Hajimete No Aku 39

Sorry it's a bit late, but I've been playing Pokemon Gintama (Soul Silver to the uninformed,) and Nostalgia hits with a Falcon Punch. (Especially since now I know enough Japanese to play it without waiting for the English version next year.)


HAJIMETE NO AKU

Kyouko: Geez...

(Sfx- Chun chun tweet tweet)

Jiro: What's the matter Kyouko?

Kyouko: Oh, it's you Jiro.

Have you had a look at the Electric bill this month?

(Sfx- Pira fwap)

Jiro: Electric Bill?

(Electric billing statement. Name: Watari-sama, $547.13.)

(TN- That's really all that's relevant to the story But geez that's high.)

Jiro: What's with this American like price hike...!!

(Sfx- Gaku gaku Shiver shiver)

Kyouko: It's not a price hike I assure you. It's the same 5 units as always.

Maybe this has to do with 2.0 chan...?

2.0: M—Me?

(Sfx- Kafu kafu kafu chew chew chew)

(Handwritten- Little bone.)

Jiro: It seems that way......now what can I do about this..?

HAJIMETE NO AKU

(Black box- The hot girl compilation comedy!!)

(Side text- The newest Volume #3 hits stores November 18th!!)

(Middle text- There's actually quite a disproportionate amount of hot girls in this manga...)

(TN- Not for me!)


Chapter 39: For benefit of the Watari house!!

FUJIKI SHUN

003

Jiro: Who knew she had that kind of blind spot...

Kyouko: 'Mornin.

(Sfx- Gara clatter)

Aki: No means no!

Yuki: And I've got after school clubs to attend.

Akagi: C'mon! Can't you help us a little?

Aki: Nope!

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Kyouko: What's up?

Yuki: Ah, Kyouko-chan.

004

Yuki: We were just having a conversation on how Aki-chan's got great boobs, but better legs.

(Handwritten- It was really erotic.)

(Handwritten- Are you stupid?!)

Aki: We were talking about the Miss Con thing!!

Jiro: Miss Con?

(Handwritten- Good morning.)

Akagi: It's a contest where the hottest person in school is decided

The Culture festival is coming up soon.

And during that time, they'll be holding the Miss Con contest.

It's a hallowed tradition dating back ten years.


The girl, or 'Miss' with the most fans vie against each other.

For you see, the one who turns the most heads is destined for historic popularity.

There was even a past 'Miss' who grew up on my street.

Kyouko: Wow, that's pretty amazing.

Akagi: I thought I'd try to recruit one of these fine ladies,

But if you have someone else in mind, I'd be happy to hear it.

(Handwritten- Judgment panel member.)

005

Aki: Why not ask Kyouko then?

You guys are the members of her fanclub.

Kyouko: Huh?

Akagi: What are you talking about? Only we're allowed to bask in the glory and love that is Kyouko-san.

We can't have outsiders taking her from us.

Aki: …..I guess?

Yuki: I guess that means that even Kyouko-chan gets passed over.

Kyouko: Yep, Not that I'd stand a chance anyway.

Jiro: More importantly, we have the matter of our electric bill to discuss.

There is no time for pointless---

Akagi: I should mention that we've been given fifty thousand by supporters to give away to the winner..

(Sfx- Kururi spin)

Jiro: Watari Kyouko would like to enter.

Kyouko: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

006

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

2.0: Ah-.

(Sign- 10th annual Miss Contest.)

(Highlighted name- Watari Kyouko.)

2.0: Miss Con? I'm not familiar with the term, but I'll do my best!

Jiro: 'Atta Girl 2.0!

Kyouko: Why do I have to wear this....?

Jiro: There's no other way.

We have to do this for the electric bill.

2.0: My deepest apologies Kyouko-sama.

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

007

Aki: Wow! She's like Kyouko with boobs!

Midoritani: No, she's like a different person!

Akagi: And Kyouko's in a delicious maid outfit!

Kimura: They're both awesome!!

Yuki: Let's enter them both!

Kyouko: Shaddup!

Jiro: All right! Let's do this 2.0! We must aim for the top!

(Sfx- Bishii)

2.0: Understood! I'll render all of them powerless!

Kyouko: Hold on!!

???: Hohohohohoho!!!

???: You really believe that you have what it takes to aim for anywhere other than the bottom?

(Handwritten- Hail Minorin! Hail Minorin!)


Kyouko: Who's that?!

???: A beautiful body matched with a pure soul!!

(Sfx- Poyon boing)

(Tn- Lady, you're anything but pure when you get your own 'poyon' SFX.)

???: Nice body and awesome spirit!

This school's true Idol!! Yamashita Minori,

Is here!!

008

Minori: Do you think that you can beat me, Miss Flagpole----

(Sfx- Baaaan Fwaaash)

(Handwritten- Hail Minorin! Hail Minorin!)

(On flag in back- Minorin)

(On fan in front- Festival.)

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

(Sfx- Boyooon boooing)

Minori: Whaaat?

Jiro: What do you want, Yamashita Minori?

Minori: H—Hmph! I take it that you're here at the Miss Con because you've got your eye on my seat as the school's idol huh?

Anyone that has to use something to puff up her breasts,

Isn't a match for me!

(Sfx- Zaaaatsu swiff)

009

(Sfx- Pekori bow)

2.0: Are you one of Jiro-sama's colleges?

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Minori: Uh?!

Guy: She's got great manners...!!

(Sfx- Zawa zawa Hustle bustle)

Guy: Is she entering the Miss Con as well?

Akagi: We've got her henchman's attention, and it only took a moment!

Three: We got 'em good!

Kyouko: Whoa!

Minori: Watch yourself cat burglar!

When we meet again, I'll make sure you regret this!!

(Sfx- Dodododododo tmptmptmptmp)

Jiro: Yes! That's the way 2.0!!

2.0: I don't get it, but understood!

(Sfx- Pekaaaa pppit)

010

{And so the primaries began.}

(Handwritten- Please teach me the ropes~)

{The selection was whittled down until only five girls were left.}

{During one part of the selection process,}

{2.0 ended up destroying a wall, almost bringing down her chances for victory, and the school.}

{Jiro followed this mishap with one of his inventions, and somehow managed to save the day.}

{Mimesis light. Can produce a lifelike movie image.}

(Handwritten- I'll just fix this later.}

(Handwritten- R—Really?)


{After that, 2.0 ended up serving tea just as she always does, an act that won the Judges hearts.}

(Handwritten- Please take some.)

(Handwritten- Oh thanks...)

(Handwritten- Thanks for the tea.)

011

{What really stole the show was 2.0 wearing Kyouko's swim wear.}

(Handwritten- It's tight....)

(Handwritten- Is that cleavage for real?!)

(Handwritten on sign- Pass)

{Although she had been no more different than usual, 2.0 took first place during the primary.}

(Handwritten- I won?)

Kimura: You're awesome!

Aoki: Not bad!

Minori: Damn you Watari Kyouko!!

{2nd.}

Kyouko: I would have never dreamed of coming to a selection like this...

Much less winning....

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Kimura: All that's left is the real thing!

(Sfx- Waaa!!)

Aki: We'll be cheering you on!! Good luck!

Akagi: It's about to begin! Everyone's waiting for you!

012

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)


(Sfx- Gin gin glaaaare)

2.0: They're really enthusiastic about this.

Akagi: Yeah!

(Sfx- pushuu pushuuu fwooo fwooo)

2.0: Then I will do my---

(Sfx- Pushuuuu fwooooosh)

Jiro: 2.0?!

Their enthusiasm caused you to overheat?!

I know you're weak to heat, but this is ridiculous!

Akagi: They're going to start NOW Akuno!!

Jiro: There's no time to repair her now...!

013

Jiro: There's no other way!

(Sfx- Guuu Graab)

(Sfx- Batsu Fwish)

(Sfx- Washi washi rub rub)

(Sfx- Chaaa fwap)

Jiro: I'll do it!!

(Sfx- Dooooon Booom)

Kyouko: Who the hell are YOU supposed to be?

Jiro: You.

(Sfx- Kisha hissss)

(Handwritten- Okay, I'm ready.)

Kyouko: Are you insane?!


(Sfx- Gugugugugugu grnnnnnd)

Jiro: Don't stop me Kyouko!

It's my fault that your family is being driven into the poor house!

I have to pay you back, no matter what it takes!

Kyouko: I said STOP!!

(Sfx- Gotsuu Twhok)

Jiro: Ngh?!

014

Kyouko: I'll do it!

Since 2.0-chan gave her all,

The least I can do is to try my best too.

But don't get your hopes up or anything.

I'm terrible at these things.

(Sfx- Gozo gozo rustle rustle)

Jiro: Then try this!

Confidence booster RZ!!

(Bottle- Confidence RZ)

Jiro: Drinking this will give you confidence to spare!

There'll be nothing that you'll fear..

Kyouko: Well, I have to admit I am nervous,

But It's not like this stuff will change me into 2.0...

015

Jiro: What are you saying?! I have high hopes riding on you!

What better place than this to show that you're the world's most confident woman?!


Kyouko: Wha---Listen, don't say things like that! You just cause misunderstandings!!

(Sfx- Nyah nyah Sneer sneer)

Kyouko: Fine! I'll drink the stuff! Happy?!

(Sfx- Hyoi wiff)

(Sfx- Gokyuuu siiiip)

Minori: I knew you were using one of his inventions!

And now, everything will go according to my plans!

016

Minori: I thought something was weird about this!

But it turns out that all you did was make your boobs bigger.

Now your advantage over me is gone!!

Kyouko: No! That's not it!

Minori: There's no point in denying it now! I've got your secret and with it, all the advantages I need!

Not even a diabolical scheme can save you now!

Urrk.

Kyouko: Yamashita-senpai?

Minori: Fu-l-l of confid-ence...

(Sfx- Yurari wobble)

Kyouko: Huh?

Minori: I'M FULL OF CONFIDENCE!!!

(Sfx- Muhaaaa)

017

Minori: I've got something amazing to show all of you!!

(Sfx- Datsu dash)


Kyouko: Senpai?!

(Sfx- Zatsu swiff)

Minori: How about I put on a real show for you?!

(Sign- 10th annual Miss Mitukeouka Contest.)

(Sfx- Zawa- Hustle)

People: Huh?

Minori: Take a peek!!

(Sfx- Gabaaa)

Someone: Auuugh!! Someone stop her!!

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

(Sfx- Bata bata thump thump)

Jiro: Hmm...so drinking too much of my invention turns confidence into OVER confidence huh...

Kyouko: Hmmm my foot!

(Sfx- Waaaaaaa....)

018

(Paper left side- Yamashita Minori's huge appeal upheaval!!)

(Spiky bubble- Grand victory!)

(Other side- Her fanclub as they cart a half naked Minori off stage. 2Nd, place went to Sakurasaka-san, while third went to Watari-san.)

Yuki: Nice work Kyouko-chan! Third place!

Kyouko: Yeah, but we only got two hundred thousand out of it.

(Sfx- wai wai)

Jiro: I suppose we can let Yamashita Minori bask in her victory.

Kyouko: But the real lifesaver was allowing 2.0 to get a job working for Aki.

(Handwritten- Welcome~)


Aki: I have to thank you for recommending her in the first place!

Jiro: Earning money the honest and steady way really is the best...

How about you and I slowly but steadily take over the planet then?

Kyouko: How about you keep your stupid comments to yourself?

Minori: Thanks a lot Watari and Akuno! I won, but I feel like a total loser!!

Fans: Although we owe you one Akuno-kun....

(Side text- No matter the place, seeing a little bit of 'that' always ups appeal!) (Editor.)
