Rokudenashi Blues 95

Chapter 95: What Goes Around Comes Around

1
Maeda: Sh...Shimabukuro! // Wh...What are you guys doing with him!?

Joe: I knew this wasn't worth it.

Seiji: Shut up, you can't back out now, dumbass.

Joe: .....

Seiji: Hey.

Shimabukuro: .....

2
Shimabukuro: Maeda. Meet us after school.

Maeda: What!?

Joe: ....

Seiji: Heh... // There's a guy in the photo club in your class, right? // You know they wouldn't develop pictures like this in a shop. // We just need someone who's weak, someone we can just scare a little. // Hold on, someone might be up here.

Joe: ....

3
Seiji: Come on, don't tell me you're actually backing out. // We won't even have to actually do anything. // It's not gonna be dangerous at all. // If Shimabukuro and his guys beat up Maeda, Maeda's not exactly going to have much power around here, so we can make things a little better for us. // And if Wajima and the others complain, we can say we didn't know anything. // And we got Shimabukuro under our control now too. // Just develop the pictures, man.

Kazumi:
Oh! It's them! // And they're... // ( They're looking at some film...and one of them's saying the other has to develop it...even though they could just go to a shop... // Oh! I know! // Those are dirty pictures! )

4
Kazumi: ( That's totally what's going on. // Ok! I just have to steal it and tell a teacher and they'll be suspended! // I can get revenge for Katsuji-kun! )

Nakajima: You want me to develop these? // I don't think it's a good idea to trust me with something so... // personal.

Joe: Just do it, ok!?

Nakajima: Ow!

Joe: And don't tell anyone. If anyone finds out, I'm going to throw you into Tokyo Bay with cement shoes, got it?

Nakajima: Oh...ok...

Kazumi: ( Ok! Now I can get them! )

5
Maeda: What the hell's going on, Joe? Huh? // What were you doing with Shimabukuro this morning? // Huh? // If you've got another freaking plan...

Joe: Shut up, we just...ran into him somewhere.

Chiaki: ....

Joe: I don't want to fight you anymore. // I don't know about them, though...

Maeda: What the hell's that supposed to mean? Huh!?

Joe: It means I don't know!

6
Chiaki: Stop it, Maeda-kun!

Joe: .....

Chiaki: Don't go with them after school. // You'll just get into another fight.

Maeda: Cheh!

Chiaki: Maeda-kun! // Toguchi-kun...

Joe: Wha...!?

Chiaki: Something's going on, right? // And you're part of it.

7
Joe: And you're NOT part of it.

Chiaki: Please tell me! I can't stand it when... // I don't want Maeda-kun to... // fight all the time.

Joe: .....

Chiaki: .....

Joe: Are you and Maeda going out?

Chiaki: Huh!? // N...no...it's not like that! Why would you...?

Joe: .....

Chiaki: Huh? We're not even...

Joe: I asked Maeda too.

8
Chiaki: What? // What did he say?

Joe: He said it's not like that too.

Chiaki: Oh...ok... // ....

Joe: ....

Chiaki: ......

Joe: ...... // Can I talk to you for a minute?

Chiaki: Ok...

[Sign: Darkroom]

Nakajima: ... // Wh...Why do I have to develop photos like these? // Ugh...it's nasty... // I have to give them back...

Kazumi: Hey, mister!

Nakajima: Wha...

Kazumi: Why don't you give me those negatives?

Nakajima: Wh...What are you doing? // UWAH!

Kazumi: Hey, give me those!

Nakajima: Dammit, I...I can't get beat up by a girl!

10
Kazumi: HAI-YAAA!

Nakajima: Ow!

Kazumi: Yes! <3

Nakajima: Hey! Wait! Those are... // ( I...I'm dead...I'm dead...my life is over... // And it was so short... )

Kazumi: Haha, take that! // I should know what they are before I go to the teachers... // Let's have a look! // What kind of dirty pictures are these?

11
Kazumi: .... // ( Wh... // What... // Oh my god! I've never seen one before! )

(T/N: The look on her face. My god.)

Joe: I didn't feel like doing it... // So I quit, but...

12
Chiaki: You should...talk to Maeda-kun. // Ok?

Maeda: The hell!? You freaking... // I should have known you were planning something! // You freaking...

Chiaki: Stop it, Maeda-kun!

Joe: ......

Chiaki: He said he didn't want to! // It's not his fault!

Maeda: Kh...

13
Maeda: So what's Shimabukuro's weakness?

Joe: I'm not telling you in front of a girl!

Kazumi: Maeda-kuuun! // Oh! Don't go near him! // You don't know what he'll do to Chiaki!

Maeda: Huh? // What?

Chiaki: Kazumi!

Joe: Hey...how'd you get that envelope!?

Kazumi: GYAAAH! Don't touch me, you creeper!

Joe: Creeper!?

Kazumi: Maeda-kun, look at this! Look! Look, look, look! // He was all like "I'm gonna make Nakajima develop these secret pictures!"

Maeda: Wait, what!?

14
Maeda: Wh...wh...WHAT THE FUCK!?

Chiaki: What is that?

Kazumi: NOOOO! If you look at it, you'll faint!

Maeda: I get it. // That's his weakness. // Maeda; Seiji really likes thinking of rearded ideas, huh... // But... //Pfhhahhahaha... // It looks like a little kid's...

Chiaki: What's going on, Kazumi?

Kazumi: Don't worry, Chiaki!

Maeda: Ok, I'm just going to go meet up with our friend here. // You too, Joe.

Joe: Oh...ok...

15
Chiaki: No! Don't do it! // There's going to be a lot of people there!

Maeda: Dumbass! // Who said anything about fighting them? // I don't even have to. // He's lucky his head got cut out of the picture.

Shimabukuro: There you are, Maeda. // I thought we could finally have a fair fight today but my stomach got in the way. So you can just fight them.

16
Seiji: Heheh...

Joe: Seiji...the picture was...

Seiji: Yeah? Did you get it developed?

Maeda: Before we start... // I managed to get my hands on an important picture. // Anybody want to see?

Shimabukuro: Wh...What!?

Joe: G...got his hands on!?

Maeda: He got them from you, aniki!? The hell?

Joe: No...no, he didn't... // ( Maeda... )

Maeda: So, Exhibit A...

17
Shimabukuro: Hey! Hold up!

Maeda: Oops!

Shimabukuro: No! You...

Other people: Oh... // He dropped it... // Gyahahaha! What is this!? // It looks like a little kid's... // Dumbass! // Gyahahaha! Who is this guy anyway? // Dammit, I can't see his face!

Shimabukuro: ....! // .....

Maeda: What's wrong? They can't tell who it is.

Shimabukuro: Y...you...

18
Maeda: Just tell everyone to go home.

Shimabukuro: Gh...

Maeda: Or should I tell everyone the secret identity of the hairless wonder?

Shimabukuro: Ok! Ok! I get it! // You guys can go home! // I'll take it from here!

Guys: Uh...ok...

Shimabukuro: Kh...Gh... // SEIJI, YOU LITTLE...!

Maeda: Whoa, cool down. // I'll take care of them. // And I have the negatives.

19
Shimabukuro: Uh...ugh...

Maeda: Just go home.

Seiji: Uh...

Joe/Seiji: GWAH! // GWAH!

Maeda: One more time!

Joe/Seiji: GWAH! // GWAH!

Shiimabukuro: I...it's... // IT'LL GROW BACK SOON!

Chapter title note: The original title is a Japanese proverb (人を呪わば穴を二つ hito wo norowaba ana wo futatsu) meaning "If you curse someone, it will rebound upon you"

Well, that's the first time I've ever seen a lack of pubic hair portrayed as a bad thing. Definitely the first time. Very silly. Very silly indeed.
