People on the street seem to be silent.. The usual winter scenery.. But, there's something missing in this year's winter.." Yuhki is looking up to the winter sky, alone on her day off. "Oh yeah, it hasn't snowed yet, this year.. (in Tokyo region, there's only one or two snow every winter) It's not that I particularly I like snow.. But if I don't see it at all, I feel like being cheated....." Three bozoes walk up to her.. "Stood on lady !" "We're going to dancing, right now.." "Would you like to come to us?" "It's a cool place..." Yuhki is too stunned to immediately fight back.. "No.. well er..(thinking "What are these guys?")" The trio continue talking..."Oh come on, you don't have to stand like that.." "Really, we won't do anything.." (Notice the wolf tails sticking out from their suits?) "Come on, forget the kind of guy to keep you waiting!" When one of three tries to take Yuhki's hand, a bouquet of flower pops in front of Yuhki.. There's a guy in long school uniform (traditional clothes for punks). The guy: Sorry. I overslept a bit.. Yuhki: ? The guy winks. Yuhki: ("!!") So, what about oversleeping!! I've been waiting for one hour!! The guy: So, I bought you a flower... Yuhki: I'm not going to talking to you! (literal translation "I don't know!" but this was the closest translation that made sense) The guy: So I said sorry! Yuhki: To begin with, because you're late, those people.. The bozo trio get pale, and when the guy turns around to see them, they dash away. The guy: Oh, pretty wimpy guys.. Yuhki: Tha..Thank you very much!! The guy: It's alright. But you're good actress.. Be careful. Your type are always target for those kind of guys. Yuhki: Y..yes!! She calms down and notices who she's talking to. "Huh? This guy is high school student. OH NO! I was not only rescued by a younger boy, I got lectured.... I'd rather be in self hatred..." The guy: There.. (hands the flower to Yuhki) Yuhki: Huh? The guy: Keep this. Yuhki: What? but The guy: Don't worry. It's just a prop for a play that ended. Yuhki: The..then I'll pay. The guy: Come on (He brings Yuhki closer, and sees her eye to eye) That's a flower that I bought my will, and I gave it to you by my will. So, all you have to do is to keep it. Yuhki: O..ok.... She starts mumbling. "He quibbled me again.. a high school student..a high school student.a high school student..." The guy: Hm.. Are you free right now? Yuhki: Huh? The guy: Then, help me kill some time, and we're even. So, the two go to bowling alley. The guy scores strike. Yuhki tries to write down the score, and stops. The guy: What's wrong? Don't you know how to calculate score? Yuhki: No, it's not that. I still don't know your name (n.t) which means I can't write your name down on the score card..They start laughing.. "hahahaha!! That's true!! I'm Hyoue Kamiyashiro. Call me Hyou." "I'm Yuhki Utsumi." Hyou constantly scores either strike, or spare, while on Yuhki's score card, "G" and "-" (gutter, and foul) are parading. She throws another ball, which crawls away from Yuhki slow enough for a fly to rest on the ball.. Yuhki is puzzled why her ball fell into gutter again. "Huh???" Hyou is already asleep waiting Yuhki's turn to finish. "Do you actually have motor nerves?" "....." As they keep on playing, Yuhki notices something. Yuhki: ? Hyou, weren't you throwing with your right arm till awhile ago? Hyou: Huh? yeah.. I can't overuse my right arm. Especially today. Yuhki: I see. (n.t) You sound like a manga artist.. After some more plays, Yuhki picks up the score card. Yuhki: You paid for the flower, I'll pay this.. Hyou: Don't worry. Yuhki: Huh? Hyou: Why don't we act like students, and split the bill? Yuhki: Stu... Cashier: Are you students? Can I see you student ID? Yuhki tries to cut in from behind Hyou "Excuse me, but I'm... " The sounds of pins falling muffles her line. Hyou is not exactly impressed with the cashier's attitude. Hyou: Hey.. Cashier: Yes? Hyou: (pointing at the cashier's eyes) These things on you, are these glass balls? Meanwhile Yuhki is grumbling behind Hyou.. "Sure, I dressed like a kid, but.." Cashier: N..no... Hyou: Where on Earth would a full-fledged member of society walk around in a student uniform?! Calculate the bill!! Cashier: YES!! Awhile later, Yuhki is in cafe with Hyou. She's not too impressed with herself.. "I ended up paying in student rate, after all. even worse, split pay with real high school student!! If I don't do something about this indecisiveness, it's going to bring my downfall, for sure.." Hyou: Yuhki.. Yuhki: Huh? What? Hyou: Are you feeling alright? You've been quiet.. Yuhki: I'm falling into self hatred, a bit.. Hyou: Self hatred? Don't worry that much. It's really hard to get a score around 40, even if you try hard. Yuhki gives up.. "No good.." Hyou: Is Seisho Park around here? Yuhki: Yeah. about five minute walk.. Hyou: I see. Yuhki: Waiting for somebody? Hyou: Sort of.. Yuhki: With a girl? Hyou: You gotta be kidding. I don't have a time to fool around with girls. Yuhki: Oh, then what was I? Hyou: I didn't have anything to do, today.. Yuhki's head is smoking.. "He's not cute at all!!" Hyou takes out a cigarette, but Yuhki snaps it. Yuhki: Smoking of minors are prohibited by law. Hyou: Oh, come on.. Why would anyone bother with such a law nowadays. He takes out another, and Yuhki snatches it again. "NO!!" "WILL YOU..." "WHAT?" They face each other for a moment. Hyou: Huh? Yuhki: What? Hyou: There.. see? He points behind Yuhki and she turns around. Then she hears a sound of a lighter. When she turns back to face Hyou, a smoke covers her. Hyou managed to light a cigarette. Yuhki is furious, and grabs a lit cigarette, to astonishment of Hyou. "You..you idiot! What're you doing?!" He tries to see Yuhki's hand. "Don't touch me!" "But your hand.." "I don't care about hand!" "Show me!!" "NO!!" She finally gives in, and Hyou's putting a bandage on her. "Doing that kind of things don't make you cool at all..." "OK.. I'm sorry.." Yuhki is somewhat impressed with Hyou's attitude.. She thinks... "Hmmm I thought he would fight back a bit more, but he's pretty decent..." "All done." Yuhki notices that Hyou's been touching her till now, and blushes. "Tha..thanks.." They leave the cafe and now are walking on sidewalk somewhere in town of Seisho. Hyou: But you're weird. Why do you have to picky about just that kind of thing.. Yuhki: "Just"? She grabs Hyou. Yuhki: J-u-s-t? Hyou: OK OK!! Damn.. why do you get so upset easily.. Yuhki: You don't know anything. Hyou: ? Yuhki remembers all those tragedies she's seen working as traffic officer. "Just that much speed. Just this much alcohol.. So many people lost their lives because of that one word "just"..... " Hyou is staring at her. Yuhki: What is it? Hyou: Your face look like adult once in awhile. Just for a moment, I thought I was walking with older sister.. Yuhki: Sure.. Hyou: Sure... With our age, women are supposed have higher psychological age.. yeah.. Yuhki: It's not just that, you know.. Hyou: Which high school do you go to? Yuhki: High..!!! Hyou: Oh, no.. could it be that you're still jr.high.. Yuhki: NO!!! Yuhki: I may not look like it, but I'm Seisho.. Hyou: Oh, Seisho High Yuhki: N.. Hyou spots a clock, which conveniently appeared. Hyou: Oh, no it's time that I promise.. Yuhki: ....... Hyou: Straight down this road? Yuhki: At the end of the street left on the second block. She's grumbling "Sure I have kiddish body.. baby-faced, and small chest.. Sense of dressing is bad too.." Hyou puts his hands on Yuhki's shoulder. Hyou: Sorry for causing so much trouble.. Yuhki: Why do you have to be polite all of a sudden? Hyou: Yeah.. I mean.. Do you think we can meet again? Yuhki: That really depends.. Hyou: Oh well, maybe if our path cross again. Yuhki: That's it. What about the appointment? If you don't hurry, it's gonna be dark pretty soon. Hyou: It's not that important. It's just a goromaki. Yuhki's looking at Hyou's back as he walks away. "He ended up mistaking me for a high school student till the end. Oh, well. I felt like seventeen again.." She starts walking, then the word Hyou said hits her head.. "... Goromaki?...." (actually it's a yakuza term for "fight"..) "He's gotta be joking!! That stupid!!" Meanwhile at Seisho Park (which did also appear in Mizutani's "Jinrui Nekoka") punks (they, too appeared in "Jinrui Nekoka") from Seisho High are waiting for Hyou. Punk 1: You're late. Higashi (east) High's (gang leader). Punk 2: We thought you chickened out. Hyou: Only you guys? Punk 1: ? What does that mean? Hyou: I heard that Mori something is the head of this area. Punk 1: Well.. er.. He retired because of studying for exam or something.. So the head right now is.. Hyou: Bye. Punk 1: ST.. stop!! Punk 2: Got scared?! Hyou: You're joking, right? All I wanna deal with is "Rambo of the west" ("Sei-" of ", as Seisho is a prefix meaning "west") as "Comando of the east" Punk 1: You saying that we aren't enough? Hyou: I'm not interested in minor ones. Punk 1: You bastard... When Yuhki arrives at Seisho Park, there's a huge noise, and one of Seisho High's punk slides away beside her. Others punks are littered all over the park. The present leader of the gang only remains. He takes out a knife. Hyou is showing him a middle finger. "See? Told you.." Somebody cuts in. "Hyou!!" It's Yuhki. She's carrying a bamboo sword that one of the punk had. Hyou: Yuhki! What're you doing here? Yuhki: The hell am I doing here.. Damn you kid..The punk tries to cut in "Who the hell are you?" Yuhki ignores him. Yuhki: If you keep on like this, you gonna be one of these gangs!! Hyou: (in his head) I thought I already was..The punk is getting mad. "Answer my question!!" Yuhki is still talking to Hyou. "Don't face other direction while somebody is talking to you!!" Finally the punk tries to take direct measure, but Yuhki is in rather bad mood. So, she takes one swing at the punk. "SHUT UP!!" And she puts him out of his misery. Now, she faces Hyou again. "I guess just talking wouldn't convince you..." She tightens her grip, and points the bamboo sword to Hyou, smiling. "I'll give you a little lesson." "SMACK!!!" Next morning, Hyou's heading to school, with bruises all over him. "Ouch.. damn it Yuhki. She took full swings.. No, the major problem is that I couldn't duck any of her swing.. Who the hell is she?" A Mini pato crawls up behind him. A familiar voice comes from the loud speaker of the mini pato. "HEY!!!! You in a long uniform!! It's already time for class!! Full speed run to the school!!" Hyou recognizes the speaker... It's Yuhki...... "!!" She salutes him, winking.. Intermission Essay "I'm clean-loving, in nature. Even if I'm working at a room that look like a trash can, or even if I don't take a bath for a week, I believe that I'm fundamentally clean-loving....( Notice the machine gun leaned against the artist's desk? His workshop is otherwise known as an armory.) So, a bath after finishing work is really relaxing moment. But.. this..( Some of the retros that he lost are floating in the tub. #61 that was stuck on the sole of foot, #254 that was stuck on the back, and others..) this's really pathetic.." Shimatsusho 5 "Two Captains of Seisho Police Station" Yuhki: I've been patient with you in most cases, but I can't stand anymore.. Hiziri: Hm, What if you can't? They face each other, holding weapons. (broom, and kitchenwares..) Their fight escalate so much, that the squad car arrive at the scene. Next morning, the captain of traffic section's head is snapping again. "YOU IDIOTS!!!!" In the inspector section's room, downstairs, the inspectors are chatting. inspector 1: Wow, the captain of the traffic section,s head is snapping more than usual.. inspector 2: He must've snapped, at least 10. inspector 3: He must be.. inspector 1: Those wild women again, again? What's this time? inspector 3: They fought in their apartment, and squad car went there. Sabasu: (captain of inspector section) If they're young, it's better that way. inspector 1: Oh, morning, captain.. Sabasu: Far much better than some idiot reading comics from the morning.. (hits the inspector 3's head) That Takamidou girl, I heard she's pretty good at guns.. inspector 1: Seems to be. I heard that she was always the top in the academy. Sabasu: Oh.. Inspector 1: Come on. Your bad habit again. Sabasu: I haven't said anything, yet. inspector 1: I can guess with your face. You wanna pull her in, right? Sabasu: I can't leave anybody with potential alone, so. inspector 1: It would really help if you don't do that.. You quarreled with that snap captain before, about that, didn't you? Meanwhile, in the traffic section, Ishito drops by after a morning patrol.. Ishito: Phew.. It's still cold. Morning. ? Everybody in the office are quietly doing their paper works. Ishito: Wha..what's this? this tense air. Officer: (pulling his jacket) Ishito-san, Ishito-san.. Ishito: What's this all about? The police woman points to Hiziri and Yuhki. They're in very bad mood, after the last night's fight.. Ishito: Oh my.. (o.b) They've done it this time. Officer: So, Ishito-san, please refrain yourself from saying anything that might agitate them. Ishito: Why me? Officer: Do you recall that once because you teased them, this office almost fell apart? (o.b) by starting 2nd round here. Ishito: . And what's the reason for this fight? Officer: I don't know.. Ishito: You don't know. Officer: Captain seems to know the reason.. Stunned Captain is sitting, in the office. Ishito: What's that? Officer: It must've been some radical reason.. He's been like that ever since he heard their story.. Do you want hear it from them? Ishito: Me? No thanks. I have to go to patrol again, in the afternoon. Officer: Bleaaah! After the work is over, Hiziri comes out of changing room. Somebody slaps her bun. "What you doing, you bast." Sabasu is behind her. Sabasu: Good reaction.. Hiziri: Will you cut out those kind of bad jokes, captain of inspector section.. Sabasu: Work is over already for today? Sorry I'm a bit old, but can you spend a while with me? Hiziri: Meal included? Sabasu: Anywhere you like. Hiziri purrs on him.. "Oh great, there's no way Yuhki's gonna cook tonight." Captain of the traffic section is overlooking at what's happening, worriedly. Meanwhile, Yuhki is facing the rage of the landlady. "How many times have you done this?! Last night's case, even a squad car came. If this kind of thing happen again, I'll ask you to leave!!" "I'm very sorry for the trouble." (There's a letter "rage" on the sweater of the landlady.) She leaves, and Yuhki sighs. "Damn it, Hiziri! She always disappear in this kind of time!" She enters the apartment.. The room is a mess, like after a storm. "Well, I guess anybody would get mad, if it's like this.. Oh, well, better do something about this." Back in station, Hiziri is in shooting range. By the accuracy of her shooting, an inspector is loosing his confidence.. Sabasu is impressed with her shooting. "If she's using a snapnose for the first time and that accurate.. she has a potential.." Hiziri: Captaaaaiiin!! Dinner!! Sabasu: Not yet. This time 6 shots by left hand in 10 seconds. Hiziri: DINEEERRR!! Sabasu: Shoot quickly. Hiziri's grumbling. "What's this all about.. (o.b) could this be new time of work place abuse?" Then, she starts shooting again. Back in the apartment, Yuhki just finished cleaning up the room. "Well, that's about it.. Better make dinner! Hiziri should be hungry.." Then, her anger comes back again. "!! NO! I always give her an inch, so she always expects a yard!! She has to learn a lesson!! There's no way she wouldn't die without meal for a day, or two. Yeah." She looks into fridge for a while. "Oh well, I guess I can't help it. Even if I cook just for one, food is gonna be left in odd amount.. Meat's gonna go bad, if I don't hurry. Sure, and if we shake hands again, I'll have to cook after all. Yeah. I just overcooking by myself." Meanwhile, Hiziri's finally getting a dinner in some 1st class restaurant. Hiziri: Captain.. Sabasu: ? Hiziri: Isn't this kind of place expensive? Sabasu: Don't worry.. Hiziri: Don't leave me behind, and run away.. Sabasu: Will you.. Back in the apartment, Yuhki prepared dinner for Hiziri, too, and waiting for her to come home, patiently.. In the restaurant, Hiziri just gauged herself. Hiziri: Ate enough. Sabasu: Had enough? Hiziri: Yes, thank you for the meal. And are you really sure? (o.b) if you're running away, signal me. Sabasu: Still talking about.. Don't worry. Salary for a captain is pretty small, but being single, I can afford this kind of luxury. Hiziri: Single? Sabasu: Didn't have any chance. Hiziri: I'm not fit for being a wife. (o.b) I'm more fit to be a husband. Sabasu: I know. Hiziri: ("That kind of straight denial is annoying, too.") Sabasu: But, you're fit to be an inspector. Hiziri: Huh? Sabasu: Takamidou, why don't you try to be an inspector? Hiziri: Excuse me? Sabasu: You've got enough potential. Toughness to ignore the anger of superior. Recklessness to go against any tough opponent. Carefulness to not to trust even if I say I'll pay.. Hiziri: (to herself) the last one is sarcasm, for sure.. Sabasu: It might take a year, or two for re-training, but if it's you, you can manage it easily. Lady inspector is rare, but it doesn't mean there's no previous example. If you get enough experience, SP isn't a dream. If you want, I'll take care of paper works.. What do you think? Hiziri: That's good story. I really think it is. Later that evening, Sabasu takes Hiziri to her apartment. Hiziri: Thanks for the meal. Sabasu: No trouble. Come if you want to eat anything good, tell me. I'm not like your scroogy captain. Hiziri: Sure. Good night. Sabasu: Yeah. He gets into his Bentz. "Sorry if I'm scroogy." Somehow Captain sneaked into the car. "When did you germinate?" "Stakeout isn't your monopoly. Get going. It's gonna get complicated, if Takamidou notices.." The Bentz leaves. Hiziri is in front of the room of door. "Kind of hard to get in.. She must still angry.. Ha..HA! I'm paying half of the rent, I shouldn't be this awkward." She enters the room, and notices the dishes on the table. Yuhki fell asleep waiting for her roommate. "WHAT?! She's been waiting for me? Even with dinner. So stupid. She could've eaten by herself, and go to sleep." She's in tears. "You're such a softhearted.." Meanwhile on the Bentz, Captain: Damn.. once I take it easy, and this happens! Sabasu: I'm taking care of "luggage bomb" of traffic section. It's not that bad deal, isn't it? Captain: Unfortunately, my luggage bomb has an adjective "with hopeful future". Sabasu: So, for that matter, we agree, even if we don't on other matters. Captain: I'm not captain for nothing. I have eyes to evaluate. And how did it go? Sabasu: No good. Captain: ?! And you gave up and took her home? It doesn't sound like line of Sabasu "the snapping turtle" (reptile known for firm grip on its jaw) Sabasu: I think so, too. But Hiziri gave the answer to Sabasu, saluting. "I, Hiziri Takamidou constable of Seisho Police, would like to be a traffic officer for the rest of my life." Sabasu: Ha! She said the exactly the same line word to word that somebody! The worst part is that the man I hate the most said that line!! But I haven't given up yet. This's just a 1st round. Captain: Sabasu, do you know the reason for their big fight last night? Sabasu: ? Captain: Fighting for the right of channel.. Sabasu: I can't understand them. In the apartment, Hiziri wakes up Yuhki. Hiziri: Yuhki! Yuhki!! Yuhki: Huh? Hiziri: I re-heated dinner. Let's eat. Yuhki: (looking at a clock) hmmmmmm? !! It's already past 11 'o clock!! Hiziri: There you go, miso soup. Yuhki: Where were you, till this time of the night!! Hiziri: There, rice. Yuhki is still in bad mood, while Hiziri is already in better mood. Yuhki: Hey. Hiziri: ? Yuhki: I'm still mad, you know. Hiziri: How can you sustain your anger this long. All frown does you is to make you ugly. Yuhki: I think you aren't normal, recovering just in a day! Hiziri: I already got rid of mine outside. Yuhki: Could it be that you've been beating up on innocent bike gang boys, again? ("again", this means she's already done it once.) Hiziri: This time, it's healthier.. (o.b)does shooting gun called healthy? If you really insist, I'll say it.. Yuhki: What? Hiziri stands up and whispers into Yuhki's ear "I'm sorry." They stare at each other for a moment "Come on, let's eat." "Yeah." There's a opened box of anti-acid powder on a kitchen table. Shimatsusho 6 "Yuhki's Partner is High School Student in Long Uniform" Hiziri's new mini pato (Be-1) comes back to the station in one piece, which is rare thing. Back in the office, the officer sitting next to Yuhki has a message for Yuhki. Officer: Oh, Utsumi-san. Yuhki: Yes? Officer: THIS.. She takes out an envelope. Yuhki is reacting rather traumatic. Yuhki: Again? Officer: It's already a news throughout the station. The prince of 3:50. Hiziri: What's it all about? Officer: (giggle) About Yuhki-chan's man. Hiziri: Man? "Since a week ago." There was a boy in long school uniform, walking up to the receptionist. "May I help you?" He puts an envelope addressed to Yuhki, to the receptionist's desk. "Oh, shoot, it's not for me.." The officer finishes the story "And this's been happening everyday." Hiziri: Oh.. Officer: "Oh.." Don't you two live together? Hiziri: I've been too busy handling shimatsusho, so.. (o.b) I finally put the Mini Couper beyond any hope of recovery. The other police women start to gather, while Yuhki is lying flat on her desk, trying to ignore the others' conversation. "What kind of man is he?" "He's really cute. He's blushing when he's handing over the letter." "I saw that kid, too!" "He's reagent, and long uniform." "Long uniform?!" "You mean the one that has already became already extinct even in Nagoya." "But he's pretty cute.." While they chit chat, somebody approaches to them. Captain: Ahen Officers: !! Captain: I thought this is the traffic section of Seisho Police.. Am I wrong? Hiziri: Yes, you're right. Captain: I see. Then, I didn't make any mistake. Well, for a moment, I thought I wondered into a girl's high school. Hahahahahaha Others starting laugh, too, to hide the embarrassment. Captain: IF YOU KNOW IT, START WORKING QUICKLY!!! The officers start running, panicking. Hiziri is rather calm, since she's used to being shouted on.. Captain turns around, and "WAKE UP!!" Yuhki is asleep.. After she comes out of duty, Yuhki is in changing room, grumbling. "Damn it. It's because somebody else's business. Better clarify to Hyou, too.." Hiziri sneaks up on her, and flicks Yuhki's bra's strap.. "It's just a joke, you know.." Yuhki gave a shoulder bat to Hiziri. Hiziri: But, that was unfriendly.. Yuhki: About what? Hiziri: Younger boy, huh? You're doing pretty well, aren't you? Without saying anything, Yuhki gives the envelope to Hiziri. Hiziri: ..Are you sure? (o.b)You haven't opened, yet. Yuhki: It's gonna be the same, so. Hiziri opens up the envelope, opens up the letter, and stares at it.. "Dear, Yuhki Utsumi. I'd like settle the score. Please phone. Hyou" Hiziri: Such a unique love letter.. It sounds like a challenge for a duel. Yuhki: It's not like, it is.. "Hyou-kun loves fighting. Any fight that's sold to him, he'll happily buy.. He's the number one candidate for the gang leader of Seisho area for 1987. His fighting record 32 wins out of 33 fights.. one loss (against Yuhki) ONE LOSS.. Yes, that one loss has been hurting his pride as the emperor of fighting." Now, he finished another fight, wiping out three punks with weapons.. A girl approaches him. Girl: Excuse me. Hyou: Huh? Girl: Thank you very much.. I.. Hyou: ? Who're you? Girl: ... You've just beaten up the punks who were hanging around me!! Hyou: Don't worry. I just wanted to fight real badly, and you happened to be here.. Girl: May I ask what's your name is? Hyou: No, you may not. He leaves and the girl is left behind, with littered bodies of punks. Once in school, Hyou-kun is doing a pretty normal high school student. There's no dare-devil in school to pick a fight on him.. Some girls tries to approach him, but. Girl 1: Kamiyashiro-kun, I've got tickets for a movie. Girl 2: Do you wanna go? Hyou: Be quiet. Girl 1: (sigh) No good, after all. Girl 2: Hyou-kun is pretty blunt toward girls. Could it be that he has a girl friend? Girl 1: Can't be. In Seisho Police, Yuhki is facing the boy.. Yuhki: So, you appeared, monster.. Hyou: hey, hey.. Yuhki: What're you here for? Hyou: You didn't contact me.. Yuhki: How can I!! I'm police officer!! So.. Come over here!! Hyou: Why? Yuhki: It doesn't matter!! She takes Hyou away to parking area, while other officers peeking at what's happening. The two are squatting down between squad cars. Yuhki: What're you thinking?! Hyou: What's what? Yuhki: Why do you have to pick a fight against helpless girl like me? Hyou: What kind of helpless girl are you?! Yuhki: There's no point in winning against a girl!! Hyou: (looking elsewhere) But losing against a girl is a shame. Yuhki: I told you to face the person you're speaking with!! She makes him face her. He blushes. "Huh?" Hiziri popps out of nowhere. Hiziri: What're you doing, Yuhki? Yuhki: (jumps up a yard) !! Hi,Hi,Hiziri!!! D..d.d.d.don't surprise me!! Hiziri: You've been doing something that might surprise you? Yuhki: NO, I'M NOT!!! Her partner looks over Yuhki's shoulder, to see the boy in the news. Hiziri: Hmmmmm, this's the kid. The one that Yuhki beaten up.. Hyou: Don't call me kid.(He's rather annoyed) Hiziri: (giggling) Kid saying don't call him a kid. So cute. Hyou: Hi..Hiziri!!! Hyou stands up.. Hiziri: Because you get upset so easily, you're called kid. Yuhki: Don't agitate him!!! She notices that Hyou turned around. Yuhki: Hyou.. Hyou: I'm leaving.. Hiziri: Bye bye, kiddie. Yuhki: HIZIRI!! Hyou: See ya oban (middle aged lady as an insult) The word strikes Hiziri's head. Hiziri: Let go of me, Yuhki!! I'm gonna kill that bastard!!! Yuhki: WILL YOU CUT IT OUT!!! That night, at home, Hiziri is still mad at the boy she picked on, to begin with. She's steaming, grumbling, and mumbling.. Hiziri: That bastard. Yuhki is about to leave for a public bath. (is it near enough to walk, or is she taking a bus? Remember in the first episode? They've got kicked out of the last public bath that they could walk to..) Yuhki: It's your fault, isn't it? Anybody would get mad if they're treated that way. Hiziri: Shut up!! Yuhki: Hiziri, what about bath? If you don't hurry, it's gonna close. Hiziri: I don't feel like it! Yuhki: I see. then suit yourself! She leaves. Hiziri takes out the envelope originally addressed to Yuhki. "Ta dah!" Meanwhile in another apartment, Hyou is lying in his bed. "Damn it. Why did I blush? No good. every time I see Yuhki's face, I loose combat spirit.. Could it be that I'm under hypnosis?.." (He's slow in understanding, isn't he?) His phone rings.. Next morning, Hiziri is dressing up early in the morning. Yuhki just woke up. Yuhki: What are you doing, Hiziri? Today's off duty..(yawn) Hiziri: I'm gonna settle score. Yuhki: I see. Good luck. (n.t) I'm gonna sleep a bit more. She snuggles her pillow.. ".?" Little later at a river bank, Hyou is walking along. Hiziri's manual baton swings out. Hyou: What about Yuhki? Hiziri: She's low-blood pressured. (cliche for non-morning type people) Wanna play around, till Yuhki comes? I can't take any responsibility if you pass out before she comes, though. Hyou: "Cold water of seniors" ( proverb meaning that insinuats that elderlies should act like their own age. ) Hiziri: Bastard!! I'm same age as Yuhki!! Hyou: Oh? Same age? Doesn't look that way.. Hiziri: ("What? He ducked?") Hyou: But you're police officer alright. You've got a sharp swing Hiziri: I see. I don't have to make any allowance. (switches the manual baton from left hand to right hand.) GET READY!! She starts attacking Hyou, but he keeps on running away. He's even making fun of Hiziri by just avoiding the swings by a paper thick.."WILL YOU GET SERIOUS?!" She makes a full strength swing, but Hyou takes the swing by left arm. He swings an uppercut, and stops an inch before hitting Hiziri. Hyou: Check mate. Somebody picked up Hiziri's manual baton and hits Hyou. Yuhki: What about "check mate?!" BAKA! (inches to Hyou) Is it fun beating up on girls?! HEY!! Hyou: But.. she's the one who started it.. Yuhki: There, again!! Why do you turn your face away when you're talking to somebody?! It's a bad habit!! Hyou: ("but if I see her face.. again.") Yuhki: ! Hyou!! Your arm, it's swelling badly!! Finally even slow Hyou-kun realized the whole matter. *Disease name: Acquired Love Immune Deficiency Syndrome (First Stage) a.k.a. first love Symptom: -Can't see the face of the partner -Can't disobey the actions or words of the partner. -Red face, sweating, and increase in pulse, due to the approach or contact by the partner.

What if there's crack in the bone?!! Hyou: (o.b)Will you stop pulling the injured arm?! He remembers the lady that he was about to beat up on.. She's standing at the spot, still stunned. Hyou: What about her? Yuhki: Leave her alone. It's a good lesson for Hiziri. "As expected, there was a crack on Hyou-kun's left arm bone. One month for complete recovery. He'll restrain himself from fighting. After that, the prince of 3:50 stopped showing up. So, everything is settled, or may be not.." Since then, a police woman started showing up at the front gate of Higashi High. Hiziri: Hyoue Kamiyashiro!!! Come out!!! That was just a warm up!!! Come out for a return match!! Act like a man!!! Yuhki: CUT IT OUT HIZIRI!! HIZIRI!!! Hyou is hiding behind a tree, while his buddy is trying to counsel him. "What on earth did you do?" End of Manga Volume 1 end of file 2
