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

Let's have a flower-viewing party!

Let's do it!

This morning, I saw a spot where they were in full bloom!

Let's all go see them together!

What?

It doesn't really do us any good to look at some cherry blossoms.

And it'll be all dusty.

Yes, that's true.

What a shame.

I guess we could go.

I do happen to be free tonight.

Thank you!

I'm not quite satisfied with how this went...

But whatever! Let's go!

All right!

Siu-san, have you ever been to a flower-viewing party?

Do I look like a man who likes flowers?

Yes, very much so.

Don't just say random shit.

Papa, cherry blossoms!

I didn't really look at the flowers,

Yes, they are.

Papa, they're pretty!

but my kids pestered me, so we went.

Yes, they are.

That makes sense.

Flower viewing! Flower viewing!

Let's go! Let's go!

I can't wait.

Hey, Hugh, do you like flower-viewing parties?

I'm not sure.

I've only ever done them as a child.

Same here.

I wasn't particularly into them before...

but when I saw them today, they were so pretty.

And I thought, "It'd be so nice to look at them with everyone."

I thought the same thing!

Really? So we're the same!

I can't wait to go!

Yeah!

A flower-viewing party?

Apparently, they're going after they finish work.

Oh, yes. Well, they will fall soon, after all.

Do you want to go, too?

No, I'm not interested.

But I'm glad everyone is getting along so well.

They're such good kids, aren't they?

I'd love to see the people who raised them!

Shall I bring you a mirror?

Gloom...

GLOOM

With this much work, we won't have time for a flower viewing.

Boo.

Don't act like babies.

I'm sorry.

It's not like this is your fault.

We got some urgent cases in,

but Siu-san and I will handle them.

You two can go if you want.

HISS

I wanted to see them with all of us together.

If just the two of us go, there's no point.

Mike-kun...

But... I understand how important this work is.

So let's do our best and get it all wrapped up!

Yeah!

Seriously...

You've become such good kids!

I guess your big brother here will have to show what he can really do.

Right, Papa?

Who're you calling "Papa"?

Done

That was fast!

We did hurry, but...

if we change clothes, we won't make it in time.

It's pitch-black over there at night.

Oh.

There's a cherry tree at the park near here, isn't there?

The one that has the street lights on at night.

Let's go there!

It won't be much compared to the place you wanted to go.

That's totally fine!

Let's try going there.

It's so pretty.

One tree is more than enough!

Well, cherry blossoms are cherry blossoms.

Yes, they're quite impressive.

Well, good work again today!

Cheers!

Thank you...

you for going along with our selfish request today.

It's not a problem.

Mike-chan, are you satisfied, too?

Yes! Thank you.

I'd like to see them with everyone again sometime.

Yeah.

Welcome, everyone!

THRILLED

We've been wanting to come here for so long!

You can look around the first floor without a license,

so you could've come sooner!

That's what I thought,

but Siu-san and Sero-san said...

"If you go by yourselves, you'll be sitting ducks, so don't do it."

I-I wouldn't take advantage of you!

Wow!

There are so many books I've never seen before!

Wow, this is incredible!

There are specialist volumes here that aren't in general circulation.

They're all pretty expensive.

Makes it hard to decide which to buy.

What are you deciding between?

We'll take all of them.

They're big brother sitting ducks.

Torture Supply Store 2nd Floor

Your licenses look okay.

You and your companions can come right this way!

This is amazing!

Right?

Look! Look at this device!

Who gets that excited in a shop like this? Weirdos.

Wow, that's so cool!

There's a new model of whip out.

Siu-san... you're pretty odd yourself.

It's a garrote! Wow!

It's so cool!

Excuse me, Belta-san?

Hmm? What is it?

Would you mind taking a picture of us?

What?

Peace! Peace!

I like how it's so easy to adjust the pressure on the neck.

It steadily inflicts pain and fear,

so it'd make it easy to extract information!

I get a lot of odd ones among my customers...

but those kids are way weirder than most.

Yeah, I thought they might be.

They're very promising, after all.

How do you use this?

Oh, that?

It's like a crane game.

It grabs onto flesh or skin.

Like... Wham!

Seems painful.

Do we have one?

It's so funny how their tastes are slightly different.

A license, huh?

Maybe I'll try studying for one.

It never hurts to have one.

If you're going to get one, I'll give you some gentle lessons.

Just give it some thought.

We will!

Gentle, huh?

He wasn't gentle with me at all!

Because I believed in you, obviously.

Siu-san!

Don't force me to do this dumb stuff.

So, that's what this shop is like.

Do you feel satisfied?

Yes!

If you want to come again, just ask.

Sero-san!

Can we get a garrote at our place?

I guess I could ask Noe.

If that doesn't work, just cry until he caves.

Yes, sir!

Oh, right.

Bel-san, are they finished?

They've already arrived!

Wait here just a sec, okay?

Those are presents from us.

Sero-san!

Mike-chan, put it down. Put it down.

Sero-san!

Wow! This is amazing!

It's incredible!

It has my name on it!

Mine has mine, too!

Let's use these and work even harder!

Yeah!

It just took one device

to get them that motivated.

Those were good purchases, huh?

Actually, though...

They're just so cute that we wanted to reward them, that's all.

That's all it was.

Forget love-blinded parents. They're love-blinded mentors.

We're off to do some torturing!

Hey!

Are you using those again?

Yes.

There's no need to use those for everything, you know.

But...

No buts!

If you're going to act spoiled, I'll take them away!

What?!

Keep it to twice a day.

Are you their mom?
