Hmmmmm. Usually, I don't post my translation in this site since all my translations are reserved for some groups though, IEM seems like having trouble due to lack of proofreader. This translation has been posted at IEM site for a month or so but never been proofread. So, I'm hoping to get some proofreaders help. Please any one??

Edit:proofread by |luffy| at IEM. Thanks~~.

//Kami no Shizuku 19//

p.3
Man: Let me help you beat // this bragging guy up.
Box: Fatality comes with food.

Man: If he says that he will come back here again on Monday, // we’ll attack him back with a glass of wine. Then he can’t complain.

Man: …

p.4
Man: Who on earth are you?
Shizuku: Ah, sorry for not telling you.

Shizuku: I’m Shizuku Kanzaki / from the wine section of Sun beer.

Shizuku: Actually, my fate has been linked with this critic… / I just want to beat him once.
Text: He took over my house you see!!
Man: Ha--. / I don’t really understand, but in short you’re saying that you’re an expert in wine right?

Shizuku: Well, I’m still just a novice. // I don’t know about names of wine but / I think I can be of assistance since I’m a little confident in my nose and tongue.
Man: OK. It’s not like I have anyone to help me anyway.

Man: To tell you the truth, I’m a nonalcoholic. / I can’t even drink a drop of alcohol.
Shizuku: Eh? Though you have a pretty nice wine cellar.

Man: Oh, my dead wife used to manage that. // She loved wine and / could enjoy alcohol…

p.5
Man: … // Back then, everything went well…

Shizuku: … // Hmm…

Man: Oh, aah, I’m sorry. // I haven’t even introduced myself yet.

Man: I’m Watanuki, the owner and head chef of this restaurant “Ma Famille”.
Shizuku: Nice to meet you… I’d like to get down to business, Watanuki-san. / I have some requests.

Man: What is it?
Shizuku: Could you please get dinner A ready with the exact same ingredients and wine that Tomine ordered by tomorrow afternoon? // In the first place, we can’t do anything unless we find out what caused him to complain.

Man: I, I understand. // I’ll do my best.

p.6
Man: Also, the wine we served at that time may still be at the cellar. // It has caused some trauma and I never served the same wine since then. Hahaha.
Shizuku: Thank you for your cooperation.

Girl: I’m home.

Text: Whoa-. She’s so Gal-ish~.
TN: Gal is a kind of girl’s style. That's exactly the way this girl is.

Man: Suzuka!! Where the hell have you been until now!? It's late!
Suzuka: Who cares.

p.7
Sfx: Glance.

Man: Also, how many times do I have to tell you not to come in from the restaurant’s entrance!? // This is a restaurant!! A restaurant is a place where people can enjoy a different atmosphere from home cooking. / If the daughter of an owner strolls around, customers will--.

Suzuka: Ah--. I got it alright. There’s no customers anyway. // It’s closing time.

Suzuka: Oh, there are no customers during business hours either. // Hahaha.

Man: You!

Suzuka: What?
Man: …

Man: … // How could you…

p.8
Man: It’s been 2 years since you graduated from high school, and you still won’t get a job. All you do is wander around./ At this hour…

Man: …! // You’ve been drinking again.

Man: You’re not even 20 years old!!
Suzuka: I’m almost 20.

Suzuka: I bet you forgot about it!?
Man: What did you say!?
Shizuku: Well, well.

Shizuku: How could you talk to your father like that?

Shizuku: Watanuki-san too. You don’t have to unsparingly yell at a modern young person…

p.9
Man: I didn’t raise her to be like this. / I taught her that bad things are bad.
Suzuka: Don’t talk like my mom was wrong!!

Man: Suzuka!

Sfx: Bam.

p.10
Man: I apologize // for showing you uncomfortable stuff like that.

Man: For some reason since her mother’s death, I can’t communicate well with her…

Shizuku: …I kind of understand you. // My father died recently too. / When he was alive we always argued.

Shizuku: However, now that he’s gone / I slowly came to realize what my father wanted me to do. // That’s one of the reasons that I came into this wine business.

p.11
Shizuku: It may be the way of a relationship // between a father and his children.

Man: …

Man: I feel like I can trust you.
Shizuku: Huh?

Man: Well, I didn’t take you seriously because you all of a sudden came up to me saying that you wanted to help me up. Though // now I feel like I want to bet on you.

p.12
Man: Formally, please work with me.

Shizuku: The same to you.

p.13
Sfx: Throw.

Sfx: Rattle.

Suzuka: …

Suzuka: Mom…

p.14
Sfx bubble: Clang.

Man: Ooh!! Senor Chousuke. / Bonjourno!
Man: Bonjourno.

Man: Sorry to bother you in the morning. / I’d like to ask for your cooperation.

Man: I want to beat a blown haired kid that's being big on French.
Man: Ohh, bene!! / That’s interesting. Ask me anything.

Man: Interesting isn’t it? Mufufu.
Man: What’s that?

p.15
Man: My choice of fantastic Vinos. Each and every one of these vinos is cheap and has my type of strong and rich character that came from passionate nation. // However, for the battle against the being-big-on-French there must be only three red wines. We must choose one. Each from the price of around a 1,000 yen, a 2,000 yen and a 3,000 yen.

Man: It breaks my heart, but I must pick three from these children.
Man: Hmhm. That must be hard to do by yourself. / Let me and my daughter help you out.

Man: Ooh--. Grazie. I was waiting for you to say that!! / Senor Leonardo!!
Man: Come here, Sofia.

Sofia: Ooh--. Chousuke. // You were here.

p.16
Man: Sofia!! Piacere.
Sofia: Huh, what’s going on? So many Vinos? / Are you guys still drinking from this morning?
Man: Yeah, I guess we should just close the shop already and / have pasta and pizza while we taste Chousuke’s wines.

Man: Hahahaha.
Sofia: Close the shop already you said but… you haven’t even opened the shop yet.
Thought: I really like Italian people as well as alcohol.

Thought: That idiot son of Yutaka Kanzaki // surely he realized how difficult it is to find a cheap French wine by now.

Thought: Compared to that all the Italian wines are powerful and // easy to drink.

Thought: It applies to food too. // Unlike French, all the Italian cooking is simple and has bold taste.

p.17
Thought: In short, if you’re aiming for the mass market, / it should be Italian rather than French. // He should learn it.

Sfx: Clang.

Some people: We were waiting for you Kanzaki-san. // Hello. // Uh? This lady is? // Ah, my name is Miyabi Shinohara. / I’m helping Shizuku-san.

p.18
Some1: Anyway, to get to the point, this is the white wine I served that Tomine man. / This is a popular brand and the prime cost was around 3,000. / It was a little expensive for a glass of wine, but I was selling it at a special low price.
Some1: Uh-huh. / A vintage of 03…
Some1: Yeah. Back then it was 02 but the shop nearby only had this one now.

Girl: It’s “Chablis 1er cru” from Verge. // This maker is called “magician” for one of white wine’s breed; chardonnay. They make fruity, rich, soft and delicate chablis.

p.19
Shizuku: I see. Then, does it mean that wine itself is not bad at all?
Girl: That’s what I think.

Shizuku: I see. It has the rich fragrance of fruits and many flowers, along with riped pineapple and slightly smoked oak. // How do I put it? I think it’s a fruity and delicate wine.

Girl: It’s still young and the taste of new barrel is significant. // It’s full of fruitiness that makes it almost like “meursault”. // The retail price is a little expensive, around 4,000 yen but if you think of it as a 1er of a “meursault”, that makes it cheap.

Man: This is the same sea urchin’s mousse from that time.

p.20
Man: I used butter, fresh cream and a little bit of lemon. // Also, as a hidden savor, I used lobster shell.

Girl: Food too. / It’s delicious.
Shizuku: …

Girl: These oysters look very fresh too. I think it’ll go well with Chablis. // In terms of wine, “oyster with chablis” has been common sense from the old days.

p.21
Girl: Huh? This oyster is a bit fishy.
Man: Eh? No way. / I tasted it in the kitchen and it wasn’t fishy at all.

Man: How strange.

Man: See, there’s no problem with it.
Girl: Hmm, / but…
Shizuku: I’ve figured it out.

Girl: Eh?

p.22
Shizuku: I’m beginning to understand the reason why that // Tomine bastard didn’t drink this wine--.
Foot: #19 END.
