Shiho Lesson Talk [Girls meet meat] Part 1
Tumblr media
Shiho: Yikes. I totally overslept…not surprising, I couldn’t sleep at all…
Tumblr media
Shiho: Ah, the rest of them are already here. Well, of course they are.
Shiho: I hope they won’t be too mad…who am I kidding, Maika definitely will be…
Shiho: What do I do? Maybe I can sneak into the circle and pretend I was there the whole time? If I play it cool, I could…
Shiho: …No, that wouldn’t work.
Shiho: Nothing for it. I’ll just have to apologize. I don’t want to ruin the mood. I want today to be fun.
Shiho: So I should make sure to say sorry properly.
Shiho: …Although, I wonder what they’re talking about. I’ll try quietly getting closer so I can hear, first.
Tumblr media
Maika: Nope! That’s too light! Being late to a barbecue is a serious crime, you know.
Shiho: (Exactly as I thought, she’s big mad…)
Maika: I know! For the rest of the day, she has to do whatever we tell her to!
Shiho: (What, like a servant?)
Maika: Yeah! And she has to reply like this: “Your wish is my command, master.”
Shiho: Please, I’m sorry, anything but that.
---
Tumblr media
Maika: Alrighty! Let’s start heading to the barbecue site!
Maika: There’s a supermarket on the way that I want to stop by, though. We’ll stock up on barbecue ingredients there.
Haruna: Before we go, can I run to the restroom real quick?
Maika: Oh, actually, I need to go too. Honoka, Shiho, you two wait here.
Haruna and Maika leave.
Tumblr media
Honoka: That’s an awfully big bag, Shiho. What’s inside?
Shiho: Sketchbook.
Honoka: You brought your sketchbook?
Shiho: I figured I’d draw a picture of everyone. It’ll make a nice souvenir for today.
Honoka: Couldn’t you just take a photo instead of going through all that hassle?
Shiho: A photograph has no soul. A painting is better.
Honoka: Hmm. Well, I guess that’s just how you show your excitement, huh Shiho?
To be continued...in Part 2

With the Bloomball girls being the leads for today, we get to learn a little more about Haruna. Her buddy, Kamei-san, the turtle sure is adorable, I'm glad she could keep him with her ^^ Their group sure is getting closer and closer, its quite nice watching them develop their voice acting skills together, just like how Haruna and Maika's part managed to garner quite the discussion

CUE! Translation: Yuzuha Kujo Lesson Talk [Tuesday Lesson] Story Translation
Tumblr media
Sorry for the possibly long post under the cut, but IMO this story should be read in one sitting.
Part 1
Tumblr media
Yuzuha: "Top 10 Driving Spots You Must Visit"… Heh, sounds fun~
Riko: Isn’t this travel pamphlet interesting? Driving’s really the best.
Yuzuha: Why do you have this?
Riko: I saw these pamphlets when I went into town, so I took one.
Yuzuha: How nice~ I'd like to go somewhere.
Riko: Then do you wanna go somewhere this weekend? I don’t have a car, but I do have my bike.
Yuzuha: Really?
Riko: Of course! I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.
Yuzuha: Yay, let’s go!
Riko: Aaalrighty, where should we go?
Tumblr media
Haruna: (Oh, Yuzuha-chan and Riko-chan are talking about something.)
Riko: Yuzuha, anywhere in particular you wanna go?
Yuzuha: I wanna take a tour of Tokyo.
Haruna: (How rare, they’re talking about going somewhere. Sounds interesting. I’ll eavesdrop for a bit.)
Riko: If you’re talking about sightseeing, then I think you should visit a temple.
Yuzuha: I wanna go over there, to Chenso-ji. [1]
Haruna: (...Huh? What? Chenso-ji?)
Riko: Oh~ That place, huh? Good choice!
Haruna: (R-Riko-chan… You understood that just now?)
Part 2
Tumblr media
Yuzuha: I've never been to Chenso-ji before.
Riko: I see, I see, I think it's a major thing. Surprisingly, there's a lot of people who haven't been there before.
Yuzuha: I wanna go to Chenso-ji!
Riko: Alright, let’s go!
Yuzuha: Yay!
Tumblr media
Haruna: (...The conversation keeps going?!)
Yuzuha: Say, what should we get for lunch?
Riko: Oh~ I know of a good restaurant in that area.
Yuzuha: What is it? Is it Japanese cuisine? Western cuisine?
Riko: It’s ramen. Do you like ramen?
Yuzuha: I like ramen, what kind is it?
Riko: Erm… What was it? Well, the broth’s white and the noodles are thin.
Yuzuha: Oh, I know what you’re talking about! I like that too.
Riko: I totally forgot what it was called.
Haruna: (You guys, it’s tonkotsu ramen! What do I do? Is it too soon to tell them?)
Tumblr media
Yuzuha: Wait, I remember now! Isn’t it called ponkotsu ramen? [2]
Haruna: (Eh!!)
Riko: Oh, yeah, that’s it.
Haruna: (Eeeeeeeeh?!?)
Part 3
Tumblr media
Yuzuha: I’m looking forward to the ponkotsu ramen!
Riko: It’s super delicious!
Haruna: (These guys are going seriously off-track, I should really put a stop to this.)
Riko: Once we finally get to the sightseeing area, should we buy gifts for everyone?
Yuzuha: Good! Let’s buy them gifts! Are there any shops that sell pretty accessories?
Riko: There’s a lot of shops, and they sell a lot of Japanese-styled accessories.
Yuzuha: Theeen, I wanna buy wonderful stationery for everyone as a present! Do you think they’ll be pleased with that?
Riko: I’d think so.
Haruna: (Yuzuha-chan looks really happy!)
Tumblr media
Yuzuha: Okay, let’s buy some stylish lottery sets for everyone! [3]
Haruna: (Lottery?! For all of us?! There’s definitely something wrong here!!)
Riko: I can’t wait for the weekend anymore! Should we just go now?
Haruna: (This is bad, I should go stop them.)
Yuzuha: YES!!
Riko: Go to Senso-ji, eat tonkotsu ramen, and then buy letter sets for everyone! We’re off!
Tumblr media
Haruna: ….Huh?
Yuzuha: Let’s go!
Haruna: Oh… They were communicating properly.
----------
TL Notes
[1] She says チェーンソー which is “chainsaw” (or in this case, チェーンソー寺/chainsaw temple). I decided just to romanize it to better match with Senso-ji.
For context, Yuzuha is a kikokushijo (children of Japanese expatriates who have done their schooling abroad) who has returned from France prior to the main story, but was born in Singapore and has moved from place to place all across the world. Because of this upbringing, she’s multilingual but is prone to making some mistakes as seen in this story. Have I mentioned she’s also filthy, filthy rich
[2] ポンコツ can mean “junk” or something that’s worn out (puns!).
[3] Yuzuha was meaning to say 手紙 (letter) but actually said 毛ガニ (horsehair crab). I wanted to translate this to something similarly ridiculous, so I went with lottery (ty proofreader ri for the suggestion).
Wow guys, a CUE translation not related to Satori! All that aside, this story is hella amusing and chaotic so I had to translate it and share it. Yuzuha is also cute and I’m declaring her my daughter.

Shiho [Deep in the Line of Sight] Part 2
Previously: Part 1
Tumblr media
Shiho: Alright, let’s get started.
Haruna: R-right. Let’s give it our all.
Shiho: Relax. You don’t need to be so stiff.
Haruna: I-I’m not stiff! Who’s stiff? Not me…!
Shiho: I’ve seen boulders less stiff than you right now.
Haruna: I mean, I can’t help feeling nervous…
Shiho: Sure you can. There’s no need to be nervous.
Haruna: That doesn’t mean I can just make it stop…
Shiho: Try posing.
Tumblr media
Haruna: A p-pose? Like this?
Shiho: Not quite. Find one that’s more natural, more you.
Haruna: A pose that’s more “me”…? How about…this?
Shiho: That just looks like you’re spacing out.
Haruna: How’s…this?
Shiho: You look like a soldier. At ease.
Haruna: How about this?
Shiho: Peace signs…what are you, a tourist on vacation? From 15 years ago?
Haruna: Don’t you have a theme or something for this portrait?
Shiho: A theme, hm…I guess if I had to put it in words: “A girl’s delicate sweetness, a flower blooms.”
Haruna: O-oh my…
Tumblr media
Shiho: A spring breeze blows. Memories of bygone days rush through her mind. A girl, lost in a moment as she drifts in the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood.
Shiho: That kind of delicate sweetness, to be exact.
Haruna: That’s so specific!
Shiho: I thought you wanted specific?
Haruna: I did, but not in such an abstract way! I was hoping for more concrete directions on what pose you wanted to see or something.
Haruna: You know, “put your hand like this,” or “make a face like this”.
Shiho: Can do. Let’s see…like this…hand like this…leg like this…
Shiho: Open your mouth like this…your eyes, like this…hm…let’s see?
Haruna: Um…I feel like this pose might be a bit too complicated?
Shiho: I’m inclined to disagree.
Haruna: I don’t know if I can hold this pose for very long…
Shiho: To struggle is the essence of the pursuit of art. You can do it.
Haruna: U-um…
Tumblr media
Shiho: Alright, hold that pose. Don’t you move a muscle…
Haruna: How long do I have to stay like this…?
Shiho: Let’s say two hours to start.
Tumblr media
Haruna: Two hours?!
Shiho: Hey, I said don’t move.
Haruna: I can’t possibly stay still like that for 2 whole hours!
Shiho: If you can promise to get back into the same position, I guess you can take small breaks in between…
Haruna: I can! I promise I can!
Shiho: Fine, but for now let’s go for 10 minutes at least.
Haruna: Oh, alright…
Shiho: I’ll start sketching now.
Haruna: Okay…
Shiho: You don’t have to hold your breath, you know.
Haruna: Okay…
Shiho: You’re allowed to blink, too.
Haruna blinks rapidly.
Haruna: I am?
Shiho: Don’t go overboard, though.
Tumblr media
Haruna: Now I’m just getting confused!
Shiho: Ah. There! Hold that expression.
Haruna: Wha…?
Shiho: The face you made a moment ago. Could you do that again, please?
Haruna: Um, I’m not exactly sure how…
Shiho: There you go. Alright, now stay like that.
Haruna: Ohh…I wish I hadn’t agreed to this…
Phone rings.
Tumblr media
Haruna: Oh, that’s my phone! Manager-san is calling. Hello?
Shiho: Oh come on, stop moving.
Manager: I had something to discuss regarding your schedule, but it can wait if you’re busy?
Haruna: Please…please be a model in my place…
Manager: Wha?
Shiho: Oh, stay like that, Haruna. Stay exactly like that…
Tumblr media

With Maika, Shiho and Honoka being selected for continuous roles, its no surprise Haruna ended up with the role as a side character (Student A). Nice of her to join the other three, forming the first quartet named Flower Ah, and an idol project, it sounds exciting~! We get to hear one backstory, Yuuki's, before sparks fly between her group due to her's, Airi's and Yuzuha's answers. To be fair, Yuzuha did have a good answer, but of course, Chisa's was the most normal. Great to see that they're forming the second quartet in this episode, as Chun*4 in Project Vogel, and as AiRBLUE's unit Bird All in all, this seems like an ok adaptation so far~

Shiho [Deep in the Line of Sight] Part 1
Tumblr media
Haruna: Shiho-chan, would you like me to carry some of those?
Shiho: Whatever for?
Tumblr media
Haruna: Um…well, you seem to be struggling with them?
Shiho: False, I do not seem to be struggling. I simply…am struggling.
Haruna: Okay, then let me carry some of your bags.
Shiho: But why?
Haruna: Er…
Shiho: Everything in these shopping bags is stuff I wanted to buy. It’s already very gracious of you to accompany me at all.
Haruna: Um, sure…
Shiho: You took time out of your day off to come with me.
Haruna: Okay…?
Shiho: All while I was buying stuff for art, which you have absolutely zero interest in.
Haruna: Um, I wouldn’t put it like that…
Shiho: You’ve done more than enough for me today. I can’t possibly let you trouble yourself further and carry some of this.
Haruna: I really wouldn’t mind…
Shiho: My pride will not allow it.
Haruna: Okay, if you’re sure…but still, there’s one thing I want to make sure you understand.
Shiho: And what would that be?
Haruna: It’s true that I’m not really into all this art stuff, but I still had fun today!
Shiho: How could you possibly have fun with something you’re not interested in?
Tumblr media
Haruna: I got to see a world I knew nothing about! Plus, you looked like you were having a lot of fun yourself.
Shiho: I believe I was feeling quite normal, actually.
Haruna: Not at all! I could tell you were excited. Anyone would be if they love painting as much as you do, Shiho-chan.
Shiho: It’s not just painting, to be precise. I’m interested in all forms of that which we call art.
Haruna: Of course, of course.
Shiho: I make sculptures and other 3-dimensional pieces as well.
Haruna: But today, everything you bought was for painting, right?
Shiho: Indeed. My feelings ebb and flow like the waves on the shore.
Haruna: I see…
Shiho: At the moment, I’ve been particularly focused on portrait paintings.
Haruna: Oh, like the Mona Lisa?
Shiho:  Well. That’s definitely an example, sure.
Haruna: That one was by…Picasso, right?
Shiho: …No. It was Leonardo da Vinci.
Haruna: Right, right! Dang, I was close!
Shiho: No you were not.
Tumblr media
Haruna: What about the one where the guy’s screaming with his hands to his face like this?
Shiho: The Scream. By Edvard Munch.
Haruna: To be honest, I really don’t know much about paintings.
Shiho: You did struggle to name two of the most famous artists just now. Even laypeople generally know those two.
Haruna: Maybe you could help me learn more about art sometime?
Shiho: Very well. But might I ask for a favour in return?
Haruna: What kind of favour?
Shiho: Can I get you to model for a painting?
Haruna: What?!
Shiho: I’ve been wanting to paint a portrait of you. I think it would make for a very soft and tender painting.
Haruna: No, wait, I…I could never!
Shiho: Whyever not?
Tumblr media
Haruna: I mean…it’s embarrassing…
Shiho: There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Haruna: But…
Shiho: Please? I’ll even let you use it for your funeral portraits.
Haruna: Um, that’s not really something I’m worried about yet… Okay, I’ll do it, but on one condition, if that’s okay…
Shiho: And that is?
Haruna: Can you…make sure the curtain’s shut properly when we’re doing it?
Shiho: What curtain?
Haruna: And, um…is it okay if I keep the clothes that are…below my waist?
Tumblr media
Shiho: Now wait one second. What exactly are you imagining here?
Haruna: Huh? I mean…you asked me to model for a portrait painting, right?
Shiho: I didn’t mean a nude portrait.
Haruna: O-Oh, is that so?
Shiho: Where did you even get that idea?
Haruna: I don’t know, I guess I just assumed that that’s what modeling for a painting meant…
Shiho: That is very much not the case…
Haruna: I see that now! What a relief…
Shiho: I mean, if you wanted to do a nude portrait that’s fine too…
Haruna: N-nope, no thank you! I’ll pass, thank you very much!
Shiho: Then yes, you can keep all your clothes on. Will you do it, then?
Haruna: If you’re sure I’ll be a good enough model…then sure.
Shiho: My thanks. We can get started as soon as we get home.
To be continued...in Part 2
