Coin-Operated Laundry
This is a coin-operated laundry.
No doubt about it, this is a coin-operated laundry.
So then, how come...
Why the hell are you here, Sensei?!
Second Period
Sato, are you sheltering from the rain, too?
Y-yeah...
On my way home from school, it just started suddenly raining.
And now I'm soaking wet.
Y-you do seem to be drenched.
Seeing as there are dryers here, why not dry your clothes?
Huh?!
These are the only clothes I've got. Are you telling me to get naked?!
N-no!
How terrifying!
Being able to give off an intimidating air even while wearing see-through clothing...
That's "Kojima the Demon" for you!
M-my clothes aren't that wet, and I'd be happy to lend them to you.
Wh-what? Are you sure?
If she stays dressed that way, I'll end up unintentionally peeking and put my life in danger...
That's what I was thinking, but...
Well, thank you, Sato.
Now I'm really gonna have a hard time averting my eyes!
Seems the rain's not stopping, huh?
W-well, it's a storm that suddenly rose up, so suspect it'll die down soon.
Sudden storms are often accompanied by thunder, so they're no fun, huh, Sensei?
Hey, now!
Are you, by chance, scared of thunder?
H-huh?! No way!
I'm a teacher, you know?! The idea I could be so childish-
Sorry... I actually am scared of it.
I-I can see that!
Now, please get off of me!
Did that lightning just now knock the power out?
And that must mean...
I knew it! The dryer stopped working.
I can't go home like this!
Well, let's try searching for the circuit breaker!
Isn't that it?
Sure is high up there...
And there doesn't seem to be anything we can use as a step stool...
Ponk
Ah, I know!
How's it going?
I can almost reach it!
It's been a while since I've hoisted someone onto my shoulders...
More than physically, I don't think I can hold out mentally!
S-still haven't got it, Sensei?
Almost there....
Hold-!
M-my bad...
It's alright.
This feels slimy... Is it laundry detergent?
S-seems so...
Anyhow, let me try standing up again.
I'm gonna lift up your lower back a bit now.
Okay.
Hup!
Hey, now!
Uh-oh!
I'm sorry!
W-wait! Don't pull on that! The button's will...!
I... just grabbed Kojima's breasts...
They're so soft...
No, stop! Don't think about them!
Hey, now!
W-wait... Sato...
Really...
now...
stop!
Good grief...
I'm sorry about that.
Still, what are we gonna do about the circuit breaker, anyway?
I may have somehow escaped being killed,
but what was with her voice being so seductive a moment ago?
Cool it, my son!
Oh, that's it!
This time, I'll put you on my shoulders!
No, that won't do.
Don't underestimate me! I can lift the likes of you, you know!
That's not the issue! Now's not a good time for me!
Hup!
S-Sato...
Something is,
uh... poking the back of my head...
The storm wasn't the only thing that suddenly rose up...
Just kid-
What're you doing thrusting that thing against me, you idiot?!
I'M SORRY!

Why the hell are you here?
This is my mother's family home.
No doubt about it, this is my mother's family home.
So then, why...
is this happening?!
My mom asked you to babysit?!
Yeah. I'm also from this area, and Saki-san really helped me out in the past.
Besides, I was already back here visiting home over summer break,
so I had no reason to say no, right?
Sensei, I had no idea that you and my mom know each other.
I mean, are you even capable of taking care of a small child in the first place?
O-of course I can!
W-well, my intimidating aura can even hush crying kids,
so just watch my babysitting techniques!
"Babysitting techniques," huh?
Look, come on over here to "Big Sister."
She's crying like it's the end of the world...
To tell the truth, this is how it's been going for a while now.
Whenever I come near her, she starts crying immediately...
despite wanting small kids to like me!
Yeah?
In fact, earlier today my parents told me to hurry up and
get married and give them some grandkids.
But, the reality is that, the way things stand...
when I do have a baby, it's gonna be pretty tough, right?
Marriage, huh?
Sensei, you're the earnest sort,
so I imagine you have high standards when it comes to a partner.
Not really. They're pretty ordinary.
Someone who's younger, good at caring for people, and who's liked by children.
Those three things are all I've ever asked for.
"Someone who's younger...
Someone who's younger
good at caring for people...
Good at caring for people
Who's liked by children
and who's liked by children."
Huh?
S-Sato, I didn't mean you!
In the first place, we're teacher and student, right?!
Right you are! I know, okay?!
Oh, right! How about we play with her in the water out in the yard?
Shio likes splashing about, so she'll take a liking to you in no time!
O-oh, I see!
Well, guess I'll head to my parents' house and grab my bathing suit!
O-okay! I'll get everything ready in the meantime!
Ah... It's kinda nice to take a dip like this once in a while.
Sure you're okay not coming in yourself, Sato?
Yeah. I'm fine.
Or rather, if I get in there together with you, it could turn out badly...
To think Kojima would wear such a risque bathing suit!
Hey, now!
Don't stare at me like that...
All I had at my parents' place was a bathing suit from my school days.
Ba-dump
Wait, why is my heart pounding?!
Don't forget this is "Kojima the Demon"!
Even so...
Oh, you're giggling now, huh?!
Today, Kojima seems different from her usual self...
Look! Look! Today, Kojima seems different from her usual self...
I wonder if this is how Kojima is when she's off work...
If that's the case...!
Hey, now!
What are you doing, Baby Sister?!
Look out!
S-sorry!
Th-that was my bad!
Hey, now!
WHAT?!
Hey, now!
I'll pull her off right away!
No, it's fine to let her be.
Why?!
The fact that she's suckling my breast
means that she sees me as a maternal figure.
That makes me happy, you know?
It means I have what it takes to be a mother.
Now I just need to find a partner!
"P-partner"?!
I-I don't mean you!
I-I know that!
Oh, Kana, thank you for today.
Don't mention it. I had a good time.
Come to think of it, I heard your folks told you to hurry up and get married.
If you're looking for a partner, my son's all yours! He's your type, right?
You look pretty sleepy. S-Saki-san, what're you...?!
Well, it's time to eat, so go and call your future husband!
Just kidding!
Please don't tease me like that.
Good grief...
We're teacher and student, you know!
Even so...
Ah, that was just an accident!
That doesn't count!
I-in the first place, they say these days there are people who casually kiss their friends!
Th-that's right! So long as we don't cross the line-
There, I've laid out the futon. Th-that's right! So long as we don't cross the line-
There, I've laid out the futon.
Let's hurry and go to bed.
Wh-wh-wha...?
Sensei?
You idiot!
Huh?
Can't you at least wait until you graduate, idiot?!
Whaddya mean?!
