Hajimete No Aku 84

Told you there'd be no Dragon till the weekend. :) I wonder if THIS Kurosawa is related to THAT Kurosawa....c'mon Fujiki, don't waste this foreshadowing!

???: Thank you very much!

(Side text- The day before the culture festival, Jiro and Kyouko who are on the committee are....)

Kyouko(?): The Mitsubakeouka high school culture festival...

Will be tomorrow! We hope to see you there!

All right!

All of the fliers have been handed out!

(Sfx- Waaa!)

Kurosawa: Nice work.

Now more people will be coming...

But what matters now is what we'll do when they come.

Kyouko: All right Jiro!! Let's get back to school!

Jiro: Yeah!

Kurosawa: But this certainly is amazing..

HAJIMETE NO AKU

Kyouko: Sorry we're late, but everything looks great!!

Jiro: You all were able to prepare to this extent?!

(Sfx- Gaaara *claaater*)

004

Jiro: What?

Aki: Take thaaat!

(Sfx- Supapa thoook)

Jiro: Nguh!!

Kimura: I cut another bystander....

Jiro: WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

Aki: Our bad! We're just so revved up you know?

Kimura: I went overboard, I daresay.

Yuki: So? What do you think of our Edo teashop? Awesome right?

005

Kyouko: Wow, it's perfect!

Aki: The interior was a lot of work.

Yuki: It was tough making all of the outfits for the waiters though.

Aki: But we had to do it, this wouldn't work if everyone didn't look the part.

Kimura: I'm telling you, the naked cafe would have been awesome.

(Sfx- baan fwff)

Aki: Do it by yourself then.

Yuki: We've got two for you!

Jiro: Ooh, A samurai!

Yuki: All we need to do now is to get the outfits ready for you and the sword fighters Kyouko-chan.

We'll be working all night long.

Kyouko: Ah, I see.

Sorry, you're doing so much for us...

I know it's got to be a huge pain.

Aki: Heh..

Yuki: What are you going on about, my friend?

006

Aki: WHO WOULD PASS UP THE CHANCE TO HAVE A SLEEP OVER AT SCHOOL?!

(Handwritten- Hey hey~)

Aki: The classrooms at night, the school building at night, and the erased chalkboard at night!!

I've even got my sleeping bag ready!

(Sfx- Ban Ban ban)

Yuki: Who wants snacks?

Kimura: Come on in.

Jiro: It's like overnight camp!

Aki: We're getting to do what we want by helping you out.

Yuki: So don't worry about us!

Kyouko: Oh? All right.

Akagi: You sure said it, you delinquents!

(Sfx- Garaaa claaater)

Shizuka: Jiro-san!

Midoritani: Good work everyone!

007

Midoritani: Need any help?

Yuki: Ooh! Even Shizuka-chan is here!

Kimura: Full force huh?

Aki: Man, you guys bored or somethin'?

No helping it!

The night's still young you guys, lets do this!

(Sfx- Waaa)

Everyone: All right!!

008

(TN- Those fingers...)

Kimura: And so I told those guys after soundly schooling them...

'This school is my property'....

And that's only one of my 27 stories of honor....

(Sfx- Geeen drooop)

Kimura: Hey!!

(Sfx- Suukaaa snrrrrr)

Aki: Dude, as if anyone is going to stay awake to listen to your lies.

Kimura: Wha?!

Akagi: The one about you getting married twice in middle school was a bit much.

Yuki: I'm totally sleepy...

Midoritani: But there's still so much to do...

Aoki: What are you doing Kimura?

009

Kyouko: If we're sleepy, someone should buy coffee.

(Handwritten- There's a vending machine on the floor below.)

(Handwritten- It's been so long since I've had some!)

(Handwritten- You poor thing...)

Shizuka: That would be great!

Jiro: Jaken then?

???: First is rock!!

Jan ken...

(Sfx- Zashaaaoooo fwossssh)

Aki: Have fun!

Kyouko: One of you come with me!

Yuki: I'm totally scared, so no~.

Kyouko: Why did I get stuck doing this...

(Sfx- Yochi yochi yochi wibble wibble wibble)

Kyouko: It's sooo dark...

Is there someone hiding in that corner?!

010

Kyouko: No...no this is the best part of a culture festival!!

I...think...?

Kyouko: It's fine!

Fine...

(Sfx- Datsu dash)

Kyouko: ….NOT!
Ugh!!

(Sfx- Don Thunk)

Kyouko: Hiiii!!!

(Sfx- GYAHHH!!!)

011

(Sfx- Gakoon ka-thunk)

Kurosawa: Is this enough for everyone?

Kyouko: Yeah, thanks!

Kurosawa: I had no idea that people were still in there. You scared me you know?

Kyouko: Ah, sorry...

Kurosawa-san, why are you here in the middle of the night?

Kurosawa: I am the leader of the performance committee, so I have the responsibility of seeing things out to the very end.

Kyouko: By yourself?

Kurosawa: Yes.

Kyouko: She's amazing....Kurosawa-san sure takes this seriously.

There's so many types of people on this world...

W—well, why not come and help us? It must be lonely hanging out here alone, right?

You should come with me!

012

Kurosawa: Thanks but no thanks. I'm fine.

It's better that I work on my own.

Kyouko: Ah.. I see.

Let me ask you something though, why did you practically scream and jump through the roof when I bumped into you earlier?

I may have yelped at best.
Kurosawa: I don't have to answer that.

I've got my own duties, and this is an iron-clad rule.

You guys are free to do whatever you want though, I won't bother you.

Kyouko: Okay...

But you're incredible Kurosawa-san.

I guess the performance committee needs a person like you at it's head...

013

Kurosawa: What are you talking about? You're on the same committee as I.

Besides, you've done more than plenty to help our culture festival.

I'm a bit envious of you.

(Sfx- Gyuuu grab)

(Sfx- Bun bun bun fwif fwif fwf)

Kurosawa: We both want it to be a success right?

Well, I'll see you.

Kyouko: Ah! Kurosawa-san!

(Sfx- Chaa swf)

014

Kyouko: Let's do our best tomorrow,

To make this culture festival the best ever!

Kurosawa: Okay.

Good luck to all of you.

(Sfx- Datsu dash)

Kyouko: All right!

Kurosawa: Good luck everyone...

Especially your cousin....
015

Aki: You're late Kyouko!

Kyouko: Sorry everyone!

???: Let's get this going again!

(Sfx- Piii beeep)

(Sfx- Pipipipi beepbeepbeep)

(Sfx- Pipipipe beepbeepbeep)
