"First of all, we can't completely rule out the possibility of a 'thrill-seeker'... but, well, the most likely scenario, or rather the one that makes the most sense, is..." "Just get on with it already." And so, with Hagasaki-san urging her on, Maito-san began to lay out her reasoning. "First, I think the timing of… Continue reading Maid Lab 26: Poisonous or Medicinal ~3~

"For now, please warm up by the stove. Are you alright?" "Ah, yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. I warmed up during the questioning, so I'm alright, really."

For the time being, I offered Maito-san the prime spot… Continue reading Maid Lab 25: Poisonous or Medicinal ~2~

February 6 Weather: Somewhere between clear and sunny Recorder: Kariya Humans aren't great, right? Well, that might sound misleading, but if I had the choice, I would've preferred to be born as something like a water flea, a cat, or even a plant. Humans have it tough in so many ways. For someone like me,… Continue reading Maid Lab 24: Poisonous or Medicinal ~1~

After about 10 minutes, Suzumoto went to the chemistry prep room again, and when he returned, he had the project proposal in his hand... "What?" "Why?" "Huh...? This is strange...?" For some reason, the proposal had been edited. "Are you sure Sensei wasn't hiding in the prep room? Maybe he’s stuck in the chemical storage?"… Continue reading Maid Lab 23: Blank Proof ~3~

I thought maybe the teacher accidentally skipped it, but I was watching the teacher with the red pen almost the whole time... That doesn't seem likely. "The ones without corrections are mine, Maito-san's, and Toriumi's… Continue reading Maid Lab 22: Blank Proof ~2~

"Logically speaking, there are only so many places you can hide this amount of porn magazines." Hariu began explaining after drawing a simple map of the school on the blackboard. "First of all, the classroom is a no-go." "What about inside the lockers? We could limit the access to after school hours." "No way, you… Continue reading Maid Lab 20: Pink Textbook ~3~

"The first thing we need to consider is why the culprit would dispose of this book in a garbage dump." It immediately became President's turn. This was really helpful. "Huh? Didn't they just throw it away normally?" "That would be unlikely. As I mentioned earlier, if the contents of the cardboard box were examined and… Continue reading Maid Lab 19: Pink Textbook ~2~

January 28th Weather: I'm sad because it looks like it's going to snow but it won't! Recorder: Toriumi Now then. "Wh-Why did this happen...?" While watching the rare sight of Suzumoto's face twitching, all of us silently pondered, "How did it come to this?" as we stood in front of a single cardboard box. Inside… Continue reading Maid Lab 18: Pink Textbook ~1~

“We should have thought it was strange from the start. Why was the thief able to steal the club funds in the first place?” At President’s words, all of us stare blankly. “Um... well? Because the door wasn't locked?” “You’re being naive, Kadomi-kun. It’s true that the chemistry lab wasn’t locked.
