Well then, good night, Shion-chan.
>Good night, Hana-chan.

>Oh?

>>The lock for the entrance door seems to be broken!?

p2
>Eh?

>Eeeeeeeh?
>The lock on our door is broken!?
>That's right.

>D-D-D-D-Does that mean I have sleep every night with the door left unlocked!?
>Yeah, but...

>I'll fasten a chain, so it should be okay.
>Eeeeeeh? But, but, but, but...

>If someone bad finds out that our lock is broken...

>(An uneasy imagination)

>(A really uneasy imagination)

>EEEK! RUN FOR IT, SHION-CHAN!!
>AAAAAAAAAAAAH
>Eh?

p3
>Uuh

>Don't worry. I've called for someone to replace the lock later today.
>>I'm worried I'm worried I'm worriiiied
>But we won't have a lock until then, will we...?

>I see!

>If you're okay with me, I can act as your guard dog!
>Woof
>P-Please do!

>Leave it to me!
>You're so reliable.

>But is it really okay for us to ask you of this so suddenly?
>What if you need to leave the house or...

>go on an outing...
>An outing?
>What's that?

>Please take care of it.
>Leave it to me!

p4
>Hyeeh~

>Must be worrisome not having a lock.
>Scary.
>Uuuh. That's right. That's right.

>Shion-chan wasn't that worried, though.
>Shion-chan-san is so brave.
>She said it'd be okay since we have a chain.

>What if someone slips in through gap the chain leaves?
>Scary!!

>"I'm here to deliver your fridge~"
>A fridge won't fit through that gap!!
>They would normally ring the doorbell.

>Still, locks are pretty reliable despite how small they are.
>Reliable.

>An ordinary houselock isn't that much of a threat...
>Sachi?
>nom nom

>Fu...
>Sachi?
>Ah~~

>Erm, something, something
>something...

>Sasumatas!
>The manager has all kinds of stuff at her place!
>I-If any burglars come, we can repel them with this!
>You're so reliable, Hana-chan!

>Take that! And that! And that!
>?

>I don't think you're supposed to use it like that.
>Hah Hah Hah

>Hah Hahi Hah
>Eh?

p7
>I was sure you were supposed to jam thse into their eyes.
>Their pure and innocent eyes.

>Like this?

>I'm home...

>You sure about that?
>I sometimes have no idea
>what you're saying, Tamate-chan.

>So how do you use it?
>E-Erm.
>Like this...

>Hana-chan~
