Good day, Onee-sama.

Onee-sama!
お姉さま　今日　調理実習だったんです
We baked something in class today, Onee-sama.
お姉さま
Onee-sama!

躾けていいと言った手前 [right side of bubble]
It still sounds so weird to me...
やっぱり 「お姉さま」 とか慣れません
I know I agreed to try to abide by the culture here better, but I just can't get used to the idea of saying "Onee-sama."
(しっしっ sfx: shoo shoo) [by Noriko's hand]
志摩子さんは志摩子さんだもん
You'll always be Shimako-san to me.
あらでも
But consider this:

私の事を「お姉さま」 と呼べるのは乃梨子だけなのよ
You're the only one in this entire school who /can/ refer to me as Onee-sama.
それって　とても素敵な事だと思わない？
And doesn't the thought of that just make you feel wonderful?

ごきげんようお姉さま
Good afternoon, Onee-sama.
あらあら [next to Shimako's head]
That's lovely, Shimako.
お姉さま　今日　小テストだったんです
Look how I did on this test we had today, Onee-sama.
何か乃梨子ちゃんイキイキしてる
Noriko sure is looking chipper today, isn't she?
テストの点数報告してどうすんのよ
Why's she presenting her test like that to her though?
オカンかよ [writing on edge of bubble]
She's not your mom, Noriko...

乃梨子は　私を庇ってくれただけです　罰があるなら全て　私が引き受けましょう

志摩子さん！
Shimako-san!

いいえ　罰なら私に……
If anyone's to be punished, then I—
もういいのよ乃梨子　これは私の罪だもの
Absolutely not, Noriko. I bear all the blame.

ですからこの私に罰を！
So let me receive my punishment!

いいえ！是非　私に！
No, punish me instead!

Roger!
ブラジャー。 [above the other person's head on the left]
Bra-jer! [Brassiere and "roger" rhyme naturally in JP, but in English, if we change the spelling, it can too, because 'broger' would probably be mispronounced when reading. It's pretty silly in both languages regardless.]
もっと責めてよ由乃さん！！
Get angry with me, Yoshino-san!

陸上部のくせに役立たずって怒ってよ！
I'm supposed to be a member of the track team!
哀れみを受けるくらいなら責めてもらった方がよっぼど楽だわ！
Yell at me! Call me useless! Anything other than having to take your pity!

ていうか むしろ罰して　由乃さん！
I deserve to be punished! Punish me, Yoshino-san!

どうして志摩子さんは瞳子ちゃんを誘いに行こうと思ったの？
Why did you decide to go invite Touko-chan and Kanako-chan to the party yourself?
(とぼとぼ… sfx: Plod plod) [above Noriko]
どうしてって…
Why you ask?

困ってる乃梨子って萌えるじゃない
Because getting to see Noriko in distress is its own reward.
あと勘。 [left of first bubble in panel]
And it felt like the right decision anyway.
はっ！？
What?!

突き放しといて後で　たっぷり甘えさせてあげるのよ
First I push her away and let the tension build, then I wait for the right moment and pull her in close again.
志摩子さん志摩子さん
Wait, Shimako-san, hold on a sec.

このっ [above Yoshino]
Quit bumping into me, jeez~
あはは [above Noriko]
Hahaha
何すかもー [left of Noriko]
No, you're bumping into me~

This was not part of the plan!!

(ぐしゃあっ sfx: Thud) [bottom-right side, thin letters. Applies to Yoshino]
(ぐしゃ 愚者　sfx: Oaf/Bonk/Clod) [with the thick letters and the little kanji pun reading. Applies to Noriko. Untranslatable Japanese pun for hitting the ground with your face in the sfx of an insult to yourself]

If you're wondering where Shimako is, she and Yumi stepped out together for a tinkle.

I'm sorry. [I'm not sure why this bubble in particular the author felt needed to be labeled as Shimako's 「志」]

さ　行こう
Let's keep going.

気をつけて
Watch your footing.

何か書いてある
There's something written here.

[13]

C'mon, who's gonna fall for that? Nobody's going to troop right on into such an obvious trap without a second thou...

Noriko, did you say something?
え？だから大丈夫？って…
Yeah, I was asking you if you were okay...

この声は貴女にしか届いていないわ
You are the only one hearing this voice.

Shimako-san? Where are you going?!
(だっ sfx: Dash) [bottom-right]

(ぱかっ sfx: Plunk)

ｼｬﾛﾝ ストーン [Ｓｈａｒｏｎ　Stone: So here's a ridiculous pun sfx　("suto—n") that goes from a dropping sound to the actress' name Sharon Stone because of the small katakana letters above the main part. I spent a lot of time thinking about this and the best I came up with was:
1. A pun on Sigourney Weaver as "Ｔｒａｐｄｏｏｒ—ney Weaver", so the 'Trapdoor' part is a noun-type sfx with the small part following. They're from a similar era, of similar levels of fame. Dsr has seen the Alien movies as indicated by their twitter, cause they're a film nerd.
2. Best alternative I have is "Shima-later" (see you later), cause it's related and silly I dunno, but it gets rid of the film nerd aspect of dsr.
Or,
3. We pretend we never saw a thing and just make it a regular sfx like 'Drop' or 'Plunge'.

えぇえーっ！？
Oh Nooooo!!!

志摩子さーんどこに居るのー？
Shimako-san! Where have you gone? Shimako-saaan?!

っかしーなぁ同じ穴を通って来たはずだけど
That's weird. I dropped down through the same hole she did...
(フフフ sfx: Tee-hee-hee) [next to Touko-bat]
白薔薇さまトロいから　また別の穴に落ちたわよ
That's because she fell down another hole. Not too bright, that Rosa Gigantea.

もういっぺん言ってみろコラァ！
Wanna try saying that again, punk?? Go on, I'm waiting!!
ひーっ！！
Eeeeeeeeek!!

先刻の問いの答えを
Perhaps then you've had enough time now...
聞かせていただけるかしら？
to come up with an answer to my question.

[18]
で？妹にするの？しないの？
Will you or will you not be taking that girl as your little sister?

ひいい…
eep...
自分で判断なさい
This is something that you must come to your own decision on.

[19]
でもっ白薔薇のつぼみとしての重圧がかかると知りながら
But how can I decide, knowing the burden I'd be placing on her by making her my little sister?
乃梨子を妹にするかなんて決められません
Forcing her to take the position of Rosa Gigantea en bouton?

ああ　そうそれならね
Ah, for that I may offer a proposal.

山百合会か乃梨子ちゃん
This could all be easily resolved if you were to sever your ties with one side or the other.
どちらか切り捨てれば解決するわ
With either the Yamayuri Council, or with Noriko.

（屋内庭園 writing: Underground garden） [in between the last and second-last panels]

切り捨てる…ですって？
Sever... my ties?
(ズザザザザザー sfx: SLIIIIDE—)
(キキッ sfx: screech)
ちょっとまったぁー！！

I know a way we can get out of this situation right now!

I mustn't burden you with the weight of it!

重みがわからない私なら
The rosary is just a decoration to me.
きっと　肩凝らないよ！
I know its weight will not wear on me.

しばらく私に貸すと思ってさ
You could take it off just for a while,

(ピシピシ sfx: Crack Crack)

ロザリオ外して軽くなっても
and consider it as letting me borrow it...
いいんじゃない？
and by doing so, taking some of the weight off yourself.

かけてもいいのね？
It's all right if I put this on you then?
(おおお　ああ sfx: Uuuooooohhhh—) [This is overlapping the next sfx]
(ごもごもごも sfx: Growl growl)
(ごもっとも not-an-sfx: I dare say) [bottom right corner. This one's weird. It goes from above, the gomo-gomo sfx of muffled sounds/speech, to an unrelated word 'gomottomo,' an overly formal phrase like 'quite right' or 'indeed' (typical dsr humor here)]

早く！！
Hurry!!

How strange...

こんなにスベったのにちっとも寒くないの
This is so incomplete, and yet I'm not worried at all. [riff on the last line of the episode that's hard to reflect easily in English "I'm soaking wet, and yet I don't feel cold at all."]

[Postscript]
Hello, my name is Mori! Thank you for reading my book!

This past April I got hooked onto Marimite, so it was only 3 months ago at the time of writing this postscript. I really wanted to make a NoriShima doujinshi, but reading through it now I realized that I didn't include much in the way of anything really yuri.
There are some sections that don't even have both of them in it. I wanted to at least make a yuri cover page for the second half of the book but that didn't even happen.
The last story starts out of nowhere and just ends abruptly, but I swear I really couldn't come up with an ending.
Truly unacceptable.

I believe my next release will be next summer Comiket at the latest. I'd like to make up for the shortcomings in this book and make the next one more yuri. I'd like to write something including Arima Nana and maybe some Tsutako×Shouko in the next one if possible.

See you in the next life.
