Hajimete No Aku 42

Save the last Dance for the diabolical genius...unless you want him to level the school. (Some guys get all the luck don't they?)

(Top text- The latest Volume #3 is out in stores~~!!)

(Side text- The day before Jiro's first Culture festival, and excitement is in the air~!)

(Black box- The villainous but kind comedy!)

Chapter 42: Sanyousai.

(TN- After extensive research, all I could find on 'Sanyousai' is that it's a school festival of some sort.)

002

(Side text- Boys and girls gather together as the time for the culture festival draws near!)

(Sfx- Wai wai!!)

Jiro: Up we go.

Midoritani: Just a little more to the right, Jiro-kun.

Jiro: Like this?

Midoritani: That's great!

(Sign- Class 1-4, Monster house.)

(Sfx- Baaaan baaan)

Midoritani: All right! It's perfect!

Aki: Awesome!

Jiro: Yeah!

003

Jiro: Excellent! The culture festival is tomorrow isn't it?!

It will be amusing to see how you civilians party!

Very good work!

Midoritani: Someone's excited....

Jiro: Is there anything else I can do?! I'm more than willing to help!

Kyouko: Calm down.


Yuki: It's totally understandable. Jiro-kun's never been to a culture festival.

Aki: I'm stoked about this whole thing too!

???: Tonight the school looks more like a haunted house!

(Sfx- Wai wai)

???: Yeah! It totally looks like a horror movie!

Kyouko: Yeah...really.

Aki: By the way...

004

Aki: Can you do something about him?

(Sfx- Gogogogogoo Rmmmmble)

(Sfx- Jiiii glaaaare)

Kyouko: Um, Kusakabe-san....

Gen: What? You were able to sense my presence?!

Kyouko: Very much so.

Jiro: Oh? If it isn't the wanna be hero.

Gen: Heheheh, you said it.

(Sfx- Suuuu wiff)

Gen: It's my job to fight against evil!

Which means as an ally of justice, I cannot stand idly by and allow your evil ways!

(Sfx- Guukyarururu fwissssh)

(Sfx- Dooooooon Baaam)

Gen: I haven't been able to eat rice in three days! For the happiness that is a complete breakfast, we must do battle!!

Kyouko: Are you really fighting for justice?

005

Jiro: Stay out of our way!! Do anything to interrupt the festival, and I'll remove you WITH FORCE!?

(Sfx- Katsu sheeen)

Gen: Not for all the rice in the world!!

(Sfx- Satsu swiff)

Kyouko: Geez!

Listen! If you two have time to argue, then you can take some cardboard and hang up some decorations!

We don't have the time or patience to hear you argue, so get moving!

Jiro: Why should I work with him!?

Gen: But I'm here for great Justice!

Kyouko: Your answer?

(Sfx- Girooo glaaare)

Gen: She's scawwwy.

(Sfx- Gaku gaku shiver shiver)

Jiro: I---I could have told you that.

Kyouko: Geez. There's nothing worse than useless men.

Yuki: But they're totally cute aren't they?

006

Akagi: Sorry, but we're fresh out of cardboard.

Jiro: What?

Akagi: Turns out we ended up overusing what we had.

Everyone kept asking for some, and now there's none left.

Gen: How could this have happened...

Jiro: I don't want to be kicked by Kyouko...

Aoki: But it's really strange....how could we have run out?

Akagi: The class has been taking them somewhere...

Jiro: What has happened to our cardboard?!

Gen: How unforgivable....

007

Gen: I can't forgive any sort of injustice!

The Justice in my blood boils at the thought of thievery!!

Leave everything to me!!

(Sfx- Baaan baaaam)

Jiro: Hey wait! Don't just leave me alone with this responsibility!

Akagi: He's a real fire cracker.

Guy: I dunno. We've been trying to get some ourselves.

Girl: Maybe someone didn't order enough.

Other guy: If you find some, can we use it?

BG guy: I'm sure someone's got some somewhere.

{Judo Club.}

Minori: I'm not giving you anything!

Everything that we have is for the Minori-club!

Guy: We're making Minori merchandise!

{Yamashita Minori.}

(Sign- Yamashita Minori Fanclub Stand.)

(Signs from left to right.- Maromaid Thousand yen, Sashii 5 thousand yen. Last one is too cut off.)

008

Jiro: Ngh...everywhere we go it's the same thing...

Gen: Hmm..


Don't you have an evil scheme or something?

Jiro: Should a Hero of Justice even ask that?!

Midoritani: So you couldn't find any-.

Yuki: I guess we can't do anything about it.

Midoritani: We'll have to make do with the one that we have.

Yuki: I suppose...

Girls: Whaaat?!

Aki: But we had already cut out the materials for a second one!!

Midoritani: We can't help it, there's only supplies for the one.

009

???: The neighborhood supermarket's probably got some.

???: But there's no time to go there and get back here in time.

???: Yeah, it's too bad...

Kyouko?: Well, let me go tell everyone.

Gen: I can't go, for if I leave, Justice will too!

Shizuka: Brother!

Gen: What's up Shiuzka?

What?

Aki: Guess we'll have to get some first thing in the morning?

(Handwritten- Shinonome-san, can you really act like a monster?)

(Handwritten- Yep! Just watch me!)

Kyouko: Hey Jiro! Let's go home.

Huh?

Jiro?

010

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmble)

Makoto: Welcome back brother!

(Sfx- Baaaan baam)

Forgot his name: How's this?! We built a new house!!

Shizuka: Akira and Makoto made a house out of cardboard...

Gen: Where'd you get that....?

Makoto: Don't worry! It won't fall even if it rains.

Shizuka: Mm....

Gen: Crap, I think I know...!

011

(Sfx- Zatsu swiff)

Jiro: So Justice's tail has been caught in the wind eh?

Well I figured you guys were behind this disruption of the festival...!

Now....how should I take care of you?!

Gen: N—No! It's not like that!

Akira: Bro....did we do something wrong...?

(Sfx- Gaku gaku shiver shiver)

(Sfx- Fuuuu wiibbble)

Gen: Everything is my responsibility!! Do as you wish to me!!

(Sfx- Oraaaah!)

Gen: Go on! Call the police! I'll take the heat for everyone!!

Shizuka: Brother!!

012

Jiro: I'm not interested in your pitiful stories!

Now get lost!

Kids make mistakes like these! It's no big deal.

But I'm very busy, so get out of my sight before I change my mind!

Gen: So—Sorry!!

Jiro: Although...

You could do one thing for me!

Gen: Huh?

013

(Circles- Sanyousai)

(Sfx- Cho cho tweet tweet)

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Kyouko: My oh my.

I thought it was weird he didn't come home...

(Sfx- Sukaaa snoooore)

014

Shizuka: The fact is we worked all night.

Jiro-san asked us to help, and we just barely managed to pull it off in time.

Sorry for being an annoyance.

Kyouko: Geez, why didn't he just tell us?

Yuki: He might be evil, but he seems more like a little kid.

(Sfx- Pinponpinpon dingdongdangdong)

Minori:Hello everyone! It's Misscon's first place winner Yamashita Minori!

015

Minori: Today's the day of the culture festival!!

Are things A-OK there?!

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

Minori: Even the sun's shining brightly for us today!

Everyone, have a lot of fun today!!

Aki: Sure 'nuff!

(Sfx- Bashi smack)

Minori: All thanks to Jiro-kun's hard work!

Everyone: Let's make this one perfect!

The time has come to start the 26th Sanyousai!!

LETS GO!!

(Sfx- Waaaaah!!)

016

Kyouko: Jiro....

Jiro...!

Jiro: Ngh?

Ah, Kyouko?

Kyouko: Sleep well?

(Sfx- Mozo wiff)

You'd better get moving if you don't want to miss the Camp fire.

Jiro: Camp Fire?

Kyouko: The Culture Festival is over...now we're throwing an after party.

Jiro: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?

017

Jiro: Why didn't you wake me up?!

Kyouko: Hey, I tried...but you wouldn't budge.

Jiro: N-No way...!!

(Sfx- Zuuuuuun dooooom)

Kyouko: Welll....I guess that it does suck you missed out,

But you still have time to see the after party's fireworks.

Since you did help out,

I suppose we could go to the dance together....

018

Midoritani: Hey! Jiro-kun's here!

Aki: He's finally up!

Akagi: It would have been problematic if you were any later!

Yuki: Jiro-kun, are you going to dance with Kyouko during the after party?

(Bottom text- Will Jiro be able to pull off a dance? Find out next issue!!)
