Queen Sensei's Infirmary (女王先生の保健室 Joō Sensei no Hokenshitsu?) is the one hundred seventy-fourth chapter of the Dandadan manga series.
Summary[]
Surprised to find Queen also within Empty Space, Momo suspects her to be the enemy. Koki falsely accuses Jiji and the others for assaulting her to Queen, leading to the nurse expressing her strict no-bullying policy and demanding that the true culprit reveal themselves after taking her word. Jiji refutes Koki's accusation, informing Queen that it was Koki who initiated the assault. Yet, when Queen remains skeptical that Koki could be the aggressor, Jiji faces a dilemma in persuading her and seeks Momo's help. Momo reassures Jiji that he doesn't need to lie because she knows that he is a good person and encourages him to communicate openly in this situation. Bamora then steps in trying to clarify that Momo was the one who was attacked. After Queen inquires about the victim's whereabouts, Momo attempts to call out to Queen, but her efforts are unsuccessful. Jiji asserts with conviction that the woman he cherishes is the one who suffered harm and then questions Koki about her motives for targeting her. Koki accuses them of lying, stating that all of them together attacked her after she was alone and requests for Queen to punish them. Queen approaches Koki, gently pushes her hair aside to examine her injuries, and remarks on the contradiction in Koki's earlier statement about not knowing Jiji. In an attempt to conceal her lie, Koki hastily claims that she wishes she could erase him from her memory because she finds him intimidating. In line with Koki's narrative of being attacked en masse, Queen comments on how odd this was the case when she is surrounded by larger numbers, disclosing to Momo and the rest that she can see the pygmies. Queen then shares with Koki that she often listens to students' confessions, which eventually led to her seeing spirits due to some seeking her advice on spiritual matters, and assures Koki that she won't judge her as a bad person until she tells her the truth about what happened. Touched by her words, Koki confesses that she was the one who attack Momo and apologizes for her actions. While Momo accepts her apology and is willing to hear her out, Queen responds by slapping Koki, much to Momo, Jiji, and Bamora's shock. This then prompts Jiji and Bamora to try and stop Queen from assaulting Koki any further.
Koki confesses that she was coerced by a teacher to stab Momo with a knife to avoid having her secret social media account exposed but tells them that she can't seem to remember who the teacher was. While Aira believes that Koki covering for the teacher, Momo recalls the time when Unji told her of his similar experience with a certain individual who aided him with the cursed trunk, leading to Okarun to believe that it's the same culprit. Koki also clarifies that her assignment was not to kill Momo but to steal her power.
