Mao-chan, in Trouble?
Mao-chan's fever...
What should I do?!
Sorry, I forgot something.
Shin-san!
What?! What happened?!
A fever?
We should take him to the hospital.
Wait, would a human hospital be fine?
If only we could ask the principal...
Oh, that's right!
Sign: The Complete Devil Baby Dictionary - By the Principal
I got this from the principal this morning.
The Complete Devil Baby Dictionary?
Baby devils sometimes build up stress and develop a fever.
At such times...
Let them use their magic to blow off steam!
Magic...?
Come on, Mao-chan! Say "gao!"
Gao!
How are you now, Mao-chan?
I'm so glad!
...why me...
Anyway, why was Mao-chan building up stress?
I'm not sure...
Maybe because I was so depressed all day, it rubbed off on him...
Depressed?
Because Shin-san got mad at me this morning and evening...
It was my fault, though!
Ah! Um, that was...
Uh, it was nothing!
I've got to find what I forgot and go on home now, so...
Where did I put it?...
Good thing we had this book!
Huh? This isn't the book from before...
An Introduction to Raising Children for New Fathers
(For All You New Fathers!)
(How to deal with Children and Mothers)
An introduction to raising children for new fathers...?
Augh! Give that back!
Is that...?
The book he was reading when...
So what you forgot was...
...the book that you bought to help me and Mao-chan?
Ah, shut up!
There's no need to be embarrassed...
Maybe both of those times,
the reason he was so bad-tempered was...
...that he was just embarrassed?
He wasn't mad at me! What a relief!
Don't worry about me!
Keep him warm and get to sleep, will you?!
Okay...
I'm back, Honoka!
A-Aunt Rikako?!
You're with a boy?! This late at night?!
You even have a child!
What's going on?!
A-Auntie! This is all a misunderstanding!
Hmm... So Shin-kun is Kyou-kun's friend, and he's taking care of Mao-chan for a relative,
but because of his situation he can't take care of Mao at his house,
so he's been coming here every day and you've been helping him.
R-Right.
I can't tell her I'm raising a baby devil...
Well, isn't that great!
W-What?
Really?!
If he's Kyou-kun's friend, I think we can trust him.
Thank you very much!
That was a surprise, though.
You should have phoned me!
I thought I shouldn't interrupt your work, so...
I'm sorry...
Hey, Honoka...
Are you on bad terms with your aunt?
What? Of course I'm not... I like her!
She's my only family, so...
Gotcha. You were just acting kinda weird.
I was just thinking, I don't want to get in the way or make her dislike me...
I'm not very good with words...
Honoka seemed pretty passive.
"It's the job of the father to support the mother mentally," right...
All right, then!
