Hajimete No Aku 10

Although at first glance this chapter seemed to be a disappointment, (Especially after I read the title early on SS's site) it actually turned out to be pretty entertaining, and hint at some Kyouko backstory. I'm still hoping that Fujiki will come out of this 'hilarious and slightly perverted hijinks' stage of the manga...especially with this hint of what's to come.

HAJIMETE NO AKU.

002

(Side text- Tired Kyouko?)

Kyouko: Yawwwn---

(Sfx- furu furu Shake shake)

Kyouko: Nugh....

Jiro: What is the matter Kyouko? Unable to sleep last night?

Kyouko: Yeah, especially after that date failure.

More like it was what happened at the end of that date that kept me up all night...

Geez! That guy really surprised me.....

003

Kyouko: In any case, you sure saved me yesterday. Looks like Kujou got the hint and went home.

Jiro: Of course. A fool like him is nothing compared to me.

Kyouko: You're nothing but a fool yourself though.

Jiro: Huh?

Kyouko: Thanks for eve----

(Sfx- Zoro zoro shuff shuff)

Kyouko: Back up a little bit when you walk!

(Sfx- Kururi turn)

Jiro: Hm?

This again? The 'you can't hang out too close to me at school' rule?
Are you still going on about that?

Kyouko: Yes I am! And also don't forget that talking about the organization is taboo too!

That was a close one, I almost forgot the rules...

The last thing I need is another reason to be embarrassed at school.

(Sfx-Wai wai)

Kyouko: Oh yeah! Do NOT mention what happened with Kujou-san to anyone!

Especially not Yuki and the others----

(Sfx- Gara clatter)

(Handwritten- Far....)

004

Kujou: You there! You're ravishinig! Please become my lover!

Aki: Huh?!

Kujou: Oh my! Aren't you breath taking! From today on you'll be my mistress!

Yuki: No way!

(TN- I love her expression as she flatly refuses. It's been a long two chapters without you Yuki-chan.)

(Sfx- Wai wai!!)

(Sfx- Gan thunk)

Kujou: You...you're.....you can be a maid! How's that?!

Kyouko: Wh-Wh-Wha...why are you here Kujou-san?!

Akagi: Kyouko-kun!

You mustn't come here now!!

005

Akagi: This weirdo has appeared and has started making declarations on the girls in the class!

But there's no need to fear because the fanclub is----

(Sfx- Dododododo tmptmptmptmp)
Kujou: Oh! Kyouko-kun!

You're cute as usual today!!

(Sfx- Dokaaatsu thuuud)

Akagi: Ugh!?

(Sfx- Hiyoi wiff)

Kyouko: Just a second! Why are you here?!

Kujou: I transferred to the school!

(Handwritten- President!!)

Kyouko: Wha?!

Aki: Kyouko, this is another one of your acquaintances?!

Kujou: Now Jiro-kun, your advantage over me is no more!

There's no way I'll allow my Kyouko to become your bride Jiro-kun!

Because as long as I'm here I'll take any chance I can to woo her!

Kujou: Is what this lady here told me!

Eiko: Wassup?! I'm Eiko!!

(Sfx-Iyahoooi! Yahooo!!)

Kyouko: O---NE----CHAAAAAAN!!!

(Handwritten- YOU AGAIN!!)

(TN- Eiko's greeting is similar to the one Goku (Of DBZ fame) uses.)

006

Eiko: I wanted to keep an eye on him because he's fu---i mean for surveillance purposes!

Aki: I just heard her true intentions!

Eiko: It's all good though! If Jiro doesn't want you then....No, I mean now you've got two eligible men to choose from!

Kyouko: WHO SAYS I WANT THAT....?!

(Sfx- Mo-----*geez!!*)

Kyouko: Cut me some slack here!! I don't need all of this.....!

I just want some peace to make up my own fantasies!!

(Sfx- Gyuuuwaaaan)

Aki: W—Wait a second....Bride...?

Just now I'm pretty sure I heard him mention a bride?!

Kujou: Of course! Kyouko-kun will soon become my bride!!

And as such I have come to begin our lovey dovey high school life!!

(Sfx- Piki-n! Poit!)

(Sfx- Kururi spin)

Kyouko: GYAHHHH!!

Kujou: Well Jiro? What do you think of that?

Jiro: You mongrel! You still think you can take Kyouko from me?!

(Sfx- Kuwa spin)

007

Jiro: Have it your way! If you must continue this sharade, I'll destroy you with my full power!!

(Sfx- Ga ga wiff wiff)

Kujou: Hahahah! Try me if you can!!

Akagi: Get him Akuno! Aim for his eyes! His eyes!

Eiko: Takin bets here! Who do you think will win the smackdown?

(Sfx- Wai wai!!)

Aki: Kyouko! You can't leave him you know! You can't....!!

Yuki: What are your feelings right now!!

Kyouko: I'm telling you to hold on a minute!! I didn't agree to anything!

Student: What the heck is this?!
(Sfx- Zawa Zawa Zawa rustle rustle rustle)

Student 2: They're fighting over Watari!

Student 3: Really a fight over Watari-san?!

Student: Whoa so she's got two dudes to herself?!

Geez, who would have thought Watari was the type?

Kyouko: Ah...

Ugh....

(Sfx- Guri Guri spin spin)

Jiro Knock this off at once or......

008

(Sfx- Ban Smack)

009

Kyouko: Knock this off at once!!

Just leave me alone! All of you!!

(Handwritten- Ah...we've done it now...)

Yuki: Now now...Kyouko-chan....

Kyouko: Yuki! You should know that I hate this kind of stuff the most right!

Jiro: Kyou---

(Sfx- Paka Shmack!)

Kyouko: Shut it!!

Jiro: Ughah!?

(Sfx- Gara clatter)

(Sfx- Batan slam!)

(Sfx- Pata pata pata stomp stomp stomp)

010
Eiko: Ah....I guess we went a little overboard....

Yuki: Kyouko-chan...

Aki: I totally forgot what it was like for her back in middle school...

Eiko: Middle school? What happened to her then?

Aki: Ah...well it wasn't something that 'happened' per se...

She was a really bitter and dark person then...

She wouldn't tell anyone what was bothering her....

But when she became friends with us, she started to lighten up a bit.

(Sfx- Doyooooon Glaaaaaaaare)

Yuki: Ever since you came she's been regressing back into a mode of being dark again...

Eiko: Dark!?

Aki: We thought that she was doing fine though so we didn't say anything...

Yuki: But I think things recently have pushed her over the edge.

Aki: Yeah...I suppose we should go apologize...

Eiko: I'd better rethink some things too....

Guys: What are you talking about?!

Akagi: Let us in on the secret!

Aki: There's a thing called 'reading the mood' get it?

Yuki: Hm? Where did Jiro-kun go?

011

Kyouko: I've done it now...

I thought I could be different now that I'm in High school..

But I suppose I really can't do anything about my reputation....

(Sfx- Gacha Click)

Jiro: Are you here Kyouko?
(Sfx- Min sfft)

Kyouko: Jiro?

Listen, leave me alone okay......

Right now I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone....

(Sfx- Suuu swiff)

012

Jiro: Recalling the final lock of the security system...

The Kill them cannon; release standby.

(Sfx- doruu wifff)

Kyouko: What are you doing?

Seriously, quit bothering me or....

Jiro: The coordinates are W 139, N35, SL 35, at about 40.2 degrees.

The target is Kyouko's glasses.

Fire!

(Sfx- Kira sparkle)

013

(Sfx- Chuuuiiii veeeeeeeeeeen)

(Sfx- Chi crack)

(Sfx- Kara karan clack—clater)

Kyouko: Wha....?!

(Sfx- Zatsu Zatsu Swiff swiff)

Jiro: Kyouko...

You dare underestimate me?

014

Jiro: My power stands far above any plane that you could even concieved.
You do not want to get on the bad side of a diabolical genius...

(Sfx- Ooooooooooo)

Kyouko: Jiro's angry with me...?!

Well that makes sense, I was the one with a nasty attitude...

Jiro: You're not 'good' with these types of situations? Who cares?!

That's because you are no more than a weakling!

Rather than blame others for your faults look at yourself!

(Sfx- Zui wiff)

(Sfx- Biku shiver)

Jiro: That's why...

You must put more effort into becoming better!

Kyouko: Huh?

015

Jiro: Even I cannot modify a person's heart!

If I modify a chicken, it's still a chicken at it's base!

This is problematic for me! You have to be vicious! Evil!

To modify this weakling before me now......is pointless!!

That's why you must put more effort into changing! If you need my strength, i'll gladly lend it to you!

I have more than enough to support you.....

Kyouko: Um....

Could it be that you're....

You're in your own weird way, here to cheer me up?

Jiro: WHA?!

Of course I wouldn't do something so pathetic! I'm only interested in modifying you when you're at your best! I have no interest in weaklings....

(Sfx- jiii staaaaaaare)

(Sfx- Fuii fwip)

(Sfx- Jiiiii staaaaaaare)

Kyouko: Tee hee...

016

Kyouko: What's this?! You're actually not as bad as I thought are you!

You really got me there! You act like a big shot, but you're no more than a big stupid softy!!

Jiro: Wha?!

Who's a big and stupid softy you little.....

Kyouko: But thanks....

(Sfx- Posu pat)

Kyouko: I feel a bit better now!

017

Kyouko: I hate to admit it, but I've been feeling a bit more energetic ever since you guys showed up at school.

I'll be depending on your strength!

{I can't believe that this guy actually came to cheer me up...}

Jiro: O—Okay! As expected from my future subordinate!

Kyouko: Yeah yeah, whatever. Let's get back to class before first period starts.

{Even this idiot managed to become a little bit more mature...}

{Okay!, From here on in, I'm gonna grow as a person too!}

???: Ugh! Hey you! Calm down already!

???: But I can't see....

(Sfx- Goto goto thunk thunk)

Everyone: Ugh!!

(Sfx- Baan thuud!)

Yuki: Ah...Kyouko-chan....

Eiko: So this is where you were hiding out?

Aki: We all came to apologize to you for earlier and stuff...

Eiko: Um...Kyouko-chan?

Kyouko: Okay....

{I'll draw on just a little bit of that strength...!}

(Sfx- fuuu)

018

Kyouko: You guys! like, you totally can't do that stuff yanno!

If you're not careful I'll get m.a.d!

(Sfx- Bachin Wink!)

(TN- Dear god the cuteness. Sorry Yuki-chan, Kyouko takes home the prize for this panel alone.)

(Side text- Yeah Kyouko....you'll always be everyone's t.o.y.)

{Dear God. I've tried my best to draw on my strength....}

{And again, I've only proven how excellent I am at being misunderstood!!}

Kyouko: WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Eiko: What was that?! Tell me!!

(Sfx- Datsu DASH)

Kujou: Superb Kyouko-kun!

Yuki: You're so cute!!

Akagi: I like that Watari-san too!!

(Sfx- Dodododdododo tmtpmtmptmptmp)

Jiro: So this is what it's like when Kyouko draws on her strength...!!(Handwritten- How interesting!)
