Minami-ke ~Okawari~ (Episode 3) "A Night of Entertainment, Take it Outside"
Translation by Toyu-chama
It's cold! It's cold!
Jeez, you're full of complaints this morning.
What's wrong with saying that it's cold when it actually is cold outside?
You think saying it makes you feel any warmer?
Okay then, I'll be sure to make a warm snack for you two.
After all, my classes are over by noon today.
What?! No fair! No fair! Why just for you?! No fair!
Well, even if you say that, I...
I've made up my mind. I'm going home at noon today too.
I can't stand being at school all day long.
You're free to do whatever you want.
Hey, stop ignoring me!
Hmm? Someone moving in?
That's right. Today, someone is going to move in next door.
Really...
This is such an insensitive school.
Don't say that like it's a good thing.
There's no way we can do this.
Even though winter break just ended, we've suddenly been given this massive amount of homework.
I guess to train the idiots, quantity is better than quality when it comes to study.
Man, this just makes me hate studying even more.
Did you not understand what I just said?
Sorry, about what?
In any case, this sure is a lot.
In times like this, we have to gather everyone's strength.
Alone, it's a problem, but as a team, we'll be able to do it.
Yeah, that sounds nice.
That means we go to the usual place to study!
Do you mean my place?
Yep!
Chiaki's house is so relaxing.
You're coming just to relax?
There seems to be a lot so maybe I should prepare for a sleepover.
Stop making all the decisions by yourself.
I guess it's settled.
We'll be done in no time if everyone works together.
Don't decide on things I haven't allowed yet. Wait, we're doing this today?
Thanks, Minami.
Now then, shall I go home?
That sounds good. The club activities are a bit of a pain.
Sounds like a lot of work.
What are you going to do when you get home? Cleaning? Laundry?
First, I need to... do laundry, I think.
So crabs?
Oysters are great during this season too!
But I think the most basic would be chicken. So how about it?
What are you talking about?
The one happiness of winter has to be nabe!
Note: Nabe is a big pot of boiled vegetables and a variety of seafood and meats.
That does sound nice.
Gather up all the secret ingredients, turn off the lights, and drop them into the pot all at once!
Whatever you pick out, whether it be food or a rag, you gotta eat it!
That's a little...
C'mon, let's have a nabe party next time.
Okay, shall we do it?
Sounds like a good idea.
Nabe, huh?
Minami Haruka loves nabe?
Nabe stands between me and Minami Haruka.
That means both of us will be drenched in sweat.
I will wipe the sweat off of Minami Haruka... and then she will wipe my sweat!
You'll... catch a cold.
Disgusting.
Our next door neighbor seems to be very busy moving in.
Why is life so unfair?
Oh, hello there.
Nice to meet you, I am Minami.
Ah, no, no, it is a pleasure to meet you as well.
Hey!
That hurt, you know.
Your fault for ignoring me.
I can't play with you guys today.
I got a bunch of homework.
Really? Class 1 got a lot of homework too?
You mean Class 2 did too?
You come too.
What?
For some reason, it has been decided that we're going to do all the homework at my house.
You come too.
Are you sure I can go too?
The more the merrier.
Don't get sidetracked. We're doing homework.
Bring your pajamas. We're having a sleepover.
Don't misunderstand. Our objective is homework.
Ah, right.
Oh, I have something nice to tell you.
There's a new transfer student coming.
Is it a guy or a girl? Which class?
Don't know.
You're a useless person. If you're going to tell me something, do some research on it first.
How cold...
Thank you for the meal.
That was so delicious.
That was a nice Zenzai!
And so, it looks like we're all going to do our homework together.
Really? Sounds fun to do homework together with your friends.
Yes, even if the decision was forced upon me.
So, may I invite four or five friends?
What? Here?
At our home?!
They'll be bringing their pajamas here too.
So does that mean they'll be sleeping over? That's fine.
Thank you very much, Haruka-neesama.
A sleepover with all your friends...
It's like a pajama party.
N-No, this is for homework.
Chiaki, pajama parties are celebrated in which country?
I don't think it's something to celebrate like a festival.
When are you doing this pajama festival?
It will be today.
Today?
That's a little too sudden, isn't it?
Yeah.
At least a week is needed to prepare a festival!
It's not a festival. We're just doing our homework together.
But you know, Haruka, as the host family, we have to be careful.
H-Host family?
I'll do my best to make it as fun as-
Umm, in the end, am I even allowed to invite them over?
I don't mind.
Looks like we'll have to prepare a few things then.
It's okay, Kana. Just sit here.
Ah, but the prepara-
Don't get involved with anything we do today.
Why not?
I don't feel like being swung around by your weird imagination.
I'll be supervising this festival! If the guests are unhappy, then the Minami name shall be dishonored!
I told you, it's not a festival! It's just meant for homework!
I have an idea. Let's have nabe for dinner, since there will be a lot of guests.
Nabe sounds great! We'll all surround the nabe as a family.
Alright, I'll produce the cooking as well.
I'm going to go shopping, so look after everything here, okay?
Haruka-neesama, have a safe journey.
Nabe... as a family...
Alright, I have to prepare the entertainment for our gue-
Did someone move in next door?
Yeah.
I wonder what kind of people they are.
Who knows?
Aren't you interested?
Not really.
That's such a cold way of saying it...
You know, you're gonna meet them a lot from now on.
Don't you think you should at least greet them?
If you think so, then you should do it yourself.
It's too much of a hassle.
You know, greeting new neighbors is a job for the oldest in the house, so it's Haruka's job.
Now that you say that much, you're starting to sound a little irresponsible.
What if they came over to greet us while we were talking like this?
Good evening.
Evenin'.
So it's these guys...
I got worked up for nothing.
What?
Don't worry. Come in.
Hi there.
What? Mako-chan?
Huh?
Why are you here?
Come with me for a bit.
It's not that I don't understand how you feel, but...
... don't you think those clothes are a little strange together?
Uh... Right.
You have to keep "TPO" in mind.
Note: "TPO" stands for "Time, Place, and Occasion."
Wait... was it "PTO"?
I'm home.
Hey, what did she want?
Something about the PTA.
What do you mean?
No clue.
This is so relaxing...
I wonder why Chiaki's house is so cozy.
Right?
Is this supposed to be another world for them to make themselves at home?
Just a little longer.
I'm so hungry...
Hey! You don't have time to lie around like that.
What?
C'mon, change into your pajamas.
It's still 5 o'clock.
What are you talking about?
The festival has already begun.
What do you mean by festival?
You know the festival type festival.
Yay, and a yay...
I'm home.
...and a yay. Oh, the catering has arrived.
I met them on the way and asked them to help me carry these.
Hi there.
Sorry for the delay.
Thank you, I'll get right on the preparations.
I'll help you, Haruka-san.
Wait.
Why the hell are you here?
I was invited...
By whom?
I invited him.
Huh? Fujioka has nothing to do with your festival.
But tonight we're having nabe.
Are you the type of person that gets invited for nabe often?
Well, I don't think so.
Chiaki, what's going on?
One thing led to another, and Kana's stupidity wouldn't end.
She's even got a futon ready.
It's to early, huh?
She's always doing unnecessary things.
Maybe Kana-chan wants to join us.
If she wants to, she'll forcefully do so.
I'm here. Wait a sec, why are you guys changed already?
There's even a futon ready.
If you don't change soon, she's gonna get mad.
I see that everyone is here.
What's up Touma? Why aren't you in your pajamas?
I didn't bring any pajamas...
You have to follow the dress code, sir.
Wait, stop! Stop!
Stop that, you sexually harassing alien!
Why are you so concerned with everyone being in pajamas?
Because, we're the host family, and we're here to entertain them.
Could it be that you can't honestly say that you want to join because it's your little sister's slumber party?
I can join in?
I can?
So it's okay?
Fine.
Then let me say this. Wearing pajamas at 5 o'clock is too early, even if this is supposed to be a slumber party.
You!
So the rice bowls are... Oh, are these it?
Yeah, please use the ones there.
Yes, ma'am.
How about these?
Please.
What is it?
Nabe...
We took the nabe to the table already.
Let's start our feast on the nabe.
I'll be your host during this feast.
Everyone, enjoy yourselves!
First of all, have the meat and fish. Be careful, you two.
Hey! What are you doing!?
If we cook it all at once, it'll still be the same.
No! My idealistic nabe!
Chiaki.
Yes?
Let's put the garlic chives and the chrysanthemum in too, okay?
Okay...
Let's eat!
It's so delicious.
Yes?
Yes, yes? Oh.
I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night.
I am your new neighbor. I have come bearing good will and greetings.
My name is Fuyuki.
My, such nice manners. Nice to meet you.
A new guy?
You're heavy.
We've been meaning to greet you all.
He's the eldest son, huh?
My father had asked me to meet you in person.
You're heavy!
He's a pretty well-mannered boy. Right, Chiaki?
It's about time to get off me, idiot.
Umm, this is nothing special but...
Oh my... thank you very much for going to such lengths.
My senses say it's sweet bean jelly.
It's gotta be a towel or soap.
Get the hell off already, idiot!
Tackle!
Did you have guests?
Yes, mostly the children of this home.
Oh, if you haven't had any dinner yet, why don't you join us?
Ah, no. I must decline. My father has already started cooking.
C'mon, just eat.
No, really. Don't mind me. Sorry to disturb you.
Hey, Haruka, was he the eldest son?
He said that it's only him and his father next door.
Oh, really? Seems like pretty a nice guy.
Is that so?
Ah, am I full.
Stop that. It's disgraceful. Fujioka-kun can see you.
How admirable. You were a perfect host, Haruka.
She's not listening...
Don't do anything unnecessary. Everyone's here to do their homework.
It's not something unnecessary! It's called entertaining!
Ow... my eyes...
Hey, you shouldn't get pulled around by Kana, okay? She'll do unnecessary things.
Why are you lecturing just me?
Say that to everyone.
You're the biggest problem!
Why?!
Wanna switch places?
Yeah.
You know...
Yes?
Nah, it's okay.
You...
Yes?
You look a lot like Mako-chan.
You think so?
Are those four in the bath together?
Did we have a bathtub that big?
That tub's size can fit three people at most.
Size...
I really want a bigger tub to relax in.
Want...
Fighting over who gets to take a bath first.
Fight...
Size... want... fight?
Hmm?
Size... want... fight...
Size... want...
I got an idea!
I will entertain them with milk!
They'll surely be glad I served them milk.
Haruka, what does it mean to entertain?
It's to serve without being asked!
She's not giving me any time to think.
We have to make better arrangements for them somehow.
And so, I'm going to go reheat the bath water.
But it's already nice and warm...
Hey! Use this brand new soap!
What!?
Oh my, you're all naked.
There's a perverted man here!
Get the hell out!
I wonder who's the most grown up among you four.
I heated up the bathtub. I gave them a taste of the milk of jealousy.
Here you go. Some hot cocoa.
Thank you.
Things are getting lively around here.
Yeah.
Oh, Uchida, you got out first.
Want some milk?
I'd love some.
One more please!
You're gonna get a tummy ache.
Oh, Chiaki, how about some milk?
What are you guys doing?
That was so hot. I'm so thirsty.
Isn't there something to drink around here?
Oh, is that some milk?
Wait, don't you have any fruit milk?
Go to bed.
What was that?
I probably should get going.
Right, people who aren't in pajamas should go home.
Umm, right.
Does anyone have a secret crush?
Do you have one?
The night begins now! There's still more to come!
Cut it out.
From here on in, it's adults only.
Children aren't allowed in.
What are you basing that on?
"What"...
It's a matter of if you have any or not.
I won't accept this! Touma's a guy, isn't he?!
Why?! I'm a girl!
You're a guy!
What is it?
Again?! Get the hell off me!
Well, she's more of a girl than Chiaki is.
Shut up!
Hurry up and go to sleep!
What are you talking about? The pajama festival is about to begin!
Everyone, it's about time to wake up.
Man, that was a wonderful festival.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
I want to do it again.
Is that so? Maybe when the idiot is gone.
Why you...
So, did everyone get their homework done?
Can you say all the seven herbs of Autumn?
Hagi, Susuki, Kudzu, Nadeshiko, Ominaeshi, Fujibakama, Kikyo.
You eat the seven herbs of Spring in hopes of good health,
but you eat the seven herbs of Autumn while experiencing the end of a significant period of your life.
There aren't many colorful plants included, but this tradition sounds pretty nice.
