Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki

A client from the Underworld?

You can travel from the Underworld to the mundane world?

It's not common.

It's a lot of work for a yokai to leave the Underworld.

That's the opposite of what we usually do.

It's a lot of work for a yokai to leave the Underworld.

But this client is going to the trouble of coming to the mundane world.

Why's that, Abeno-san?

Mystery 3 "Greetings"

Observing a mundane world school, huh?

Observing the school is essential to improving the standards

of the educational environment of the Underworld, and so on and so forth.

You summarized that too briefly!

She'll be observing the school for three days.

She's asked us to accompany her during that time.

Since Abeno-san has issues communicating, I should be more helpful than usual

at showing someone around the school.

I'll be the perfect guide.

Hey, Ashiya.

Ashiyan, are you heading home?

Yeah, Saga, Fusshi.

Fusshi and I were just talking...

Tomorrow's Saturday. Wanna go bowling in the afternoon?

Sounds fun! Oh...

Are you busy?

No, but...

When is the client coming?

Surely not tomorrow.

I'm free.

Great! It's decided.

We finally get to bowl again.

Go easy on us.

Modoribashi High School

Morning, Ashiyan.

Good morning, Fusshi.

Saturday sure was fun.

I can't believe Saga wanted to play eight games.

I was so sore, I slept all day on Sunday.

Me, too.

Morning.

Good morning, Fushimi-kun, Ashiya-kun.

Good morning, Fusshi, Ashiya.

Morning, Saga.

Good morning...

Ashiya?

I'll just ignore her!

So you're Ashiya-dono.

My name is Egen.

I'm here to observe your school.

Observe?

Oh, from last week—

Last week?

I said that out loud!

I haven't seen you since last Friday! Right, Abeno-san?

Isn't that true for everyone, since it's Monday?

Memorizing your textbook, huh?

We do have a test coming up. I'd better study, too.

Right, Abeno-san?

So this yokai is the client Abeno-san mentioned last week.

A yokai who came from the Underworld to observe the mundane world.

I think he said it was for three days.

Hey, what are you staring at?

Oh, look! A bug!

Uh-oh... Abeno-san is really angry.

I need to do something.

Abeno-dono, Ashiya-dono.

My being here may interfere with your studies.

However, I was finally granted this valuable opportunity to observe.

I shall continue my observation.

I must learn as much as possible before I depart.

Creating a school where everyone can study is my long-held dream.

She came so she can establish a school?

For all those who placed their hopes in me, I will make it a reality!

All right! I'll make up for the mistake I made earlier

by using my communication skills to be the perfect guide for Egen-san.

Good morning.

Class officer, lead the class.

At the center of atoms and protons are nuclei composed of protons and neutrons,

with electrons circling around them on fixed orbits.

The types of chemical bonds these form are ionic bonds,

covalent bonds, metallic bonds, and hydrogen bonds.

Incredible!

Is science class really that amazing?

The difference between these are...

Everyone studying here can read and write.

Incredible!

They all have matching study materials, too.

Sir, what does "nuckle" refer to?

It's not a fist, right?

That's NaCl. It's salt.

Salt?!

And there are even instructors well-versed in their fields.

How I envy this educational environment!

But how much will it cost to create a similar facility in the Underworld?

So having literacy, textbooks, and teachers is enviably amazing to her.

Ashiya-kun.

Why are you staring at the ceiling?

I was staring at her again!

What are you spacing out for, Ashiya?

You were looking off in random directions this morning, too.

Focus on your textbook, please.

Sorry...

All right, he's asleep! Lucky me!

The savage beast Ashiya-kun ran into while running his errand...

That was definitely the Justice, wasn't it?

You didn't notice?

Not many yokai would fearlessly travel to the Birdcage.

And given that it looked like a savage beast...

I was too furious to notice then, but now that you mention it...

I didn't think anything of significance

would happen since he was just delivering a document.

I can't believe he encountered the Justice.

If the Executive hears about Ashiya-kun through this incident...

It may not be a bad idea to be careful, Itsuki.

This will be on the test.

Make sure you remember it.

Next, page 87.

"Dear Abeno-san, I'm sorry about earlier.

I promise I'll show Egen-san around the school.

You can count on me."

That should do it.

He's still angry?!

I'll admit accidentally speaking to Egen-san was a mistake,

but he doesn't need to be that angry!

I got the last croquette roll!

You can have it, Saga.

Really? Thanks.

Huh?

Where's Abeno?

He was here when we said we were going to the store.

Yeah...

Egen-san's missing, too.

Abeno-dono, could you explain this as well?

There's something called a print shop.

A print shop...

Stare...

Um... What are you doing out here?

You could've said something.

You didn't come back even after I finished lunch.

You've been up here talking to Egen-san, huh?

You should've invited me, too.

I can help you show her around the school.

Excuse me, Ashiya-dono.

Yes?

Why are you wearing different clothes now?

This? Because I have PE next period.

I came to get you for that, Abeno-san.

PE? What kind of class is PE?

It's the most fun out of all the classes.

The most fun?

You should offer PE at Underworld schools, too.

I look forward to observing this class.

Also... I have another question.

Ask me anything!

Your employee is human, as well.

That has nothing to do with your observational visit.

Abeno-san?

Abenon, Abenon.

You didn't skip today.

Hey, Abenon.

Abenon.

Have I offended Abeno-dono?

I'm glad he didn't cancel my visit.

Now then, next is this PE that Ashiya-dono mentioned, the most fun of all classes.

I must thoroughly study and observe this class.

Abeno-san, I guess we're on opposite teams.

Ashiya, we're on the same team.

Yeah.

Abenon, we're on the same team.

What's his problem?

Is this studying?

It just looks like they're playing.

This won't be necessary for the Underworld's schools.

Nice, Ashiya!

Yes!

Hey, cut it out!
