Arakawa Under the Bridge 37

p101
Chapter 37. If it's paprika...

The keeper of the vegetable garden
{So cruel...}
was a typical clumsy girl.

It can't be malfunctioning, you are lying.
Do you have some trick against my traps?
You are mistaken! I can't do anything like this!
What's this voice?

P-ko?
Don't call me in such a familiar way, you scoundrel!

Sorry...

Nino! Listen, this girl...
Nino!
--------------------------------------
p102
Haven't seen you for half a year!
It's been a long time!
Did you come back today?

I thought that she might be your acquaintance...
Ah, Rick.
{I'm glad to see you again!}
Her name is P-ko.

She provides vegetables for all people under the bridge.
All?
Then, this garden is real...

In winter, I set out on a journey to get seedlings...
Somehow I think a harmonica and a yellow scarf would suit you!

So, Nino, who is this man? A guest?
He is Rick, my lover.
-------------------------------
p103
What...............?
Hm

I'm already used to cold reception...
It can't be...

No way...
That man who looks like an blighted eggplant...

Blighted eggplant.

That's too much...
Where exactly did you find the resemblance?
But this man...

isn't appropriate for Nino, a woman with hair resembling golden corn!
Wow, these are some words of praise.
----------------------------------
p104
I'm not sure what is normal in your opinion, so I'm not mad at you any more.
However...

I'll have to agree.
If Nino has chosen you, there should be something edible about you.

Here, this is for our meeting.
Green pepper is my speciality!
P-ko...

Sorry, I don't like green pepper.

Eh?
Is it so?
It's not bitter at all!
Moreover, green pepper...

Despite how it looks, its inside is hollow, and I always have a feeling that I was deceived.
You are terrible!
Eh?
----------------------------------------
p105
How could you say such cruel words...
right to pepper's face?

What?
It's not like the pepper could choose to be bitter!

It was decided when he was born...
Eh, I am very sorry...
If it's cut in pieces, for example in a hamburger...
What am I apologizing for?

Ugh...ugh...
What?

Be more...
Slap?!
------------------------------------------
p106
kind to others!

If it's paprika...
{Paprika is a red or yellow type of pepper. It's slightly sweet.}

Kyaa! I'm so sorry, Nino, I've missed, it wasn't intentional...
If it's paprika, then...
I got acquainted with a destructive clumsy girl.
