Hyde and Closer 13

Now that the project's ban has been removed *rimshot* I can get back to translating this great series! Here's 13!

Wolf: Koalasuke!

Hangin’ out here alone again? Good! ‘Cause I’m gonna eat ya!

Koala: Tasmanian Devilkichi!

I won’t let you lay a finger on this house!

Shunpei: Hyde….what are you watching?

Hyde: Huh? This?

‘The tale of Koalasuke.’ Or something like that.

It’s pretty good stuff.

Shunpei: Uh-huh….I see.

For someone who talks about being manly so much…

It’s weird to see that you like a kid’s television show.

MAGIC BAN REMOVAL!! HYDE AND CLOSER
Chapter 13: Gossip 2
ASOU HARO.

003

Shunpei: Snooore Snoore.

Hyde: Dang, I can’t sleep!

I know he’s got school in the morning, so he has to go to bed early..

But I can’t sleep this early.

Even if I stay awake though,

There’s not much to do is there?

What’s that?

004

Guy: Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhh

Gah..

Maaan…I’m not feeling so good.

I knew I shouldn’t have drank so much, but that stuff was great.

Hyde: Hey you there!

Guy: Huh?

Hyde: What are you doing there?

Guy: Whaaaaaaaat?! Who are you!!?

Hoooold on a minute. There’s no way that a teddy bear could be talking to me.

Damn, I guess I hit the sauce a little too hard.

Hyde: You’re dirtin’ up the front of my house with all of your noise.

Guy: Huuuh?

Who the hell do you think I am you little jerk?

005

Guy: I’m the man who can make crying brats shut up

The mad dog of the most feared third division!

Yakara Taizou-sama!

Hyde: Yakara-smakara,

All I know is that you’re an annoyance, and I’m gonna deal with ya.

Yakara: Aah!! OWOWOWOW!!!

My bad! My bad!!

Yakara: You’re not to bad bear!

But I haven’t even begun to get serious! Now it’s on!

Hyde: You’re one of them stubborn types ain’t ya?

Sorry pal, but you can just be an annoyance on your own.

Yakara: Hey….

If it’s cool with you, wanna get a drink?

006

Hyde: You’re packing heat?

Yakara: Yeah.

I’m going to take down a hit…

The guy ran away from the Bigumi 10 years ago, so it’s about time he got what’s coming to him.

(Handwritten- Maybe it’s just my age getting to me, but I’m sure that his friend is actually a stuffed bear…)

Yakara: This food’s so good it’ll turn your hair gray!

Hyde: Sounds like you’ve been through a lot.

Man Yakuza sound like they’re serious business.

007

Yakara: But I’m just lettin’ ya know it’s not like I’m scared of talking about guns and stuff, it just isn’t drinking conversation.

Hyde: So that’s how it is huh?

Though…

Are you really happy taking orders from someone else?

Yakara: You know…

I was thinking that getting injured and stuff isn’t any good.

This year I thought to myself that I’m not gonna stay on the bottom where I could get killed! I’m either going to rise up or get out.

(On cart- Oden)
Yakara: I may have found something…

My big chance to move up the ladder!

Hyde: Big chance huh?

Hey gramps, one more glass.

Old man: Y---Yeah.

Hyde: So what, you’ve got some babe waiting for you or something?

Yakara: Heheh, Well something like that..

008

Yakara: I do happen to have a lady waiting for me…and a daughter.

Furthermore she’s got two more in the oven…due any day now.

Our family’s gonna get pretty big soon…

That’s why I have to find away to become big quickly, to bloom you see!!

Hyde: You’ve got a family…

Well then..

Isn’t it about time to knock this dangerous stuff off?

For their sake you should start acting more responsible shouldn’t you?

Yakara: I know all of that without you telling me!!

009

Yakara: I know I can’t keep messin’ around with the Yakuza if I wanna keep my life.

But I’m a man!

I can’t live any other way than this! No matter how much I try to wash my hands they get dirty again!!

Sure I was young and stupid when I first decided to hook up with this gang,

When I got into the mob, the boss and the others kept lookin’ at me like ‘what’s HE good for?’

So I decided that I’m gonna rub someone out to prove that I’m useful!

Then those fools won’t be able to say that I ain’t worth nothing!

They’d know that I’m just as good as anyone else up in our mob!

It’s now or never!

If there’s something that has to be done, a man’s just gotta do it!

That’s right…

It’s all for my family!!

010

Hyde: Whaddya mean ‘for my family?’

Aren’t you just trying to act big?

It’s too funny.

Yakara: Wha---

What’d you say?

Whatcha tryin’ to get at?!

Hyde: If you really want to protect them…

You wouldn’t need to explain yourself with lame reasons like those.

You’d take the day you said you were going to..

And stay near them, embracing them with both hands. That’s what a REAL man would do.

What you’re doing now is just running around and being a punk.

011

Hyde: Quit messin around and get some self respect.

012

Yakara: Geh!!

Yakuza: Yakara-san, you’ve been up with the mob for a long time now.

How long are you gonna just coast by without doing anything?

Yakara: Damn…!!

I’m getting sick of this whole thing!!

Girl: Daddy!

013

???: What do you think you’re doing Taizou?

Yakara: Boss!!

I thought I’d find a sleezeball like you hanging out in a dump like this.

So, let me in on your thinkin’ process now.

‘Cause I’m pretty interested…you wouldn’t be thinking of trying to get out huh Taizou!

Yakara: It ain’t like that!

I was just…

It’s just that I had something I really needed to protect….yanno?

….Boss.

Yakuza: Huh?

014

Yakara: I’m gonna…

I’m gonna get clean.

Yakuza: Oooh man.

You made a big mistake…


All right then…

If you wanna get clean I’ll help ya’ Taizou!!

Hell!

I’ll clean you so good there’ll be nothin’ left!

Hyde: I get it…

Let’s make this quick then!!

015

Yakuza: Umph! Ow! Oof!

GYAHHHHH!!!!

Yakuza: ..B…Boss?!

Boss!!!

016

Hyde: If you’ve got a problem….

You boys can take it up with me!!

Yakuza: Wha..

This dude’s the real thing man!!

{Don’t notice Hyde standing below them.}

Yakuza: eeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaah!!!

Yakara: Yo—You…

Why’d you come?

017

Hyde: You forgot this.

Yakara: My Wallet?

I forgot my wallet huh?

Geez I dunno where my head be at sometimes…

Hyde: Heh….

You’re an annoying guy till the end.

Don’t go forgetting what’s important next time.

Yakara: Yeah…

018

Shunpei: Hyde, you’re watching that again?

Quit being such a kid!

Hyde: Really?

I got a story you need to hear…

Taz: Geez!!

I got beat up again!

Why can’t I beat you Koalasuke?!

Koala: Keep on coming, and I’ll keep sending you home!

I’ve got a family to protect!!

Hyde: Well Shun my boy….maybe it’s just too soon for you to understand.
