Hajimete No Aku 27

Aku! Beach! Strip search?! (One of these things is not like the other~)

In other news, it's a surreal feeling really, to see that a series I picked up get licensed and then released in English. I'll say that I am impressed with Viz's translation, (Not that I have any authority to say something like that.) And I will definitely buy Hyde once it hits stores. I recommend the same to you guys, (and gals) at home. As for my future with a certain chain saw wielding teddy bear.....

And you guys'll be gone for a whole week?!

(Sfx- Min mn min min ree ree ree)

Kyouko: Yeah.

Since it's summer, we'd might as well get out a bit.

(Side text- Amazing developments in a new and unknown location!!)

Kyouko: I'm still packing for it though.

Do you think I should bring some shampoo with me?

Well? C'mon, do you?

003

Aki: A TRIIIIIIIIPPPPP?!?!

Yuki: Kyouko-chan, you're so awesoooome!!

Kyouko: Hm?

(Sfx- Hah!)

(Sfx- Gotsu doof)

Aki: Kids nowadays! They're growing up so fast!

(Sfx- Hiso hiso hiso whisper whisper)

(Handwritten- She's so loose!)

Yuki: No no, it's about time those two did SOMETHING with each other!

(Sfx- Are we housewives now?)

Kyouko: Nooo! It's not like that at all you two!!

(Sfx- Gyaaaa)

Jiro: What is it? Are you prepared Kyouko?

Aki: Her husband is here!!

Kyouko: GAH!!

Yuki: Jiro-kun invited Kyouko-chan to come, and she totally accepted!

Jiro: Hm?

Kyouko: NO!! LISTEN TO ME!!

004

Aki: Aww, so oneechan is going with you?

Yuki: You're going back to Jiro's hometown huh?

That does sound like fun.

Kyouko: That's how it is!

Geez, why do you guys always jump to THAT conclusion whenever I talk?

Jiro: What conclusion would that be?

Kyouko: Please just shut up.
Kyouko: Big sis Aya called before.

Since it's summer vacation, it would be nice to return home.

005

Aya: Oh yes, Kyouko-san, would you accompany them?

(Handwritten- Has developed an interest in Kyouko.)

Aya: I will make sure to have tickets sent immediately.

Kyouko: And so, off we go.

Jiro: Is it not because Elder sister thinks we are to wed someday?

Kyouko: Since we've been looking after Jiro and Oneechan here,

I figured it'd be nice to have someone look after me, so off we go.

Yuki: Oooh-.

Aki: So you'll see the hideout of an evil organization huh...

Yuki: You might even get to see what it was like before they disbanded!

Jiro: We've still got a ways to go before we are fully reconstructed, since the house needs to be rebuilt.

It's a nice neighborhood though! Very peaceful.

Aki: A Peaceful organization of evil.....?

But I'm surprised at you.

Yuki: This would totally be the chance for you to like, go all the way.

Kyouko: And you two can go all the way home!

Geez, all your thoughts are below the belt--.

Eiko: Ah, Kyouko-chan.

(Sfx- Gacha clack)

006

Eiko: I'm sorry!!

I won' t be able to come with you guys!

Kyouko: Huuuh?!

Eiko: I've got lots of interviews on the day of departure.

So I'll join you the day after that.

Kyouko: Whaat?! Does that mean that I'll be alone with Jiro?!

Girls: Kyaaaah!!

Yuki: Oooh I finally get time alone with you Kyouko!

Aki: Oh Jiro!!

(Sfx- Gashiii griiip)

Kyouko: STOP THAT!!

(Handwritten- Hmm)

Eiko: Listen Jiro, I don't want any monkey buisness okay?

Kyouko-chan is our guest.

Jiro: Okay.

007

Jiro: That is right!! This is Kyouko's first time of going to (kyuushu) isn't it?

Wonderful! I shall take the lead, and make sure it is a wonderful experience for us both!!

Yuki: What kind of lead do you mean?!

(Sfx- Kuwaaa roaaar)

Kyouko: How many times do I have to tell you not to say things that cause misunderstandings?!

As if I'm going to believe anything you have to say!!

(Sfx- Gatsu smack)

Jiro: Nugoh?!

(Sfx- Zuuuu)

Eiko: Now now, simmer down Kyouko-chan!

You'll only be on the train with each other for half a day.

The day after that, I'll be on my way! So don't worry!

Kyouko: Grrrrrr....

008

I can't sleep...

Why do I have to ride a train with HIM?!

(Sfx- Jita jita jita hata hata rooll roll roll roll)

We'll look like a happy couple!!

Why me?! What did I do?!

More like, why am I even letting this get to me?!

It's just Jiro right?!

….How do I feel about Jiro in the first place.....

009

(Sfx- Pa beem)

Jiro: You rang? Kyouko?

Kyouko: Jiro!?! Were you listening to me?!

Jiro: No, I just tuned in....

(Sfx- Gabaaa gaaaah)

Jiro: I can't sleep,

When thinking about our trip tomorrow.

Kyouko: Huh?

Whaat?! So it's getting to Jiro too?

Well...he is a guy after all....

Jiro: I'm a bit worried,

That you won't be accepted by father and his peers.
Kyouko: Bwhaaaah?!

Wh—What are you talking about?!

010

Jiro: You are my underling,

But I wonder if father and his peers will understand?

Anyway, there's no need to worry. I'll do what I can to smooth things over.

What is the matter?

Kyouko: ----I should have figured....you're just a moron after all....

Why the heck am I overthinking things about this idiot----?!

(Sfx- Bosu bosu bousu smack smack smack)

Kyouko: It's enough to drive a maiden insane!!

Jiro: What is wrong Kyouko? Are you that happy to meet my father?

Kyouko: Shut your mouth and go to bed!!

(Sfx- Chun chun tweet tweet)

011

Jiro: Whoa!

So we'll be returning on that?

Kyouko: Yeah...we will....

Nngh...I couldn't sleep at all.

What the heck am I doing to myself....

(Sfx- Zawa zawa rustle rustle)

Aki: Couldn't sleep Kyouko?

Yuki: Did you two have an exciting evening?

(Sfx- Zawa zawa rustle rustle)

Kyouko: Shaddup.
012

Yuki: Ooh, I can totally see it, they went all night long didn't they?!

Aki: All night long?

Kyouko: SHADDUP!!!

LOOK! YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY!!

(Sfx- Mukiii)

Eiko: Okay okay, that's enough.

No more fooling around you two.

(Sfx- Pan pan clap clap)

Eiko: And here are your tickets Kyouko-chan.

Please don't' lose them.

And you guys should try and have a good time!

This is our way of thanking you for looking after us every day!

Kyouko: Oneechan....

013

Kyouko: Okay!

Well, off we go!

Good luck on your interviews Oneechan!

Eiko: Thanks!

Aki: Ah I'm sorry Eiko-san.

It's not like we mean harm when we poke fun at Kyouko.

But watching Kyouko go on a trip is like being left at home while mom goes on vacation.

So we're happy, but a bit sad yanno?

014

Aki: Ah...wha?

Eiko: Hm? What?

(Sfx- Pushiii sshhhff)

Jiro: Whoooa...

Jiro: So this is the Shinkansen?! I've never ridden one before!

I'm sure I can learn plenty here!!!

015

{It's been a long time since I've gone on a trip.}

Jiro: There's too much to examine in a mere 5 hours.

Kyouko: Although, never would have imagined it would be with this guy.

Jiro: Where are our seats Kyouko?

Kyouko: Oh right...um...
.
(Sfx- Pomu pat)

(Sfx- Pomu pomu pomu pat pat pat)

Jiro: Hm? What is the matter?

(Sfx- Goso goso rustle rustle)

016

Kyouko: I think I lost them.....

The Tickets are gone!

(Sfx- Gogogogogogogogo rmmmmmmmble)

(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo rmmmble)

Eiko: Heheh A trip is bound to run into trouble.

And that trouble doubles when there are two people invovled.

(Sfx- Murya murya murya peel peel)

017

Eiko: And from trouble, affection takes root and blossoms to life!!

And of course, to get things started I swiped the tickets!!

(Sfx- Gyupiiiiin gleeeeeaam)

(Sfx- mosha mosha chew chew)

Pochi: What about your interviews?

(Sfx- Hyouko peek)

(Sfx- Mosha mosha chew chew)

Eiko: Oh those? A lie of course.

You think I'd miss out on an event like this for an interview?!

Pochi: People who are jobless sure have a lot of free time.

Kyouko: What'll we do?! They'll think that we snuck aboard for a free ride....

Jiro: Calm yourself Kyouko.

It's important in a time like this to keep a level head.

And think clearly about what our next move should be!

Kyouko: U, Uh yeah!

Jiro's actually...rising to the occasion?!

Jiro: First off, we must do one thing----

018

Jiro: Strip search.

Kyouko: WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINKWE ARE?! OF COURSE YOU CAN”T DO A STRIP SEARCH YOU IDJIT!!!

HEY!! WHERE ARE YOU TOUCHING?! STOP IT!!

???: Look at those two!! They're hugging!!

???: What a bold couple!!

Kyouko: STOP GAWKING AND SAVE ME!!

(Sfx- Buaaaaaaa)

{And so as the clouds parted that morning, the two were thrown into a suspiciously familiar lovey dovey journey.}

Yuki: Oneechan, I expect a detailed report upon your return!

Aki: Kyouko's got it rough....

{What kind of various events await Kyouko? Till next time!}
