Arakawa Under the Bridge 43

p135
Chapter 43. Service that makes you bleed

Maria, the owner of the farm
said some terrible insults right after her introduction.

Are you alright, Rick?

What was that, Sister?
I have a feeling that my very existence was denied completely...
It's like I was asked to go and die.
Calm down, Rick.

Yes, she said that you are lowlier than the grass, but...
it's her way of expressing love!

Lowlier than the grass!
Ha-ha, I'm sorry, Rick.
Actually, I've already heard about you...
--------------------------------------
p136
I often tease people if I think they are nice.
{But asking someone to go and die...}
What you were saying is on a completely different level from simple teasing!

I really could lose my will to live...
Huh...

your reaction is so peculiar.
I like it.

Nice to meet you.
Uh.
Yes.

Si..Sister, I really don't like her.
People here are quite rude sometimes...
But her insults are something else!x
Rick.
-------------------------------------------
p137
Shouldn't you be pleased
Because she liked you.

Maria,
Today we've come to get eggs and milk.
Ah, I have some.

Why do I have to bear that scowling!?
Being abused verbally is terrible, but what's more...
That was scary...
Even Sister...

...will probably become fed up with her insults!
Sister, could you please make the shadow you cast as small as possible?

The sun doesn't have spare rays
to shine on someone like you.
-------------------------------------
p138
Sorry.
{Without hesitation}

What!?
{No damage!?}

Sultry!

Sorry.

Annoying!

Sorry.

Transvestite!

Sorry.
------------------------------------------
p139
Pervert!
Sorry.
Pedo!
Sorry.
Ama...
amazing!

After hearing all this, the color of his face didn't even change.
Ha...

Sister's reactions sure are weak.
Serves you right!
This won't work on Sister!

Boring person.

So...
-----------------------------------------
p140
Sor....

Ah, well...
Sister!!

It sounded like an elephant falling and hitting the ground.
