002

(Side text- And the curtain rises on a party where everyone is invited!!)

Akagi: Ahem!

I'd like to take this chance to welcome everyone to our Christmas gathering!

With some of the snags we hit during preparation, I almost thought we'd have to cancel----

Everyone: Yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!

Akagi: Ngh!!

(Sfx- Dodododododo tmptmptmp)

Kenta: Hey sis! Is it okay if we eat everything?

(Sfx- Gafu gafu chomp chomp)

Shizuka: Of course not! I brought Tupperware for the left overs!!

Akira: Hey! That's my meat!

Eiko: Meat is not for the weak!!

Everyone: CHRISTMAS RULES!!

Yuki: Wow! The Kusakabe family sure is energetic!

Aki: Eiko-san's pretty hyper too.

Akagi: Save me~

003

Dad: Oh good, this Christmas will be pretty lively.

Aoki: Sorry that we're borrowing your place.

Eiko: No! It's cool, really!

(Sfx- Fun fun hmmph! Harrumph)

Eiko: I wasn't able to get that job as a mall Santa,

So being able to pig out with friends is a perfect way to chase the blues off.

(Sfx- Gefuuu burrrp)

Pochi: Failed to get hired again huh loser?

{Meanwhile the eldest Kusakabe is...}

(Handwritten- Welcome!!)

Aki: But this is awesome. You guys throw a nice paret.

Akagi: We have the Culture club proceeds to thank for that.

I'll make a fortune!!

(Sfx- Datsu datsu dasssh dassh)

Aki: NGAH!!!

Yuki: Oooh! I totally look hot in these!

004

Aki: Hey Kyouko!! Do something about him will ya?

He's your fanboy right?!

Kyouko: IS NOT!

Oh and By the way guys, can I ask why I'VE got to do all of the cooking?!

Aoki: Cause your food is awesome.

Akagi: If you're not the one cooking this feast Kyouko-kun, I'd much rather die!

Aki: LET ME HELP YOU THEN!!

(Sfx- Gyuuuu graaaab)

Kyouko: For crying out loud....2.0 should be helping me here....

(Handwritten- More please!!)

2.0: Ahahahahahaha!!

This Cola is refreshing!!

005

2.0: If you like being stepped on so bad, how about I step on you?

Kyouko: How'd you get drunk off of Soda?

(Sfx- Kera kera stomp stomp)

Kimura: Oooooooooh!!!

(Sfx- Zoku zoku shiver shiver)

Kyouko: Jiro! Do something about 2.0!!

Jiro: Hm.

Shizuka: Ah! Jiro-san!

Thank you so much for inviting us to your party!

Jiro: Ah! Watch out!

I set up a trap there to ensnare Santa.

(Sfx- Sauuu fwaap)

Shizuka: Kyahhh!!

Jiro: Just perfect, Now I have to set it up again!

Kyouko: NO TRAPS IN THE HOUSE!!

(Sfx- Gotsu thump)


Jiro: I was hoping I'd be able to catch you....

Shizuka: And I'm happy to be caught....

(Sfx- Poaaaaan bluuush)

2.0: I sense Evil!!

(Sfx- Biooooon bweeeee)

006

2.0: Come down here at once! It seems someone else here needs to be tread upon!

Shizuka: Go on and try it! I dare you!

Kenta: My meat!!

Akira: Get back here!

(Sfx- wai wai wai)

Aoki: And when did YOU become a ladies man? Ya think I'm gonna let you get away with that?

Akagi: We must instil the fear of Justice in him!

(Sfx- Gyuuuu grnnnd)

Jiro: What?! What on earth did I do?!

Eiko: Wow! Akki's got a monster rack doesn't she, Midoritani-kun?! They're probably really soft too!

(TN- That's how Eiko pronounces the name. 'Akki')

Aki: That's sexual harassment!! Stoppittt!!

Midoritani: Y—You think they're soft?

Kyouko: Hey...

Isn't this just mass chaos....?

Dad: Hahahah, looks like fun though!

Yuki: Go ahead and take a break Kyouko-chan. I'll take over from here,

With Midoritani-kun.


Midoritani: M-Me?

Kyouko: Sounds good.

But now there's no drinks.

(Handwritten- It's empty.)

007

Kyouko: I'm gonna head out to buy some more.

???: Okay, be careful.

Kyouko: Jiro having the party at our place is nothing but trouble...

Kid: Hey mom! Look at that huge tree!

Kyouko: Although, I have to admit that this is the first Christmas that I've ever had with so many friends...

It's actually a little but fun.

{Ever since Jiro came into my life, everything's changed.}

{Before, I was too shy to hang out in crowds, or go to gatherings.}

008

{Have I changed too....?}

(Sfx- Gatsu ree)

Kyouko: Huh? Jiro, what's up?

Jiro: You were here....as I thought.

I came to assist you with the groceries.

Kyouko: Oh? You're actually worried about me?

Jiro: Hahaha! I am a man who looks for every opportunity to learn the ways of you civilians!

(Handwritten- Get yer butt out there!)

Kyouko: Is that before or AFTER your sister forces you to?

009

Jiro: More importantly, these decorations sure are beautiful!

Kyouko: Christmas always brings out this side of people I think.

You really don't know anything about Christmas?

But Oneechan seemed to be familiar with it...

Jiro: That's not true! I've learned plenty from Sir Pochi! Presents, Santa and his Horses!

You Civilians sure have it good!!

Kyouko: Horses?

(Sfx- Bitsu fwap)

(TN- It's written in Romanji, but....UMA is horses.)

Jiro: If I can capture Santa, I can trade him in for a reward and use that money to restart our organization!

No matter what it takes, I will capture him alive!!

Kyouko: ….Good luck with that.

But wow, You really have no idea how this works do you....

Hm?

(Sfx- Yui yui)

010

Kyouko: Whoa, looks like this is a couples retreat...

They probably came to get a good view of the night scenery....

(Sfx- Wai wai wai)

(Sfx- Hah gasp)

(Handwritten- Ooh that's pretty too...)

Kyouko: Hold on a sec!!

With Jiro standing right here with me, what will people think?!

Crap! What'll I do?! If someone sees us it won't be good...

(Sfx- Moji moji wibble wibble)

Jiro: Hahaha...I've already grown wise to your ways!

It's mere child's play to figure out what you're thinking!!

(Sfx- Dokiii tha-thump)

Kyouko: Wha?!

(Sfx- Guuuu shff)

Jiro: It's this right?

(Sfx- Pofuuu glomp)

012

{Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!}

(Sfx- Doki doki doki throb throb throb)

{What is this idiot doing?!}

Jiro: You're cold aren't you?

The best way to keep warm is to stay huddled together.

Jiro: Christmas is all about doing things like this right!

It's a little embarrassing, but I can endure something like this!

Kyouko: Geez, so all he wants to do is to keep warm huh....?

Jiro: Well Kyouko? How am I doing? I'm basically a master of the Civilian mind aren't I?

So how about we talk about your Modification now? Hmmm?

013

Kyouko: Master? Ha! Don't make me laugh.

If you think pulling some fast moves are going to win me over, you're dead wrong!

Jiro: Hm?

I've been practicing this for a while now!

Are you telling me that something like this does absolutely nothing to excite you?!

Hmm?

(Sfx- Jiii staaare)

Kyouko: See, it's no big deal...

I was just getting stirred up for nothing....

014

Kyouko: WHAAAAAAAA?!

(Sfx- Gooooooo roaaar)

Kyouko: Wh—What are they doing out in public?!

This is Christmas I know, but still....!!

(Sfx- Gashii fluff)

Kyouko: Wha?

(Sfx- Jiiii staaare)

015

Jiro: Kyouko! Don't allow your heart to race!

Kyouko: WHAT?! HEY!! WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT TO DO?!?!

Jiro: Stand still!

My hands are shaking, and if you move I'll lose my grip!

Kyouko: Craaap!! He's going to do it for real!!

Wait! We can't do something like....

(Sfx- Hyoi wiff)

Kyouko: Hm?

016

Jiro: Heeeyaaah!!

Kyouko: YOU HAVEN'T LEARNED A DAMN THING!!!

(Sfx- Gasu gasu gasu biff whack thud bam)

Jiro: UGH!!

Eiko: What a scene to walk in on...

Yuki: They like, haven't made any progress at all...

018

Aki: But Kyouko's changed a little bit hasn't she?

Eiko: Yep! And it's all thanks to Jiro!

Yuki: So Jiro-kun, tottally might...


(Sfx- waku waku )

Kyouko: Geez! Now I'm all dirty thanks to you!

(Sfx- Pan pan pat pat)

Jiro: S—so sorry...

Kyouko: You're my ride.

Jiro: Hm?

Kyouko: Piggy back.

Jiro: At least, can I avoid taking paths with hills....?

Kyouko: No! You're being punished!

You'll climb them and like it!

Jiro: Ngh...

(Sfx- Wai wai)

???: It's happening! They're totally happening!!

???: Heh, nice try Kyouko, but we found out your true objective today!
