N-No—
Kirishima!
You've got some nerve ignoring one of my orders.
Fuyutsuki General Hospital
Kirishima-san's gonna be okay, isn't he?
Boss...
What are you doing he—
You back to your senses now?
You fool!
What were my orders?!
To come here and cover yourself in this filthy blood? No!
You were to stay by Yaeka's side! That's what you were supposed to do!
You decided to mess with us. Don't expect it to end that easily.
Hey.
Hey, don't you run away.
Stay put.
Boss...
I guess I'm still me, after all.
I'm not gonna tell you to forget the past,
and there's no way to undo it.
But there is one thing that's certain.
You're not the Yakuza Crusher Kirishima right now.
You're the babysitter.
You've been Yaeka's babysitter for quite a while now.
Don't waste all the time you've put in over a single impulsive action.
Yes, sir.
Sir! The little lady...
Fuyutsuki General Hospital
Little lady!
Kiri...shima?
Are you all right? Does it hurt anywhere?
I'm sorry, I—
Kirishima...
Kirishima! Kirishima!
Yes, little lady.
Kirishima's right here.
I'm very sorry you had to go through something so scary.
Thank goodness.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Kirishima, you hurt your head...
Kirishima?
Kirishima-san?!
Kirishima's asleep.
What?!
The relief must've been too great.
For crying out loud... He sure knows how to make everyone worry.

Episode 11: Fireworks and Promises
I'm home.
Yes, welcome back.
Boss, please excuse me.
May I speak with you for a moment?
Little lady?
Weren't you going to take a few days off from school to be on the safe side?
Sara and Kaede-chan came by to bring me my homework.
I'm gonna finish it before I go back to school.

Hey, Yaeka!
Feel better soon.
You're such a good girl.
When I was your age, I'd spend my days off just lazing around.
Of course, since I didn't do any homework,
my parents and teachers yelled at me a lot.
You poor thing.
That's why you're amazing, little lady.
Kirishima-san could learn about planning from you,
since he randomly calls me late at ni—
Did you say something?
Jeez! Could you not just suddenly appear outta thin air behind me?!
Little lady, are your studies going well?
Yes.
And he's ignoring me!
Once you're done with your homework, would you like to go out somewhere?
I can spend the whole day with you today.
Can we go to a fireworks show tonight, then?
A fireworks show?
The one we went to together last time...
was a lot of fun.
Er, I'm not sure about fireworks shows right now...
Is the season over?
Little lady.
Let's put on our own fireworks show.
We can do that?!
We won't be able to set off any big, fancy ones,
but if things like sparklers will do, I'll get us some.
We'll buy some food and drinks, and we'll invite the boss and your friends.
I'll go invite everyone after I finish my homework!
Sure.
The little lady cheered up immediately.
I guess Kirishima-san really does think about the little lady a lot.
Hey, Sugihara. What are you zoning out for?
Go buy those fireworks already.
And here I was, getting the warm fuzzies...
I mean, where would they even sell them right now?
What?
I'll go get them right now!
Fireworks, pretty!
So pretty...
The little lady looks like she's having fun.
Yeah.
Kirishima.
What's wrong?
Oh, I'm fine.
I was just zoning out a bit.
Huh...
Let's light some sparklers together.
Ah, sounds like a great plan.
There!
Wonderful!
Whoa!
Fireworks are really pretty even at home.
Kirishima?
Kirishima...
Huh?
Aw, it fell.
Shall we light the next one?
Bye-bye!
See you later.
Okay, let's head back.
Wait.
Huh?
We've still got a few sparklers left.
You're right. Should we go through all of them?
I'm going to save them until next time.
Let's do them together again.
Sure.
Yes, right away, Kirishima-san...
Wait, a text?
Kirishima-san
That's not like Kirishima-san...
Huh?!
Great job today. I made sure to lock up.
Today
Take care of the little lady for me.

The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting
What do you mean, Kirishima-san left?!
Did I stutter?
"Right now, all I'm going to do is cause the family trouble.
Please allow me to walk away before I lose what's important to me."
That's what he told me as he apologized.
You stopped him, though, right?
He would've left even if I'd tried.
But...
But that's so irresponsible!
Kirishima-san's supposed to care for the little lady,
and he's the Sakuragi's first lieutenant!
And...
Daddy?
Have you seen Kirishima?
I've been looking and can't find him anywhere...
Yaeka...
Kirishima's taking a little break.
Sugihara will take care of you in the meantime.
A break?
So you don't need to worry. He'll be back soon.
Okay.
It really is irresponsible.
Though that's only if he really doesn't come back.
Huh?
He's just not sure what he should do right now.
He'll be back once he's cooled off.
Until then, I'm counting on you.
Yes, sir...
"Right now, all I'm going to do is cause the family trouble.
Please allow me to walk away before I lose what's important to me."
What the hell, man?
Do as you will. Just don't make the wrong choice.
Yes, sir.
Thank you very much.
Seriously... Could you look any more pathetic?
By the way, I heard Sakuragi's crew ran into a bit of trouble.
Yup.
I heard Kirishima-kun turned back into a demon and ran amok.
Momoyama Family Boss Momoyama Hidenari
That's what he gets for taking in some stray that can't even follow orders.
Mashiro, you seem awfully obsessed with Kirishima.
You're not involved with this, are you?
Of course not.
Damn it, of course he won't answer.
What should I do?
What should I be doing in Kirishima-san's place right now?
Little lady?
Sugihara...
What are you doing out here?
Waiting.
Because Kirishima might come home.
Man, what the hell am I doing?
Great job today. I made sure to lock up.
Today
Take care of the little lady for me.

As if I could take Kirishima-san's place...
Little lady! I'm gonna go look for Kirishima-san!
Huh?
I know we said he was on a break, but he actually ran away!
As things stand, we're not sure when he'll come back!
So I'm gonna go out there and drag him back myself!
I'll go, too!
Huh?!
If I take the little lady with me right now, the boss will probably get real angry.
All right! Let's find Kirishima-san together!
You wait here, okay? We'll come back with Kirishima.
Let's do them together again.
I guess I broke another promise...
It's been a while, Kirishima-kun.
So...
I heard about the attack against your little lady.
You nearly killed a former yakuza member, eh?
I was really happy to hear that, actually...
because it proved that the real you wasn't dead.
I'm proud of the fact that our yakuza families are under the same banner.
You're the source of all my entertainment in the underworld,
so if I'm being quite honest,
I was really disappointed in you when you started babysitting.
It was such a thrill to see you get so pissed off again.
Don't tell me you...
And what will you do if I did, Wittle Demon?
I know everything.
Even if you start playing house with an innocent child,
the real you deep down inside will never change.
Hello? Yeah, sorry I'm late.
I was planning to leave early,
but the client's boss is a lousy drunk...
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm almost home.
Toru.
Aoi-san...
What the hell are you doing here?
You out working this late?
You're doing well, then.
Actually, I had to go out drinking with my boss, and—
Wait, don't change the subject! I'm the one asking questions here.
My bad.
Alone at the park this late at night? You on a walk or something?
Yeah... Something like that.
What happened?
Huh?
Some dude who's just out for a stroll
wouldn't be smoking a cigarette and looking all emo.
I can at least hear you out.
I'm fine. Shouldn't you hurry home, Aoi-san?
Your family's waiting for you.
Jeez. I guess you still don't like showing people your weak side.
If you're stressing out over something important,
choose whatever you're thinking about abandoning.
Huh?
The more precious something is to you, the more regret will follow, always.
I...
Kirishima!
Little lady...
Why...
You can't run away from home!
Run away from home?!
I guess he still just runs off whenever something happens.
Little lady... Did you come here by yourself?
Of course not!
Sugihara...
Who the hell are you?! Where's the Kirishima-san I know?!
Sugihara...
This way, little lady.
Let go of me.
No! I'm not gonna let go until you're back to the usual Kirishima-san!
What was with that text?!
"All I'm going to do is cause trouble"?
"Walking away before I lose what's important to me"?
What the hell?!
Just apologize after you cause trouble,
and then get stronger so you can protect what's important to you!
Who cares if you messed up once?!
The Kirishima-san I know is a free spirit, but he's not irresponsible!
Being the Sakuragi Family's first lieutenant
and the little lady's babysitter...
The big bro I look up to...
You're the only one who can do all that.
So if you don't come home now, I'll make you regret it!
Let go of me.
No! I won't let you go until you say you'll come hom—
How the hell am I supposed to go home
with you clinging to me like this?
Kirishima-sa—
Never thought the day would come when you'd grab me by the collar and lecture me.
I-I'm sowwy.
Still, you're the one in the wrong this time—
Huh?
Just get stronger so you can protect what's important to you...
I guess that's something even an idiot like me can get.
I'm back to my senses. Thanks.
You can act a little more touched, y'know!
Jeez, don't cry.
I'm not crying!
Everything's back to normal.
I have no idea what's going on, but I guess it got sorted out.
Let's go home, Sugihara.
Y-Yes, sir!
Little lady, I'm sorry I worried you.
Kirishima.
Yes?
No more running away from home!
Right. I won't make the wrong choice again.
Let's go home, Kirishima.
