The Native Land of Akazukin Cha ChaAkazukin Cha Cha Volume 6 Story 30 -- Popy's first weird but dangerous encounter. Page 73 [At Momiji's School of Magic.] Principal Momiji: "This is too much! to think that he turned against me and went to join Urara's School!" Some guy: "Calm down, Principal" [Principal Momiji is very mad at Popy's performance.] Principal Momiji: "Don't think I take this lying down! I will never let a traitor live! Get me a serial killer RIGHT NOW!" Page 74 [The dismissal bell rings at Urara's School of Magic.] Cha Cha: "School's over! School's over!" Riya: "We are going to play at Popy's house!" [The trio were unaware that they were being watched by 2 old people in a tall tree. Grandma has curly hair and Grandpa has a long drop of muscus dangling from his nose.] Grandma: "They're coming, that's the one in the center." [Popy sees the 2 of them.] Popy: "Let's quickly go home." Old Lady: "He's our target this time, do you understand Grandpa?" Page 75 [But Grandpa was busy day-dreaming...] Grandma: "......" [The old lady tries to get Grandpa's attention by shouting into his ear!] Grandma: "GRANDPA!!" Grandpa: "Heh?!" Grandma: "THAT"S OUR TARGET POPY!" Grandpa: "What?" [Grandpa's kinda deaf...] Grandma: "......" [A fight pursues between the old couple. The noise attracts the attention of the trio and Popy.] Grandma: "We must do it right! We only get business like this once in a 100 years!" Riya and Shiine: ? Grandpa: "Huh? What did you say?" Grandma: "STUPID OLD FOOL!" Cha Cha and Popy: ? Page 76 //suta suta// [The trio and Popy walked on.] Riya: "They're actually fighting in a tree." Cha Cha: "What weird old people." [The old couple realise they're target had walked off.] Granma: "AH! Oh no we've lost him, quickly let's chase!" //ZA// [They jump off the top of the tall tree...] //don// [Grandpa hits the ground and bounces.] Granpa: "Ah!" //dosu// [Granma hits the ground and bounces.] Grandma: Oof!" {Kinda stupid but I think they forgot that hitting the ground would hurt.} [There was complete slience while the old couple lay on the ground for the moment.] [At Popy's tent.] Page 77 Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: OH MY GOODNESS!! HE LIVES IN A TENT?! [Popy had read their thoughts.] Popy: "What's so bad about living in a tent?" //doki doki doki// [Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine started blushing.] Cha Cha: "Can we go in and have a look?" [They enter, Popy continues reading their thoughts to find out what they're up to.] Riya: I've found it. Shiine: It must be it. Popy [outside] : ?! [He enters the tent to find out.] Cha Cha: "That's it!" Shiine: "A guitar and harmonica." Page 78 Cha Cha: "I knew it..." //kirari// [Popy read their thoughts.] Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: HE'S JUST LIKE A GIRL STUDENT MAGICIAN!! [Popy sweatdrops.] Popy: "What are you doing? I could camp at the last school I studied at but I can't at Urara's..." Shiine: Really? //kasa// [The old couple come out of the bushes, they have found Popy.] Grandma: "This is great, we've found him." Grandpa: "Ok." Grandma: Alright, let them see how good you are, attack from here. Grandpa: Ok. Popy: "Are you guys done?" Cha Cha: "Hey we haven't seen enough." [Popy had had enough of the trio and was trying to get them out of his tent.] Grandpa: "Grandma..." Grandma: "What is it?" Page 79 Grandpa [holding his rifle]: "Where is my rifle?" Grandma [shouting into Granpa's ear]: "AREN'T YOU HOLDING IT IN YOUR HANDS?" Grandpa [looking at his rifle.]: "Ok. There's a lens for targeting..." [Grandpa takes aim.] Granma: "Now don't use up all the ammo." Granpa: "Ok." Page 80 [Grandpa focuses the target lens on Popy.] Grandpa: "Ok... target on." [He stares and fires.] [Meanwhile, Popy was chasing Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine who were running all over the place. They had help themselves to his things.] //shooting sound// Cha Cha: "Hey, this is the February issue of Ribon!" {Ribon is that shoujo magazine that prints ACC first.} Popy: "What's wrong with a guy reading shoujo manga!" //shooting sound// Shiine and Riya: "Hey, who's that girl in the picture?" Popy: "Stop looking! And give that back!" //shooting sound// [Grandpa is still trying to shoot Popy, he had missed all this while.] //ha ha ha// Cha Cha: "Hey it's Popy's underwear..." Popy: "Wah! Girls are not suppose to dig that up!" Page 81 [Popy blocks the entrance of his tent.] Popy: "I won't let you enter anymore!" Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: "AH!" Shiine: "Popy, we're unable to hide anything from you because you can read our thoughts." Cha Cha: "And yet you refuse to let us find out about you. You're mean." Riya: "That's right, you're mean, you're mean." [Popy realises his mistake, he face turns red.] Popy: "Alright... then I won't read your minds anymore just like that." Shiine: "That's strange, I've been hearing shots from just now..." Riya: "I smell gun powder." Popy: "Could someone be setting off fireworks?" //pom// [Cha Cha makes 4 rackets appear.] Cha Cha: "LET'S ALL HAVE A GAME OF TENNIS" //ha ha ha ha// [The gang start having a fun game of tennis.] [Meanwhile.] Grandpa: "Grandma, I just can't hit him." Granma: "These children are just too good at moving about." Page 82 Grandma: "Grandpa, it's time for a change of plans." Granpa: "Ok." [We start seeing Grandma's plan as she thinks it up.] Grandma: "You are going to act as a lonely old man in search of company. First you get close to them then think of a way to get Popy... stabbed, strangled, if not use something to knock him dead. Heard that, use your skills from a 100 hundred years of training how to kill." Grandpa: "......." Grandma: "....?" [Grandpa had fallen asleep!] Page 83 //boki// [Grandma kicks Granpa out of the bushes.] Grandma: "GO GRANDPA!" //goro goro heshi// [Grandpa tumbles and comes to stop in front of the gang.] Cha Cha, Riya, Shiine and Popy: "Huh?" Cha Cha: "Hey it's that Grandpa from just now." Page 84 [Grandpa lays on the ground in a twisted fashion.] Riya: "What happen? Is he dead?" Shiine: "What a weird stunt!" [Grandpa turns.] Cha Cha: "Hey he's moving!" [Grandpa gets up.] Grandpa: "I...want to play too!" [The gang sweatdrops.] Cha Cha: "Well it's ok but are your sure you're alright?" Shiine: "You didn't break anything right?" Grandpa: "Heh heh heh, I'm still young I won't lose to you all." [Grandpa starts waving a racket.] Grandpa: "Let's play squash!" Shiine [sweatdrops]: "It's tennis." Cha Cha: "THEN LET'S PLAY 1, 2, 3 BLOCKHEAD!" {I have no idea of what kindof game this is.} Grandma [still in the bushes]: "Grandpa has started to socialise with those kids." Gang: "1, 2, 3, blockhead!" Page 85 [The game goes on...] //ha ha ha ha ha// Grandpa: "I'm coming little girl!" [...and Grandma gets impatient.] Riya: "BLOCKHEAD!" Grandpa: "Wah!" Grandpa: "Now it's my turn!" Grandma [having all she could take]: "GRANDPA!!!!" [She shouted so loudly that the gang had a shock!] Grandpa: "Huh?" [He didn't hear her...] Grandpa: "Granma's calling me! Twist, twist!" {I used to say twist when I needed to pause a game with my friends.} Cha Cha: "Please hurry." [Grandpa pauses the game and goes off.] Grandpa: "Hey Grandma, 1, 2, 3, blockhead is alot of fun!" Grandma [greatly astonished]: "YOU WERE REALLY PLAYING WITH THEM?!" Page 86 [Grandma pulls Grandpa's ear.] Grandma: "Do you still remember your role?" Grandpa: "Ok." Grandma: "Do you still remember which is our target?" Grandpa: "Ok." [Grandpa leaves the bushes and walk towards the gang.] Grandma: "Then go, Grandpa!" Grandpa: "Ok." Riya: "Grandpa, hurry up and play!" Cha Cha: "Why doesn't Grandma come as well?" //shakin// [Granpa's holding a knife at Popy's back!] //kururi// [Popy turns.] Popy: "Grandpa, don't stand there, look for a place and site down!" Page 87 [Popy sees the knife Grandpa was holding, and grabs it.] Popy: "Thank you!" Grandpa: "Ah!" [Popy starts cutting a cake with the knife.] Popy: "I just happened to need a knife." [Grandpa staggers in shock!] Riya: "Make sure you cut the pieces evenly ok?" Cha Cha: "Grandpa, do you want to have some?" Shiine: "If you don't eat, the piece is going to that dumb dog!" Popy: ? //gashii// [Suddenly, Grandpa grabs Popy by the neck!] Page 88 [Popy uses his ESP in defence and Grandpa lets go.] Grandpa: "Waaahh!" Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: "Ahhh! Grandpa's hands look so weird." Popy: "That's was scary, I almost touched at mucus!" //wo wo// [Grandpa tries a lift a rock.] Shiine: "What is Grandpa trying to do?" Cha Cha: "He's been acting so weird ever since then." //hyoi// [Riya easily lifts the rock.] Riya: "Where do you want to carry this to? What you want to carry it yourself be careful." [Riya passes the rock. The rock was so heavy that Grandpa bended all the way back!] Gang: "WAAAAAAHHH!!!" Page 89 Riya: "AAAAHHHHH!! He's dead, he's really dead this time!" Cha Cha and Shiine: "AHHHHHHHH!! What to do? What to do?" //sa// [Grandma decides to take matters into her own hands.] Grandma: "Relying on Grandpa is of no use." //dobing// [A bullet barely misses Popy's foot!] Popy: "Hey!" Page 90 [Grandma points a gun at Popy.] Grandma: "No one moves! Or I'll shoot you in the stomach!" Cha Cha: "Oh no! Grandma's angry." Shiine [grabbing Riya]: "Grandpa was beaten by this guy!" Riya: "Hey! It was Grandpa who wanted me to pass him the rock!" Grandpa [still under the rock]: "Grandma, you're the greatest!" Riya: "He talked!" Grandma: "Take away that rock on Grandpa!" [Riya takes away the rock and Grandpa gets up, he wasn't hurt.] Riya: ....... [Grandpa rusns towards Grandma.] Grandpa: "Grandma!" Shiine: "Is he really human..." Page 91 Grandma: "Ha ha ha, even if we're beaten down we'll come back up again!" Riya: "THAT'S BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE BLOCKHEADS!" [The rest of the gang kinda collaspe in shock!] Grandma: "NO WAY!" Grandpa[to Grandma]: "I like this kid." Grandma: "We are the immortal killers. We've been doing this for the past 100 years. This time we're hired by Principal Momiji to get rid of Popy." [Popy is shocked to hear this.] Popy: "Momiji School?!" Grandma: "We'll leave once we're done with Popy. If you dare to get in our way, we'll kill everyone else as well." Page 92 //gu gu gu gu gu gu// [Popy starts burning in a strange fire.] Riya and Shiine: "AH....." Cha Cha: "POPY IS ANGRY!" Cha Cha: How scary... //hun// [The gun suddenly somersaults out of Grandma's hands.] Grandma: "Ah! The gun." //guru guru guru BAKI// [It twirls some more in the air and explodes into bits.] Grandma and Grandpa: "WAAAHH!!" Popy: "If you want to kill me, go ahead and try. But do you know that I have pychic powers?" [The old couple are shocked at hearing this.] Grandma: "Psy..Psychic powers? We didn't know." Grandpa: "Grandma, this child is scary." Page 93 Popy: "If you do not want your old bodies to break into pieces, I suggest you leave right now!" Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: "Popy's the greatest!" [Shiine trails a banner which says "Hero Popy!" ^_^] Grandma: "Wah!" [The old couple run away.] Grandma: "We'll escape for now!" Grandpa: "Grandma!" Grandma: "This is all to bluff them..." //kururi// [Suddenly the 2 of them whip around.] Grandma: "Now Grandpa, shoot the poison needle!" [Grandpa takes aim with his "pea shooter" (looks like a straw).] Popy: "That idiot!" Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine: "Popy! Look out!" Page 94 Grandpa: "GULP!" [Everyone else collaspes in shock!] [Grandpa starts crying to Grandma.] Grandpa: "AHH! Grandma! I swallowed the poison needle!" Grandma: "I ASKED YOU TO BLOW, NOT SWALLOW!" Grandpa: "Ah it hurts, Grandma my tummy hurts real bad." Grandma: "Hang in there, Grandpa!" Grandpa: "It really hurts..." Grandma: "Grandpa!" Popy: "This is too much, you're so weak and yet you still offer such services." Cha Cha: "He looks really hurt." Popy: "Open your mouth!" Grandpa: "Huh?" Page 95 [Later...] //waaaaahh// [Cha Cha, Riya and Shiine so full of envy that they all have big happy eyes!] Shiine: "He actually used his ESP to get the needle out of the stomach! It's so great!" Cha Cha: "Popy is going to be a doctor some day. What do you think?" Riya [hanging onto Popy]: "I really admire you..." Popy [blushing away]: "......" [The old couple have kneel down in front of Popy.] Grandma: "You're Grandpa's saviour!" Grandpa: "Thank you! Thank you!" [The old couple get up and walk away.] Grandma: "We cannot kill our benefactor. We'll not carry on this job anymore." Grandpa: "We'll eventually repay you someday, Grandma..." Shiine: "You guys kill people to make a repay your debts?" Grandma: "We've been working all our lives but we've not been able repay the debt." Min-sensei's arrow: "This is the reason for their immortal body." Page 96 [Grandma flashes an IOU.] Grandma: "Don't be alarmed! But we borrowed 10 yen!!" {it's presently a small amount} //waaahhhh// [Grandma starts crying, Grandpa cries along with her.] Grandma: "We actually wanted to become killers to repay our debt. But we've had no business after opening for a 100 years..." Grandpa: "We fouled up at our first job! Grandma...!!" [The gang is kinda shocked at this.] Popy: "..........10 yen......?" [The gang take a look at the IOU.] Popy: "Some more it's 10 yen without having to pay interest..." Shiine: "The date is already a 100 years ago, 10 yen must have been worth alot then." Cha Cha: "To be killed for a mere 10 yen is very unsatisfying." Old couple: ? Page 97 [Popy fishes out a 10 yen coin and gives it to them.] Popy: "Here! This is 10 yen, take it." Old couple: OUR SAVIOUR!! [Later on, Principal Momiji receives a report from the old couple.] Report: "Because of this, we're not going to be serial killers anymore, we've decided to serve Popy, goodbye! Ex-killers Grandpa and Grandma" [Principal Momiji is very shocked.] Principal Momiji: "What kind of attitude is this?!" [Grandma and Grandpa hang around Popy, dressed in servant clothing.] Grandma: "Please call me Granny." Grandpa: "Just call me Pappy." Popy: "Can you just go home?" ~End of Story 30~ Translated by and copyrighted to Michelle. = Previous Story = = Volume 6 = = Next Story = ŠTnlacc (The Native Land of Akazukin Cha Cha) Akazukin Cha Cha ŠAyahana Min.Shueisha/TV Tokyo/NAS This is only a site made by a fan.
