Ah, it's Duralumin (a jurarumin ga iru)
Asagi: A hint -- (n-- hinto wa--)
It's something you go look at. (aru mono o mi ni ikimasu)

You haven't seen hot-air balloons, right? (kikyou nante mita koto nai deshou)
Let's go (ikou--)
Yotsuba: Don't know hot-air balloons. (kikyou 'tte nai)
[TN: ???]

Ena (off): See, It's this big balloon we want to watch. (ooki na fuusen mitai na no de)
[TN: Part of my lameness here is because Japanese uses different words for toy and hot-air balloons. But only part.]

Asagi: Like what's in the picture. (e ni egaku to kou)
Get it? (shira n'?)
Ena: Like that! It's something that flies in the sky. (anna no! are ga sora o tobu n'da yo)

I'm stuck home studying, (watashi wa ie de shikenbenkyou desu ga)
so since I can't, go have some fun. (maa ki ni shinai de tanoshi n'de kite kudasai)

Do your best, 'k? (ganbatte ne)

Yotsuba: It's snack time.
Heh heh heh heh heh
Fuka: Yeah, have some. (n douzo)

Yotsuba: Mmm (n--- (note))

page 10:
Yotsuba: Fuka! Coffee! (Fu--ka! ko--hi--!)

I'll bring coffee again! (mokkai ko--hi-- motte kuru!)
If I do that, it'll clear Fuka's head too! (sou shitara Fu--ka no atama mo hakkiri suru!)
Fuka: Ah (a)

Fuka: But is that okay? Should I go get it? (demo daijoubu? watashi ga tori ni ikou ka?)
Yotsuba: It's okay! (daijoubu!)

Yotsuba: I'll get it now! (sugu motte kuru na!)
Asagi: Oh, Yotsuba. (a Yotsuba-chan)

Asagi: Ask your father if you can go hot-air balloon watching tomorrow. (tsuite ni ashita kikyou-mi ni itte ii ka otou-san ni kii to ide)
Yotsuba: Got it! (wakatta!)

page 13:
Asagi: Did you talk to your father about tomorrow? (otou-san ashita no koto nande itte 'ta?)

Yotsuba: He totally didn't get what I was talking about. (Yotsuba no iu koto ga zenzen wakaran 'tte itte 'ta)
Asagi: Didn't I figure it'd be impossible? (yappashi muri ka)

Asagi: Well, I'll just have to go do it myself. (jaa watashi mo tsuite iko 'kka na)
Ena: Me too -- I'll go with you. (watashi mo issho no iko--)
Fuka: Should I visit Yotsuba's house with everyone? (minna de Yotsuba-chan'chi ni oshikakemasu ka)

This is the TV room! (koko ga teribi no heya desu!)

page 16:
Ena: It's TV we used to use. (uchi de mukashi tsukatta teribi da)

Yotsuba: This is the Yotsubox. (kore ga Yotsubako desu)
[TN: LOL a father switch with only four buttons, and in whattheheck non-alphabetal order?]
[TN: Also, is that an indoor slipper from Fuka's school festival???]

Asagi: Huh? "Yotsubox"? (nani? Yotsubako 'tte)
Yotsuba: Yotsuba's box (Yotsuba no hako)

Asagi: Ahhh. (hee--)

Yotsuba: Blocks! (tsumiki!)

Look, look! I can build them up high! (mite mite! Yotsuba wa dondon takaku dekiru yo!)

page 17:
Fuka: Oh (o--)

SFX: CRASH (gashikan) [like you needed that translated - Azuma draws good flinches]

Yotsuba: A-ha-ha-ha-ha (ahahahaha)
Well? (na--?)
Asagi: Well what? I don't get it. (na--? wa wakaran)

Yotsuba: Next, I'll show show you this way! (tsugi wa kotchi o go-an'nai shimasu!)

Asagi: This is a mill? A serious one. (kore ga miru ka-- honkakuteki da ne)
Yotsuba: It goes grrrrr. (kore ga---- 'tte iu yo)

Yotsuba: Dad hides all the cup ramen here. (to--chan koko ni kappu ra--men kakushite 'ru)
I found it! (Yotsuba wa mitsuketa!)

Fuka: The way the dishes are piling up bothers me ... (arai mono ga kamatte 'ru no ga ki ni naru ... )
Asagi: The way dust is piling up in the hallway corners bothers me. (watashi wa rouka no SUMI ni HOKORI tamatte 'ru no ga ki ni naru)
Ena: Leaving the futons out bothers me. (ofuton dashippa nashi ga ki ni naru)

page 20:
SFX: kaaaa kunk kunk (kaaaa kako kako) [vacuum sounds]

SFX: kaaaa [kaaaa]
Koiwai: Huh? (e!?)

Asagi: Ah -- hello. (a kon'nichi wa)
Koiwai: Uh. (haa)
hello ... ? (kon'nichi wa ... ?)

Fuka: Mr. Koiwai, you shouldn't let the dishes pile up. (Koiwai-san, arai mono an'mashi tame'cha DAME desu yo)

page 21:
Koiwai: Even though everyone's helping out, you're doing ... (minna ga tetsudai shite kurete 'ru no ni omae wa shite 'ru)
Yotsuba: ... blocks. ( ... tsumiki)

Koiwai: Ah, coffee? (aa ko--hi--?)
Sure, sure (ii yo ii yo)

Koiwai: It looks like I've got quite the reputation with everyone (nanda yo-- minna shite daikouhyou da na)
for my coffee-making skills? (ore no ireta ko--hi-- sore na ni umakatta?)
Fuka: I still haven't had any -- Yotusba keeps spilling it all. (mada ichido mo nonde 'masen Yotsuba-chan ga zenbu koboshi'chatta n'de)

page 22:
Koiwai: What's that? That's not the story I heard. (aree? kiite 'ta hanashi to chigau naa--)

I heard you go on about how everyone said it was good. (ko--hi-- minna oishi-- 'tte itte ki 'tta kiita kedo na)

Did you tell a lie? (omae USO tsuita no na)

Fuka: Is this good? (kore wa oishii no?)
Yotsuba: Man, that was scary. (wa-- kowakatta na--)

Yotsuba: I'll put out candy for everyone! (minna okashi dashite yaru na!)

Agh! What to do? This is the strongest one ... (aa! dou suru!? kore wa SAIKYO-- na no ni ... )

page 23:
Yotsuba: It's super-awful but ... (sugo-sugiru kedo ...)
I'll give you this! (kore o dasu!!)
Fuka: What's that? (sonna ni?)
[TN: Good question -- I'm not quite following her here. Maybe saikyou is strongest as in the last to survive, making this her last candy?]

Koiwai: Ah (a)
That thing (son'de--)

that Yotsuba says you're going to tomorrow -- (Yotsuba ga ashita minna to kore ni iku 'tte ... )
what is it? (nan jaa kore?)
Asagi: Ah-ha-ha-ha! She draws tolerably well. (ahahaha kekkou yoku kakete 'ru)

Ena: Hot-air balloon! (kikyou!)
We're going balloon watching! Can Yotsuba come too? (kikyou-mi ni ikuno! Yotsuba-chan mo itte ii desu ka!?)
Yotsuba: Can I? (ii desu ka?)
Koiwai: Ahhh -- a hot-air balloon! (aa-- kikyou!)
That's a balloon? (kore kikyou kaa)

Koiwai: Riding? (noru no?)
Asagi: No, it's just to watch. (ie miru dake desu kedo ne)
Like a balloon ... convention? (nanka kikyou no taikai?)
It seems to be something like that. (ga agu rashii n'desu yo)
Yotsuba: I'm going? (ike 'ru ka na?)
Ena: You are. (ike 'ru yo)

page 24:
Koiwai: Haaa. Well, I gues It's okay? If she goes. (fuu--n ... ma ii n'jaa nai? itte kureba)
Ena: Yay -- you can go! (wa-- ikke ii 'te--)
Yotsuba: Yeah (na--)

Asagi: Ah, that's good. (a-- tada desu ne)
The man's in mid-air? (ji kyou hito ... ?)
[TN: Not sure of the readings here, but she's looking at the lack of gondola in Yotsuba's drawing]

Asagi: Departure is really early, at 4 in the morning. (shuppatsu ga chou-hayakute asa no 4-ji na n'desu)
Koiwai: 4 a.m.!? (4-ji!?)
Early! (haya)
[TN: LOL Ena's face]

Asagi: The trip's about 2 hours ... and they start at 6 am. (iku no ni tabun 2-jikan ... de hajimaru no ga 6-ji na n'desu yo)
They fly the balloons in the early morning. (kikyou 'tte souchou ni tobu n'desu 'tte)

Voice (Koiwai): About what time will you get back? (kaeri wa nanji kurai ni naru?)
Voice (Asagi): Probably about 8 at night. (tabun yoru 8-ji kurai)

page 25:
Koiwai: A full day? (1-ka chuu ka--)
Yotsuba: Make something. (nanka tsukutte)
Fuka: Right. (yossha)

Koiwai: If that's the case, isn't taking care of Yotsuba a big hassel? (sore da to Yotsuba no mendou-miru no suge-- taihen da yo?)
I can't have you do that. (chotto osusume dekinai na)

Yotsuba, give it up. (Yotsuba yame-toke)
I'll take you some other time. (mata kondo to--chan ga tsurete 'tte yaru kara)
Yotsuba: Whaaa? (e!!)

Ena: It's okay! I'll play with her! (daijoubu desu! watashi ga issho ni asobimasu!)
Yotsuba: We're play together! (issho ni asobu!)

page 26:
Koiwai: But Yotsuba might wander off and get lost. (demo Yotsuba urochoro shite maigo ni naru kamoshiren)
Ena: I'll always watch her! I'll hold her hand! (zutto mitemasu! te o tsunagimasu!)
Yotusba: We'll hold hands! (tsunagimasu!)

Koiwai: She might get sleepy partway through where she can't lie down. (tochuu de nemukure 'tte ne'chau kamoshiren shi)
Ena: I'll slap her awake. (tataki okoshimashu)
Yotsuba: I'll get slapped. (tatakaremasu)

Koiwai: Yeah, but it's still a concern. (n-- demo shinpai da naa--)
Fuka: Can't Mr. Koiwai go too? (Koiwai-san mo ikeba ii ja n')

Kowai: Eh? Is that all right? (e? sore mo ARI?)
Asagi: Ah, that's all right. (a-- ARI desu yo)
[TN: Munching candy while reading a picture book with a munching koala lol]

page 27:
Fuka: If Mr. Koiwai goes, he can probably chip in for meals and highway tolls. (Koiwai-san ga ikeba tabun kousoku toka gohan no okane dashite kureru)

Yotsuba: Daddy will chip in. (okane wa to--chan ga dashimasu)

Koiwai: Hmm ... (fumu ... )

Koiwai: If you'll let me chip in at least that much, (sore kurai dasasete moraimasu ga)
I guess I can come along to take care of Yotsuba. (n'ja Yotsuba no komori-yaku de otomo shimasu ka)
Ena: Yay -- he said you can go. (wa-- itte ii 'tte)

page 28:
Koiwai: What goes on at a balloon convention? (kikyou no taikai 'tte nani ya n'no?)
Races? (re--su?)
Awagi: Could be things like races. (re--su nante dekiru no ka na)
Yotsuba: Acorns! (donguri!)
SFX: rattle (za--) [of acorns spilling on wooden floor]
Fuka: That sounds like fun. (tanoshi sou desu ne)
Though I'll be home studying for exams. (ma watashi wa ie de shikenbenkyuu shite 'masu ga ne)

Koiwai: Oh, you're not going? (a Fuuka-chan wa ikanai no)
Fuka: They're just balloons. (kikyou nante)
They just float and things like that. (uite 'ru dake desu yo anna mono wa)

Fuka: Done. (dekita)
[TN: Poor Fuka, no one notices her rather impressive horse.]

Koiwai: Though I wonder if I can I get up so early. (demo asa okireru ka na)
Asagi: That's a good question. (sore ga mondai nan desu yo)
Ena: I'll wake you up. (watashi ga okoshite ageru yo)

vertical text: Which is to say, next time it's a story about balloons! Wait for the June issue, on sale April 27th! (to iu koto wa, jikai wa kikyou no hanashi 'tte koto desu na! 4-gatsu 27-nichi hatsubai 6-gatsu-gou made shi o-machi o!!)
