Minami-ke ~Okawari~ (Episode 5) "Can't put away a bowl that's already out"
Translation by Toyu-chama
Where's Haruka-neesama?
She left saying something about a promise she made with Maki-chan.
So, what are you doing?
I just got a little hungry...
I don't think you'll find food where you're looking.
Sometimes there's great food that people hide in places like this, just waiting to be found.
Oh, here's some.
What is that?
Not sure. I think I've seen this box before.
Really...
Or not.
Which is it?
Well, that doesn't matter.
This is probably... something really great!
It won't open!
Just give up.
I won't give up.
You lump of greed.
You're still just a child. This aggravation is the source of my power to open it.
What? No, no, no, no.
But man, this is too hard.
Help me.
What happened to your miracle?
Please show me the power of your greed.
Like I would stoop so low to join some idiotic game.
Ask someone else.
I see. So it won't bother you if you don't see what's inside this treasure box?
Nope. Not at all.
I see. I can have it all to myself?
A treasure, huh? Maybe it's pictures of Chiaki taking a bath when she was small.
Man, this thing's pretty stubborn.
Hey, hold it down properly.
It's really stuck.
That hurt.
I hit my head pretty hard...
I hurt my butt, you idiot.
So what kind of treasure was inside?
Huh?
What is it? What's inside?
It was a...
What was that noise?
What happened?
I stepped on... something.
What the hell is this?
What was it again?
You don't remember anything about it?
Well, this glass rabbit... as I thought, I can't remember a thing.
Maybe it's yours.
Nah.
Well, it's not mine. That means...
What's wrong? Did the curse of the treasure box cause you to have some terminal illness?
T-That's... Haruka's.
You sure? What if it's a gift from someone?
I'm certain. On top of that, she's kept it safe since she was little.
The ear is broken off.
Don't say it! This is some kind of mistake!
That's right, a dream! A dream in the middle of the day, it has to be!
Please let this be a dream!
What the hell are you doing, you little twerp?!
This is no time for dreaming. What are you going to do about this?
Ow... What should we do?
In the first place, this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tried to pry it open.
Just so you know, you're just as guilty as I am.
Why? You're the one that-
We're in a pickle... We aren't going to be let off with just a lecture.
That's because you-
Man... Haruka would probably be depressed. That would hurt more than being lectured.
Right?
Yeah. I'll help.
Okay.
We'll begin.
You... Are you being serious?
It's just putting the ear back on, right?
Give me some silence.
I can do it. I... can do it if I try.
*Gulp*
Hey.
I broke off its other ear too.
Lately, you haven't held back against your big sister.
Stop! It was a mistake to let you do this. Hand it over. I'll do it!
I can't let you do that!
Why are you letting your competitive nature control you?
Ah... the tail came off...
W-What are you doing?
It's because you wouldn't let go!
It's so unlikely to sneeze at such a crucial moment!
Damn it! Now it's stuck on my hand!
Hey, don't pull on it so hard!
But it won't come off!
I'll rip it off for you...
The neck broke...
Hello? Fujioka? I want you to look for something. It's an emergency.
Listen carefully, Keiko. Don't get it wrong. It's a cute bunny.
That's right Yoshino! What? Uchida? Geez, either one is fine!
Find that carrot eater!
Makoto! It's that thing with the carrots!
Run! Touma!
Sorry for asking you to come out on your precious Sunday.
No, no, I would have been lying around at home anyway.
Anyways, did you choose yet?
None of them look that bad...
I understand how you feel. When you start worrying like that, you get stuck in an endless loop.
Yep. Yep.
It'd be nice if we found something nice by the end of the day.
Huh?
Rabbit... Rabbit...
Rabbit...
Fujioka-kun.
Ah, hello there.
Looking for something?
Kind of. A rabbit, to be exact.
A rabbit?
Umm, I'm in a hurry, so goodbye.
A rabbit...
... wait, this is a general store, isn't it?
He didn't mistake it for a pet shop, right?
That's it, "rabbit" reminds me.
I'll catch up to you later; could I meet you at your house?
Huh?
I have something nice in store for you.
Okay. I'll call you later.
I see.
Minami Haruka loves rabbits.
However, catching a rabbit will take some time.
I shouldn't attend school for a while.
You've given me a perfect chance, Minami Haruka.
Hey there, young man. Could I have a word with you?
I wonder who that is...
You're not allowed to look.
They're late...
No phone call yet?
Where the hell are they looking?
When is Haruka-neesama supposed to be back?
Isn't it taking too long?
No, perhaps it's still too early?
Still not here?
Are you alright?
I'm not alright!
Hello?
You still don’t have it?
I'm looking for it right now.
Ju... hurry up an... get the rab... already.
What was that?
Sorry, the reception is kinda bad here.
Bring th... amn rab...!
Eel?
Note: Usagi is rabbit. Unagi is eel.
So an eel is fine?
Hurry up... nd bri... it over!
Right, got it!
An eel... but where?
Kana? Sorry, I just missed it.
Seems like it moved.
I want it! Look for it. I desperately need it.
Okay, I'll look around.
Yep, I found it Kana-chan. I've almost got it.
Alright. You seem to be the closest one. Keep up the pace.
Okay, I'll do my best.
Kana, I won! I won, Kana!
You need to try harder!
What? I'm running like you told me to.
Alright, don't waste any time.
Leave it to me.
Why am I... running?
We'll have a new one here soon.
Are you sure you have this under control?
Leave it to me.
I'm home.
What?! She's come home already!
Welcome home. You're really early... really.
Welcome home.
I had something I wanted to give to Maki, so I came by to pick it up.
Oh? What is it?
It's a necklace with a glass rabbit on it.
Don't you know about it?
This is bad. What should we do?
We have to rely on Uchida and the others.
Really?
Yeah.
The only thing we can do until they get here...
... is to buy some time.
Right.
Is something the matter?
Oh, uh, no, nothing.
Haruka-neesama, that glass necklace is the one with the rabbit?
Yeah, yeah. Did you see it?
Really? Where was it?
I remember leaving it in the kitchen.
Well, well, let's leave small talk for later.
You just got home, so first you should have some tea.
O-Okay.
I'll go prepare the tea.
Okay, thank you.
Ah, you're welcome.
So, what did you buy?
Well, it turns out that one of Maki's relatives is having a birthday, and we were looking for a present.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but we couldn't find anything nice, so I decided that we should find something we already have at home.
Chiaki, are you okay?
I-It was nothing.
My, Chiaki's so clumsy.
Ah, it's here!
What? It's here?
Who's here?
Kana-chan, I finally got it!
Good work, and with no time to spare, too. Alright, alright, alright, alright!
I spent 2000 yen on this.
Good work, one day I'll pay it back times 10,000.
It's pretty cute. It’s the thing that likes carrots.
Oh, how adorable. Welcome, Uchida-san.
Hi, there.
Get it right, you idiot.
Why?
Was that all she came by for?
Well, she's busy today.
Yes, it has to be in the kitchen. I just know it.
Chiaki? What's wrong? Sitting in a place like this.
Oh, so it begins.
What does?
Her training. Training.
What do you mean by training?
Umm, Kana?
She's heightening her concentration because she has tests soon.
Don't you remember? They were saying on TV that the kitchen is the best place to increase your concentration.
Is that so?
That might be from Maki.
I'll go get it.
Umm, really? Then I'll leave it to you.
Haruka-neesama.
What is it?
Maybe you left the present in your room.
What? Though... I guess it doesn't hurt to look.
I have a question.
If you were going to eat it, would getting a fresh one be better?
They say that it's hard to find fresh ones, but I got some good information on it.
Supposedly, this remote place is crawling with them, waiting to be fished.
I'll try my best to get a big one.
Huh? Minami?
Yes? This is Minami.
I found one but...
Seriously?
Yeah.
He said he can't leave yet since he's still on the job.
What should we do?
It's amazing Kana. I can't stop winning.
What in the hell are you doing?
Because every single one I get wins me another one...
But wait, what am I supposed to do with this one?
Uh, you know, I haven't stopped running yet. How much more do you want...
... me to run?
Run until you find one!
Find one?
Find what...?
I'm sorry about before. I'll get something cuter this time.
Okay, Kana-chan?
Huh? Kana-chan? Hello? Hello?
It's not over there either...
Wasn't that call from Maki?
It was a phone call from Uchida. She said "it was good seeing you earlier."
She's such a well-mannered girl.
Yep, strangely enough. She does have those qualities. Sometimes.
However, I'm glad it wasn't from Maki.
I can't tell her that I can't find it.
I-I agree.
Since it's not in my room, it has to be in the kitchen.
Alright, excuse me for a moment.
All I can do now is to handle this personally.
I wonder where I put it.
Haruka-neesama.
What is it?
Why don't you rest for a bit?
Yeah, I want to, but...
Chiaki.
I'm off.
Got it.
Are you going somewhere?
Just for a while.
Don't stay out too late, okay?
Okay.
Keep training for my sake as well.
Understood.
Concentrating the mind. Concentrating the mind.
Oh, hello there.
It's Fuyuki.
Hey, hey. Do you happen to have a rabbit necklace?
The kind made of glass.
A rabbit necklace, you say?
I don't think I do.
Thought so.
Bye then!
Goodbye.
Chiaki.
Yes, Haruka-neesama?
I'm sorry to bother you during your training, but...
... can I search in the drawer behind you?
Yes, Haruka-neesama?
I'll get it, so you can train a bit more.
Hello. This is the Minami residence.
Oh, Keiko-san.
Huh? Why are you apologizing?
Yes... A rabbit?
Umm, could you wait for a moment, please?
Chiaki.
What is this about a "rabbit?"
Hey.
That's...
Not here, either...
My knees hurt...
Snow...
I'll go home.
I'm home.
Chiaki, what are you...
I heard the whole story.
Aren't you going to get that?
I'll get it.
Kana-chan, look, look! It's a Horse!
I-I... I-I... g-got a w-winner...
I brought it, Minami.
You asked everyone to find it, right?
I'm not really mad because you broke this.
You understand, right?
I'm so sorry!
Have you ever found ice cream from the far depths of your freezer?
It's completely frosted over, and you start doubting if you can even eat it.
But that’s okay! There's no expiration date for ice cream!
But eating it early will make it seem tastier.
Oh, and you should eat all the ice cream if it starts thawing.
