Minami-ke Okawari Episode 10
Ventile
It's heavy.
We really bought too much.
You just kept putting more stuff into the bag.
Don’t worry about it!
Ouch!
Maki, are you alright?
I fell.
Are you alright?
Ah, I'm fine.
The eggs broke!
Sorry.
That's okay, I'll go and buy more later.
I'll pay you back later.
There's no need for that.
Still, that sure was a strong gust of wind.
The first spring wind, maybe...
Note: In Japan, they give special reference to the first time there's a strong southern wind in spring.
Only for Haruka?
That's not funny.
Please repay me for the eggs.
Ah, no, I'm sorry...
That comedian is so funny!
I know, I know!
Just remembering it makes me want to laugh!
It's that funny?
What do you usually watch, Atsuko?
I...
Oh, she only watches the news!
What?!
There’s no need to be so serious all the time!
What's so interesting about the news anyway?
Umm...
She finds all the things happening in the world interesting.
In the world?
You mean like incidents and accidents?
N-No...
She likes things like regional events and sports.
I'm going to the bathroom for a bit.
Okay.
Let's hear some news that'll make us laugh our heads off when you come back!
Okay...
Huh?
Oh, it's back.
I didn't know you guys had a cat.
No, we don’t.
She just comes by every now and then.
This is the fourth floor.
How does she come all the way up to the veranda?
I guess she's using the elevator?
You're lying!
Yeah, I'm lying.
Right...
That sure was a quick bathroom visit, Atsuko.
Is that the game we're playing now?
Game? What game?
"What game?" you say...
She's going under the kotatsu!
What's the matter?
I might have forgotten my handkerchief.
She came out!
You are so, so lovely, Atsuko!
Is she Atsuko's reincarnation?!
Atsuko isn't dead!
That's my mandarin!
There's no need to be greedy!
Atsuko!
Did you call me?
Wh-What?
I invited you over today because I have something important to tell you.
What is it? What is it?
It's almost spring.
Spring is a source of revitalization for the idiots around us.
Who are these idiots you're talking about?
Isn't she talking about you, Kana-chan?
No, no, it must be you, Maki-chan.
Therefore, we have to practice how to deal with the stupid things these idiots will say and do.
TL Note: Chiaki is talking about 'boke and tsukkomi', a style of Japanese comedy where one comedian will say or do something stupid ('boke'), and will then be corrected or chastised by their partner ('tsukkomi').
I wonder what kind of education Chiaki-chan is getting with the Minami family.
So repeat after me.
Here I go.
O-Okay.
Only one million yen?!
O-Only one million yen?
When will you use that tsukkomi?!
What's that supposed to mean?
That's nonsense!
What's that supposed to mean?
That's nonsense!
Where does a person using a tsukkomi like that come from?
Hey, Maki-chan, this is terrible!
Chiaki and Atsuko have started tsukkomi practice!
I think it's a good thing.
You're right, it's a good thing!
No, no.
Are you okay with this, Maki-chan?
The fact that they're not letting us join in their practice means that we're the idiots!
Is that so?!
Yeah,
Chiaki clearly defines who is or isn't an idiot using folders on her PC.
There's no family folder?
She only has a direct shortcut to Haruka on her desktop!
So there, Chiaki, buy me a PC!
I'm busy right now.
Anyway, Kana-chan,
I got a look at Haruka's groceries just now...
For dinner, we'll be having fried fish and-
Meat...
I want to eat meat!
But we had sukiyaki not too long ago.
That's true...
Yakiniku! I want to eat yakiniku!
Note: Yakiniku is thin slices of grilled beef.
Ah, yakiniku sounds good too!
I wonder if it's done...
It really is tasty!
Let's see now...
Maki-chan, yagen, the yagen is done too!
Note: Yagen is a kind of gristle found near a chicken's breast.
After that... harami!
Note: Harami is a certain part of a cow's belly.
I want to eat harami too!
Hanami is a good idea!
Note: Hanami means flower-watching. It's an event in spring when the sakura trees bloom.
Hanami?
No, no... She said ha-ra-mi.
The sakura are only just budding.
Ah, right!
It's harami!
Note: This is Atsuko's 'tsukkomi' to Chiaki's 'boke' (her mistaking harami for hanami).
It's become like tsubomi, hasn't it?
Note: Tsubomi means bud.
Tsubomi?
Note: Atsuko is now making a pun on 'tsukkomi' and 'tsubomi', poking fun at Chiaki's mistake.
I'm home.
Haruka, welcome back.
Listen to this...
Just now, Chiaki mistook harami and-
Idiot!
Kana, you're going to catch a cold!
So, what happened with Chiaki?
We were talking about how Chiaki wants to go flower-watching.
Flower-watching?
Rather than hanami, it's still more like tsubomi.
Note: Since hanami (花見) means flower-watching and tsubomi (蕾) means bud, tsubo-mi (蕾見) is the resulting pun, meaning bud-watching.
Oh, that's a good one!
That sounds like fun.
It's still cold out, but do you want to go and try?
Haruka-neesama...
I'm so looking forward to it! The harami.
Eh, that's not right, I mean hanami.
This is so tasty!
Since we're going, shall we invite Fuyuki-kun as well?
Good idea!
I'll go there for a bit after we finish eating.
Be careful not to bother him too much.
I doubt he'll go.
Hey!
Fuyuki said he’ll join us.
Okay.
I'll prepare some more then.
By the way, the bath is ready, so why don't you get in?
Alright.
Sounds like fun!
I'll come! I'll come, I'll come!
But isn't it a little early for flower-watching?
Was it Kana-chan's idea again?
Uhh, yeah... something like that.
It sure sounds like her.
You could've told her it was too early.
What are you guys talking about?
They're going to go flower-watching.
It's not even the right season yet.
You call that flower-watching?!
I guess you don't.
That's silly!
I'm looking forward to the yakiniku!
You're not going to go flower-watching?
We can do both. Flower-watching and yakiniku!
I guess that's true.
What are you talking about?
Hey there!
Hey there...
We were talking about going flower-watching.
Flower-watching?
It's a little early, but...
So come flower-watching with us!
I don't know why I should...
... as I already have plans...
What?! Something more important than flower-watching?!
Umm... my bugs...
People like you should just sleep for the rest of your life, wrapped in your silly bugs!
Fujioka!
Are you free tomorrow?
Tomorrow?
Let's see...
Tomorrow... Yep, I'm free!
Alright, then come over!
Okay.
I don't really understand, but I'll tag along!
You're a good man!
What's going on?
Good morning, gentlemen!
As you already know, getting a good spot is vital,
and I don't even have to mention shopping!
As such, I will assign the tasks now!
Huh? What's keeping Makoto?
Now that you mention it, he's not here.
What could he be doing?
He said he'd come.
If it's alright, I'll go and reserve a spot.
I'm with you on that!
I'm with you guys too!
Shopping for snacks and drinks might be more interesting, though.
I'm going to go with that!
What should I do...
Well then, should I go, too?
Okay, you three men will go and get a spot!
The three of us?
What, what? You take too long to decide, people!
Alright, Uchida, you're on the shopping team.
Got it.
Hey, Kana-chan, is it alright to buy lots of snacks?
Erm...
It is nice to meet you.
Yeah...
... nice to meet you.
Alright, let's meet again under the cherry tree in a bit!
Good luck to all of us!
Yeah!
Are you all ready?!
Roger!
Charge!
Hey! You guys!
They're gone...
They sure look happy.
This is why I didn't want to go.
This is why it's so good...
Haruka's home...
It's so relaxing...
I've become kind of tired.
Hey, you two!
What?
Not "what?" Help out a little.
You were the one who said that having just yakiniku would be boring, Maki.
Okay, okay, I'll help.
I'm sorry.
Here's an apron.
What do you think?
Do I look good?
There's no way I look good in clothes like this.
You can't help it if Kana told you to wear it.
You think?
So, you only just moved here?
Yes.
By the way, what's your relationship with Chiaki?
It's all stuff we don't need.
It was really cheap!
See? I'm so good at shopping that I surprise myself!
Go and put it back!
Nah, it might just come in handy...
Cat food?
You're going to eat cat food while flower-watching?
Hey!
Look look!
If you collect them all, you can build a house!
Don't you think that's amazing?
There's only one part in each box?
That's kinda stingy.
Stop fooling around, you two!
I'm sorry.
Are you alright, Maki?
Did you hurt yourself?
I'm fine.
Here, use this.
Thanks.
Huh?
I wonder if that's Kana and the others?
Coming!
Yes?
Oh.
Yo!
Hayami-senpai!
You're going to go flower-watching, right?
Let me join!
Here, some drinks!
What about here?
It's alright, isn't it?
The view is good...
And there are trash cans, too.
But for these things, we need a girl's opinion.
What do you think, Mako-chan?
Um...
I think it's fine.
Probably.
You think so?
Alright, let's sit here, then!
Men are kind of dim in this department after all, right Touma?
Yeah...
You're right...
What?
You are a girl... right?
I'm sorry, asking strange things like that.
D-D-Do I look like a boy?
Right...
Hey, there's still a lot of juice left!
We have to go meet up with Kana and the others soon.
The lunches, too...
Yeah, yeah, it'll all be just fine.
Ah, no, but...
Okay!
Let's try the Silver Vine special next!
Note: Silver vine is a flowering plant that attracts cats. It's sometimes called catnip.
The Minamis sure are late.
Indeed...
I should've brought my TS.
Yeah...
Hey...
What does TS stand for?
Tandem Screen.
Really?!
Heeey, Touma, Fujioka!
Hey! Over here, over here!
You’re late, Kana!
I doubt that!
I'd say we're first!
Even if we wait all day, I don't think number two will come.
Look, look!
If you collect them all, you can build a house!
What else did you buy?!
Let's see...
This!
Mon petit?
Note: He's reading the label on the tin of cat food.
Anyway, where's Haruka-neesama?
What? She's not here yet?
I think she'll be here soon.
Surely they haven't already started yakiniku by themselves?!
No, I doubt that.
I'll go and have a look.
Hey!
Minami sure has a lot of energy.
Indeed.
Hey! Haruka!
Everyone's waiting already.
Kana-chan, welcome back!
What are you doing?!
You're late, Kana-chan.
We were waiting for you!
Quick! Here, come sit down and drink with me!
It's so good!
Heeeeey, Ka-na-chan!
Let's drink.
Uh... W-Well...
I have to go back and do all kinds of...
You know, talk about what we're going to do after this...
I have to go, so...
... later!
Okay...
Here's some souvenirs!
Thank you.
Three
Note: They are playing a game where you must correctly guess the number of thumbs being held up. Each correct answer allows you to withdraw one hand. Once both of your hands are out, you win.
Five!
Hey!
She's finally back.
Some drinks.
What did you go there for?
Where's Haruka-neesama?
Haruka is...
I was too late!
I'm not following you.
Enough, already.
You're useless.
I'll go.
Ah, yes, take this, Yoshino.
O-Okay.
Chiaki, wait up!
It's juice!
Let's drink.
What kinds are in there?
There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general.
Note: Hosaka is quoting from Sun Tzu's Art of War, Chapter 8.
Recklessness, which leads to destruction.
Cowardice, which leads to capture.
A hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults.
A delicacy of honor, which is sensitive to shame.
Over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble.
If you want to kill a general, kill his horse first.
Isn't he... cold?
Haruka-neesama?
Haruka-neesama, it's about time you-
It's Chiaki-chan!
What is...
Bottoms up!
Thanks.
And then...
... when I gave it back, the funny part was...
... that...
... that he looked this way!
It's weird... It's really weird!
Chiaki! Chiaki!
It's so weird!
I hope someone comes back soon!
It really started to pour down.
So, these are the longest three minutes in the world.
I bought this with my own pocket money, damn you.
I'm home.
Crap.
It suddenly started raining.
What the... You're soaked.
The weather forecast predicted that it would rain today.
I didn't take an umbrella.
Quickly, go and change.
I'll fill the bath.
You have to die here.
You're a human with a meaningless life!
If you want to kill me, then kill me,
your former fiancée.
Why?
Why did you betray the organization?
Answer me!
Hey, with another ten minutes...
Thanks for the meal.
It's delicious!
Get in the bath when you're done.
Chiaki? Chiaki!
What?
Which one... do you want?
It's great!
I'm home.
You’re both eating cup ramen!
It's almost time for dinner!
Ah, this is...
You want some, too?
It's great!
Ohh...
Well, I'll have one too, then!
Sure!
Have you ever had a painful experience with nose gargling?
That's because the density of bodily fluids and water are different.
You'll be fine if you gargle using salty water!
All you have to do is press one side of your nose,
and spit out the water you sucked up through your nose.
Now, you are all freshened up!
Practice makes perfect. Give it your best!
