Miyuki By Mitsuru Adachi Translated by Jose "Chepin" Garcia Edited by Jane Tung Wide-Ban Volume 2 Chapter 3 Unmarried Teacher Page 53 Yakko: Sensei! Nakata Sensei!! Good afternoon. We came to talk to you concerning the physical education festival. Nakata: OK!! Wa...wait, a moment. Page 54 Nakata: Improving the stench. Yakko: Sensei, why don't you get a wife? It's shameful to live like this for a good bean scatterer. Nakata: Hey, hey. Page 55 Nakata: But, that will definetily not happen until graduation...right...society... Rika-chan: Mister Nakata! Mama said to please eat this!! Nakata: Ah, Rika-chan, thank you. Thank your mother for me. Rika-chan: Ye......s. Miyuki: Is she going to graduate next year? Kindergarten... Nakata: Hey, hey. Miyuki: Wow, looks delicious. Sensei, make some tea. Nakata: Ah, no. I'm sorry about that. I ran out of tea... Miyuki: How about coffee? Nakata: Sorry, sorry. Page 56 Yakko: Then, we'll buy some for you. Nakata: Ah, I'm sorry about that. Yakko: Money. Nakata: I'm sorry. I'll pay you back on pay-day. Miyuki: What a dirty kitchen. Then, you go shopping, I'll clean here. Yakko: OK. Miyuki: Dammit, so this is the life of a single man. Nakata: Unmarried teacher and a high school girl---both alone in a room. Dangerous, dangerous. Hehe. Page 57 Nakata: Young and lively Wa, Wakamatsu... Mother: Torao! Are you there? Page 58 Nakata: Mom... Mother: What are you doing? Nakata: I haven't done anything yet... Mother: Who is that girl? Nakata: She's a student. Mother: Is that all? Miyuki: What do you mean by that? Mother: I mean the way high school girls grow up these days. It will very bothersome if any strange rumors were started before my beloved son got married. Page 59 Nakata: You've been reading the weekly newspaper too much, mom. Those things are rare. (although is a shame...) Mother: By the way, Torao, you have to hurry up the situation, OK? The other person is also completely interested in you. I also think she'll make a good wife. Nakata: Ah... that story...huh. Mother: You're also over 30... you'll regret it late of you don't decide. Miyuki: Aha! Sensei, are you being arranged for marriage [lit. omiai]? Nakata: You're wrong, I'm keeping quiet for my mother. Ha ha ha--- Mother: Torao!! Page 60 Miyuki: What kind of person is she? The other partner... Mother: She's the exact opposite of you. She's a talented woman that is influential, refined and graduated from women's college with excellent records. Nakata: Mom, Wakamatsu's records are top througout the year!! Miyuki: I'm fine anyhow. Heh, so this is the person. What's her name? Mother: Miyuki Uehara. Miyuki: Miyuki? Same as me. Nakata: Everything else is completely different. Mother: Torao!! Page 61 Miyuki: Onii-chan, an arranged marraige or a marraige where both are in love, which is better? Masato: Huh... Miyuki: Here, coffee. Masato: Ah, thank you. Page 62 Masato: Ideally, isn't a marraige where both are in love better after all? Miyuki: Uhuh. But, an arranged marriage is good also. Because you've gotten married without knowing each other very well, From that time, you can start keeping score. Masato: Score? Miyuki: On other words, from the time of marraige, you'll discover your partner's good and bad points. In the case where it is a love marraige, because you married with a good score, later, no matter what, you'll end up subtracting points. Masato: I see. Miyuki: Hm. Page 63 Masato: Don't be worried too much about that. Isn't it something far off in the future? Miyuki: I guess so. Where are the nail clippers? Masato: On top of the TV. Miyuki: But, if I marry you, Onii-chan, we would probably get along well. Because I already know your good and bad points. Page 64 Nakata: Hehe Quickly graduate, OK. Page 65 Miyuki: Onii-chan, you can go home first. Masato: Where are you going? Miyuki: Nakata Sensei, he's caught a cold and has been resting for three days. I'm going to pay him a visit. Since he's living alone in an apartment, I think it must be hard to get food. I am going to give him at least some rice. Page 66 Masato: It's not a good idea, going to the apartment of a single man!! It's dangerous!! Miyuki: He's a high school teacher. Masato: Recently you can't have any confidence in teachers. Miyuki: You've been reading the weekly newspapers too much, Onii-chan. I'll return home at 7. See you. Nakata: kon kon Page 67 Nakata: kon kon kon. Hello. Miyuki: Good afternoon, Sensei. Nakata: Wakamatsu... Miyuki: Ah, it's OK if you don't get up. It's OK like that. Wah, a dirty kitchen like always. There isn't even a good meal. I'll make you some delicious rice right now. Page 68 Miyuki: Rest, you're sick. Nakata: OK. Page 69 Miyuki: Ouch. Page 70 Miyuki: Ah, You...you're the person who has been arranged to Nakata Sensei. Miyuki-san, the same as me. Miyuki U.: Ye...s... Miyuki: This is great. The pot is on the fire. Please take care of it. Miyuki U.: OK.... Excuse me, but I.... Miyuki: I leave it you. Miyuki U.: Excuse me, this is troublesome... Page 71 Miyuki U.: Sensei, the rice is done. Sensei. Nakata: Miyuki-chan, marry me! Please!! Page 72 Ryuuichi: Sensei, we heard you got engaged, congratulations!! Nakata: Haha... Miyuki: Congratulations, Sensei.
