Cyborg Grampa-G 25

The love between young and old can be a curious...and disturbing factor. But while G-chan's affections for an idol have already been studied, now it's time to see Q's attempts at persuance...and the slightly disturbed means by which she goes at it!

Chapter 25: Pure-Heart Grandma Q

149.
This is heavenly
Order me around—I’ll blow through it
In the eyes of others, I won’t stop being a granny…

150.
Videbe: The best this week is Genjirou Hikaru-kun!
G: This is boring, change the channel!
Ai: ?
Videbe: Ye~s.
Q: Do~~n’t change it from Idol Best Ten!
Q: I won’t let my Hikaru disappear--!!
Kei: Granny is a Genjirou HIkaru fan!?
G: What~~grandma! Where is that stupid brat nice!

151.
Q: Why would gramps be stingy about my likes--! Hm--ph, stinky pee. He’s much better than Maiko Aikawa--!!
G: Don’t you speak bad of Maiko-chan--!!
Q: Hmph! I’m free from being your partner—tomorrow in Yokohama, Genjiro Hikaru is having a concert—
Q: Yes. As is, I’m a tragic heroine who burns of an unrewarding love…When I meet him in person, my burning chest will open up—
Q: Even Hikaru will surely be impressed by my pure love confession—
G: Uuh…you can stop preaching your randomness already, grandma…
Ai: Are you serious, granny--!!
Kei: Further—your face can’t even enter the room—
Q: What—what’s wrong with my face…
Kid 1: Wa—it’s real. The spirit of the Kaizou house--!
Kid 2: Huh—it’s as they said!
Q: What’s wrong, you f**king brats---!!
Kids: Uwa~~she’s going to eat us~~

152.
Q: UUH…YOU……YOU DON’T KNOW OF MY TRUE FORM~~~I’LL SHOW YOU NOW~~~!!
Gantetsu: ……
Q: YOU’RE LATE~~~
Gantetsu: Shi!?
Q: It’s me, it’s me! What’s so surprising, Gantetsu? I’ve gotten the exact too—ls!
Q: Grandpa hasn’t found thi—s! This is a basement research lab that I’ve created in secret for this day—

153.
Q: Now I’ll use modification surgery to restore my youth--!! (Young Q): Aah…I’m young again…So lovely! From today, I know nothing of impurity, I’m a pure maiden!
Q: And with the charm of my maiden version, even Hikaru-sama is already mine~~
Q: Fine, Gantetsu! When we’ve gathered the lightning energy, pull the lever.
Q: From what I’ve heard, I became this form when you pressed too many buttons during modification—huh--!! I won’t take that failure anymore!! Right?
Q: Now, Gantetsu!
Q: GYAAA—

154.
Gantetsu: Shi—
Gantetsu: Shi~~!?
Gantetsu: SHI!?
Q: N…U…N…

155.
Q: I…I’VE…
Gantetsu: Shi!?
Narrator: “Though I destroyed the mechanism, the modification surgery was a success!”, so thought Gantetsu.
Q: Gantetsu, look…
Q: Aah…I…I’ve finally got my youth back~~~I’m a pure-hearted maiden version who doesn’t know impurity~~
Gantetsu: Shi!?
Q: With this, Hikaru-sama will be mine—
Narrator: “OH NO!”, so thought Gantetsu.
Voice: Grandma, breakfast!
G: I’ll eat it if you don’t come down quickly—

156.
Q: Ehe.
Q: I’m hungry too.
Everyone: ………
G: You’re hungry. Then that means……YOU’RE GRANDMA!?
Yuu: Kya---!?
Eiichi: It…can’t be!? Grandma!?
Q: I performed modification surgery with Gantetsu yesterday. This is my young, pure-hearted maiden version.
Ai: Th…that girl is our granny!?
Z & Kei: Cu…cute………

157.
Q: After I recite the Hannya Shingyou, I’ll be going to Hikaru-sama’s concert—
Q: (recites sutra)…
G: Hyo—even with her youth, it’s just her appearance—stop that, grandma!!
G: Hyo!?
Q: What?
G: For a moment, I saw the old grandma…
Q: I’m going to the concert to steal Hikaru-sama’s heart—
Kei: Wha—
Q: PLEASE WAIT FOR ME, HIKARU-SAMA—!!

158.
G: Muu~~what’s going on? I sensed she returned to grandma for a moment when she was reading her sutra…
G: Hyo!? What are you hiding, Gantetsu?
Gantetsu: Shi.
G: What, you broke this during her modification!!
G: So then, grandma hasn’t completed her youth restoration modification surgery yet…
Kei: Oh no. I’ve heard that Genjirou Hikaru is quite a lady charmer! He’s infamously famous for his popularity in the entertainment world.
G: Damn…grandma’s in danger!
Girls: Hikaru—Hikaru~~Kya—Hikaru—

159.
Genjirou: Hahaha, I’m so weak. I’m a bit tired from my concert…
Genjirou: But thanks to the cheers within your hearts, I could finish my concert safely. Fufu, I give my thanks.
Girls: Kyaa!?
Q: Hikaru-sama~~!! I’ve want to say that I’ve adored you for a long time!
Q: Aah, Hikaru-sama--!?
Q: Hi…Hikaru-sama, are you OK…?
Girls: Well!! Wh…who is she…she’s…so lovely…is she a star!?

160.
Genjirou: OOH, SO CUTE…SHE’LL BE MY TARGET TODAY!
Genjirou: Hmm, I’m fine…And you are…
Q: I…I am……
Q: Ah—Hikaru-sama is withering for me~~~it’s like a dream~~
Q: I’m so—happy—
Girls: Ah—she’s sly--ly monopolizing HIkaru-sama--! (Kya—Wha—Kya—Wha—sl—y)
Girls: NO—IYA—KYA—KYA—
Narrator: The high-pitch of the screaming voices of the girls ignited the flame of the heavy-metal soul of the still-incomplete granny!
Q: Aah!!
Q: No, everyone’s going to have to wait here…UKYA—

161.
Girls: Kya—there’s a monster behind Hikaru-sama!! Eww—a spirit—
Genjirou: Hahaha, what’s with the stupid stuff, girls…
Q: Uh, no—I’ve returned to normal—
Q: Trans~~
Q: form.
Genjirou: Oh well, those small-fry will leave us alone…
Genjirou: So shall we take a drive in my BMW?
Q: Are…we going…
Guitarist: How pitiful, even that girl’s finally moved to tears by Hikaru—
Bandmate: His womanizing really gets around.
Genjirou: Fufu, this is my BMW.
Guitarist: Did…you see…he’s suddenly going out with a granny!
Bandmate: I only saw a spirit.
Genjirou: Now, come in.

162.
Genjirou: How about going to my favorite hotel bar?
Q: Do they have Umekobu tea there~~?
Genjirou: ……you can’t have alcohol…
Genjirou: Hmph, this isn’t suspicious but…it does rub on me……its favorable if she doesn’t like alcohol…she’ll drink it once and later we’ll have some fun……
Q: Oh no~~I’ll turn back to my original form regardless when I hear the high-pitch that’s in heavy metal~~~That Gantetsu failed~~~
Q: While we’re at it, you don’t know my name yet. I’m Kiyu Kaizou~~call me Q-chan.
Q: Hoo, my chronic rheumatism!
Genjirou: Eh?
Q: Uuh, my chronic hernia!!
Genjirou: What’s wrong?

163.
G: Fly forth, Gantetsu!! Grandma’s in danger!
Genjirou: You’ve been caught rather easily, stupid girl…
Genjirou: But from what I’ve seen, you’re a nice girl!
Genjirou: Let’s have some fun!!
G: HERE COMES CYBORG G-CHAN!!
Genjirou: !?

164.
Genjirou: You…you’re that gramps from the Maiko Aikawa audition!?
G: You!! What are you doing to my grandma--!!
Genjirou: GYA—
Q: Wh…what~~
G: Hyo!?
Genjirou: WA!
Q: No~~~~o, my plump bosom was revealed~~~!
G: Grandma, his shriek has already returned you to normal…
Genjirou: GYOHE---!?
Genjirou: I’ve been staying with this f**king granny until now~~~!?
Q: Hi…Hikaru-sama…Hikaru-sama would say that…
Caption: (serious)

165.
G: You—how dare you say that! Grandma is a woman!! She purely was one of your fans and she loved you!!
G: For playing with grandma’s feelings, you’re trash of a man~~~!!
Q: GR…GRANDPA……
G: A person like you shall take my judgement! Shall we do it, grandma!
Q: Uuh~~I’ll do it~~! This guy doesn’t deserve love or s**t~~~!!
G & Q: DEADLY!

166.
G & Q: HOT BOO-BOO, HEAVY METAL VERSION!! BU BU BU—HOT BOO BOO—I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FART IN THE SKY—THAT IS THE KEY TO MAKING FRIENDS WITH OTHERS~~~
G & Q: HE~~Y!!
(TN: The kanji in “Hey”, or “Hei” reads “majestic fart”)
Genjirou: Gyaa~~
Genjirou: Yo…you…have you not merely thought of what you’ve done…I’m currently the #1 popular idol~~
G: If you don’t want the world to know of this picture, then promise to never do this ever again.
Q: JUDGEMENT!!
Genjirou: Uh—no mo—re.

167.
Q: Really, I can’t cry anymore! Sniff…
Q: Well~~I didn’t think that Hikaru-sama would be that type, hu~~h.
Voice: Did you forget? The greatest man is the closest to you!
Q: Grandpa…
G: Hey…I can only be old enough to be close to for 30 seconds!
Q: Oh well~~this reminds me of the past…………

TN: For starters, I really liked the reference made back to the "Maiko" incident, even if somehow it seemed like it was forgotten here or there. Now that this was out of a way, the chapter wasn't too bad but it was disturbing. Disturbing in one way was just seeing Q running amuck trying to go after an idol. Disturbing in another in that the stupid Genjirou Hikaru had to come back to be said target...I didn't like him in the Maiko chapter and he's even worse here. And don't get me started on getting the lust of possibly your own son! Though one thing I do like about this chapter: I liked that it finally seemed to "remember" that Q was built in a younger model and only got screwed up the first time thanks to Gantetsu! Of course Gantetsu screwed it up again...leading to all those strange bursts here or there, but that's what happens when your partner in your mad science is a dog! Well, with that said, the volume is nearly over...but we still got one more chapter left to go...and it's an oldie but goodie: the second G-chan pilot! After that, though...I am debating whether to just start the final G-chan volume or go back to Ai Kora...I'll give you my decision when it's made.
