<Slam!!>
Bunny: Count!!

Tadasuke: ONE!
<Bang>

Tadasuke: TWO!
Ouka: What a cheap trick...

<let-go>
Tadasuke: THREE!!


Page 03-1
Children: Hurray!!
Children: Bunny-chan won!!
*Children* yay-! yay-!
*Ouka* Hey...
Ouka: I got free at TWO! You idiot!!
Tadasuke: So...sorry, I went with the flow...
/* flow might also work. but this is good*/ /# indeed. flow is better #/

Ouka: Quit playing around!!
<swish> <swish> <swish>
*Hina* Please Stop, Ouka-san!!
*Bunny* Thank you, everyone!
*Children* Yay- Bunny-chan

*Lady* Thank you for your help
*Merchant* My pleasure, please come again. /* I think this sounds more English-like, though what was before was understandable enough */
*family* Hey, smile!

Customer1: I can put this in the truck too, right?
Hina: Thank you for helping us even though you are a customer...{sorry}


Page 03-2
Customer1: It's fine! Getting involved like this...right? /* a bit tricky, the way I understand it, he's basically asking for affirmation by the other two that it's nice to participate like this. Anyway, this sort of makes it come across better. */ /# I was thought to avoid “being” if possible, so ;) #/
Customer2: It's a fan's pleasure.
Customer3: That's right
Hina: Thank you so much.

Customer3: Rather than that...

Customer3: Is that referee okay?
Ouka: How can there be a referee that can't count properly!!
<whack> <snap>
Ouka: You are putting shame to the "Ooka echizen"(大岡越前) name!!

Tadasuke: SHUT UP!!

Tadasuke: It can't be helped!!
Tadasuke: I'm just an amateur who's being forced to work!!

Ouka: Don't be full of yourself
*Ouka* Ask for forgiveness
*Tadasuke* ouchhhhhhh
*Tadasuke* I have nothing to do with "Ooka echizen"(大岡越前)


Page 04-1
Customer3: But, it was pretty bad...
*Customer3* it ruined the match
Customer1: You should get a proper referee.
Hina: Tadasuke-san is working and living with us...
Hina: because of a slight circumstance.
Customer2: Wha~t! If that's how you find your staff, I wish I was hired. /* hopefully I didn't mess this one up, could you check and see if it makes sense with the original? */
/# I’m wondering whether “find” should be past or present tense, but I think it can go either way... #/

Hina: He's not really hired.... Tadasuke-san is ....um...
Itsuka: He's Ouka's "Manservant"!!

*Customers* I'm so jealous....
Tadasuke: What?

Customer3: Ouka-san! Please make us manservants too!!
*Customer2* I did student pro-wrestling!!
*Customer1* I'll work hard!!
Ouka: See! Unlike you who just complains, there are people who offer themselves willingly!

Tadasuke: Then, why don't you make them your manservants?
*Tadasuke* Just as they wish /* hmm, was thinking that maybe something like "just as they wish" would be better */ /# oki-doki #/


Page 04-2
Ouka: Let's see~~ At least they'd be more helpful than Tadasuke.
*Customers* Yeah!!
Customers: We'll do our best!!

Tadasuke: Then, that means I'm free, right!
{Tadasuke} phew- thank god

{Ouka} If that's the case
Ouka: Then there's no reason to keep you at our place.
Tadasuke: I'll leave even if you don't tell me to!
*Tadasuke* Wherever I go, it'd be better than a dog house


Page 05-1
Hina: Tadasuke-san!!
Hina: Ouka-san!
Ouka: Just leave him alone!

Ouka: Come on, if we don't dismantle it quickly, the sun's going to set
Hina: Bu...but

Bartender: -so, what are you going to do from now on?

Bartender: You can come to my place if you want ♥
*Bartender* You are very welcome, Tadasuke-chan ♥
Tadasuke: No thank you. /* lol */

Bartender: But...you’ve got nothing, right? {I'm worried...} /* don't have anything -> kind of could imply a state of health; maybe something like "you're all on your own" would work? */
/# how about “you’ve got nothing?” #/
Tadasuke: {well} I'll figure something out.

Tadasuke: I ended up there(El Palacio)
Tadasuke: simply as a matter of consequence.

Tadasuke: Ah!
Bartender: Hmm? {What's wrong?} /* Why seems kind of out of place... maybe something like Hmm? */

Tadasuke: I left...
Tadasuke: My money at the dojo...
Bartender: This one's on the house! {no big deal}


Page 05-2
Tadasuke: N-No, I'll go get it!!
<clang> <clang>

<vrroooom>
*Lady* Thank you very much-

Tadasuke: Since I said I quit just a moment ago...
Tadasuke: it's embarrassing to show my face....

Tadasuke: I'll climb from outside and get in through the terrace...

<cover>

<quick>

<peek>


Page 06-1
Ouka: Alright, you guys...

*Ouka* You guys are tired, right? Let's get some tea and rest.
*Customers* Thank you s~o much!!
Tadasuke: Quite a contrast to the way I was treated... {stop goofying around!!} /* Their treatment is a big contrast to mine -> nah, treatment doesn't really work here; I tried using a nice expression for it, but it's a bit of a difficult one */ /# Agreed. #/

*Tadasuke* meh, whatever
Tadasuke: Anyway, I'll use this moment... /* meh. works */ /# yeah, it’s a bit awkward...#/
<rustle> <rustle>

Tadasuke: if I climb from here... {no one will see me}

Tadasuke: Careful
Tadasuke: Careful...

Itsuka: What are you doing, Tadasuke?

Itsuka: He-y, Everyone... {argh}
Tadasuke: WHa- Stop, stop! Itsuka-chan!!

Tadasuke: I just came to get my stuff back... /* removed back, since a) repeated b) not really essential */
Tadasuke: but it's a bit embarrassing to see everyone....um....
Tadasuke: so could you bring me my stuff without anyone noticing? /* everyone could also work, but I think anyone makes more sense */
Tadasuke: Itsuka-chan....

Itsuka: - that's what he said. /* lol */

Bunny: Tadasuke seems to be serious.
Hina: Ouka-san...we need to do something!!
*Itsuka* Wow, you guys are eating something good.
*Customer1* Ah, here you go
Ouka: How annoying.

Police1: {what?} Investigation request?

Tadasuke: Yeah, can you do it?
Tadasuke: For this appearance. /* mot too sure what that means */ /# or is countenance better? He’s referring to his face. (to find his real home) #/

Tadasuke: You see, I have amnesia.
Police1: ......

Police2: Ah, Tadasuke.

Police2: You are Ooka Tadasuke, right?
Police2: The referee at El Palacio.
Police1: Ahh-.
Tadasuke: Nah, I left there already....

Police2: What are you talking about! Ouka-chan is supposed to be you guardian....
Police2: So what are you going to do if you get in trouble and make Ouka-chan

angry? {huh?}

Police2: We can't protect you.
Tadasuke: Please protect me.


Page 08-2
*Tadasuke* Ha...

*Tadasuke* So me being Ooka Taduske, /* some ppl might complain about this one, but I find it perfectly fine */
*Tadasuke* Is certified by the country....

*Tadasuke* Ooka Tadasuke is El Palacio's referee,
*Tadasuke* and Ouka's Manservent...

*Tadasuke* As opposed to that...
*Tadasuke* the real me is...

Page 11-2
Tadasuke: No way... you came to bring me back?
*Ouka* What?
Ouka: I found you accidentally while jogging .
Ouka: Why would the master have to do such a thing for you?

Tadasuke: {a master...} I'm no longer in a master-servant relationship with you!

Tadasuke: You already have three skillful newcomers. /* canadian spelling, doesn't really matter */ /# Canada spells it differently?? #/
Ouka: Those three already left.

Ouka: I can't make precious fans be my servants.
