Chapter 107

Synopsis
Takuma and Kazuma are torn between staying together or parting ways for a potty emergency when they're distracted by a stern-looking visitor to the daycare.

Long Summary
A very intimidating fellow pulls up on his motorcycle right in front of the Morinomiya Academy. He approaches Usokawa and asks for directions to the nursery room. Meanwhile, Kazuma does not want to be left alone by his brother, who really needs to pee. The reason for this is the story the children were told that day; The Three Talismans. Within it was a very frightening-looking Yamanba, who went after people even when they using the bathroom. Kazuma is too afraid to go, and even more afraid that Takuma would be taken away. Ryuuichi promises that wouldn't happen, but it does no good. Kazuma clings onto Takuma to keep him in the daycare. While trying to sort this out, Ryuu gets a call on his phone from Usokawa. Usaida answers it for him, and is informed that they would soon be visited by a man who looks like he could be yakuza. Right as he says this, the man arrives and stands in the doorway. He overheard how he was described, and he wears a cross expression on his face. Ryuu worries for the safety of the children, and moves them behind him before asking the stranger to introduce himself. But Kazuma and Takuma both approach the man fearlessly, and even Kazuma looks happy to see him. The instant they call out "Grandpa", the old man's glare is replaced by a wide grin. He warmly embraces the twins and tells them how happy he is to see them again.

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Ryuu is asked to share his story as a student taking care of two precious grandsons. Ryuu remains wary about saying anything that might upset Momoga-san, but he explains that he's a good fit for the role of babysitter as the result of being a big brother. Speaking of, Kotaro says "Yababa" as he points to Momoga. Ryuu apologizes for the remark as the senior stretches out his hand. But Momoga only rubs Ryuu's head, thankful that Umi's praise about him wasn't unwarranted. He thanks Ryuu for his service and expresses high hopes that Ryuu will continue to be a positive influence in the lives of his grandsons. The headrub was quite vigorous, and looks painful to Taka and Kirin. They move into rescue Ryuu from the mountain witch Kotaro pointed out. Ryuu tries to get them to settle down before Takuma reminds him that he still needs the bathroom. With Takuma unable to hold it in much longer, Ryuu excuses himself. Kazuma realizes that his brother is now too far away to hold onto, and cries about the "Yananba" again. Momoga asks Usaida for an explanation.

In the bathroom, Takuma finishes his "business" without incident. As he's washing his hands, Ryuu ponders on how he and others initially saw such a beloved grandfather. When asked about how he feels, Takuma joyfully expresses his love for his grandpa. When they get back to the daycare, Kazuma sits before Momoga, who looks stern once again. Having heard the story, Momoga asks why Kazuma was afraid of facing the Yamanba when his friends were willing to bravely attack the person they thought was a mountain witch. He cautions Kazuma to change his ways, lest he grow up to become a weak man prone to crying. The children exclaim that Takuma and Kazuma's daddy is such a man, causing Momoga to sigh that Kousuke can't keep from crying in public either. Hoping to spare Kazuma from his father's path, Momoga brings forth the picture book illustration that scared Kazuma so much. He urges his grandson to look upon it while he's there. Kazuma reluctantly does so...and promptly wails yet again. Despite the failure, Momoga embraces Kazuma and congratulates him for trying so hard. Usaida is puzzled by the response, but Momoga states that one just can't help doting on such an adorable grandchild. Takuma looks at the picture too, hoping to impress his grandfather too. It works, and soon the other children line up to do so, with Momoga patting each and every one of them on the head. Such bravado gives the senior an idea: the children all help Kazuma train to become more confident.

The next trial was to say hello to a stranger. Momoga corners a teacher, and the children greet him, including the shy Kazuma. Though startled at first, the teacher finds the display endearing. Satisfied, Momoga then has the children pet The Cat. What becomes just a regular outdoor walk is interrupted by Umi. She is annoyed to learn that her father just stopped by unannounced on a whim. Momoga is unapologetic, and Umi apologizes to Ryuu for any inconvenience her father caused for the club. Content to have seen his grandsons, Momoga takes his leave. But Takuma and Kazuma don't want to say goodbye just yet, and run after him. Umi sees that she has no choice but to see them all to her home. She bids the club farewell as she runs after her family. Usaida is left wondering why he stopped by so suddenly in the first place. Ryuu thinks that whatever ulterior motives Momoga might have had, the desire to see his grandsons was what counted most of all. Usaida agrees, and mimics the grandfather's head-patting on Ryuu before telling everybody to return to the daycare.

That evening, Umi is at home and on the phone with her mother. Apparently, Momoga-san had his first physical done in years, and it made him worry about the time he spent with his family. The results of the test came back normal of course, so he was fretting over nothing. Umi is just glad that all's well that ends well, and she and the boys were happy to see him too. Kousuke, on the other hand, can't help but cry in the presence of his intimidating father-in-law.
