Volume 4
Carnivorous Plant

Tsuki paced back and forth while looking at her watch; she was waiting at the bus stop for—

"Sorry I'm late!"

Tsuki turned back to the direction where the voice came from. "Ah, Mako-san, no you're not. You're—"

Before him was a pink-haired boy wearing a white t-shirt under his tan unbuttoned, short-sleeve plaid shirt with blue jeans.

"What are you doing here so early, Tsuki?" asked Mako. "The bus doesn't come by for another thirty minutes."

"He...He looks so...so hot in casual clothing!" thought the human girl.

"So, we're finally about to have our summer vacation, right? I'm really looking forward to our trip together."

"Heh heh heh heh heh...I'm surprised we're actually spending summer vacation in the human world. Then again, as long as Nekonome-sensei is accompanying us..."


(Flashback)

"Attention, everyone!" Mr. Nekonome said to the Newspaper Club in the club room. "I have an important announcement to make: this summer, the Newspaper Club will be having a retreat to the human world!"

(End of Flashback)


"Gotta say though: I'm feeling really nervous. You remember how I said I hated humans during my stay in the human world, right?"

"*SIGH* Y-You mean..."

"Huh? Oh! B-But don't get me wrong! Staying by your side will definitely help my anxiety!"

"...Mako-san..."

"...Tsuki..."

The two teenagers looked into each other's eyes with love in their hearts; Tsuki slowly pushed her head forward, while Mako reached his mouth out for—

"HEY! Just what are you too doing~desu?"

Tsuki and Mako quickly jumped back at the startling voice.

"Ugh, I just KNEW that vampire son-of-a-bitch was gonna make a morning jump on Tsuki-chan!"

Kumaru and Yukinari, the former wearing casual clothing as well, had just arrived to break up the fun; Tsuki and Mako could do nothing but laugh in embarrassment.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Just then, the Yōkai Academy bus pulled up to the bus stop. "Hey, everybody!" called out Mr. Nekonome on the bus. "Today is the day of the Newspaper Club's first trip to the human world! I am SO excited!"

"Where's Gina-senpai?" Tsuki asked shortly after she and the rest of the club entered the bus.

"She spent so much of her time being a peeping tom that she ended up failing her finals and has to take remedial lessons," explained Kumaru.


*WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP*

OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!" Sitting at a desk with her remedial papers in front of her, Gina was continuously being whipped by Reiko Kogame, while waterfall tears fell down her eyes. "How could this school actually let this sick scumbag still be a teacher after all the shit he got caught doing?"


Kōmura Nazo says:

If you're wondering why Kumaru is going to the human world even though she failed her exams last chapter, it's because he forced Yukinari to falsely change his grades. WHEE!


And so, the bus drove off into an aurora-inner-like tunnel. "We're actually doing it...we're going to the human world...once we pass this tunnel..." thought the human girl. The bus reached the light at the end of the tunnel and...

*FLASH*

Holding her hand in front of her eyes to block out the blinding light, Tsuki slowly opened his eyes and saw...girls sitting on the sidewalk in sailor school uniforms, Japanese signs, takoyaki-like stands, buildings, city skyscrapers, and gas stations. "I...I...I'M ACTUALLY HOME!" she screamed in excitement.


Kōmura Nazo says:

You know, in the ORIGINAL anime, her boyfriends didn't know at the time that she was a human. WHEE!


The bus made its way up a hill, passing two signs. "Hey, I think one of those signs said, 'NO TRESPASSING'," said Kumaru.

"Heh heh heh heh. Don't worry, kids. You'll love where we're going," bus driver Natsuki said with a giggle.

The bus finally came to a stop and door the opened up to let the students off. "Wow! A sunflower garden! It's SO beautiful!" admired Tsuki.

"Uh, Natsuki, I-I don't remember this being the place where we had planned to camp," said Mr. Nekonome.

"Well, I thought we'd take a quick detour," explained Natsuki. "I heard this was the human world's most infamous tourist attraction in Japan." She then gave Tsuki a newspaper.

"What? For the sunflowers?" asked the human girl.

"Nope...for being a place where humans are spirited away..."

"SAY WHAT?! THAT'S WHY YOU BROUGHT US HERE?"

"Yes...nowadays, being spirited away is quite poetic; you should read the newspaper for more information. Well, y'all better be careful not to be spirited away yourselves."

"Wait, what?!"

"So, Nekonome-sama, wanna get some yummy fish? My treat."

"...FISH!" Mr. Nekonome became excited at Natsuki's proposal, so the two adults boarded the bus and drove off, leaving the teens behind.

"WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! COME BACK! YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HERE TO BE SPIRITED AWAY!" cried Tsuki.

"SENSEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" cried Mako.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" cried Yukinari.


Meanwhile, a news van with two men inside began approaching the same area.

"Hey, boss, a-are you sure you wanna do this, man?" asked the passenger nervously. "You've heard the stories about how people have been d-d-disappearing or getting...'spirited away', right?"

"Come on, man! I heard there are witches in this area," said the driver. "Think about how much money we'll get if this shit is true, and we report it!"


Kōmura Nazo says:

I've got a feeling those two are gonna be regretting it soon enough. WHEE!


"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! HOW COULD THAT BITCH JUST ABANDON US LIKE THIS?!" cried Yukinari. "I WANNA GO HOME! I WANNA GO HOME! I WANNA—"

"Dude, we just got here! Quit crying like a big baby!" teased Kumaru.

"BABY?!"

In that instant, the two boys began punching each other in fury.

"Hey! Knock it off, you two!" Mako called out.

Tsuki just looked away in embarrassment, trying to ignore the—

"...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

"Huh?" Tsuki looked around yet noticed nothing. "Hey, do you guys here that?"

"Huh? What's wrong?" asked Mako.

"...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." The growling began getting longer and louder.

"W-Where's that coming from?" asked Yukinari.

"I don't know, but we should get somewhere safe! QUICK! Over to that cabin!" Tsuki yelled.

*SLAM*

She slammed the door as soon as she and boys made it inside the cabin. "Are-Are you sure this is the human world? Because I don't think any-anything that growls like that would exist in a sunflower patch."

"...'Spirited away'..." whispered Mako. "Tsuki...you-you don't think THAT was what's been causing everybody to be 'spirited away', do you?"

Curious by what the pink-haired vampire boy said, Tsuki pulled out the newspaper she received earlier and opened it up...

According to sources, some people have claimed to have seen a witch in the sunflower field spiriting away intruders...

"A witch? Here? In the human world? Spiriting away people? Like..." Kumaru looked down at Yukinari.

"M-Me? You don't REALLY think I'd do something like that, d-do you?" asked the human wizard.

"Well, isn't that what your kind are notable for?"

"*SCOFF* You really are simpleminded to believe anything the newspaper said, Kumaru-san."

"Well, it's just that I hate witches...and wizards like—"

*BANG*

"SHUT UP!" the child wizard yelled as he smacked the incubus boy's head with a gold pan.

"Huh? This prefecture is right next to mine!" Tsuki continued reading the paper. "The prefecture is famous for having that radical governor who has all those ambitious projects."

"Hey...do you think it's more than just a coincidence that we were actually stranded here?" asked Mako suddenly. "This seems like a campsite for the Newspaper Club after all. Maybe Nekonome-sensei's trying to get us to do something here."

"Yeah right! If that were true, it would mean he'd be testing us, man," protested Kumaru. "Come on. Let's go investigate those 'spiriting away' cases. We could—"

"ARE YOU CRAZY! IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS!" screamed Yukinari. "WHAT IF THOSE STORIES WERE ACTUALLY TRUE? WHAT IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS? THIS IS THE HUMAN WORLD! EVEN MY TAROT CARDS SAY THIS TRIP IS ILL-FATED!"

"Get over yourself, ya big baby! Your cards are a bunch of bullshit! If you're really that scared of the goddamn human world, then why the hell even come, you little half-breed?"

"B-Baby! I'M NOT A BABY, YOU ASSHOLE!"

*SLAM*

"Yukinari!" Mako opened the slammed do and witnessed Yukinari running away. "Kumaru, why'd you do that? That was way too harsh!" He then left the cabin to rush after the wizard boy.


"*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT*" Having lost his club members, Yukinari sat on a log, contemplating his life. "I...I grew up living in a small sealed off village at the bottom of a deep gorge...so I saw humans as my enemies until I learned that Tsuki-san's true form was that of a human. I hated the human world for a lot of reasons too. And yet...no one seems to think about how I—"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yukinari broke out of his thoughts after hearing the screaming coming from the sunflower garden. Wasting no time, he rushed over to where the scream came from.


"SENPAI! HOLD ON!" cried a man with his hands reaching into the field; beside him was a video camera.

"What's going on here~desu?"

The cameraman turned back and saw an eleven-year-old boy wearing a brown trench coat looking at him in concern.

"A-An actual human being?" thought Yukinari.

"Woah! What's with the funky clothing? Is he a wizard?" thought the cameraman.

"*SIGH* Sorry, I thought you were in danger, but you seem fine~desu," the wizard boy said as he prepared to walk away in dissatisfaction.

"NO! WAIT! PLEASE HELP! MY SENPAI IS BEING EATEN BY THE GODDAMN SUNFLOWERS!" screamed the cameraman. "MY REPORTER SENPAI AND I WERE INVESTIGATING THESE 'SPIRITING AWAY' STORIES WHEN MY SENPAI WAS SUDDENLY ATTACKED BY SOMETHING IN THE SUNFLOWERS!"

"What?!" Turning around, Yukinari saw the reporter, whom the cameraman was holding onto, trapped in some vines with some leech things attached to his face. "Is THAT a plant?! Feeding on a human? Could...Could this be some kind of magic plant...and...could this thing be behind all the 'spiriting away' cases?"

"...ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR..." Just then, the garigarious emerged from out of the sunflowers.


Bite-Size Monster Dictionary:

Garigarious
A plant monster said to only inhabit the supernatural world. It has only base animal desire and has a huge appetite for meat. It camouflages itself among other pants and attacks anyone that comes near.


"...ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR..." The garigarious prepared to attack the eleven-year-old wizard boy.

"I'm not gonna let you eat me as well~desu! EAT THIS!" Yukinari threw a bunch of tarot cards at the monster, piercing the top of its head.

"...ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR..."

Yukinari then pulled out his magic wand.


Bite-Size Monster Dictionary:

Magic Wand
A magic item that harnesses the power of nature to do things like control objects through telekinesis; however, very heavy objects cannot be controlled by a wand.


Yukinari flicked his wand at the monster...but nothing happened. "Dammit, it's too big for me to control!"

*WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP*

Suddenly, the vines leeched onto Yukinari, lifting him into the air.


"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"YUKINARI!" Mako cried; he was currently searching for Yukinari with Tsuki and Kumaru. "Did you hear that?" he asked Tsuki.

"Yeah, that HAD to be him," said the human girl in concern.

"Oh man! Maybe I went a little TOO far..." thought Kumaru.


Yukinari looked down in terror at the jaws of the garigarious monster right under him. "Why did we have to come here? I told them it was ill-fated. We never should have come to the human world in the first place! Now I'm gonna get eaten!" Tears filled into the wizard boy's eyes as he realized h was doomed. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! PLEASE!"


"Get over yourself, ya big baby! Your cards are a bunch of bullshit! If you're really that scared of the goddamn human world, then why the hell even come, you little half-breed?"


"*GASP*" Yukinari's eyes shot wide open in realization. "What the hell am I doing?"

*SLICE*

Slicing the vines off of her, Yukinari landed on the ground, clutching his wand furiously. "Why'd I have to think about that weird-ass incubus at a time like this~desu? I'm done letting him make fun of me!" The magic wand began glowing more powerful. "The only reason my attacks weren't working was because they weren't powerful enough! I'll just increase my power!"

*SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE* *SLICE*

One by one, the vines and heads were sliced off by the enhanced tarot cards and fell to the ground. "*PANT* *PANT* *PANT* *PANT* Don't mess with a genius~desu..." was the last thing the wizard boy said before collapsing face-first onto the ground.


Kōmura Nazo says:

This chapter's climactic battle took 410 words! WHEE!


"YUKINARI!" Just then, Mako arrived over the hill, with Tsuki and Kumaru following close behind, just in time to see the aftermath of the battle.

"HOLY SHIT!" screamed an impressed Kumaru. "Did Yukinari-kun actually do all of this? Guess he's not a big baby after all"

"Yukinari-kun!" Tsuki quickly consoled the unconscious wizard. "Wow! Yukinari-kun's stronger than I thought for his age. But still...monsters! In the human world! What's going on with these mountains?"

"SENPAI!" The cameraman pulled the unconscious reporter out of the rubble. "Oh, thank god you're alright! Hey, wizard kid, thanks you SO very much!" Wrapping the reporter's arm around the back of his neck, the cameraman rushed back to their car to get back into town and get some help.

But little did any of them know that a shadowy figure was watching over them.


"...A wizard? On my hill...?"

"Yes, Oyakata-sama. Despite his youth, he possesses quite strong magic. He completely destroyed our magical plants used to guard our sunflower field."

"Hmm...it seems we've finally met another wizard after all these years. And now would is the best time to be acquainted with this wizard boy. After all, WE are wizards as well..."
