Ohoshisama ni Onegai! by Fujisaki Mao Source: Volume 1 Translated: Dianne (DiDi) Chapter 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Ohoshisama ni Onega! is owned by Fujisaki Mao. This is a fan translation and no money is made off of this. Notes: These translations are *loose* translations. I've translated them so they make sense, not as much as you may understand everything word-for-word. Why? One, it doesn't always make too much sense. Two, I've been told I can be too strict on it sometimes, and I should just translate to vernacular. Mind you, I'm still trying to be as accurate as possible. If you've found a translation that is closer to the dictionary meaning, yet still makes sense, please don't hesitate to inform me. Thanks. : text in bubbles * floating text > sound [] translator's additional notes.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 109 Off-shot: We'll take a 10-minute recess here. The temperature is higher but please refrain from gulping down your drinks. Off-shot: Because you'll be perspiring heavily and taxing your physical strength. * When I have problems, somebody was telling me to climb over the mountain, but Tomo: This is impossible. --- Page 110 Tomo: (thought) My head is spinning and I'm going crazy. * (Tomo) Here? Are we getting on here? * (Koba) We don't have to climb up there. * I'm Sasahara Tomo, 15 years old. I've come to a situation where 2 guys have confessed to me. Right now, I'm in the middle of great confusion. Off-shot: Sasahara-san Kashima: How you feeling? * #2 cause Tomo: I'm fine. Kashima: Really? I thought you couldn't sleep last night. Girl: What's this? Kashima-kun, did you do something so she couldn't sleep? *How suspicious* Tomo: That's not it! Kashima: Are? Don't you know? --- Page 111 Kashima: Somebody from another section got caught by the look-out. Girls: A---! So that was what the noise was about? Ikenouchi's really stubborn about looking around. Tomo: *hm* Iinchou's suddenly pretty smooth at changing the topic. Off-shot: Kashima Akira: There aren't any guys who aren't feeling well? * #1 cause Kashima: Everyone has barely had any sleep, one way or another, because of the night watch. Akira: Oh, that. --- Page 112 Akira: Honestly, I was out visiting, too. You're pretty popular, aren't you, Kashima? You were probably out talking to your fellow students. *They said the night was pretty quiet* [Note: ???] * It sucks being the watchdog. To make matters worse, there's no smoking allowed. Off-shot: ...Well, you could leave for a bit if you feel like it, Shimasen (Shimazaki-sensei's abbreviation) Tomo: (thought) Dangit. I'm too short. Girls: *haa.... *heart** The too short one's pretty absentminded, ne. Tomo: AH!? Girls: It's Kashima-kun and Shima-chan. * hanya--n * huh? Girls: Tomo, since you're pretty dense, you may not know it but both of those two are pretty popular. --- Page 113 Off-shot: Shima-chan has looks nobody could object to. On top of being a private high school teacher with good pay and a bachelor, he also has his own car. Off-shot: Then there's Kashima-kun. On top of being the hope of the kendou club and having high grades, he's got an 'O' personality. [Note: Referring to blood type, probably.] Girls: Well, in his situation and stature, there are a lot of girls falling on his feet, but he's still growing into adulthood. Girls: 15 more centimeters! If he grows some more, he'll be as tall as Shima-chan. Tomo: Haa.... Tomo: (thought) *I see* Aki-nii's living alone now, huh... [Note: the word for "bachelor" and "living alone" are basically the same "hitori gurashi"] * I wonder how uncle and auntie are doing.... [Note: referring to his parents] Girls: But--- Really, Kashima-kun's attached to Tomo. Tomo: Hmmm... HEH!? Girls: But, really.. Kashima-kun's attitude is pretty obvious. --- Page 114 Girls: What were you and Kashima-kun doing, rustling about in the futon last night? Tomo: ------------------------ Akira: What did you say was in the futon? Girls: Nothing, sensei------ * scared and won't turn around * eeek.... Akira: Hey, we're leaving. Get back in line. * He didn't hear. Just now.. Akira: Sasahara Tomo: Y.. yes. * panda buzzer Akira: You forgot this. Tomo: Oh.. *thanks* Akira: Wear that tight around your neck. Kashima: That's right. It'll come in useful when you get lost in the mountains. * Ah.... * (Tomo) Why don't you guys line up and stop laughing---------- * (Tomo) Isn't it both your fault that I'm this distracted? --- Page 115 Tomo: (thought) Kya.... My stomach! * It's because we're not supposed climb that way... Girls: (thought) She's like a "Gokiburi" [Note: What's a gokiburi?] Tomo: *Hmm* It's so hot! Tomo: Koba-chan, if you drink less, your throat wouldn't be so dry? [Note: She's probably getting dehydrated faster cuz she's gulping it down and retaining less water after the work...] Koba: I'm really thirsty, and I'm not sweating, but... --- Page 116 Tomo: Well, do you have a fever? Koba: Ah.. might be.. Tomo: That's right. Hey! Your hands are swollen. Tomo: Ikenouchi-sensei, Koba-san has a fever! Ikenouchi: ....It doesn't seem you have a fever but... Did you sleep well last night!? Girls: We couldn't sleep because of your look-out... Akira: Koba, do you not feel well? ?: Shimazaki-sensei Akira: ...Ah. You do have a fever. * Ah... --- Page 117 * When it was me, he didn't touch me at all----------------- Kashima: ..... Ikenouchi: *Ara* Is that so? Akira: You should rest, too, Ikenouchi-sensei. Your hands are getting warm. Ikenouchi: A...ra. So it seems, doesn't it? Akira: It'll probably be much faster if she heads back from here... Akira: Ikenouchi-sensei, I'll take this girl back... Ikenouchi: I see. [note: lit: I understand.] * (Tomo) Stupid. When Koba-chan's having I problem, what am I... Tomo: Koba-chan Tomo: Here. You can have some dried plum candy. [Note: (Yeah, a lot of these, huh?) sucking on candy would keep her from dehydrating?] Koba: Thanks. --- Page 118 * (Tomo) Ooooooooooooh... I really hate myself. Girls: Tomo, let's go? Girls: Shima-chan will get there. It's alright. Tomo: Y.... yeah. Kashima: Sasahara-san. Kashima: Do you like Shimazaki-sensei? Tomo: ........... * EHHHHHH!? --- Page 119 Kashima: Well, Sasahara-san, you've often been Shima-chan's helper since the opening ceremonies. Tomo: Th.. that's... * I'm only working hard for Aki-nii because he's blackmailing me. * If I say that, it's going to be bad. Really bad. * I'm the one who said to keep it a secret. Kashima: And you always look at Shima-chan, Sasahara-san. Tomo: ------------------ Tomo: Bu.... Eh!? No way. Kashima: Sasahara-san, you're too honest. ["bakashoujiki" --> too honest] Tomo: Ka... Kashima-kun, you can't be so perceptive of everybody's feelings... Kashima: But it's not something to hide. --- Page 120 Kashima: But I'm not worried even if you like somebody right now, Sasahara-san. Tomo: Eh? Kashima: Having Shima-chan as a rival is ok. He's an adult and the guys think he's cool. Kashima: There's a lot of things where I can't match him right now, but Kashima: If my rival's level is high, then my objective has become much higher, and a fighting spirit enters into how I polish myself.. * (Classmates) Whoa. Iinchou's gripped fists are throbbing.. [Note: iinchou means "class representative" remember?] Tomo: Haa..... Kashima: To sum it up, because I, too, have good potential in becoming a good man, I'm just checking in for well-made propaganda. Kashima: And if along the way, I get set back and become a menial guy, then I'd still have potential, ne. --- Page 121 * (Tomo) Kashima-kun is funny. Tomo: *ahahaha* That's bad-- The drawbacks have to be written small towards the bottom of the advertisement. Kashima: You finally laughed. Kashima: You look like 'there's definitely a crease in the middle of my forehead!' since this morning. I wonder if it's my fault. Tomo: N.. n.. no.. It's not your fault. Kashima: Even if you deny it, you're still sad. Tomo: .......... *sorry* Girl: Iinchou---- They said to take roll------ Kashima: Ok------ Hm, well. I'll see you again on top. --- Page 122 Tomo: (thought) *He..* He's pretty lively.. * He's gonna climb running? * It's nice that Kashima-kun's so easy to understand... Tomo: (thought) If only Aki-nii were that easy to understand-- * (memory of Kashima's words) You're always looking at Shima-chan * I see..... I don't really mean to, but.... Girls: Mo------ No more---------- Can we climb a little slower--------- ?: If we go at this pace, it'll only be another 30 minutes. --- Page 123 Tomo: Shino-san, are you alright!? Your face is really pale!? Shino: .......I'm worn out. Tomo: Where's your water? Why don't you drink? Shino: Gone. Tomo: You already drank it all? Well, then, I'll give you mine. Shino: ...It's ok. Tomo: *NO!* Drink it! Girl: ....They have to discuss even the general gist... Off-shot: Ikenouchi-sensei! Shino-san looks like she's not feeling too well. Ikenouchi: Since you came this far, the climb point is much nearer. You can get down through the lift near the roadway from the other side of the peak. Girl: You should rest for a bit. Tomo: Ja, I'll stay. ?: If you go straight along the ridge, it's about 15 minutes to the top. Shimazaki-sensei will be coming along later. Tomo: Hai, alright. --- Page 124 Tomo: Shino-san, let's go when you can walk. Shino: ....It's ok. Go. Tomo: No. Tomo: Because, Shino-san, your willpower is still weak. Tomo: Because I'm tough, I can run and go call a teacher. Because I'm small, I won't block the view. [field of vision] *ne* Shino: .......... Tomo: ...You can lean on my back. Shino: .... Thank you. * (Tomo) They say that when you don't feel well, if you lean on somebody, you can feel better. * (Tomo) It was Aki-nii who taught me that. --- Page 125 Off-shot: .....Seriously... This makes you think of your physical strength.. Because you don't really take the reasons of things like these into consideration, is what the school says. Kuze: The kids today are weaker than back then, probably becaues they were much harder. () Akira: Well, I'm going back to the line-up. Kuze: *heeheehee* Teachers are in trouble, too, ne--- The truth is you just want to take care of Chima-chan's problems. Receiver: This is the tail end of Mihoshi High School. This is Tsukishima. Shimazaki-sensei, Which vicinity are you coming from? Akira: This is Shimazaki. I'm at the first camp right now. I'll be returning to the route from here. Receiver: Two of the students from your class are late. Please rendezvous with them and take the lead. Akira: !? Akira: Which ones in my class? --- Page 126 Receiver: Sasahara Tomo and Shino Kazuyo. Tomo: (thought) *wo-------w* We're really late. * I can't even see the tail end. * What's with this rocky place!? Tomo: Shino-san, hang on. Just beyond this rocky place is the top. Shino: Ugh.. Shino: I'm sleepy. Tomo: Eh? Shino: I'm going to sleep for 10 minutes. Tomo: Eh-----!? It's dangerous------ *Here!?* Shino: It's ok. Tomo: *It's not ok! Let's go on together-----* Shino-san! * (point to Shino) Really asleep --- Page 127 Tomo: (thought) ...Can't do anything about it. I'll rest a bit, too. Tomo: (thought) I remember seeing a sky like this.. * The sky.... * It's so hi-------gh... * The green train we rode and the ocean Aki-nii took me to. * Holding hands. * Doing that, it felt good... Aki-nii's hand. * When he let go of my hand, I grasped it once again so tightly. * That sign was really sad. [Note: "sign" as in him letting her go.] --- Page 128 * Ah... That time I * really loved Aki-nii. * Ja... That's why... * Now? --------->MEMORY CLIP-------> Akira: Ma. This has something to do with it, too. <---------MEMORY CLIP<------- * Ah... * Are? * Do you like Shimazaki-sensei? --- Page 129 * Why aren't I upset for being kissed? Tomo: (thought) Ehhhhhhh!? Tomo: Whoa..!? Tomo: Shi.. Shino-san? Tomo: Shino-san, wake up! Steady yourself! Tomo: Shi.. * Oh, no.....! * She must be anemic. * This is bad... She has to steady herself now.. Tomo: Shino-san! Shino-san.. Someone..... --- Page 130 * Help.... Tomo: AKI-NII....... Akira: .....Call me sensei [is that the literal translation for "sensei to oyobi"? i could write that any number of ways, from what little i know..] * .......!! Akira: ....Ja. Please take care of her. Kuze: Haai Akira: If you and I go on foot, we can catch up in an hour. Akira: Let's go. Chima. --- Page 131 Tomo: ------ Akira: Come on. I won't be "sensei" for a little while. Chima? * Ah.. This is impossible. * If I talk * the tears will come. Akira: Chima? Akira: Chi-----ma? * You only said my name. Akira: Did your nose and your knee injury from yesterday stop hurting? --- Page 132 Akira: Did you feel discouraged by yourself? You did well. * It's not supposed to be bad. * But I always leaned on Aki-nii * Because he's the "oniichan" I love? * Because he's the "man" I love? * I don't care which one. I can't help it right now-------- [Note: literal translation, "Right now, I'm going to act like a spoiled child."] Tomo: U--------------------- --- Page 133 * I don't know which * But I love him. I love him so much. [Note: consistent to prior context.. ^^; "kedo suki. daisuki."] Akira: *here* Chima, take my hand. Tomo: I can get down from here all by myself. Akira: That's ok. Akira: I want to make up for yesterday, too. Come on. [Note: lit, "Because I want to spoil/pamper you for yesterday, just cooperate."] Tomo: If.. If you spoil me too much, I'm going to be an awful person. Akira: It's alright. You can be pampered but it's not a bad thing. --- Page 134 Tomo: Is that a compliment? Or are you being sarcastic? Akira: I'm complimenting you. Tomo: What? Akira: ....You Akira: You've gotten heavier than before. *your weight 5 years ago* Tomo: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * If.. * If he really becomes my "lover", how would it feel like... Tomo: (thought) What am I thinking!? Akira: We're going to try to catch up somehow. Tomo: ............. --- Page 135 Tomo: Then... you'll go back to being teacher? * Don't let go yet! Tomo: Ah. --- Page 136 Akira: You Akira: Ms. Pampered. Tomo: urk * He saw right through me! Tomo: ....I told you already but you still wanted to make up for the accident earlier. * This is really Tomo: Aki-nii, for now, you're just * mortifying Tomo: such an oniichan! --- Page 137 * It irritates me when it's like this. * It really irritates me. I give up. Akira: For now... huh. Kashima: Sasahara-san!? Where's Shino-san!? Tomo: Yeah. Tomo: She's alright! --- Page 138 Kashima: !? Kashima: ............ ShadowGuy?: Nee, nee.. What do you think about those two? ShadowGirl: No matter how determined Kashima-kun is, Tomo's just more like a child. Off-shot: If it's going to be like this, should we help them? [Note: "to take off one's skin" --------> "to help"] END CHAPTER 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Homepage: http://ohoshisama.cjb.net/ Email at: lilasia@hey.to Date: November 28, 2000
