Hajimete No Aku 20

Oddly this was a lot harder to translate than usual. O_o In any case, I hope this one (and the others) will be scantlated soon! I'm sure Hyena's working hard on it, so everyone should cheer them on. ^^

HAJIMETE NO AKU

(Side text- Ah~ Seems like everyone's in the organization's uniform....Is that really Eiko neechan in those clothes?!)

(Left side text- Causing a stir is Volume one of the manga, now out in stores!!)

FUJIKI SHUN

002

(Side text- This time Oneechan's different than usual!)

(Sfx- Zubaa fwissh)

(Sfx- Bishii ssssh)

(Sfx- Saaa sweeep)

(Sfx- Baaan)

Eiko: Perfect!

003

Jiro: Why are you wearing those clothes sister?

Kyouko: Cosplaying as an office lady?

Pochi: Got some night work?

(TN- Thank you and goodnight.)

Eiko: Heheheh, I don't expect children to understand.

I'm looking to be hired!

(Sfx- Baan)

Eiko: And if I want to find a job, I have to dress the part!

Last chapter, sister gave me a really harsh lecture.

(Side text- Big sis Aya.)

Eiko: A representative like myself shouldn't just be laying around...or so she says.

Because of that, although I don't WANT to work, I have to find a job or else!!

(Handwritten- She's scary when she's angry!)

(Sfx- Katsu sheen)

Jiro: Hm.

Kyouko: So in other words, you just want to be a slacker huh....

Eiko: Well, I suppose searching wouldn't hurt.

I'm sure at a time like this, people are probably looking for eager new recruits.

004

Eiko: So I've decided to ask Dad for help on my journey to employment success!! I'm sure he can introduce me to someone that can help!

(Sfx- Baaan)

Kyouko: Oh!

Dad: There aren't many openings in many of these businesses,

But, it's always a pressing matter to find female staff to assist them.

Eiko-chan, you can chat with me all you need to.

Jiro: She's far too reckless for something like that!

Eiko: You had to go and say it didn't you Jiro-kun.

Do you think there's a company that would turn down brains and beauty? If I get serious, finding a job is a piece of cake!!

(Sfx- Hafuuun fwisssh)

(Sfx- Mishi)


Dad: Good energy! They look for that in a new employee.

{Jobs I'm proficient in?}

{Yes, any tasks that you can complete.}

005

Eiko: Hmmmmmm....

(Handwritten- Please look at this new unit I created.)

{Ideal}

{Reality}

(Handwritten- Hey! Where's my tea?!)

Eiko: I...I can do this!! I don't want to be a freeloader!

I want to have my own spendable income!

(Sfx- Watsu Makenai!! I won't give up!)

(Sfx- Guu griip)

Dad: Hahaha, that type of attitude will pull your through.

What other attributes do you have? You'll have to present them well in the interview if you want to get hired.

Good luck.

Eiko: Huh?

Inter---view?

I can't just set a trap for other people, keep them from showing up, and get the job that way?

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmmble)

(Sfx- Fun fun fun fwap fwap fwap)

Pochi: And now....

006

Pochi: Part one, the mock interviews!!

Kyouko: Eh? What's this?

Dad: It's a mock interview with a panel of people.

Eiko-chan can practice the real thing this way.

Kyouko: Oneechan, you've never been in an interview before?

Eiko: Ah...this is so embarrassing...

I've spent my whole life going to school up until college.

I know all about tests, but nothing about interviews....

007

Eiko: So it would be good if I could practice a bit before I head out and do the real thing.

Kyouko: Ah. Not to be mean oneechan, but you don't seem like the alumni type.

Eiko: Of course I am! I was a supervisor before you know?

You have to graduate to be able to work in management.

Jiro: Really?!

Kyouko: You don't know about that either...?

Well then oneechan, what was your major?

(Sfx- Puii wisssh)

Jiro: I suppose since it is for my sister, I'll help though.

Kyouko: Yeah....I suppose.

(Sfx- Jiiii staaaaaaare)

Dad: Now that we're settled, how about you go first Kyouko.

Kyouko: Huh? Okay.

For the time being, I just have to act like this is a test at school. Doing an interview can't be that hard..

It's just a matter of showing Oneechan how to do it...!

008

Dad: Why do you want to work for our company?

Kyouko: Because I've done this sort of work before,

And as such, I feel I can bring a unique set of experiences to this company if I'm chosen.

Dad: During your school years, what would you consider your best subjects?

Kyouko: Sports!

And I'm a member of the physical education club as well.

Dad: And tell me a little about any other ablities.

Kyouko: I won't back down from a challenge!

Dad: Sorry, rejected.

(Sfx- Geeen pooooit)

Kyouko: Whaaat?!

Why?

Dad: Your answers are too straight forward. It seems like you're lying.

009

Eiko: Whaaat?! I can't lie to them?!

Dad: Of course not.

Kyouko: But I'm NOT lying!! I really am good at sports! And I am a member of the club!! And I don't give up when I'm challenged either!!

Dad: It's not so much your answers to the questions that are wrong, because in reality the answers are irrelevant.

The person interviewing you really wants to know 'Can this person really do the work we require of them?'.

{The basis for most companies is they want someone that is multi talented.}

(Sfx- Tashi tashi pat pat)

Dad: That's why I said you're being too straight forward. They'll think that you're a one trick pony.

(Handwritten- You should try to highlight your other skills....)

Kyouko: Ngh.

Jiro: I have a feeling it is because you have such an evil presence radiating from you. It leaves a negative impact on others.

Kyouko: Oh?

(Sfx- Piku throb)

(Handwritten- Lying is bad huh...)

Kyouko: Then lets see YOUR interview Jiro!

(Sfx- Bishiii fwisssh)

Jiro: Ngh..M---Me you say?!

Pochi: Let's see it Jiro!

Dad: I don't see why not.

010

Dad: Why do you want to work for our company?

Jiro: Because I don't understand the minds of civilians.

Dad: During your school years, what would you consider your best subject?

Jiro: A, Ah-- I've only been in school for two months....

Um...Would studying count...?

(TN- If only Jiro...If only.)

Dad: And tell me a little bit about your other ablities.

Jiro: Now THAT I can answer!

I am the evil kill them all scientist that will eventually rule the world!!!

(Sfx- Batsu)

Jiro: Perfect!

(Sfx- Subaaan smaccck)

Kyouko: IN WHAT WAY?!


011

Kyouko: All you did was spout a bit of nonsense! And what's with that last answer?!

(Sfx- Gyaaah roooar)

Jiro: What did you say?! Are you making light of our organization?

Dad: Hold on a minute...

Eiko-san, in the organization....no I mean your previous employer, did you accomplish any major tasks?

Eiko: Hm? Well...

We built a bridge or something like that.

Kyouko: Huuh?

A bridge? Why?

Eiko: Hehehe! Of course to hide ourselves from the allies of justice, and common people!

Jiro: Mh-hm.

Eiko: That land is public property right?

However it's an inconvenience for us if we have to go all the way around it to get to the lair.

(White bubble: Citizens)

(Dark bubble: Objective land)

012

Eiko: So we built a bridge going right on through!

(Sfx- Baaaan*)

Jiro: But we were able to hide under the guise of being more convenient to the common man!

That was a troublesome three days...I don't think I slept while we worked hard on the bridge.

Eiko: And we were already in the red money wise back then too.

Kyouko: Um...excuse me? I've got a question for the evil organization?

(Handwritten- Yes)

Kyouko: How does this help you take over the world....?

Eiko: If they want to revolt against us, it'll have to be across OUR bridge right?

Jiro: But we so KINDLY gave it to them. Our motto is 'killing with kindness!'

(Sfx- Nyari sneer)

(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo rmmmmmble)

Kyouko: Is this what you call being the ideal evil organization you two?!

013

Jiro: If we were to take our brige back, this country would be in trouble.

(Sfx- Gyarari sheeen)

Eiko: What we give once, we can take away!

Kyouko: Are you guys planning to annoy Japan to death....?

Dad: However, that's a great ability.

I like it..!

You should use that world subjugation plan to your advantage during the interview.

With that, your impact on them should be huge!

Eiko: Okay! Let me throw it on my resume!

(Sfx- Pekaaa fwiss fwissh)

Eiko: Ah!

Drat! I didn't put my picture on the resume!!

I must have forgotten to pick it up from the developer!!

What do I do?! I have to go for my interview!!!!

Kyouko: I guess Jiro and I can pick it up Oneechan.

(Sfx- wata wata wibble wibble)

014

Jiro: Okay then, shall we go back?

Kyouko: Ah...

(Sfx- Buroooooo vrrrrrrm)

(Sfx-Zaaaa sssssh)

Kyouko: Job hunting huh....

It sounds tough to be an adult.

But someday we'll be running about having the same problems too.

I hadn't even given it a single thought until now.

Jiro: I'm so feeble minded....

Kyouko: Huh?

015

Jiro: It's sister...I know why she's doing this.

She's looking for employment so that she can support me, no us....so that we have our own spending money, and don't have to bother you two.

Kyouko: Ah...

Jiro: If only I could help her some how...

Pochi: Hmm..

You said something pretty good there kid.

But don't be in a hurry to grow up. There are things that are better left till you're ready for adulthood.

As long as you do the best you can right now, that's good enough.

Jiro: Sir....

Kyouko: Pochi...

016

Jiro: You're the best sir! I want to grow up to be a man just like you!

Pochi: With luck you will.

Kyouko: He's not so much a man, as he is just a male....and you can't grow up to be a dog.

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Eiko: Nooo!! I blinked! I can't use this picture!!!

Kyouko: Jiro, you could fix that picture couldn't you?

(Handwritten- Like manipulate it on the computer?)

Kyouko: This way you can help her out a little bit too!

Good luck!

017

Jiro: O, Of course!

Something like that is child's play for me!

Eiko: Oh Jiro! I always knew you'd be useful for something!

(Sfx- Baaa)

Jiro: Whaat?!

Kyouko: It seems that he's grown up a little bit.....

Siblings aren't so bad are they.

Eiko: Let me kiss you! Mmwah!

(Sfx- Gugu grrrnd)

{I hope that someday I can be useful to Eiko as well....Kyouko thought to herself.}

Jiro: Stoooopittttt!!!

Eiko: All right! Now I'm absolutely ready for that interview!

I'll land that job tomorrow for sure!!

{A few days later at the employment office...}

Guy: Oh.

Guy 2: This is the lady that Watari-san introduced me to.

Guy 3: Oh I saw her! She's quite the looker isn't she!
018

{Eiko in her organization days.}

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo Rmmmmble)

{Failure.}

Jiro: I thought you were trying to use your ablities from the organization!! That's why I chose that picture!!!

Eiko: NGHAHHH!!!

{But maybe oneechan should have checked this picture before using it.}
