Hajimete No Aku 22

Really though, who's Sergei? Or is that a phrase that I'm just not picking up on? I'd recommend to anyone scantlating this that they look that up before trying since It seems somewhat important. Otherwise enjoy the Aku.

(Black box- A suspicious looking Comedy-!)
 
HAJIMETE NO AKU.
 
(Side text- This duo is headed towards a world of burning passion!!)
 
FUJIKI SHUN.
 
(Bottom side text- Volume one is in stores everywhere!!)

(Bottom Black box- Chapter 22: Come back home Sergei!)
 
(TN- Who’s Sergei? I googled it and found….nothing. If someone can get back to me on that I’d love it.)
 
002
 
Midoritani: Hmm…
 
(Side text- The barely noticeable member of the Watari FC Midoritani, is troubled!!)
 
Midoritani: Mmmm….
 
Jiro: Hm?
 
(Sfx- Wai wai!)
 
Jiro: What is the matter Midoritani? Your expression looks troubled.
 
Midoritani: Ah, Jiro-kun.
 
Kyouko: What’s up?
 
Aki: Whatcha reading?
 
Yuki: Is it porn?
 
(Sfx- Zoro zoro *sneak sneak*)
 
Midoritani: I—It isn’t!
 
Aki: Part time job search ads?
 
Yuki: Midoritani-kun, do you want to work?
 
Midoritani: Yeah. There’s something I’d really like to buy.
(On Book- Even a Monkey can find a Job A.)
 
(Dude on book- Yes we can!)
 
003
 
Midoritani: I was thinking of getting an Oil painting, but it’s a bit pricey.
 
Yuki: Ah! I see! A painting would totally fit the Clubroom wouldn’t it?
 
Aki: So you’re into paintings and stuff Midoritani?
 
What kind of jobs are you looking for?
 
Midoritani: I’d like to say anything is good…
 
But I’m intensely shy of strangers, so it’s proving problematic.
 
Kyouko: Ah…
 
Aki: Come to think of it, I’ve only ever seen you hang out with the other club members…
 
Jiro: Kyouko, what is this ‘Part time job’ that they speak of?
 
Kyouko: Oh right, You’re an idiot, so I have to explain it.
 
Jiro: To whom are you addressing as an idiot?
 
Kyouko: Usually it’s like manual labor, in which you work and get paid.
 
Though you should know this right? Oneechan’s been doing stuff like this.
 
(Handwritten- Welcome---)
 
Jiro: Hm.
 
So Civilians have to do those kinds of things too.
 
004
 
Jiro: I think I’ll give this a go as well!
 
Midoritani: Really?!
 
(Sfx- Gata *Clatter.*)
Midoritani: Your conviction is great!! Thanks Jiro-kun!
 
Kyouko: Why do you want to do this all of a sudden?
 
Jiro: Well…
 
Ah…it’s you know…the bond of brotherhood…right?
 
(Sfx- Buii *fwish*)
 
Kyouko: Very Suspicious….
 
(Handwritten- Look at me.)
 
Aki: This is perfect then.
 
How about the two of you come work at my place?
 
(Sfx- Pon *Pat*)
 
Jiro: Hm?
 
005
 
Aki: I’m home---
 
(Sfx- Gara *clatter*)
 
(Sfx- Wai wai)
 
(Handwritten on side- If it isn’t the store poster girl.)
 
(Handwritten on side- Ah! Aki-chan’s back)
 
(Sfx- Jyuuuuuuu *ssssssssh*)
 
???: Welcome back Akiho.
 
Yuki: Good afternoon Sir!
 
Kyouko: ‘Sup.
 
???: Ah! If it isn’t Yuki and Kyouko-chan!
 
You guys are as cute as ever!
 
(Handwritten by both girls- Here he comes…)
 
???: To have three flowers gathered in my shop brings me happiness!!
 
(Sfx- Dodododododo *Tmptmptmptmp*)
 
007
 
Midoritani: Ah, Hello.
 
Jiro: Excuse the intrusion.
 
Aki: Pops?
 
{Ga…}
 
{Gah….}
 
{Gaaaah….}
 
(Sfx- Buru buru buru *shiver shiver shiver*)
 
Dad: GUYS?! AND WITH THESE CUTE MAIDENS?! WHY?! WHY!?
 
Jiro: What’s the matter with him?
 
Aki: He’s prone to having his little episodes.
 
(Sfx- Gawaaa *doooom*)
 
(Sfx- Katsu *twok*)
 
007
 
(Sfx- Biiiiin *Twaaaang*)
 
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *rmmmmmmmble*)
 
Dad: I don’t know why you’re here, but listen up!
 
Since you’re here with these cute girls I have to judge you!!
 
You’re after their boobs aren’t you?! It’s the boobs right?! Those firm….GAH?!
 
(Sfx- Pakaaa *sshmack!*)
 
Aki: SHUT YOUR FACE, DAMNED GEEZER!!
 
Jiro: I will admit, her breasts are perfect.
 
Yuki: Yes, but don’t forget that they’re mine.
 
Aki: THAT’S SEXUAL HARASSMENT CREEPS!!
 
Those two came for temporary work!
 
Starting today, it’s Sergei’s time off right?!
 
Dad: Wha?!
 
008
 
Dad: So you little monkeys came pretending to want a job, so you could get close to MY Akiho?!
 
I’ll NEVER hand my daughter over to the likes of you!!
 
(Sfx- Gigigigigigigi *grinnnnnnnnd*)
 
Midori: He’s staring daggers at us…..
 
Dad: I’ll make them go home by force!
 
Aki: And here’s your aprons.
 
Jiro: Thanks.
 
Midoritani: Roger.
 
Yuki: Well we don’t want to get in your way. See ya!
 
(Handwritten- Good luck~)
 
Kyouko: You do as your told, okay?
 
Jiro: Y—Yeah!
 
(Sfx- Zaaaan)
 
Aki: Okay, now you guys watch me!
 
First we start with this…
Guys: Okay!
 
(Sfx- Pishi *poit!*)
 
009
 
Aki: Yo!
 
(Sfx- Kuru *spiin*)
 
(Sfx- Shaaa *sssssh*)
 
Aki: You don’t use your hands, but this okay?
 
(Handwritten- Customer.)
 
Midoritani: Wow! Awesome!
 
(Sfx- Shaaaaaa *sssssh*)
 
Jiro: Looks tasty!
 
Aki: Now it’s your turn!
 
Guys: Got it!
 
(Sfx- Zaaan *Swiff*)
 
Dad: Yes, here’s your share.
 
Aki: Whoa! You couldn’t even flip that much pops!!
 
Dad: Hahahahah! Are you going to give up?!
 
010
 
(Sfx- Niwa *fwoop*)
 
Dad: Wh—What the heck is this?!
 
Jiro: Ngahhh!!!
 
{No way….He’s actually going to do it…?!}
 
Jiro: It’s no good. Even if I use my cape, these little spatulas provide no balance.
 
{Geez, you scared me.}
 
011
 
Dad: They’re tougher than I thought……!
 
How about this!!
 
We need those plates TODAY! Why are you two so slow?!
 
(Sfx- Katsu)
 
Guys: Sorry!!
 
Dad: You’re supposed to smile when greeting a customer! What’s with that droopy face of yours?
 
Midoritani: Ye—Yes sir!
 
Dad: You dropped some trash on the floor! Watch what you’re doing!!
 
Jiro: Y—Yeah?!
 
Aki: Pops, lay off them a bit yeah? This is their first day you know…
 
Dad: What are you talking about?! Making money is damn difficult!!
 
You guys are kids of the times at any rate!
 
You should be used to a little bit of hardship!
 
Aki: What an evil face…
 
012
 
Aki: And that’s it for today!
 
Nice work!
 
(Sfx- Gara *clatter*)
 
Aki: You guys look absolutely knocked out though.
 
(Sfx- Kuttee *gloom*)
 
(TN- Midoritani’s expression is great.)
 
Midoritani: I’m sorry for getting in the way Nakatsugawa-san…
 
(Handwritten- My arm’s falling off…)
 
Aki: Don’t worry about it, everyone’s like that at the beginning.
 
Dad: Heheheh! Look at those pathetic faces!
 
They’ll stay far away from here tomorrow!!
 
Chock up one victory for a father’s love!!
 
Kid: Whats daddy doing?
 
{Little brother.}
 
Woman: He’s prone to his little episodes.

{Akiho’s mom.}
 
013
 
Jiro: You civilians sure work hard don’t you……
 
Aki: It’s not really like that at all.
 
Midoritani: By the way Jiro, why’d you take a part time job?
 
Do you have something you want to buy too?
 
Jiro: Swim Trunks.
 
Both: Huh?
 
Jiro: We’ll be swimming in Gym next period, and I need them.
 
Kyouko told me not to worry about it….
 
But I can’t keep using Father’s things.
 
So I want to work hard so I can earn a pair of my own.
 
Th—That’s about it.
 
014
(Sfx- Buwaa *Waaaaaah*)
 
Jiro: Whoa!?
 
Dad: I’m sorry! You guys aren’t so bad!!
 
Jiro: ?
 
I am a mad scientist though…
 
Dad: I’m going to change my ways! Rather than drill work into you,
 
I’ll make it an experience you can enjoy!!
 
(Sfx- Wai wai!)
 
Kyouko: Well well….
 
I thought he was up to no good,
 
But it looks like I was underestimating him.
 
Pochi: Hmph, He is a man after all.
 
015
 
{And so Akiho’s father reconciled (?) with Jiro and Midoritani.}
 
{When Midoritani isn’t under a lot of pressure, he’s quick learner.}
 
{And before long he was showing prowess like a man who had been working his whole life.}
 
{Jiro however is a bit slower,}
 
{And was prone to making mistakes.}
 
{However his passion matched that of Akiho, her father and Midoritani,}
 
{And he was able to find many ways to support them.}
 
{And then two days later….}
 
(Sfx-Pekaaa)
 
(Envelope- Payment.)
016
 
Dad: Take it! Your well deserved 3 day pay!
 
Jiro: Yes..!
 
Midoritani: My first paycheck…!
 
Dad: You deserve it!
 
You two are excellent workers!
 
(Sfx- guiii *fwip*)
 
Midoritani: Yeah! We’re awesome!
 
Jiro: You can say that again!
 
(Sfx- Paaaan)
 
Midoritani: Thanks for believing in us Nakatsugawa-San!
 
Aki: Not a problem! You saved us too!
 
(Sfx- Choi choi *fwap fwap*)
 
Dad: Listen, to make up for being a jerk to you guys earlier, I’ll give you some privy information….would you be interested in Akiho’s cup size?
 
(Sfx- Hiso hiso *whisper whisper*)
 
(Handwritten- 87?!)
 
(Handwritten- D?!)
 
(TN- BEST. DAD. EVER. And duuuude It doesn’t look it but Aki really is stacked…!!)
 
Aki: What the hell are you doing geezer…
 
017
 
(Sfx- Zaza---n *sssssh*)
 
Kyouko: Hey Jiro!
 
Going to buy your swim trunks?
 
Jiro: W—Why do you  know that?
 
Kyouko: Heheh, you underestimated me didn’t you?
 
Geez, I already told you not to worry about that.
 
Now it looks like we’re being mean to you at home.
 
Jiro Wha?!
 
That—that’s not what I meant!
 
I just….
 
018
 
Kyouko: You can come to us when you’re having problems!
 
You’re part of our family too you know!
 
Got it?
 
Jiro: U, Understood.
 
Kyouko: Good!
 
It’s good to be honest!
 
So let’s be honest!
 
(Sfx- Paaaaaa)
 
Kyouko: You’ll have some money left over after you buy your trunks right?
 
Jiro: Ah? I guess so.
 
Kyouko: Well Captian Jiro, first lets go to that Cake shop in front of the train station!
 
Then we have to go to the Takahashi store for Oneechan’s ice cream!
 
Jiro: Were you after my money?!?
 
{And in the end, Jiro didn’t get to spend much of his hard earned money.}
 
(Side text- How much of your check do you spend?)
