(at the museum)
(Mari) I think I sorta got late…
(mp) Don’t worry. I just came myself.
(actually, I came here 30 minutes in advance…)
(Mari) I was preparing o-bentou, that’s why I’m late.
(mp) Huh?
O-bentou.
I’d love to have some…
(mp) We’ll sit at the bench and eat, OK?
(Mari) Yeah. I’ll have snack, don’t worry about me.
(Mari) Just forgot. There should be a café at the museum.
(mp) Er…Don’t you have a spare helping?
(Mari) No, I don’t.
(mp) I-I see…
Well, anyways, sorry that I asked so suddenly.
(Mari) Your eyes are in tears.
(mp) *sobbing* No, idz nod like thad ad all…
Something got into my eye…
(mp)(only one helping…How sad…)
(Mari) I’ll share my lunch with you if you don’t mind.
(Mari) But it’s only a sandwich with some vegetables.
(TL NOTE.
basically she brought this –
http://recipe.gourmet.yahoo.co.jp/T005262/
Bread – 2 slices
Some butter
Lettuce
Cucumber half
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Cheese
Sweet pepper
Kombu
Chicken breast – 40g.
Some salt
Eggs
Cookies – 3 pcs.
Cooking oil
Cabbage
Lettuce
Pepper
Peppermint (a little)
Parsley
Radish
This makes it around half a kilo. But there’s only 40g of meat. Not much)
(mp) I can’t. This is your lunch, after all.
(Mari) I’ll be fine with a half of it.
Mp, don’t be shy, eat.
(mp) Thank you.
I’ll take a small portion.
(mp) OK, the dinner is on me then.
(mp)(too bad I was stupid enough to come without o-bentou myself…)
(mp)(but on the other hand it was very nice to share lunch with Mari-chan…)
-
(Mari) OK, let’s get going.
(mp) But Mari-chan…
(mp) Are you sure you’ll be fine with this exhibition? Today it’s “Tokyo Buddha images.”
(Mari) Yes, it’s just what I need.
(Mari) You like simplicity, don’t you?
(mp) Keep it simple, stupid, as they say.
But what worries me, will I be able to understand the meaning of Buddha?
(Mari) I’m no better myself.
I don’t know a thing about paintings or statues.
(mp) Is that so?
(mp) I thought you’re a pro.
(Mari) No, I just had free time today so I thought I’d give it a look.
(mp) OK, it’s fine then.
Let’s enjoy the exhibition.
(Mari) Agreed.
(Mari) Actually I didn’t know what I should do at first. What if you were a specialist in painting and sculpture?
(Mari) I hate it when people try to explain to me the things I didn’t see myself.
(mp) OK then, let’s look at them together.
-
(Mari) Good paintings.
It was interesting.
(mp) Glad you liked it.
OK, see you next time.
(Mari) Sure.
Good bye.
-
Saturday, Apr 7.
Sakura is in the bloom.
Mari thanks us for the date. She enjoyed the museum.
But she says that Buddha is a place for soul so it’s better to keep it in temples, not museums.
Meahwhile we have a bonus picture.
-
Finally, we go to Dream Club.
(mp) Mari-chan, you eat only rice?
(mp) I think you lack life forces.
(Mari) I don’t eat rice.
I only eat to stay alive.
(mp) That won’t do! You need to eat properly.
(mp) I can treat you with yaki-niku (roasted beef).
(Mari) I don’t eat meat. I’m herbivorous.
(mp) Ah, I see…
(mp) But maybe we could go to a vegetarian restaurant instead?
(Mari) I can go to a tonkatsu snackbar.
(tonkatsu= pork cutlet)
(mp) Huh?
But cutlets are made of meat, after all.
(Mari) You can eat cabbage as much as you like there.
(mp) Ah, I see…
Do you like cabbage?
(Mari) I parasitize like an insect.
(mp) An insect…
(mp) Anyways you mean you like cabbage, don’t you?
(mp) I’ll try to find a good place where you can eat cabbage…
(mp)(if only one could find it that easily…)
-
ETS.
(Mari) Sakura’s in bloom.
(mp) And it’s warm outside.
I can feel the spring coming.
(mp) By the way, Mari-chan, do you go to hanami?
(Mari) Yeah…sometimes.
(mp) W-will you go to hanami with me?
(Mari) No.
(mp) I-I see.
Perhaps I’m dull.
(Mari) I can go see sakura myself. But you can stay near me.
(mp) Eh? What do you mean?
(Mari) I’ll see sakura petals falling and I’ll catch a quick glimpse of spring.
(Mari) And you will return my soul that melts away in spring back into my body.
(mp) You mean I can go to hanami with you?
(Mari) I said that in the beginning.
(mp) Geez, it’s way too hard to get what you mean.
(Mari) You’ll help me with hanami.
(mp) Don’t worry. Anything for you.
(mp)(like it or not but we go on a date)
-
nikorai:

Friday, 13.
Dating.
(Mari) Sakura is beautiful.
(mp) Awesome. It’s in full bloom.
(Mari) You should be attentive.
Hanami is started before sakura petals fall.
(mp) Haha, don’t worry. They shouldn’t fall so quickly.
(Mari) What are you talking about?
They are already falling.
(Mari) Today I came here to burn the view of petals falling one by one in my memory.
(mp) I-I suppose so…
(she’s overenthusiastic today…)
(Mari) Shall we take a sit?
OK, let’s start our hanami.
(Mari) And you’ll catch my soul that is going to part my body.
(mp) OK. I don’t know how it’s done but I’ll try to.
(Mari) Ahem.
(mp)(Mari-chan is stuck to one place looking at sakura)
(mp)(but how am I supposed to catch her soul?)
(Mari) *sleeping* *snoring*
(mp) Eh? Hello? Mari-chan?
(Mari) *sleeping*
Yayks!
(mp) Ah, sorry. Did I wake you up?
(Mari) Thank you, mp.
You came just in time. My soul was about to fly away.
(mp) You mean that to send the soul flying means to take a nap?
(Mari) This is not a mere nap.
The sleep in spring is completely different.
(lit. “of different quality”)
(Mari) It’s so pleasant that the soul is ready to fly to the world of spring.
(Mari) That’s why it should be caught before it’ll be impossible to return it.
(mp) So, if you fall asleep I can readily wake you up?
(Mari) That’s right.
(mp) OK, I got you!
(mp) Wherever your soul will go I’m ready to catch it.
(Mari) I was right to take you with me.
(Mari) Now I can appreciate cherry blossoms.
(mp) I’m glad for you.
I’m glad that I was useful.
(Mari) *sleeping*
(mp) Well, well…She’s sleeping again.
(mp)(but her sleeping face is so cute…I will leave her like that for a while…)
-
(mp) Mari-chan, Mari-chan…
(Mari) Mmm…
(mp) Did you wake up?
(Mari) I became one with the spring.
(Mari) I felt every single sakura petal with my soul.
(mp) I guessed that.
(Mari) Thank you for going with me.
(Mari) I could fully enjoy hanami.
(mp) Same here. I could relax today.
(mp)(I was very well-at-ease…)
(mp)(OK, it’s time to go. Mari-chan looks satisfied)
-
Saturday, April 14.
Mari texts that she’s really happy with hanami.
Meanwhile we get a bonus picture.

April 14, continued.
Dream Club.
ETS.
Story dialog.
“I need a new mike”
(Mari) I need a new mike.
(mp) M? A microphone? For concerts ?
(Mari) Ah, forget it. I’m speaking to myself.
(mp) I really worry about what you say to yourself.
(mp) If I were to hear something like that in metro or such I’d chuckle.
(Mari) I need a mike.
I don’t see what’s funny in that.
(mp) Y-you’re right…
(mp) I just wanted to joke that you’re talking to yourself.
(mp) It’s a pity…
(mp)(what does she need it for?)
(mp)(maybe I should give her one as a present?)
-
(seeing off)
(Mari) Do you have some spare time?
(mp) I have enough spare time to sink a battleship.
If I’m not with you I come home and go to bed.
(Mari) So, will you go out with me?
I feel like having some tea.
(mp) Is that a date?
(Mari) You can say so.
(mp) Of course I’ll go with you.
(mp) No sane person will miss the chance to drink tea with Mari-chan.
(mp)(yyyesss! I would never imagine Mari will ask me out herself…)
(mp)(maybe I mean something to her?)
-
(at the café)
(TL NOTE. I go at the café for the first time. Other girls usually go to Dream Bar)
(Mari) It’s my first time here. But I think this café is wonderful.
(mp) You’re right.
I like such places myself.
(mp) It’s very cozy.
(Mari) I asked girls at the club about it.
(mp) Huh? You were looking for a café just for me?
(Mari) Who falls in love first, loses.
(mp) Eh? Falls in…what do you mean?
(mp)(is it a confession?)
(mp)(does she really have such feelings toward me?)
(Mari) Actually I only came here for a tea once…But it’s love from the first sight.
(mp) Ah, you mean tea, not me…
(she puts it so that you can’t really guess…)
(Mari) It’s…raining outside.
Let’s go before it starts to pour.
(mp) It should be over soon.
I’m a man of good weather.
(mp) I bet it should stop raining soon.
(Mari) And I’m a rain woman. I bet it’ll start to pour.
(mp) Let’s wager.
We’ll see how it turns in an hour.
(Mari) Interesting…
OK, let’s wait here…
-
(*it’s still raining*)
(Mari) Well, I guessed right. It’s pouring.
Ah, I should’ve invited you some other day.
(mp) Not really.
I’m really happy with our date.
(Mari) Is that so? OK then, good-bye.
See you next time.
(mp) OK, see you.
(mp)(I guess we became closer, if only a little…)
-
Monday, April 16.
Mari sends a message. Says that it stopped raining and now it’s nice to walk outside.
Then, she still needs a mike. But she feels sorry she said it out loud.
Meanwhile we go shopping.
The mike is available for 15k. Of course we get it.
We also take a bottle for champagne for 35k yen. In a week or two we’re supposed to have a birthday party. And this should come in handy as a present.
I’m low on funds again but there should be enough for Dream Club.
-
Saturday, April 21.
Dream Club.
We give a mike.
(Mari) *blushes* Oh...That’s what I needed.
You know what to give, mp.
-
(mp) Mari, what booze would you suggest?
(Mari) We got some specialty here, it’s Magma cocktail.
(Mari) Aka “A messenger from hell”. I like it a lot.
(mp) Magma cocktail. I see what you like.
(mp) Judging from the name it should be something strong.
(TL NOTE. This is the strongest cocktail in the club. Setsu, for example, passes out after making just 5 drops)
(Mari) Yeah, it’s quite strong.
One glass is your load.
(mp) Yeah, an alcoholic should know such things.
I’ll be sure to taste it.
-
ETS.
(Mari) I don’t hate your voice.
(mp) Really?
(mp) Actually, it’s the first time somebody compliments on my voice. I feel I blushed.
(Mari) Don’t you want to…sing?
(mp) It’d be interesting to try to.
But where?
(Mari) In Bloody Maririn.
Where else?
(mp) But it’s your band.
(Mari) Let’s sing together…with me.
Please take my offer. You’ll be in my band.
(mp) Well, I don’t mind.
But you said it so suddenly, I’m confused, actually.
(Mari) I’ll give you time to think it over.
Tell me when you’re ready.
(mp) OK, I’ll think about it.
-
(time is up)

April, 23.
Mari writes. “WANTED: a person with clear voice is needed for a band called Bloody Maririn. The vacancy is only open to mp.”
But we have to work in the supermarket. Of course I’d prefer the casino but I need some cash right away. This week we can’t possibly miss Dream Club because of money shortage.
-
Saturday, April 28.
Dream Club.
Today is a cosplay day.
Mari’s in a bunny suit. By the way, now we share a sofa with her.
“May, 4th”
(mp) It’s May, 4th next week. You’ve got a birthday!
(Mari) Yeah…Somehow I forgot about it.
(Mari) But how do you know?
(mp) Mio told me.
(mp) Mari-chan, it’s a bit early but still, Happy Birthday to you!
(Mari) I’m a year older yet again…
(mp) I have a present as well!
(Mari) Is it for me?
I’m sorry you had trouble to get that.
But I’m glad.
(mp)(that’s nice…She was happy with my present)
(Mari) How old do I look?
(mp) Huh? And how old?
(Mari) It’s me asking.
(mp) You look really young. You’re hardly 20.
(mp) So now you’re 21?
(Mari) Missed. I’ll be 22.
So you won’t get a bonus from me.
(mp) Huh? And what if I did guess? What would be the bonus?
(Mari) It’s a secret…*blushes*
(mp) OK, then. From now on I’ll visit you more often!
(Mari) More often?
Do it on your own risk.
(TL NOTE. There’s a sort of a pun in the original. Mp says “I’ll do my best to visit you more often” but the expression literally means “to stake one’s life”
命懸け
(mp) OK, I’ll risk.
(mp) Once again, happy birthday!
-
(Mari) People are creatures that can’t go against the fate.
(Mari) Do you believe in the black thread of fate?
(mp) W-wait.
What’s that black thread about?
(mp) Wasn’t it supposed to be a red one?
(Mari) But it looks black to me.
(Mari) A man and a woman who have the relation of master and servant find themselves tied by a black thread…
(mp) Wait, master and servant, is it some sort of BDSM thing?
(Mari) Yes…
I see a black thread between us.
(Mari) So, do you believe in it?
(mp) Well, if you say so.
(mp) If it’s my fate then I’d gladly be your slave.
(Mari) Good boy.
But you’re brave indeed.
(mp)(geez, why did I say I believe in this shit…)
(mp)(I think I’m a complete mazo…)

(extension)
(mp) I didn’t expect to see you in a bunny suit at all.
(Mari) It was an order from above to put on the suits to celebrate the Golden Week. There’s nothing I can do about that.
(mp) Ah, you’re right. May is just around the corner.
(mp) But you didn’t feel like wearing this costume at all, did you?
(Mari) Rabbits are immolated at the altar.
And I’m not a sacrifice.
(mp) Huh? At an altar? What kind of altar?
(Mari) You don’t want to know. It’s for your own good.
(mp) Uh…OK, let’s pretend I didn’t hear anything.
(Mari) Pyon…
(mp) Excuse me?
(Mari) I just tried to say it.
(mp) Ah…I see.
(mp) But you know…You have such pale skin. When you’re in a bunny suit you look like a fairy.
(Mari) When I was in junior school I was taking care of rabbits there.
(Mari) I heard that rabbits die if they feel lonely. So I slept near their cage for 3 days and 3 nights.
(Mari) I remember how I was crunching carrot with them. It was quite good.
(mp) Mari-chan, it’s really like a rabbit.
(mp) If you ever feel lonely I’ll also stay near you for 3 days and 3 nights!
(Mari) I don’t mind. Will you feed me with carrot?
(mp) Eh? Why carrot?
(Mari) When one feels lonely he should crunch carrot.
(mp) I donno what one really needs to crunch. But I’d be happy if you treated me with your hand-made food.
(Mari) OK, you’ll eat chopped carrot then.
(mp) Is that what you call hand-made food?
-
ETS.
Story dialog.
“I’m not sure about the vocals”
(mp) Listen, Mari-chan.
I’m about the vocals, we were talking about it lately…
(Mari) Did you make up your mind?
(mp) N-no…Not at all.
(mp) Are you sure we can make a good band?
(mp) Don’t you have other musicians? What will they say?
(Mari) Don’t worry.
(Mari) Bloody Maririn was originally a duet.
(Mari) The vocals were on my elder brother.
(Mari) Now he’s far away…But in my heart he’s always near me.
(mp) Far away…
Can it be…that he passed away?
(Mari) …No, why. He’s alive.
He’s just travelling.
(Mari) But…your voice is just like my brother’s.
Maybe you’re his reincarnation.
(mp) Excuse me?
(mp)(if he’s alive…why the heck would I be his reincarnation?)
(mp)(to put it simple, she just needs a substitute for her brother because he went on a trip)
(Mari) You can’t make a decision after all…
(mp) I’m going crazy with you.
Can I give my answer later?
(Mari) OK, I’ll give you more time.
(mp)(geez, what am I supposed to do, now?)
-
(time is up. Today we talked a lot)
