The Importance of Education

'The Importance of Education' is the fourth chapter of A Full-Fledged Gymnast.

Summary
A family reunion on a boat attended by General Hikoro was crashed by "Touhou extremist group" the Blue Band, promising to make the rest of the journey one of happiness and rest. While Horse School Horse and his crew were initially disappointed that they had to deal with the situation, upon reading the guest list they discovered that "expert killer" Edward Lake was aboard and they could therefore just go home, as there was nothing they could do to stop him.

True enough, Edward immediately began beating up and murdering members of the Blue Band, Alphonse Alex reassuring the onlookers that they were old and going to die anyway. When asked whether she was human, Edward responded that she was a boxer, and went to stop the fish.

Hikoro taunted the leader of the Band, Naked, telling him that it was "time to start thinking about going............ slimy." Naked responded by giving him some ointment and kissing him. Meanwhile, Edward ran across the top of the boat (being mistaken for a mouse and shot at) to reach and fix the engine. Once he got there, the workers in the engine car began beating the hijackers with very musical shovels, to Ed's approval. He began thinking about car deals; the Band did not know who he was (though they finally realized he was not a mouse), but could sense his confusion.

After purchasing both a car and a machine gun, Edward challenged "the hackers"; Naked told her to go ahead and try to hit him if she was able, but he knew that his relationship was stable. Ed responded by creating a faucet and flooding the entire car, quashing the Band's plans.

Back at the station, the siblings met up with Horse School Horse and Risa Hockey. The former proclaimed his dislike of Edward and then immediately became distracted by the beauty of Naked, whom he proceeded to set on fire, flirt with, and introduce himself to as a "hot alchemist", in that order.
