Hyde and Closer 28

You guys owe a big shout out to MBG who uploaded this volume! (And to me who asked her to!) Without that you'd be spending another hydeless night alone! Now on to the good stuff!!

Public service announcement; Since you really cant' see my signature on my translations, I figure I'll pimp it here. I have a new translator thread (Go me!) Located at: http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45800 Please feel free to ask me questions, thank me (I'd like this a lot! :) ) and yell at my translations (Yelling only permitted if followed by advice to improve.) Also if you have requests go there and make them. I really suck at checking PM so it's probably not wise to send requests there, but I check the thread a little more often. Oh..and for now requests are open if they follow the rules. (No Jump manga, Shoujo, romance, seinen, hentai or harem.) I'll probably post this notice on other translations for a week or two. Look forward to hearing from you!

ACT 28
GOSSIP

Shunpei: That's the school's pond...

I don't think you can go fishing there...

It's not a pool either....

Ana: Aaight!

I got somethin'!!

003

Teacher: Right now....

I'm looking at a pathetic bunch of students....!

Before I hand back your end of semester papers,

There are a few things I want to discuss with you...

Just what on EARTH is with these test scores?!

Did you even try!!

It's like you sleptwalk through these!!

Especially you three!!!

Shunpei: Ueeeeh!!

{Afro was disturbing people, so she was asked to sit in the back row.}

004

Teacher: Uryuu!

Tatsumi: Y—Yes sir!

Teacher: Do you think any college will accept you with grades like these?!

You might have great attendance to after school clubs, but how about paying more attention to the school before them?!

Ana!!

I know it's only been a few days since you came to Japan, and so you're not so used to things,

but what were you thinking writing this?!

(Handwritten Answer: I dunno. Answer: You think about it.)

Teacher: Are you ignoring your instructor~!!!

Ana: Ya~wn.

Teacher: And you Closer!!

I know you're incapable of getting answers right anyway....

BUT IS THIS A SIX?!

IS IT?!?!?!!?

005

Teacher: For you to be so TERRIBLE at writing your numbers,

I wonder what on earth you've been doing these thirteen years you've been alive?!

(Sfx- Hahaahahaahah! Are you serious?!)

Shunpei: Well that's yanno...

Um...I wasn't fully awake that day...

Teacher: You're pathetic....just pathetic...

I haven't seen such tomfoolery since I started teaching here...

Since that's how it is....

I guess we'll need to have an 'emergency' test for you tomorrow!

To measure your conduct up until now.

If you score anything under thirty points on this test,

You'll be seeing my face every day over summer break as I drill education into you!!

(Sfx- WHAAAAAAT?!)

Teacher: Shut it!

I'll do it! I'm serious!!

I don't accept patheticness!!

Shunpei: E—Extra lessons...

006

Shunpei: Wh—wh-what are we gonna doooo?!

We can't possibly pull that off!!

Tatsumi: To pull a test out of our heads by tomorrow is impossible!

Ana: Whatcha break'n into a sweat fer?

Is that extra lesson 'thing so bad for yall?

Tatsumi: What are you talking about?!

We're going to lose or precious summer vacation if we fail!!

That is the worst case scenario!!
It's almost as bad as being held over a pack of hungry sharks in the middle of the ocean with meat strapped all around you for days and nights on end! It's the absolute worse thing that could possibly happen to you!!

Ana: That do sound bad....

Shunpei: If that's the case....

We've got to rely on 'his' strength for this!

Tatsumi: Yeah!

Both: Sh---

SHINDOU-SENPAI!!!

007

Shindou: Hahaha..

Well if that's all you need,

I'll be glad to offer any help I can!

I may not look it, but give or take some deviation; I'm out doing 100 of this country's students!

Tatsumi: Give or take? He's really out doing 100 students...?

{Give or take, he's doing better than 100 students.}

Ana: Ya'll got a nice pad up 'n here though...

Ah wonda if you could fit 500 people in dis place?

Mekki: It's so soft!!

Ana: Ya serious? We can shoot pool 'ere?

Aaight! Hyde! Let's have a 'bout!

Hyde: Who needs that stick?

My manly arms do the trick just fine!!

Tatsumi: WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR?!

Shunpei: I know it's a surprise visit, but we don't have much time!

So please help us out quickly!!

008

Mekki: If that's the case, how about I accompany your studying with some music!

I'll put my all into cheering you guys on!!

All: I can't concentrate!!

Mekki: Sniffle hic-hic.....

009

{And so you substitute the X here.}

{Ah I get it!}

{Wow that's easy!}

Tatsumi: It's almost 7!

I think it's on today!!

Crap!!

Takakura Jin-sama's 'Number one man under the heavens' is about to start!!

Shindou-senpai! Please!!

Let me get an hour break to watch this show!!

Shindou: I don't mind, but I thought you had to study for this test that takes place tomorrow?

Tatsumi: Takakura Jin-sama is my body, blood, bones, soul and mind!

If I miss a minute of Jin-sama, Even if it's the sun I won't forgive it!!

I can't allow myself to miss one minute of the hotblooded action!!

010

Tatsumi: I'm sorry Shindou-senpai!

I need to take a minute off!!

Shindou: Well how about we all take a small break then?

Shunpei: Sounds good!

Ana: Break time!!!

(Handwritten- Man's Chivalry)

Jin: I'm gonna show you punks...

That hell's only lukewarm!!

(Handwritten- Hit 'em there!!)

(Sfx- Dokatsu bikiaaa 'smack! Thud!')

Tatsumi: Oh Jin-sama...!!

You were just as awesome today as you always are...!

Tomiko: This drama always brings tears to my eyes..

(Handwritten- Dometa's Summer Coming up next!_

Ana: Why don't we give this a watch?

Shunpei: Uh...but...

Tatsumi: Why not? We could use a little bit of free time!

011

???: Eugene..

(TN- lol Hyde even looks manly when he's trying not to cry.)

Ana: Ah! Now this program 'ere's right fine stuff!

We oughtta watch this one too!

(Handwritten- The stupid fist of love.)

(Handwritten- Be more serious will ya!!)

Shindou: I've been looking forward to this match!

(Handwritten- Pipa Cup- Final round match)

012

(Handwritten- OH NOOOOOOOO....)

Tatsumi: Geez! It's already this late!!
Shunpei: It was YOUR idea to watch TV in the first palce!

Ana: Might as well simmer down since it's this late!!

Pacqua: Ah...hello?

Shunpei: Pacqua-san?!

Pacqua: Sorry to bother you so late...

You all were so busy studying with Shindou-san, that you didn't hear me...so I just let myself in...

013

Pacqua: In any case, I made some snacks for you to eat!

Just in case you got hungry tonight!

Hyde: Now ain't that handy!

Shunpei: Thanks a million Pacqua-san!

Pacqua: It's what people eat late night in Japan! Onigiri!

Ana: Tain't too bad! It'll at least fill me up right good!!

Shunpei: Time to eat!!

Tatsumi: They're delicious!

Shindou: Yes! Exquisite!

Mekki: They're scary good!!

Pacqua: Really?

I'm so glad that I could be useful to everyone!!

Shunpei: But hold on...

I feel kind of weird...

Tatsumi: Suddenly I really want to take a nap...

Pacqua: ...E—Everyone?!

014

Pacqua: Ah..um...I don't know how to say this...

But it looks like I may have mixed in some 'sleepy cedar pollen' when I made the food..

I guess I didn't pay attention and made a mistake....

I'm sorry! Really sorry!

So very sorry! Sorry!!

I'm sorry that I was even born!!!

Shunpei: In the end, we only got a single hour of studying in all night...

Tatsumi: So long Summer vacation...

No wayy...

I'm gonna be eaten by sharks....

Pacqua: Aah...It was all my fault!! If I weren't here...

015

Pacqua: Shindou-san...are all of these...

'Devices' ?

Shindou: Yes.

My mother had an eye for them you see...she was very into occult divination, so she collected these.

Pacqua: Y—You have this?!

The 'Toyotomi mino shisshakan!'

(TN- Okay....it's like...quite a few kanji put together that don't make sense with one another. I could halfass a meaning, but Japanese sounds better.)

Mekki: What's that?

Pacqua: I've heard it's Shoutoku Taishi's most valuable 'device',

it's said it's what granted him his 'cleverness'.

Shoutoku Taishi was said to have the cleverness of ten scholars! And it's said he used this cleverness tool to get it.

With it, a person could keep all of their memories without having to worry about ever losing them.


016

Ana: If ya'll had somethin' like this, we coulda used it!

Pacqua: Ah!

Be careful! That device 'cleverness' is very delicate!

If you are too rough with it the consequences could be....

Ana: Who cares 'bout that!

Cleverness!!

Ooooaaaahhhhhh!!

Th—This is..

All dem problems Ah wasn't gettin* before...

Ah get dem now! And even more than that....!!

Wit dis, Ah can get back all mah lost time!!

Once ah'm done ya'll can give dis thing a swing ya hear?

Ain't no point in studyin' yasself to an early grave wit this thing!

Shunpei: Huh?

Y—Yeah....

Tatsumi-san, I'm sorry but,

I guess we don't have any choice but to take extra lessons!

(Handwritten- Maybe I should use that magical device too....)

017

Hyde: You sure that's what you want Shun my boy?

Shunpei: Huh?

Hyde: It's more meaningful to learn this stuff when you put effort into it.

Without that, there's no point in doing anything.

If even after you put effort it doesn't work out,

even if you gotta do those extra lessons in the end....

You'll know you gave it your all....doesn't that sit better with you?

Shunpei: As usual...

Hyde, you make a good point...

018

Shunpei: We've still got some time before school starts,

Why not just put our all into studying?

Ana: Fine then. Ya'll be the good kids.

Teacher: Kosai-sensei....

Fell ill with a sickness today and won't be in.

So he's postponed the date for your exams.

(Handwritten- YAYYYYYY!! HELL YEAHH!!!)

Shunpei: We---We're

We've been saved....

Tatsumi: Thank god....

Shunpei: This time though,

I'm gonna go home and study my butt off!

{And at that time, Ana who had abused the device found out the hard way,}

{The side effect was becoming an idiot for a while.}

Pacqua: I tried to tell you~~
