Volume 14 Bonus Chapter: My First Ee Hee Hee
This is a story that even Rin herself doesn't remember.
One evening, Rin's parents watched a movie when Rin was just a few months old. As her father comments on a violent scene, Rin giggles. Her mother thinks it's adorable, but her father is confused, wondering if the violent scene caused it.
Just to be safe, he changes the channel to a magic show where a woman is about to be sawed in half. Rin giggles again, and her father is convinced. Worried that this will hinder her upbringing, he bans anything violent from the household. He switches the channel to something child-friendly, but Rin has a gift for intuing violence.
We get a montage of her father banning things like Snow White, matryoshka dolls, bags shaped like stuffed animals, and even fights between elderly men.
Within a few years, Rin has grown into an honest and kind-hearted girl who no longer giggles at Snow White or magic shows. The efforts of Mr. Baio have paid off, but he laments that that girl is gone. As Rin's father, he loves her violence-loving smile as much as her others, but he is well aware that not everyone would feel the same way. He would certainly be happy if Rin met people who could accept her as she is, but she would surely endure heartbreak until that day came. Still, he's confident that Rin will be just fine.
Rin's mother finishes reading Snow White to her, and Rin feels... something as she looks at the page of the wicked witch falling off the cliff to her death.
Tropes:
- Early Personality Signs: It's revealed that Rin has always had an affinity toward violent imagery. Her father did his best to repress it out of fear that society would reject her.
- Cool Teacher: Building off of Chapter 118's footnote that none of Naddy's students have complained about her because they like her too much, the extra page for the chapter reveals that her odd way of speaking not only makes class more interesting, but because the students have to pay closer attention in order to understand her, their grades have actually improved. During the period where Naddy has to speak properly, the students' engagement actually decreases.
- Shout-Out: The Chapter 122 bonus page shows a glimpse of the 3000 pages Rentarou spent searching for Meme, asking if this is Naruto.
