Lucky Star 26

Double-check translation before putting it on your scanlation. I will not be responsible if any mistakes are made. The numbering of this Lucky Star chapter is based not on the actual page number from the tank I got this from. I number it in a way where in the start of a new chapter, the page number goes back to 1.

Please do report any mistranslations to me. I'm learning the language and I would be very happy to correct my mistakes.

Run, run.

Note: The teams that are going to be mentioned in this panel are (or were) actual teams in Japan.

If this is the case…

SFX = bored

Ko... Kona-chan, what's wrong?
Well... since Daiei Hawks is gone, I don't feel like going to the sale anymore...
SFX = gloom
(And to think I finally decided on going...)

If Seibu is also closed down, then I guess Seiyuu won’t have a sale too.
No... baseball’s going to be a boring existence for me again.
(Seriously)
Oh, talking about baseball, eh?

Sensei, if Lotte becomes over-all champions, can you treat me to some cheap pastry?
Hey, you do know that they haven’t won a championship in 30 years right?
*TL: They’ve actually won another title in 2005, but this was published before then.
(You don’t)
(My knowledge is greater.)

A Christmas Eve with You

Konata, wanna go wild with everyone on Christmas?
Ah, sorry. I’ve got plans on Christmas.

Oh, what? With a guy?
Hmm… something like that.

Are you and your dad going out?
Hmm… I think I told my dad I’d be home late?
(Didn’t think of this as a normal conversation)
(Nope~)

!!!
Don’t tell me, you’re really going on a date with your boyfriend?! (since when…)
Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m just going to my part-time job.
(Besides, you’re not really wrong about boys coming)

Left Panel
Show Time

Oh, a part-time job!
(For a second there, I really thought you had a boyfriend!)
There’s a special event on Christmas day.
(I was surprised!)

During that time, we’re going to dress up like Santa Claus.

You really like those kind of things, huh.
Hmm… but you know,

Don’t you guys also cosplay as shrine maidens in the New Year?
(in your family shrine.)
(don’t look too much…)
Don’t call it cosplay!
(you make it sound like it’s forced upon us.)

The Time You Dream

Leaving the cosplay topic…
(Hohoho)
I’ve always believed that Santa Claus was a trespasser when I was a kid
Don’t look down on someone based on a holy man.
Evil girl.
But…
?
SFX = stare

Santa’s supposed to make dreams come true for children,
So what’s up with the men who turns to this brat with their dreams?
What’s this? You just insulted a lot of people… (casually)

Left Panel
Time Circulates

SFX = brush brush

There have been a lot of incidents where children are getting attacked, huh.
(That’s true…)
I’ve been thinking…

If children learn martial arts,
Wouldn’t things like that happen less?

(I can see your underwear.)
That’s true~

But won’t that come back and haunt you?
(Because when they grow up, they’ll be stronger too.)

Right Panel
Health Balance

W… well… there’s that!

Learning martial arts can help you mature as a person, right?
Oh, I see.
(Hmmm)

But…

(hehehe)
There’s someone in front of me who’s done martial arts and can’t even take care of herself.
Ho- how rude!

Left Panel
Case by Case

I have a cousin who’s going to be a high school student next year.
(she’s Yui-neesan’s sister.)

She’s physically weak, but she’s cute and innocent, not to mention she’s suuuper cute!
Ohhh… (is she going to our school?)
(Konata-oneechan!)
But when I start thinking about how a “healthy spirit leads to a healthy body”…

I start to get this feeling that there’s something hidden behind those beautiful eyes.
(Because there are cases like that…)
I doubt all aphorisms are universal…
Look at you.
(you’re a total let-down)
