Kaya-chan Isn't Scary (カヤちゃんはコワくない)

It's the suspicious man!

Don't lay a finger on my students!

Kaya.

Come with Mommy.

You mustn't be fooled!

Behold, Kaya-sama!

It mimics a human form,

but just beneath the skin lies a monster with a baleful soul.

That is most certainly not your mother, Kaya-sama.

Impressive, Kaya-sama!

Huh?

This is the third time we've met.

I'm Uncle Mob. The man you saved that day.

That day?

I see. You don't remember me.

That's not surprising, since you were this little back then.

But that exorcism! I could never forget it.

At last, I can return the favor!

"Back then"? "Exorcism"? "Return the favor"?

Occult Journalist

As for who I am: take this.

A business card?

Occult Journalist

Mob Osamu, occult journalist?

There's something I want to discuss with you about Kaya-sama.

Huh? About Kaya-chan?!

Let's meet again some other time.

Please call the number on my business card.

What? I have to call you?

Occult Journalist

He's...

He's super sketchy.

He lived up to his title.

Which made me wonder how he knew Kaya-chan.

What's this?

Forget it. I'm sure that whole "return the favor" thing was in his head.

Either way, I have to protect Kaya-chan from that man.

Hey, Kaya-chan. What are you drawing there?

It's beautiful!

I'm gonna color it.

Oh.

What's the matter?

No black.

You're right. Did you use it all up?

I had more left.

Maybe you dropped it somewhere?

Sensei! The black one's missing from my crayons.

Huh?

This isn't normal.

You said it.

It's the crayon thief!

Who stole them?

Calm down now.

What's wrong, Yuzu-chan?

Where's our crayons?

N-Nothing! I'm okay.

Huh?

U-Um...

I saw Kan-chan with lots of crayons just now.

Kan-chan?

Color, color.

Yuzu-tan!

Kan-chan! Don't draw on the mirror!

The thief was Yuzu's baby brother.

He's in the first-year class. Guess we shouldn't be mad at him.

I'm really sorry.

I mean, it's fine with us. But...

Why is he coloring over the mirror?

I have absolutely no clue. I know I shouldn't say this,

but he's sort of a troublemaker like Kaya-chan.

Scawy.

Scawy.

What happened? What's "scary"?

I'm scawed.

Bah. That's all he says.

What's so scary about a mirror?

Is it 'cause he's young for his grade? It's frustrating how childish he is.

Mel-sensei, you shouldn't say that.

Sorry, everyone. I'll make sure to scold him. Please forgive him. Okay?

Okay!

Aw, thank you. You guys are so sweet.

Even if kids won't understand, she shouldn't say it like that.

Let's go play over there!

Yeah, it's not good. I'll have a word with her later.

Oh, Chie-sensei.

Huh?

Mel-sensei.

Extended care today? Sounds rough.

Are you washing off that mirror?

Yep. Kan-chan can't clean up after himself,

so I'm stuck cleaning it for him. It kills me.

I guess we'll just have to do our best with the troublemakers, huh? See ya.

Promise

Like Kaya-chan, huh?

Scawy.

I know I shouldn't say this,

but he's sort of a troublemaker like Kaya-chan.

Like Kaya-chan.

Hey!

Are you going to be okay by yourself? I can help.

Don't worry about it. You're on duty, right?

It'll have it sparkling in no time.

Good grief.

He really went all out.

Still, we adults have all sorts of tricks up our sleeves.

So with this, I'll be done in no—

Huh?

Wh-What?

N-No...

That voice just now...

Mel-sensei!

No!

H-Help me!

Help me!

Ouch.

A-Are you okay?

I-I'm fine.

What's gotten into me? I thought I saw something when I saw my reflection.

Then, I fell and got shaken up.

Sorry for scaring you.

Hanamugi Kindergarten

Good morning!

Kan-chan. Yuzu-chan.

M-Mel-sensei.

Morning, Sensei!

Good morning.

Good morning. I'm sorry about yesterday.

Huh?

I was surprised and overreacted.

And Yuzu-chan, you were being honest, but I never said thank you.

So thank you.

Sure!

I like you, Mel-sensei!

Talk about a change of attitude. Kudos to you, Akira-sensei.

But what did you say to her?

Ah, I'm glad you like me!

Me, too! I like you!

Really?

Yup!

Me, too! I love both of you!

Uh, I was going to talk to her today, but...

Is it just me or has her whole vibe changed?

It's like she's a different person.
