The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer (拷問バイトくんの日常)

Here, use the formula you just used.

Oh! So I just use this.

Yeah. You've got it now, right?

Oh, there's one more thing I want you to show me.

Wait, which textbook was it again?

You should clean your desk.

I might've left it in my bag.

Modern Torture Studies

Math II

Huh?

Modern Torture Studies

Math II

Here it is.

This is bad.

Is he interested now that he knows what my job is?

No, it's possible that someone just happened to give it to him.

No, no. But...

Luc's always been a kid who likes to imitate me.

Look! It's just like yours, Nii-chan!

Mama did it for me!

Hey, you old hag! Whaddya think you're doing?!

If I don't handle this right, he might end up even more interested.

And if I oppose his learning about it, he might start worrying about me.

Nii-chan, for this problem here...

What's in my little brother's best interests here?

What a tricky problem.

What? It's that hard?

The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer

All right! I win again!

You're good at this, Luc.

Nii-chan, you're losing on purpose, aren't you?

Well, if I play for real, you'll cry.

I only did that when I was a kid.

Now, I'm just happy you're hanging out with me.

He's so cute!

When He Was Little

Nii-tan, this is for you!

I Love You

He's so cute!

Not Long Ago

I bet you've got work again anyway.

It makes me feel a little lonely, but he's so cute!

Lately

Nii-chan, welcome home!

He's ultra cute!

You're the cutest little brother in the whole world.

But I'll still win every match. Is that okay?

I knew you were holding back.

Hey, Nii-chan?

You haven't told Mom or Dad you're a torturer, right?

Huh? Uh, yeah.

Are you hiding it?

I figured it's perfect. They don't ask, so I don't tell them.

Dad would probably worry, but Mom might be a bit of a pain.

That's why I haven't said anything.

Should I keep it a secret?

Please.

Sure!

Shoes

You're sure you want cleats for your birthday?

Yeah! Thanks!

Wouldn't Mom buy them for you?

You'll be using them for the soccer team.

Aw, but I want to wear shoes that you bought for me!

Oh, I'm getting a call.

Look to your left.

Siu-san!

Hey.

Siu-san, what were you doing?

Just shopping.

We were getting Luc's birthday present and...

Oh, sorry. I'm getting another call.

It's Noe.

Sero!

Your paperwork is completely illegible!

Decipher them on a video call! Immediately!

I need to step away for a moment.

Sure.

This is awkward.

Are those good?

Yes.

I heard you're interested in torture studies at university.

How did you—

Sero said he found materials in your room.

Do you have a problem with it or something?

I don't have a problem with it,

but I know the anxiety and worry that comes when family takes an interest in it.

I understand it, too.

When we grow up, we're going to do the same job as Papa!

Damn. No, they're still just children, so...

It seems dire.

It's not fair.

You do the same work as my brother, and you get to be with him all the time.

I want to spend more time with him, too.

Needy much?

Needy

But you both take pride in your work as torturers, don't you?

Pride, huh?

Yet you don't want to let your family do the same work?

Kid.

It's true that our work isn't something that most people would like.

It's tough, blue-collar work that wears on the mind and body.

It may be our colleagues who support us at work,

but who supports us in our private lives?

Our families.

If you're willing to get into the same line of work on a half-baked whim,

then you should support him as his beloved younger brother instead.

You're... right.

That's finally over.

Huh?

It's from Siu-san.

Siu-san

Siu-san

I talked to your brother about the thing you were worried about.

I talked to your brother about the thing you were worried about.

Siu-san...

He's so smug!

Sorry about that.

That ended up taking a while.

Nii-chan.

I'm going to study torture more after all.

I just took a casual interest in it because I wanted to be with you,

but when Siu-san said I need to think about it more carefully,

I realized...

Both at work and as your family...

I want to support you, Nii-chan!

Why? Why? Why?

How did things turn out like this?

Sorry, okay?

Another Day

Nii-chan!

Hey.

Las-kun, you're here.

Just for a little while.

I'm killing time until work.

Nice to meet you.

And who might you be?

I'm Mike!

He's my friend from work.

Huh?

I thought Mike-san from your work was older than you.

I'm pretty,

but I'm a 22-year-old man!

For real? Please pardon my rudeness.

I'm the one who should apologize for this criminal cuteness.

I'm Hugh's friend. My name is Las.

No need to be so formal.

So, what were you two about to do?

Go to a lecture on torture studies!

We thought we might be able to if we hid among the students.

There are so few students taking torture studies, I don't think...

Don't look at me like that.

Well, that professor would probably just let you listen.

Maybe I'll go and sit in, too.

Your friend from your part-time torture job?

I suppose it's fine.

As far as passionate students go, Hugh-kun...

you're the only one.

And it seems all of my students are absent today.

What?

It really isn't popular at all, huh?

And that's where we'll stop on the topic of illegal torture.

Any questions?

Yes!

This is the first one of my lectures has felt so worthwhile!

It was super interesting!

I'm surprised you keep teaching.

My tummy is so rumbly, la, la, la...

Studying made me hungry.

Want to head to the cafeteria?

I do!

Sorry! I wanted to ask the professor something.

Go ahead without me.

Okay.

Will do!

Las-kun, how long have you been friends with Hugh?

Since our second year of high school.

Really?

I bet he stood out, huh?

Well, I mean, with his height and that face...

I bet you stood out, too.

Well, I mean, I do have these good looks.

Which of you talked to the other first?
