A Fire-Breathing Baby
Look at him drinking away.
So cute!
Dropping off as soon as his stomach's full.
Babies look like angels when they smile.
But what was that earlier on?
He breathed fire.
Maybe he's not just a normal baby?
Oh! Maybe I should ask Kyou-chan about it.
How about it, you two? She ticks all the boxes, doesn't she?
I suppose so...
I'm just not sure she has the right sort of personality.
But you're not going to find many people who are such a perfect fit.
If you let this one go, there's no telling when another one will appear.
Well, he seems to like her. I guess it's fine.
Take care, little one.
Make sure she takes care of you.
Hey, Honoka-chan! I'm here.
Kyou-chan! I've been waiting for you!
That's my childhood friend, Kyou-chan.
He's like a gentle, supportive older brother.
Did something happen? You just said you had something to tell me.
You'd better come in first.
Y-Yeah, sure. Though... he came along, too.
You shouldn't skip school!
That's Kyou-chan's friend, Shin-san.
He gets mad really easily. It's scary, so I'm not very good around him.
You woke up to find a baby in your bed?
Y-Yeah...
Quit telling lies!
I-It's true...
As if that would happen!
Give us more details!
I've told you all I know...
Also... he's a little bit strange.
Strange?
What do you mean?!
I don't really know...
I know even less!
But...
Pull yourself together!
But...
W-What was that?!
A fire-breathing baby?
Yeah...
He did it earlier, too. He roared and everything.
That's pretty dangerous...
How about we examine him a little?
Take off his clothes and stuff.
Examine...?
Don't you want to know how he can breathe fire?!
He looks awfully happy.
What are those?
Those black things on his head, and that thing that looks like a tail.
I figured it was an accessory or something.
An accessory?
It looks like they're actually growing out of him...
Mao-chan!
Right!
Baby goes up! Baby comes down.
Baby goes up!
Stop it!
Don't be so rough with him!
You're scaring him!
It's okay, Mao-chan.
There there.
Kyou-chan?! What's wrong?
Did you figure something out, Kyou?
That's right!
The anime "Pudding in Love" is about to start!
Anime?
I've been watching it every week.
Honoka-chan, I'm going now!
Shin, I'll leave the rest to you!
Wait up, Kyou! You've got to be kidding me!
Don't go, Kyou-chan!
Shin-san's scary!
That's really rude!
Kyou!
Wait! Kyou-chan!
Hey! Don't just run off!
He really went home.
I don't believe this...
Kyou-chan...
You left the door open!
I was panicking!
That's dangerous!
What if the baby gets out?
Right!
He's gone!
M-Mao-chan?
