Hajimete No Aku 7

Feels like I just did one of these. :-P Oh right I DID just do one of these. *Glares at CPU* In any case, looks like we've got the obligatory 'guy wants to marry heroine' type story lines going on. I'm wondering if Fujiki can stay away from the cliche monster.....Let's hope so.

(Handwritten- Underground City Gaiza is about to end I heard..)

(Handwritten- Aww really? I thought they were gonna make it a TV drama...)

???: You there!!

You two lucky ladies!!

Girl A: Huh?

Girl B: You mean us?

???: That's right! I'm talking to you two! You!

For my eyes to have taken in your beauty must mean that I have the luck of the gods!!

Girl: Huh?

Huh?

How fortuitous! I'm so happy! Oh excuse my rudeness!

Girl: Where are you?

(Sfx- Gyoro Gyro 'spin spin')

???: I know for you ladies hearing my voice must be too much to bear!!

(Sfx- batsu 'fwip')

Hahahahahah!

(Handwritten- Eh?)

(Side text- A worldly new development! Yet another weirdo takes center stage!)

002

(Sfx- Buru buru buru 'shudder shudder')

(TN- Aww poor horsey...)

(Sfx- Gogogogogogogo 'ruuuuuuumble')

???: I was wondering if you two fine ladies could give me some directions!

You see I have absolutely no idea where I'm going...
(Handwritten by horse- This is a bit high....)

Girl A: Who is that?!

Girl B: He's a total weirdo!!

(Sfx- Gyaaahh!!)

???: Oh dear! Seems that yet again my reputation precedes me!

Hehehe! Not that having a reputation like mine is a sin!

How troublesome!

HAJIMETE NO AKU

(Side text- It's the first time in his life that he's been exposed to school life! Are you having fun?)

{Draft memo. Although his outfit looks similar to the school uniform, Jiro has in fact modified it to a point that even the finer details are completely different.}

FUJIKI SHUN
Chapter 7: A Fallen soldier's rationale.

004

Teacher: ON YOUR MARK.

Ready...

Go---?

(Sfx- Datsu 'dash')

(Sfx- Nyuu 'fwop')

Guy: Wha?!

Guy 2: Geh?!

Guy 3: Wah!

(Sfx- Doka 'thud')

Jiro: Victory is mine.
Teacher: HEY AKUNO!!!

005

Jiro: What ever could be the matter losers?

Guys: Who's a loser you damn cheat!

Guys: A cape's frikin' no fair!!

(Sfx- Gaaaah!)

Jiro: You're simply jealous that you don't have one of your own!

What's wrong with using what I have to obtain victory?!

Guys: Plenty! We're having a track meet! Not fighting a war dammit!!

Morover, take the stupid cape off!!

(Sfx- Gyun gyun 'rabble rabble')

Kyouko: What are they doing.....

{It's been a week since Jiro started staying over at my house.}

{He says it's so he can study society, and become the next president of the organization, but to me it looks like a waste of time...}

{Though I have to admit, I thought he wasn't going to be anything but a nuicance at first----}

{But he's managed to become pretty interested in school.}

{And he's even managed to get used to the idiots in my class.}

Kyouko: Humans really can get used to anything can't they....

{Well at least for now he's managed to keep his itchy (modification) finger in check.}

Teacher: Watari, you're next.

Kyouko: 'Kay.

{There's no use in thinking about it too much....}

006

(Sfx- Tatsu 'tmp')

Kyouko: Hup.

(Sfx- Bosu 'doof')

(Handwritten- Whoaa!!)

Teacher: Nice work!

Yuki: Nice work as usual Kyouko-chan!

Here are your glasses champ!

Kyouko: Heheh, Thanks!

Aki: Geez! Kyouko beat me!!

(Handwritten- Second place.)

Jiro: Hmph! As expected of Kyouko!

There's a reason why I'm keeping an eye on her after all!

Akagi: Yes, that scrappy body of hers has plenty of dexterity.

She's different from other girls, a work of splendor and diligence!

007

Jiro: But her miniature stature leaves plenty to be desired when it comes to brute strength.

Akagi: Ridiculous! The fact that she's small is what makes her great!

Midoritani: She's small but full of guts!

Kimura: I want her to step on me....

(Sfx- Waai!)

Aki: Hey now boys, settle down, after all this is the females turn on the field.

Yuki: Hmm? Jiro-kun, have you become friends with the Fanclub?

Jiro: Hmph. I'll admit they aren't bad company to keep.

Akagi: We've created a friendship that even outlasts death.

FOR HE IS OUR COMRADE IN ARMS!!

(Sfx- Baan! 'fwaash!'
Kyouko: What on earth are you talking about?

In any case, try not to be polluted with Jiro's habit of peeking in on girls okay?

(Sfx- hiku 'poit'!)

Akagi: Say whaaat? We'd never peek!

Kimura: You're the worst man!!

Aoki: I can't believe you'd stoop that low!

Midoritani: You're unclean!

Jiro: Y-You traitors!!

008

Aki: But you don't have to worry about that Kyouko, since you have the power to keep them in check.

You really should consider joining an after school club of your own yanno?

(Handwritten- Sprinting! Acting! Anything we get to see you in!!)

Kyouko: What kind of power are you talking about?

I'm fine really! I'm not interested in joining an after school club right now.

There's lots of stuff to be done around the house.

Aki: Poor thing, she's more interested in housekeeping than boys!

Yuki No problem! We've all got some suggestions!

Kyouko: Leave me out of it!

Teacher: Hey! Quit dawdling! We're in the middle of a lesson you know!

Aki: Hey Teach---

Aoki: Scatter!

???: Quickly!!

(Sfx Ba ba 'fwish fwish')

Aki: What's with them....

Yuki: No matter! If you're not interested in boys Jiro-kun can handle it!
Jiro: Leave it to me! I'll modify her breasts and she'll have more guys than you can count!

Kyouko: I SAID LEAVE ME OUT OF IT!!

(Handwritten- You look like a stupid little kid with that cape on!!)

009

TV: And in this building, it's said that the ghost of a fallen soldier still haunts the premises...

This is the footage that our researchers were able to gather! It confirms the presence of a ghost--

(Sfx- Gaku gaku 'shiver shiver')

Eiko: BOOO!!

(Sfx- Bauu)

Kyouko: GYAAHHH!!

S—Stop that Oneechan! I have a weak heart you know!!

(Sfx- Gaku gaku 'shiver shiver')

Eiko: Ahahaah! Kyouko-chan, you're not good with this sort of thing?

Kyouko: I haven't liked ghosts since I was a kid!

That's why I never watch this TV show when I'm home alone!

010

Kyouko: How about you Oneechan?

Eiko: I've always wanted to see a ghost.

Jiro: I have no interest in ghosts, unless of course I could modify them.

What's the point or being afraid of something you don't understand?

(Sfx- Pururururu 'riiiiing')

(Sfx- Bikuuu 'poooit!')

Kyouko: Eeeek!!

Geez! Don't scare me like that!!

Jiro: Kyouko has something that she fears.....
Kyouko: Yes? Watari residence.

Ah...Dad?

Dad: Ah Kyouko? Sorry but it seems like the train's running a bit late.

It's really pouring.

Kyouko: That's for sure, it's really coming down.

Eiko: I'll go swing by the station in a car then!

There's a manga I wanted to buy on the way!

(Sfx- Zaaaaaaa 'ssshhhhhh')

Eiko: Well off I go.

(Doghouse sign- Pochi)

011

(Sign on Jiro- Busy with homework.)

(Sfx- Kaki kaki 'clatter clatter')

Kyouko: It sure is nice to have someone else here.

Jiro: Nh?

Kyouko: After all, when you're scared of something, it's no good to be alone right?

At least when someone else is around, it's not so bad to be a little afraid.

Jiro: What do you mean? I don't quite follow you.

When I was with the organization, There was always at least one other person present.

Kyouko: Oh? So there were a lot of people with you?

Jiro Yes. Other than my family there are the countless members...

I didn't see them much though, as I was always doing research.

Kyouko: Didn't you ever go say hi to them when you had a lunch break?

Jiro: There weren't many lunch breaks....

(Sfx- Goro goro 'thooooom')
Kyouko: Well it sounds fun nonetheless.---

012

(Sfx- Katsu 'sheen')

(Sfx- Pishaaaaaa 'bzzzzzzzt')

Kyouko: Wha?!

Jiro: Thunder?

And quite close too.

(Sfx- puttsun 'shsssh')

Kyouko: A power outage!

Jiro: Seems so.

I'll go look at the breaker.

Kyouko: W—Wait Jiro!

Ow!

(Sfx- Gan 'bam')

Jiro: What is it? Wait there I'll be back.

Kyouko: I said wait up for me!

013

Jiro: Wh—wha—what?!

Kyouko: I said it before didn't I? It's better not to be alone in this situation!

Jiro: Wh—Why's my heart racing so suddenly...!

(Sfx- Dokyuu dokyuuu 'throb throb')

Jiro: Could this be one of Kyouko's special abilities? I have to calm down!

Kyouko: The breaker's in the entry hall!

Jiro: O—Okay! I—I uh understand!

Kyouko: H—Huh? Are you scared too? Your voice is quivering...
Jiro: O---Of course not there's nothing to be afraid of! The fallen solider isn't here you know!

Kyouko: Fallen solider? Don't bring him up! I'll get terrified if I start thinking of that show again!!

014

Jiro: That aside, why are you so scared?

You've probably never even seen a fallen soldier up until now have you?

Kyouko: I..I know that!!

But I'm still scared! I can't help it!

Hey slow down when you walk!!

Kyouko: Stop mentioning that show!

If you keep that up he may hear us and appear!!

Jiro: Of course something that stupid won't happen....

Listen....do you hear something?

Kyouko: Hey! I said to knock that off!

Jiro: Ssh!

(Sfx- Pakara pakara pakara pakara pakara hihin 'taptptaptaptptaptp whiiine')

015

Jiro: Hm?

I could swear I hear a horse somewhere?

(Sfx- Pakara pakara 'taptptaptp')

Kyouko: KYAHHH!!

(Sfx- Ga 'grip')

(Sfx- Batsu 'swish')

Kyouko: A fallen soldier! It's a fallen soldier! And he brought a horse too!?!

(Sfx- Pakara pakara 'taptptaptptaptp')

Jiro: Kyouko! Calm yourself! Let go of me I beg of you! If you keep yanking there my heart will burst out of my chest!!

(Sfx- Dogatsu 'Kercrasssh!!')

???: Hiyaaaaah!!!

016

(Handwritten- Ah hello, nice to meet you.)

Jiro: What the--?!

A thief?!

(Sfx- Gyan 'fwooosh')

???: Hahahahah!

(Sfx- su 'pat')

???: I am no thief!

(Sfx- Zupapapapa 'thwak thwak twak!')

017

(Sfx- Baraatsu 'wifffff')

???: Hut hut!

(Sfx- Dokakatsu 'clatter')

(Sfx- para para 'tinkle tinkle')

Jiro: Guh!!

To do that to my cape....!!

Just who are you?!

???: Oh my how rude of me!!

To barge in without first introducing myself.

You see I was just so ecstatic that I forgot my manners!

018

???: My name is Kujou Sukenoshin!!
I have come to claim my future bride Kyouko-kun!!

Jiro: BRIDE?!

{Currently in dreamland.}

Kujou: By the way, may I borrow a bandaid?

When I maid my gallent entry, it seems a shard of glass became lodged in my head! Hahahaha! How troublesome!

(Sfx- Doku doku doku 'throb throb throb')
