HAJIMETE NO AKU

002
Kyouko: Sorry to keep you waiting…
I made a quick run to the library…
Jiro: Give me a break, my stomach is already empty!
Kyouko: C’mon! Hey, if you can wait till we get home, I’ll give you meat pie!
‘Kay?
(Side text- After school at night, the only students remaining are these two?!)
Kyouko: What are you looking at?
Jiro: It’s my device schedule….
With this I can do maintenance from anywhere.

003
Jiro: This device is purely for my enjoyment though!
(Sfx- Paaa *sheen*)
Jiro: It’s only the most recent of the five thousand devices I’ve created!
Kyouko: How sad…
Then, would you mind me having a look at this one? I want to see whether it’s worthless or not myself!
Jiro: Hm?
Kyouko: Hand it over!
Jiro: Y---you fool! An amateur can’t handle this….!
Kyouko: What’s this? ‘A whip for a queen…’?! And this one…
(Sfx- Pii pii *click click*)
(Sfx- Pii pii *beep beep*)
(Sfx- Pii pii *beep beep*)
Kyouko: What’s that? Warn---ing?
T---This is…?!
What the heck?
(Sfx- kiraaan *sheen*)

004
(Sfx- Biiitsuuu *shhffft*)
Kyouko: Huh?
(Sfx- Doooootsu *Thooom*)
Kyouko: Waaah!
(Sfx- Oooooooooh)
Kyouko: What?
Jiro: You must move at once!!
(Sfx- Gatsu *grab.*)

005
(Sfx- Chun chun chun *choom choom choom*)
Kyouko: UWAAHHH!!
Ngh!!
(Sfx- Dozazazaza *thooomthooomthooom*)
Kyouko: What’s going on?! This is the satellite laser from before isn’t it?!
Jiro: Yes, and now it has locked on to you Kyouko….!
Kyouko: You’re kidding?!
Jiro: I did say that amateurs shouldn’t handle this device didn’t I!
Any device built with evil intent should be handled carefully!
Kyouko: Oh…
Sorry…
Jiro: But this is a problem.
If you go outside Kyouko, you’ll be blasted to smithereens.

006
Jiro: There’s no other way…you should stay here Kyouko.
Kyouko: Huh? Here? Really?
Jiro: I can’t deactivate the lock mechanism from here. I’ll need to do it from the house.
Kyouko: Yeah, but it’s a 30 minute trip to the house…
Can’t you use a cell phone to call the house?
Jiro: No, I’m the only person that knows how to.
Kyouko: Ugh…
Jiro: We’re running out of time here….
(Sfx- Zuuuuun *zzzzzzt*)
(Sfx- Bara *clatter*)
Jiro: Alright! Here I go!!
(Sfx- Datsu *dash*)
Kyouko: Waaaah!! Jiro!!
You’d better get back here on the double!!
If you wander around out there, I’ll kick your ass!!

007
Kyouko: Uuugh….where ARE you Jiro…?
(Sfx- Buru buru gaku gaku *shiver shiver*)
(Sfx- Zatsu *swifff*)
Kyouko: Jiro!!
You’re late!!
(Sfx- Chun chun chun chun *choom choom choom*)
Kyouko: Huh?
(Sfx- Dooon *thooom*)
(Sfx- Batsu *fwiff*)
Kyouko: Uwahhh!!
(Sfx- Dokaatsu *thud*)

008
Jiro: Sorry, I wasn’t able to remove the lock on mechanism! Not only that, it seems to be targeting me!
Kyouko: How’d you manage to do that?!
Jiro: We have no choice but to wait for the energy in the satellite to run out.
(Sfx- Basu *sheen*)
Kyouko: Are you serious?!
Jiro: There’s no need to worry however, as long as we’re in the school then..
(Sfx- Chuuitsu chuitsu *tweak tweak*)
(Sfx- Bashuuuuushuuu *fwooooom*)
(Sfx- Botsuu *weeeooooow*)

009
(Sfx- Pitsu *sssht*)
Kyouko: Kyahhhh!!
Jiro: Guh…the continuous attack has opened a hole!
Kyouko: Uwah!! What’ll we do--!?
(Sfx- Chuun chuun chuun *sooom shoom shoom)
Jiro: Damn…I should have expected as much from one of my creations!!
Kyouko: Can’t you destroy it or something?!
(Sfx- Dotsu *thooom*)
(Sfx- Chuuun *sheen*)
Jiro: But the satellite is in space! What do you expect me to do about it?!
2.0: I couldn’t help but over hear your conversation!
(Sfx- Gara *Clatter*)
Kyouko: 2.0-chan!!

010
2.0: Have you forgotten that I am your greatest creation, Jiro-sama!?
I shall go into space and stop this satelight at once!!
(Sfx- Baaaaan)
Kyouko: Hey! Look at what she’s got!!
Jiro: Wait a moment 2.0! Getting there is fine, but how will you get back?!
You’ll become mere ash upon entering the atmosphere!!
Kyouko: Huh?
2.0: Jiro-sama…
Your feelings for me are more than enough.
I am only a simple robot. Dying for your sake would be a great honor!
Here I go---!!
(Sfx- Booo *fwooosh*)
???: 2.0?!

011
???: 2.0!!
(Sfx- Ooooooooooo *fwooooooosh*)
Jiro: She was too reckless!!
Kyouko: 2.0-chan….!
(Sfx- Pasuuun *ssssshhh*)
Both: Hm?
2.0: Kyaaaaaahhhhhh!!!
(Sfx- Zuuuuun *thooooom*)
2.0: I’m sorry, I underestimated space….
(Sfx- Yoro yoro *wobble wobble*)
(Handwritten- I wasn’t able to reach the stars at all…)
Jiro: Fine fine. Just begin repairing yourself.

012
Jiro: We should be fine down here. This place has an armored covering..
Kyouko: Who knew that there was a space like this underneath the gym…?
Jiro: You never know when a hidden base will come in handy….it’s not yet completed but…
(Sfx- Zuuun *thmmmm*)
(Sfx- Para para *clatter clatter*)
Jiro: We’re going to be here for a while….
Kyouko: Seriously?!
Isn’t there anything we can do?!
There has to be a way to reverse the beam or something right?
Jiro: There isn’t.

013
Kyouko: Y—you’re kidding right? You always have a back up right….?
Jiro: I’m sorry to say, that I really don’t have anything up my sleeve this time.
Kyouko: No way…
(Sfx- Kuraaa)
Kyouko: You can’t be serious!! Is this where my life is going to end!?
(Sfx- Zuuuuun *droooop*)
(Sfx- Koso koso *rustle rustle*)
Kyouko: I’ve never had a boyfriend!! I’ve never been kissed! Heck, at this point, I’d take an indirect kiss!!
(Sfx- Zuraaa *shfft*)
Kyouko: Jiro?
Jiro: The honest truth is that there isn’t a way out of this…

014
Jiro: But we can try to enter passwords to stop the satellite one by one!
However, they are 8 characters each, and one hundred thousand possibilities!
If we want to get out of here, this may be the ony way…
Kyouko: One hundred thousand possibilities.…
Geez…
There’s no other choice but to do this then!!
(Sfx- Batsu *fwiff*)
Jiro: You said it Kyouko!! You work on the top half, and I the lower half!!

015
Jiro: Have you found anything Kyouko?!
(Sfx- Kakakakakakakak *Taptaptaptapaptap*)
Kyouko: No, and you should pay attention to your end of things!
Jiro: Heheheh….perfect words from the woman I have high hopes for!
(Sfx- Kakaka *Taptap*)
Jiro: Kyouko, should this be the end for us….
(Sfx- Doooooooon *thudddddd*)
???: The 16th gate has been penetrated!!
Kyouko: No way!! So the last defense has been broken?!
(Sfx- Bitsu bitsu *beee beee*)
Kyouko: Jiro, what if this IS the end for us?!
If you’ve got something romantic to say, don’t keep it to yourself---!!
Uwahhh!! It’s coming!! Can we still make it in time?!
(Sfx- Kaaaa *sheeeen*)

016
Jiro: No…
We’ve done it, and with three seconds to spare.
(Sfx- Datsu *tp*)
(Sfx- katsu *sheen*)
(Sfx- Pon *poof*)
(Sign- Access complete.)
(Sfx-Pushuuu *fooosh*)
???: Password entry accepted. Enforcement measures complete.
Kyouko: It…stopped?
???: Now entering sleep mode.
Jiro: Yeah.

017
Jiro: It would take days to figure out a correct password out of one hundred thousand.
So with that in mind, I whipped up a program that tries one password every second.
It was a stroke of luck that we made it in time though…
Kyouko: Jiro!! For the first time ever, I actually believe that you’re a genius!
Jiro: For the first time?! So what did you think of me as before now?!
This meat pie is incredible…!
Kyouko: Yeah, they’ve never been this good before…

018
{I guess he’s only useful at times like these…}
Kyouko: By the way, what were you going to say earlier?
Jiro: Hm?
Oh yes…
Jiro: I was merely thinking ‘Should this be the end for us..’
I would have no choice but to consider modifying you for space travel.
Kyouko: What?
Jiro: Although that would be a bit of a problem.
I’d have to make it so you could travel space on your own…
{I should have known that this fool and romance don’t mesh together…}
(Sfx- Hah…)
Kyouko: Of course you’re thinking of that…
Even when your life is in danger…..*sigh*
Jiro: Why are you sighing?
Kyouko: Nothing…dummy.
(Side text- He really is a dummy (lol) Though, it’s situations like these that bring out flavor.0
