Hajimete No Aku 16

And sixteen. *Twiddles thumbs.* BDR want interview. >_>


And now another PSA! People have been asking me for Traumiester raws, and while I do have the tanks I don't have a scanner to scan them in. However my bestest friend in the world MBG has access to SS and a scanner! Unfortunately she is running low on cash and will lose her subscription to SS in a little while. So if you guys ask nicely (and throw in a little tiny donation) Perhaps you'll turn on your computers, log into MH and notice that Traumiester scans have started appearing.

Don't take my word for it though. Just head over to www.conan-magic.com and do what's in your heart. I'll be posting this on Translations through mid-April, so no one can say they didn't know.

(Side text- Athletic big boobed Aki-chan's worst nightmare?! Looks like she just found out...)

{Sixth period at school.}

(Sfx- Katsu scritch)

Jiro: And there you have it.

(Sfx- Oooo)

Teacher: Hmm...excellent.

Aki: Whoa! Akuno's really got some great comprehension doesn't he?

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Yuki: Totally like a mad scientist!

Maybe we should ask him to help us with the test tomorrow.

Aki: Uwah...

I guess I'd better start studying...

Uh...a test?

Yuki: Yep! Tomorrow.

(Bottom text- Sorry to keep you waiting! Volume one hits stores on May 18th!!)

HAJIMETE NO AKU
Chapter 16: Try a Home tutor.
FUJIKI SHUN.

(Center text- From here on in we work as a team!!)

003

Kyouko: Hm?

A Cram session?

Yuki: Yeah! It's tomorrow right?
And Jiro-kun, this is your first test too.

So we should totally have a cram session to have him help us.

Kyouko: Well, I don't mind or anything....

But Yuki, you get some of the best grades in the school right?

Yuki: Oh it's not to help me!

It's to help her.

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmmble)

004

Yuki: She totally forgot about the test coming up.

Kyouko: That's pretty incredible.....

(Handwritten- Ahhhhhhh)

Aki: I hate tests!!

Jiro: But Tests are essential!

Back during my days in the organization, I'd test many subjects using several of my devices!

Aki: I think we're talking about different tests here....

Yuki: So Jiro-kun, could you lend her some of your strength?

Aki: I can't help it though! I have to go to clubs right after class.

So if I forget one or two things, it's not my fault.

And then the day before I had to chase SOMEone around for their birthday party.

Kyouko: Okay okay! I get it! I'm bad! I'm sorry!

Yuki: Okay then! Let's all agree to meet at Aki-chan's house OK?

Kyouko: 'Kay.

Jiro: Fine.

Aki: Yay!

005
Yuki: And just out of curiosity, we should state our strengths!

I'm good at Japanese and English.

Kyouko: Writing!

Jiro: Inventions and Modification!

Aki: Athletics!

(Sfx- Ba ba ba fwip fwip fwip)

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmmble)

Yuki: Hmm...I guess we can't all be talented huh?

Kyouko: Wha?! Why are you looking at me?!

Yuki: We'll need someone else that gets pretty good grades.....

(Sfx- Hirari flutter)

Yuki: Hm?

Yuki: What's this?

Kyouko: Looks like midterm grades.

???: Whoa! This is awesome! They average a 90!!

Huh? Who is this...?

(Text- English, Science, Japanese)

006

Akagi: Oh I dropped that!!

That's mine!

(Sfx- Waiii)

Yuki: Whoa! What a claim!

Could this be what we were waiting for?

Kyouko: No way.

Aki: More like why are there so many?!
Listen, only one of you can come to my house....

???: Okay then! Let us choose who'll go!!

Rock paper scissors!!

Go!

Yuki: Look at them! They're going all out!!

(Sfx- Batsu fwish)

???: To cram with Watari-san!!

And two other delicious babes!

This is the opportunity we've been waiting for men!!

(Sfx- UOOOOOOH ORAAAAH)

Kyouko: You guys are weird....

007

Midoritani: Uh...Nice to work with you!!

Yuki: Um...you're...ah...

Midoritani: I'm Midoritani Yasuhiko, first year.

For now I'm in the same class as everyone....

Kyouko: For real?!

Midoritani: I figured you wouldn't know me....

Kyouko: Ah...sorry....

Midoritani: It's fine, I'm pretty unnoticeable anyway....

Yuki: Don't worry about it!

Kyouko: Well it's nice to work with you too!

Yuki: With you!

(Sfx- Kira kira kira sparkle sparkly sparkle)

(Sfx- Sugyuuun)
Midoritani: It's great to be alive....

Jiro: Are you okay?

Yuki: Aki-chan's house is right ahead.

008

(Signs- (Infront of store) Delicious grille Nakatsugawa, (White sign on building) Oogawa shouten)

Aki: Welco---

Ah It's you guys! Wait a bit by the back okay?

Midoritani: Oh? So Nakatsugawa-san's house is this grille?

Yuki: Cool right? And the Mochi is great!

Kyouko: That's if you don't eat the stuff Aki makes though.

Aki: Shaddup, and get going!

009

(Sfx- Ton ton ton ton tmp tmp tmp)

(Sfx- Zuratsu sffft)

Midoritani: As expected of Nakatsugawa-san! There are trophies everywhere!

Jiro: Kyouko take a lesson from this. The stuffed bears make it known that a girl lives here.

Kyouko: Shut up.

Yuki: Ah...geez Aki-chan you need to clean up!

(Handwritten- When did she get a sandbag in here...?!)

(Handwritten- Dunno...but I kind of want one.)

Midoritani: Whoa!

010

Midoritani: Crap! I think I'm sweating! I have to keep my cool....

To actually be in a girl's room....it's driving my inner tension to MAX!

Jiro: There's almost no security here....
I'll never understand how the mind of a civilian works.

{Same gender, two different worlds.)

(Sfx- Doki doki pitter patter)

Jiro: This room is driving me crazy!

Midoritani: You too Jiro-kun?

That's awesome! It's great not to be alone....

Jiro: Yeah...?

{Yet somehow they've resonated.}

Aki: Sorry to keep you waiting! 'Brought some fishcakes!

(Sfx- Gara clatter)

Kyouko: Oh! Awesome!

Yuki: Yeah, now we can get started!

(Bottle- Toriryuu-cha.)

011

Aki: Tell me how to do this Akuno.

Jiro: You should use this formula here.

Yuki: And this? Jiro-kun.

(Sfx- Niya nya nya fwip fwip)

Kyouko: How 'bout this one?

Jiro: Use this value here, and there....

Kyouko: Buwah!

(Sfx- Gyumu fwomp)

Kyouko: Don't play around Jiro!

Jiro: I'm not!!

Yuki: It's just as I thought! Check it out!
Aki: Huh? Really?

Kyouko: Wow your prediction was right Yuki!

Midoritani: Oh so the three of you went to the same middle school!

Yuki: Yep!

I'd like to introduce you to my two wives!

Aki: Who's your wife?

Kyouko: Knock off the nonsense Yuki.

Jiro: But the lot of you are women!

Midoritani: You all sure are close.

012

Midoritani: I didn't have any friends in my class.

Jiro: What are 'friends'?

Yuki: Waa- how heavy.

Well gather close my friends!

(Handwritten- She's doing as she pleases in someone else's house...)

(Sfx- Baa fwissh)

Yuki: It's album time!!

See! Look! This was back when Aki's breasts were the same size as Kyouko-chan's!

Aren't they cuuuute?

Aki: Hey! Cut that out!! It's embarassing!

Kyouko: They're not the same size any more!! I've grown a little!

Yuki: Ah Aki-chan, I know now that you've still got more room to grow!

(Sfx- Buo buo buo )

Aki: That's enough out of you!

Jiro: You fool! Why has Kyouko not grown since then?!

Kyouko: I have grown dammit!!

Midoritani: This is so awesome....

???: We have to study!

Yuki: I'm already done.

???: Whoa already?!

Midoritani: I'm done too.

013

Yuki: Well there's no point in going back now....it's already late....

Kyouko: Aki's only completed half of the problems....

(Sfx- Doyon droooop)

Jiro: Naturally because you all are concentrating more on playing around than studying.

With all of these distractions, I'm surprised you civilians learn anything.

Midoritani: You were having fun too Jiro-kun.

Kyouko: Do you have a device that can help her Jiro?

Jiro: Hmm?

014

Aki: No, I want to do this on my own.

I don't need any help from you.

I'll just work hard on 'em!

Guh.

(Sfx- Sukaaa snooore)

Kyouko: You're not working hard at anything.

What'll we do with her....

Kyouko: No helping it...we'll just stay here till morning.

Yuki: Yeah.

Midoritani: Let me call my folks.

Aki: Oooh my best friends!!

Jiro: Are you serious?

We have a test too don't we? If we aren't prepared....

Kyouko: Even if I go home, I'm just gonna go to bed.

015

Kyouko: And we're friends after all.

Aki: Okay! I'll grill us up some good food to eat overnight!

Kyouko: I'll do it, Aki. You just go study!

Aki: All right leave it to me!

{Hmm...}

{Friends are....}

Aki: Here's another helping!

Midoritani: It's delicious!

(Sfx- Gara clatter.)

Kyouko: I told you to GO STUDY!

{Kind of....}

Jiro: WAKE UP!

(Sfx- Pechi pechi pat pat)

{Annoying....}

(Handwritten- Don't sleep fight!!)

(Handwritten- Huh?)

016

Midoritani: U--
Ghh...

Jiro: It appears we fell asleep....

Midoritani: We must of tired ourselves out...

Jiro: My body aches, and I'm exhausted, yet we still have to take this test...

However....

It's strange.

I'm in a festive mood!

Midoritani: Ahahaah....me too!

Jiro: Is this what you would call 'Friendship'?

Midoritani: I guess?

(Sfx- Gatsu grip)

Midoritani: Hey girls, it's about time....

(TN- WIN.)

Kyouko: I'm cold...

(Sfx- Gokiiin Poooit)

Jiro: W—we shouldn't wake them up....!

(Sfx- Doki doki doki doki thump thump thmp thump)

Midoritani: Agreed! They'll beat us to death if they wake up and see us....

Yuki: Yeah...

(Sfx- Monyo smack)

Aki: Hnn?

Jiro: Le..Lets just leave them as is!

(Sfx- Chun chun tweet tweet)

Midoritani: Yeah! That's what friends are for!!

018
{And so after the test...}

Aki: You guys really saved me! I managed to get a decent grade!

Kyouko: That's great!

Yuki: You should really thank Midoritani-kun and Jiro-kun.

Aki: Yeah you two are awesome!

Maybe you all aren't so....

(TN- NOT WIN)

Akagi: What kinds of dreams did you have while studying?! SPILL IT!

Midoritani: We didn't see anything! It was normal president!

(Sfx- Pishuuu kawhip)

Jiro: Let me go you dimwits!!

Aki: What...is...that?

Akagi: TALK!!

Kyouko: Fools being fools.

Akagi: Do you think you're slick?!

Yuki: I'll tell you!!

Midoritani: Let me talk!!

I'm telling you!!

{It's just a big mess after all.}

(Side text- The scene they witnessed that morning would stay a secret! They'll never tell!)
