On the occasion of its ending, I will storytime Ura Baito, one job per day. Most jobs are around 3-4 chapters, and self contained, so feel free to join at any time.Today's job: Aquarium StaffPrevious thread: >>290951178>Ura baito, also known as a shady part-time job.

>>291018846ENTER DAIDAI
>>291019273>hearing through waterNANTO
Done. Daidai is by far the most mysterious entity in this manga. See you tomorrow!
>>291018846Daidai when she looked sort of normal.
>>291018846I kneel!
>>291018889She must a tuna in bed.
>>291019003What a pure sweetheart.
>>291019189Smug
>>291019175>Not covering her eyesLewd girl!
>>291018957>>291019189Author does a similar page like this later during Beach House, but much better that time in my opinion.>>291019003Holy fuck I completely forgot that was mentioned all the way back here. That's some amazing payoff later on.

>>291018777LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>291018911Never noticed the restaurant mascots before
>>291019175
>>291020577Would Daidai say yes?
>>291019232>i've always been the unreasonable oneYou sure have, and boy do you prove yourself to be absolutely crazy...
>>291019390Another succesful job by my wife, Yumi Kokuryu.
>>291019331karl marx famously wrote that it is the consciousness of daidai that determines her being, not vice versa
>>291020762you have the Daidai virus
Catching up to the storytime, I think the shrine maiden job would have been fine if Yume or Hama got targeted as the sacrifice instead of Miho and everything would have worked out in such a way that the four of them would have all survived.
>>291018846I'm really curious to see what her deal is, since you guys hype her up so much.
>>291021596>I'm really curiousStop right there. Just walk away. There as been too much opening things. Too much asking questions. Just walk away. Too much death. Just walk away. And there will be an end to the horror.
>>291021596Careful lad, that's a mythical beast you're talking about
>>291021548>Oh, you make people's wishes come true? Then I wish to get out of here safely with the others.>Fair enough. You can go.https://youtu.be/eVKj3u8JUm0

>>291018777Trips of luck. They will survive yet another job.
>>291018846Oh no, she's retarded.
>>291018889AAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TASUKETE NIGGERMAN!

Gray Compendium>Gray: Mother FisshuA gargantuan fish-like entity that preys on humans using its siren-like ability and human shaped lure. >291019189>First appearance:Chapter 22>Method of Escape:Earplugs are useful for blocking out the sounds to an extent. >291019028Keep yourself grounded. >291019081>Details:The lure is made up of fish and perception of it differs from person to person. >291019344 >291019360Mother Fisshu lives in an alternate dimension >291019189>Additional Remarks:It may be that those most affect by the lure are living stress filled lives. >291019344 >291018982Further research may be required.
>>291025163>It may be that those most affect by the lure are living stress filled lives.That's normal, chronic stress depletes your resources with constant readiness for danger, such that when an actual emergency happens, you are weakened to deal with it and your perception thresholds are already fucked which make it easier to make mistakes or miss things. No need to be a gray for that.
>>291025322Yes but the lure is clearly a school of fish in the shape of the woman while the female office worker and male office worker in the end perceive it as an actual human being.>>291019360
>>291025417I thought that was their corpses and hollowed out skeletons. Faces and sequences are hard to follow in this.
>>291025417>>291025507It's both. The lure is a school of fish eating the corpse of the previous victims such that it creates a human figure.
>>291025032Sorry, it's too old for me to delete. Please just report my post.
>>291018957The whole black thing is a pupil?
>>291019246SPNSOR-KUN GET DOWN!
>>291019390Thanks OPI think her father is dead, right? Considering what happened during the open door gray
>>291020652Only if you are friends
>>291022221Well we'll bring it up when it comes up 100 chapters later.
>>291020411He gets better at it. This is much better than early Attack on Titan volumes anyway.
>>291019175It is baffling that Daidai is unmarried. A sympathetic man would have locked her into a household years ago.
>>291029224She would burn down your house, no thanks.
>>291029232There'll probably be buried treasure in the ashes though.
>>291029209I mean it works for entities, but when I can't tell if the weird face is because it's an inhuman monstrosity aping a person to lure food or the mangaka drawing a weird face it's a little less convenient. Like the SUCKY-SUCKY faces at the end that make her look like she's been eaten and replaced by walking fish piles.
>>291019378My fishe would never be so mean
So whose idea is the backyard tour?It's not clear if the actual aquarium management is behind it or if it's something unofficial
>>291030063I wouldn't worry about it. 30k from shmucks that won't ask for a refund? Hiring part timers at 1k/h? Management don't care. And the senior is clearly being used to lure victims anyway
>>291030063Given Fisshu can somehow communicate with those enthralled with her, I bet it was probably her idea. >>291018945
>>291029224You can't contain Daidai
>>291030116But I want to know if management is aware of fisshu and is enabling her shit or this backyard tour is just some invention of a rogue employee or an employee who is currently being manipulated by fisshu and management doesn't know this thing is happening at all>>291030157That does seem like a possibility
>>291030324>if management is aware of fisshu>>291019055>>291019069Given the fish nerd employee knows, it's safe to assume the rest of the aquarium also knows and actively avoids that part.
>>291030548Well, 'knows' is relative. He might think that they are sneaking in to fuck the fish.
>>291029224I can't look at Daidai in a lewd manner. She's too precious.
More volume extras!
That's it for now.
>>291031932>>291031946Yume-chan sure is petty.I wouldn't want to become her enemy.
>>291032216Buddy Yume-chan.

>>291030714It's like looking at your toddler niece.>>291031915>"SHE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES!!"
>>291018878Wait, what? I thought her name was Kokuryu all this time. Am I as dumb as Daidai?
>>291018911Wow, is that the Black Carpet? /x/ would love this aquarium.
>>291019015Can someone give me a quick refresher hereDoes Hama's dream of traveling the world stems from her wanting to search for her missing father or is it her actual dreamI missed the previous storytimes
>>291019081>>291019095aww
>>291027377Depends on the definition of "dead".
>>291032906It is her actual dream
>>291032945Thanks
>>291019232smug yume
>>291031932I can't believe Kokuryu got turned into a doll...
>>291032307*fwip*
>>291027377As far as Hama knows, he is dead.That's what she told Yume.
>>291033080It's Kokuryo.

>>291031924Very sweet. Hope they're ok in the peaceful timeline too.
BAITO
They got the storytimer, it's over...
>>291041591Calling it peaceful is a bit of a stretch since gray related deaths and eternal torment are confirmed to still exist in it.

>>291044776pretty surei ts a guro manga

>>291044084rip previous janitor, we hardly knew ye
>>291044239My guess for the initial promise was between a teacher and a student (possibly akari) to always be there for them, interpreted as 'Be in school everyday'. But the teacher didn't go to school on Sunday because it's the weekend and died.And that's how it spread from there, another teacher got roped into it, who roped another teacher, and so on. Then one teacher got a student to make the same promise to delay it if they couldn't get a janitor.
>>291044116Obviously it's Super Seriously Rare
>>291044208>My teacher was kinda weird, he would never show his feelings>Also he had a giant hole for a face but that's circumstantial really

>>291043823>>291043833I don't understand, what promise did she asks them to make?Why are they calling it a curse? Aren't they offering something?
>>291050134The promise is that they'll work as janitors for a week
>>291050049Nah, I can handle it, I'm built different
Always check it out.Always be curious.If you hear a sound go look into it.If you see a shadow track it down.if you see long featureless creatures near you talk to them.
For an SCP -like manga, i feel like this manga lack Information Hazard-like Gray
>>291044245This case was a cool twist on the usual horror scenario where everything bad could've been avoided if the characters just left the place.
>>291051477what youm ean that destroy the enviroment?
>>291051477We do have at least 1 or 2
>>291044245I don't get it.
>>291052445don't break promises
>>291052570what if your promise is, "I promise I will break this promise"?
>>291047227I thought the same thing, but I still think about Akari and her role?- She seemed the only one to see Icho-San- She was the only child to socialize with the girl There is the black-haried child, but she seemed off-time respect Akari. Even the past janitor seemed to not react at her presence. Even the four children in the last pages.>"Everyone knows there's something off, but... they all pretend there's nothing wrong... I'm really sick of that sort of atmosphere"- She didn't care about being late in the classroom.- She repeated always about not quitting.- The protagonists noticed Akari being scared.- The school wasn't drawn in when the children found "no school"Or Araki was the "ghost" of the first studentOr Araki was the student that added "Janitor clause" and now she will die Or Araki was a sort of part of Ichi-san.Or "all the school" was a "something" like the office of the second storyHowever, from these first chapters, i have the idea that is useless to make many questions of the rationality or cause-effect connections in this story. I should enjoy the creepy Japanese version of The Twilight Zone without making too much questions or I will die.
>>291052671Then it just kills you outright for trying to be smart
>>291051477Later on the girls will unlock A and S rank Gray missions, wait a bit. There are just the warm up.
>>291051477Anon we're only just beginning.
>>291043815Ben Drowned???
>>291044208Wait why isnt she dead too?
>>291053938Most of the students were ever part of the chain. The teachers prefer to use janitors that aren't aware of the rules. Whenever the teachers need to use a student for the weekly sacrifice, they somehow make sure the student dies rather than continue the chain.
>>291051477According to the Compendium, the medical experiment one is a cognitohazard. The briefcase as well.
>>291055156That makes no sense. Wouldn't the rest of the chain die too if the student died?
I don't understand, why did a bunch of people at a time die when I thought only one rule breaker had to die?How did they even get students to make a promise?
>>291057060From what i understand, its like>Someone quit the job>During the time until the due date, teacher hiring other to do the job>After the due date, Gray kill the one who quit the job, and would kill the next one in queue instanly, but due to another promise, its put on hold
>>291057179But they say the janitors quit, not that they all die. The janitor dude only died on saturday, when they kept the promise.
>>291043815Funny in hindsight that all of that was just the teachers dressing up and pranking him.
>>291057344Scooby doo episode
Bump
>>291055609>>291057060>>291057179>>291057312It works like this:>A makes a "promise">if A keeps the promise, nothing happens to A>if A breaks the promise, A has a few days to make someone make a promise, or else A dies>A makes B make the promise>if B breaks the promise, either B dies and A as to find C to start another chain or B has to find C to keep the chain going (not sure about this part because it doesn't happen in the story, the teachers keep the curse a secret)>if B keeps the promise, A is fuckedBasically if you break a promise you can only buy time by sacrifying others.

>>291064099I'm not so sure about that. The fact that Yume started smelling black and tried to get away ASAP makes it seem like they would have been caught in the plane crash even if they didn't look at his face.
>>291067772I think it's that at a certain distance, he could force someone to see only his face if they were to turn and face him.Like in >>291061753 ....Is what I thought initially until I looked at that page again and say that the guy was clearly further away from Azuma than the two.>>291066065An amendment.

This was a sad one but it's good, and really important for the story overall.
