YuYuYui - Washio Sumi no shou - 3E

A fun time - 1

[Athletic course]

Son: Waah~! This place looks like out of a video game~! Wasshi, Mino-san~! Over here~!

Sum: Fufu, Sonocchi, you're in a good mood. Today is our first time at the athletic course Gin dreamed about.

Gin: Ooh! A Hero's gotta clear every attraction.

Sum: Clear? Is it a kind of chestnut?(*1)

Gin: Just in case, was that an attempt at a joke? I don't think there are any walking chestnuts though.

Sum: ...?

Son: Ah~! This is what a trip feels like~! Bentos taste so good after exercising~.

Gin: Oh? That's not a comment I'd have expected from you.

Sum: You're right... Usually, she would start eating directly and move on to taking a nap...

Son: Ehehe. Maybe the old me would have, but not anymore~. I moved on from sweet, I am now bitter~.

Gin: Well said, Sonoko. Now you're a real man.

Sum: I'll be going on ahead, Gin.

Gin: Ah, she left without a tsukkomi, wait, Sumi!

Son: Hey, where do we start? What do we do first~?

Gin: Not too fast, Sonoko. The difficulty level is pretty high. In video games terms, is about 2 or 3.

Sum: Nino-san? The famous ninja, or the steeplejack name?

Son: Wah, that sounds so difficult~.

Gin: It's okay! You can do it if you stay calm!

Son: Right! I-I'll do my best~!

Sum: Why are you ignoring me?

Gin: Ehe, payback for earlier. Let's go, Sonoko, Sumi! We're starting!

Son: Oh~!

Sum: W-...Wait... Jeez, I don't understand foreign words...

Note 1: Zenkuri, from zen(all) and kuri(clear), is used in video game contexts, kuri means chestnut.


A fun time - 2

[Athletic course]

Son: Awawa, i-it's shaking~! It's shaking~!

Sum: Sonocchi, don't go to the edge of a suspended bridge. Quickly traverse it in the middle.

Son: It's easy to say~, but it doesn't stop shaking~!

Gin: Ehe, first~!

Son: Hyah~, you two are too fast~, wait for me~!

Gin: What's wrong Sonoko? Where's that enthusiasm?

Sum: Sonocchi, keep this up.

Son: Wa, wawa... W-Why does it shake so much~?

Gin: Do your best! You can do it! Come on, Sonoko~, one foot~, and the other~♪.(*1)

Son: Uh~, I feel like you're making fun of me~.

Sum: No Sonocchi, Gin is surprisingly correct. Take the rope with both hands, then slowly advance...

Son: Wasshi... Y-Yeah! I'll try it~.

Gin/Sum: One stop at a time♪. One step at a time♪.

Son: Just... a little... almost... there... Uh~... Eiii!

Son: Go-Goal~!

Gin: Good girl, you did great.

Son: Uuh~, I wanna be able to do it alongside you next time~.

Sum: ...

Gin: What're you doing, Sumi?

Sum: Seeing you so close, I thought why not me.

Gin: Are you a dog?

Son: Wasshi wants you to pat her head too. You're good, Mino-san.

Gin: So you're a spoiled kid. There there.

Sum: ...

Gin: You really are a dog, I swear! So cute~, there there~!

Son: Aah~, Mino-san, me too, me too~!

Gin: Wahaha, I see. I really have a beauty in each hand, hahaha!

Sum: ...Gin, you sound like an old man.

Note 1: "Anyo wa jouzu", translated as "good walking", said to kids who are learning to walk.


A fun time - 3

[Park]

Son: Haa~, we cleared the course, it's time for the long-awaited bento~!

Sum: Yes. It's about time as well, let's have lunch. Gin! The mat! Lay out the room!

Gin: The ground sheet you mean. I got it, like your giant book instructed!

Son: T-This is what you lay to eat bentos on a trip... It's my first time on one of these with friends~!

Gin: Ehe, Sonoko... You can... dive if you want.

Son: Really!? Yaay~!

Son: Haaa~! I can feel the lawn through the sheet~!

Gin: ...What I see is a normally quiet dog waving his tail when he's at maximum excitement.

Sum: What a coincidence, so do I.

Gin: Let's dig in under the blue sky!

Sum: In my enthusiasm, I ended up cooking too much... Feel free to take some.

Gin: Ooh... Like during Sports Day... And that's osechi, jeez.

Son: Waah~, you really are good at cooking Wasshi~. I'll help myself then, thank you for the food~.

Sum: How... is it...?

Son: ... ...! ...! ~~!

Sum: So-Sonocchi!? Are you okay!? Y-You didn't like it!?

Gin: It looks like her mouth is so full she can't talk, but judging by that ecstatic expression and the tears, it's good.

Son: Nom nom... Gulp... Ha~! It's delicious... So delicious, Wasshi! It's happiness~!

Sum: R-Really? In fact, um... I-I'm quite proud of it.

Son: I see~! I love this~!

Sum: Fufu... This is great...

Gin: Look at that newly married couple. I'll take some too. Munch...! Delish!

Sum: I'm glad you like it too.

Gin: Yeah, this is so good~. What a fantastic wife you'll make~.

Sum: You're sounding like an old man again, Gin.

Son: But it really is delicious~. Can even I make it~?

Sum: It's not that difficult, even you can surely do it.

Son: For real~? Then I want you to teach me some time~.

Sum: Yes, of course.

Gin: Oh, sounds good. Let's open a Sumi classroom when we get back from the trip!
