...and you see, when I talked about you guys to my dad,
who's a newspaper writer, he got really curious
and said that he'd like to interview you!
It's just a small column in a local paper,
but he said he wants to do a basic photo shoot and interview!
I actually got permission from the school, see,
and my dad'll be coming here directly at 5 o'clock.
Blabber blabber blabber
Doesn't sound too bad, right? You'll all cooperate, right?
Cut it down a notch!
How much can one person blab?
So, in other words...
Dad. Interview. Thanks.
I like you, Usui-kun. You're funny.
Thanks!
All set.
Episode 19: Panic and 100 Haircuts In the Principal's Office and Clubroom.
All set, my butt!
You're way too far out in front!
Let's line up more equally.
What's wrong with it?
I'm the leader!
I'd even be fine solo.
Like hell you would.
You want the lone girl in the middle!
So move it, bud!
Don't wanna.
Switch with me!
I don't wanna!!
He's dead serious!
There, there.
Isn't it best to have me, the one with glasses, in the center?
The only ones who can get away with that is The Alfe!
Sheesh...
Bossun, your hair's getting pretty long.
Oh yeah, I haven't got it cut for a while.
It sucks, since we're actually getting our picture taken...
What's the big deal?
The center has the longest hair in Alfe, too...
No, it's clearly the one on the right!
Whatever, let's take off that hat.
Good grief! Cut that mess!
I'll lend you the money,
so go get it cut at the hairdresser on the corner right now.
I don't need to, and I ain't goin'!
You're impossible.
You think you're my damn mother?
Get over it... Having it this long is still fine.
But before long, my curls will stop behaving.
Even if one side springs up,
the other side'll get like this.
That's the time to get it cut.
Whatever! Just get it cut by 5!
'Cause if you don't... I'll cut that hare!
Leave Bossun Bunny out of this!
You're really going to cut my hair?
I'm good with this sort of thing.
Are you a student? Oh, maybe in high school?
How would you like it cut today?
Do I really have to play along with this?
Boss, nice work today. Finished with the shampoo!
Thanks!
Enough already, this was never a good idea.
You're not taking it seriously.
It'll be fine! Shut up and sit down, stupid!
But it's my hair!
There's no second chances!
I'm just gonna trim the places that are really bad.
Now then...
Sheesh, that part is pissin' me off.
That's way beyond an "outward curl".
It's a friggin' sproing.
Off they go.
*snip*
It went *snip*!
Crap, I'd better snip this over here, too...
*snip*
I've already blown it.
Switch...
We have an emergency situation, I see.
In this case, you need to do all you can
to make sure your mistakes on the sides don't stand out.
Yeah, totally.
Okay, then.
Hey, not bad.
You got a nice rhythm going.
Maybe you've actually got a little beautician in you after all!
Y-You think?
Do me a favor and make sure you don't cut it too short.
There's no going back, after all.
Going...
Oh, nevermind.
There's no... going back.
Oh, crap. I made a patch of savanna!
Was he bald there?
Did I do that?
I'm sorry, Bossun...
I really regret my lack of skill with this...
Wait... If I give up, the match is over!
I can still go on!
Himeko.
That's enough.
Switch...
You've... done enough.
I was thinking, and I recalled that Chuu-san's drug
was supposed to be a super powerful hair growth formula.
Perhaps we could use that, and regrow his hair?
That's it!
Switch, you're awesome!
Buy me some time, god damn it!
Roger.
Science Prep Room
Yeah, I have it.
You do?!
After the experience with the age regression drug, I recently perfected it.
Here, Tocolotion 10.
It'll pump out hair like a locomotive...
That's it!
Does it explode?
Probably not.
Perfect!
I'll just be borrowing this!
Yeah, but I still need to make some adjustments...
Don't worry about that!
As long as it grows hair, I'm fine!
For some reason you appeared in my class in elementary school, Bossun!
When I went out to the hall, the shark from before came swimming in mid-air...
Hey, does this dream go on for a while?
And I was so shocked!
Where'd Himeko go?
Leaving my head high and dry...
I'm here!
Okay, continuing!
Sheesh...
For now, I'll put this drug on the bald spot...
And wait for a little while.
Ewww!
Why?!
hair grew naow
It's getting even longer!
Hoshi 0142 - @swich 0228 Then maybe you should go to a barbershop?
Longer?! What in the world are you talking about?
no, hair growth is to cover something up, like alfe's right
What the hell is this?
Give me a break, seriously!
No way I'm gonna get my picture taken for the interview with a punk-ass look like this!
If we use this drug and grow your entire head of hair,
we can return your hair to how it was originally.
And if we screw up, we can grow it again, so go on, fear not.
Fear yes! What do you take my head for, a chia pet?!
Now, now...
Okay, we'll apply the drug...
All over... Not a hair spared...
Then, wait a little while.
Bossun!
What just happened to me?!
The world's suddenly gone all dark!
Don't worry.
It's a bit horrific, but your hair has definitely grown.
You open?
Stop actin' like you're peeking through a curtain at a bar!
Anyway, don't hold back, and cut me down to about where I was.
I'll go straight for it!
Don't cut too much off.
It's taking a while for us to see his face.
About like this, right?
We'll start from here, and slowly get closer to the usual Bossun.
I've gotten pretty used to these scissors, so I can do this.
You saying that has caused abnormal amounts of confidence to well up within me.
Come on, you. Handle this side.
I'll do this one.
Roger!
All finished!
No, you ain't!
You ain't finished crap!
You noticed, right?!
'Cause you did it together!
'Cause you split it and each did half!
And I was like, all "Wait a..." but no...
'Cause you did it together, look at this!
Sure, yeah, sorry and all that.
But cut down your comebacks.
So the longer the hair, the longer the comeback?
What's with you two? Stop screwing with me!
Fix it!
Use Tocolotion 10 again!
Seriously, that's enough of that.
Freaky, man.
Whatever. Just get me back to the starting style already.
Okay, finished.
Isn't this good enough as is?
It was pretty much like this at the start.
You guys are getting more and more blasé about this, aren't you?
This time...
...leave it...
...to me!
Oh, two-handed scissors, is it?
The crucial thing is balance between the left and right sides.
As I am a switch-hander, if I use scissors in both hands,
I should be able to finish with a balanced look!
Hi, I'm Bosu!
Man, there are so many powerful people in the world!
You idiot!
Now we've got way bigger problems than balance!
Seriously, get with the program!
I've got to fix this before 5!
I know... I know...
We have plenty of the drug lllleft...
We'll keep redoing it until it's a perfect field.
What's a perfect field?
Okay, let's cut.
We'll begin with the starting style.
Time me, okay?
And like so, the Cut Bossun's Hair plan continued with failure after failure.
As an effect, after each repeated use of the rapid hair growth drug
the hair grew stronger... and ever more stiff.
It seems kind of bristly...
And ever more curly!
Huh? Is it getting curlier?
It won't stop growing! Hey!
No! Gross!
Freak! Stay away, you monster!
Someone save me!
We decided with rock-paper-scissors, so no complaints.
I'm in the center.
No objection.
Let's line up already.
Line up, sure... But I have to kneel!
Okay!
Thank you all so much.
I think this is going to be a really interesting article.
And thanks to this hairstyle, everyone is gonna remember me!
The Evergrowing Perm
Hey, the point's completely changed!
W-What's this?!
Student Council Executive Board
We will now start our standard meeting.
See what I mean, Minorin?
You need money in this world, that's what.
That is not the case.
What one needs is good friends.
Daisey-chan,
one of the people in our class confessed his love to you the other day, right?
Rejected.
Silence!
We are the Student Council!
What is with all the chatter?
We must set an example for the other students!
All to improve our school!
A better school breeds better education,
for the youth of our nation that will become its future!
As usual, you are getting hyped up about this.
Get with the progra-man.
It's because of that...
He saw the article on the Sket-dan.
Oh, I get it.
Anyway, if anyone has any mishaps to report...
We'll start with General Affairs, Shimba-san.
Students came to apologize after practicing juggling
in the first floor hallway of the clubroom building
and having the ball hit and break the fluorescent light on the ceiling.
I gave them a strict warning, and replaced the light.
That is all.
I will not accept playing in the hallways!
It was those soccer team bastards, wasn't it?
N-No... It was the Sket-dan.
Say what?!
What the hell were they doing?
All they ever do is ruin the image of Kaimei Academy students!
And now they go breaking the fluorescent lights!
I'm going to go give them a little warning.
Now, now...
Oh, I also have a report.
You do, President?
I happened to be the only one around, so I listened to what he said.
A guy came by to apologize for losing his balance and crushing the flowers
while he was practicing
the Shiranui sumo ring entrance style beside the flower beds.
Wait, don't tell me that's also...
Yeah.
He was wearing a red cap with horns...
He said his name was Yamada Taro!
Yamada Taro (16, Male)
That's the Japanese version of John Doe!
It's Fujisaki!
Did you forget?
Oh, yeah.
I was pretty sleepy at the time.
Please don't use the Student Council room for afternoon naps!
I also have a report to make.
Asahina?
The door to the women's locker room broke, so I had it replaced.
Damn him... This was Fujisaki's doing again?
No.
It was mine.
Why?!
It wouldn't open smoothly, which vexed me.
Don't do that!
Don't just break things on instinct!
And don't go changing the door on your own, either!
We can't just go changing things?
I received many requests from the female students...
Although I did it independently,
I felt it was all for the sake of bettering our academy.
So I redid all the girls' bathrooms in sheer luxury!
Don't go renovating!
I increased the stall size,
and also replaced the sinks with larger, easier to use ones.
In the end, the area was increased by a factor of 3!
How did you do that?
A few small sacrifices did have to be made...
Don't just make the boys' bathroom smaller!
RIC! Report, Inform, Consult!
Those are the basics, right?
That's going way beyond something you can do on your own!
Well, I just reported it,
so why don't we all go to the girls' bathroom to see...
I can't do that!
President!
It's over?
Anyway, keep up the good work, people.
Dismissed.
President!
Now now, Tsubaki-chan.
It's about time. Let's head to the principal's office.
Wait, what's going on again?
Not again, President...
Today is the principal's birthday.
You're the one that told us all to go throw him a party!
I did?
Reception Room
The principal should be giving an interview to the Academy Times right now.
Oh, you have grandkids?
They're so cute!
You told us to sneak into the principal's office and throw a surprise party while he's busy.
They're the apple of my eye...
Oh, did I?
You were just saying whatever you felt at the time, weren't you?
KMI!
Kibun de Mono wo Iu na! Don't say whatever you feel like!
I brought all these snacks just for the occasion!
And look, I baked a cake.
My, how wonderful!
Oh, I see, I see...
Have fun, everyone!
President!
The principal has been... cursed!
Yeah, no. He's fine.
Was this bronze bust always here?
He's wanted one for a long time, and finally got it recently.
He seems to cherish it.
Now then, let's go over the steps.
When the principal comes, we'll pop the crackers on the count of 3.
Then everyone together shouts "Happy Birthday" and "Hey, Loverboy".
What?
That was your idea, too.
Also, President, you are the only one who hasn't signed the card yet.
Hurry up and write it.
Righto.
Ugh, this is exactly the kind of thing I hate...
I think I'll refrain from talking off the top of my head from now on...
That bust doesn't look a thing like him, though...
You think?
It's because it doesn't have the glasses.
Oh, maybe you're right!
Then if I put them in like this...
See?
Oh, shit!
What are you doing, Agata?
Erase it quick, before the principal comes!
Here, take this water!
This is a permanent marker.
President!
Calm down for a bit.
There is no reason to erase it.
What needs to be done is to make sure the glasses don't stand out.
I drew in the eyes with the same pen.
Daisey-chan, why did you do that?
You're screwing with us, right?
It was vexing me.
Don't do it!
Well, I figured we'd have to erase it anyway...
Wait... It can't be erased?
We'll erase it.
At this point, we'd damn well better erase it.
Is there some good advice for this?
Can I go back now?
I apologize for how I am about to address you, President.
What in the world did you just say?!
It said it'd probably be okay!
And that no one will notice the graffiti on the bust!
Sagittarius Your graffiti on the bust will probably not be noticed.
Lucky Item: Strawberry Shortcake
That's what my morning horoscope said.
What channel was that?
Now that I think about it,
I've heard of a trick for erasing oil-based magic markers...
If you fill in over with a water-based magic marker,
then you can erase it well.
Ooh, that definitely sounds like a secret trick!
With a water-based marker pen...
Let's try it.
Okay. Fill it in over the top, then wipe it off!
And whose fault is this again?
Like this, I guess?
He's totally looking like a comic strip character now.
The principal is crying black tears!
Wipe it off!
Wipe the tears and everything off!
Well, I kind of had a feeling this was going to happen...
The situation is now officially out of control.
Now it's an old dude with a burnt face!
What're you going to do, Tsubaki?
Tsubaki-chan!
M-Me?
Dou Sun No? What'll you do?
Not you, too!
What'll we do? I can't...
I think I recall a trick where you use potato chips,
and the oil seeps into the ink, making it easier to erase.
Okay! It doesn't matter anymore, just try it!
Will this do?
I hope nori-salt flavor will work...
Probably...
We're screwed, aren't we?
It's a sad day...
Why did we rub potato chips on the principal's head again?
What'll you do, Tsubaki?
Tsubaki-chan!
DOS!
Dead or Sekinin wo tore! Dead or Take Responsibility!
It's important not to waste food, after all.
I'll take responsibility, and resign from being Vice President!
We can't have that!
We were joking! Sorry about that.
You're just so easy to tease, Tsubaki-chan.
At this point, we need to take extreme measures.
Extreme...
...measures?
We will erase it!
Erase what?
The face itself!
Scary!
Sure, you look all cool, but that idea is dangerous!
Wait a second already!
Don't worry...
We'll rough up the skin nice and good,
and it'll look even more like a realistic old man!
President!
Daisey, head to J-son-sensei's place and borrow some rasps.
Understood.
Um, are you sure these are what you want?
Wouldn't sandpaper work better?
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind.
But there's no going back now.
Let's ride this train 'til the end of the line.
We're at the end of the line, all right.
What'll we do?
We can't give up. We must think.
The old man'll be coming pretty soon, right?
Now, I'll take a picture of you with your bust!
I'm looking forward to a great article.
He's coming!
No! Don't let him in, no matter what!
Oh? Do you need something?
Principal!
I challenge you to a side-stepping competition!
Uh, no.
What's this?
Daisey!
No violence!
What was that?
Um, we heard it's your birthday today...
Oh, I see.
It's a secret from me, and you don't want me to come into the room yet.
Right, so...
Well, now I want to see it even more!
One, two...
Happy Birthday!
Could this be a big scoop?
What'll we do?
We managed to knock him unconscious pretty well,
but we can't keep this under wraps any more.
You think he'll forgive us if we apologize?
The bust is totally busted.
I contacted home.
The principal's bust
seems like it can be repaired with the cooperation of the Unyuu Group!
If they can gather the necessary craftsmen in time, it can be done.
Yay!
That's our Mimorin!
You need money in this world, that's what.
Motsubeki Mono wa Kane! You need money in this world.
MMK!
But it will take a little bit of time.
It's best if we had the original face, but if the sculpt has to be from scratch...
I knew it, we're screwed!
Wait...
Right!
Let's take a picture while we have the chance.
Shimada-san, was it?
Yes?
Make sure to keep what happened to the principal's bust a secret, okay?
Sure, I understand!
But in return, next time...
Right, got it... A personal interview. Leave it to me.
There you go promising things again...
Are you sure that's all?
With my pocket money, I could easily raise the newspaper's budget 50 times...
That's not right!
She's joking.
You're so serious, Tsubaki-chan.
HTM.
Hontou Tsubaki-chan wa Majime Tsubaki-chan is really serious.
Okay, say cheese!
One-on-one Interview with Principal Karamatsu!
Was the expression always like that?
Hey, Loverboy!
The mixer! A place where boys and girls meet each other.
And to comedians, a place of battle!
Let's go!
I'm gonna do it!
I'll become a Master Mixer Laugh Machine!
Yeah, go right ahead.
And when you get there, bomb big time.
I ain't gonna bomb!
Okay, I'll start with a little attention-getter...
Funny!
Uh, or maybe an impression!
You would kill with that.
Mistress Hime!
Next time: Stick it in the Mixer
Right on!
Leave next time to me!
Sket Dance!
