Chapter 35
Chika stood on the back, silently watching the daycare staff breaking the news to the children. She counted at least 10 children present in the room. The oldest child, a girl with short pink hair, is glaring at them. The rest of the children doesn't seem all too bothered about it though. Heck, they came running at them. No wariness. No distrust. No second thought. They just want to play.
A little boy quickly latches onto Kanzaki-san. She smiled and hold him back. (In the background, Sugino-san is seething with jealousy). Kayano-san picks up a little boy with ease. A girl with pigtails approached Hara-san. Another girl already drag Okuda-san away to play.
Three girls eyes Hazama-san in wariness. She eyes them back with as much wariness. "Really, how did we end up with collective responsibility?" She asked to no one in particular. One girl grabbed her curly hair as the others commented that Hazama-san looks like a witch.
"...This is sad... And I'm seriously getting bitten here," Terasaka said. He made no attempt to stop a boy from biting his neck.
"We all got a sticky slap on the face too," Hara-san told them, pointing to her right cheek. "He said he has to treat us all equally to keep things fair." Earlier this morning Koro-sensei come up to them to explain the situation. Afterward he give them a sticky slap. He just pressed his tentacle against their cheeks though. Koro-sensei kept apologising.
"Sorry about this," Okajima hung his head low. He is the catalyst for this situation. He's the one who suggested the idea to train in public space.
"It's okay. We should have realised someone could get hurt," Kanzaki-san said to him kindly.
Muramatsu, Yoshida and Horibe-san are seated on the floor, each with a child clinging to them. Hazama-san glanced at them. "You're right. I guess I'm responsible as the supervisor and trainer for this circus group." ("Hey!" Muramatsu and Yoshida glares at her).
"Well... We can study secretly at home...," Takebayashi-kun said. "Two weeks of unpaid work as a condition for keeping Class E's secret? A small price to pay for that bounty." He said knowingly. Those words would sound cooler if Takebayashi-kun have his pants on though. Two boys pulled down his pants in the middle of his speech. Lots of energetic kids here.
A little girl no older than 3 latches onto her leg. Chika looked down at the child. She has short, light brown hair and eyes. Chika crouched down to meet her eye level. "Hello."
"Blue!" The little girl touches her blue hair. Chika nodded. She let the little girl play with her hair.
The pink haired girl picks up a broom. Shiota-san held up his hands to defend himself when she swing it at him. But then the floor gives away, causing her to fell. Is this building really safe? Chika noticed the cracks on the wall and the slipping roof earlier before they entered.
Isogai-san shares her concern. He asked one of the staffs, Hikari-san. She smiled sadly. "We don't have the money to make any reparations. Our principal charges very little to take in those in waitlist, truant child or children not attending primary school. He can't even hire enough staff, so he works the hardest."
Those present in the accident fell into silence. Chika can see the guilt in their eyes. Shiota-san pulled up the pink haired girl from the floor.
"29 people for two weeks, huh? Don't you think we can get a lot done?" Maehara-san asked the group.
"We sure can!" Hara-san smiled.
"All right guys," Isogai-san stepped up. "We'll split up the duties and work in Munakata-san's stead! First, a strategy meeting!"
"Yeah!"
They move the children to the playroom first before moving to the study section (It's just one big room with a curtain in the middle). There are more tables there that they can use. The boys move the tables together before they all sit down.
"Now then... What really concerns me is the state of this building. It's simply not safe for the children. If we left it as it is, more serious accidents will happen in the future. Someone could get seriously injured," Isogai-san said grimly. He have two younger siblings of his own. Seeing the children here may have reminds him of them. "How about this? We will split to two groups. One group will repair the building and one group will look after the kids."
"I'll be in the repair group," Chiba-san volunteered. "I'll draw up the blueprint. Let's have Ritsu scan the building first in order to calculate how much reparation needed to be done."
"What about the materials?" Hayami-san asked.
"We can use lumber from our mountain." Chika suggests. "They cut down the trees periodically. The next schedule for the thinning will be in three days. We can ask them to donate the woods to us instead of discarding it. For other materials, we can ask the Department of Defence. We are technically doing this for the sake of assa- Our mission." She quickly correct her words, in case some kids are eavesdropping. It will be bad if they start saying 'kill' or 'assassination' around the adults.
Others are considering her suggestion.
Kimura-san raises his hand. "Maybe we can build an indoor playground while we're at it!"
"And a library!" Yada-san joined in.
"A room for the staff and a garage next to it!" Mimura-san suggested.
"Yes, yes. Don't get ahead of ourselves now!" Kataoka-san clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "What about the babysitting team?"
"Since there are waitlisted and truant children here, we could tutor them." Now it's Takebayashi-kun's turn to make a suggestion. "For the younger kids, we can be their playmates. Though we have to prepare entertainment to keep them occupied. Otherwise they might get mischievous and interfere with the repair team's work."
Since there will be construction to be done, it would be disastrous if a child got in the way...
"Hm... This project might get bigger than we first thought. Well, let's wait for Ritsu's calculation first so we will know what we need. You'll be in charge for the reparation, Chiba-kun," Isogai-san nodded at Chiba-san. "We can switch duties later on. For now, who wants to be in which group?"
A few minutes later, Kataoka-san draw a list.
Reparation Team: Chiba-san, Isogai-san, Sugino-san, Sugaya-san, Muramatsu, Yoshida, Terasaka, Kimura-san, Okajima, Maehara-san, Kataoka-san, Okano-san, Ritsu, Mimura-san
Babysitting Team: Hara-san, Kayano-san, Takebayashi-kun, Shiota-san, Nakamura-san, Okuda-san, Akabane-san, Kurahashi-san, Fuwa-san, Yada-san, Horibe-san, Hazama-san, Hayami-san, Kanzaki-san.
Chika wanted to be in the reparation team but she lacks any muscles or skills for it. So in the end, she joined the babysitting team. Well, they can switch later on...
Chiba-san inspects the entire building with a phone in his hand. He have Ritsu scanning every nook and cranny. He also have Isogai-san in tow. You can spot them discussing this and that. Maehara-san and Okajima are cleaning the yard. Kimura-san and Yoshida are taking out the trash. Hara-san, Shiota-san, Nakamura-san and Takebayashi-kun volunteered to tutor the older kids. Sugaya-san stopped a kid from drawing on the wall. Turns out they are out of colouring books. Sugaya-san lend the child his sketchbook and now more kids have joined them. Sugino-san is playing catch with a boy outside. Kayano-san and Kanzaki-san are playing with the little girls. Chika spotted Akabane-san whispering to a kid. Judging from the devious grins on their faces... No. Chika don't want to know.
Terasaka's group minus Hazama-san are in the middle of a wrestling match with the boys. No, of course Terasaka won't go all out against a kid. Hazama-san is supervising them, making sure no one gets out the line. Fuwa-san and Yada-san read out loud story books for the younger kids. Chika almost joined them but opted out when the kids demanded that they make noises according to the books. Chika knows her delivery will be as flat as they can be. She'll bore the kids to death. Everyone else have something to do... Except her.
So when Hikari-san asked for her help in the nursery, Chika said yes.
"Thank you so much for your help, Oichi-san! You and your classmates are a big help!" Hikari-san said gratefully as they prepare the blankets for nap time. "Usually it's just the three of us. Me, Principal Munakata and Maki-san. Principal Munakata is in the hospital and Maki-san currently recovering from a cold...," She sighed tiredly. "Don't get me wrong. They are great kids but the thought of taking care of them on my own scares me."
"Mm," Chika have witnessed how rambunctious some of the kids are. "I'd like to apologise to you once again for the trouble...," She bows down her head.
Hikari-san smiled wider. "It's okay, Oichi-san! Your class even volunteered to fix this building. You done so much already."
The two stopped talking when they heard a gurgle coming from the crib. Hikari-san went to check. Chika watch her pick up the baby. The only baby in Wakaba Nursery. "Ara! Ta-chan is awake~" Hikari-san cooed at the baby. Chika was once a baby like Ta-chan. "Oichi-san, would you like to hold him?"
What
"...Okay..." Chika got up and walk closer. Hikari-san handed the baby to her, instructing her to support his head and neck. Chika hold him stiffly. This is her first time holding a baby. The way Hikari-san smiled at her, she must be doing it right. But... This is a baby. A baby! A living, breathing person! She can't drop him.
Chika looks down at the baby in her arms. Tatsuya, better known as Ta-chan, is a handsome baby boy with black locks and red cheeks. He blinked at her. Um... What did Toshiko-nee say? Peek-a-boo? But her hands are full here. Make faces? That's her weakness! Ta-chan tilts his head. Chika mirrored his tilt. He blinked at her again. Chika blinked at him. Ta-chan stick out his tongue. She did not move for a few seconds before she stuck out her tongue as well. That got him to laugh.
She died a little inside.
So cute!

Dear Diary,
Today is full of surprises.
Class E went to Wakaba Nursery today. It is a daycare run by Munakata-san, the man we accidentally injured during our stunt. Chika and a few others were not there but this is collective responsibility so... Chika's first impression of Wakaba Nursery is not good. The building is so run down it got to the point of safety hazard. Chika is amazed that the parents or health inspector didn't notice any of this.
We split up to two groups. One group will oversee the reparation of the nursery building. The other will help the staff look after the children. Today Chika looked after Ta-chan, the only baby in the daycare. He is so cute! Today Chika learned a lot about how to take care of a baby. How to change their diaper, prepare milk and baby food, how to make them burp and so on.
Tomorrow we will fix the holes/cracks and reinforce the floor. Isogai-san, Chiba-san, Kataoka-san and I will drop by at school first. We need to check on the forest thinking to estimate how much wood we'll need. Chiba-san is consulting to Ukai-san about the blueprint. In case you forgot, Ukai-san is one of Karasuma-sensei's subordinate. He's a licensed architect.
The babysitting group will put on a show tomorrow. The classic hero knight-saved-a-kingdom-from-a-monster story. Akabane-san will be the hero, Kayano-san the princess, Terasaka will play the monster and Okuda-san as the mage. The Department of Defence will drop by the tools and other materials we'll need for the construction.
That's all for now, Diary. Chika need to study. The second mid term exams is on its way.
September XX 20XX
Dear Diary,
As I told you yesterday, Chika went to school first to oversee the forest thinning. The wood will be transported to Wakaba Nursery tomorrow. We didn't encounter any trouble at the main building. The administration easily gave us permission to donate the lumber and scrap woods. It went smoothly. Our group didn't encounter anyone (since everyone is still in class) so that's good. It will be hard to explain if we met Asano-san today. Chika don't doubt that he'll hear about the donation.
Chiba-san includes all our suggestion in his blue prints. That means the children will get a new playground and library. The staff will get a bigger office and garage. Yoshida volunteered to repair Munakata-san's bike. It gave Horibe-san the idea to include electric battery to make cycling easier. This in turn give Chiba-san the inspiration to use the playground to recharge the battery. Those three plus Ritsu are still discussing it.
Today Chika mostly help Hikari-san cleaning and looking after Ta-chan. Ta-chan is a very easy baby to take care of. He's not fussy at all. While Ta-chan is napping, Chika take a look at Wakaba's expenses. Don't worry, Diary. Chika asked permission first of course. Chika found that Hikari-san wasn't kidding when she said Munakata-san charges very little... Chika ended up consulting to Isogai-san about it. We later included Hara-san and Muramatsu, since they are in charge of the kitchen. Wakaba Nursery also serves lunch and snacks for the children.
Today's lunch and snack are stew and apple rabbits respectively. Chika helped cutting the vegetables.
The reparation team fixed the holes on the paper screens. We also got cement, sand, and tools. Ritsu showed us the steps to fix the cracks. Sugaya-san picked it up the fastest. We repainted the walls together afterwards. The babysitting group took the kids outside during the painting job. Since they will start to play around and create a bigger mess. The paint is safe for the children of course. We are going to paint the second coat tomorrow.
The play was a great success. Okuda-san defeated the 'monster' by putting him to sleep. Literally. She had Terasaka inhale chloroform, thus knocking him out. Muramatsu have to drag his unconscious form off the stage. Poor Terasaka. The kids really likes it though. They are going to perform the sequel tomorrow.
Kimura-san rescued a cat stuck on a tree. The kids was so shocked seeing Okajima giving a boost like Isogai-san did at the boutaoshi match.
Time for Chika to study, Diary. See you tomorrow.
September XX 20XX
Dear Diary,
The lumber is finally here! Now we can start the construction!
First we reinforced the floors. It doesn't take long. They even finished it before nap time! Secondly, we make the pillars to support the old building. Chiba-san was really busy. He keep running here and there to check everything. We get the children out so the reparation team can work.
During the play, Akabane-san drop on Terasaka. Things got worse for him when Akabane-san invited the kids to dog pile on him. Terasaka quits the play right there and went to join the reparation team.
Kanzaki-san taught them how to make flower garlands. Sugino-san tripped when he spotted the girls put it on Kanzaki-san. Chika snapped a picture of Kanzaki-san. Sugino-san will surely love it. Horibe-san lent (already repaired) Itona 1 to the boys. They love it. Okuda-san joined the tutoring. Kurahashi-san found a cocoon about to break its chrysalis. The children ended up watching a butterfly coming out.
Nakamura-san taught the kids a couple of children songs in English. Twinkle Little Star, ABC, something like that. Kataoka-san and Yada-san play house with the girls. Kataoka-san played Papa and Yada-san played Mama. Chika noticed how happy Yada-san is when she called Kataoka-san 'darling'. The game got so messy when two girls start to fight over 'Papa's attention. Chika got dubbed as the neighbour who is forced to raise her child alone since her husband is a workaholic. Chika really hope her future won't turn like that. Yada-san ended the game right there when a girl gossiped that Chika's 'husband' is not Ta-chan's biological father. Scandalous!
Chika really wonder where these kids learn about that kind of thing.
Today's lunch is gyoza. The snack is chocolate chip cookies.
After the kids were picked up by their parents, the babysitting team put on the second coat on the paint. We made progress with the reparation.
Chika is going to study now. Good night, Diary.
"Oichi-san~" Kayano-san's head poked in. "Are you busy?"
Chika looked up from her current work, washing the dishes. Maki-san, the second staff, have recovered from her cold. She is watching over Ta-chan at the moment. She won't like. Chika missed the sweet baby already. Strange how fast you got attached to someone. It's kind of scary. "No," Chika shakes head. "I'm just finished here." She put the last of the now clean dish. "Can I help you with something?"
"The girls are going to play hairstylist! Do you want to join?" Kayano-san asked excitedly.
It's not like Chika have anything to do, so she nodded. "Who else is participating?"
"Everyone!" The green haired girl smiled widely. "It will be a girls only activity. Even Hazama-san is joining!"
That's surprising. Chika clearly remembers how Hazama-san sit a bit farther away from the girls back at the inn. That was... What? May? 4 months ago? 5 months? Chika followed Kayano-san to the playroom. The boys have retreated to the other side of the room. There are hairbands and ribbons on the floor. As well as hairpins and barrettes.
Nana, the little girl who approached her first days ago, noticed her. "Chika-nee!" She run up to her. So cute! Is this what Toshiko-nee felt when Chika was her age?
"Hello, Nana." Chika hold her hand. They joined the group. When she sits down, Nana start to grab her hair.
"Blue!" She smiled widely at her.
"That's right! Chika-chan's hair is so blue! Like blueberry!" Kurahashi-san said cheerily.
"Blueberry!" Nana repeated. If she could, Chika would squee.
Kayano-san got up behind her. "Oichi-san, is it okay if I undone your bun?" She asked politely. Chika nodded. Kayano-san grins and start to undo her bun. As soon as it is undone, her dark blue hair fell on the floor. Since she's sitting, Chika's hair actually pooled on the floor. The younger girls gasped in shock.
"Chika-nee! Your hair is so long!" Ringo, a girl with dark red hair tied to two pigtails, stared at her hair with wide eyes.
"And soft!" Ami, a girl with high ponytail, start to stroke her hair.
"Like a princess!" Eiko, a girl with high pigtails, grins.
Nakamura-san and Kayano-san exchanged a look. "I guess we now have our primary target~" Nakamura-san teased Chika. "So girls, what kind of hairstyle do you think would look good on Chika-nee?"
They are immediately bombarded by suggestions.
Rin, a girl who have her bangs tied, raise her hand high. "Twin tails! Like Kaede-neechan an Nagisa-niichan!"
Kayano-san beamed. "Twin tails it is! Rin-chan, do you want to brush Chika-nee's hair while I work on this side!"
"Yes~" Rin picked up a brush and start to brush Chika's hair. Chika wonder when was the last time anyone besides Toshiko-nee style her hair. She couldn't remember. Their mother was too busy to do anything like this with them.
Nana flopped on her lap. "Chika-nee, can you style Nana's hair too?" She looked at her with her big pink eyes. If this is an anime or manga, Chika would've melted right there. The cuteness won't stop killing her!
"Yes," Chika picks up a smaller brush. If this is what it feels like to be a big sister, no wonder Toshiko-nee keep doting on her... Though Chika isn't sure if she was a cute kid back then. Nana's hair is short, so Chika just tied a small pigtail on the left side of her head. She tied a pink ribbon as the last touch. "What do you think, Nana?" Chika hold up the mirror in front of her.
"Uwaaah~" The little girl beamed. "Thank you, Chika-nee!"
Chika nodded stoically at the little girl. Inside, she is breathing a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Nana likes it.
"And we're done too over here~" Kayano-san touches her shoulder. Chika held the mirror higher so she can see. She is sporting the same twin tails hairtyle as Kayano-san and Shiota-san... It was Kayano-san who gave Shiota-san his current hairstyle, if Chika is not mistaken. Her twin tails are much longer though.
"You look so cute! You did a great job, Kayano-san" Hara-san praised her. Kayano-san grinned sheepishly.
Fuwa-san gasped loudly. "Oichi-san, you look like Hatsune Miku!"
Chika lower her head, not used with all these attention. Nakamura-san put a pause on their activities to take pictures. She have hair tied to a low ponytail. Kanzaki-san's usually flowing hair is tied to a bun. You can see the back of her neck clearly now. Kano-San have so many hairpins on her... "All right, girls! Say 'cheese~" Nakamura-san hold out her phone.
"Cheese~"
CLICK
Everyone swarmed Nakamura-san to get a look at the picture. Judging from the laughs and giggles, it turned out good. Chika make a mental note to ask Nakamura-san to share the picture with her later. The girls took a few more pictures before their attention turned to her again.
"Can we braid your hair like Rapunzel?" Ami asked excitedly. How can Chika tell? She is practically jumping up and down. All the other girls gasped. Not just the younger ones, even the older ones have a hopeful look in their eyes. Unable to refuse, Chika nodded.
What is she getting herself into?
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Yep, even Toshiko-nee.
Her sister have dropped her bag on the floor. She wore a look of disbelief. Chika just stood there awkwardly. The girls have braided her hair similar to Disney's Rapunzel. The little girls went as far to look for flowers to put on her. Purple and white cosmos flowers were tucked into her braid. Their colours clashes with her dark blue hair... In a good way. Chika have gotten looks from passerby on her way home. They look at her in curiosity and awe.
It was embarrassing... But.. Chika have to admit... She looked good.
Toshiko-nee pulled her to a bear hug. "Chika-chan! How- When- Who- You're so pretty!" She gushes.
"My classmates styled my hair today," Chika answered. But not at school.
Her sister grins. "They did a very good job! You look like a fairy! All you need is a pretty dress and-" Toshiko-nee gasped. "What are we waiting for! Let's go!" She pulled her to her bedroom.
It looks like this is her day to be everyone's doll... Will she survive this time? Against her sister? She doubted it.
Chika didn't notice the corner of her mouth quirked.
This chapter takes place from chapter 96.
Chika is on her way to become a good mom.
In case you want to know how long Chika's hair is... It's as long as Ren Kougyoku's?
