Hot Springs Itadakimasu"
Translation by Toyu-chama
Pelocchi Fruit Yogurt
You're at your grandpa's house right now?
Well, whatever. Just come as soon as you can.
What? Impossible?
I see. I understand.
Come now. It's fine, just come.
You've got fifteen minutes to come!
Who were you on the phone with?
Uchida.
Uchida? I heard she's visiting the countryside.
Yeah.
Were you just asking her over right now?
Is something wrong with that?
No, not really.
Papa, my kite got stuck.
Did you now? Oh, boy. You might get scolded.
This is boring.
Boring...
What are you trying to do?
Stop acting like you're the only one who's important!
Ojisan, would you like some tea?
You lack a cooperative personality!
Then you should do your homework.
So, what now? Cooperative personality. Cooperative personality!
Does that really need my urgent attention?
Ever since New Year's, the world has been in a state of chaos!
Compared to that, we look like a bunch of hibernating bears without any objectives!
That's right! No different from this Fujioka!
So what's your objective?
Uh, well, I was gonna think about that in a little...
Stop making a ruckus without an objective, you idiot!
Papa, my kite got stuck!
Did you now, Yuki-chan?
Well, New Year's is always something like this.
So why are you here, then?
When you think New Year's, shrine visits and the first sunrise come to mind.
There's a bunch of events for couples.
Kana, do you want some tea?
Haruka-chan, please get some for me too...
Stop sipping tea here and go play with your so-called girlfriend!
Can't you tell that he's here only because he has nothing else to do?
I had it all planned out. I wanted some fun too.
Then she had to cancel. On top of that, I can't connect to her cell phone.
How annoying.
Are you talking about yourself?
Welcome to the peak of your New Year's excitment, the all-region talent show! We are now nearing the finals...
I can't forgive them.
When it's New Year's, there's always a talent show.
Can't they do something else?
Really? It's interesting, isn't it?
Then show us.
What?
A hidden talent.
Wait, why me?
I wanna see...
If you think it's fun, then show us a funny talent!
Some applause for Haruka's hidden talent!
I don't think I can...
Right?
Oh, this is... well... against my better judgement...
Wait here.
I'm looking forward to it. How about you, Chiaki?
I'm sorry, Haruka-neesama.
Duwa!
Yes?
Happy New Year!
Hurray!
You have some business here?
What do you mean? You invited us with that phone call in the morning.
That's right. You told us to come immediately.
What's with that look you have?
Wait, that's my line.
Since it's a new year, I thought I'd start everything from scratch and start coming here as a boy instead of Mako-chan.
Come back when you're ready.
Why me too?
Yes?
Happy New Year.
Hur-
Last year, there was a new birth in the animal kingdom...
So in the end, I'm still stuck in these clothes.
It can't be helped, can it? Kana only approves of Mako-chan.
I thought I could change back this year...
I think you're fine the way you are right now.
Stop saying it like I'm not here...
Either way, it's fine.
Sorry to make you wait!
What the hell are you doing? We have visitors.
Take her off the stage!
I'm looking forward to having a nice year with you, Touma and Mako-chan.
Uh, same here.
Please be kind to me this year too.
So what was that thing before all about?
Don't pay any mind to it.
I was just sleepy. Honestly.
I'm sorry, Haruka...
Huh? Hey Kana, you ate some of my cake, didn't you?
What was that? How dare you accuse your grieving older sister.
But, if it's not you... huh?
My diary is gone.
That can't be... it was right here a minute ago.
I can't let anyone see its contents. Is my carelessness getting the best of me?
Calm down. I mustn't panic. Just act natural and look under the kotatsu...
What? What?
What's wrong, Chiaki? You're acting strange.
I'm not acting strange!
Are you pissed about how small your otoshidama was?
Note: Otoshidama is a monetary present received during New Year's.
I thoroughly commented about my otoshidama... in my diary.
Did you see it? Are you mocking me because you saw it?
Well if Chiaki's pissed, it's about that end of year thing. You know, that thing.
That thing? This "end of year thing" must be about that.
But wait...
Chiaki, you still have some cake left over.
Did you want something else?
Haruka-neesama! I confess. I wrote that even though cake was fine, I wanted to eat kinakomochi with some kuromitsu.
Note: Kinakomochi are rice cakes covered in a sugary powder usually eaten with kuromitsu, which is dark, thick syrup.
Ah, jeez. I'm starting to suspect everyone now...
What should I do? Where did my diary go?
Fujioka, you were hiding it for me?
Or rather, were you the one who took it?
Someone's been eating my snacks! Who ate it?!
Liar, you've been eating it all along.
Shut up! Give me what you have!
It's not good to be suspicious of people.
Why so suddenly?
What's wrong, Chiaki?
It's not good!
Thanks for the meal.
Thank you for the meal.
But you know, being so bored like this makes you feel empty, right?
What, me?
Do you wanna fly a kite or something?
See, this is what I'm talking about.
But, I kinda want to go somewhere far away.
Let's go somewhere!
You go somewhere else.
We don't have a means of transportation.
I brought some snacks.
Hmm, what?
Sorry, Ojisan. It's your New Year's break after all.
I don't mind. It's much more constructive than lying around at home.
You didn't have anyone to go out with anyways, right?
M-My bad. I won't mention it again.
Besides, everyone's lives are in your hands.
I'm sorry. Kana casually says things that are on people's minds.
It's fine. I was thinking that I shouldn't be worked up about it all the time.
I'll use this break to find a new-
Turn left here.
Left, okay.
Fujioka-kun, right? Why did he come with us?
Oh, Kana invited him, saying "it's a group outing, after all".
The thing is, he's pretty friendly with Kana-chan.
What kind of relationship do they have?
Hmm, he's Kana's...
Turn left here.
Left it is.
Haruka-chan, do we turn left again here?
No... ummm... let's see...
Hey, are we there yet?
I think we're probably getting close.
Is everything gonna be alright?
I saw a few signs on the way...
Like "Caution: Frost" and "Do Not Enter"...
Those are traffic signs, Haruka-neesama...
We turn left on the next turn, right?
Yes, probably.
Wait!
Oh, shall we ask that guy over there for some directions?
About 20 kilometers from here, there's supposedly a hot spring and a hotel that doesn't get many customers during the winter.
Alright, let's go to the hot springs!
Yeah!
What!?
Hey Kana, you didn't tell me that.
What?
I didn't hear anything about hot springs before we left.
Didn't I just say it?
Men's and Women's, which bath are Touma and I supposed to go into?
Does it really matter?
Get in the tub before you get tired of it!
Of course, you idiot!
Feels so nice.
Hot springs sure are great.
I agree, Haruka-neesama.
On top of that, we have it all to ourselves. It's been a while since we had such a luxury.
Even though we got lost on the way, it was well worth it.
In other words, the trip is a great success.
Chiaki, say something funny.
Does that really need my urgent attention?
Whatever, it doesn't really matter.
This is a problem.
You and Kana are the only ones who know that I'm a boy.
I'm in the same situation. Fujioka still thinks I'm a guy.
Wait, I'm not really hiding anything so I should just go into the women's bath.
I-Is that so?
Yup, no problem at all. I'm gonna go in.
Wait, Touma.
What about me? It'll be suspicious that I'm not with everyone.
What do I do?
Shut up. Just think of something on your own.
No! That's not fair!
I really appreciate you driving us here.
Oh, don't mind. I'll relax here a bit, so why don't you go take a bath?
Okay. Then I'll go on ahead.
So what's your relationship with Kana-chan?
Eh?
Let go of me!
No, don't leave me behind!
Whatever, just go back to the room!
Why would you say something like that?
Let go, damn it!
What are you two doing?
Well, uh...
You wanted to get a workout before taking a bath?
Hmm? You're not going to get in the hot spring?
Uh, yeah, not right now.
I get it. I was itching to do something besides being in a bath all day long.
Let's go!
Something to do, eh?
In this season, snow covers everything.
There has to be something, right? Something.
Well, there's a small spring just behind the mountain there.
That sounds great! Some fresh water to cool down a steaming hot body!
Is she serious about drinking spring water in this cold weather?
Is she serious?
Are we there yet, Haruka?
Yeah, probably just a little bit more.
Let me guess, are you the type that can't read maps?
We're not lost.
Are we lost?
My, isn't this a grand spring.
Spring? It flows too much to be a spring.
So it's an overflowing spring!
I see, an overflowing spring.
So it's an overflowing spring?!
No, this is a waterfall.
I'm sorry. I got lost.
I'm so sorry, Haruka-neesama.
So Chiaki gave her the final blow. This is an unexpected development.
Let's go back. It's freezing.
My frozen body's getting nice and warm again.
That's another good thing about it.
Paradise, paradise.
We walked a snowy path and I'm freezing.
I just want to get in the hot spring.
Even so, going in by yourself isn't fair.
So, basically, what's your relationship with Kana-chan?
Let go! I'm gonna go in!
What are you two doing?
The temperature is great. We just got out,o so why don't you go enjoy it, Mako-chan?
Yeah, you're right. If I go now, I could-
Wait, Mako-chan.
Which bath are you planning on going into?
Well, there's no problem going in now...
Of course there's a problem!
What's wrong? You're not going in?
Well, you see-
Alright then. Let's play some table tennis. Table tennis!
Chiaki, here I go.
What's wrong? That was out.
Not yet!
Out!
Serve change to Chiaki.
Home run! One out!
It's just "out", you idiot!
Do those two really want to play?
In any case, I just wanna take a bath.
Here I go, Chiaki.
Okay, Haruka-neesama.
Take... that!
Haruka-neesama, are you going to be serious with me?
Am I the only one who thinks Haruka can't understand what's going on?
Haruka-san sure is good at table tennis.
So, who's next?
It feels so good that it's breathtaking.
It's finished! A hot spring shop.
A hot spring shop! A hot spring shop?
Idiot.
Then why don't you make one, Chiaki?
Does that really need my urgent attention?
Whatever, it doesn't really matter.
Since we've come this far, let's make a solid decision.
It'll work out someway or another.
I'll go in the men's bath, and you the women's bath. Right?
That's right. Good luck.
Well, there are a lot of different types of friends.
Ah, why don't you go take a bath?
So, how about your relationship with Chiaki-chan?
Ah, go take a bath.
Oh, I'm sorry! I made a mistake.
Finally, I can go in.
Fu-Fujioka why?
Oh, Touma. I was surprised.
I thought I went into the men's bath, but Mako-chan was there.
I should apologize later.
I see. Fujioka doesn't know that Makoto is a guy so he assumed this was the men's bath.
I smell trouble. Chiaki and the others are in there right now.
If this continues, Fujioka will be a peeping tom.
Wait, if he casually walks in, he wouldn't be a peeping tom.
What do you call a pervert that walks casually into a women's bath...?
Oh, pervert is the word I'm looking for.
That's not the point. What's should I do?
Fujioka, wait! Wait!
Listen here, Fujioka. There are two different springs here.
So they switch the women's and men's baths on a regular basis so everyone can enjoy both of them.
Is that so?
They're preparing for the switch right now, so the other one will become the men's bath in a little bit.
Really?
I'll go check it out.
Makoto, are you there?
In any case, do something about that hair of yours.
I forgot! Look out, look out!
Nice.
Now if Fujioka comes here, everything will be fine.
You are just a dumb child that coincidentally was bathing.
Right! I'm just a dumb child who coincidentally...
Is the dumb part really necessary?
I'm getting a little dizzy.
I wonder if they sell iced coffee here.
What? You're getting out already?
Two types of baths, huh?
I should check this one out before it changes to the women's bath.
What are you doing, you idiot?
I don't feel like getting out for another hour or so.
Okay, let's call this our home.
Umm, Chiaki?
Hmm?
For example... what are you supposed to call a half naked guy in the women's changing room?
Does that really need my urgent attention?
Why? The other bath...
Two types of Kana switch on a regular basis...
What? Why? Why?
Why?
Since long ago, two types of appetizers, soups and pastas, were served in France.
So the spoon and fork are there so you can choose either, and it doesn't mean you have to use both.
The people who mistakenly used both were the Americans.
The ones who copied them were the Japanese.
It doesn't make it okay that you copied someone, you idiots.
