Kujima: Why Sing, When You Can Warble? (クジマ歌えば家ほろろ)

Gone.

Gone. Gone.

Gone!

My winter break homework is gone!

Did you forget it at Grandpa and Grandma's house?

No, I thought about bringing it.

But I couldn't find it, so I brought another assignment.

I thought it would be somewhere here at home.

I must have left it at school!

The social studies teacher is someone who makes every student

who forgot their homework explain why they forgot.

So I have to hand it in no matter what!

Guess I have no choice.

I'll call my teacher and ask if I can come by the school to pick it up.

School?

You're going to school?

During winter break?

Yes. Maybe tomorrow.

What is school like?

Do you want to come with me?

"One Bad Apple Spoils the Barrel"

My teacher said he'd be there by eight.

So let's leave home after seven.

I can't button this all the way up.

I see, because your neck is thick.

Shall we leave the couple of them open at the top?

This is what Father usually wears, right?

Yeah.

If you had a suit on, maybe you'd look less suspicious outside.

So I just grabbed what was hanging.

Option 1

Plain Knot: How to tie a necktie

This isn't necessary,

but since I looked up how to tie it, let's have you wear a tie.

Done.

Then you put the jacket on.

And this is what I used for the school festival.

You see it on TV often, and everyone knows it's a mask.

So I think this is better than your face as is.

Well?

Yeah, looking good!

Rather than walking around as your normal self,

people will just assume that you're cosplaying or something.

I see.

Mom and Dad are still asleep, so let's sneak out.

Okay.

Freaky.

Since it's early, I don't think there will be a lot of people.

But just in case, we'll take a backstreet.

Right.

How much longer?

It's hard to breathe, and I can't see well.

You're looking at it already.

What?

The whole building is the school!

What?! This is it?!

This is my first time going through the faculty entrance.

Here you go, use slippers.

I'll go get the classroom key from the faculty room.

Okay.

So big.

I'm back.

Shall we go?

Yeah.

These are all classrooms.

Wow.

I'm in Class 1-3.

Wow!

You all get the same desks?

Yes. Students sit on that side,

and the teacher stands up here to teach a class.

I see.

Oh, can I take this off?

You can.

Phew.

Exciting learning

Student number 16, Kujima-san!

Tell me how to read this.

It's "grueling training," sir!

Close!

It's "exciting learning."

Duh!

I wish you could take class with me like this.

I don't want to.

Oh yeah?

I still have years of schooling in high school and college.

I'm glad I'm not a human.

I forgot I came here to pick up my workbook!

I almost went right home after messing around.

Oh, here it is!

Social Studies Fundamentals Workbook

I knew it'd be here, but I'm relieved!

Okay, we got what we came here for, so let's go home.

Yes.

I'll return the key, so wait here.

Okay!

I should put this on.

Faculty Room

What's taking Kouda so long?

He came to pick up the assignment, right?

Maybe I should check in.

Excuse me!

I'm student number 16 from Class 1-3, Kouda.

Huh? He's not here.

Class 1-3. Class 1-3.

Class 1-3. Class 1-3.

You're back.

Oh, that's not Arata.

A-A suspicious person?!

I doubt it, but...

Are you a guardian?

"Guardian"?

A parent of our students?

I need you to take that off!

I'm calling the police.

Come to the faculty room with me.

This is bad.

He's really mad, and he won't hear me out.

Hey! Come back here!

What are you...

Huh?!

He's wearing another mask underneath?

So freaky.

больно.

It hurts

Huh?

За что мне всё это?

What did I do to deserve this?

Я же не сделал ничего плохого.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Все, кто видит меня, сразу начинают...

Everyone who sees me immediately freaks out...

Как же меня это достало!!!

I'm so fed up!!!

This is getting out of hand.

All right.

Excuse me, sir? Is everything okay?

Kouda! Stay back!

There's a suspicious guy here, so head back the way you came!

Hurry!

Sir?

Huh?

I don't see... the person you are referring to.

What?

No, he's right there.

He's gone? Where did he go?!

Before I spoke to you, you were talking to yourself.

What?

I returned the key to the faculty room, so I'll be leaving now.

Thank you for coming in today.

Huh?

Y-Yeah. Take care.

I'm glad it worked.

Good thing you got away quickly.

That was scary.
