P1
1. OOB>>> Being able to see what's supposed to be unseeable, being unable to see what's supposed to be seeable.
1. OOB>>> And thus, various things start!!
1. Title> Sayoko-san and Playing with Dolls
P2
1. Box> The "Asahi Inn" I've been lodging at is about 20 minutes walk from Kanazuchi Station.
1. Box> Or so the realtor told me.
0. OOB> Inaba-kun had enough experience of living alone...?!
2. Box> But, for my feet, it takes about 35 minutes.
3. Box> 38 years of age, [T/N: age of the building]
3. Box> has private bathroom and toilet,
3. Box> no shower,
4. Box> bad sunlight exposure (insects often show up),
5. Box> and the rent is 23,000 Yen. [T/N: monthly]
5. SFX> fshhh
5. Box> This extraordinarily low rent explains why I decided to stay here. The main reason, perhaps (and maybe the only good point about this inn...) [T/N: actually he's very lucky to get one which has indoor bathroom and toilet, considering the low rent. The vast majority of these kind of apartments don't include them.]
P3
1. SFX>>> ding dong
1. Inaba> Good morning!
1. Inaba> This is Inaba from Room 101.
2. Box>>> To pay the rent,
2. Box>>> I personally deliver the payment to the landlady who lives in the neighborhood
3. Ooya>> You're always working hard to pay the rent on time.
3. Ooya>> I've been a landlady for many years, I could tell.
4. Ooya>> You're a good boy.
4. Inaba> T-thank you very much.
4. OOB>>>>> teteteee~ [T/N: I have the slightest idea what this means... maybe she's imitating a car's horn?]
P4
1. ???>>>>> It's Inaba-kun!!
1. Inaba>>> Ouch!
2. Ooya>>>> Cough
2. Box>>>>> This girl is,
2. Box>>>>> the landlady's granddaughter, Mitsuki-chan
3. Ooya>>>> Mitsuki! I've always been telling you, you have to use "-san" to address him, not "-kun"! [T/N: Trivia > "-kun" is usually used to address someone who is on the same age or quite close to you. "-san" honorific is more formal, used in polite speech]
3. Mitsuki> Eeh?! But Inaba-kun is Inaba-kun after all!
3. Box>>>>> We only meet for a short time, but for some reason, she becomes attached to me.
4. Mitsuki> Hey, Inaba-kun!
4. Mitsuki> Let's play!
4. Mitsuki> What'd be good?!
4. Inaba>>> Huh?
4. Inaba>>> Um...
6. Inaba>>> How,
6. Inaba>>> playing with dolls sounds...?
7. OOB>>>>> Ugh!
7. Inaba>>> Bluntly disagreeing expression
P5
1. Mitsuki> Well, if Inaba-kun wanna play that, it's fine with me!
1. Ooya>>>> Mitsuki!
1. Ooya>>>> I'm sorry
1. SFX>>>>> zuun (depressed)
1. Inaba>>> I-it's nothing...
P6
1. Mitsuki> Alright, we'll do marriage play!
1. Inaba>>> Heck...
1. OOB>>>>> sigh...
1. Inaba>>> Actually, you're enjoying this, aren't you?
2. Mitsuki> Inaba-kun, you also play the Amen guy.
2. Inaba>>> Amen guy?
2. Inaba>>> Aah... You mean the priest?
4. Box>>>>> In that sense,
4. Box>>>>> a monk would be "Namunamu guy", eh...?
5. Inaba>>> The groom and the bride,
5. Box>>>>> The priest doll
6. Inaba>>> do you swear,//in rich and poor,
6. Inaba>>> in rainy days and in windy days,
P7
1. Inaba>>> to love each other?
2. Mitsuki> I swear
2. Inaba>>> I swear
3. Inaba>>> You may exchange the rings
6. Inaba>>> Well then,
6. Inaba>>> the kiss of oath...
P8-9
1. Sayoko> Hold that kiss!!!
P10
3. Sayoko> As long as I'm here,
3. Sayoko> return...
3. Sayoko> please return Inaba-san to me...!!
4. Sayoko> This child is Inaba-san's...!!
4. Inaba>> It's huge!!
P11
1. Inaba>>> Um,//could it be, Sayoko-san is also paying the rent today?
1. Sayoko>> Yes.
3. Mitsuki> Who's this miss?
3. Inaba>>> That's right,
3. Inaba>>> Sayoko-san had just moved here recently, so it's your first meeting, eh?
4. Sayoko>> Pleased to meet you, Mitsuki-chan
4. Sayoko>> I'm called Kashima Sayoko.
5. Sayoko>> Here.
5. Sayoko>> The girl in the right is the Ichimatsu doll, Okiku-chan [T/N: Ichimatsu doll > Traditional Japanese doll originally made for playthings for samurai children. They sometimes have changeable clothes. Their origin dates back to Edo period (1603-1868 AD)]
5. Sayoko>> the child in the left is the Gosho doll, Ryuunosuke-kun... [T/N: Gosho doll > Traditional Japanese doll represented as semi naked babies, said to bring good luck]
7. Inaba>>> Are they yours, Sayoko-san?
7. Sayoko>> Yes
7. Inaba>>> Er, they're quite appealing, aren't they?
P12
1. Sayoko> Yes,
1. Sayoko> these children, you know,
2. Box>>>> were owned by a mother whose her two children perished in an epidemic.
2. Box>>>> She tended to these dolls as the substitutes for her children.
4. Inaba>> I see...
4. Inaba>> That's, um... [T/N: maybe you'll want to change it to: "That's regrettable" or something along that line]
5. Sayoko> Then, several years later,
5. Sayoko> that mother also contracted and passed away from the same disease.
P13
1. Box>>>>> The left behind husband had the dolls cremated alongside his wife.
4. Box>>>>> But...!
5. Box>>>>> Possibly, at that time, the mother
5. Box>>>>> might want to protect these children
8. Sayoko>> That's
8. Sayoko>> the story of these dolls
8. Mitsuki> Nooo, it's scary!
P14
2. Sayoko> I-it by no means was a scary tale...
2. Sayoko> rather, it seems that the mother and her children happily reunited ever after...
3. Inaba>> By the way, that doll...
3. Inaba>> don't you think its hair grew longer...?
3. Sayoko> T-that's just your imagination...!
4. Inaba>> Um,
4. Inaba>> Sayoko-san, do you...
5. Inaba>> want to join us playing with dolls?
5. SFX>>>> nod
5. Sayoko> Yes
P15
1. Sayoko> I,
1. Sayoko> for some reason,
1. Sayoko> has been unable to play dolls with the others in this way
1. Sayoko> I actually always wanted to do so.
2. Box>>>> My so-called "playing with dolls" was about talking with the dolls
2. Doll1>> Play
2. Doll2>> Let's play
2. Sayoko> Sorry, let me sleep a bit longer...
4. Inaba>> That's {sad}...
5. Inaba>> It just, um... I'm sorry, but
5. Inaba>> could you put away these dolls?
5. Inaba>> Mitsuki-chan,
6. Inaba>> she seems frightened with them...
6. SFX>>>> shock
P16
2. Sayoko>> I'm sorry, I'm sorry...//you two stay here for a while, okay...
2. Box>>>>> "The dolls I brought appear scary to the others"
2. Box>>>>> Sayoko-san, who wasn't conscious of that matter, is shocked by their responses.
3. Inaba>>> There, Mitsuki-chan.
3. Inaba>>> Sayoko-san's dolls are no more.
3. Inaba>>> Let's invite Sayoko-san to play with us, okay?
5. SFX>>>>> smile
6. Mitsuki> Okay...
P17
1. Mitsuki> As long as she won't scare me...
P18
1. SFX>>>> jolt
2. Inaba>> Huh?
2. Inaba>> What's wrong, Sayoko-san? Suddenly making such scary face...
2. OOB>>>> Huh?!
3. Sayoko> No, um... look!//That Mitsuki-chan is sitting on Inaba-san's lap, won't it be, say: a serious burden? [T/N: I think "burden" is the right word here. Her sentence could refer to both the weight of Mitsuki and the normal male reaction in such situation during his puberty XD]
3. Inaba>> Ah, it'll be alright.
3. Inaba>> Mitsuki-chan is light, you know?
4. Sayoko> No, um...
4. Sayoko> I didn't mean the weight... [T/N: actually > "That's not it."]
5. Inaba>> Well then, it's time to cut the wedding cake.
5. Inaba>> This symbolizes the start of your cooperation.
5. Box>>>> Ugh...
5. Box>>>> Children are amazing
5. Box>>>> she easily crossed the wall I could only dream to cross
P19
2. Thought> How enviable...
2. Thought> I also want to sit on there...!
3. Mitsuki> Okay, let's do doctor play next
3. Inaba>>> <Eh?!> The marriage play is over already?!
4. Mitsuki> Let's see... Inaba-kun is the patient
4. Mitsuki> I'm the nurse
4. Inaba>>> You decided that already...?
5. Sayoko>> A-and me?
5. Mitsuki> Sayoko-san... the doctor!
7. SFX>>>>> cough cough
8. Mitsuki> Inaba-kun, today, what might be your complaints?
8. SFX>>>>> cough cough
8. Inaba>>> It seems I caught a slight cold... I feel feverish...
P20
- nothing to TL -
P21
1. Doll> That doesn't look good (ventriloquize)
2. Doll> Alright, for the time being,
3. Doll> Open your clothes, Inaba-san
P22

2. Kanji>> Grudge
3. Sayoko> This one is scary, right?//I understand it somehow, that's why I don't bring it out.//Still, how could you say this ventriloquist Billy is scary?
3. Inaba>> Sayoko-san,
4. Inaba>> your ventriloquizing skill amazed me.
4. Inaba>> Just as much as how you possess these kind of dolls.
4. Inaba>> Especially, that straw doll.
5. Inaba>> How did such thing get into your hand?
7. Sayoko> Um...
7. Sayoko> May I really tell the story?
P23
2. Inaba> E-err...

6. Box>>>> Uuuu...
6. Box>>>> I can't shake off this awkwardness... [T/N: actually > for sometimes now, I feel this "completely can't get along" feelings]
6. Box>>>> Please believe me. I don't have any ill intentions...and yet, the atmosphere's getting worse and worse...
6. Box>>>> I'm in shock...//That Mitsuki-chan gets to hug Inaba-san, I'm totally... totally envious...
P25
1. Box>>> A-
1. Box>>> at any rate
2. SFX>>> dum dum dum
2. Box>>> I need to do something about this atmosphere...!
