Chapter 107

Mismatched (Part 2) (ちぐはぐの) is the one hundred and seventh chapter of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun by AidaIro. It was released alongside HSHK Chapter 26 of Houkago Shounen Hanako-kun

Summary
The chapter begins with Yugi Tsukasa wandering around the Clock Keepers' boundary. He complains that no matter where he goes in the boundary, all that he sees is gears, gears and more gears, plus the nests of the Owl Guardian birds, and then he wonders where could the Clock Keeper's Yorishiro be. He then adjusts his cap, and then he hears the ticking of a clock. He wonders where it is coming from, and then he focuses his hearing so that he can find where the sound is. But he is interrupted by a crying and wailing Yashiro Nene, who had been turned to a toddler in the previous chapter. He grabs her by the leg, and asks her why she's being so fussy. She then tells him that she doesn't want to be hanging upside down, and that she wants to go home. Tsukasa reminds her that she lost in the tag race, and so she has no choice but to destroy the Clock Keepers' Yorishiro. She replies to him by screaming that she doesn't want to, and calls him all kinds of names, like "dummy" and "kidnapper".

Tsukasa gets fed up with Yashiro's whining, and then so preceeds to use his sleep ability and touch her forehead with his fingers. But this time, Yashiro dodged it. Tsukasa tries it again, but she dodges it everytime, and she even lands a punch on his cheek. The punch makes Tsukasa drop Yashiro into the ground, and she stays her ground to him, telling him that she won't be destroying any Yorishiro, because if she does, then she will die. In response, Tsukasa touches her face but then she bites it, then she falls down to the ground, and screams again that Tsukasa's a bully and that she hates him (She says that multiple times). Tsukasa then admits that she's far more unbearable than Mitsuba Sousuke ever was to him. And then he also admits that he's never seen anyone babysit before, and then wonders what would his mother do in such a situation. He then comes to a conclusion.



Tsukasa grabs Yashiro, reins in one of the Owl Guardians, while saying that "every kid loves heights!", which scares Yashiro in the process. As the reined Owl Guardian now serving as their transport flies through the boundary, she couldn't do anything but suffer from vertigo and shock. After a while, Tsukasa asks her if she's having fun, to which she finally has a positive reply and giggles, implying that she indeed, had fun. Accepting the response, Tsukasa himself joins in the fun and shouts joyfully as their ride continues to fly in a zig-zag manner throughout the boundary. Sometime later, we move to a rather disappointed Tsukasa, who is lamenting that Yashiro's become more annoying than before, as the panel shows Yashiro dancing and jumping around, with the Owl Guardian that they rode on downed and defeated.



Yashiro, in her excitement, is asking Tsukasa to do it all over again, to which Tsukasa asks if she's an alarm. He then has enough, and assigns one of his Kokujoudai to "babysit" her while he walks around. He then sings "Over the Rainbow", a song that was coincidentally made for the 1939 movie of The Wizard of Oz, the very same story that Class 1-A was going to play at The Sealed Auditorium. Yashiro and the Kokujoudai noticed his singing, and then Yashiro approaches him, telling him that it is indeed, the song from The Wizard of Oz. He tells her that he remembers learning about it in high school, but that he forgot what the next verse is. Yashiro exclaims that she does remember the second verse, and then she sings it as well.

After singing the song, Yashiro fell asleep, and Tsukasa wuickly changed his tune. After all, with Yashiro asleep, he can continue on his quest to find the Clock Keepers' Yorishiro. But before he could take a step, the ticking noise of the Clock became louder and louder. As Tsukasa continued to listen, a gigantic pendulum-like hammer was fast swinging to his location. Just in the, Tsukasa quickly dodged the hammer and took Yashiro with him as well. He sees the hammer, and calls it out for what it is. And as the hammer continues to try and pound both Tsukasa and Yashiro, he just keeps on dodging it. He eventually grabs the one swinging the hammer, and before he can do something about it, the one swinging the hammer is revealed to be Mirai, who then stamps his arm with her hammer, now small in size. The sign she stamped on his arm was "罪", which stands for "Guilty".

Mirai than laughs manically, and then goes to a spot on the top. She then introduces herself:



"I am The One who holds the Second Highest position in The Clock Keepers. The Time Guardian that presides over the Future. I know what you did, you two messed around with The School's time, didn't you? Meddling with the flow of time for no justifiable reason? What naughty kids are you? In light of your misdeeds, You will be brought to Justice in our Court of Law!"

- Mirai introducing herself as the Second Highest of the Clock Keepers, and declaring both Yugi Tsukasa and Yashiro Nene guilty of messing with The School's time, and telling them that they will be brought to their justice.

And thus, the chapter ends with both Tsukasa and Yashiro, now about to stand trial before the Clock Keeper's Court!
