Quote:
Yet another new series, eh? Well, I promised to translate one as well, so Uno, take it away. I'll be posting all my translations outside my own scanlation group here at my MH page.
This is a side story to Maoh: Juvenile Remix. If you're not familiar with who Semi is, try reading the manga where he first came out. I'm using the page numbering of the volume I acquired here.

Man2: kuh.
kukukuku. \\ kukukukuku...
Yuuki: alright! \\ hahaha!
yeaah!
that damn Tabuchi! forcing me to bear this tatoo!
what order? what sense of unity? he's just a damn dillusioned bastard!
he's dead now, so I'll be on top! we'll easily get rid of Tabuchi's gang!
Man2: y...Yuuki-san! \\ I'm...really glad you've taken me here!
Yuuki: at any rate,
glad that it's easy to call for someone through a merchant...
---12
Yuuki: and a hitman comes.
it's that simple.
Semi: now,
he's dead.
Man2: /........./
Yuuki: tch.
that looks bad, you brat.
hey, you!
ah, you're name is...
---13
Semi: I don't...
have any.
Yuuki: hmph, doesn't matter! also, clean up that mess on his neck! \\ those good-for-nothings might just flinch upon seeing that, you know?
Semi: don't wanna.
Yuuki: huh?
Semi: it's a pain to do that. \\ so I won't.
Yuuki: I'm the one calling the shots here! do it, I tell you!
Semi: ...............
---14
Semi: *don't order me around,*
*bastard.*
YUki: hi...
hii...
hiiiiii!!
---15
Boss: what's the meaning of this? why did you kill him?
answer me!
do you really understand our line of work? \\ first, our agency accepts request for asassination,
then we dispatch our hitmen to work! \\ where in this world would you find someone killing the client!?
you have no name, but you should've answered you're a juvenile! we haven't even got ahold of the client's payment!
Semi: shut the fuck up.
Boss: huh?
---16
Semi: that can't be helped.
I was offended that time.
Boss: and you...
you call yourself a pro?
damn! what a failure! I should've not dispatched you there!
any merchant would not be able to use you!
you'll never again get--
SFX: reach

Semi: the money.
today's work costs 300, 000. \\ I properly killed the target. hand over the money already.
Boss: d...

[beings that live by killing and eating animals.]
[I live by killing people and getting money. isn't that the same?]
[it's my link on the food chain.]
Semi: "the weak will naturally die."
"the world will soon be filled with dead bodies."
I was enthralled by that, \\ during my middle school days.
I don't get it. but that's true, right?
and I thought there isn't any better job than kill people.
---22
Boss: you did...such an half-assed job.
nobody in this business will take you in anymore!!
Semi: what is a pro?
I don't feel like I am.
SFX: reach
Semi: 300, 000.

Iwanishi: according to Jack Crispin,
"manners is the best weapon to live a meaningful life.'
do you think it's about thanking someone,
you damn brat?
Semi: who are you?

Iwanishi: ............
you making a grave for the cat? I see what you did there.
Semi: let go of me!
Iwanishi: you're cold to people, yet you can be kind to cats, huh?
Semi: don't mind that!
you're annoying, plus you're human! \\ cats still have their charms!
Iwanishi: where are you going? \\ you have too much spare time? would you speak with me for a while?
Semi: that sounds bad! disappear! \\ I'll go home now!
Iwanishi: home?
---31
Iwanishi: you,
don't have any place to stay.
looks like you're enjoying yourself staying at the convenience store...
you can't eat if you don't have a job.
Semi: ........................
the hell are you?
Iwanishi: you're a~~~~~~lways alone.
don't have a will of your own. \\ if I were you, I'd die of boredom after 3 days!
Semi: who the hell are you?
Iwanishi: have you heard of what Jack Crispin said?
---32
Iwanishi: "if it looks like you're dying,
you just don't have the will to live."
---33
Iwanishi: hihihi!
oh.
hup!
Semi: you're,
way too annoying!

---37
Guy: a bastard like you wouldn't understand what I'm saying.

I got all your info, so to escape this misunderstanding we got here, you can just kneel down. \\ listen to me, will ya?

Salaryman: eeeh?
Semi: !!?
---48
Iwanishi: yo!
you're a stupid bastard!
Semi: .........
Iwanishi: I was looking for you and I see you out here killing more people! \\ that's why the people here would become eyewitnesses to what you've done.
you bastard!
---49
Iwanishi: I've also seen it,
from over there.
onii-san, you've seen quite a lot.
but it's alright.
better pretend this didn't happen.
---50
Iwanishi: here's 300, 000. \\ keep it shut, okay?
Semi: 300......
!!
hey! that's my money! when did you--?
Iwanishi: hihi!
it's gonna be bad if the police ever heard about this.
also, if you're gonna be interviewed by them, it's gonna take a lot of time, and might just ruin your weekend.
so just keep quiet about this. for that, here's 300, 000.
this way, you can cook up a nice story, no? \\ how about it?
---51
Iwanishi: ah,
also...
your lisence will serve as my reciept.
it's gonna get in our way if there's something wierd that'll go on.
Salaryman: ......!
...!
waaah!
Semi: ............
Iwanishi: hey.
Semi: -----!
---52
Iwanishi: let's go.
as Jack Crispin says, "run while you can."
Semi: hey, old man! \\ is it alright for that man to run away?
he's an eyewitness! it's dangerous if we'd let him live!
whether you'll be killed by the police or those guys, it doesn't matter. \\ plus, killing a bystander is a pain.
Semi: and give back my 300, 000! I'll be in trouble without it! also, who the hell are you? why are you following me? having a middle-aged stalker is gross! too gross! I don't get that Jack guy, and I'm very sure he's annoying in person as well! why do you keep mentioning him?
---53
Semi: ngggh!
Iwanishi: you're too talkative. \\ like a cicada.
I've never seen someone so silent, \\ but you can just talk to me in an easier manner, you know?
Semi: shut up!
Iwanishi: what are you gonna do now?
the other members aren't gonna keep silent about their allies getting killed. they'll "hunt you down".
or is that what you're aiming for?
Semi: /............/
nothing special.
nothing will change.
I'll kill them. \\ all that will come to me.
---54
Iwanishi: are you willing to kill even just for a cent? \\ that's not a pro thing to do.
just like earlier.
Semi: killing people is killing people! being a pro or a bastard has got nothing to do with this! it's the same as going to school!
Iwanishi: I don't get you.
Semi: what?
Iwanishi: huh? where's the match?
Semi: hey!
Iwanishi: you got no job right now, right?
so, I'll let you handle one.
Semi: !?
---55
Iwanishi: I am, \\ Iwanishi.
your target are the remnants of those with the tatoos on their forehead...
all of them.
the reward for the job is...
---56
Iwanishi: I become,
your manager.
wanna work for me and become a pro? \\ huh,
Semi?
