Taiko: "Shh" Taiko: "Ah! He went in!" Haruka: "At this time, the ones who are using that classroom are the computer club" TaikO: "Alright, I'm going!" Haruka: "Hey! What?!" Taiko: "I have a request!!" =Page 175= Kurata: "Wh-What is it, you!" Taiko: "Don't ask me 'what?'!!" Club Member 1: Hey, this person is looking bad, hurry and close up! Club Member 2: Got it! Assam: "These guys are completely oblivious, aren't they" Taiko: "Eh?" Haruka: "It's me, Kurata" Kurata: "Uchiyama" Taiko: "He..." Haruka: "How have things been lately?" Taiko: "Haru..." Kurata: "Well, they've been a lot of crashes" Haruka: "Really?" =Page 176= Taiko: //Wha--// <--furthermore is at a complete loss on the subject Haruka: What's your OS version? Kurata: I installed the latest one last month Haruka: Ah, I guess so. That one crashes a lot. If you haven't applied a patch to the system, the Hard-drive will act up. Kurata: If you mean the patch, we installed it Haruka: Was it the English edition? That one's no good. Taiko: //What are they chatting about---// Assam: "Hey" Assam: "Is it okay for that guy to be running away?" Taiko: "Eh..." Taiko: //Ah!!// Haruka: "H--Hey wai.." =Page 177= Haruka: "Another time, I'll do some maintenance stuff" Taiko: //Haruka?!// Haruka: "And that patch we talked about before, I'll bring a guy who can give you the Japanese version" Taiko: "Haruka..." Kurata: "Ah, that's right. I thought I'd seen this nerd somewhere..." Kurata: "The tea-club association leader" Is it a club so you can practice making tea and photocopying for when you become an office-lady in the future? What low intentions... Taiko: "THAT BASTARD" Taiko: "I'd like to coil that boneless ham with a kite-string and give him up an offering to a Martian during the Bon Festival!" (**translator's note** Bon Festival is one that takes place in Japan from August 13th-15th. During the period of Bon or Obon, it is believed that a person's ancestors will revisit in spirit form. So they prepare food offerings) Haruka: That's fine, but it'd be a crime =Page 178= Taiko&Haruka: AH? Someko: "Ah, Taiko-chan, Mika-chan" Earl Grey: Welcome back Sugino: "Uchi..." Haruka: "Sugino, YOOOU! What are you doing here, leisurly drinking tea?!" Taiko: ...Haruka...have you lost it? Sugino: Waaan! I'm sorry I'm sorry Haruka: "Since a club leader like you has been laughing about, the computer association will be caught with the fake stamp the same as yourself" Sugino: Eh "How's that..." Haruka: "Because they've started asking for too much money recently" It's suspicious Taiko: "So you mean the computer association was the wire-puller?! Then what was with that blonde-haired guy?!" <--this guy =Page 179= Haruka: He was just hired to be a mediator. That's why we left him alone. Sugino: "I know it was a stupid thing to do" Sugino: "But I guess with that method..." My club has been established for two years. Just one new student isn't enough Haruka: "Well if your club is abolished because of this last method, we won't help you" Taiko: "Hey...they haven't decided to abolish the club yet..." Haruka: "That student council kaichou is a girl who will do it!" Haruka: "You guys are viewing the student council too kindly!" Thinking about it, they're already noticing the computer club Someko: Aaah, yaah, it's going potty! Haruka: "I don't know!" Haruka: "You twerp, go home!" Someko: Yaan! My Somekocchi died! <--reset it =Page 180= (Siguno-kun is in can't-see mode) Sugino: //? Twerp?// <--"twerp" Taiko: "Haruka.." Assam: "Hey" Assam: "He's fine, that guy" Assam: "Even though he said those things, he's still thinking over everything" Don't worry Assam: Seeya Taiko: //What was with that, so well done...// Taiko: //I've been acquainted with Haruka for a long time, I guess// Taiko: //That's right// =Page 181= Haruka: //Be careful// Haruka: //If you're stupid, you'll catch a summer cold// Taiko: //Bad things may come out his mouth// Sugino: It seems I've really made Uchiyama mad...he probably hates me... Someko: Mika-chan is always that way Taiko: "It's okay!" =Page 182= Taiko: "When it comes to Haruka" Taiko: "Even though is friends are important to him, he's bad with essentials, which is annoying" Taiko: //But he's a good guy// Student Council member: "We're student council executives! Hand in any materiel you've been holding onto from that place, in the corridor!" Student Council member: "We're performing an intervening inspection!" Kurata: We..."We never heard anything about this! Aren't we approved?!" Student Council Member: "You certainly have. Are you going to look?" =Page 183= Kurata: "U..." Student Council Member: "By the way, this is the real approval stamp" Student Council Member: "Have you ascertained it with us?" Student: Hey, he's come forth Kurata: Crap Student Council Member: "Horiuchi, shall we go?" Horiuchi: "Hold on a just a second, please, right now" Teacher: "It'll be alright, buchou. But if you've seen the image data of the fake stamp..." Kurata: "Don't be confused! They're being excessively crafty just for this moment!" Student: "Buchou, what is that guy doing?" Kurata: "That's the student council's accountant, Horiuchi. He handles the student council executive computers, too..." He's a finance software demon. Otherwise, he's the student council executive's allowance administrator Student Council member: "How is it?" Horiuchi: "I'm not finding anything particularly suspicious..." Student Council member: "That's stupid" =Page 184= Student: "We've found some particularly suspicious materiel over here..." and we mean suspicious in a different way Student 2: Wah Kurata: "Hahaha! So everything's fine already, is it" Kurata: "Have you found anything?" Student Council Member: "...damn..." Kikuka: "You didn't find anything?" Kikuka: "..." Kikuka: "And now...?" Student Council Member: "Kaichou! When it comes to computers, my friend is much more cheerful than I am. Was it useless to request collaboration with him?" Kikuka: "---..." =Page 185= Kikuka: "...I understand" Kikuka: "Please go and speak with that person" Someko: "Taiko-chaan!" Someko: "What about club today?" Taiko: "Hmm well...Haruka is taking a day off to see Sugino-kun and talk about a counter- plan from here on out, it seems?" Someko: "Do you think Mika-chan is alright?" He seemed energetic yesterday Taiko: "He's cunning at any rate" =Page 186= Taiko: "Seeya..." Student: "Heey, Yoshioka! You know of Uchiyama-s apartment, right? He took that person with him" Taiko: "Heh?" Assam: "Hey, I finished washing this stuff" Haruka: "Well, I'm starving, so make some food" =Page 187= Assam: "You asshole! What are you thinking!" Assam: "You're just making me do freaking odd jobs!" Odd jobs also mean house-work? Assam: "If you want food, you can make it yourself, you asshole!" Haruka: "You're the asshole, that kind of behavior toward your master?! I'm irritated from lack of sleep, so listen to what I have to tell you!!" Assam: he's perfectly capable of doing this stuff himself <--Made dinner last night, also =Page 188= Haruka: "Didn't I tell you last night not to switch the breaker off while somebody's using the computer, too?!!" Have you no learning ability?! <--did this last night, also Haruka: If it's the bill collector, tell them we don't have TV. Just like before we're not going to pay Taiko: "Ah Haru..." Taiko: "Geh" Taiko: "Eh--Assam?! Why are you dressed like that?!" Assam: "Th-That's becuase..." Haruka: "Taiko?" Haruka: ...huh? Horiuchi? Horiuchi: Uchiyama =Page 188= Taiko: "Eh, he's from the student council?!" Haruka: "You brought him here not knowing that?" Horiuchi: "Without any proof we can't unmask them! I came to request your general consent, Uchiyama!" Haruka: "You came to see what data they stole?" Horiuchi: "Cooperate!" Haruka: "Really, last night when I stayed up" Haruka: "They performed maintenence, and when the file they had been pretending to hide was found, they stole the data to cancel it" Haruka: "Or so is the dream-like program they made" Taiko: "Haruka?!" =Page 189= Taiko: "Harukah you're helpling him?! A member of the student council?!" Taiko: //Eeeh!// Haruka: "It's fine if you need me to lend a hand" Taiko: "Haruka" Horiuchi: ! Haruka: "But I won't just do that" Haruka: "You'll also have to accept my terms, though. That's right" Haruka: "I only have three" Haruka: "Yo, Kurata! I brought that patch I said I would before!" Kurata: "Uchiyama" Haruka: Here it is Haruka: "Ah, I also brought something else" =Page 190= Taiko/Someko: "PARDON US!" Someko: Kyaa "Waah, amazing, all of these computers!" Kyaa! This is the first time I've come into this room kyaa Kurata: "Wh-what's with this!?" Haruka: "Well, they said they wanted to see the internet" It's somehow appropriate Kurata: "They're looking at all of the machines in bad condition!" Haruka: "So I'm saving you" <--are really pretending to be from different clubs Taiko: "..." Someko: Someko wants to see a funny home-page! Taiko: "Why are you cooperating with the student coucil?! We didn't want to beat the computer club ourselves, did we?!" =Page 191= Haruka: "I never said that" Haruka: "At present time, Sugino's in the hands of the executives. Didn't I say that in cooperating it was on my terms?" Taiko: "But..." Haruka: "This was my first term" Haruka: "I said that the clubs other than the ones that are being specifically sought out should not recieve any punishment" Taiko: "Ah..." Someko: Mika-chan, that's so cool Haruka: Fufufu what about now Taiko: //...or so he's said// =Page 192= Taiko: //Good luck, Haruka// Taiko: //So what's with this classroom....// "Waah! Machine-talk!" Guy: "Hmm I definitely think this portion of the system kernal is up for verification" Haruka: //you're wrong, IDIOT// Kurata: "Don't access that disk like that" =Page 193= Haruka: "I'm fetching the portion of the patch" Haruka: //Shit// Haruka: //Hurry and finish// Earl Grey: "Taiko-san..." Taiko: "Nn?" Earl Grey: "The current state is..." Kurata: "It seems that the number of times with this has really increased since before" Haruka: "That's because the machine is having problems. There, it's done" =Page 194= Haruka: "Well, I should do some other maintence, should I..." Kurata: "No, that's no good. We'll do it ourselves, later" Kurata: "If you'll just let me borrow that convinient software" Assam: "Hey!!" Assam: "I'll mess with the atmosphere, do what you have to in that time" Taiko: //Oh no, something really is...// the atmosphere is weird =Page 195= Taiko: "Hey, Someko" Someko: "Nn?" A VERY STRANGE WAY OF DRESSING Taiko: "What's with you, Someko?!" Someko: "Same goes to you, Taiko-chan..." Someko: "NOOO! What is this?!" Kurata: "Camera! Camera! What are you doing, get a camera!" Taiko: "Don't come, idiot!" What do you think you're going to take pictures of?! Someko: Go away! =Page 196= Haruka: "Kurata!" Haruka: "I'll be taking this! Seeya!" Taiko: Ah... Taiko: We're back... Goodmorning 'Morning "Yo, did you hear? The computer club's been ordered to dismember!" "No way!" =Page 197= Boy: "Well they were being inclined to them" a little more than other groups... Boy: It's true Someko: "Good morning! Hey have you heard the school gossip about the computer club?" Taiko: "Naturally those kind of people are being punished!!" Someko: "But they really did steal data, didn't they. What was the thing that Mika-chan took from them?" Taiko: "It had been counterfiet" The jerks had been holding onto it since before the software maintenence was done =Page 198= Haruka: "Yo! Oh, it smells good" Someko: "Ah, Mika-chan, good morning!" Taiko: "Haruka, Horiuchi-kun came before" Someko: I want all that milk Taiko: Will you drink it? Someko: I'll drink it Haruka: "Horiuchi did?" Taiko: "Yeah, and he brought that" For Haruka, he said Taiko: "It was kind of heavy, wasn't it?" Haruka: "Oooh! YEESS!!" Haruka: "This is yours" Taiko: "Aaah!" =Page 199= Haruka: "Fufufu" Taiko: "It's been stamped!" Haruka: "That was my second term" Haruka: "'Let us have our poster be stamped'" Taiko: "Haruka, that's too much!"" =Page 200= Someko: "Huh? Well, what was the 3rd term of agreement?" Haruka: Ehe? Taiko: "What's with that laptop?! You had them give you forfieted equipment from the computer club?!" Haruka: "Hehehe" Assam: "As usual, it's the same hard life for us, isn't it" Earl Grey: "..." --Tsp. 5 Spring's Storm: Owari--
