Hajimete No Aku 80

Chapters like this depress me. ;_; Not cause they're boring or anything, but because I STILL have no idea what I'm going to do with my future.

HAJIMETE NO AKU
Chapter 80: Life survey!!
FUJIKI SHUN.
(Side text- Summer vacation was a blast!! Now we enter the new school semester with gutso!!)
(Bottom text- Summer vacation continues! Just open up a copy of Volume 6, now in stores everywhere!)

002
(Side text- After a long break, the new semester begins!!)
(Handwritten- Good morning!)
(Handwritten- Long time no see!)
(Sfx- Zawa zawa *hustle bustle*)
Shizuka: Long time no see everyone!
Have you all been well?
(Sfx- Gara *clatter.*)
Yuki: Hey there, Shizuka-chan!
Aki: ‘Sup?
Kimura: The beach house was awesome!
Shizuka: Was Kyuushuu fun? Oooh, I wish I could have gone!
Yuki: It was a lot of fun!
We got to help an evil organization!
Aoki: And an ally of justice was there.
Akagi: We’ve got plenty of pictures too.

003
Saburo: I would have gone too, if I didn’t have to head back to pops’s place.
It was tough being in los Vegas. There’s nothing there but the slots day in and day out.
Yuki: Well done~.
Shizuka: Hm? Where’s Jiro-san?
(Sfx- Kyouro kyouro *glance glance*)
Midoritani: Oh, if you’re looking for Jiro-kun…
Jiro: I must say we’ve got some impressive photos here, Kyouko!
You make a stunning section chief!
Want to see…them?
Kyouko? Hey Kyouko?
Um..
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *rmmmmmble*)
(Sfx- Puuushi *hmph.*)
004

Midoritani: During the trip, he did something to upset Watari-san it seems…
Kimura: Good for him.
Shizuka: My chance has come!!
Aki&Yuki: Heheheh…
Aki: Hate to break it to ya, but their fate is sealed.
Yuki: Not only their fate, but their lips too!
Aki: They’re so innocent, it’s adorable!
Shizuka: I can finally h—hang out with Jiro-san!!
Teacher: All right, in your seats.
(Sfx- Gara *clatter*)
Teacher: Man, can’t you guys go one day without causing an uproar?
(Handwritten- I was so close!)
Guys: ‘Scuse us!
Teacher: Eh, it’s fine if you’re energetic,
But this is the second part of your second year.
Which means…

005
Kyouko: The life survey huh….
Teacher: As hard as it might be for you guys to believe this, we once had to write up one of these things.
Like you, we had all sorts of hopes and dreams, and writing them down is the first step to achieving them.
Kyouko: Easier said than done…
I don’t have any dreams….
So how can I plan out what I don’t have?
(Sfx- Chaa)

006
(Top text- Live Survey. Middle text: 4th class, Name- Watari Kyouko.)
(Number 1: Evil organization.)
Kyouko: Well, they did say I make an awesome evil section chief….
Maybe it’s something I can make a career out of.
Nonononononono!!
(Sfx- Goshi goshi *sssh sssh*)
Kyouko: Am I really that useless without Jiro?
At this rate, I’m…
Eiko: Got some Jiro on your mind?

007
Eiko: You know we’d love to have you aboard…
So why not go ahead and be Jiro’s wife?
Kyouko: WAAAAAAAH!! Oneechan!!
It’s not like that!
Eiko: No need to be shy now!!
Hahahaaa!!
(Sfx- Patan *thunk*)
(Sfx-Dota dota dodta *tmptmptmp*)
Kyouko: …Crap!!
She’s sure to start spouting nonsense to others now!!
I have to write something else on my plan or else!!
(Sfx- Goooo *roaaaar*)

008
Aki: What did I write…
On my life plan?
Kyouko: Yeah, I dunno what I want to put down.
So I’m asking others for an opinion.
Though, I figure you’d want to be a track star, right Aki?
Aki: Well, it’d be nice and all,
But I know it’s not possible.
See, eventually I want to get into a really good college, maybe on a physical fitness scholarship. Though to do that, my grades are gonna have to get better.
So I’m gonna work hard to get into college.
Kyouko: College?
Wow! To think that you’re gonna take your studies seriously!
Aki: Well, it’s not like I really want to…

009
Aki: But there are lots of paths that lead to college.
Just keep looking, and you’ll find yours.
Kyouko: Oh.
Shizuka: Hm? My life plan?
Of course, I’m going to be an ally of justice.
If that doesn’t work out, I’m gonna be a good wife.
Aoki: I’m gonna be the big man on campus! I want me some of that college life!
Akagi: As do I. I’ve been studying hard for this.
Midoritani: I’d like to get into an art school.
Kimura: I’m joining a special defense force! Otaku hang out there all the time I hear.
(TN- Think the Otsuu imperial protection squadron from Gintama. If you don’t read Gintama, think lots of greasy fan boys combining their power to protect a 2D or 3D product that doesn’t need protecting.)
Minori: A filthy rich celebrity!
(Handwritten- More like, don’t ask me.)
(Handwritten- Minorin!!)

010
Kyouko: Everyone’s already decided their life plans…
A lot of people are going to University…
But what am I going to do?
(Handwritten- E O E E O A U)
Yuki: Louder! And this time, put your whole body into it!
Put your back into it!
Hanako: A E I O U! A E I O U
Kyoko: What are you doing, Yuki?
Yuki: Oh hey Kyouko-chan!

011
Yuki: It’s rare to see you at school this late.
Hanako: H—hello!
Kyouko: Hey! You’re Midoritani-kun’s little sister.
Gonna join the drama club?
Yuki: My life plan?
I totally, like haven’t thought of it.
Kyouko: Huh?
Seriously? But with all of your hobbies, I thought you would have SOMETHING in mind…
(Handwritten- How about the cosplay or acting?)
Yuki: Well, I like those things….
But I dunno if I want to plan my life around them.

012
Yuki: As long as I’m doing something I enjoy every day, I’ll find something that suits me just fine!
I think!
(Sfx- Baaaa *fwaaash*)
Kyouko: I see….
But when it comes to stuff I like,
I can’t really think of anything in particular…
Yuki: How about Jiro-kun?
(Sfx- Kiiiraaan *sparkle*)

013
Kyouko: Wha…
What are you….
(Sfx- Dobaaan)
Yuki: Don’t play dumb! I already know everything!
Kyouko-chan, I know that you’re in love with Jiro-kun!!
(Sfx- Dokiiin *throoob*)
Yuki: Or do you always, like, kiss boys you don’t like?!
Hanako: Sh—she—kissed him? A, amazing!!
(Sfx- Hawawaa)
Yuki: I know right? They’re totally in love!
That’s why you should quit playing hard to get, and write ‘Jiro’s wife’ as your life plan…!!
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *rmmmmmble*)
Kyouko: You were watching….?
Yuki: Ah, oops…
Kyouko: YUUUUUUUUUUKIIIIIIII!!!
???: Wha wha…aaaaaaaaah!!
(Sfx- Waa)

014
(Sfx- Hah zeeh hah*)
(Sfx- Zeh hah)
(Sfx- Gogogogogogo *rmmmmmble*)
Kyouko: WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US WAS AN ACCIDENT!!
RIGHT, JIRO?!
Jiro: Y---yes ma’am!
(Sfx- Kuwaaa *roaaar*)
Eiko: Y---you’re scaring us, Kyouko-chan…
Yuki: I’ve never seen her this mad before…
Aki: Quit talking!
(Sfx- Gaku gaku *shiver shiver*)

015
Jiro: I had a feeling you were upset, Kyouko.
I had no intention of drawing your ire with our lip to lip exchange.
Please forgive me for my indiscretion!
Kyouko: Huh? Ah…um…
I never said it made me mad or anything…
I just…wasn’t ready….you know?
You should think of my feelings too…
(Sign- I’m sorry for kissing you, Kyouko. – Jiro.)

016
Kyouko: WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?!
Jiro: I figured that the best way to convey my feelings was with a poster!
I’ve made sure to post my apology everywhere!!
Kyouko: GYAHHHH!!!
(TN- For the love of....okay okay, this is what we’re gonna do. I’m just going to translate all of them, and you readers at home can assign whichever one you want to whichever object.)
(Signs- Forgive me, I never meant to kiss you, Jiro; I’m at fault, Jiro; I’m sorry Kyouko; So very sorry Kyouko, Jiro; I’m sorry Kyouko; Find forgiveness, Jiro; Please forgive me for kissing you, Jiro: Sorry, Jiro.)

017
Jiro: I’ve made it painstakingly clear how sorry I am.
So how is…
Kyouko: You…
{YOU ULTRA JACKASSS!!!}
{UNGH?!}
Kyouko: WHY DID YOU WRITE ALL OF THIS?!
IT’S JUST EMBARASSING!!!
(Sfx- Gosu gasu *TOK TWAK*)
Jiro: But I’m apologizing, aren’t I?
Yuki: So…they, like haven’t made any progress?
Aki: She’s going medieval on his ass, as usual?
Elko: Boooooring.
Kyouko: Geez, you’re such an idiot!!
Jiro: Nngh…
(Sfx- Buru buru *shiver shiver*)
Kyouko: Ugh….
{But…}

018
{It’s the days like this that are the most fun…}
Kyouko: All right, get this cleaned up on the double!
Yuki, you guys help out!
(Sign- Sorry, Jiro.)
{Although, I still have no idea what I’ll do in the future….}
Kyouko: By the way…
What did you write on your plan?
Jiro: Evil organization of course.
Kyouko: Makes sense…
What should I write then?
Jiro: Hm?
Why, ‘Evil organization’! I thought you already had written that, right?
I thought you wanted to be my henchman?
Kyouko: WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT, MORON?!
(Sfx- Bishiii *TOK*)
Jiro: OW!!
Eiko: Remember, you have to graduate high school before you can be a section chief!
