(Side text- A single phone call resonates throughout the Watari home....)

(Sfx- Purururuuu riiiiiing)

(Sfx- Pata pata tmp tmp)

2.0: I'm coming~

Hello, this is the Watari residence!

Oh! Good evening Aki-sama!

Aki: Oh hay 2.0-chan. Do you have work off tomorrow?

I hate to bother you and stuff, but I need some help....I just got this phone call see...

2.0: Oh? Akagi-sama has caught a cold?

That is a problem! No need to fret though, you can count on me!

(Sfx- Pikuh poit)

(Side text- The sign that a lovey dovey event is about to occur!!)

(Bottom text- Volume 10 is out in stores! There's a present included!! (The present is under the comic cover!)

002

Kyouko: And so,

Yuki: We're totally off!

Kyouko: To make a house call to Akagi-san!

Aki: …..

Yuki: Oooh, a summer cold! I'm sure you're totally like worried Aki-chan, right?

(Side text- Doesn't a house call to a sick senpai just cause the heart to pound?!)

(Sfx- Baaaah)

Chapter 124: Heart pounding house visit.
FUJIKI SHUN.
HAJIMETE NO AKU.

003

Aki: Dude, he's just got a cold. It's not really that serious.

(Sfx- Nyah nyah grrn grnn)

Kyouko: Oh? But it was serious enough for you to bust out that cute outfit, wasn't it?

And you even bid your parents farewell before we left. I'd say this is fairly serious! Poor thing, lacking in confidence are we?

Aki: It' ain't like that.

Kyouko: Eh?

Aki: He works at our place part time yeah? So my folks are all like, 'go check up on him', cause it turns out he's stayin' out there alone.

So that's why we're taking the train out there now.

Kyouko&Yuki: Whaaat?!

Kyouko: So this is the first time our widdle Aki is going to visit a sick boy's room?! And...it'll just be the two of you!

(Handwritten- You should know that men are wolves!)

Yuki: You've totally got yourself a nice chance for some 'developments'!!

Aki: Ain't happenin.

(Handwritten- Besides, you idiots are here!)

004

Aki: Since we've got a break at the restaurant, I figured it wouldn't hurt to see 'im!

(Sfx- Nyah nyah)

{Though to be honest, I was feelin' kind of nervous about going to see him alone...so I'm sorta glad they came too...}

{I totally don't have the courage to go out there on my own...}

Jiro: To think he's living out there alone.

I'm intrigued to go there and see where he lives!
Aki: But to get a cold during this season.....

I wonder how he's living?

(Sfx- Goton goton clatter clatter)

Kyouko: Musessou? That's here....

Yuki: Wow, it looks super wide...!

(TN- Er, well...I didn't find the kanji that makes it up here per se, but the closest thing I DID find is musessou which means inconstant, unchastity, or unprincipled.)

Kyouko: And so...

005

Kyouko: What is that?

(Sfx- Doyodoya droooopdoooop)

Guy: Hoshit, there are actually high school girls here our dorm!

Guy2: Damn that Akagi, bringin' high school girls into his dorm...!!

Guy3: I'm so damn jealous, it hurts!

Guy4: I daresay, they're all adorable!

Yuki: Is this like, a college dorm?

Jiro: If so, that would make those shifty figures Akagi's senpai.

Kyouko: They're really similar to a certain fanclub.....

Guy: Hey wait! They have a guy with them!!

Guy3: Nugh...he's probably giving the girls a hard time!

Jiro: Greetings! Akagi's senpais! I am Akuno!

(Sfx- Bah wfff)

Jiro: I hate to trouble you, but please allow us passage!

Guy: Heh, so he's a good guy huh?

Guy2: So you at least know how to greet people...that's good.

Guy4: Excellent work, I daresay.

Everyone: So they're good people?

006

(Sfx- Gachaa clack)

???: Why are you guys being so noisy?

I'm expecting people, so keep it down...

Hm? Oh! You guys are already here! My bad!

(Handwritten- Who's he?)

(Handwritten- Wow! He's hot!)

???: You don't recognize me without my glasses?

(Sfx- Cha shfft)

Kyouko: Akagi-san?!

Akagi: Welcome to my humble abode.

007

Akagi: Sorry, I thought I should shower before you get here.

I wouldn't want to be filthy in front of guests!

Guy: You'd better be careful, this guy's got one monster cold.

Akagi: I'll thank you to not enter my room without permission, senpais.

Guys: We wanna see some high school giiiiirls!~!

Guy4: I daresay, at least introduce us!

Guy3: I haven't seen a girl for two years dammit!

Akagi: Yes yes. Now scurry on.

Yuki: College sure is fun!

Kyouko: Really?

(Handwritten- Your senpai sure are interesting!)
(Handwritten- Well, they're decent at least.)

Aki: Thank goodness...he seems to be okay.

Is this really where Akagi is staying though....

It's kinda...

(Sfx- doki doki throb throb)

008

Aki: Filthy?

(Sfx- Gochaa doof)

Kyouko: Have you ever washed dishes?

Yuki: Is this how you, like live on your own?

Akagi: I've been busy!

I keep saying I'm going to clean but things happen~

(Handwritten- Even this wall is dusty.)

Aki: This is how you got a cold in the first place.

Kyouko: Heheheheh...

This is excellent!

Aki's totally going to become his hero~

Yuki: And then they'll fall for each other!

Jiro: No helping it, we'll tidy up!

Girls: You got it!

Kyouko: Now go for it Aki!

(Handwritten- A—all right!)

(Sfx- Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah)

Yuki: Do you always like, wreck the houses of people you have a crush on...?

???: This isn't going to work!

We're gonna have to take matters into our own hands!!

Kyouko: Ah!! Oh no!

Yuki: It looks like we're all out of trash bags! This is a total bummer!

Kyouko: We can't help clean without any more of those!!
011

Kyouko: We're off to buy some more!!

(Sfx- Doya doya wfft wffft)

Yuki: Aki-chan, you take care of things here!

Aki: Eh?!

Kyouko: Let's get moving Jiro!!

Jiro: But we've no need for three people to procure trashbags....

(Sfx- dodododododdo tmptmtptmp)

Kyouko: Shadddup and get with the program!!

Aki: W, wait!!

Akagi: What's up with those three?

Aki: Beats me...?

(Sfx- Burururru veeeeen)

(Sender- Yuki// Subject- Fight on!}

{To Aki-chan. We're going to take our time and leisurely shop for, like...2 hours.}

{That gives you two hours to get 'aquainted' with your man! Yuki & and Kyouko.}

Aki: Those bastaaaaaards!!!

Wait a second! I don't want to be alone with him!

Wh-wh-wh-what should I do?!

Akagi: Hey Nakatsugawa...

Akagi: Nakatsugawa?

Aki: You're up?

014

Aki: Dude you were burning up.

You'd best keep your butt in bed.

Akagi: Ah sorry...I just wanted to look cool in front of the others....

No need for my Senpais to think I'm some sort of weakling.

Aki: Here, it's salt and vinegar soup. I ain't interested in your complaints so drink up.

Akagi: Yeah...thanks.

Aki: Don't go working yourself up or anything, okay?
I heard everything from pops...

You're working to put yourself through school.

Akagi: I'll admit I'm not rich by any means.

(Sfx- Suuuuh siiiip)

Aki: You know...

Akagi: Hm?

015

Aki: You should try to find a job closer to school, dude.

I mean it would be easier than coming all the way out here.

{Although it's fun having you around...}

{I don't want you to work yourself to death.}

Akagi: Well...you're absolutely right about that.

But...

016

Akagi: But it's through working at your place that I can keep in touch with everyone.

Without you around, life's a drag! So I refuse your suggestion.

Aki: Eh?

Wh—what....

I—I see!!

Akagi: Man that food really hit the spot!

Thank you!

Oh, have you started thinking about colleges?

If you have, what's your first choice?

Aki: Eh?

017
Aki: Not yet, no.

Akagi: All right then, in exchange for the food...

How about I give you a campus tour?

Besides that, we can find Akuno and the others!

Come now before we're too late!

(Sfx- Bah fwap)

Aki: What?! H—hey! Wait!

You're sick!!

Akagi: Thanks to your cooking, I feel absolutely fine!

Whether you like it or not, I'm showing my gratitude!

(Sfx- baaan bam)

Aki: W—wait!

I don't really care about what college I'm going to or anything like that...

Akagi: Quit daydreaming and get a move on!

Aki: Don't blame me if you die of your fever!

018

{Meanwhile the other three are...}

Kyouko: Crap! We really did get lost...!!

Yuki: I have to get back and totally like take a photo of Aki-chan's kiss!

Jiro: Please come and save me Akagi!!

(Side text- A cured cold brought this couple a little closer!!)
