Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou

What is that?

A robot?

It's an honor to meet you.

Hey, stop!

I am the guide to the Petit Hierozoicon,

and a loyal servant of Yushi-sama...

The Niyurius Fool.

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Well, um, this is...

It has to do with the dream I was going to tell you about.

I thought this book was a dream, but it wasn't.

Supposedly, it has spirits sealed inside, and...

Indeed!

Yushi-sama is the master of all twenty-two of us!

Shut up! Seriously, just be quiet!

So, Yushi-sama, who might this be?

I said, "Shut up!"

Calm down, Inaba.

Tell me what's going on!

H-Hase...

Seventh Haunting I'm in Training!

Open up!

This isn't the time!

Or you'll regret it!

Fool, do you have anyone who could be useful?

Indeed.

How about this one? The Devil, Cerberus!

Cerberus, the man-eating wolf of Hell!

However, he's still a pup.

He will be grown in another 200 years.

I can't wait that long!

Then how about him?

The Chariot, Hippogriff!

Hippogriff, the black griffin!

Steed of the gods, he can travel a thousand leagues in an instant.

Yes... We can ride it to safety—

Huh?

Well, he is the gods' steed.

Thus, he is proud, and you must know the trick to riding him.

He's useless!

Damn it...

What else is there? How about Strength?

Inaba, you said many spirits are in here, right?

Y-Yeah...

So perhaps...

Inaba, water. A water spirit.

Okay.

The Empress, Merower!

Merower, the water spirit.

Okay! Wash them away!

She still has—

I knew it!

No, this is good enough.

Now you're gonna pay, you bastards!

You can't get away.

Got it, Inaba?

Yeah.

Don't panic.

R-Right.

Thanks to you, our bikes are a mess!

Get ready!

Now!

The Tower, Ithaqua!

I-I'm numb.

All right!

Wh-What the hell did you do?

Ithaqua, the thunder spirit.

The hell did do you do?

Die, you bastards!

Stay away!

Now that you've brought that out,

you're willing to take some risks, right?

Sh-Shut up!

My arm! My arm!

And now he's in berserker mode...

Guess I'll call an ambulance later.

Master... Master!

Yeah?

If you do not recall the Hippogriff, he will fly to the world's end.

Oh, right.

Return, Hippogriff!

I-It came back...

Indeed.

Hey! Don't just bring it back!

I thought my eardrums would burst!

They passed out while standing up.

Poor things!

Well, they've probably learned that the world is a big place.

But how did you know that water and lightning were in the book?

Of course I knew.

The four elements are a core part of magic.

The four elements?

Fire, water, earth, and wind

Fire Wind Water Earth

are said to be the elements that comprise the natural world.

And then, some systems also have a fifth element called "ki."

How did you know that?

You were chosen to be a master of a magic book,

but you don't know anything, do you?

I can't help it... I didn't want to be.

That's a terrible thing to say.

Um, no... There, there.

Oh? This is the place?

It's a pretty classy apartment building.

Yeah. Thanks for everything today.

W-Want to stop in for a bit?

No, it's fine. Not today.

Another time.

I see.

Bye.

Inaba!

Next time, tell me everything.

Don't hide anything from me.

Okay.

I'm back.

Welcome home.

I'm back, Hanako-san.

Yushi-kun! Big trouble!

The book that Furuhonya-san gave me yesterday vanished!

I know I took it to the hospital!

I searched the building and the hospital all day, but I can't find it!

Don't worry.

It's right here.

The Petit Hierozoicon, huh?

I guess stuff like this happens, huh?

I can't believe they chose Yushi-kun as their master.

In the sea of eternal time,

they meet at the end of a vast world.

It's a miracle, isn't it?

That's an exaggeration!

I'm not that special, and neither is this book.

I'm just a normal person!

But I do feel fate at work.

Do you remember what I said before,

that you maybe had a knack for this stuff?

Come to think of it...

Fate. Miracles.

When my parents died,

I didn't believe in any of that.

But when I came to these apartments and saw all kinds of truths,

my beliefs started to change.

Fool said he'd been searching for a master for a long time.

Over the long years, he must have passed from one hand to the next many times.

Fire Wind Water Earth

Why do I have the right to be master to a magic book

over Hase, who knew about the four elements?

Maybe the fact that I was led to this apartment building

gave me that potential?

But what do I do now?

What are you so worried about?

Everyone around you specializes in this stuff.

Ask me anything, Yushi-kun.

And you have Fujiyuki-sensei and Ryu-san,

the best specialists you could want!

Weak Yushi-kun

At this point, it's best that you learn some things,

in order to keep you out of ghost trouble.

You can go from ignoring it to controlling it.

Yushi-kun Empowered by Knowledge

Right?

Right.

Um, I can't get you to sell this book, can I?

Sure.

It was a freebie to begin with, and the guys inside are fine with it.

Take it.

Thanks!

Hey, hey... What kinds of spirits are inside?

Show us!

They're really nothing special.

Fool.

You called, master?

Hello, everyone!

I am the guide to the Petit Hierozoicon,

the Niyurius Fool.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

This book's modeled after the tarot, huh?

Indeed.

Can I call Death?

You're starting with that one?!

It sounded sorta scary, so I haven't summoned it!

But it sounds fun!

They're nothing special, right?

So why not?

Okay, let's try it.

Death, Thanatos.

Thanatos! One of the archangels of death who serve the king of the underworld.

He's kinda tiny, huh?

You will die within three days!

Bunny-chan

Well, then...

Cheers!

Good luck, Yushi-kun!

You're the ones who wanted to see it!

Thanatos hasn't had any training yet.

Seeing when someone will die would be difficult.

That isn't the issue!

But isn't that great, Yushi-kun?

You don't have to die.
