Tantei Opera Milky Holmes TD - 07

Marine:		Good morning!
Marine:		Producer, good morning.
Marine:		Did something happen?
Manager:	You see...
Elly:		(Cute angry noises)
Sheryl:		Now, now...
Sheryl:		Now, now...
Marine:		W-what...
Manager:	It's been like this from early in the morning.
Manager:	Arguing about putting lemon or not on fried chicken.
Nero:		If you don't like lemon in the chicken, you should have said so from the beginning.
Cordelia:	Normally, wouldn't you ask the others before putting it on?
Nero:		You're wrong.
Nero:		Normally, putting it is a given.
Nero:		If you didn't want to...
Cordelia:	And who decided such a thing? At what hour, what minute, and what second?
Nero:		What was that? You sound like a kid.
Cordelia:	A-a-a-aren't you the one that's sounding like a kid?
Elly:		That's right.
Sheryl:		Now, now. Nero probably lacks the sense of taste. She just thinks that anything that she eats tastes great.
Nero:		Sheryl?
Cordelia:	See, everyone? Nero is the weird one.
Nero:		What did you say?
Cordelia:	What's with you?
Marine:		Please, stop!
Marine:		What will happen if you start fighting over something so stupid?
Nero:		Stupid?
Marine:		In Ganotaara you all made me remember of the importance of bonds with people, so why?
Elly:		Stupid?
Sheryl:		Stupid?
Sheryl:		That's right! This is stupid!
Sheryl:		Cordelia-san, after all, we are Milky Holmes.
Sheryl:		The four of us...
Cordelia:	We're so...
Nero:		I just remembered.
Nero:		Back then, you all forgot about me and came back home, right?
Sheryl:		Well, you see...
Sheryl:		We were careless.
Nero:		How nice to be a pink haired character that would be forgiven for being careless all the time.
Nero:		Someone that's careless again and again and again... wouldn't you say she's actually stupid?
Cordelia:	Nero! You're going a little to far. Even if some of that was true...
Nero:		Don't get so heated up.
Nero:		Blue themed characters are supposed to be cool and firm characters.
Nero:		Although not realizing you were missing a companion makes you a failure as a blue character.
Sign:		Failure as a blue character (More literally, Disqualified as a blue character).
Cordelia:	A failure. I'm a failure. I'm a failure.
Elly:		Nero!
Nero:		Eh? Green?
Nero:		Green characters are...
Nero:		Sorry, I'm not really sure.
Cordelia:	That's too much!
Cordelia:	It's true that it was wrong of us to leave you behind, but you don't have to say that much!
Sheryl:		That's true! Even my airheadness has a limit!
Elly:		Green is... Green is...
Nero:		Eeeh? So everyone is mad.
Nero:		Then what are you gonna do?
Marine:		This can't...
Miki:		Eh? Over such a thing?
Marine:		It would have been better if I didn't butt in.
Marine:		I just made them more angry.
Miki:		But that was in no way your fault, Marine-chan.
Miki:		I really like it, though.
Miki:		Lemon.
Marine:		We're talking about fried chicken here.
Miki:		It goes with everything, doesn't it?
Marine:		I think I also would prefer it with lemon.
Miki:		Right? Right?
Miki:		With this it's three against three!
Marine:		I will try to talk to them again tomorrow!
Miki:		Yay! That's the spirit!
Marine:		Yeah! Thank you, Miki-chan!
Nero:		I really went too far yesterday.
Nero:		Good morning, everyone!
Sheryl:		We're really sorry!
Cordelia:	We were overly selfish!
Elly:		Sorry about yesterday!
Milky Holmes:	Forgive us!
Nero:		Don't worry. It's fine, it's fine.
Nero:		That was just our usual thing.
Nero:		Actually I too...
Sheryl:		Do you mean it?
Elly:		It was just our usual thing?
Cordelia:	You'll forgive us?
Nero:		Y-yeah...
Milky Holmes:	Yay!
Elly:		I'm so glad.
Sheryl:		We're really Milky Holmes!
Cordelia:	The four of us are always good friends. Right?
Nero:		Well, as long as I know that I was more in the wrong than them it's fine.
Nero:		As long as I know...
Nero:		But... actually I also...
Nero:		I also... to everyone...
Pink Fairy:	Nero!
Pink Fairy:	Wake up, Nero.
Pink Fairy:	Wake up, Nero.
Pink Fairy:	Wake up!
Pink Fairy:	Wake up, Nero!
Sheryl:		Wake up, Nero. It's already time for us to go to work.
Sheryl:		Today we need to go to Marine's...
Cordelia:	Geez, Sheryl!
Sheryl:		Nero!
Elly:		We just made up with her too.
Sheryl:		I'm sorry!
Nero:		Me having just woken up from my slumber, but seemingly still lingering in a dream! (She's talking in a really girlish way).
Sheryl:		Me? (Watashi as opposed to Nero's usual Boku. I guess slumber or lingering could work here too if it wasn't for the next one).
Nero:		You say that me referring to me as me is in some way strange? (Ok, this doesn't work at all. Literally: "You're saying that me referring to myself as I is weird?", with "me", "myself" and "I" being all watashi... I'll do what I can).
Nero:		There's no way that's right.
Nero:		Wah, Sheryl! Your pink hair is lovely again today!
Nero:		Just the same color as the flowers in my dream.
Nero:		That's why it seemed to me as if talking to a flower fairy.
Nero:		Look, just like this flower.
Nero:		That's right, Sheryl. May I call you the Wake Up Flower from now on?
Nero:		It's a nice name, like a daydream.
Nero:		Today being such a nice day, one wants to give everyone a magnificent name, right?
Nero:		So? Don't you girls think so too?
Sheryl:		Nero is...
Cordelia:	Broken.
Elly:		So nice.
Marine:		Listen to me.
Marine:		Actually, Miki-chan and I like to put lemon on our fried chicken!
Marine:		With this it's three against three, isn't it?
Nero:		To me, both seem fine.
Marine:		Eh? What?
Nero:		Still, the world of show business is really amazing.
Nero:		Even though it's noon, you still say good morning.
Nero:		But thanks to that, it always feels like you're meeting your partners first thing in the morning. I find that kinda amusing. But I have to wonder, why would it be that you don't say "Good night" when you leave?
Producer:	What happened with her? Did she hit her head?
Sheryl:		W-who knows...
Marine:		What happened to fried chicken?
Marine:		I tried so hard...
Sheryl:		Now, now. Thinking about fried chicken...
Cordelia:	(Shobon, that literally means rejected, down hearted).
Elly:		M-Marine-san. Thank you very much.
Cordelia:	Today you're appearing in a drama, aren't you?
Marine:		Yes. It seems to be about a vampire.
Manager:	That vampire's amazing, right?
Sheryl:		Is she the real thing?
Manager:	Yes. She's the great actress, Tenma Hiroko!
Cordelia:	Could it be? The actress that has risen to the top ten years ago, and that hasn't changed a bit in all this time?
Sheryl:		The eternally 37!
Milky Holmes:	Tenma Hiroko!?
Manager:	You're really knowledgeable.
Cordelia:	I've been looking at her since I was little.
Manager:	Then, do you know the secret to her youth?
Manager:	She gets the blood of young living girls into a bathtub, and bathes into it to steal their youth. (She says shoujo, that could also mean virgin girls, just like in Bathory's story. Maybe maidens would be more accurate).
Sign:		It's kepchup.
Manager:	Just kidding!
Manager:	It's just a rumor, a rumor!
Manager:	It's just an urban legend.
Elly:		But this story looks a lot like another famous vampire story. The story of the bloody countess Elizabeth Bathory.
Cordelia:	If a vampire took the role, she would be perfect for it.
Elly:		Actually, if she became interested in any of the girls she'd work with, she could really...
Nero:		No, no, no, no!
Elly:		So nice.
Marine:		It's dark.
Marine:		Maybe it's not here.
Nero:		Then why don't you go in?
Nero:		If you do you'll know right away!
Manager:	Wa-Nero-san!
Marine:		Don't push us so suddenly.
Sheryl:		Could this be?
Everyone:	Nooooo!
Cordelia:	A flower field! (I'm not sure what she's saying. Sounds like "Hanabatake"、but could be wrong)
Director:	Cut!
Someone:	You can't do that! Coming in during a rehearsal.
Hiroko:		I'm sorry I scared you.
Hiroko:		You're Amagi Marine, aren't you?
Marine:		I'm really sorry!
Hiroko:		I told you it's fine. It was all because I wanted to make a unscheduled rehearsal...
Marine:		Not at all. I'm really sorry we came in without properly checking it out first.
Hiroko:		I'm really sorry I ended up scaring you too.
Hiroko:		Who are those girls?
Marine:		The are the detectives, Milky Holmes. They are my bodyguards.
Hiroko:		Bodyguards?
Signs:		Not of use (I'm missing something here. 役立だず makes no sense to me, so it's probably an expression, but I can't find any info about it, although I can find many mentions to it. It should be related to 役に立つ though, that means "being of use").
Hiroko:		Milky Holmes...
Sheryl:		What an incredible mansion!
Producer:	You're finally awakening!
Sheryl:		Producer-san, why?
Cordelia:	Where are we?
Producer:	This is Tenma-san's mansion.
Cordelia:	Tenma-san's? Why?
Sheryl:		Eh? By the way, Nero's not here.
Elly:		Marine-san isn't either.
Milky Holmes:	Eh? Nero?
Nero:		There's something important I need to tell you all.
Nero:		I'm being adopted by Tenma-san!

Maid:		It suits you.
Nero:		Thank you, Shimojou-san.
Cordelia:	Just because a magnificent mansion, a magnificent garden, and because there's a maid, that doesn't mean she has to stop living with us!
Sheryl:		That's right! Why did she do it?
Producer:	Geez, they thoroughly explained it yesterday.
Producer:	Tenma-san lost a child a long time ago. Thad kid just happens to look a lot like Nero-san.
Producer:	Nero-san agreed to it, and...
Producer:	Wait, you weren't listening at all!
Sheryl:		We just woke up so we were sleepy.
Producer:	Good grief. And there's the Ganotaara incident too. Maybe it was for the best that Nero-san was adopted by Tenma-san.
Girl:		Tenma Hiroko adopted her?
Marine:		Yes.
Marine:		But it looks like the girls couldn't really accept it.
Girl:		But it's strange. I've never heard about Tenma Hiroko ever having a daughter.
Producer:	Tenma Hiroko didn't have a daughter?
Marine:		So it seems. But that would be weird, would it?
Manager:	I just heard about this today too, but it seems like Tenma-san adopted someone else around ten years ago.
Manager:	They seemed to be in a good relationship at first, and they would be seen together at recordings, but then, the kid suddenly disappeared.
Producer:	What's with that? It sounds really unpleasant.
Sheryl:		Is that really true?
Cordelia:	Wouldn't that fit that urban legend from before?
Producer:	An urban legend?
Elly:		Elizabeth Bathory.
Elly:		In order to keep her youth, Tenma-san got that kid and...
Marine:		Then, Nero-san is...
Sheryl:		Let's go! Milky Holmes, dispatch!
Maid:		Even if you're in such a hurry, I can't let you see Nero-sama.
Sheryl:		Why is that?
Cordelia:	I'm sure Nero would want to see us too.
Elly:		Let us see Nero.
Maid:		I told you no once and it's still no.
Maid:		Please, leave.
Marine:		We won't go back!
Maid:		You won't go back?
Sheryl:		That's it. Until we see Nero, we won't move an inch from here!
Nero:		So moving!
Everyone:	Nero!
Nero:		Who would ever think you'd be so eager to see me?
Nero:		I'm willing to go back with you all.
Marine:		Nero-san.
Nero:		But only if you win me in a game!
Poem:		Marine, come.
Everyone:	An Element?
Marine:		Poemy!
Marine:		It was you the one affecting Nero, right?
Poem:		Now, thanks for waiting. The last act is already over us.
Poem:		You already know the rules. If you give a good answer, you'll be given a cushion.
Poem:		The one that gathers ten cushions is the winner.
Sheryl:		Wait, why are we dressed like this?
Nero:		Don't ask stupid questions!
Hiroko:		Now, for our riddle.
Hiroko:		For the first subject let's go with crosswalks.
Nero:		Me!
Hiroko		Yes, Nero-san? That was fast!
Nero:		About crossing a crosswalk and the shout of joy of your tripulation in a ship. (I'm not Japanese enough for this episode, really)
Hiroko:		And its core is? (Literally, its heart.
Nero:		An island! An island! Stripes! It's about stripes! (TLN: Shima=Island. Shimashima=Stripes).
Hiroko:		That's good, certainly. Crosswalks are all about stripes, right?
Hiroko:		Give her one cushion please.
Maid:		Yes!
Hiroko:		Now, for our lest question...
Sheryl:		Me! Me! Me! Mememememe!
Hiroko:		Once is enough.
Sheryl:		Me!
Cordelia:	Sheyrl, will you be all right?
Sheryl:		Yeah!
Hiroko: 	Of what happens when you cross a crosswalk?
Sheryl:		When you raise your hand, answering with crosswalks is a given!
Maid:		That's my line.
Left sign:	Traffic safety
Right sign:	Adult
		This image is probably a joke with the fact that oudan is an orange that used to be worn by royalty (just like purple in Europe), and that crosswalk=oudanhodou. Hodou could either mean walkway or guidance.
Hiroko:		Then, let's keep them coming.
Hiroko:		About the agitation after a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders.
Nero:		Me!
Cordelia:	Could it be...
Hiroko:		When there's not enough people at a party.
Nero:		Me!
Hiroko:		Progress underway?
Nero:		Meee!
Cordelia:	How can this be. She's throwing all those risky puns one after another, making everyone laugh. I feel sorry for those that can't hear them.
Cordelia:	Wait. If this goes on, our loss is certain! (Sign: certain).
Hiroko:		Let's see.
Hiroko:		Now, for the next theme, let's go with card games.
Marine:		Me!
Hiroko:		Yes, Marine-san?
Marine:		About playing card games, and gravure idols.
Hiroko:		And its core?
Marine:		A hot body and buddy! (A reference to buddyfight?)
Cordelia:	Marine-san! When did you learn something like this?
Marine:		During the time I couldn't sing, I was shifting around plenty of variety shows.
Marine:		It may have been something I didn't want to do, but I'll be sure to take Nero-san back with this power!
Hiroko:		So, for the next one...
Marine&Nero:	Me!
Marine&Nero:	Me!
Marine&Nero:	Me!
Cordelia:	Their high level retorts made them shine fiercely.
Sheryl:		And finally they reached the final scene.
Nero:		Let's settle it with the next one!
Hiroko:		So for the next one.
Hiroko:		Of the world of business.
Marine:		I definitely, definitely, won't lose!
Marine&Nero:	Me!
Hiroko:		M-Marine-san was faster.
Marine:		The business world, and the love of a mother.
Hiroko:		And its core?
Marine:		That they will undoubtedly forever remain unchanged.
Hiroko:		Three cushions.
Elly:		She has ten cushions!
Sheryl:		It's Marine-san's victory!
Nero:		It can't be. Even though I had with me the power of the element that conveys words...
Sheryl:		Nero! Nero!
Cordelia:	Wake up, Nero!
Elly:		Nero!
Everyone:	Nerooo!
Sheryl:		Nero, I'm so glad!
Cordelia:	We were really worried!
Marine:		Poemy. Why did you go into Nero-san?
Poem:		You see...
Nero:		I'm sorry.
Everyone:	Eh?
Nero:		I've wanted to apologize to everyone about our fight.
Nero:		But you beat me to it, and I became unable to say it.
Nero:		I'm really sorry!
Elly:		Nero.
Cordelia:	We really are...
Sheryl:		such good friends!
Marine:		Because there were things she couldn't convey, right?
Marine:		Welcome back, Poemy.
Girl:		So in the end she didn't adopt her.
Marine:		Yes. And that was true.
Girl:		That?
Marine:		Tenma Hiroko didn't have a daughter.
Everyone:	It was a son!?
Producer:	Yeah. It seems that Nero-san resembled a lot this boy here.
Nero:		So you're telling me I really looked like a boy?
Elly:		Then, the kid she adopted before...
Producer:	That was...
Everyone:	Shimojou-san?
Hiroko:		Looking back at it, I was completely wrong.
Hiroko:		Even though it's been so long since I lost Tsutomu, I never properly faced you.
Hiroko:		I'm sorry.
Maid:		You didn't do anything wrong.
Maid:		It was me that canceled the adoption process.
Hiroko:		That was also because you were thinking of me.
Hiroko:		Please, let's begin again.
Hiroko:		As mother and kid.
Hiroko:		You're my genuine child, and not someone's substitute.
Maid:		Mother!
Nero:		Nothing beats saying what you think, does it?
Sheryl:		That's true.
Cordelia:	Then, allow me to. Nero really has a bad mouth.
Sheryl:		She eats too much too.
Cordelia:	Could that be because she's a yellow character?
Elly:		I think she should be a little bit more girly.
Sheryl:		She has a long way ahead.
Cordelia:	She doesn't have any breast either.
Elly:		She may if she pours honey over herself.
Nero:		You are all being too sincere!
Sheryl:		But it was Nero who said it was good to be.
Nero:		I did, but you're only saying bad things!
