Hanayui no Shou 20-4E

A ban on foreign languages - 4

[Hero Club room]

Mit: I mean, the story you just told us is about why you use English, not about why you learned it, right?

Uta: Ah, that. I guess I also need to tell you the real reason why I learned it.

Yuu: What, is that different? Please tell us!

Uta: In the Christian Era, Japan was a popular tourist spot. And even in Suwa there were plenty of foreign tourists.

Uta: When I walked by them on the streets and heard them chatting in their own languages, I thought... It was so cool!

Tou/Sum: ...Huh?

Uta: That language sounded like a song. And I wanted to be able to speak that language too, because my name has the kanji for "song" in it!

Tam: Just for a pun!?

Uta: English is pretty [rhythmical], so I thought it would be a good [match] for my [pop] personality. And after that...

Uta: The moment I saw a foreigner, I rushed at them and actively began talking, [mastering] English as a result.

Chi: W-What a pain you must've been...

Uta: And thanks to that, I became cool and earned the title of the fields' [fashion leader]!

Tou: T-The real reason was... You thought it was cool?

Sum: Utano-san... Your fine adds up to a total of 3100 yen.

Uta: Eeeh!? This isn't what you said just now! [Why, why, whyyy!?]

Tou: How outrageous for you to be charmed by the West! You're a disgrace, both as a Japanese citizen and as a Hero!

Sum: And to discipline your feeble mind, I sentence you to a fine!

Its: When did this turn into a court listening...

Mit: Waaaah... It's all me and my big mouth... Utanon, forgive me.

Gin: Sumi, cut it out already. You love some Western things too, you know?

Sum: Gin, what are you talking about!? There's no way I could ever... Ah!

Tou: ...Aaah! C-Could you possibly mean... [Ge-Ge-Ge]...

Tou/Sum: [Gelato]!

Son: Waah! Mino-san's attack turned the Wasshis to stone!

Fuu: Utano... Those two have those fits occasionally, so don't pay them any attention.

Uta: I understand. Sounds like a lot of trouble. Ahaha.

SON: Wasshi, if you tried speaking English, maybe you would look so cool Yuuyu would fall in love with you all over again.

Tou: Eh!?

Yuu: Aah, Tougou-san speaking English would be so fresh! I want to see that! It would be so lovely!

Sek: Something like [You are the loveliest person I have ever met]?

Uta: Whoa! That was so awesome! What does that mean!? What did you say!?

Its: Eh? Utano-san didn't understand that?..

Mit: Utanon can't actually speak it properly... Ahaha.

Yuu: But English really is cool! You gave me a real shock.

Tou: Uuugh... A-Ai...

Sek: Hm?

Tou: Rabu yu!

Fuu/Kar/Sum: Love!?

Tou: Argh! I can't!

Yuu: Waaaah! Tougou-san, stay with me!

Uta: [English] is the best!
