Youkai Apartment no Yuuga na Nichijou

Thanks for the meal!

Did I eat too much for breakfast?

Fall makes you hungry.

And you can't stop eating Ruriko-san's cooking!

Huh?

How cute!

Kuri's imitating the tsukimi dumplings we made!

Nice, Kuri...

That looks fun!

Let me play, Kuri...

Let's make a castle now.

I want to join in!

Me, too!

We have to go to school, though.

What you guys doing—

Strike!

What are you doing, you old hag?

Who are you calling an "old hag"?!

Kuri!

Now, you've done it...

You'll pay for that.

What a sight.

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!

Chirpity-chirp! Chirp!

Another quiet day, chirp.

Another peaceful day, chirp.

Nothing out of the ordinary, chirp!

Joutou Business High School

Seventeenth Haunting The Road to Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions

Almost being late is rare for you, Inaba.

I got... involved in a mud fight this morning...

Damn, I'm late?!

Okay, time's up!

Chiaki-sensei?

Come on, run...

We're saved!

Thanks, Chiaki-sensei.

If you want to be grateful, wake up earlier.

It will make our lives easier.

Stop it!

All right, I'll read it.

This is one of my favorite Bible verses.

Do any of you know it?

You don't have to understand the meaning.

The important thing is that you hear the English.

"No temptation has overtaken you, but such has come into man.

And God is faithful.

He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you're able.

But with the temptation, he will provide a way of escape, also."

Chiaki and Aoki are kind of opposite types, huh?

Chiaki's popular with rebellious boys,

and Aoki's popular with studious girls.

Being popular with people of your own sex requires a special charm.

Well, either way, it's good to be popular.

Yamamoto?

How did that test go?

Awful.

I guess I did okay.

Seriously?

She's...

Hey, Yama—

Inaba-kun,

could you come with me?

Sure.

I heard your parents passed away when you were in middle school, right?

That must have been hard.

Y-Yeah...

You really are working hard.

I'm sure your parents are happy!

R-Right...

What is this?

You aren't a part of my life, so why are you saying this?

I'm not your homeroom teacher,

but I am your English teacher.

If anything comes up, please talk to me.

I'll always listen to you.

S-Sure...

Thank you.

You aren't the only one who's suffering.

Many people suffer and work hard, anyway.

You aren't alone!

Let's do our best together!

I'm back.

I don't really think of myself as suffering.

I don't know why, but I feel mad!

Master?

Inaba!

Listen to me!

What's up?

I was talking with Chiaki-chan in the hall.

And Aoki-sensei came...

It's true, Chiaki-chan!

Inaba's so funny!

It's fun to play with him—

Tashiro-san?

Y-Yes?

You shouldn't do that.

Call him "Chiaki-sensei" like you're supposed to.

O-Okay...

And, Chiaki-sensei?

Please stop touching the female students without reason.

N-No, Aoki-sensei! Chiaki-chan—

I mean, Chiaki-sensei didn't do it. I wrapped my arm around his!

It isn't his fault!

This isn't your fault, Tashiro-san.

Chiaki-sensei is in the wrong for not refusing to let you.

As a teacher, if he'd cared about you,

he should have rejected the gesture more firmly. Isn't that right?

Thanks for the speech.

B-But...

It's all right.

You didn't know anything.

It's we teachers who have to teach you.

And let's all try to call male students "-san," instead of "-kun."

But make sure you definitely use one or the other.

That's how it works in the adult world.

Once you're out there, you'll have trouble.

So make it a habit now.

Okay.

What a great teacher!

She really cares about us!

Sakura, are you serious?

I was really mad!

Why?

Wh-Why?

I'm not really sure, but...

Well, I'm sure she's just thinking about us.

But that doesn't necessarily mean she really understands you.

What do you mean?

In other words, you call me "Inaba."

But you use "-san" for older students in the club or your boss at work.

Of course. Even I do that.

She probably thought that you didn't.

I see. That's why I...

She's concerned about you.

But Aoki only sees a part of you.

A part of us?

She only sees a part, but she acts like she sees it all.

That's why you got mad.

And me, too.

Without my parents, it's lonely and hard.

That's true.

But that doesn't mean I feel like my life is ruined.

But without talking with me, without seeing anything,

Aoki decided how things were for me, based on her own values.

That's what made me so mad.

It's none of her business!

That's great!

If Aoki talks to me again, that's what I'll say!

That it's none of her business.

That's great! Say it with a big smile on your face!

Very elegantly!

How lively!

A-Aoki-sensei...

I was going to give this to Inaba-kun.

For me?

What is it? An English dictionary?

It's the one I use.

I thought it would help Inaba-kun with his English studies.

No, I...

It's fine.

You probably don't have the money for it, unlike an ordinary school book.

So just take it.

Everyone, don't think I'm playing favorites.

You all understand that Inaba-kun is special, don't you?

None of you are handicapped, so let's support him together!

Even Inaba-kun can do his best because everyone is here for him, right?

Bye. Good luck with your studies.

Sensei!

I'm not special, and I don't feel handicapped!

That's right! Hang in there!

I-Inaba?

Screw you!

Handicapped? Let's all support him?!

That's none of her business!

Damn it!

Calm down, master!

Your aura is fluctuating badly!

Shut up!

Damn it!

You got something!

What's this?

From Hase

Hase?

"Hey, Inaba.

Doing well?

I'm writing this in Germany, at Lichtenstein Castle.

When you touch the world's winds,

you understand how small you really are.

You should travel the world, too.

I'll be back soon with presents, so look forward to it.

From Hase."

Tch. You sure have it easy.

You have finally calmed down?

Now, then... What is this wonderful scent?

Oh, you're back.

Today, we're having grilled fall salmon with vegetables and salmon roe bowls!

It looks great!

At school, huh?

It's good to be young!
