Hajimete No Aku 75

You'd think with a deck that Kimura of all people bought, there'd be at least one 'Play naked marco polo' card.

(Black box- The youngsters living it up comedy!!)
HAJIMETE NO AKU
(Side text- The newest volume of the manga #6 will be out in stores on August 18th!!)
(Other side text- They’re excited to be off to their destination, but what will happen when gals and guys collide? The Kyuushuu trip arc starts!!)
FUJIKI SHUN.
Chapter 75: Fearsome trap.

002
(Side text- First stop on the Shinkansen is Shinyokohama heading towards Hakata.)
Aki: Jan,
Jiro: Ken…
All: Pon!!
(TN- It’s rock paper scissors, Japanese style!)
Aki: How….how could I lose?!
Yuki: Yay! I got the Kamameshi!!
(TN- Rice, meat and veggies served in a small pot.)
Kimura: I got the teriyaki lunch box!
(TN- It’s a cooking method more than a food…you broil things with sweet soy marinade.)
Jiro: Let me see what I got!

003
{Hey all, It’s me, Watari Kyouko.}
{I’m currently en-route with some friends to Jiro’s house in Kyuushuu.}
(Handwritten- All right! Rice and beans!!)
(Handwritten- This lunch looks pretty tasty.)
(Handwritten- Really?)
(Handwritten- Bean bread…)
{The beach house went over well, and we got the money to afford the trip.}
{The Shinkansen left the station at noon with no problems.}
(Handwritten- If only I had a job…)
(Handwritten- Have a good time~)
{Before we left, Aki’s dad had a few…issues with her being so far from home,}
{But after Aki ‘patiently’ explained everything to him, he was more than happy to let her go.}
{Eh, I guess with Oneechan going with us (as a responsible adult), he was able to rest easy.}
(Handwritten- This beer is awesome!)
{Although, I wonder who’s going to be looking after who…}
(Sfx- Buhaaa *burrrp*)

004
{Shumai Lunch box.}
(780 Yen.)
(TN- It’s a delicacy from Kanagawa prefecture. Delicacy as in, manufactured there.)
(Sfx- Paku *chomp*)
Jiro: It’s superb! There’s defiantly a marked difference between train lunch boxes and normal ones!
Akagi: Now THIS is what a trip is supposed to be like!
(Sfx- Wai wai)
Aoki: Although looking at a certain someone’s sad widdle face is kind of hard man.
(Sfx- Guuuuu *rrrrrr*)
Aki: Dammit…
Yuki: Now now, I’ll give you some of mine.
Jiro: But to think that the lot of you would want to come to my abode…
Couldn’t resist the allure of our evil organization could you? No problem, I’ll induct you all!
Kimura: Nah, we’re just comin’ to hang out.
Eiko: Everyone sure is energetic huh?
There’s still about 5 hours until we reach the station though.

005
Eiko: Don’t overdo it, you don’t want to be worn out by the time we get there, right?
Yuki: Ooh! It’s Mt. Fuji!
Eiko: WHOA! THAT’S AWESOME!!
Kyouko: Oneechan….
{Thirty minutes later. (Hammatsu)}
(Handwritten- This invention is cool Akuno.)
(Handwritten- Of course! It brings both comfort and music to the person using it.)
(Handwritten- Take a picture!)
(Handwritten- All right, I got it.)
(Handwritten- I got some tangerines! Wanna bite?)
(Sfx- Wai wai)
{One hour later. (Nagoya.)}
(Handwritten- I think I got sunburned at work..)
(Handwritten- That’s why I wore two sets of clothes.)
(Handwritten- That’s what you always wear, Jiro-kun.)
(Handwritten- By the way, aren’t you hot wearing that?)
(Handwritten- Not really?)
(Handwritten- That’s a president for you.)
(Handwritten- It’s just weird..)
(Handwritten- Hey miss! Do you want a tangerine?)
{An hour and a half later. (Shinosaka.)}
(Handwritten- Uno!)
(Handwritten- Where’s Tsuutenkaku?)
(TN- Literally means ‘Tower that reaches heaven.’ It’s in Osaka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ts%C5%ABtenkaku)
(Handwritten- Geh!)

006
{Two hours later.}
Aki: Gah, I’m bored out of my mind…
Akagi: There’s still two hours to go…
Yuki: I’m all uno’ed out…
Jiro: Isn’t the Shinkansen amazingly fast?
It’s hard to believe that it took us an entire day last year!
Midoritani: You’re sure full of energy huh? Jiro-kun.
Kimura: I guess the time for ‘that’ has come…
(Sfx- Gasa *shfft*)
Kimura: The dare punishment game!
(Sfx- Baaaan)

007
Kyouko: Trap punishment game?
Kimura: Dares are the basis of the traps in the game.
See the ‘dares’ on the back of one of these cards? When a person draws one from the deck, they have to do whatever is written!
Its thrilling not knowing what traps are waiting!
Jiro: Dare game…?
Akagi: Why do you have those in the first place?
Kimura: Hmph. They’re normal to have when you’re at a goukon.
(TN- Goukons are kind of like mixers, where people (usually single) get together and hang out with other single people. Think of it as speed dating with twice as much awkwardness.)
Aoki: You walk around with those….?
Jiro: Punishments are ghastly! Especially when you’re caught by the allies of justice!! They could elicit all kinds of hell upon a person…
Will there be…bleeding in this game?
(Sfx- Gaku gaku *shiver shiver*)
Midoritani: It’s nothing like that.
Aki?: Sounds fun. Let’s do it.
???: Poor man’s style sound good?
???: Yeah, go ahead and deal.
(TN- Daihinmin. Literally ‘Grand poor person.’ It’s a sort of card play where people draw cards, and whomever gets the strongest deck first wins.)
Midoritani: Oh wow! There are all sorts of dares…
Huh?

008
(10 of spades- Put your head in the lap of the person to the right for 10 seconds.)
(3 of hearts- Player must (cut off) favorite type (cut off.))
Midoritani: LAP RESSST?!
Aki: Aren’t like…all of these really embarrassing?
Kimura: Oh dang, I guess I should have looked at ‘em better before buying!
Akagi: You’re so bad~!
Hehehehe….
(Sfx- Pen *pat*)
Kyouko: But these are..
Jiro: Are you frightened, Kyouko?
Kyouko: Huh?
Jiro: If you’re afraid of dares at this level, you’ll never learn to stand firm against your fear!
Now, let’s do this!!

009
Jiro: Pass…
(Sfx- Zuuuun *droooop*)
Aki: Hah! Too bad, next up!
Kyouko: Learn the rules before you flap yer gums.
(Handwritten- First.)
Jiro: Ugh..
Akagi: Bring those dares on!
Yuki: I wonder what’ll come out?!
Tell me, tell me!
Jiro: Ngh…
(Sfx- Pera *flap*)
(Three of diamonds- Talk about your first love.)
Aki: About first loves?
Kyouko: Whoa, it’s plain and embarrassing!
Kimura: Though with girls here, could It be…
Aoki: That someone will say ‘Kyaah! To be honest I’ve always liked you’ or something?
(Sfx- Mon mon mon *fidget fidget*)
Yuki: I like, doubt that.

010
Yuki: In any case,
Jiro-kun! Let’s hear about your first love!
Jiro: Hmph.
(Sfx- Baaaan)
Jiro: In short, you wish for me to discuss the first woman I had feelings for?
Kyouko: You HAD someone like that?
Jiro: At one time, yes.
It was our neighbor three houses down…an old lady named Shirane.
Everyone: Huh?
Jiro: She’d always give me nice things when I went over to her place, so I made it a habit.
I loved going there to play, it was a first love of mine..
(Sfx- Pipi)
Yuki: Stop stop!!
I wasn’t talking about something like that, more like…a girl who makes your heart leap out of your chest!
(Handwritten- Girls sure like lovey-dovey stories…)
Aki: If you think back, I’m sure you can remember your first love!!

011
Akagi: You talk about first love this and first love that…but do you know what it is?
Aki: WHAT?!
Jiro: Hmm..
If it’s a feeling like that, it’s without a doubt Kyouko who is my first.
(Sfx- Pon *pat*)
Even now, my heart is racing simply thinking about the power I can unlock from her scrappy body…
Kyouko: I KEEP TELLING YOU TO QUIT SAYING THINGS THAT PEOPLE WILL MISUNDERSTAND!
He’s talking about MODIFICATION! You guys should know that by now!
(Handwritten- Is afraid that if she stands up, he’ll get hit, so he’s keeping her down.)
Midoritani: I don’t think I could ever be that forthcoming…
Yuki: I knew I could count on you Jiro-kun!
Aoki: If only I could say stuff like that about Watari-san…

012
Everyone: However, Jiro’s already had the first move! This ‘dare game’ is only going to get more serious from here on in…
So now, it’s time to play for keeps everyone!!
(Handwritten- I won’t lose!!)
{Put your head in the person to your right’s lap.}
{Say something you’d like to say to the opposite sex, but don’t.}
Aoki: My muscles move, wanna feel?
Aki: Don’t undress!!
Yuki: I do!
(Sfx- Piku piku *ptt ptt*)
Aki: I, I am Nakachugawa Akiho, I’m sixcheen.
It’s a pwesure to meet chuu.
{Introduce yourself in baby talk.}
Yuki: Pweased to meet chuu tuuu!!
(Sfx- Gabaaa *graaab*)
Aki: GET OFF OF ME!!
(Sfx- Jiii jiii *staaaaaaare*)

013
{One by one, the lesser dares were revealed and preformed.}
{Everyone kept the mantra ‘I won’t let this dare get the best of me’ in mind, and continued to amp up their game.}
{Finally the home stretch came.}
Jiro: Prepare yourself!
Jiro: And here we go…
Kyouko: Guh!!
???: Finally it’s her turn!
What will Watari-san’s dare be?
Aki: Yaay! Now everyone will have dwon a dawu!
Aoki: Nice work Akuno!
Akagi: You two can stop now.
Kyouko: I didn’t think Jiro would be the one to dare me..
Jiro: Hahahah! Now, your dare is at hand!!

014
Kyouko: But this totally isn’t fair…he got something easy like talking about his first love…
If I got that one, the actual answer is ‘I haven’t really yet…’
Aki: Liar! You’ve got to have met someone!!
Yuki: You’ve got Jiro-kun!
Kimura: Don’t go playing dumb!
Kyouko: That’s what I’m sure will happen…
Aki: Let it be the first love dare! I want her to tell the truth about Akuno!
Aoki&Kimura: Her first love has got to be me!!
Midoritani: I highly doubt that.
{Although everyone here is in high school, it’s obvious what’s on their minds.}
Akagi: It’s obvious who her first love is!
Yuki: Go ahead and draw!
(Sfx- Petsu *pat*)
(Sfx- Baaan)
{Blow into the person on your left’s ear.}

015
Kyouko: Blowing into his ear? Well, that’s easy enough to do…
Aki: Dang.
Aoki&Kimura: We wanted to hear her confession…
Midortani: I’m telling you, there is none!
Kyouko: You’re the one on my left Jiro…
(Sfx- Kurui *spin*)
Jiro: Wait! My ears are my weak spot…
I pass! I don’t mind doing a dare instead!
Kyouko: Shut your mouth! It’s all over now!
If you don’t stop squirming, I’ll give you an all expense paid trip to the celing!
(Sfx- Kiiitsu *screeeee*)
(Sfx- Gataaan *thuuunk*)
Akagi: Ngh!
Midoritani: Whooa!!

016
Everyone: Whaaaaaat?!
(Sfx- Batsu *Swiff*)
Midoritani: Ki---Kiiiiiss?!
Yuki: Mixing mouths and touching cheeks!
(TN- The Japanese word for ‘kiss’ is ‘chu’. Which is also the Japanese word for ‘squeak.’ Hense the world’s most popular rodent, PikaCHU, and Yuki’s marvelous outfit. Icon please!)

017
Akagi: Could this be the trip that changes everything? Are you guys all going to be this forward?
Aoki: Maybe this summer….I might get kissed by a girl…
Midoritani: Ugh…
Aki: We’re playing a game you guys! More like, don’t look at me like that!!
Yuki: Awww…who knew that you guys were so close already!!
Kyouko: WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!!
It was because the train hit the brakes all of a sudden!
It was an accident!!
Jiro, you say something too…

018
???: Aaaah!!! She broke Akuno!!
???: Kyouko, just what ARE you?! To be able to do that with a kiss..
What a powerful smooch you have!
Kyouko: Wait! I didn’t do that!
Jiro! Hey Jiro!!
(Sfx- Waaai)
Jiro: I told you my ears are my weak spots…!
Though, I feel kind of good…
{And so…}
(Sfx- Paaaaaaah)
(Sfx- Fuwaaaah *Yaaawwwn*)
Eiko: What a good nap…!
{Even before getting to Kyuushuu, Kyouko had already made the first move.}
Kyouko: I’m TELLING YOU!!
Yuki: How did it feel?! You gotta tell me!
Jiro: Well, it felt like my body was entranced with a magical energy…
Kimura: Sounds hot man!!
Watari-san is pretty kinky huh?
(Sfx- Wai wai wai)
Eiko: Whoa, they’re just exploding with energy! That’s high school kids for ya!
PA: Next is Hakata; the final stop.
(Side text- Plenty is happening in the Kyuushuu arc! Expect a whole lot more next issue!!)
