Hajimete No Aku 86

I'm SOOO late now.

(Black box- The feel good sub character comedy!)

(Side text- New developments!!)

HAJIMETE NO AKU

(Back then she was simply the culture festival performance committee member with a taste for perfection... Another time, she was a female student cosplaying at the tea house....but what is her true identity?)

(Bottom text- It's finally here! Volume 7 of the manga hits stores on November 18th!!)

Chapter 86: Kurosawa Akira.

FUJIKI SHUN.

002

(Side text- After the culture fest, Kyouko became friends with Kurosawa-san, but she's a girl with a secret...?!)

{Kurosawa Akira (16) has a problem.}

(Cellphone- Thanks so much for letting me help with the Culture fest! I had so much fun! If you have the time, do you think we could chat again?)

(Next panel- From Watari Kyouko.)

Kurosawa: Watari-san texted me....

{Why you ask...?}

(Sfx- Sara shfft)

003

{She happens to be an ally of justice.}

Kurosawa: Watari-san's cousin is an evil villain!

What am I supposed to do?!

(Sfx- Dododooon thooom)

{Back when Jiro was having an evil organization meeting at his house....an ally of justice attacked them.}

{Unbeknownst to Jiro and his friends, this person had transferred to their school to keep an eye on them. Their identity? Kurosawa-san.}

{Incidentally, she had joined the performance committee, and through that become friends with Kyouko.}

Kurosawa: To have an evil organization return after being completely annihilated is unheard of...

Because of that, special measures have been taken to 'treat' this problem.

That's where I come in....

{But I really want to be friends wih her...}

Kurosawa: She doesn't seem like a bad person either...

There's no helping it, I guess. If a friend texts me,

I should at least take measures to reply. I can figure out what to do next later.

(Sfx- Kiraaa sparkllle)

(Sfx- Hah)

(Sfx- Zatsu sfff)

(Sfx- Garaaa clatter)

005

(Sfx- Sutaaaa tooook)

Kurosawa: An arrow of justice...!

It contains my next orders for sure!

However, why do we keep using this contact method...?

In the age of texting and cell phones, I'd think we could try to step up our game...

I guess this is just the higher up's way of having some fun...

(Sfx- Paraaa fwiip)

(On page- Your mission is to sneak into the Akuno hideout.)

Kurosawa: Sneak into the hideout?

Don't Watari-san and Akuno Jiro live together....?

006
Kyouko: Still, I'm surprised!

If I had known you'd want to come over, I would have made more tea and snacks!

Kurosawa: N—no, I just happened to be in the area so I stopped by!

Please don't worry about it!

I've managed to get in successfully....

Sorry about this Watari-san!

(Handwritten- I'm not sure what the occasion is, but whatever!)

Jiro: Oh? Isn't that Kurosawa?

Dad: Ah, it's nice to see Kyouko's friends.

2.0: Welcome to our abode!

Kurosawa: I'm sorry to intrude!

(Handwritten- They've got a maid?!)

007

{I don't get the impression that they're anything more than a normal family....well besides having a maid.}

(Handwritten- It's been a while since you've brought friends home Kyouko!)

(Handwritten- Oh be quiet!)

{Although, I have to make sure I keep my eyes peeled for any evil plans that Akuno Jiro may be working on! It's very possible that a plot to destroy the forces of justice is being hatched in this very house...!}

Kurosawa: This is my mission..!

Watari-san, I'm deeply sorry for this...

But I must make my heart as hard as stone!

(Sfx- Meraa flaaaare)

Kurosawa: If it's the best anime you're talking about, it goes without saying that it's Underground Kaizer!



I'm still impressed with the director's previous work!

(Sfx- zuiiii)

Kurosawa: I've even got my hopes up for a movie!

Kyouko: Ooh!

I didn't know you liked anime too Kurosawa-san! And you know so much!

Kurosawa: If I get interested in something, I have to know everything about it!

008

(Sfx- Hah...)

Kurosawa: I got so caught up in chatting,

That I forgot about the mission!!

{No good, I've got to start moving, before I lose my chance!}

Kurosawa: Excuse me, I've got to use the bathroom. Where is it?

(Handwritten- Oh, just the bathroom huh?)

Kyouko: It's over there.

{Keep cool, Kurosawa Akira...!}

Kurosawa: Akuno Jiro's room should be on the second floor...

I think that's where I saw him going, so it leaves little doubt..

I have to confirm if he's up to something nefarious...

(Sfx- Gii giii ree ree)

Kurosawa: I've managed to get this far...

009

Jiro: And where are we going?

There's no bathroom here.

{He was lying in wait?}

Kurosawa: Um...it's....

{Does he already know who I am?}

Jiro: Heheh....there's no use in being coy...

I've already had my eyes on you since the culture festival.

Kurosawa: He's going to try and trap me here...?!

(Sfx- Chaaa chack...)

{Transformation goods.}

Jiro: Are you interested in something here?

Kurosawa: I have no choice....

Jiro: Or is it just my...?

010

Jiro: FANTASTIC STOCK OF GENIUS INVENTIONS?!

Go on, partake until your hearts content!!

(Sfx- Baaaan)

Kurosawa: Huh?

Jiro: This is the 'Unnecessary heaven seal'! It reverses lies and makes them true!

(Sfx- Gosa gasa clatter clatter)

Jiro: This one is the 'Desk cleaner'!! It can even get rid of pesky gum stains!!

I knew it, ever since the culture festival, you've been interested in my inventions!

We both have the same interests, don't we?!

Go ahead and look, there's plenty to see! If you want more information just ask me!

It's been hard work keeping Kyouko from trying to clean this place!

Kurosawa: He totally surprised me!

011

{But I won't be fooled!}
{This is a feint!}

{As if Akuno would let me see his real secret lab so easily!}

Kyouko: What held you up?

Kurosawa: Nothing, just got a little distracted...

Ah, sorry, I've got to go to the bathroom again...

If that's the case...

(Sfx- Zazazazaaa sfsfsfsfff)

Kurosawa: I'll look elsewhere for suspicious things!!

How about here?!

(Sfx- Baaaan thudd)

012

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Kurosawa: It's suspicious....but for all the wrong reasons!!

{Small memo, Eiko-san has several different poles hidden in her room. For one reason or another, she really seems to be interested in them.}

Eiko: And who are you? A guest?

Kurosawa: But I know this woman...

The freedom.....Akuno Eiko!!

She's a high leveled chief in the evil organization!

013

Kurosawa: I'm confident that...

Something big is hidden here!

(Handwritten- Could it be you like phone poles too?)

Kurosawa: I'll find it here for sure!

How about here?!

(Sfx- Baan slaaaam)

2.0: Sorry, I'm undergoing maintenance!

Kurosawa: The dog can talk?!

(Handwritten- Runnin wild shogun...)

Pochi: Hey, I'm trying to watch TV here. Keep it down.

(Sfx- Baaan thok)

Kurosawa: Who's huge bra is this?!

(Sfx- Baaan thoom)

(Handwritten- Eiko// Kyouko.)

(TN- I think it's obvious who's is who's, lol.)

Kurosawa: How about here?!

Dad: I'm in here!

(Sfx- Baan thoom)

Kurosawa: I'm beginning to think that there's nothing nefarious going on here at all!

(Sfx- Zazazazaza sfffff)

Kurosawa: But...!

014

Kurosawa: How about here!

{This is my mission!}

(Sfx- Baaan thooom)

Kurosawa: It's so normal...

This must be Watari-san's room...

(Sign- Kyouko.)

Kurosawa: Nothing seems to be the matter here..

Apparently those villains haven't sunk their hooks into Watari-san.

015

(Sfx- Patsuu sfff)

Jiro: Looking for something?

(Sfx- Bikushiii pooooit)

Jiro: Kyouko is the woman I have my eye on, you know?

(Handwritten- Camera.)

Jiro: So you've come to see if what's in her heart is true have you?

Kurosawa: Wh--

What was that?

Jiro: Look over there!

At the opening on the top most shelf!

There's your proof!

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmble)

016

(Book- Even a monkey can, grow a bigger bust through fitness!// Practice for one hour a day for five days a week, and you'll go from an A to an F!)

Jiro: A training book!!

She wants to help me with my modification by training her body! I'm moved!!

Eiko: Hmm, looks like you could use some training too, huh?

(Sfx- Piku poit)

Kurosawa: Wah!!

Stop it!!

(Sfx- Bata bata rub rub)

Eiko: Wha, I can't believe this...there's a size smaller than Kyouko-chan?!

Jiro: Wha?!
017

Kyouko: What are you idiots doing?!

More like, didn't I say stay out of my room!?

(Sfx- Dokaaa thokkk)

(Sfx- Bishiii fwssssh)

Jiro: B---but the guest was...!!

Eiko: Don't worry Kyouko-chan! They'll grow!

(Sfx- Beki pechiii thoook thowoom)

Kurosawa: I'm unclean....!

Kyouko: Sorry about what happened...

They're just weird! Not bad!

Kurosawa: It's...fine.

Anyway, I didn't find anything suggesting Akuno Jiro is up to anything...

Even the freedom, while a little bit too 'free' isn't bad...

{How does she handle living with these villains day in and say out though...?}

Kyouko: What's wrong?

(Jiro's sign- Currently being punished.)

018

{Watari-san is amazing.}

Kurosawa: Nothing...

Nothing at all.

{Mission report.}

Kurosawa: I'll have to stop in again sometime.

{The infiltration of Akuno Jiro's hideout was a complete success.}

{Because of today's success, she decided to hang out there again.}
Kurosawa: I'M NOT SUPPPOSED TO BE THEIR FRIEND!!

I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!!

(Side text- Kurosawa-san, you had such a great time. Next time is a celebratory color page!!)
