Prince of Tennis 344

Well, as promised, though a little late, the translation of Prince of Tennis 344. I hope you all enjoy it. I'm glad that it is the last of this short, ridiculous, but funny arc. I hope we get to see some real tennis action next week. Like always, the translation is available to be scanlated by anyone who wants to. Also, as always, any corrections you se eI need to make please let me know. Anyhow, without further adieu....

アミを取り替えて安眠………　プッ
Because they changed their grill, they are now quietly sleeping……hmph
(Translator’s note: Hikaru is making one of his puns. アミ(ami) means grill and安眠(anmin) means quiet sleep. Also, the hmph is supposed to be the sound you make when you try to hold in your own laughter)

タレに細工するバカタレ………　プッ
That cocksucker also messed with the sauce…….hmph
(Translator’s note: Hikaru is making one of his puns. タレ (tare) means sauce and バカタレ (bakatare) means cocksucker (I looked it up here, it really says the definition is cocksucker lol…I think it’s really just another way of saying idiot, The Japanese language has way too many ways of saying idiot lol.). Also, the hmph, again, is supposed to be the sound you make when you try to hold in your own laughter)

19世紀始めのフランスの政治家　フランソワ＝ルネ・ド・シャトーブリアンが
A statesman from 19th century France name François-Rene de Chateaubriand.

料理人に命じて作らせた事からこう呼ばれるようになった
Because it was created by his personal chef, it came to be called by his name.
