School Babysitters (学園ベビーシッターズ)

Today's the day of the Morinomiya Academy Culture Festival.

For some reason, the daycare room has to participate, too,

so we set up a refreshment stand.

Daycare Room Vegetable Café Children dressed as vegetables will bring you juice. Points of caution: Juice may spill. They will frequently fall and lose it all. If they manage to bring it to you, make sure to praise them.

Ryu-chan, maybe you shouldn't have written this.

I doubt anyone's gonna come after this.

Not that I mind, since it's less I'll have to do.

Yeah, but come on, Usaida-san...

Go, go, Kotaro-chan!

I want juice! Wanna drink juice!

Are you guys okay?

As you can see, Kirin-chan is about the only one who can carry it properly,

so we really need the warning note.

School Babysitters

You really are talented, though, Usaida-san.

You made these vegetable costumes for all the kids.

Incidentally, I made one for you, too.

I actually had one for Ino-chan, too,

but apparently, she has to focus on her own class exhibit.

At any rate, I hear the kids' fathers will be coming.

Really?

The way you just put it on without protest is something I love about you, Ryu-chan.

My papa's coming, too!

Really? That's nice, Kirin-chan.

I guess I'd better say my hellos.

I'm getting pretty nervous!

The truth is, Mamizuka-san is the only one I've met personally.

Good morning, Kashima-kun.

Um... excuse me... I can't stand up!

Then I'll move ya!

Hey, Taka-kun, stop!

This is hilarious.

Usaida-san, stop watching and help me!

Kotaro, you don't have to roll with me!

Hey, I had a free moment, so I thought I'd come help...

What's this giant corn doing here?

It's blocking the door.

The corn is me! Please help me up, Kamitani!

Ms. Kumatsuka, will the drama club be okay without you?

I need to get back right away, yes.

Mama, aren't you gonna drink my juice?

I'm sorry, Kirin.

But Papa will be here to watch you shine in my place.

Speaking of my husband, I actually wanted to ask you all a favor.

A favor?

Yes. I don't think it will be a difficult favor, but...

Hey, want to go to the haunted house when we're done?

Reception

We have pamphlets!

Won't it be scary?

My charming dears.

Maybe!

Would you kindly tell me where I might find the daycare room?

Yes, gladly!

Candy Store

How am I supposed to enjoy the culture festival when she's not even here?

Candy Store

Excuse me, young man.

I'm looking for the daycare room.

Could you take me there?

Sure thing.

Who's this wild man?

Hey, is it true that Mamizuka Kosuke is here?

Let's find him quick!

I wanna meet him, too!

Takuma! Kazuma! Your father's on his way!

Although you're probably not actually waiting for me...

Kamita! Kamita!

Kamita...

Veggie Café Entrance

Kirin! Papa's come to see you on your big day!

Papa-san!

Oh, boy! What a cute little carrot you are!

The goddess of the vegetable world!

After seeing cuteness like this, I can never eat a carrot again!

Papa-san, it's not good to be picky about food!

You've arrived quite early, dear.

Mama!

You bet! I flew in to see you both as soon as I could!

These flowers are for you.

I'm sorry for working so much and leaving you lonely.

It's all right.

As long as I have Kirin, I won't be lonely.

I just love that independent streak! In fact, I love...

But forget about that.

You really should say hello to the people of the daycare room.

Oh, yeah, right.

So, where are these cute high school babysitter girls?

They're over there.

Hi! I'm Usaida Usako.

This is Ryuko-chan, a high school girl,

and this is Kamitani Hayako-chan.

The three of us are the babysitters.

S-Sensei, this won't work...

Ryu-chan, it's slipping.

Well, well! You're just as beautiful as I'd heard.

Thank you for taking care of my Kirin...

Except that you're very clearly a man!

This is freaking creepy, jerk!

Knew it...

Great one, Dad. Perfect comedic timing.

I don't want a man calling me "Dad"!

Yayoi-chan, what's the meaning of this?

You didn't say anything about male babysitters!

And... she's gone.

Though I love that coolness of hers, too.

But hang on here. All the kids are boys, too.

Those tomatoes are cute, but they're still boys!

Papa-san, Midori-chan is a girl!

So she is! Sorry about that, Onion-chan!

I'm an awful person.

Look at those cute little round eyes of yours!

If I were thirty years younger, I'd ask for your hand!

Now, you kids!

What are your intentions for my Kirin? Be honest!

I like Kirin-chan!

Me, too.

I knew it! Filthy beasts!

I like them all, too!

I don't like you at all, Kirin!

And I don't like you, Taka, because you're a bully!

What kind of jerk doesn't like my adorable Kirin?!

Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

And you're picking fights, too?

I'm liking all this less and less.

Not one of you is acceptable!

You expect me to leave my adorable unmarried daughter in this beast room full of men?!

We're leaving, Kirin!

P-Please, wait!

I understand that you're worried about Kirin-chan,

but they're all really just good friends.

I know you might be nervous about leaving her in a room full of men,

but I'm doing everything I can!

Despite how he looks, Usaida-san can be very reliable when he tries.

Kamitani's a really good person, too.

So please... trust us!

Very well.

I'll trust you.

Having a cute, courageous girl like you here changes everything.

Ryuko-chan, was it?

If I were fifteen years younger, I'd ask for your hand.

Uh, what?

But Ryuko-chan, I have to say, your voice is quite husky for a girl.

I hope you're not catching a cold.

Do take care.

Um, I...

Okay, um, he hasn't figured it out... so should I keep pretending I'm a girl?

Um... um...

We're leaving, Kirin.

Hey!

No matter how cute you may be, males are unacceptable.

K-Kamitani, say something!

Hey, old man.

If you wanna leave this place, you're leaving by yourself.

I'm getting annoyed.

Hey, now! Don't be so cold, my dear!

If I were fifteen years younger, I'd ask for your hand.

Such a cool beauty!

I think you're totally nuts.

Why was I the only one he saw through?

That thing's hot!

You're a man, too?!

Papa-san...

Don't you wanna watch me carry juice?

I practiced really hard...

Of course I do!

I was so looking forward to watching you perform,

and also to meeting the cute babysitter girls!

Uh, hey, Dad...

I think you said a few things you meant to keep inside.

Shut up, jerk! I told you I don't want you calling me Dad!

Excuse me.

Just who are you, and why are you holding my Midori?

Oh, hi there.

I'm Kumatsuka Satoru, father of Kumatsuka Kirin.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, I see.

I'm Sawatari Yutaka, Midori's father.

I hear that our daughters get along quite well.

Midori-chan's father?

Was there murder in his eyes... or was it my imagination?

Hey, that mountain man is Yukari-chan's husband?

Senpai, what are you doing here?

I lost to that bearded wild man?

What should I say at a time like this?

S-Sorry! I thought you were the guy...

Huh?

Yutaka-san!

You're already here?

Kosuke-kun, we're here now. It's all right.

Get it together, man.

Oh! Inui-kun, did you come to see the kids' refreshment stand, too?

Oh, no! This mountain ma—

I mean, your husband just wanted me to show him the way.

Thank you very much.

Well, goodbye!

Senpai...

Damn it!

But that girl before... She sure was cute...

Here you go, Papa-san!
