Yotusba: Doesn't Fuka use this to loose weight? (fu--ka yaseru kara tsukau itte 'ta yo?) Asagi: It's okay, as she'll never lose weight. (daijoubu ano ko yasenai kara)
Yotsuba: Yay! (wa----i!) I got a loan! (kashite morau--!!) [TN: Just as at the start of the second balloonfest chapter, she's not using "morau" correctly, but I'm not sure how to render that in English.] Asagi wa yasashii! (asagi wa yasashii!!)

Yotsuba: This ball came in from, like, over there ... (konna ba--ru ga mukou kara to n'dekite ... ) [TN: Double your particles for double your fun.] Koiwai: Eh!? (ee!?)
page 13: Koiwai: "Over there"? Where? (mukou 'tte doko da yo) Yotsuba: From ... that window ... (soko no ... mado ... )
That window suddenly opened with a BANG (soko no mado ga kyuu ni ba--n 'te aite--) and a stranger threw it in PONK ... (shiranai hito ga po--n to naka ni nagete kita ... ) Koiwai: That's a big one ... (soitsu wa daijiken da ... )
Koiwai: But this big ball, it can't get through that window, can it. (demo konna ni ookii ba--ru soko no mado tooranai n'ja 'nai ka naa ... ) Yotsuba: But ... (demo ... ) that guy ... he was a magician so ... (sono hito wa ... tejina no hito datta kara ... ) it got in. (dekita)
Koiwai: Magician? (tejina no hito?) Yotsuba: He had on a magician's hat ... (tejina no hito no boushi o kabutte 'ta kara ... )
Like this ... (konna ... )

Koiwai: You know how the other day I got mad because you told a lie? (konaida uso wa tsukunatte okotta n' dakedo naa ...) What would a good girl do ... ? (ii ko wa dou suru dakke ... )
A lying bug ... (usotsuki mushi ga ... ) Koiwai: Lyingbug? (uso tsuki mushi?) [as if he doesn't quite parse the funky construction at first]
Yotsuba: A lying bug got inside me and ... (usotsuki mushi ga yotsuba no naka ni haitte ... ) Koiwai: Where's this going? (doko e iku ... )

Yotsuba: So (dakara) I'm really a good girl, but ... (yotsuba wa honto wa ii ko na no da keredo ... ) it happens because of it ... (soitsu ga katte ni ... )
It's the lying bug's fault. (usotsuki mushi sei 'te) Koiwai: I see. (sou) Yotsuba: It is the lying bug's fault, (usotsuki mushi sei) it is! (desu!)
Koiwai: Right -- Yotsuba, we're going out. (yoshi yotsuba dekakeru zo) Yotsuba: Where're we going? (doko iku?)

You'd be completely eaten up, wouldn't you. (yotsuba ga taberare-chau ka mo naa--)
But it's fine -- you're a good girl, right? (daijoubu Yotsuba wa ii ko daro?)
The Niô is exterminating the bad lying bug for us. (niou-san ni warui usotsuki mushi taiji shite morau) Yotsuba: Gyaa! (gya----!!) No! It's a lie! (chigau!! uso desu!!) There is no lying bug! (usotsuki mushi inai!!) I told lies! (yotsuba wa uso tsiuta!!)

Breaking the window as well, (mado garasu watta no mo) [TN: As you know, Bob, this happened back in the 4-koma chapter. ] and spilling the coffee, (ko--hi-- koboshita no mo) it's okay.
