'Round About Midnight

Page 28
I guess it's... around 9:30 now...

It's 9:40 huh...

*Gacha-

*Gacha-

Page 29
The room at the end, huh?

*Gacha-

How's it look? Anyone around?

Yeah, the light's on in the room at the end at the bottom.

What? Isn't there supposed to be no one around on Saturdays?

Page 30
Don't worry about it, it's the room down there all the way at the end.

Well, as long as we're quiet about it.

Who is it...? Oosawa...?

Heya

Yo!
Everyone's already here, huh.
*Gacha-

How is it today? Nobody around in the apartments, right?

The guy downstairs goes to bed pretty early, but the dude to the right of us might be coming home pretty late.

Page 31
But I don't think there'll be much of a problem.

Then it's about time,

we get started.

Shigemasa, get it out...

Here we go~

*Ban

Ready...?
Hurry up!

*Tan

Waa-!
The tiles, the tiles!
Hey~ No~ It's mine! My mahjong!
It's been a whole week~ I've missed you so much!

Page 32
Now then... [The table cloth is now mahjong themed and not star/planets themed ala first oneshot]

Hey, hurry up and discard something already...
Mmmnnn

Are you really that desparate...

for me to call riichi?! Riichi! [calling riichi means you discard everything except the tile you are waiting on]

Page 33
Shit

All right, It's a kanchan. I'm in tenpai now... [kanchan: some hand, tenpai: 1 tile away from winning]
Should I call riichi, or should I...
*Kachi Kachi

That damn Oosawa... He's probably already in tenpai even though I'm still in Iishanten. [Iishanten, idk, probably some state that's not as close to winning as tenpai]

Maaaan, why's my luck so bad with tsumos. [tsumo, your draw, winning by draw]

What's he talking about...

Oh ho, here's a dora. [Dora, indicator for bonus hands or somethin']

Iinpin... Iinpin... Let it be an iinpin. [pinzu, a tile type, Iinpin = 1 pinzu]
*Shuba-

Ain't much of a hand so it'd be better if I just played it safe.

Hmph

Damn, I'm not drawin' anything good...
*Kachin

Page 34
He cut his tsumo again, could he be in... tenpai?

Is Konno waiting on a pinzu? [circle tile]
What wrong? Aren't you pretty close?

Damn.

That look in his eyes...
I guess he must not be in tenpai yet...

What the heck were you thinking calling that riichi.
Mmmmnn.

Well, I think this'll probably pass.

Ehehheh~ ro~n!
Tooooo baaaaad.

Penalty, penalty!
Time for the tally.
You know, I was just thinking about giving up on it...

Page 35
I'm starving, let's get something to eat.

The one in last should go out and buy it... right?
Obviously.

That's fascist. Let's do it democratically. With rock, paper, and scissors.

Who's in favor of Shuuji going out to buy it?
*Hai Hai [me me]*Hachi

I believe that those kinds of conduct that ignore the opinions of the minority is clearly a misrepresentation of democracy.

Therefore, I suggest we determine it fairly using rock-paper-scissors.

*Pon [shoot of the rock paper scissors shoot!]

Hey kid-democracy, hurry up and go get it.

... But...
This sucks...
Ah-
Yeah!

Page 36
Who's deepest in the hole...?
*pachin

Mmnn, it's Shuuji with minus 40.

Didn't I ask you for smokes too...
Hey, that's mine -slurp- give it back -slurp-

That's gross man, how about talking after you finish eating, jeesh.
Sure -slurp-

Whoa, seriously? I'm in tenpai for suuankou.

A nine-man tanki wait... not one of them have been discarded yet. [tanki = a wait on a pair]

Page 37
Ah-

*Nine-man Nine-man Nine-man
*Bu-

S-sorry bout that, it got stuck in my throat...
Ah- man, that is so gross, you asshole!!

*hahahaha sorry sorry
What a jam, he's got the other three nine-man tiles... guess I won't be seeing one anytime soon.

So that's what Shuuji's waiting on... if I don't change my hand...
It's cause you were eatin' too fast.
*hahahahah...

Dammit, I'm not gettin' jack.
*Bashi-

Okay, I'll start changing my hand.
How about this one?
*Bashi-

I win~!
Wha-

You were waiting on a nine-man?
That's why I was thinking about changing my wait, but I lucked out...

Page 38
Shigemasa, I heard you got a girlfriend.
*Cha-

Ah! Penalty! Penalty! You've got to pay a mangan! [8000 points, if dealer 12000]
Shut up, your face is a penalty. [penalty-jerk]

Ah, you've got lipstick on you...

Oh, my bad, it was just my snot. That's weird, when did that get there.

Ahhahaha, gross~, jeez man, hahaha
What the hell are goin' on about. I'm not gonna forget 'bout that suuankou.

Come on, [kawaii~] Aki-chan, gimme a five~ [I guess Aki-chan is his girlfriend they're talking about]
I'll take a 13 please~
Mmm and I'll take it in the ass~ [again he's pretending to be a girl or gay or w/e]
*Chara Chara

Page 39
It's all souzu tiles. You piled 'em all up, didn't you, punk-ass Shuuji. [souzu, bamboo tiles]

I got dealt a horrible hand. So the dora is...
*Katan

That idiot messed his own dealing up, hahaha.

Whenever Oosawa starts fixing his hat it means he's got somethin'. [there's something to be careful about]

Whenever Konno gets quiet it usually means his hand is pretty bad.

Man my stomach feels like ass, maybe I shouldn't have drank that milk a second ago. [my ass is all blocked up lol]

That the north tile? Pon. [kita, north, calling pairs or w/e off others discarded tiles]

This is what I think of your pon! [Whaaaat, so I dealt you a pon?]
*Buu- [fart]

Calling a pon on the north tile? What could that bastard Oosawa be making?

Page 40
Man, this... stinks...

Hm?

It stinks! This is all you, isn't it, Shuuji!
Shut up, you gotta be jokin'.
*Shu- Shu-
Ughh, this is unbearable~ open the window!
*Ge- Geho- Geho- [cough cough cough]

What the hell did you have for dinner?
Wheeeeehooo

*So-

*Chira-

*Doki-
Ron! Ron!!
*Dododododo

I knew that was gonna happen even though I waited till everyone was distracted.

Page 41
All together that's, toitoi, doradora, guess that's a hane.

Ah~ it stinks, it's gettin' in my eyes, christ.

God dammit, I'm never gonna treat Oosawa to a beer again.

*Pachin

Ba- Ba- Ba- Ba-Ba It's Kozue's Late late late late night hour

To all you lovers of Saturday night...

*Kacha- Kacha

Riichi.

Page 42
Riichi?
Oh, you're still here? I completely forgot you even existed since you haven't done anything.
What? Are you stupid...?

Hmph, say whatever you want.

With the reverse dora... it'll be a mangan, hehehe.

Oosawa, give up! If you don't I'm gonna make you pay me back all the money you owe me.

Shigemasa doesn't have the brains to feint with his discarded tiles so...

Shuuji! Just give up already! I'm not gonna forget about that suuankou!

This should pass...
*Kachin

*Patan

Grr... Sunnova bitch...

Hey, congratulations, you looked pretty cool there.
*pon

Shut up! Do the points! Go count up your own points or somethin'!
*Ba-

The next song's a request from mister...
30... four, five, six thousand...
Here's Baabu Satake with, "A woman's heart!"

Who's on top...?

Shigemasa's on top with plus 24.
*Ni- [Grin]

Next is Oosawa, with plus 17.
I'm losing to this idiot?

Next is Kon-chan with minus 10.
Oosawa you bastard, God dammit.
I'll remember that Haneman.

And whoever else with minus 31.

Come on, next round.

Shuuji's gettin' all fired up...

East... east, where's the chuu, the chuu... [ugh dunno what I should do about these tile names]
Ah- That punk Konno took the chuu...

Page 44
*tsumo

Shit!
*Ban

Your wall [mountain] is all word tiles for some reason, huh?

What are you tryin' to say?
Nothin'.

Oh, pon on that.

Man, I can see everything you're tryin' to do.

Riichi!

I hate quick shooters, they're all speed and no substance.
Hmph.

White... it's gonna be a white...
This one's...

Page 45
Yes! White! A high one shot tsumo! [ippatsu tsumo, tsumo on the next turn after you call riichi]

Oh, sorry, that's a pon.
Again...?

That last tile that got discarded.

What are you talkin' about? You're too late, I already tsumo'd.

I couldn't see it because your hand was in the way.

Just let him call the pon.

Don't be ridiculous!
I already tsumo'd!

I'm layin' it down.
*Patan

Ah-! That's dirty-! [cheap, whatev]

Page 46
Yeah right, what's wrong with winning after I call a tsumo?

It's cheap cause you were losing, don't eve pretend!
I already won...

Riichi, one shot tsumo, dora three, it's a hane man.

You can't do that, man, give it back to him.
six thousand... three thousand...?

*Bara
*Ba-
I'm not gonna put up with this kinda mahjong!!

Ahh- That was dirty, you punk!!

Who's dirty, idiot!?

Waaaa~
God dammitttttt

Page 47
Hey, keep it down, it's the middle of the night.

It's his fault. Not mine.
Ah-
I wasn't even trying' to make a fuss about it.

Don't _push_ me.
Ah-

I didn't push you! [Who pushed you!?]
Ah
Ah-

Aah- that's the hat my girlfriend...

What're you "Aah~"in' about... the ugly bitch.

Shut up~!
*Pe-
Ah-

Aah~ the leather jacket I worked 3 months to buy...

Ugly bitch
Piece o' trash jacket [cheap]

Page 48
Ugly bitch
Piece o' trash jacket [cheap]
You only spent like a thousand and 50 yen on that, jeez.
Stop it, you idiots, the book case is gonna fall over.

*Don Don
Open up!
What do you think you're doing! Open up!

Ah-

Now we're not gonna be able to play [mahjong] here [in this apartment] either.
How do you like that!?
Yo-yo~ Yookoooooo
*Gue- Gue-

You must be out of your minds! What time do you think it is in the middle of night!?
I-I-I'm really sorry.

Ugly bitch
Piece o' trash jacket [cheap]

Page 49
Hahaha, for real?

I didn't think the reverse dora was really gonna appear there...

Aaaah I'm tired.
*Yawn

I'm hungry.

Let's get somethin' to eat...
How about the ramen place at the station.

No way~!
Though I ended up winnin'.
I'm tellin' you, I was on a tanki wait for a suuankou.

But man, it really stank~
Shut up about that already.
Where are we gonna play next week?

'Round About Midnight: End.
