Spelunker Sensei (Spelunker is a Teacher) OVA

If he falls even a short distance, he loses a life.

Then he returns.

Mr. Spelunker...

What...

What are you!?

Er? Just a schoolteacher.

Enter the Spelunker

Hey, I think we've got a new teacher next period.

Seriously?

He looks like he's a total pushover, too.

Then let's have a greeting ready for him.

Hello. I'm your new teacher,

Mr. Spelunker.

This isn't enough to kill me.

A fated meeting

Oh no!

I'm gonna be late!

Sorry! Are you okay!?

Mr. Spelunker Rising

And now Mr. Spelunker will speak.

Lately, there has been an increased number of traffic accidents.

Three have died at this school alone.

On the other hand, two of those were me.

Seriously.

And now Mr. Spelunker will speak.

This is Traffic Safety Week.

Let's all try for zero deaths this year.

Why are you all staring at me like that?

Mr. Spelunker, as usual.

Thanks to everyone's hard work during Traffic Safety Week last week,

there were no traffic deaths.

However, there were thirteen non-traffic deaths.

Of those, all thirteen were due to me slipping at school or in town.

Thank you very much, Mr. Spelunker.

My New Year

Happy new year!

Happy new year.

Let's make it a good one.

Yeah, sure thing.

By the way, what did you do over the holidays?

Oh, I just stayed home.

Happy new year, Mr. Spelunker!

Yeah, happy new year.

What did you do over the holidays?

The holidays?

Oh, I departed to my home.

He departed!?

I didn't die or anything.

Huh?

New year's resolutions

Tell me your goals for this year.

Okay!

I want to be myself and work hard!

How about you, Mr. Spelunker? What are your goals for this year?

I want to be like someone else and work hard.

Cold

Dude, it's freakin' cold.

I'm so cold I'm gonna die.

I can't take this! It was warm yesterday and now this crap!

Yeah, winter's coming.

Dude, seriously, this cold is enough to kill someone!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, let's skip class today.

Yeah, let's.

Hey, you two.

Oh crap, it's Mr. Spelunker!

That was a joke.

We'll go to class.

Do you die when it gets too cold, too?

Already!?

Yeah.

Lunchtime

Thanks for waiting!

Here's your croquette lunch!

Time to eat.

Have I been shot!? No, it's just sauce!

Just sauce, yet—!

My eyes! My eyes!

Thanks for waiting!

Here's your tonkatsu lunch!

714 yen.

Why did the sauce go flying like that!?

Wipe up and down.

I... I can't eat this...

Thanks for waiting!

Here's your fried shrimp lunch!

She's annoying enough to kill me.

Huh?

You eat the shrimp here tail and all, I guess?

Ow!

Hi! Can I take your order?

Something that won't kill me!

Humidifier

Er, what is this?

Oh, it's felt a bit dry in here lately, so I set up a humidifier.

Uh, Mr. Spelunker?

What's wrong? Why are you tensing up like that?

Oh, uh, no reason.

I... I don't think it'll kill me...

Will that kill you?

When He Dies

I heard Mr. Spelunker dies if a mosquito bites him.

I believe it!

And then the tingle of the Bactine probably makes him lose a life too!

No way, that's impossible.

Er... Um...

Neither one kills me.

LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU

SO WHY CAN'T I LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN MY HEART?

LOVE ME, PLEASE LOVE ME

I CAN'T FIND THE KEY TO 'KISS ME'

YOU JUST BE MY FRIEND

I'VE KNOWN YOU WERE SPECIAL SINCE THE MOMENT YOU CAUGHT MY EYE

IF I DON'T TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU, YOU'LL DIE, MY LITTLE KITTEN

YOU'RE NOT SO RELIABLE AND I CAN'T HOPE FOR THAT MUCH

YOU LOOK SO CHEEKY JUST QUIETLY SMILING

THE MORE I GET TO KNOW YOU THE LESS I UNDERSTAND YOU

I JUST WISH THERE WEREN'T SO MANY

KINDS OF KEYS TO MY HEART

CAN'T HELP IT I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU

SO WHY CAN'T I LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN MY HEART?

LOVE ME, PLEASE LOVE ME

SHOW ME THE KEY TO 'KISS ME'

YOU JUST BE MY FRIEND

November Third.

Bending neither to the rain

Nor to the wind

Nor to snow nor to summer heat.

Firm in body, yet

Without greed, without anger.

Always smiling serenely.

Eating his four cups of rice a day

With bean paste and a few vegetables.

Never taking himself into account

But seeing and hearing everything

Understanding

And never forgetting.

In the shade of a pine grove

He lives in a tiny thatched hut:

If there is a sick child in the east

He goes and tends to him:

If there is a tired mother in the west

He goes and shoulders her rice sheaves:

If there is a man dying in the south

He goes and soothes his fears:

If there are quarrels and litigation in the north

He tells them, 'Cease your pettiness.'

In drought he sheds tears,

In cold summers he walks through tears.

Everyone calls him a fool.

Neither praised
