Chapter 95

Synopsis
During winter break, the members of the Babysitting Club gather to clean the daycare center.

Long Summary
Ryuuichi helps Kotaro put on his cleaning clothes and gives him a clean rag, telling him that they will be cleaning together. Usaida, Hayato, and Taka arrive in their winter clothes and greet Ryuu and Kotaro. Ryuu looks at Taka, who has droopy eyes and seems incredibly drowsy, and asks if he is alright. Taka slowly takes off his jacket, crawls into Hayato's lap, and buries his head in his shirt, saying that he is sleepy. Usaida is surprised since Taka is usually very energetic in the morning. He asks if he stayed up late, and Hayato explains that Taka had wet the bed because he had a nightmare. Taka yells at his brother, telling him that that was a secret. He starts crying even though he has snuggled up into Hayato's shirt. Hayato scolds Taka as Ryuu panics and tries to assure Taka that they did not hear anything. Usaida says that he did not hear anything about bedwetting, which upsets Ryuu, but Taka actually believes him. Ryuu affirms that they did not hear anything embarrassing and asks Kotaro as well. Kotaro nods, which cheers Taka up. Taka smiles and walks up to Kotaro, saying that he is not sleepy. Kotaro dries Taka's eyes with his cleaning rag while Ryuu offers Hayato a towel because his shirt is soaked. Hayato turns down the towel, saying that he will be changing into his jersey soon anyways. He calls Taka an idiot as he goes to the locker room to change.

Usaida says that he has nostalgic cleaning clothes to change into and goes off, leaving Ryuu confused and curious. Usaida returns wearing his high school jersey, saying that today, he is a high school student just like Ryuu. Kirin points at Usaida, saying that he is a failed senior or some kind of adult high school student. He puts his arms on Hayato and Ryuu, asking if he looks like a spunky school kid. Ryuu leads everyone as they begin cleaning: Ryuu and Hayato will move furniture, Usaida will vacuum, Kirin and Taka will help Usaida, and Kotaro, Takuma, and Kazuma will clean with rags. Hayato impatiently lifts up a crib and sees that there are numerous acorns scattered across the floor. Usaida remembers that they had collected a lot of acorns during fall. Taka attempts to sweep the acorns but scatters them everywhere. Usaida tells him that if he is a bad boy, bad things will happen as he takes the vacuum and attaches it to Taka's shirt. Taka is excited by the vacuum as he laughs. Takuma also wants to be vacuumed while Kazuma pulls him back. Usaida asks Kotaro why he looks so scared, and Kotaro, terrified, uses his arms to keep the other children away from the vacuum. Usaida assures Kotaro that the vacuum is not scary as he shows the elephant decoration on the vacuum. Kotaro's eyes sparkle as he walks towards the vacuum with his arms out. Usaida says that he had fallen for his ruse and vacuums Kotaro's shirt. Kotaro hides behind Ryuu as Ryuu scolds Usaida. Usaida apologizes as he thinks to himself that it was hilarious. Hayato orders him to die and repent. Kirin gives Kotaro acorns, telling him that picking acorns will make him happy. Inomata and Ushimaru enter the room, and Inomata immediately scolds them all for playing around when the entire room is dirty. Ryuu says that they had just started and were not playing around, while Hayato says that they were. Then, Yagi and Chuukichi come in. Yagi is holding a phone and suffering from a nosebleed when he greets Ryuu. Suekichi, Kichi, and Kyouko come in with mops and a bucket too. Usaida greets them all as Shizuka comes in with cleaning materials. Shizuka says that Usaida with his jersey makes him look exactly like he was as a student when he used to skip cleaning. Usaida sarcastically accepts the "compliment" as Shizuka wonders why there are so many acorns. She sees Taka with a broom and calls out Taka for causing such a mess. She pinches her son's cheeks as she tells him to take responsibility and work hard. Kirin and Kyouko wash the stuffed animals in a large bucket. Takuma, Kazuma, and Kotaro want to use the duster, so Ryuu, wary of getting dust in their faces, puts cloths on their faces and give them dusters. Usaida calls them a midget gang and notes that they have already "killed" someone. Ryuu and Usaida observe Yagi practically fainting because of the cuteness. Taka runs along the floor with his cleaning rag but trips and falls. Hayato cleans the floor as he holds Taka, who is bawling. Kotaro gently cleans the floor but cannot seem to rub off some crayon residue. Shizuka helps him by spraying some cleaning solution and scrubbing it with a toothbrush. They all hang the stuffed animals outside to dry and change the water in the fish tank. Afterwards, the children gaze upon the clean babysitting room and marvel at their hard work.

As they all take off their cleaning clothes, Ryuu congratulates Kotaro for working hard. Kotaro asks if the nursery room is happy, to which Ryuu affirms, saying that he has shown his gratitude towards the room.

Everyone watches as Kotaro looks up and says "thank you."
