Our daily routines had been somewhat altered after we'd brought all those little ones back to the school with us. They had pretty much taken over one of the classrooms, and suddenly we ran out of food considerably faster than before, which was a challenge of its own. We pretty much took turns spending time with the babies, and today it was my turn. I opened the door to the classroom and was almost immediately greeted by all of the new inhabitants.

- Yo yooo, uncle Minoru is here!

I said with a wide grin. Not even once did I think that something could go wrong. I mean, come on, these were all just little kids. Surely they wouldn't be that bad!

- Who wants to hear a story?

The babies all gathered around me as I sat cross-legged on the floor. They were super into my stories for some reason. I guess I did have a talent for keeping a bunch of kids entertained and out of trouble.

It all seemed to go so well for a start. But one by one the little ones started to lose interest in what I was saying, and started to entertain themselves. And some minutes later I finally realized that by now I was only telling the story to one loyal Poyomon who somehow had taken a real liking to me. Everyone else had scattered to all different directions and were now doing who knows what. I cut off the story as I heard the little ones causing some mayhem on the other side of the room. Standing up I started walking to where they were.

- Hey, why'd you all run off? What are you doing here?

What WEREN'T they doing is what I should have asked. Some of them had made their way onto the table somehow.

- Hey, you can't be climbing up there, you could fall and hurt yourself..!

I scooped up a few of the adventurous kids and went to place them back on the floor. Crisis averted, right? No. Quite the opposite. As I came back, I saw one of them hop around with a tube of glue in their mouth.

- Hey, stop! Where did you even get that..?!

I quickly went to confiscate the glue. Some others were play fighting, laughing and screaming. And by doing so they woke up some poor babies that actually had fallen asleep. Now they started to cry.

- How does Miu do so well with all of these little guys..?

I wondered to myself as I went to calm down the crying trio of babies. Another Poyomon, accompanied with Nyokimon and Yuramon. I held them all in my arms, slowly cradling them back and forth until they eventually calmed down and stopped crying.

- We have to find you guys some other place to sleep..

I told them.. and then saw something from the corner of my eye. One of the babies.. going around with scissors in their mouth.

- WHAT?!

I quickly placed the babies down in the corner of the room and then ran to the one that was a danger to everyone involved.

- Give me those, and listen. You don't hop around with scissors, that's dangerous! Where did you get those from, anyway?!

The baby actually tried to fight back but I managed to get the scissors to myself. Looking over my shoulder I saw the next couple culprits find their way into the snack stash. I quickly shoved the scissors somewhere where they would be out of reach, hopefully.

- You weren't supposed to have snacks before you've had dinner! Get.. away from there!

I took a running start, thinking that I'd just tackle those little demons if I'd have to. Only a few steps later I, though, stepped on a banana peel that someone had left on the floor. I slipped and fell on my back. It always looked so comedic in tv shows, but there was nothing funny about it when it happened to you.

- Owww... That.. really hurts...

I whimpered and carefully proceeded to sit up. My back was hurting like hell, but it didn't feel like anything was broken. Before I could get back on my feet, most of the babies came swarming closer, straight up climbing all over me.

- How do you climb so well, you guys barely even have any limbs to begin with..

I wondered as I grabbed and held one of the babies. It was the same Nyokimon I had accidentally made cry earlier. It was also one of the rascals who'd been eating the snacks just now.

I somehow managed to stand up, still holding the baby. I soon noticed that it looked.. kind of sickly, in a way.

- You ate too many snacks, didn't you? I told you that wasn't allowed..!

I scolded Nyokimon.. and soon frowned as it looked almost like the baby monster was gagging.

- Wait.. are you..? No.. oh no.. I'm sorry if I offended you, please don't throw up on me..!

I pleaded, although in vain. Because the absolute worst happened.

- I can't believe..! Water! Paper towels! WAAAAHHH, SAVE ME, TAKUMA!

Me yelling like hell caught Takuma's attention, and he came running, wondering what emergency needed his input this badly.

- Minoru?! What is going on?!

he yelled as he opened the door. I didn't waste time trying to tell him everything. Instead I just shoved the baby to Takuma before dashing past him and making a run for it as fast as I could to try and somehow salvage the situation.

I was gone for quite some time, and finally I returned, somehow feeling both relieved and defeated, all at once.

- Ughhh.. I hate everything...

I groaned as I slid the door open. I expected to see all hell still be loose, but as I walked into the room.. I saw Takuma calmly sitting on the floor, holding a number of the little shits in his arms.

- Takuma...

I almost whined as I dragged myself over to him and sat down by his side. Takuma naturally wanted to know what happened, so I started telling him everything. How everything had been nice and calm one second, and then pure mayhem the very next moment. By the time I got to the end, Takuma was LAUGHING at my misfortune.

- Takuma..! Don't laugh, it wasn't funny!

I yelled at him, looking quite furious. After everything I'd just gone through I wasn't exactly feeling very humorous.

- You left me here with all these little demons and it was not cool, man! I'm sure they tried to kill me just before you showed up!

I kept complaining. Takuma tried to get his composure back.

- Next time someone tasks me with babysitting all these guys, you'll be there to help me! We'll see who gets the last laugh..
