(Sfx- Min min min min miiiii ree ree ree reeee)

(Side text- Its when it's late in the season thats the true attraction of summer!)

(Sfx- Min min min miiiiin ree ree reeee)

Kyouko: It's almost here.

(Sfx- Zah sfft)

Aki: Yup, sure is.

(Clock- July 13th (Wednesday.))

{July 13th.}

(Sfx- Nyari griiin)

Everyone: Next week is summer vacation!!

(Sfx- Waaah rooooooar)

???: Yahooo!!

003

{Hey everyone, Watari Kyouko here.}

Jiro: What shall we do this year?!

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Midoritani: How does a camp in the mountains sound?

(Sfx- wai wai)
Kimura: The shops dude! Let's hit the shops!

Saburo: Playing Ninja!

{There's only one more week left before summer vacation, and the weather is heating up.}

{Everyone's tension is at it's max.}

(Handwritten- Last year we went to see an evil organization, so how about we see the allies in justice this year?)

(Handwritten- I'm supposed to be under cover though.)

(Handwritten- I'm afraid that idea fills me with fear. Let's not discuss it.)

{Our conversations now are all about everyone's plans during the break.}

Aki: Dude~!

I almost forgot! I gotta buy a new swimsuit!

My old one's almost completely worn out.

(Handwritten- Were you hoping to give someone a show?)

(Sfx- Munii squeeze)

Kurosawa: What's the matter?

(Sfx- Bikuuu poiit)

Kyouko: Eh?! Er, nothing!

Yukari: Don't forget that you all are third years! You'll need to fit studying in your summer plans as well!

Aki: You're totally revved up for some beach action eh? Sensei.

004

{Meanwhile...}

(Sign- Italian wine and cafe restaurant: Maizeriya.)

(Sfx- Min min miiii ree re reeee)

Shizuka: I'd like to thank the both of you for coming out here.

(Sfx- Zah tpt)

Shizuka: I ask that you forgive me for summining you on such short notice.

{Justice intern// Kusakabe Shizuka. (High school 3rd year.}

Luna: Well? Out with it. Why couldn't you have told me this at school?

{Evil organizational head// Makurazaki Luna. (High school 1st year.}

(Sfx- Ooooooooooh)

2.0: This is the first time I've been in a 'faamily restaurant'.

(TN- Not a mistake, she pronounces it funny.)

{Watari housemaid robot// Kyouko 2.0. (Two years old.}

Shizuka: Summer vacation will be here in no time.

(Handwritten- Sweeet, those girls are all totally cute.)

(Handwritten- Dibs on the maid, brah.)

005

Shizuka: With summer here, there are all sorts of events to look forward to..

Especially us ladies. We have a lot to anticipate.

Like, for example becoming closer to Jiro-san.

Luna: Y—yeah, I am a girl who's a first year in high school now!!

There are all sorts of things I'd like to experience! Like one of those d----d--date things!

2.0: I do wonder if this is what they mean by 'love for one another'?

Shizuka: But during our lodging trip, I realized something.

We're still lagging far behind Watari-san...she's always a step ahead of us...!

I've drawn this easy to reference guide to illustrate my point!

(Sfx- Dooon doom)

(Guide- Distance of the heart.)

(In circle- Goal.)

Luna: W—wait a minute! Why am I so far back?!

2.0: And if we should get closer to him, what would happen? Would we combine?

Shizuka: Hear me out!

(TN- The 'combine' is written in a smaller font than the rest. She's so hnnngh worthy, still believing that sex= super robot combining scenes.)

006

Shizuka: How about for this summer,

we have a truce?

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmmble)

Shizuka: Think of it as a united front! Dueling against Watari-san alone would be hard....!!

But between the three of us, someone's got to have ideas on how to take her on!

We'll be able to manage something together!

Shizuka: Like bringing Watari-san down a few pegs.

Luna: Whoa! You're so evil!!

Are you sure you're not actually a villain? No, wait a SUPER villain?!

007

2.0: I certainly hope you don't think I'll let you off with scheming to hurt Kyouko-sama.

Shizuka: It's not like that! I didn't mean anything! Really!

(Sfx- Chakah clack)

Shizuka: What I'm basically trying to get at here is that we all happen to like Jiro-san!

So, why don't we have Watari-san join in with us? That'd be fine right?

2.0: Well, I suppose there's nothing wrong with that.

(Sfx- Gkacha clack)

(Handwritten- It's back to normal!)

Shizuka: That was close...!

Shizuka: But if all goes to plan, Jiro-san will be....ehehehehe....

2.0: Evil aura!!

(Sfx- Biiiii veeeeeh)

Luna: Are we really going to be okay?

Shizuka: And so our team is complete! We'll name it team 'Jiro Friend'!!

For our mission is to become closer with Jiro-san!!

Luna: There's such a team....?

2.0: I'll thank you not to get in our way.

008

(Sfx- Ikkishi achooo)

Kyouko: Am I catching a cold? Or is it just summer chills?

(Sfx- zuuh snff)

Jiro: Hm? Kyouko? Why are you wearing that?

(Sfx- Gacha clack)

Jiro: Going jogging? That's rare for you.

Kyouko: Eh?! No, it's not like that...

Pochi: A lady's bound to have some pre-summer jitters Jiro. Just leave her be.

Kyouko: ah...?

Jiro: Lady? Jitters?

Dad: Going on a diet to fit in your swimsuit?

Jiro: A diet is it? Well, you did gain 3 kilo recently...

009

(Sfx- Goh goh thok thok)

Pochi: Told you to leave it be.

(Sfx- Shuuuuuu ssssssh)
(Sfx- Tatah tp tp)

Dad: Girls sure are difficult at her age.

Kyouko: Ugh! That's why I hate the men at home.

Don't they know anything about being delicate?

Dammit, I'm gonna get thinner if it kills me...!

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

(Handwritten- I wonder if Kyouko-sama is having fun on her run?)

Shizuka: Heheh, so she's on a diet?

She's hoping to tempt Jiro-san by wearing a perfect swimsuit?

This is our chance!

Luna: Better watch out, or she'll do that thing with her arm again.

010

Shizuka: We're going to sabotage her diet!!

When she fails, Jiro-san will have no choice but to reject her unslightly body!

(Sfx- Baaah)

{Evil organizational head.}

Luna: Whooooa! You really are evil! To think of such a plan....you're actually a demon, right?!

(Sfx- Gaku gaku shiver shiver)

(Sfx- Chah clack)

Shizuka: I was just kidding!

C'mon Robot-san, don't you get it? I'm trying to help her! To suddenly go on a diet can spell trouble for her body!

Even though we're Watari-san's rivals....

You think I'd actually stoop that low?! I'd never perpetrate such an act!!

(Sfx- Don don)

Shizuka: What we're here to do is to stop her from hurting herself!

(Sfx- Daaah fwaaah)

2.0: I misunderstood...! Shizuka-san, you're a wonderful person!

Shizuka: It's fine as long as you understand.

(Sfx- Gasjii graaa)

011

Shizuka: In any case, she needs to eat something!

2.0-san, go to the kitchen and whip something up for Watari-san on the double!

2.0: Understood! I'm off!

Shizuka: Very good then.

But of course you can't go eating whatever you want if you want to lose weight! That's obvious!

Luna: You just used robot-san then?

I feel so bad for her..!

Shizuka: We'll leave her to get the food ready! Our job is to ruin her exercise!!

Luna: B-but I can't let that bother me...!!

You can't lose Luna! This is for Jiro's sake!

Shizuka: When it comes to exorcising, people will believe any quick shortcut anyone tells them....especially the ladies!

So all that needs to be done is to tell a little fib!

(Sfx- Hyoi hop)

Luna: Y—yeah!

Shizuka: Watari-san! If i'm not mistaken, you're on a diet right?

Kyouko: Huh? Kusakabe-san? Luna?

(Handwritten- The most important thing is to eat properly!)

{So after a week...}

012

Kyouko: Awesome! It fits!

(Sfx- Bishii)

Yuki: You're rockin' that swimsuit, girl!

Aki: You lost some weight right, Kyouko?

Kyouko: Yup! I was on a diet for a bit!

(Sfx- Wai wai)

Shizuka: What's that?

Luna: She actually lost weight...?!

Kyouko: Ah! Kusakabe-san! Luna! Thanks a lot!

It's thanks to you that my diet worked!

Kusakabe-san, your advice was most helpful!

013

Kyouko: Those candied centipedes were great!

Shizuka: eh?!

(Sfx- Gogogogogogo rmmmmmble)

Kyouko: Whenever I'd feel tired, I'd eat one of those and get right back on my feet!

They were great appetite suppressants too!

Kyouko: 2.0 even helped by making nutritiously balanced meals!

Thanks so much!

Aki: Kyouko! Don't forget about our plans!

Shizuka: Eh? Haven't you eaten centipedes before?

Luna: As if! More like...

014

Luna: This would be considered a failure wouldn't it?!
(Sfx- Nyah!!)

Shizuka: N—not really!? This is a perfect plan!

Luna: Damn it! Why is it only Kyouko manages to lose weight?

I'm gaining, but it's not in the right places! If only my breasts would suck up some fat..

Shizuka: You too?

(Sfx- Gogogogogo rmmmmble)

Luna: Wait a second! Were you on a diet....WITHOUT ME?! You're dirty, dirty!!

Shizuka: You're not my kid or anything! You could have dieted on your own!! You've no right to criticize me!!

Luna: Shut up, shut up, shut up! Just shut up and give me your boobs!!

I knew I shouldn't have teamed up with you!!

Shizuka: Fine then! When Watari-san is out of the picture, I'll have him to myself!!

(Sfx- Peji peshi peshi peshi dff dff dfff)

Jiro: Ooh.

015

Jiro: I heard about you two from 2.0!

You went out of your way to help Kyouko did you?

Girls: Eh?

Jiro: It's thanks to the two of you that Kyouko tried her very best.

And it appears it paid off! You deserve a reward!

Shizuka: Well..uh...sure?

Jiro: At least allow me to express my gratitude.

To the two of you!

She really looks incredible in that swimsuit!

A real cutie, wouldn't you think?

Midoritani: Jiro-kun, we've gotta get our swim trunks!

Jiro: Ah, of course.

(Sfx- Zahh sffrt)

(Sfx- Poooh fwaaaah)

Shizuka: Heheh...I'm totally in love with him~

Luna: Yeah...that Jiro is something else....

016

Shizuka: He even called me 'cute'! I'm already well ahead of Watari-san!!

Luna: Hold on there girlie! When he said 'cute' he was talking about me! I'm the one he's totally got the hots for!

(Sfx- Kyah kyah)

Girls: Kuuuh

Shizuka: All right! With this the best summer ever is going down!!

Luna: All right! It's on!!

{And so the Jiro Friend Formation....}

{Would lead to a spicy hot summer between it's three members.}

018

Yukari: Well, I did say as three years that you'd have studies to do over the summer right?

You'll have summer courses, because frittering your time away is no good!

Jiro: Summer courses....for two weeks?!

Yuki: Hm? A mountain? Or the sea?

Kimura: Swim suits!!

Kyouko: I went on a diet for this...?!

{And so Jiro and his friends begin their summer vacation.}

Luna: That's lowdown! You're trying to smooze into summer classes with Jiro on your own!!

Shizuka: We're in two different classes!!

2.0: They seem to be getting along better.

{Will Shizuka and Luna be able to overtake Kyouko? Find out in the next issue!}

(Side text- Things were settled with praise from Jiro!! The drama continues it's course into the summer! Next week the summer arc begins!!)
