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

What are you looking at?

This says they can send us a few on a trial basis.

I can't wait to see what they send.

Don't let Bel-san take advantage of you.

Huh?

She'll send over some ridiculously expensive devices.

Is that what this is?

Of course, her main objective is...

Right? Isn't the shape of it just wonderful?

You absolutely must see and touch and experience it for yourself!

She just wants to show you all the torture devices she likes.

I see.

The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer

I'm finished with intake.

Yes, good work. You can go now.

Oh! We have a wild rabbit!

What? A wild rabbit?

What an adorable name.

Wild rabbit?

So many spikes.

How is this used?

After you... tie them to the wheel,

you turn this...

and the spikes on the bottom gradually strip off their skin.

It's like using a grater over their entire body.

The handle's hard to move, so it's hard to gauge the tolerances.

Won't they die?

They last longer than you'd think. It gets messy, though.

These are small, but they're spiky, too!

They look a little like accessories.

There's no point in using that on your skinny neck.

But...

That's adorable.

It reeks of iron.

This one isn't spiky!

It's a cage to hang people in and expose them to the elements, right?

But do you just lock them in there?

No.

They can't sit or anything, so it's pretty rough.

It's a battle of attrition.

I'd rather not be on the giving or the receiving end.

Me neither.

SMALL

That's adorable.

It's more comfortable than you'd think.

Were there any that interested you?

There's one that's deeply intriguing,

but it's large, so it may be a little inconvenient.

Most of the big ones tend to lean toward long battles or heavy damage.

They're interesting, but they might not be suited to our daily work.

Right?

Hey, wait! Please let me out of here!

That's true.

You're adorable, so I thought I'd keep you here as a pet.

Please don't say that with an expression that looks like you mean it!

Okay, so we'll return all of them.

Okay.

She'll probably come to pick them up tomorrow,

so we can leave them there and go home.

This is hard to use, but it does have a lot of impact.

Starting the fear through visuals is highly effective, isn't it?

Maybe this piece places more importance on that than usability.

Yeah.

The kinds of devices that inspire fear are actually...

Well, it's nice that they seem to have learned something.

Belta can be helpful every once in a while.

Yes? Hello.

Hi, Bel-san.

Sorry, but we'll be returning all the equipment you sent over.

What?!

They're not very practical.

Hang on!

There are uses for them other than torture, you know!

There are uses for them other than torture, you know!

Don't they make great interior decoration?

All those cold, spiky, magnificent forms!

Just thinking about the sight of them, all made to hurt people,

even the karma that casts its shadow over—

I've heard that Belta-san actually does live with torture devices.

Wow.

'Sup?

Sero-san?!

What happened? Why are you injured?

Shouldn't you take the day off?

I'm fine.

It's not as bad as it looks.

Was it a traffic accident or something?

No, no. This was just your average...

attack.

Attack?!

Some dangerous compatriots of someone I tortured before.

I guess it's what you'd call... "paying respects."

You say that like it's normal.

Well, I am famous in the industry.

Yeah, so first I got hit with a metal pipe out of nowhere...

What?!

Then I went in with a headbutt.

And then, I called the police.

It's all too wild for me.

And, well, looking like this,

my torture targets wouldn't take me seriously.

So I'll take a supportive role today.

Sheesh. Just don't push yourself too hard, okay?

Yeah, I won't.

This case... That's already next week.

Then... I'll have Mike take that, and...

I guess I'll give this one to Hugh.

About next week's schedule...

Would you rather do this one or this... one?

Huh? He's ignoring me?

Hey!

Siu-san!

What's going on?

Those injuries you have.

Huh?

Are you okay?

I'm totally fine!

I went to the hospital, and they went overboard with the bandages.

This is nothing!

Why are you smiling?

After going off on your own...

The torture session that got you attacked

was one that I was supposed to handle, wasn't it?

Yeah, but switching cases isn't—

It's what landed you in that state.

And if it is... so what?!

Why do you always try to take on everything by yourself?

You have so much that you have to protect as it is!

Please don't include me in that group.

If anything happened to you, it'd be a problem.

For this job, for everyone...

Well, it causes problems for me

if you're not strong and healthy!

And it's not just me.

You seem pretty angry.

What about you?

You were angry for my sake, right?

Then please understand why I'm angry, too!

For me, the idea of you getting hurt...

of the people you love getting hurt...

I don't want that.

If the alternative is you taking on everything alone,

I'd rather get injured!

I'm more useful than I used to be, right?

So let me take on just a little bit...

of everything you're carrying.

Ow!

Moron.

If you drop it, there'll be no forgiveness.

I won't drop it even if it kills me!

If it kills you, huh?

There you go, talking big again.

Hey! Are you doubting me?

I'm serious! And I'll prove it to you.

I can't go along with this.

Hey, you're the one who said it.

Just make sure you watch me work, okay?

What a pain.

The Daily Life of a Part-Time Torturer

This is amazing! It's so pretty!

All of you are always working so hard for us.

I thought it'd be nice for a change.

Oh, right. Where are Leu-chan and Nero-chan?

You don't need to be considerate on our accounts.

Moron.

Who would bother being considerate of you?

I let my brother and his wife take them out, that's all.

Papa!

Eri-kun said they'll take us to Lulupii Land!

Lulupii

And that we can stay over!

So you can go to the hot springs!

Oh, my.

Iris Room

Okay...

Sharing a Room

You're free until dinnertime.

Sakura Room

Okay!

Sharing a Room

Understood.

Peony Room

Should we hit the baths before dinner?

Yeah.

Huh?

Don't these pairings mean I'm the only one who doesn't get to relax?

Sure you will.

Sharing a Room

I'm a comforting guy, you know.

That's news to me.

This is paradise.

Right?

It feels so good,

it's strange to think that if you used it a little differently, it could be torture.
