Editing NouCome: Volume 1 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 4===
"Ta......ouch!"

<!-- Page 146 line 3 -->
I woke up and felt pain immediately.

"Hey......I'm alive?"

Why was I sleeping here? Last night......Ah, that's it. Chocolat for some reason I don't understand tested 『48 Tickle techniques for winning in Sumo』 on me. It became pleasant and I fell asleep......No, I remember up to there but why is my body in so much pain?

"Ku......"

Getting up, which made my whole body creak and ache, I stepped to the table, and stretched out a hand to the 『10 Ways to Make Girls Smile ~ You are now The Popularity King!』 book sitting on it.

As for the cause of the pain, 『48 Tickle techniques for winning in Sumo』, I turned through some of the pages. At the last page was a red note.

※ Attention! When you study these 48 basic techniques in Sumo thoroughly an indescribable pleasure is attained at first then the side effects attack.

What is that......it's confusing. Beside that is a small cute character has a speech bubble and is winking.

『In the world there's not often good stories!』

"That's not so!"<ref>Last sentence ended with Dazo, an impolite 'it is!', he's basically saying 'it it, not' which doesn't work as well in english</ref>

Irritating, that's extremely irritating! I'm going to call and complain later. What on earth is with this publishing company.

On the spine is a 『Published by UOG』 mark.

"You?!"

On reflex I threw the book at the wall.

"What time is it now?......Ge."

Looking at the clock on the wall, it's past the time I normally leave at. Ku, I'm not normally a late riser......There's no help for it, I'll skip breakfast today.

I don't have time to wake Chocolat. Only because she is likely sleeping like a log carefree so there's no question in leaving her be.

My body screaming as though whipped, I changed my clothes.

<!-- Page 148 -->
Chocolat used that technique on me 10 to 20 times (as best as I can remember) yesterday.<ref>十数個 I believe means 10-19, or lots, but 10-20 sounds better in english.</ref>

And because of that I'm eating this full course of pain......my imagination made my body tremble shaking, I reached the hallway.

Isn't this durability? The pain seems to have softened which is fortunate.

"……That reminds me, there was that."

The rucksack was stored in the entranceway. A memo in very rounded writing was stuck to it.

『Furano-san also、baang, Baang!! Chocolat』

What's with that way of writing, seems like very dumb sentences.

I thought of checking the contents, but I feel like it's going to burst any moment, and will explode with any momentary openings.

Well, it's better than nothing. I opened the door while feeling the heavy weight on my shoulder from the bag.

"After all......it's useless."

On the way to school I thought whether there was any interesting ideas but I didn't think of anything by the time I reached the classroom. I opened the door and looked inside, I could see Yukihira standing by the windows.

<!-- Page 149 line 2 -->
Well, as I approached her thinking about things, she suddenly turned around without warning.

"Ah, Amakusa-kun, Goodyogurt."<ref>She starts to say Ohayou(good morning) but says instead Ohayogurt</ref>
......A terrible response with a troubling greeting.

What should I do for this? A comedic greeting, do I ignore it like it didn't happen? 

No, usually I would do either, but today I have to make Yukihira burst out in laughter no matter what. If I don't do the boke response with enthusiasim it will be bad.

"Wait a minute! That might be moo-old......moo." <ref>Yeah, not sure on that one. Take it as this pun until TLC</ref>

With yogurt being a dairy product I put in a cow call.

Yukihira, who briefly showed surprise, put on a serious look and stared into my eyes.

"I don't think it's a little."

......Chopped down with a single stroke.

"Amakusa-kun, yogurt is a dairy product, so you added a cow's moo."

"Could you stop calmly explaining it?"

"Moreover, don't you think it was a bit confusing, and then saying it once again at the end, that's a quite pathetic effort."

"You Hidee!"

"Furthermore, did you become a bit ashamed, there was a momentary hesitation before you said it the second time. A high school boy's embarrassment is not in demand anywhere in the world." 

"Umm......could you forgive it already?"

"So, well, should I do that? However, stylishness of the cow and moo, how should I put it......<nowiki>*Smile*</nowiki> That's not an urban way of speaking." 

"You're also not very normal!"

"Oh, that's rude. According to my YurokuO Comic, because it's authorized as official greetings it's properly listed in the dictionary."

"I stopped believing that after childhood!" <ref>Really not comfortable on translation of that line</ref>
Yukihira was in peak condition this early in the morning.


"Yukihira."

After the end of first period, I went straight to the desk Yukihira sat at. The deadline is one day, as of today. Even if the start was foiled, there's no time for hesitation.

<!-- Page 151 -->
"Oh, what's the matter Amakusa-kun?"

"You know, there's something I'd like you to see."

Yukihira started to be fidget and blush suddenly.

"Eh......stop it. That's, such a...... in daytime."

"It's absolutely not what you are imagining!"

"Oh, that's a disappointment."

In an instant Yukihira's expression returned.

"Well, what do you want to show?"

"That......is definitely a one-shot gag."

Yukihira had a dubious expression. That's so, I'm also saying why am I doing a thing like this, I don't understand it.

"Look, I'm really always retorting it seems? Because it's dull then, can I occasionally play the boke?" 

I somehow made up that reason.

"Indeed, the reason is this mornings disaster."

"......Please can you stop rubbing salt in the wound?"

<!-- Page 152 -->
"Understood. Then allow me to see the strongest gag in history."

......Why is this person arbitrarily raising the hurdle?  

"Then, please Amakuza Kanade-san 『Newly born statues of the two Heavenly Devas』"

"Is it even possible to do that!"

<nowiki>*Ku*</nowiki>. It's useless. I have to do it at my pace?

"L-lets go『While the fur seal was barking it awoke to geography.』"<ref>...yeah</ref>

<nowiki>*Pachi* *Pachi* *Pachi*</nowiki>

Expressionlessly, Yukihira let out an imitation sound......I felt like I was being derided but had no choice but to do it. I had used all of first period to think the special material through. I laid face down on the ground and raised my upper body off it.

"Ououou! Ouou……Ou! Ouu, Ouu Ou sanmyaku<ref>Ou Sanmyaku is a mountain in japan</ref>!"

"............"

The room was wrapped in an unbearable silence.

After a few seconds, that impression increased with the lifeless words Yukihira emitted.

"Amakusa-kun, do you think Tsukkomi should be done silently?"

Un......Even I think so.

<!-- Page 153 line 2 -->
"But Yukihira, giving a frank opinion becomes a reference for the future."

"That's pointless, I think you should die."

"As far as that?!!"

......This mission, I can't complete it.


After the second period.

"Yukihira, please look."

Without learning my lesson from Yukihira, I went to her desk.

I have a very strong willpower.

Yukihira looked slightly impressed. That's right, I have to stand up and handle this, because otherwise I'll have the Absolute Choices all my life.

"Well, what kind of mountain range material will you show this time?"

"No, with it bombing to that extent, I won't do something similar to that."

"What on earth happened? Amakusa Kanade thinking about other things than mountain ranges, it's unbelievable."
<!-- Page 154 -->
"No, why are you treating me like I have a fetish for mountain ranges!"

"But Amakuza-kun, earlier you said 『Haa......haa......oh crap, Yukihira. I can't be satisfied with just mountains anymore. If it's not mountains I'm not stimulated enough!』

"That's not a quote!"

It always ends like that. Though it fits my character to do the straight man role, I'm not used to this but today's a day to push my limits.<ref>couldn't word this properly</ref>

Please laugh quickly, I need to end it!

"Really、『The newly born Nio statues』, let's try that."

"......Amakusa-kun, recklessness is different from courage."

"No, the suggestion was from you."

"Oh dear, personally volunteering to die, if that's the case, I don't have the right to forbid it."

<nowiki>*Ku*</nowiki>......however these 50 minutes, if I think the ideas through, it will go well. I believe in myself!

"Zugogogogogogo, zugogogogogo<ref>Zugogogo is a menacing sound effect but he's doing it out loud</ref>. Alright, I'm the Nio. Just now I was born! zugogogogogo zugogogogogogo."

"............"

The scene was again wrapped in an unbearable atmosphere.

......Why was I thinking this would go over.

<!-- Page 155 -->
"Amakusa-kun, as I thought, being silent is the best method to represent the Nio statues."

I thought I would be criticized but for Yukihira that was fairly mild.

"And, I think Amakusa-kun you should remain silent for the rest of your life."

"Ah......yes......what, I'm sorry."

......Mission not achieved.



After 3rd period PE ended.

"Haa......haa......Yukihira......haa......Look......at me."

I dashed back to class, dishelveled and disordered.

"Amakusa-kun, a serif is slipping out the hole, it will give the pervert girls a good thrill."

"That......unexpected meeting......after this......pervert motif you're doing."  

"I see, Amakusa-kun's truely showing his calling. Unskillfully telling jokes, might be an amusing 
discovery."

I've prepared a patient mood for retorting to stuff. Now I need to concentrate on the joke material.

"Let's go  『transform from a telephone call.<ref>Hentai means pervert and transform</ref>
』."

That must have went well......this is bound to go well!
<!-- Page 156 -->

"O, Oneechan, what colour panties right now? Eh? Embarrassed? It is okay, it's no big deal. Eh? A man wants to hear for himself. Gufufu......Thats no bread I think! Anyhow that's my transform!"<ref>last half of the sentence is a mess/wrong</ref>

"............"
