Haruka no Fukou - Semari Kuru Hametsu no Yokan [Haruka's Misfortunes - ?] [Translated by Masa Hayashi . Many thanks!] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- track 10. Haruka, Sakanaya-san de Baito Suru [Haruka, Part-Time Fishmonger] Haruka: *riding her motorcycle* Gosh, I'm going to be late for the appointment with Michiru! *ride ride* Haruka: Look out! *sounds of tires and brakes* Pedestrian 1: Ahhh! Haruka: Are you alright? Pedestrian 1: Yes, just twisted an ankle. Haruka: Just the ankle? Pedestrian 1: But I can't go to my part-time job like this. And if I take today off, I'll get fired. Haruka: Okay, I'll stand in for you today then. Pedestrian 1: Really? Haruka: Yeah. And what do you do? *scene change* Haruka: Hey, come on, ladies, take a look! We have some real nice fresh fish today! *thinks to herself* Didn't think his job would be at a fish store! And at such an old fashioned fish store too with the headbands and all that... Customer 1: Can I have that fish? Haruka: Yes, right away. *thinks again* And how come I was able to master the whole thing in no time at all? Could it be that... I am actually *good* at it? Impossible! Totally absurd! Customer 2: Excuse me? Haruka: Yes, can I help you? Customer 2: Can you fillet this fish for me? Haruka: Certainly Ma'am, if that's what you desire. Customer 2: Oh, how charming of you! Haruka: Here it is! *scene change* Usagi: Ne, ne, Haruka-san and Michiru-san are definitely from very wealthy families, don't you think? Rei: Michiru-san, no doubt. But Haruka-san, considering her dashing ways, I bet she's an "Edokko" (a traditional old-downtown-Tokyo person). Usagi: Uh??? Rei: Probably from a family that's been running either a sushi restaurant or a fish store for generations. Usagi: You're kidding! ... Hey, look at this, Rei-chan! The fish of this fish store looks delicious! Haruka: Hey, young lady, you can tell the good stuff, can't you? This was just swimming a few- ahh! Usagi: ... Haruka-san... Rei: Oh, no... Haruka: ... Odango... Usagi: Haruka-san, you really do run a fish store... Haruka: No no no, I just had an accident at the fish store... No, I mean I had to fillet the fish... No, no, not that either, what I was trying to say was... Usagi: I fully understand. Haruka: ??? Usagi: We are just taken aback because it is so different from your image. But we don't care whether it is the fish store or the vegetable store that you run, Haruka-san is still Haruka-san and our admiration for you won't change. Haruka: Really? Thank you! No, I don't mean thank you, I mean... Rei: Sorry, we'd better be on our way. Usagi: Goodbye! Haruka: Hey, wait, you two! Ah, they're gone... Customer 3: Hello, excuse me. Haruka: And what can I do for you? *thinks to herself* Why does my body just respond so naturally?????? Ahhhhh... *scene change* Michiru: You are just as charming working at the fish store, Haruka! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- track 11. Haruka ga Masaka Kondo wa Gay Bar de!? [Haruka in a Gay Bar This Time!?] Haruka: Look out! *sounds of tires and brakes* ... Are you alright? Pedestrian 2: Just twisted an ankle. But I'll lose my part-time job if I take today off. Haruka: Not again! And what is this, this strange feeling that something is wrong? Pedestrian 2: What do you mean by not again? Haruka: Nothing. Okay, I will stand in for you today then. Pedestrian 2: Reeeeally? That's a big help! Greeeeat! Haruka: I have a feeling that I wouldn't want to know, but what do you do? Pedestrian 2: I work as a hostess at a gay bar. Haruka: A gay bar! No way, I can't do that! Pedestrian 2: Yes, you can. You're so charming! I've made up my mind. You are going to work there tonight. Haruka: No way! Ahhh, get off me!!! Pedestrian 2: No!!! Haruka: Let go of me!!! Let go of me!!! Pedestrian 2: No!!! Haruka: Let go of me!!! Pedestrian 2: No!!! Haruka: Let me goooooo!!! Pedestrian 2: Absolutely nooooot!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- track 12. Michiru wa Nande mo Shitteiru? [What Doesn't Michiru Know?] Haruka: Today is such a nightmare! Michiru: What's the matter? It's not like you. Here. Haruka: Thanks. ... Michiru? Michiru: Yes? Haruka: If I turn into someone totally different from what I am now, what would you do? Michiru: Such questions you ask! No matter what you become, you will always be you and I will always be me. Nothing is going to change. Haruka: You think so? Yes, I suppose so. Michiru: You're acting strange. Haruka: Sorry, I guess I just got discouraged. Michiru: That's taboo, remember? Haruka: Right. Michiru: But the nervous you is so charming too. Haruka: Cut it out! Michiru: And you are just as charming working at the fish store. Haruka: ......... You saw everything? Michiru: What a pity! I would have gone drinking every night had you agreed to work at the bar. Why did you turn it down? Haruka: Th- Th- There's no way I'm going to work at a place like that... But how did you find out? Michiru: No matter what you become, you will always be you and my feelings for you will never change. Haruka: I guess I'm no match for you. Michiru: *giggle*
