<Ch. 29 “Takahashi Tetsuo Wants to Provide Help”>

Oh, Tetsu-sensei
Perfect timing
Oh?

We’re playin’ soccer after school, but we’re short on people
Think you could man the goal for us?
No
I
won’t
Just what do think the faculty are to you?

In any case, I’m out for today
I gotta get this ultimate plan to spend a comfortable summer to Yuki and Hikari today and…


#P.2
Wuuuut
Agaaain?
Huh?

You’ve really become the Demi-chan teacher these days
Huh?
R-Really?

Yeah man!
*bam bam bam*
The only person those guys talk about their bodies is you, Tetsu-sensei!
*You lady killer you*

I am, huh…?

It’s
true


#P.3
Oh
Vice Principal
<How do you do>

Takahashi-sensei, I’m very thankful that you’re there to provide counseling to the Ajin students,
But it is somewhat of a problem to have you invested too much into the matter

I must ask you to also provide proper attention to other, non-Ajin students as well
Y-
Yes sir…

…
*Irritated*


#P.4
Nah
I think Tetsu-sensei gives attention to the other guys all the same
…sir

…Then why do the Ajin students only rely on Takahashi-sensei?

?
That’s ‘cause…
Uhm…

…
…

?
*Why is that?*
…
…

…You’re simply doing too much, Takahashi-sensei
If you were to restrain yourself in that regard
It would allow the Ajin students to naturally begin seeking others to ask for advice


#P.5
…
You…
May be right…

Would it not be more natural to resolve issues that way?
Of course, the process may be slower than if they were to talk to you, given your expertise, but…

…
…


#P.6
Hooyah!
*bam*

Well
I can understand what the Vice Principal was saying
Hmmm?

Takahashi-sensei isn’t the only teacher around, right?　Then it would be better if they have more people they could count on
Haha

…

…So you think that’s how it would turn out if Tetsu-sensei didn’t try so hard?
Yeah, I guess so?
*According to the VP anyway*


#P.7
<Satake-kun…
Please…
Satake… Satake-kuuun!>

…I wonder if they’ll ask us for help ’n stuff too…
Not sure if they’d ask you, Satake…

*…wwhhoooooooom…*
Oh
Huh?

*smash*
Doof!

Sorry
Was just tryin’ to give a pass


#P.8
Huuuh
So that’s what happened
To think about it, they haven’t asked me for advice either
Yeah, obviously
You’d be like the last person they’d ever count o-

Uhh?
N-… Never mind…

…But hey
I wonder what it is that Demi-chans ask advice about?
I mean, the “Ajin” aren’t all that different from ordinary people, right?

Kusakabe and Takanashi did say they weren’t good at dealing with hot weather…
<…this ultimate plan to spend a comfortable summer…>
Is that really something they have to rely on Takahashi-sensei every time though?
Hmmm…

Hey, you know, maybe since Takanashi’s always drinking tomato juice…


#P.9
She’s askin’ him about good tomato juice brands n’ stuff
You can check that stuff on the Internet, doofus

*squirt*
…
Who the hell trusts reviews on the Internet!
Aw shut up!

…

<It’s okay because everyone else does it…>
<I hate that logic>
<I promised with my sister>
<I had troubles dealing with the fact>
<that I’m a Demi>

Hey…


#P.10
Do you think it’s right
to think of Demis…
as the same kind of people that we are…?

What?
Hey, hold on
*That’s a bit…*
…

…You sayin’ they’re different than us?
That’s what you call discrimination!
…
Is it…?


#P.11
A second ago
You said Ajins “aren’t all that different” from ordinary people
but that also means “there are things that ARE different”, isn’t it?
So I thought, maybe we’re supposed to understand the things different about them too

!
!
!

Maybe, saying “we’re all the same” without thinking about that difference
is even more like discrimination to them

I think
that with Takahashi
he has that part down pretty solid
So that’s probably what makes him easier for them to ask him about stuff


#P.12
I mean, look at us
Would they want to talk about things that only Demis have to worry about
to people who blindly think “we’re all the same”?
That kinda scary, right?
You’ll need some courage for that

Maybe they want to
ask people for things
or talk about Ajins without having that baggage over their heads

And maybe
we don’t really know anything about them yet…
…

…
…and that
was just something I thought. That’s all

*squirt*
…
Yeah, maybe…


#P.13
!
Hey wait
Then that would mean…

The reason why the Demi-chans only talk to Takahashi…

…
Isn’t because Tetsu-sensei’s doin’ too much, it’s…
…

…
Yo, you’re…

actually thinking about stuff, huh
Yeah, seriously
Never would’ve guessed
Do you all want a beat down?


#P.14
…
Well

I guess I never would’ve thought about this stuff
if we didn’t have any Demi-chans around in the first place

…
*squirt*
Guess so…

…Maybe I’ll ask Tetsu-sensei
about that kind of stuff
Right

But maybe Sensei’s stuck worried about it in a weird way too?
Nah
Tetsu-sensei’s like, rock solid on that kind of thing
…

…
You never know


#P.15
Sometimes
Being solid about things can make it even more complicated

<Guideline for Vampires and Snow Women to Spend a Comfortable Summer>

<…>
…
<Doing too much…>


#P.16
Senseeeei!
!

Heeeeeeeey!

…
Oh?
Hey…

*gyaaaa*
Have you thought of our summer lifestyle plan?
Would it be okay if I listen in too?


#P.17
!
Oh
Yeah…

…
Um
You see…
Uh…
…

…--


#P.17
--…Sorry
Next time…
All right?

?


#P.18
…And that’s what happened
…
Uh-huuuh

Okay!
I’ll try doing something on my end too!
Thanks, Satakkey!

…
“Satakkey”…

What the hell was that? A nickname?!
I sound like a monster or something
Right?!
Ah…
Yeah…
