Frog Ramen (3)

Wamien: I-It can’t be!! That little brat’s magical device…

It activated!!

It’s a fluke!! It HAS to be!!

Shunpei: If you’re so sure about that, how about we test it out on your face a few times?

I’m ready, and there’s plenty more where that came from!!

Wamien: Nuuuh!!

You uppity little human!! I’ll rip you into pieces!!

You’ll wish that you’d never met a magical doll like me!!

Now let’s see…

003

Wamien: If you can handle the FULL power of my ‘Heaven’s bowl!’

If you can’t handle this, you’re asphalt!!

004

Wamien: Whatsamatter?! Too busy shivering in fear to talk?!

Nuhahahahahahahahahah!!!

Pacqua: To think he has this much strength…!!

This magic is….

Wamien: Ready to be bludgeoned my brat pack enemies?!

Hyde: Shun…!!

Shunpei: Don’t worry about it!
Just go right on believing in me Hyde!

That’s the only thing I need you to do right now!

005

Hyde: No problem.

Wamien: Just to let you know….

It’s too late to cry or apologize!!

Shunpei: Your ‘Heaven’s bowl’ is a ‘bludgeoning’ power that may have no equal,

But my magic…

Takes the enemies fist and turns it right back at him! So the size of the attack doesn’t matter!

Some guys like you have to learn the hard way….

That the bigger they are, the harder they fall!!

006

Shunpei: Catch!!!!

Wamien: Nngahaa!!!

Impossible!!!

Shunpei: And now…..

007

Shunpei: Release!!!!

Wamien: Gyaaaaaaaah!!!

008

Pacqua: A—Amazing!!

My Magical device….

He’s mastered it completely!!

Wamien: H—how is this….

That guy….how…?!

He’s broken my pride into little bitty pieces…

Cr—crap!!

While I’ve been messing with him…

I’ve passed three minutes and gone back to normal!

I can’t do anything in this state….!!!

I have to hurry up and broil some more water!!

Then I can go back to hulk mode and squish those kids underfoot!!

What the?!!

The hot water!!

My hot water! Where is it?!

009

Wamien: I have to calm down!!

Soon I’ll get some more water…

And then I’ll claim my revenge!!

Hyde: Shun my boy…

Are you satisfied?

Because I’d say my turn just came up.

Shunpei: Yeah.

The floor’s all yours Hyde.

010

Shunpei: Oh yeah!

Hyde that’s right!

I’ve been itching for a time like this to come up!

Hyde: What’s that?

Shunpei: To be honest….

I’ve always wanted to say it…

Your catchphrase.

Hyde: Do what you want.

Shunpei: Wamien!

Wamien: What is it?!

Can’t you see I’m a little busy?!

The hot water will be ready in a moment, and then I’ll give you an express ticket to hell!!

So just wait right there for a minute!!

Shunpei: I would wait around,

But something tells me that we won’t be getting that rematch in this world.

Because your pot is…

011

Shunpei: Not plugged in, is it?

I guess this lesson was too heavy for you small fry!

Smell ya later!!

012

{TEXAS CHAINSAW!!!!!}

013

014

Che-che: Terrible!

I’ve never had such terrible ramen.

And to think this shop calls this garbage food?

It would be so much better if I had Closer Shunpei’s heart on a platter….

It’s not so bad though, since I’m sure I’ll have Closer’s power soon enough!!

In any case,

Wamien sure is late…

Guy: ‘Scuse me,

Is the butto ramen for four ready yet?

Waitress: Uh..

Yes!

I’m so sorry! Here’s your order!!

015

Waitress: Whoops.

(Sfx- GYAAAAAAAHHHHHH)

Tatsumi: Shunpei-Kun!!

016

Shunpei: Tatsumi-san!

Shindou-senpai!

Tatsumi: We were we too late to stop the enemy magician from getting away!

Shindou: Moreover….

Are your wounds all right?

Shunpei: Yeah!
I had an X-ray and everything, and turns out nothing serious was broken.

Tatsumi: That’s awesome!!

I was afraid with your luck you’d end up becoming a vegetable or something like that!!

(Handwritten- In incredible pain)

Tatsumi: I was worried to death over you!!!

Oh noooooo!!!

I’m soo sorry!!!

017

Tatsumi: And?

Did you perfect it?

The ‘Catch’ and ‘Release’?!

Shunpei: You bet!

Thanks to everyone’s help!

Tatsumi-san! Shindou-Senpai! Tomiko!

Thank you so much for training me day in and day out!

Hyde!

Thanks a lot for believing in me until the very end!

Hyde: Don’t thank me Shun my boy!

You’re becoming a fine man on your own!!

And last but not least is Pacqua-san…

Pacqua: Hn?

018

Shunpei: Thank you…

For creating such a convenient device, and lending it to me.

Because of you Pacqua-san…

I’ve managed to become just a little bit stronger….

So please…

Don’t say that you’re going to stop being a device saleslady…

Anymore okay?

Pacqua: Closer-san?

019

Pacqua: Do…Don’t…

Don’t thank me! I didn’t do anything!!

It’s because you never backed down that it worked out!!

I’m useless! I couldn’t help at all!!

H…uh?

Shunpei: Pacqua-san?

Pacqua: So—Sorry….!!

I….

I don’t know what to do….

I’ve never been thanked for one of my devices before…..

But…

It’s so nice to hear….

Sorry….

So sorry….!!

020

Tatsumi: There’s no need to be embarrassed! Just say ‘you’re welcome!’

Shindou: I’m afraid I should be the one apologizing to you.

I’m sorry for my rude remarks yesterday….you keep a fine shop.

Shunpei: Pacqua-san…

It’s a pleasure doing business with you!
