01 -Damnit! We never should've climbed this mountain! Don't fall asleep, Naoya! -If you sleep, you'll die here! -I-I'm fine
-But mom...this headband's so thick I can't see anything... -You're already asleep!? Wake up!! -Ah, but it's okay now...I drilled holes in the front so I can see -It's NOT OKAY!! open your eyes!! Hey? A person? Hello! We need help!
bold right: Masuda kousuke Chapter 173 / The Sleeping Yeti title by masuda kousuke
lower text and bubbles: lower bold - Don't worry, he's not nude bubble left of that - Oh but, because I have sunglasses on in front of that, my field of view is all dark again...*mumble mumble* bubble w/ bold text - A YETI!!
02 -Thanks, Yeti-man...At least we're safe from the storm now -I never expected you to be so nice! I thought you'd attack us or something -Ah, I see...the reason everything is dark isn't the sunglasses, it's because I drilled my eyes out trying to open the holes...*mumble mumble* -Uhouho U~~hohouho! UhohohUWUUWUho!
-I think you better wake up your friend, or lest he die -YOU CAN TALK!? WHY DID YOU JUST "UHOHOHO"?? no bold bubble on lower half - Because if I didn't "Uho" once in a while I wouldn't sound like a real yeti -YOU SOUND LIKE A GORILLA!
-In retrospect, I regret not "uho"-ing more when I found you guys outside -There's a cave nearby -THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO REPENT OVER!!
-Unnngh...It's noisy in here, you guys woke me up -Ah! Naoya you're up! Stop complaining, you would've died! -Oh, he's awake...
-Uhouhouho hohoho! -G-GORILLA! -SEE? I TOLD YOU!!
03 -I hereby swear to never uhouho again...for the rest of my life! -So you mean this repentant Yeti saved our lives? -But we're not safe yet. We can still freeze to death here
-Allow me to tell you "ho"ay to be safe...oh, I said ho... -Allow me to teach you the means to be safe -THERE'S NO HO IN WAY! -It doesn't sound Gorilla-ish? -ABSOLUTELY NOT! (t/n - the joke is "houhou" = means, method, way, so it actually does contain hou. the kids respond, "that hou is fine!")
-My experience has taught me that these storms let up in a couple hours. -Then would be a good time to be carried off this mountain
-But even for a Yeti like me, carrying two adults is plain impossible -THEN WHY DID YOU SAY CARRIED!? -Well, I was just trying to build my strong yeti appeal
-I took that as you're no stronger than an ordinary person... -Oh? Then I'll never try to appeal off my yeti strength again! -Anyway, since I can't carry you I'll guide you two back down -The only problem is whether or not you two can stay awake
-If you sleep in this cold, you'll die...Ah, even I'm getting tired... -Sleep...means...death... -YOU'D DIE TOO!?
04 -Not to worry, us Yetis are used to the cold -Do you have any idea just how well we can tolerate it? -Dunno...
-Our tolerance to the cold rivals that of the Hokkaidan peoples!! (t/n - for those who don't know, hokkaido is the northernmost part of japan, separate island) -AGAIN LIKE AN ORDINARY PERSON!?!
-Oh really...? I'll never try to appeal on the basis of my cold tolerance again...(grumble) -Aw, now he's muttering again!! He's going to fall asleep!! -If you die, we'll never make it home!!
-Don't worry, I won't sleep...eh? This newspaper is different from a normal one... -He's talking in his sleep!! Right? It's gotta be! -Yes it is!! Hurry up and wake him before it's too late!
-What about this milk...oh, it's normal, thank god... -WHAT ARE YOU DOING! WAKE UP!! -But...I have to return my empty bottle...No...I don't wanna! -JUST GIVE IT BACK!
-And you too mom, give me back my sunglasses...without them, I'll never be popular with the girls! -YOU'RE ASLEEP TOO!? -YOU WENT STRAIGHT TO SLEEP WITHOUT ANY TRANSITION!!
05 -Oh? you're going to use this bottle to make glasses for your summer school project? -Yay...these milk-bottle glasses restored mom's vision...! -YOU'RE BOTH IN THE SAME DREAM!? WAKE UP!!!! -Why are they so sleepy anyway?! Now I can't afford to fall sleep at any cost!
-One hour later -Now I can't afford...to ever get over wearing briefs...mumble mumble -TAKAYAMA! WAKE UP! WE'RE LEAVING! -eh...?
-Huh? I...fell asleep?? -We fell asleep quite some time ago, -but you looked pretty sleep-deprived so we tried to give you some rest -The storm let up
-YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LET ME SLEEP! I COULD'VE DIED!! -But you had such a peaceful expression... -I was on the seat of my pants, waiting to see if you were going to survive or not -YOU COULD'VE ENDED THE SUSPENSE AND JUST WOKEN ME UP!
-We'd better get moving, it's a long road ahead -How long to the foot of the mountain? -Judging by a typical Yeti, I'd say 5 hours -With you guys in tow, I'd say...
-A little over 5 hours -IS THERE ANY PART OF YOU ABOVE AVERAGE!? -Eeee~eeh?? Calling me average again, are you?
06 -Oh, I'll never brag about my physical strength again! I've been nothing but shamed... -He's sulking again! Get over it already! Break the cycle! -Cheer up and show us how to get home! (t/n - there was a running gag on "sotsugyo", which means to graduate, get over, grow out of. It was used in this line, when he was dreaming, and when the boy said he would've died, he actually said he would've "graduated from living"...but it's hard to convey this in english so in the end i couldn't preserve the joke)
-Then, tell me everything I'm above average in, one by one -WE DON'T HAVE TIME! -one by one? that's impossible! If anything, you're probably only above average in one area...
-That's too bad...I'm going home -Ah!! Now he's upset!! (t/n - へそ曲げ/hesomage) -Please, wait! -It may be impossible to name your special traits but we promise to reward you!
-Don't say impossible, that hurts even more -As a reward, you'll do anything i want? -Y-yeah, if we're able, that is -What do you want?
-I want to see just once...where wives stash her savings! (t/n - hesokuri) -You want to see what!? -T-that's kinda hard for us to handle...
-Sorry...I really meant to say I've always wanted to sleep in a warm bed at least once -Oh, that's it? -It may look like I'm married or dating someone, but i'm actually--well, it's not that I never ever had a chance to try, but-- -THAT'S ENOUGH INFORMATION!!
07 -He can stay at your place, Takayama -WHY MINE? WHY NOT YOURS!? -Well, my mom lives at home, and... -MINE DOES TOO! AND DAD, AND SIS!
-Sister? -WHAT'S WITH HIS REACTION!? -DAMNIT! HE'S ALREADY DECIDED ON MY PLACE!
-Oh, I can't wait! I'm not talking about your sister, that is -It's hard being a Yeti. Winters are just too cold to sleep comfortably, -Summers are way too hot, and bugs keep making noise during the fall... -And spring's kinda hard too... -WHY CAN'T YOU SLEEP DURING SPRING?! -it's just...hard
-That night -Yes! We made it! -This is my house -Uho! Very nice! But it's already this late...
-Well that's because no sooner than you started off with "Us Yetis know mountains like the back of our hands" than you went rolling right down the slope like some cartoon character! -I'LL NEVER BRAG ABOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OF MOUNTAINS AGAIN! -I thought I was headed for the longest nap ever until you guys saved me
-I'M BACK (from eternal rest) -Ah! He's back from mountain climbing! -What a strange way of saying hello!!
08 -You're late!! We were so worried!! ...WHAT IS THAT?! -Eh? Oh, uh, I completely forgot to think of how to explain this... -What do you mean you didn't think ahead! What would you have done if they were contacted by the insurance company? Repent for what you've done! -Stop it with the repentance! Get over this apology thing! -Then you stop "getting over" everything!! (t/n - actually, "graduating", same running gag)
-U-u-u, he's a... -He's Naoya!! Naoya I tell you! box: Naoya -HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HIM! -Well...uh...the mountain was so cold that he grew lots of hair for protection...yeah
-You mean Naoya had the power to do something that insane? -Don't you remember? In elementary school he broke a leg but still went hiking! -Yeah, now that you mention it...
-To think that we've been underestimating Naoya's power all this time... -But I'm disappointed in him. Just because he grew hair all over his body, he thinks he has the right to walk around nude? -You're right
-You're the worst, Naoya!! -I'll sleep on the floor so you take the bed -Uho! It's finally me and a fluffy bed!!
09 -UHOOOOI! -YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT JUMPING ON IT!! -YOU'RE GOING TO BREAK THE SPRINGS!
-Humans are so lucky...getting to sleep in these fluffy beds day in and out -I'm turning out the lights... -Wait! Who said we need to sleep yet! -Eh?
-You still haven't introduced me to your sister yet -What are you talking about! I have no intention to! -Is that how you treat your savior? Show some appreciation and grant my request
-No! And she hasn't come home yet anyway -WHAT!? Exactly what is that young girl doing out there at a time like this!! -This is inexcusable!
-But...I can't say I don't have a thing for party animals! uho -YOU'RE CREEPING ME OUT!
-Being up there in the mountains, we hardly get to meet people...I'll practically settle for anyone at this point -PLEASE NO MORE! GO TO SLEEP ALREADY! -I'm totally beat...I need sleep now!!
10 -Worn out from a pathetic mountain like that? Wimp! I'm not sleepy in the least bit -Yeah, I'm totally beat too, but I'm so nervous from coming to another person's home I can't sleep -You're beat? Then why'd you call me a wimp!!
-I thought showing off my alertness would look cool, but instead revealed my weakness...I'll never appeal off of my-- -I GET IT ALREADY JUST GO TO SLEEP!!
-Psst...is there a girl you like? -I'M NOT GOING TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT IT! GOOD NIGHT!
-Let's...PILLOW FIGHT! -GEEZ ARE YOU A FRIGGIN' MIDDLE SCHOOLER?! -STOP CAUSING ME TROUBLE IN MY OWN HOME!
-one hour later -I caaaannnnt sleeeeep
11 -I think I know why...I always sleep on one kind of pillow so it's hard for me to get used to something new -Aw, man...why didn't you tell me sooner? Just what kind of pillow do you usually use
-My arms -THEN PUT YOUR ARMS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!! -WHY ARE YOU BURYING THEM UNDER THE COVERS!?
-Ah~ this is it! I can fall asleep now... -Aaaah...my eyelids are as heavy as Buddha... (t/n - that's what it lit says. not sure of what it's referring to) -Wow, arms seem to work almost too well!! -Want to try it too? On my arm pillow...? -QUIT GROSSING ME OUT! -GA-TAN
-I heard something next door... -Sis probably made it home, finally...
-NOW I'M WIIIIDE AWAKE!
-WAIT YETI! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?! -Damn! He saw me! -What's wrong with living true to my Yeti instincts!?
12 -STOP! MY SISTER HATES ANIMALS ANYWAY! -Move now, or else! I won't hold back! -Wha?! Damn, kid! You don't budge! Are you a Buddha?! (t/n -again, don't get this joke) -WHY DO YOU KEEP EQUATING BUDDHA TO HEAVY!? -I'M JUST PUSHING LIGHTLY! -I can't even make it 1mm closer! Instead, I'm moving backwards slowly!! Wwhy?! -IT'S NOT HARD TO UNDERSTAND! YOU'RE WEAK!!
-Am I...really that weak? -Y-yes...? -Are we Yetis...really no stronger than an average person? -Well, except for the hair...
-W-what's wrong? -You mean, I'm not even Yeti-like? I'm just a Gorilla? -Pretty much. But don't get depressed about it... -I'll never be able to marry!!
-YOU FELL FOR IT! -Shit!! You little--!! -You're a fool, boy! I already came to terms with my averageness! I'm an average gorilla for all I care! -Well no, because ordinary people don't have--
(this is a separate panel even though the bubbles kinda overlap) -It won't matter once I'm married! Horya! -Because we pledge for better or worse!!
-Huh? (her suit says empress on the sleeve. the back of the jacket is hilarious, regardless of how complicated it looks it's just ateji for "yoroshiku ne" (夜露死苦根) = the kind greeting when meeting people, like "nice to meet you".)
13 -Eh? Uh..your sister...is a delinquent? -Yep...the female kind... -Seriously? Um, sorry...I didn't mean it -Didn't you just insist you'd take anyone? -Those were just words, you see... -M-m-m--
-MONSTER!! -I mean, if my feelings were that strong then, yes, but right now I'm looking for someone a bit more, you know, chaste, so GYAAAA -Too late!! jacket: 恨仁血輪 = konnichiwa. I don't know the other word, can't tell what 2nd char is
-The next morning -Huh, I must have been knocked out until now
-I guess it's back to the mountain, then -Yeah, be seeing you... -It's sure going to be lonely...I was kind of giving up there yesterday but now that I think of it, this is my only shot, so I kinda want a woman like that... -SHE'S MY SISTER!! HELL NO!
-What a thing to say to the person who saved your life... -I let you sleep in a bed so we're even!!
-Now that I think about it... -Crap, he's coming back!
-Since I was unconscious for most of the night, I never really did sleep -So you never held your end of the bargain! You owe me tonight too! -I GOT IT! YOU'RE MORE ANNOYING THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON!! bold: His idiosyncrasy is finally found!

Interestingly, omoshiroi is lit. a white face.) うん・・・いやそんなにｳｹﾃないよ！そんなんで腹よじれてたら人生笑いっぱなしだよ！ -Yeah?...No, not THAT funny...look, if I laughed at stupid puns like that I'd have to laugh at everything you say!

-DAD DREW ERO MANGA!? -Oh no, I said it! -Kukuku...You can't defeat my grudge of never having made a girlfriend in my life!! -It'll take far more than holy water to defeat me!!
-If I knew it was going to turn out like this, I would have never become an exorcist... -Well why did you? -At first, I was following my parent's footsteps in taking over their supermarket
-Because there was such a problem with shoplifting, I hired a lot of guards and soon there was no space for customers to enter the store top bubble: there's so many! no bubble: I'm not sure why, but the store went belly-up lower bubble: Isn't that the reason why!?
-All we had left was the vast amounts of salt in inventory -I always loved buying more salt... -You only stocked salt!?
08 -In order to put all that salt to good use, the Exorcist Ekura Shirito was born! -You used ordinary salt as purifying salt!? -Yes, exactly

-Go look at Hideki! I have no idea what to do! -He's really possessed... -HIGIIIIII -If holy water didn't work...then use salt -Didn't I tell you it doesn't!? -Oh...really? You sure?
-It's about as effective as the salt outside the door!* (t/n - morijio, salt in a bowl that's put outside to ward off spirits) -Then...what should I do? -Maybe read the bible? -HIGIIII!!! I wanna go on a date! -I'm not leaving this body until I go out with a young lady!!

-Hurry up and pass on! I feel like I'm about to go any moment... -What are you saying?! -Poor Hideki. What a terrible first date...
-Ah!! book: Complete guide to Kyoto
-That one's already passing on!?! -My wish was to go on my school trip...walking around Kyoto kind of granted that wish... -Ehhhhhh!!!
-Since we're just outside of the city, I think I can hold out a bit longer -But we're almost at Kiyomizu temple...I think it'll shoot me out of this body like a rocket -Lucky -Hey!! Stop!! -Hideki's spirit isn't satisfied ye--

-Hey, babe...let's do another date sometime! -Promise me another and I'll pass on! -A...a.a...so scary! What's that creepy face!? Gross!!

-I'm only in elementary school, and I had my first date!? -All I remember is picking at out boogers at home! -See? Told you! -Hey, Mr. Exorcist...
-Thanks. I can pass on without regrets -Higiiiiii~ I can say the same. Thank you, Exorcist!
-Even though I just started this because I had extra salt...fufu -Maybe...I can keep doing this a little longer...
-What? Dad's really a pervert!? -UGYAA!! No!! It's a misunderstanding! -That was just...shounen manga! -I made it because I wanted to enter for the Tezuka Award*! Papa always wanted to be a mangaka! Honest!!
-Being too late to back out now, he entered the Tezuka competition, but was rejected because his work was too lewd -I guess manga isn't for me... -Dear, Mr. Yamamoto said his wife is possessed! Bold: ...no duh!!

-Boss! Isn't it supposed to be "Are you ready?" -Well, yes...I used to say that too bottom: Must be a generation gap
-NOT YEEEET HAVE I FOUND MY BEAAAARINGS! -bearings!?
15 -Boss! Did that kid just say not yet!? -Yes, he did -Why did he change it in the middle...?
-Well, usually you answer "not yet" to the question "are you ready?".... -What an excellent deduction, Boss! -YOU DONE YEEEEET!?
-I SAAAAID NOT YET, SO THERE'S NO NEEEEED FOR YOU TO KEEEP ASKING "YOU DOOONE YET" EVERY SEEECOND IS THEEERE!? -See! It's completely different! -You're right! Sorry!
-I guess children's games change with time as well... -Yes...makes you kind of sad, doesn't it -YOOOU'VE GOTTA BE DOOONE NOW!
-Well, look! At least the hiding spots haven't changed much... -You're right...hahaha! How's he going to say "ready"?
-IF YOU REALLY WANT TO FIND ME, THEN BE MY GUEST! -What!? That's not adorable at all!
16 -Let's get going, Kusugi-kun -The rest should be obvious. The game will finish when the kid who's it finds the other one -Ah!! Hold it, boss!!
-The kid who's it is standing at a really bizzare angle! -Yossssh...I'm gonna find you! -When did he do that!? What's going to happen!? -Isn't this plain 'ol hide & seek!?
-I'd really like to find you, but -It would sure be a shame if I stepped out of this cool pose -Why's he so hung up with that stance!?
-Huh? What pose?
-GOTCHA!! -Dang it! -I fell for your trick!
-I see...it was a plan to lure him out -Hide & seek sure has come a long way... -No matter what age, hide & seek will always be hide & seek

box: Athos bubble: What great weather! A fine day to train our swords!
-Mm. I've been getting a bit rusty lately box: Porthos
-Oh I know! -Let's go search for white truffles!! box: Chotos
02 -What are you saying?! -Today's a perfect day for training! box: d'Artagnan
-Truffles!? -They're not only expensive, but extremely hard to find... -Quit whining lower bubbles: -Hey Porthos, do you know these two? -Nope...excuse me gentlemen, who are you?
-One of the Three Musketeers! -Chotos! -There isn't one by that name!!
-There's no Chotos!! Who're you!? -Chotos! -Uh, we don't know you either! You in the white hat!!
-Who am I? D'artagman! -D'artagman!? -You know, the boy who formed an unbreakable bond of friendship to the three musketeers! -We don't know a d'artagman...
03 -Of course I know D'artagnan...not d'artagman... -D'artagMAN!! -What!? Stop acting like we know you! uh, chotos...?
-The famous musketeers are Athos, Porthos, and Chotos! -Quit making things up! -That look in his eyes is creepy!
-The other musketeer is Aramis! (below pic is aramis) -And our friend is D'artagnan (same, below pic)
-Right, and I'm the partner Chotos! -And I'm your friend, D'artagman! -What the hell! This is going nowhere! -Just leave!
-I dunno...their persistence makes me feel as if we might be wrong...it's strange... -It's not strange! Pull yourself together, Porthos! -They're complete strangers no matter how you cut it!
-But...if you just change the hair...and the face...they look the same! -It could be we've learned the wrong names all along -Snap out of it! Am I going to have to hold my own here!?
-Damn...who are these people! why are they trying to pass off as our friends? -Why not just impersonate them with their real names!? -I don't understand! What should I do!?
-Normally, I would think you should welcome your friends... -Yeah! I think so too! -Well I don't!! Posing as friends...faces I don't know...Fine! Since it's come to this...
04 -What are planning to do, Athos? -Make them fence one another! -I see, once we observe their skills we'll know immediately if they're real or not -Besides, WHITE truffles!? They're the rarest! -Quit whining!
-Listen, if you're the real d'artagnan, then you should be able to defeat that fake Aramis in a flash -I'm the real d'artagman! -Okay fine. If you're the real d'artagman, the you should be able to...
-No wait...just how strong is d'artagman...? -I'm not an Aramis fake! I'm the real Chotos! -Okay fine, if you're the real chotos, then you should be able to defeat that fake d'artagman in a flash -I'm the REAL d'artagman! -Ah...yeah...uh
-I meant the real d'artagman who's posing as the fake d'artagnan -and the fake aramis is really the real ara...i mean chotos...
-ENOUGH!!
-BEGIN!! -you're crying... -C'mon, you fake Aramis!
-Heheheeee~~ I'm gonna gut your entrails! -I look forward to killing you! -Chotos is truly frightening!!
05 -You piece of crap, how dare you! But still, if you really want white truffles, you shouldn't be wasting your time here training... -quit whining! -d'artagman has a foul mouth too!
-He licked his sword too!! -What kind of fight is this!? When do both sides lick their swords!?
-Here I GOOOO -Gross!!
-Take THIS -OW!!
-Why you little sh--!! -Y-yeouch!!
06 -THEY'RE NOT USING SWORDS!!! -what a surprise!
-Hey you two! You're just using your fists! -No wonder! Since we can't tell anything about their skills, Athos has turned into nothing but a screaming face!
-Now they started biting each other! Oh no, now they can't use swords at all!
-yoaai... (=weak) -yoaai...! -Ah! Chotos is saying something!! Is he going to admit defeat?
-shoppai... (=salty, pun) -This isn't the time to be saying that!!
-yoaai... -yoaai... -You don't need to tell us it's salty too!!
-yokkaichi (pun) -What the heck!? -Why's he naming an area in the Mie prefecture in the middle of battle!?
-Nghuaa...I have...no regrets -Me too...no regrets -Ah!! It's a draw! -What's with this anti-climactic ending!? -You two didn't even use swords!
07 -So you figured it out, huh...I'm just an unemployed kid who always looked up to the three musketeers -I thought that since my name was close to d'artagnan...i could become your close friend too... -That's what this was all about? Hey!! Your bleeding tremendously! -That's because...I lost several teeth on that last bite...
-Me too...I'm just an unemployed kid who looked up to the three musketeers... -I wanted to be one...and since my name was Chotos...I thought... -Chotos isn't anything like our names!!
-Well, well...this has turned out to be a colossal waste of time -But surely you realized that the real two would eventually come back here -Yeah, your story would've never worked then
-Sir D'artagnan? He won't be coming back -He dashed off after I told him his lover Constance was floating on top of the Seine river... -Your lies are terrible! ...and you're bleeding terribly
-As for Sir Aramis...when I told him the other three of you went on a journey underground, he ran off half in tears hoping to catch up -Your lies are extremely cruel as well!
-Aaah...I wanted...to be...a musketeer -Me to...just for a day ..to live as one...
08 -The sky sure is blue -Guess it's back to being unemployed...
-Young fools! Just find work that you want to do! Get a job! -If you can't be a musketeer, surely there's something else you like to do? -Like to do? -hmm
-I like truffles... -Me too...especially white ones -Even though you're unemployed, you want food worth a fortune!? Are you crazy!?
-Well, whatever...if you like them then why not work hunting for them? -But can someone like me really find them? -huh?
-C-could it be?! -No way!! -It's not possible!
-This is a dog's... -I thought it's supposed to smell! -I guess I'll go get D'artagnan over at the river, while you can follow the trail of tears after Aramis -Was he really crying that badly!?
09 -The next day -Yesterday was terrible!
-After searching everywhere I finally found my girlfriend eating tangerines under the kotatsu... box: d'artagnan -This country even has kotatsu!? -I'm glad she was fine...but...she ate tangerine after banana after tangerine!
box: aramis -If it hadn't been for Athos following my trail of tears on horseback, -I was just about to travel to the center of the earth! -and then I would have hung myself in front of everyone... -Y-you were offended that badly?! how frightening...
-Well, what great weather today! box: Pikulus -Why don't we go dig up some potatoes, gentlemen?
-Another one showed up again!?!
-Eh? Who am I? The great musketeer, Pikulus! -You know, the three musketeers, Athos, Pikulus, and Aramis! *Gnwahrrg!* -Where is Porthos!? Spit it out!
-Somewhere in the woodlands of Bourgogne -Where are you, Athos!? -Calm down!! Your mustache isn't ugly! -Don't kill yourself, Athos!!

-I have to find the subterranean people! -Otherwise, who in the world would be friends with a useless old man like me? -How pitiful!
-No confidence? Why don't you have any confidence at that age? -Throughout your whole life you haven't found any? What have you been doing!? -Well...I played a lot of pachinko...

-Deeper underground... -Your highness, we have a problem -The underground nation above us has begun searching for us! -So they finally figured it out! Those blockheads! -Search all you want!
-But still, since we too believe that there's a nation even further underground than us, -We don't have the right to judge them since we sent out our own search party
-Deeper deeper underground -Your majesty! The nation above ground -has started searching for us!
-This is bad! Those balls of lard! -Go ahead and search, you imbeciles!
12 -There's probably no nation deeper down than us -No, definitely not...If there was anyone who even wanted to try, they must have nothing better to do
-Aw, shucks. Just another dead end... -I guess there is no country underground -There isn't, stupid!! -I'm tired. Time for some pachinko

-Eh? Legend? The heck is that? -Wha? Are you kidding me?? Hurry, over here! -He's the living class change legend!
-He has the devil's luck! No matter what, he always ends up in a class full of beautiful girls! -Because he's never had a girlfriend for even one second, he's also known as "the Girlfriend hunter!!" Not a single person has ever gotten better classes than him!
-What kind of pathetic legend is that?!
-Pardon me -his breath stinks! -Ooh! The legend is reading the list!! -We're going to get to see his power!!

-Now to check that the rest of the class is girls!! VWOOOOOOO!!! ehehe -What the hell is he doing? -He's making sure his class contains all the beautiful girls in one glance! That's the "Legend Search"!!
-HELL YEAAAAAAH!!! -He raised his right hand to the sky! -That means he must have made it into a class full of girls again!! -Wow, a true legend!!
-That's his sign of victory! The "Legend Right"!! -What amazing spirit in the face of the final class change! His voice wasn't muffled in the slightest! 昨年までは声こもってたの！ こもりにこもってたわ！ -But he's always had a muffled voice -Like he's speaking through a pillow!
-It's too early to be announcing victory... -What!? Who's there!?
-Your class...seems to have a lot of delinquents!! ku ku ku -Y-you're ...Isobe!!!
04 -Oh no! That's Isobe, "the man afraid of nothing"! -He always ends up in a class without delinquents! He's the #2 class changer!! -But why is he taking on the Legend!? -I'm wondering why you know so much about this, Kumami...
-That attitude...I take it you've ended up in another class that's delinquent-free? -But you really think that's enough to defeat me? -Ku ku...you're right, that alone isn't enough... -But your class...it's missing the 2nd cutest girl out of all the juniors, Kawagoe-san! ...am I right? -S-so what!!
-That may have been an unexpected turn of events but my class is still all cute girls! -Just because your class has no delinquents...no! -Don't tell me...!
-That's right!! -My class..
-not only has 0 delinquents, but Kawagoe-san too!! -UUGYAAAAAAA!!

-Aw, you were so close Isobe -What?! -There's a guy called Kuwana in your class -Kuwana? He's got nothing special...
-Yes, Kuwana-kun is certainly normal! -But I know, since I was in his class last year! -Eat this!
-Kuwana's brother is in a biker gang! -dobugyaaaaaa!
-guuaaaa -That was nothing!! -Ah! He withstood the attack!
-To think he had a brother like that... -That certainly is shocking...but he's just a relative! He has nothing to do with my class!
-fufu -You're finished now, Isobe! -What!?
06 -Kuwana-kun started dying his hair gray like his brother after the start of 3rd year! top pic: End of 2nd year bottom pic: 3rd year -fugugiaaaaaaa
-How frightening...Kuwana-kun... -Uwoooo! Go futami!! -Futami the legend won!! -Pray that he mends his ways, in hell!
-The Legend is actually exhausted! This could get bad! -Eh? why?
-There's no way that the other leading class changers will miss this opportunity -now that there's a chance to defeat the Legend! -Eeeeeh? There's even more people getting worked up over nothing?!
-kikiki...you're looking pretty bad there, Futami... -Ngh! ...who is it this time?
-Aaaah! That's...Hamashima, the "speed star"!! -Here since 6! -He moves at godlike speed, arriving at school sooner than anyone the day the class list is posted, just so he can see it first!
07 -Hamashima...you said you were here since 6? -There's no way something that trivial can beat being in the class with all the beautiful girls -kikiki....you're off guard, Futami!
-They don't call me the Speed Star for nothing! -I bet you're thinking of some silly morning time that people would start training at! -N-no, it can't be!
-I've been here since 6PM yesterday!! -fushigiaaaaa!
-Cough...not bad...attacking me with a time difference... -Such an attack even exists?! -kyaaakyakya! There's no one who can keep up with my speed!
-Not so fast! I've seen through your trick!
-You have no sense of time!! -Uguuuuuu!!
-Ha! I saw your attack coming!! -He-he survived it!? Impossible!!
08 -Use your head! Would I, so obsessed over speed... -Dare to waste my time?! -Well...then what did you do until the list was put up!?
-I read manga!! -uhigaaaaaa
-Cough cough...Hamashima...you're a formidable opponent...not only fast, but fearfully calculating... -kiikikiki! Kazama Suzume-sensei's "Melon-bread message" was really funny! -I'm going to tell the fourth class all about it! -4!?
-Class 4...tell me his weakness, class listing!! -Class 4, class 4... -Damn, it's full of cute girls...why couldn't every one of them have just dropped out!? -Then, what about the guys...hm?
-The guys!! -T-this is...!!

-How sorry for you...pray that you don't become the class slave! -and that they won't be able to pick up any of the girls! -How ruthless! -That's his legendary ruthlessness!
-Looks like it's finally my turn -Who!? -Ah!! Up there! He's....
-Matsuzaka! He has the power to always get into a class with a caring teacher! -Otherwise known as "Open-your-heart-to-me Matsuzaka"! Even the Legend is in danger, to have to fight him in that shape!
-fufufu Hey Futami. Wanna hear what teacher I got this year? -Damn, he's confident...Why you!
-It seems he's got another compassionate teacher this year...This is bad! If he announces it now... -Even though I'm still standing, I'll be blown away for sure! -I have to land the first hit! -EAT THIS, MATSUZAKA!
-Your teacher loves to knead ground meat between their fingers!! -pyupyu...
10 -Oh no! It didn't have any effect! The Legend's attack was clearly just a wild guess! -He must have messed up because he attacked while his body's wracked with pain! -So wild guesses don't work?
-How pathetic, Futami! It's time for me to end this! -Eek! -The teacher in charge of our class is the same as the one I had last year and the year before!
-Not only empathetic but also gorgeous, the lovely Nakagawa-sensei!! -Himogyaaaaaaa
-Cough cough cough!! Nakagawa-sensei...yes, she's certainly an amazing teacher... -Perhaps the best in our school... -What!? Why are you still standing!! -He-he's not out yet!! That last attack was supposed to do it!
-Nakagawa-sensei was married at the end of last year... -Plus, she was always talking about how much she wanted kids... -S-so what if she did!
-There's a chance she might go on maternity leave!! small: take care everyone! -Iyagyaaaaa
11 -Gnghhhh....to think that far ahead...as I'd expect from the Legend -I didn't think about anything but getting the teacher I wanted! -This is the end! -The teacher who would likely replace her during the leave...
-May not open up to you at all!! small: hmm...well, good luck with that -Gugyagyaaaaa!!
-I'm finished...to think I might get a cold and distant teacher... -Even the formidable "open-your-heart-to-me Matsuzaka" lost...?! -But look at his breathing! Surely one more attack would defeat the Legend!
-Honestly I'm sick of this...are there any more? Amazing class changers or whatever they are? -Well, most of the big names are already done... -Thank goodness -But there are still others... -Eee~~~~~h!!
-Over there is the "Study-holic Nagashima" who does nothing but cram and hopes to get into a quiet class...but he seems down -Then...it must mean that this year is a failure
-I'm stuck in a cheerful, lively class... -What's wrong with that!! Go make friends or something!
-And over there's the guy who'd always get into the class with the most spirit, "Festival Aoyama"... -But he also seems depressed...
-I can't believe I'm stuck in the class with all the shifty-eyed, suspicious-acting people... -Poor thing! To think there's that many of those people at our school...
12 -Ah...well at least all this strange class change shouting is over -Not yet...from here out's the real deal -What? There's still someone out there? -Please! Give me a suggestion I can use, like club activities or something enthusiastic! -You're kidding...
-The only ones left who can defeat the Legend -is us! -U-uh....ge~~~h!! Oh no...no wonder you knew so much about this stuff!!
-Hold it right there, Futami! -Lemme goooo!!! -Nm. You two are the ones from before...
-We are nameless warriors -I'm no warrior!! -We've finally found the power to defeat you! -What did you say!? -Don't include me in this!! -We...
-are the best of friends, who have always gotten the same class together!! -What's with those hands!? -Umegiaaaaaa
-We did it! We defeated the legend!! -Y-you dragged me into this... black: A victory...for friendship...?! -Why couldn't those two have just dropped out as well? -Ah, well if one of them would go out with me, that would be fine then too box: And that's how the two of us came to be known as "The Legendary Friends Kumano & Hisai"

-But prince, you don't usually carry it around in the first place -Well, carrying it around doesn't serve a single useful purpose -But then I realized that having it makes me feel important so when I decided to carry it around for the first time in a while, it was gone!!
14 -I wonder where it went...I even remember decorating the top of my Christmas tree with it last year... small: damnit! it's too plain!! -Then, maybe that's where you left it?

Chapter 164 - Galileo's "The earth will keep turning no matter what" small lower right: Title by Masuda Kousuke small middle: Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) stood trial for rejecting the conventional wisdom of his day, the Ptolemaic theory, and instead promoting the Copernican theory. Although it made him a heretic, he reportedly proclaimed "the earth will keep turning no matter what." (t/n - ptolemaic was geocentric, or the universe revolved around the earth. Copernican thinking was heliocentric, or that the earth and all planets revolved around the sun. Galileo was condemned by the church because it misinterpreted scripture to mean that the earth stood still, ie was the center of the universe, and so it labeled him as an enemy of the church for his ideas.)
box: GALIleo/lei bubble: Today, my dear pupils, I will tell you about the Copernican theory and how the earth is turning black: A multitude of students who only appear to be listening...
02 -Nowadays, there are very few who believe in the work of Copernicus... -Check this out! It was on the floor of the classroom this morning! -Woah, that's porn! -But through my telescopic observations of the stars' movements, I have confirmed that--
-THE EARTH IS SPINNING!! BUT YOU STUPID ADOLESCENT BRATS--! -YOU'RE IGNORING MY PASSIONATE LECTURE TO READ SOME CRAPPY PORN!! no bubble: Uwa--!! Galileo's flying!! bubble: He's flying!!
-Does the fact that you flew over here so quickly mean that this is your porn, professor Galileo? -D-Don't be ridiculous!! -I've never read a magazine like that!! cover: monthly ero nami-ki = roadside tree porn monthly
-...when in fact, that's my mag! Where the hell did they get it?! I can't let this get out...I'll never forgive you stupid brats if that happens...I'll fail you all!! -C-calm down Galileo, everything will be fine! Even though the "Summer romance corner" published my submission, I used a penname on the postcard...there's no way anyone will ever know!!
box: "Summer romance corner" (Penname: Miracle Galilei-man) This summer I had an "tehehe~" experience. Upon seeing a group of girls in the city I lost control of myself and rammed into them. They called me a pervert, but I answered "I'M THE GREAT PROFESSOR GALILEO, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!" and they believed me! Lucky~~! I'm so happy to be a professor! box: Ero-sennin （t/n - naruto, anyone?) eeeh--!! Being a college professor lets you get away with anything, doesn't it. picture box: He claims to have assaulted a group of girls shirt: COLLEGE PROFESSOR

03 -You're a perv! -pervert! -Gali is a perv! -Melon Gali! (t/n - a stupid pun. Melon Gali, where gari = hunter...and you should get the rest) -N-no, I-I just... -Maron Gali! (t/n - maron is chestnut...so...yeah) -Did you say maron!? Quit widening the scope!!

(t/n - cool, one of the few puns that translates perfectly in english!) -Kurimaron (=a kind of squash, shaped like a chestnut) -Oh, so now every name is chesnut related!? -Kurimaro (t/n - not sure of this one. kuri is still chestnut, but maro can refer to shaved/thin brows, so maybe it's an insult on the shape of the head/balding + thin brow) -Now it's my eyebrows?!
-Tens of years later sign: conserve water -They really arrested me...
-Hey little mouse... -I'll say it so even you can understand...I was *squeak squeaked*! (t/n - terrible in english. tottsukamatta became the mousified "tocCHUkkamatta") -Sir Galileo Galilei, it's time
04 -Recant your foolish heliocentric teachings and say "The earth does not revolve" right here and now! -If you do, we'll let you go free -Huh?! For squeal!? (t/n - the mouse pun still going) -What's squeal? We're not kidding, so hurry up!
-B-but the earth really IS moving. I saw it myself through my telescope and drew that conclusion! -Well, I saw a lot of other things through my telescope too...eheh -Do you want to be arrested for something else!?! -Ahah...I was just kidding...I didn't see anything -Sorry if that was lewd...
-There is no way the earth can move -If you won't say the earth is still, we'll throw you back in jail -N-no way....!
-Okay then... -Whether the earth is kinda moving... -or not really moving... -there can only be one... -What are you talking about!? Quit stalling!!
-Are you fooling with us!? -N-no...I... -I can't say it...I'm a scholar. I can't say the earth isn't moving -Say it already!
-T-the earth i-is... -Is--is a---itsa potato monument (t/n imasen became "imokenpi". maybe a more english joke would be "is a movie") -DID YOU JUST SAY POTATO MONUMENT!?
05 -Didn't you hear me? I just said it! -No you didn't! You changed the last part! -What are you trying to pull here! -Fine, fine! I'll say it again, so listen to the LAST part closely!
-THE PAW ISN'T REVOLVING!! (t/n - chikyuu = earth, nikukyuu = paw) -Now the beginning is wrong! You just don't know when to quit, do you!?
-Woah...you guys can hear everything...man that's scary -What the heck should I do... -Just say it normally!! No more tricks! -I-I understand. Then, I'll say it in my home dialect
-Th' earth ain't be not revolvin', ya dig? (t/n - my liberty. can't trans literally) -DO YOU WANT TO DIE?! -This man is touched in the head! If you don't get this right for the last time, you're out! This is it!

-This is the end of my leo... (t/n joke is GAKEppuchi became GARIppuchi, gari = GALIleo) If I don't say it, I'm ruined. I'll never be released... -Okay...I'll say it this time...The earth isn-- -Listen up, my pupils! If I ever end up in court,
06 -Even if I was ordered to revoke my beliefs, I will never yield! -I will say "The earth will keep turning no matter what"!! I'll scream it across the room! -You guys are always talking in tiny voices! (in order: ) -Gari/maro/maron -Maron/Ga/Roman -Garimaro/Maron/Hikou/za-Kansai (the last part is airplane/"the"(?) sugarbeet (???)) -That nickname's way too long!!
-I suddenly remembered what I said back then -I can't believe I said something like that to my students...
-We decided. Your nickname will hereby be "the perverted old man" -You settled on "perverted" after all that!? -Did you hear a thing I just said?! I'd say, "The earth will keep turning...
-"The earth will keep turning no matter what"...huh -Hurry it up! It's the 9th inning and there's already 2 outs! -Hit a home run, Galileo!!
-Don't ever give into the pressure or ignorance of this world -Stand up for what you believe in and answer them in a loud voice, just like me!
-...I can't do it after all...for my pride as a scholar -The pitcher's getting scared...rah rah rah...what!? You won't!? -You'll go straight to jail!
-But professor, didn't you just lie to us when you said you didn't know anything about that mag? -Yeah! Everything you say is just lies, you liar! -N-no...that has nothing to do with this! -That magazine is for educational purposes!!
-The earth will...keep -It will...always...
-Galileo is a liar! -Uso-ero-gari (=Lying, perverted Galileo) -Usoerogari! -Kuso-samu-gari (pun, =stupid, cold-intolerant [weakling]) -Stop it...stop it!! Don't make light of me!! -Leave my libido alone!!
-Fine!! Then I'll just say this!! -All men...
left black: Even heartbroken, his conviction doesn't waver
-for now and forever...
-ALL MEN ARE PERVERTS!! box: And so Galileo never gave in to the intense pressure and boldly asserted that both Copernicus and all men are perverts.

08 Chapter 165 - Nikibi-kea = Treating Acne small lower left: Title by Masuda Kousuke
bubble right: 皮脂の分泌や角質により毛穴がつまりニキビの元となるアクネ菌 略してアネキが皮脂と結びつき増殖します -When sebum secretions or keratin block our skin's pores, the acne bacillus (or Aneki for short), take root in their sebum and begin to multiply. (t/n - the joke here is this: Acne-kin = acne bacillus, but as japanese loves to do, it makes up a shorter name, AcNEKIn -- aneki, which means "older sister") bold: Skin care is the pride of adults. bubble left: The inflammation that aneki causes produces pimples
top: Here's one successful client of Kora! Nikibi S, /A-san (24) -I've tried a lot of different skin care products, -So now I can definitely say Kora! Nikibi-S is the best -I wish I had found it sooner
-To those of you who can't find a skin care product that works, -why give up on your dream of returning to your natural skin? (t/n - i'm not 100% on how to trans the product, but it's probably Kora! Nikibi, or Hey, pimples!! And although I don't think the S has much significance, "S" can mean sister, so...)
-I tried to stop using it before, but then I had terrible outbreaks... -So now, I have no choice but to keep using it for the rest of my life
09 -A-san, who has always been troubled by acne since her middle school years, -Is just one example of how Kora! Nikibi S can change your life
-My older sister (t/n - aneki) always had such beautiful skin...but I had terrible acne...I always asked "Why me?" -Because of that, we never got along -If only I had finished off the acne bacteria ...aneki...back then... (t/n - pun coming full swing here)
top text: A photo from when A-san fought with her Aneki -Anyway, A-san was searching for a way to sterilize her Aneki -But the problem is she was killing all of her beneficial bacteria too
-Kora! Nikibi S is different because of the way it controls my aneki -My skin cleared up...and I even started to get along with my older sister too
top txt: A-san after she successfully gained full control of her Aneki bubble: Thanks to Kora! Nikibi S, A-san learned how to live with her Aneki bubble: And she got to enjoy going outside more as well
top txt: A-san's older sister T-san -This is what A-san's sister has to say -She became much more cheerful. She's always so excited whenever it comes to skin care
10 -What made you notice A-san's change? -Whenever I talked to her, she'd always go on and on about Aneki -And I was like, "Huh!? I called her politely, so what's with that attitude!?"...but later I learned she was talking about her acne, so then I understood... -It was around the time she started to use Kora! Nikibi S...
-So do you both now refer to Acne bacteria as Aneki? -No...that's only my sister -I call it acne bacteria like everyone else
-Why is that? -Well, it's obviously confusing...and I don't like it...in fact, I should be asking you -Why do you feel the need to shorten the term in the first place?
-But here at our company we do it with other things too...we call Satou-san's acne sugarcane... (t/n - pun is "Satou-san no nikibi" becoming SATOU no niKIBI = satoukibi, or sugarcane. No idea if this is talking about a prominent person) -Oh, is that so...? But that has nothing to do with this... -I'm not a Satou... (t/n - it's a family name)
-And so as not to confuse Bikinis with acne (t/n - nikibi), our company calls it "bathing suit underwear" -Oh really...we'll that's such a pain, it's too long -But if you're going to do that then why not call acne by its true, long scientific name? (t/n - nikibi is colloquial, fukidemono is the long term she proposes) black: Don't be ridiculous -No, that's not what I...
-Applying Kora! Nikibi S's special formula to your skin will stop your Aneki in its tracks and prevent acne from ever forming -So take this opportunity and do try it today! black: ぜひって言われても・・・ = Uh, that's not how you offer... (t/n - it's a simple line, but not sure. any 2nd opinion?)

11 Chapter 166 - Lalami's Reality title by masuda kousuke
-Hello? This is Hayashia, from "extra pants" publishing...(別冊ずぼん）(?) -I-if you're going to terminate my contract, then just say it already! -No, uh...it's about the manuscript you sent in yesterday. I just wanted you to fix a couple of things box: Manga artist Koino Yokan white: This is a story about the daily life of a manga artist and their editor...well, sorta. (t/n - this might be a bit of a personal commentary by the author, because he reportedly published his thoughts in a tankoban, mentioning that he didn't think this comic would survive (in the beginning it had a weak following))
-That's all? Quit scaring me already!! -But it was just a regular phone call... -So what do you want me to change?
-You know the scene where the protagonist Lalami is told by her big crush, Takuya-kun, that "you look cuter without glasses" and she goes to wear contacts instead? -That's a crucial scene! It's where she's making her first step into romance! So exactly what needs to be changed? girl - Lalami boy - Takuya-kun
12 -Well, the contact is just a tad too big -Yosh! I'm gonna wear contacts!
-Oh...well, doesn't it make sense? I mean, looking at the size of her eyes it seems only natural to use one that big... -I see your point but please don't draw them that large. You don't need to be so concerned with the details... -But if the contacts aren't the right size, then...
-See, if the contact is way bigger than her fingers it looks strange -Eh? ...then, what should I do?
-You want me to make the finger big enough for the contact? -What?! No way! Just make the contact smaller!
-B-but it makes no sense if the contact isn't large enough to fit her eyes!! -I want it to be realistic!! -What are you talking about?? Her eyes are gargantuan in the first place! -Oh, and one more thing since we're talking about edits...
-There's this scene where lalami bumps into Takuya and makes her lose a contact -KYAA! -ah, i'm so sorry! -You mean that heartwarming scene where Takuya searches with Lalami for her contacts?
13 -With the size you're drawing it, it'd take them like a second to find it -Where is it?? where? -I think it might be lost forever... -Please make that contact smaller
-Wha...? But...what kind of contact gets smaller once you drop it? -There isn't one!! That's because the contact is small to begin with!! -But...using such a small contact is strange... -It's not strange!! It's normal!!
-Oh I know! I can make Takuya-kun have terrible eyesight, and that will explain why he can't find it -Why are you being so stubborn!? Just make the contact smaller!! -Besides, that would be impossible in the first place
-In the very first chapter, there was a scene where Takuya-kun was introduced as being a member of the African Maasai tribe because of his perfect vision during the school's screening -It's slanted down and to the right...correct?** -What!? You're a Maasai!? Amazing, Takuya!! -There was a scene like that...? (t/n - this is kind of an extra joke, because according to what i found online, japanese vision screenings use landolt C's, a test where you simply say in what direction it's pointing. Normally it's just up, down, left, right, but in this case it's using diagonals...so he's got really good vision)
-O-okay, s-so then how about she doesn't drop the contact but instead it penetrates into her eyelid...? -Ah! I take it back! Her eyelids are so high it would get into her scalp!! -Just what the heck are you imagining?!
-So like I keep telling you, if you just make the contact smaller, everything will work out fine! -B-but...her eyes are so large...oh! I know!! -Let me guess, another useless idea?
14 -No! All I need to do is make Lalami's eyes smaller!! txt: doesn't work txt: works -How the heck will that work!? You think the readers won't notice?!
-Besides, having her eyes shrink all of a sudden is hardly realistic! -fufufu How naive, Hayashida-san -This part will be the first time since Lalami has taken off her glasses, right? -Yeah, so??
-I can make it so that Lalami's glasses were just making her eyes look bigger, kind of like Derricott's! txt: Kent Derricott (t/n - see wikipedia for more. One of the most popular foreign celebs in japan, known as "gaitare" =foreign talent) shirt: America -The readers don't want a protagonist like Derricott!!
-Then what am I supposed to do!? Hayashida-san, you've got to think about this too, you're the editor!! Besides, you eat like a king! -What did you have yesterday? Sushi, right? Of course it was sushi!! -P-please calm down
-I am calm!! So then, let's go with this: Once she takes off the glasses, it's not just her eyes, but her entire head that shrinks!! -Stop it!! Take deep breaths!! small no bubble: works
-Oh, nothing makes sense anymore!! -Once her head has shrunken, as well as her eyes, wouldn't that make the contact lens way too big?! -Just forget about this idea! It would make the contact as big as her head!
15 -Then, as long as I just make her finger bigger, the contact's size will make sense!? -Since you're at it, why not? (t/n - changed this because i think it's meant to be sarcastic)
-Okay, but then if I go with the idea that she never dropped it but instead it went into her eyelid, then... -Oh no, that would change the shape of her head!! -Get a grip already!! This is crazy!
-Hayashida-san, you too!! You're the editor, after all!! -All you eat is sushi!! Is it really that delicious, day after day?! -Actually, I don't eat it that often... -If I make the contact into sushi, would that please you?!? -...Ngh!...would you just--
-Since you won't think of any solutions, Hayashida, it's going to turn into this!! caption: Like so -That's why I keep saying, just make the contact smaller...! -What is this picture!? What is Lalami trying to do?! If the sushi were to fit her fingers, it'd be gigantic!
-And then if the sushi got under her eyelid...oh, the horror!! -Vinegared rice is coming from her eye...! -Sensei, please calm yourself!! All you need to do is shrink the contact! Please do that and nothing else!!
-Or else, we really will terminate your contract!! -Eh...!
-Then... -Uh...I will make the contact smaller... white: That went surprisingly well.
