Nishimura: (That’s a huge one!)

(You caught an amazing fish, Natsume!)
(Let’s take a photo to show how big it is! Oh, and we should put a box of sigarretes next to it for scale!)
(Do you even have that!?)
(Ah, no… Let’s use this then!)

Natsume: (Are you here to fish too, Matoba-san!?)
Matoba: (No, I was just taking a walk nearby. I have no interest in fishing)

Matoba: (You’re all wet)
Natsume: (I just fell into the river…)
Matoba: (Let me lend you a towel then)

Natsume (…)
towel: salmon carp mackerel tuna
Matoba: (I have some warm tea for you too)

Matoba: (Here you go)
cup: sardine eel shrimp
Natsume: (He’s totally interested in fishing…!)

Title: Kitamoto’s lunch

Kitamoto: (Touko-san’s lunch looks so good)

Natsume: (Doesn’t your sister make them too, Kitamoto?)
Kitamoto: (Well, the thing is that she’s really into kyaraben lately…)

Kitamoto: (When I said I was going to go fishing, she must’ve tried to make an eel-shaped one)
It’s just a long sushi roll.
sfx: munch munch
Natsume&Nishimura: (That scared me…)


Translator’s note: kyaraben is an elaborate style of lunch boxes with food shaped like cute animals and characters.
