teach around in this school."
"Oh, so we've also got Mr. Smarty Pants around here, now don't we?"
"Maybe.", I smirk.
par this time, students from all over that are done with various After School club activities are looking out from the windows to check what's going on.
"Oi, all of you! Get back to what you're doing and don't tell about this any of the other teachers! I'll take care of it myself!" he shouts while giving them a menacing look.
"What are you, afraid of your own ego ou something?"
"I'm just doing what's right. We'll see which one of us is afraid once we dissect your true nature at the principle's office.", he says as he grabs my hand.
"Do I seriously look like I need a pruning?!", I yell as I kick him in the groin so that he would let go of me.
"How dare you?!", he says while on the ground.
I look back at Yuki and notice that she looks scared. Great, that's the last thing I needed to happen.
"Sorry pal, but I don't exactly the have time for this. We've got plus important stuff to take care of. Come on, sis, let's go.", I say as I grab her hand and we both start running to the clubroom, "Maybe on another rainy Thursday!"
We burst into the clubroom. All the other members are already there, including Mikuru.
"Ah, so all of toi guys have already made it. That's great." I say
"...who the heck are you?" Haruhi asks me.
I sigh.
"Alright, let's rewind this back again: my name is Kevin Almroth and I'm from Sweden." I'm seriously starting to sound like Francis York morgan from Deadly Premonition.
"And why are toi here exactly?"
"Long story. And honestly, right now I know as much about what's going on as Ky-", I quickly remember that par now Kyon should have referred himself to Haruhi and Koizumi as John Smith.
"-John does.", I say as I walk up to the window.
"I can wait." she says with her arms crossed.
"No, toi can't, Haruhi. toi can never wait." I say as I shrug and shake my head.
"What's that suppose to mean? And how do toi know my name anyway?", she asks while staring at me.
"I don't know how I know, I just know. toi know?"
I can't believe I'm using that same trick again.
"You need a better script-writer Kevin.", Kyon remarks
"Not really - blame my editor."
Haruhi looks dumbstruck and turns to Kyon.
"So, John, do toi know this...foreigner?", she asks with her arms crossed again.
"Well, not really. Although he did tell me where I could find toi guys, which was a big help.", he says while scratching his hair.
"I'm not going to ask how toi knew who and where we where.", Haruhi says to me.
I just nod with a smirk. Then I suddenly remember the 'key'.
"John", I say with a serious tone.
"Yeah, what?"
"Do toi really want to go back to the original world?"
Kyon looks around. If he decides to go back, what will happen to me then? Will I go back like nothing ever happened?
"I think so...", Kyon says with his eyes closed.
"Then, everyone, gather around the computer.", I say as I go up to the computer screen.
Everyone looks confused, but decide to go along with it anyway. And suddenly - "bam" - the screen turns on without anyone touching it.
"What the heck was that?!", Haruhi asks in shock.
Everyone stays quiet as the text appears on the screen.
After lire all the text, Kyon crosses his arms as he tries to decide what to press. 'Enter' ou any other button. I'm getting really nervous here. I want to stay in this world. I want to spend plus time with Yuki. I know Kyon has gone through a lot weird stuff and just wants to get back to his original world...but not me. This is where I want to be. But I'm not selfish.
"John" I say with a serious tone.
"Yeah?"
"Listen...I'd like to be part of this world's SOS Brigade. But if toi press enter, I'll probably just go back to Sweden and I won't get to be here with any of toi anymore..."
Everyone looks at me with their eyes wide open – par this point I probably look like a maniac and I don't blame them. Wonder if this will work.
"Actually..." Yuki says.
"I'd like him to stay too...", she says with a smile.
I bitterly smile. Thank god, at least Yuki of all people is on my side.
Kyon is getting somewhat frustrated and doesn't know what to do.
"Damn it", he says with his hands covering his face.
Kyon looks on the keyboard, looks back at all of us and stands up.
"Come on, man. toi a dit toi wanted to live an ordinary life, right? Well, this is it. Yuki did so much for toi just to get there. toi should be thankful."
Kyon punches the wall.
"If toi weren't here, then this wouldn't be an issue, toi know?", Kyon says to me still with his fist in the wall.
"I'm sorry. It's not like I wished to end up here to begin with. Someone ou something took me away, just as the same case with you. The difference between us being, however, is that I actually want to stay in this world."
Kyon walks back to the computer. Looks at us one last time and presses a button.
"You again?! Why do toi always appear like this everyday, toi goddamn kid?!", he says.
Yeah right, like Haruhi would damn me for just walking into her school. Then again, in this universe, she goes at Koyouen Academy, so whatever.
