Margin: The social talk among these adult women is once again not matching up. Is the way to make it through this era here...!?

Yukiji: Hahhhhh.
Yukiji: The world sure has been in a slump recently.

Saki: I know...
Saki: The store hasn't been doing too well.

Makimura: Hehh...
Makimura: So things are bad everywhere...

Yukiji: Well!! It's this era!! It's all this era's fault!! So let's just drink tonight!!
Yukiji: Let's just drink it all!!
Saki: I see. So it's the era that is at fault.
Makimura: Hehh. So all eras have their problems...

03

Makimura: But are you two going to get MARRIED...
Makimura: in order to overcome this era?
SFX: Surprise

Yukiji: Married?
Yukiji: But we can't do that on our own.
Saki: Th-that's right...

Makimura: Then how about you go marriage hunting?
Makimura: I hear that's quite popular recently.

Makimura: Have you heard of it? It's where you refer to men as if they are objects.
Makimura: And ones that make more than ten million yen a year are "high quality" objects.
Yukiji: Wow...
Saki: Th-that's a bit too raw for me...

Makimura: Do either of you have a "high quality" object...
Makimura: near you?
Yukiji: Ehhh...?

04

Yukiji: A high quality...
Yukiji: object...?

Saki: I suppose I do.
Yukiji: Eh!? Seriously!?
Makimura: Wow! What is he like?

Saki: Well...
Saki: He's young and cool...
Saki: and he's reliable.
Makimura: Wow. He sounds wonderful!

Yukiji: What's his occupation!?
Yukiji: What kind of job does that person have?
Saki: Eh? His job?

Saki: He started his own company and store.
Yukiji: Wow!! So he's a young businessman!?

05

Saki: No...
Saki: He's more of a business "boy".

Makimura: So is he a member of the Detective Boys?
Saki: No, that's a bit...

Yukiji: Well, see ya.
Makimura: Thank you for coming today.

Yukiji: Hic.
Yukiji: Maybe I should go marriage hunting...

06

Yukiji: I suppose I am the age to start thinking about it...
Yukiji: but with who?

Yukiji: That's just...
Yukiji: a bit too...

Yakuza: Why the hell are you taking our picture!?
Ashibashi: I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Ashibashi: I was just taking pictures for background material.
Ashibashi: I wasn't trying to cause any problems...
Yakuza: Ah!? I don't care!!!

Yakuza: I'm just going to kick your ass!!
Ashibashi: Eeee!!

SFX: Hit

07

Yukiji: Yakuza shouldn't touch honest people...
SFX: Squeeze...

Box: On that day...

Yukiji: If you don't stop...
Text: Hic
Yukiji: I'll have to break out my drunken fist.
Box: the famous mangaka Ashibashi Gouji...
Box: had a fateful meeting!!

SFX: Collapse

08

Yukiji: Are you hurt?
Ashibashi: N-no...
SFX: Pat pat

Yukiji: Then I'll be going.
Ashibashi: U-

Ashibashi: Um...!
Ashibashi: Wh-what's your name!!?

Yukiji: Katsura Yukiji.
Yukiji: I'm a teacher.

Miki: Well?
Miki: How have things been going with Yukiji lately, Kaoru-sensei.

Kaoru: What...
Kaoru: are you talking about?
Miki: Hmm...

09

Miki: If you keep ignoring her...
Miki: even someone like her...
Miki: will get taken by someone else.

Kaoru: Hah...
Kaoru: SHE'LL be taken?
Kaoru: Like anyone could fall in love with her.

Box: That's what he said.
Box: But if he didn't do anything, she would never be his either.

Kaoru: That's right. How about...
Kaoru: I invite her for some ramen!!
Box: He is a small-scale man.

Kaoru: Oh!!
Kaoru: And there she is.

Kaoru: Hey, Yukiji.
Kaoru: I was thinking we could...
SFX: Screeech

SFX: Open

Ashibashi: I've been looking for you, Yukiji-san.
Yukiji: Hm?

Yukiji: Oh...
Yukiji: You're the guy from yesterday...

Kaoru: Who's he...?

Ashibashi: Thank you so much for saving me yesterday.
Yukiji: Ha ha. It was nothing.

Ashibashi: Anyway...
Ashibashi: I actually came here to thank you...

Ashibashi: but, Yukiji-san...
Ashibashi: will you go out with me!?

Kaoru: Wh-
Kaoru: Whaaat!!?

11

Kaoru: N-no way!!
Kaoru: I can't believe there's another guy out there who would fall in love with her!!
Kaoru: Th-this has to be some kind of mistake!!

Kaoru: And who is he anyway!?
Kaoru: He must be crazy to confess to a woman so suddenly like that!

Hayate: Oh? It's Ashibashi-sensei.
Nagi: You're right!! That really is him!!
Kaoru: Eh!?

Kaoru: You know that guy?
Hayate: Of course we do.

Hayate: He's a famous mangaka.
Hayate: That's Ashibashi Gouji-sensei!!

Kaoru: Wha-...!!?
Kaoru: He's that monster of a mangaka who's said to sell ten million copies a year!?

Kaoru: N-no...!!
Kaoru: Calm down!! Calm down, Kaoru Kyounosuke.
Kaoru: Even if he is a super-famous mangaka...
Kaoru: my Yukiji would never be swayed by someone like him!!!

Yukiji: Eh?
SFX: Blush

SFX: Crack

Yukiji: What are you saying all of a sudden?
Ashibashi: Oh, are you still working?
Yukiji: No, I just finished up.

Ashibashi: Then how about we talk this over...
Ashibashi: while getting some drinks?

SFX: Slam
SFX: Vrrrrrrrrr

13

Hayate: Huh? They just went off somewhere together.

Kaoru: N-
Kaoru: No way...

Kaoru: I kept ignoring her...
Kaoru: and she really got taken away!!!

Kaoru: Gwoooohhhhhhh!!
Hayate: Eh?
Hayate: Eh!?

Hayate: Um...sensei?
Hayate: Wh-what's the matter!?

Chiharu: So you really do love Yukiji.

Hayate: ...Eh?

Chiharu: I got a vague feeling that you did...
Chiharu: when I saw that figurine.

14

Hayate: Eh!? No way! That couldn't be!!
Hayate: It can't be true.
Hayate: Right, sensei!?

Kaoru: I have loved Yukiji ever since we were in elementary school.
Hayate: Ehhh!?

Kaoru: But...
Kaoru: I ignored her and now it's all over.

Kaoru: There's no helping it.
Kaoru: I'm just a PE teacher whose only talent is to make figurines.
Kaoru: Of course she wouldn't fall in love with me.

Hayate: ...Sensei.

Chiharu: No.
Chiharu: It's too soon to give up, sensei.

Kaoru: Eh...?

Chiharu: You need to believe...
Chiharu: that the days you spent together with her...
Chiharu: were not in vain.

15

Box: If you can get that across...
Yukiji: Eh!? That car cost 20 million yen!?

Ashibashi: Yes, but that isn't anything special.
Yukiji: Oh...

Yukiji: Then how much do those apartments you mentioned cost?
Ashibashi: The two together cost about 600 million.
Yukiji: Ehhh!!?

Yukiji: Wow. That's a popular mangaka for you.
Yukiji: We're both referred to as "sensei", but this is way different from a teacher.

Makimura: Are you two going to get married in order to overcome this era?

Box: The same type of sensei and the different type of sensei...

Yukiji: Okay, I've made up my mind!! Um, sensei...!!!
Ashibashi: Yes?

16

Yukiji: How...
Yukiji: do I become a mangaka?

Ashibashi: Um...

Ashibashi: You just have to draw a manga.
Yukiji: I see!!
Box: She is always looking forward.

Nagi: Hayate, I just don't understand...
Nagi: this falling in love thing.
Hayate: Neither do I, milady.

Margin: This is the answer the woman, Yukiji, has come up with based on the days she has lived. The next issue of Sunday will have Hayate on the cover!! Look forward to it!!
