FUJIKI SHUN.

HAJIMETE NO AKU.

002

{New years eve.}

(Sfx- Hah)

Kyouko: 2.0-chan, do you have any more glass cleaner?

2.0: Yes, just wait a moment and I'll get it.

(Side text- As the year draws to a close, the Watari family does some cleaning...)

Dad: I've got the sacred shrine rope here, Kyouko.

Kyouko: Good! I'll hang it up!

Eiko: So here we are at the years end....

Man, that year just flew by!

And I thought I'd be able to find employment this year....too bad.

Pochi: Can't find a job you aren't looking for. Try the unemployment agency, ya bum.

(Sfx- Hah hah pant pant)

003

Eiko: I'll find one! You watch you bad dog!

(Sfx- Bun bun fwiff fwiff)

(Sfx- Hyoi Hyoi hyoi wiff wiff)

Pochi: You're just all talk, as usual.

Jiro: Kyouko! The ceiling on the second floor is clean!
What now? Floors?

Tell me! Tell me now so we can finish and head out!!

Kyouko: Calm down. We don't leave till tonight.

Dad: Oh? Are you going out Kyouko?

Kyouko: Yeah, we wanted to watch our first sunrise of the new year at the temple.

Dad: That sounds fun.

Eiko: Ahh, to be young and in high school again..

Dad: Eiko-chan, don't you have a boyfriend to head out with?

Eiko: And what do you mean by that pops?

Not having a boyfriend makes me feel kind of violent, if you know what I mean.

(Sfx- Sawaa glaaare)

(Sfx- Hiii!)

004

Jiro: Oh?

Kyouko: There are tons of people here!

Jiro: Where are they?

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

Yuki: Ah, Kyouko-chan! Jiro-kun!

Aki: Over here!

Kyouko: Ah! Aki, you're wearing a kimono!

Aki: Only 'cause my dad wouldn't shut up about it.

Jiro: So you came too, Hanako?

Hanako: Go-Good evening Senpai!

Midoritani: Seems that Hana looks up to you.

Aoki: There sure are a lot of girls here.
Akagi: All the flowers we could want!

005

Jiro: But these people are really amazing...they like temples this much?

(Sfx- Zawa zawa hustle bustle)

Midoritani: It's because this place is famous.

Aoki: We'll probably be waiting in line for two to three hours.

Jiro: Seriously?! Then I'll use one of my inventions...

Akagi: Hold on there, Akuno.

This is the end of the year. Try to have some class.

At least tonight, we're gonna do things right!

Jiro: I see.

Kyouko: But the line is really long!

Aki: Then we'll have to move quickly!

???: All we have to do is make a dash and get there before midnight.

Without getting lost, we all gather at the temple.

006

(Handwritten- Senpai! We dont' have time to waste!)

(Sign- Oracle)

(Sign- New years fortune// Happy new years.)

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Midoritani: Hey Aoki, aren't you and the others takinge tests?

Aoki: Yeah, we've still got about two weeks left, and the big ones are coming up.

So I'm gonna make a wish for good grades.

Jiro: Hm?

Huh?
(Sfx- Kyoro Kyoro spn spn)

Kimura: What's up Akuno?

Jiro: Where are the others?

Kimura: Huh?

007

Yuki: Hm?

Where is everyone?

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Aki: Huh?

Where is everyone?

(Sfx- Ze zeh hah)

Jiro: And it would appear they have become lost.

Well...I guess I shouldn't have expected anything else from them.

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmble)

008

Aoki: AKAGI YOU BASTARD!! TRYIN TO GET A LEG UP ON THE GIRLS ARE YA?!

Kimura: GIIIIRILLLLS!! WHY AREN'T THERE ANY GIRLS HERE?!

Jiro: Calm down, both of you!

(Sfx- Atafuta fwfff)

Jiro: Midoritani, we should contact them..

Midoritani: HANAAAAAA!! DON'T LET THE BAD PEOPLE TOUCH YOOOOOOU!!!

Jiro: YOU TOO?!

Aoki: I'm not getting them on the phone!! What's going on?!

Jiro: I'm telling you two to calm down!! We just need to gather everyone together..
Kimura: Oooh...me likey ladies, they smell good...

(Sfx- Furaa *flitter)

Jiro: WHERE ARE YOU GOING, KIMURA?!

This is bad, we've been thrown into a huge panic!!

Ugh..the lot of you are pests!!

009

{Team Kyouko/Yuki/Hanako.}

Hanako: Our phones aren't working...

Kyouko: No big deal, we'll just have to find our way to the meeting place.

Yuki: Now, like wait. It's just us girls after all...

How about we have a session of girls talk?

Hanako: Girls talk?

Yuki: Like, for example talking about boys we like....and EVERYTHING in between.

Kyouko: Who cares about that...

(Sfx- Kaku kaku wibble wibble)

Hanako: Um—Watari-senpai, are you Akuno-senpai's girlfriend?

Kyouko: Huh?

Whaaat?

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Yuki: Oooh, a disturbance in the force, Kyouko-chan?

(Sfx- Bikuuu poooit)

010

{Team Akagi//Nakatsugawa.}

Akagi: No bars.....

Aki: Whyyyy?! Of all the people why did I have to get stuck with him?!

(Sfx- Furu furu wibble wibble)

Aki: And there's not a thing I can do about it...!

(Sfx- Sowa Sowa wib wib)

Akagi: It's still a long way from here to the meeting place..

What do you want to do, Nakatsugawa?

Aki: Eh?! ME?!

We run!!

(Sfx- Baaan)

Akagi: W—Hold on, what did you say?

(Sfx- Buun buun fwiff wfff)

Aki: It's not new years if we aren't with everyone, so lets run to meet them!

(Sfx- Kara clack)

(Sfx- Datsu dasssh)

(Sfx- Koro clatter)

Akagi: Hey! Wait Nakatsugawa!!

011

Jiro: Ugh, I just barely managed to stop these fools...!

(Handwritten- Hanaa)

(Handwritten- Unfaaaaaaair)

(Handwritten- WOMEN!!)

Jiro: We're here at the gathering place but...

It'll be midnight before long and they're still not here..

Should I go look for them....?

Akagi: I hate to say I told you so, but...well. Yeah. You can't go running around in a kimono!

Aki: Ugh...owww...

Akagi: You don't get a lot of room to move in a Kimono, so falling over is pretty much a given if you run.

Aki: Ugh, shut. up.

Ngh...I didn't even want to wear this thing, and this is how I end up..

This is so pathetic, I think I'm gonna cry....sigh...

012

Akagi: Get on.

Aki: Huh?

Akagi: You want all of us together for new years right?

So get on already.

Aki: Huh? B-but I uh..

Akagi: It won't do a track team member any good to have a busted leg.

013

Akagi: You should listen to your senpai once in a while!

Aki: Don't go getting turned on by this, okay?

Akagi: Do I look like the kind of man who'd sexually harass a woman who's hurt?

Aki: But with the Kimono I can't...

Akagi: Oh yeah, right...

Aki: Well...um...how about...

014

Aki: You carry me like a princess..

Jiro: What are you two doing here?!

(Sfx- Gasaaah shssh)

Akagi: Ooh! Akuno! Nice timing! Nakatsugawa injured her leg!

Jiro: What?!

Aki: Eh?

Yuki: C'mon, tell us! I can see it totally written over your face!!

(Sfx- Suta suta suta tpmtpmtpm)

Kyouko: We have to hurry back, or we'll be late!

G—geez, at this rate I’m really going to start talking...

I have to hurry and find everyone..

But where did they go now?!

015

Kyouko: Hm?

This is..

Announcer: Everyone, now we go to the main event!

The count down!! 10!

016

Everyone: We made it!!
