Title: Strangely 268 Treating Your Kids

Hino Dad: Hey! I didn't know they had a cool store like this

Store Logo: Guardian Spirit Market

Mimio: Guardian Spirit Market...
Hino Dad: You don't have a guardian spirit, so this has gotta be the perfect store for you, Mimio!

Hino Dad: Alright! Let's get going!

02

Hino Dad: Hey... take look at this, Mimio
Hino Dad: There's an Ogre in the Samurai Guardian Spirit section...

Poster: Price Drop

Mimio: D...Dad... The price is one million yen...
Hino Dad: One...One million is a bit over budget for me...
Mimio: What has the world come to when you can BUY guardian spirits... The end is nigh, I tell ya.
Hino Dad: Well then~~~ Let's shop here today...!!
Hino Dad: Just pick a guardian spirit you want that won't bankrupt us...!
Hino Dad: I'm gonna give you the best guardian spirit as present......!
Mimio: But come to think of it... It's hard to pick one right away
Mimio: I mean, isn't a guardian spirit sort of a lifetime partner...?
Mimio: I've always been alone up until now. Getting a guardian spirit all of a sudden...
Store Owner: If you're not satisfied with your guardian spirit, you may always sell it back secondhand

03
Mimio: Huh...? Sell it back...? The guardian spirit!?
Owner: This way, please. There are many people obtaining and disposing of their guardian spirits
Owner: Since one of the main sources of people's misfortune is the weakness of their guardian spirit's power
Clerk: I'll take it... For 500 yen

Counter: Buyback

Owner: It only makes sense to do this to obtain a more powerful guardian spirit
Girl: Sold (heart)
Hino Dad: She's selling her ancestor's spirit for cash
Mimio: I'll better protected with a guardian spirit by my side,
Mimio: And if I don't like it with me, I can always just sell it
Mimio: Guardian spirits... They're actually kinda nice
Hino Dad: You're finally getting greedy, Mimio!! Let's buy one then!! Let's do it!!
Mimio: Don't call it greed, dad
Mimio: But I don't want a guardian spirit fussing over every little thing I do
Mimio: There are things I wanna do in private

04
Owner: Hmm... Well, those would cost you a bit more
Mimio: Huh... Why's that?
Owner: Guardian spirits that are more considerate and willing to look the other way are usually higher class spirits
Mimio: What a nice guardian spirit... but it costs 30 thousand yen
Hino Dad: Hey, Mimio!! This guardian spirit enjoys watching its master reading porn in the bathroom! For only 500 yen!!
Mimio: Hell no! I hate guardian spirits like that!!
Owner: By the way, what kind of budget are we talking about here?
Hino Dad: yes~~~~... let's see
Hino Dad: ...Huh?
Hino Dad: ...What the?
Hino Dad: ...How in...!?

05
Owner: ...What happened...? Did you lose your wallet...?
Mimio: Dad...
Mimio: It's ok... let's just go home
Hino Dad: N
Hino Dad: No!!
Hino Dad: Not when you finally have something you really want...!!
Hino Dad: I was never a dad for you, son, and I've always been more of a burden to you!!!
Hino Dad: This is why I must buy something for you now to repay you
Mimio: Why would you think that?
Hino Dad: If it comes to this... Daddy will just have to sell
Hino Dad: His guardian spirit
Hino Dad: No worries, Mimio. Dad will use the money and buy you a guardian spirit!!
Hino Dad: Isn't this the best thing I can do to treat my kids?
Mimio: Dad

06
Clerk: That'll be 50 yen
Clerk: Well~~~ This is actually the first time for me
Clerk: To see someone having a dung beetle as guardian spirit
Mimio: Typical dad right there... Even someone without a guardian spirit, like me, has to bow down in admiration

Dung Beetle: *Rolling*

Mimio: By the way, what kind of protective power does this fellow have, exactly?

Panel Text: It'll make evil spirits who come near react like

Evil Spirit: Ewww Disgusting

Panel Text: ...And run like the wind

Mimio: ...50 yen you say...
Mimio: Dad... Just give it up today and go home, ok?

07
Mimio: Dad, you're being stubborn. The thought is what counts the most...
Hino Dad: I'm not going to change my mind on getting my son something...
Mimio: It's ok, really~~~~ Just give back the 50 yen and be done with it~~~~~
Evil Spirit: Hey
Evil Spirit: You trying to pick a fight with me without a guardian spirit!?
Evil Spirit: Who do you think I am!?
Mimio: Right after the dung beetle guardian spirit is gone, this happens!!
Evil Spirit: Poopoo
Evil Spirits: Boobies

Hino Dad SFX: La La La La

Mimio: That's the most miserable person in the Hino Family for you... You've earned plenty of pity from me...
Hino Dad: Mimio...

08
Hino Dad: I wanted to get you something, but in the end, I'm the one getting something from you...
Hino Dad: Is there... Anything more miserable than this?

Hino Dad: Your kindness is making me feel ashamed!!
Mimio: Hey now! We never really treated one another before anyway
