Student Assembly
Umm, I’m introducing a new student today.
It is a pleasure to meet you, students of Mitokita High.
My name is Batsu.
My hobby is putting things in order.
I enjoy things that are in order.
My special skills are torture... and putting things in order.
Have you heard tales of monsters
Or things that cannot possibly be the work of man?
(Did she just say torture?)
(She doesn’t look like she’s in high school)
Every problem has a solution.
Uuugh. Don’t just start talking about that stuff. Everyone’s gonna think you’re nuts.
If you encounter anything of the sort, please go to class 1-3...

02
And request the help of Takuro Tsukumo.
Aaaand now everyone’s gonna think *I’m* nuts.
Page 5: Everyday Training
Why would you do that, you workaholic moron...
Making that announcement was the reason I came to this school.
You have it easy, merely being the one to take requests.
I cannot simply sit back and enjoy life at school.
Master Batsu, attend school?

03
Master Batsu has been in constant battle ever since her father was killed.
So I can understand your desire to create an everyday life for her to be at east.
So do what you can, Takuanus.
Why’d you crap on me!?
Because I don’t like you.
And... Master Batsu must learn about human society.
The one who killed her father was a human, after all.
What’s your last name, Batsu?
I do not have that concept.
Are there even countries like that?
(She’s sitting next to me.)
Is it okay for her to be wearing that uniform at her age?
Hey Takuan, I found one of these flyers.
1-3: Shota Tennouji
Plus there was that whole thing at the assembly. Do you and Batsu know each other or something?
...A bunch of stuff happened.
A bunch of stuff!?

04
You just looked so satisfied... Do you know each other *that* way!?
What kind of dirty stuff did you get to do to that tiny body!? I’m so jealous!
Nothing! And aren’t you into huge boobs anyway!? Batsu’s got nothing for you!
Well what’re *you* into!?
A... ankles.
Ankles!?
Wa!!
Arrows: dust cloth
You’re filthy.
(Those gazes.)
Dirty, dirty!
*rub rub*
M—me too!?
You too.
Batsu, I’m the class president.
Feel free to ask me anything.

05
Nice to meet you.
...Is my hand that dirty?
Ayame’s just a super germophobe. She’s like that with everyone.
(Don’t worry about it.)
Hey Batsu, are you free today? You wanna go somewhere?
You’re right. She’s just talking to me like nothing happened.
(And spraying my desk.)
I am truly sorry, but I have business to attend to today, so I cannot accept your offer.
Business?
She’s... never gonna get used to everyday life like this.
Alright, then...
F...

06
First round of everyday training!
The Batsu Welcoming Party!
We’ll go bowling at Bound 1 after school.
Huh?
If you win, you clear the training!
No... I have to patrol...
Rui can just fly around the city.
*Shbbt*
Stop shitting on me!!
I have to do minion training,
So you have to do everyday training to balance it out!

07
A disturbance in the balance will be a disturbance in the order.
I accept this everyday training!
Is that even something you can train for?
(Even me.)
Now... let us begin.
Those clothes look kinda dirty, Batsu.
(Dirty, dirty.)
Ayame, stop rubbing our balls.
Hey, we should have some kind of punishment for the loser.

08
This training is a true battle between me and you.
And it shall carry with it the sin of losing a battle...
Sins must be punished!
If I lose, I shall accept whatever punishment you desire to give me!
Wait, seriously!?
I can bear even the tortures of Hell.
Batsu, hold on a moment.
He’s just going to ask you to do something perverted.
I... I understand. Then...
Write whatever punishment you wish to give me should you win on these cards.
But...

09
If I win, then these punishments will be given to *you* in order to keep the balance.
Think this over well.
Batsu punishes me if I lose?
Sounds like I win either way!
Yeah, there’s people like that too.
Are you making light of the punishment of Enma?
Are you making light of my true power?
Every year in Hell, the Bowling of the Damned is held with the dead as pins.
And in the Bowling of the Damned, the goal is not simply to knock down those pins.

10
To earn a strike, you must scatter their very entrails.

11
Wh—what just happened!?
Now then, I do not know what you wrote,
(Did she just break the pins?)
But I eagerly await punishing you.
Hee hee hee hee hee...
I, uh, don’t know what’s going on,
But I’m all excited now.
Let’s do thiiiiis!
What the hell did you write!?
Whoops!
And you suck!
There!
You suck too!
(Why are you using both hands!?)

12
I almost never go bowling!
And if you’re so bad, why’d you suggest punishment!?
You know me. I always pull through when facing the greatest odds.
That doesn’t sound cool at all!
This isn’t even gonna be a contest...
Strike.
The feeling of defeat is so filthy, isn’t it?
I hate it.
So cool!!
I (shall not) / (won’t) lose.
I, er, gotta go to the bathroom.
(Emergency.)

13
Huh... Tennouji’s been doing pretty good since he went to the bathroom, hasn’t he?
(Was he holding back?)
Guys?
What do you like to eat, Batsu?
Iron.
That’s not a food.
Whoa, another strike!?
(That’s five in a row!)
The hell’s going on...
Wait... isn’t this his ball?
Hey, whose ball did you just use?
Takuan...

14
Stay out of my way.
Demon: Kubinagi (Long Neck)
You—
When was he possessed!?
Eeeeekk!!

15
Now I can
Win the match
With Batsu,
Ehehehe...
P—President!
Shota Tennouji.
Your malice...
Your twisted desire for victory...
Makes you guilty of the sin of demonic possession.
No matter how small, a sin is a sin,
And sin must be punished.

16
Repent in the Bowling of the Damned.
Waaaaahhhh!!

17
It seems... I am in first.
It was a good match, President Ayame.
(I lost by one point...)
One more round?
(A revenge match.)
Sorry, I’m outta money.
(I really suck, don’t I.)
But I feel like... I saw something really weird.
Maybe it was a dream.
(I think I fainted...)
Something dirty... and long and veiny...
Ju... just a dream
Hee hee hee hee...
Now do see what punishments you wrote...

18
Batsu,
You look really busy, but let’s play again some time.
Ayame

Let’s play again!
Also... would a kiss... be too much to ask for?
Tennouji

Let’s play again some time.
I’ll lose.
Tsukumo

I’ll beat you next time, Batsu.
(I can’t hold back against dirty things.)
We’re leaving, Tennouji. Wake up.
Ugh...
Regarding these...
Punishments...
Tsukumo, Tennouji, Ayame.

19
Very well.
We will play again.
(First time I’ve seen her smile normally.)
Alright, let’s get something to eat.
What do you like, Batsu?
Iron.
Shbbt
Goddamnit Rui!
And that was how Batsu slowly started to get her own everyday life.
Takuan and Batsu’s Daily Demon Diary ... Page 5 / END
Next time, the official court of Hell is finally in session!! And a strange boy comes to the office...
