(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmmble)

Kyouko: Um....Oneechan?

Jiro: What is troubling you sister? Did you not sleep well?

Eiko: Funny you should mention that.....Since it seems like you guys slept pretty well.

003

Eiko: MEANWHILE I WAS WORRIED AND CHILLED HALF TO DEATH SEARCHING FOR YOU GUYS IN THE SNOW!!

HOW COULD YOU LEAVE POOR EIKO-SAN ALL BY HERSELF?!!?

(Sfx- Waaaaaah)

(Sfx- Suka suka snrre snrre)

Eiko: How come you left me out in the cold my siblings?!

I was sad! And lonely!

I'll never trust in anyone again!

Kyouko: Geez....you're overreacting...

Jiro: Sister has always been full of drama.

2.0: But Eiko-sama is crying...

Cheering her up a little bit wouldn't hurt....

Kyouko: Yeah...I guess.

Okay, okay! I get it...Sorry about that Oneechan..

If there's anything we can do to make up for this...

Eiko: Aaaaanythiiinig?

(Sfx- Kurui spin)

Eiko: Roooon!!

Mentanbin Three colored Doradora Haneman 12000!!

(TN- I don't know ANYTHING about Mahjong, so you guys have a choice here. I could go learn how to play it, and then translate this thing maybe three years from now, or I could kind of wing it, and give you a wiki article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahjong Rules: http://mahjong.wikidot.com/ Japanese style dawgs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_yaku)

Jiro: Whaa!?

(Sfx- Zukgyaaaaaaah)

Eiko: All righty! Looks like I'm still on top!!

All right, now time for punishment!

Go buy me a juice!

???: Get me one too!

Jiro: Graaaah!! Am I their gopher?!

(Sfx- Datsu Dash)

Kyouko: I was thinking you'd have something eviler in mind, but it turns out that you just want to play Mahjong huh?


Eiko: I've been itchin' to play lately!

2.0: This is my first time playing this game.

Eiko: You guys had better forget about sleep tonight!

We're going to have fun till the sun comes up!

005

Eiko: Maybe we'll even be able to create some everlasting memories of our onsen trip this way!!

(Sfx- Baaaaaah*)

Jiro: I bought it!

Kyouko: You'd make a great old man....

{Punishment game, third round.}

2.0: I- I've removed it!

(Sfx- Poooon pop)

Kyouko: T---This is so embarrassing...

{Punishment game fourth round. Dressed as a puppy police officer.}

Eiko: Hahahahah! This is awesome!!

(Sfx- Kyah kyah hahah)

Kyouko: I knew It would come to this.

But at least she seems to be in a better mood.

2.0: It's already 4am~.

Eiko: Well then, how about we have a last round?

And the final punishment game will be...

006

Eiko: The loser has to take one order from the winner of this round!

(Sfx- Piku poit)

Jiro: Intriguing! I'm game!

Kyouko: Wait!

2.0: An order huh...

Jiro-sama, you must transform me right away!

Jiro: Understood!

2.0! You're superb!!

2.0: You're making me blush!

(Sfx- Gakiiiiin claaang)

2.0: I'm game as well!

Kyouko: 2.0-chan, you too?!

{Heheh...there's only one left now...!}

007

{After all of my troubles, the least that Kyouko-chan and Jiro can do for me is to kiss~!}

{The problem here is getting Kyouko-chan on board....}

Kyouko: ...Fine, I guess I can't help it.

If the two of you are going to do this, I'll join in.

{She, She took the bait..?!}

Kyouko: I suppose...

I'll just have to take this seriously now, huh?

(Sfx- Cha clack)

Eiko: Huh?

008

Kyouko: Ron!

Tanyo Dora 1- 2000!

(Sfx- Supaaaa paaan)

Kyouko: Tsumo!

Eiko: She's awesome....!!

(Sfx- zuzuzuzuzuzuzu)

009

Eiko: Kyoko-chan, you...you were like a different person....

(Sfx- Jara jara jara clatter clatter)

Kyouko: I was only humoring you before Onechan.

Although I've never played the real thing, I'm pretty good at the arcade version.

I should add that I participated in a net tournament held all over the country

Mahjong is all about speed.

The faster your hands move, the more likely it is that you'll win.

Jiro: She's one hardcore gamer....

2.0: I wasn't able to follow at all...

(Sfx- chaaa clack)

Eiko: Hmph!

Not bad Kyouko-chan.

Hiding your true ability until now huh?

But look at this.

(Sfx- Kuruuu spinnn)

010

Eiko: Kan!!

(Sfx- Kashaaaa claaack)

(Sfx- Sotsuuu shfft)

Eiko: Kan!!

(Sfx- Bikuuu pooooit)

Eiko: Kan!!

(Sfx- Kashayatsu clattter)

2.0: Oh my!!

Jiro: What the.....?!

(Sfx- Chaaa clack)

011

{Tsumo!!!}

{Chun, Sha- Toitoi Sankantsu Rinshan Dora 8's plan of 15 han! Yakuman count of 16000, 8000!!}

Kyouko: To force a Dora out like that....

And such a high Yakuman count?!

(Sfx- Gataa Clatter)

Eiko: Sorry but,

There's no speed that can outrun destiny!

They call me the Exploding Dora Queen, Eiko-san!!

(Sfx- Hahahah!)

Kyouko: Ngh...!!

012

Kyouko: Her strength is amazing!!

I should have expected this from Oneechan!! Her luck is incredible...!!

Kyouko: She's managed to get 2000 points in one turn!

But...

(Sfx- Jya jya clatter clatter)

Kyouko: I'm not going down that easy!!

{And so, Kyouko and Eiko's turn after turn battle unfolded.}

Kyouko: Pon!

Chi!!

Eiko: Richi!

Kan!

{Before long, the rivalry that had grown one step at a time drew in everyone.{

{And at last the final round!}

{Nancha Kyouko: 41500}

{Toncha Jiro: 1500}

{Shacha 2.0: 14500}

{Beicha Eiko: 42500.}

(Sfx- Chaaa fwisssh)

013

Girls: Richi!!

(Sfx- Charaaa Clatter)

2.0: They've both used Richi!!

There's no way for me to enter now!!

Jiro: Hmm.

Eiko: Not bad Kyouko-chan...

{Eiko's holdings.}

{Kyouko's holdings.}

Kyouko: Oneechan!!

{It was at this time that something similar to respect was born between these two bitter adversaries---!}

{Even if there weren't a punishment on the line, these two would still tear up the field with their hot blooded match----!}

014

Both: All that's left is to....

(Sfx- Tatsu swiff)

Both: Decide this match!!

That one!!! Ro----

Jiro: I've got something...

How many points is it worth?

{Daisangen, Suanko- DOUBLE Yakuman!!}

Eiko: Wha?

015

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo Rmmmmmble)

{D—Daisangen Suanko?! DOUBLE YAKUMAN?! And the father plate?! He's got 32000?!}

{You're kidding!! When did he get that....?!}

Jiro: Hm? I just picked up the scraps that you two left behind.

I figured they may come in handy later, so I kept them together....

{With 2.0 out of the match,}

{Jiro rises from the ashes with a 97500 point victory.}

(Handwritten- Jiro-sama!! You're incredible!}

(Handwritten- Hahaha!)

2.0: Now then Jiro-sama, what are your orders?

(Handwritten- I'll gladly allow you to modify me.}

Eiko: Kiss Kyouko-chan! Kiss her you fool!!

Kyouko: The next word out of his mouth had better not be 'modification'..

Jiro: I wonder what I should ask for...?

Kyouko: What if...

016

Kyouko: What if he wants something...perverted?!

Jiro: This is an onsen after all, so let me wash your back!

Kyouko: Wha?!

That's not my ba—-

{As if! I'll smack your mouth clean off if you ask for something nasty!}

(Sfx- Saa fwif)

Jiro: Hmm...

{This guy's always up to something perverted!!}

Jiro: This was amusing enough, so let's go at it once more.

Or am I asking for too much?

Kyouko: Huh?

Jiro: Well I know it's not good to stay up late like this,

But I had a lot of fun playing this game.

017

Jiro: Thus, all I ask for,

Is one more game!

Kyouko: O—Oh! Is that it....

Ah—yeah you are a big kid after all...

Eiko: And what's this~? What kind of orders were you hoping for little lady?

(Sfx- Zuiiii oooze)

Eiko: Aww you're blushing! Whatever could be the reason for this red face, Kyouko-chan?

Kyouko: N—No! It's not like that!

Eiko: Were you thinking of something nasty....?

Kyouko: Of course not!

Anyway, he asked for one more game, so lets go ahead and play!

(Sfx- Wata flap)

(Sfx- Kuru spin)

018

Eiko: JUST a game of Mahjong?

Is that all?

Eiko: What kind of things are you going on about?!

I have no idea what goes on in your head--!!

Kyouko: NO! I'm telling you it's nothing like that...!!

{And so, they played until morning...}

Kyouko: Uugh...I'm telling you I don't want my back washed...

Don't move a single finger....

{The way back home was a quiet one for the four....}

{Except for Kyouko's embarrassing sleep talk, that her poor father had to endure...}
Kyouko: What? That's not your back either?

Sorry about that...

(Sfx- Gusu snooore)

Dad: Hang in there Kyouko!! I want to keep eating meat!!

(Side text- Isn't Kyouko's sleep talk just adorable~? Next issue brings us back locally...?!}
