Chapter 28

**Everyone was a Baby at Some Point** (みんな昔はベイビーだった *Minna Mukashi wa Beibī datta*) is the twenty-eighth chapter of the *100 Kanojo* manga.

## Summary

Hakari comments on how her mother had a stern personality and authority when she was raised as a child, but since meeting Rentarou, she’s completely changed from the mother she once knew.

Hahari exclaims that she made baby clothes for everyone and that she’d like everyone to try them on. Rentarou says that he’ll try not to disappoint and attempts to put his foot in one of them, but Hahari stops him quickly out of fear of them tearing. She then asks Kusuri if she has a “become a baby drug”, which Kusuri confirms, and claims she also has enough “neutralization drug” for a safe experiment. She mentions that those transformed would have to stay as a baby for an hour to prevent an overload of stress on the body and death, which sparks a negative reaction from the girlfriends. Hahari sobs from the groups negative reactions, which causes Hakari to yell at her, saying that she should stop acting childish in front of the others and that she should consider her daughter’s feelings. Hahari quickly stops crying, agreeing that her daughter is correct and that she should start considering her feelings. However, she completely misunderstands Hakari’s point, stating that while she is everyone’s mommy, she is Hakari's above all else. Kusuri, sensing the tension between the two of them, tries to diffuse the situation by tossing the “become a baby drug” for a cat on the roof to fetch. The cat doesn’t fetch the drug, causing it to smash on the rooftop, creating an explosion.

Rentarou manages to grab Hakari and avoid the explosion. The two look towards the aftermath to see the rest of Rentarou’s girlfriends now transformed into babies. Rentarou exclaims that they should dress up the group in Hahari’s baby clothes, as it’s immoral for him to look at them all in their birthday suits. Once dressed up, Rentarou picks up Hahari and calls her adorable and an angel, before calling the rest of the babies angels as well. He reaffirms with Hakari that the two of them will have the take care of the group as they can’t transform back for an hour.

Baby Shizuka dashes away the group scared, Rentarou running after her. He grabs her and lifts her up, telling her she shouldn’t run as its dangerous on the roof, but quickly sees her petrified face. He reassures her that he’s not going to eat her, cradling her to comfort her. Baby Kurumi looks at Hakari’s chest in awe, then bites one of her nipples through her clothes and sucks on it, sending waves of pleasure through Hakari. Baby Nano nearly makes her way out the roof exit but is apprehended by Rentarou before she can open the door. Once picked up through, she jabs him in the eyes with her hand, causing him to roll around in agony. Baby Kusuri is playing with her drugs and nearly drinks the “neutralization drug” but is stopped by Rentarou before she has a chance to. Baby Shizuka tries to make another getaway, but Rentarou runs after her with Baby Nano and Kusuri in tow. Baby Karane begins to suck on Hakari’s other nipple, causing Baby Kurumi to try and push her off. The two begin to have a fight which results in Hakari accidently raising her voice, causing the two of them to start crying. She tries to calm them down by tempting them with her boobs again, but neither of them stop crying, resulting in Hakari thinking about how hard comforting a child is. Baby Hahari starts to climb up Hakari’s back and ends up tugging her hair, causing her pain. The screaming combined with the pain pushes Hakari over her limit, and she begins to form tears, but she is comforted by Baby Hahari stroking her on the head.

Baby Kurumi and Karane start to struggle in Hakari’s hands, making her lose her grip and dropping them. Before they can hit the ground however, Rentarou dives in and catches the two of them by their heads, smacking his face into the ground and making a funny noise. They start laughing at the noise he makes, which gives him an idea. He continues face planting into the ground and making funny noises for a while until everyone but him and Hakari are asleep from laughing too much. Rentarou cuddles a sleepy Nano, calling her an angel, and Hakari looks at her sleeping mother, prompting Rentarou to wonder if Hahari felt the same way they do. Hakari asks if he is referring to her having to raise Hakari at a young age and go through similar hardships, but Rentarou corrects her, saying that Hakari was the reason Hahari was saved, and that she was likely an angel when she was younger as well.

Hahari immediately starts sobbing when she turns back to normal, as she was unable to see everyone as a baby due to being turned herself. Hakari approaches her and apologises to her for what she said prior to the baby incident. Hahari apologises back to her and tries to talk about Hakari’s feelings, but she interrupts her, saying that its ok. Hakari comments that she’s never seen her mother as full of life until now, and that meeting and loving Rentarou has allowed her to start loving herself again and let her guard down. She tells her mother to not hold herself back and that she should be the way she is. The two have a heartfelt moment, but Kusuri casually mentions that she has some backup “become a baby drug”. This causes Hahari to quickly turn back to normal, begging for them to use them as she wants to change everyone’s diapers. Hakari then takes back her statement and asks her mother to have some self-control, but Hahari says that cooldowns periods don’t apply to her.
