Bolt

"The character 'bolt'!! Whenever I see it, it's a pretty well done kanji!!"

The bolt is this rod that people use although they closed the door

"This is certainly the kanji for 'bolt'!"
"Bolt.....

"This gate will open"
"Whaaa!?"

Ah, good. I didn't sleep too late this time. Writing up the volume 9 revisions now.

Thanks.

Sorry about the delay, something came up. But it's done now

Comic 1

Western Door

"What are you saying? It won't open! The gate definitely goes up to here!"
Up to here
"Does it?"

"But the kanji for gate is pretty similar to that. The doors of saloons in western films"

"Ohh, that door has a halfway height"
"Unexpectedly, the kanji for 'gate' might have come from a Western origin"

"Ther...."
"There's no way"
"That retort was unneeded was it? It was"

Comic 2
Western Door 2

"But, I wonder what that door is. The bottom part is a gap"

"I see, that's the case!"
"Huh? What is it?"

"Oh, if you go under, you can pass without having to open the door!"

"And so, that's how the kanji for 'to flash' came about"
"It really does!!"

"Oh Sora"

Does this character even exist? I've never seen it before

Are there any other things in the kitchen....
"It's not in the kitchen"

"A bolt would be this. It's like a key you use when you're closing a door...."

"Like this... You do this so that [the door] won't open with the bar"

So isn't it a sticky stick?
"What a Sora-like answer! Full points!"

Bolt 5

"It's a bolt. A bolt"
Bolt?

"Those are snow shoes" [TN: Jap kanjiki]

I wanted to try [using] a sticky stick once
"Sora, you feel like using sticky stick on the door of the Fine Arts Room?"

Perfect!!

Slide

Comic 2
Sticky stick 2

How strange.... why?
"Sora~, this length is no good"

"For example, this one is the perfect length. See?"

I see. Now the stuck won't move
"Perfect!"

38
That's right. My mistake

44
I tried to be consistent with the Musashi Scans science page. If you want I can rephrase it

83
Do you have any suggestions? I did a literal translation there because I struggled to find a good sensible one

>>136239403
Page 31

Oops. I was going to ask if this is actually the correct translation. Him not getting on Kei's lap didn't seem to have anything to do with his vision.

Page 36

No, the page after that. The "Spa or men" thing. I don't quite get it.

Page 38

Okay.

Page 44

No, I mean the first panel. it seems like he says "Tori" (Bird) as a guess because the word starts with "To," then after being told that's wrong, goes to Niwatori (Chicken) which he rejects because it doesn't start with "To" It doesn't contradict the science page either, from what I see.

Page 83

I'll give it some thought. There aren't any small changes to the literal translation that could give me a better idea.

"One-liner sticky Kuga"

"Ohhh! Sticky Kuga! I shall try opening the door!"
"Come at me anytime"

"Sticky Kuga's weak"

>>136239867

I think Takane is speaking about herself so maybe it should be 'My field of vision is bad'

36
It's a sound pun or an idea association. For some reason she associates 'spa' and 'men' with spaghetti

44
Oh. I'm sorry I got disoriented there. Tori is bird. So how do you propose to change it?

83
The main idea what she's saying is that the idea of having no dreams in itself is beautiful

>>136240155
Page 31

Then what does her first line mean?

Page 36

There is no logical basis for this? Kanji shape or anything?

Page 44

Just change Negishi's line in the first bubble to "To"? Bird (Tori)?

Page 88
>The main idea what she's saying is that the idea of having no dreams in itself is beautiful

Oh, okay. Is that so. That wasn't what I thought it meant, meaning this really will take some thinking.

>>136240614
31
"But, what should I say" is my best guess

36
Not really. In fact the raw literally gives English and Katakana

44
That works

83
Oh. Wait. I might have misinterpreted that. I'm burning midnight oil so I'm not rightly aligned today. I think it's something else. Give me a minute to think about it longer.

"Okay"

"It's not getting better!!"
"That's enough. Return it to the water"

A fish that gets water

"Oh, it swam with life and left. This is a fish that gets water"
"Indeed"

"What?"
The face of not wanting a retort saying 'a fish that got water' but rather 'you should get water'

>>136240614
I thought of a better one for 83. I'll do the whole line
"What's that. That's a dreamless idea. You probably meant [to say] something more beautiful"

>>136240986
Page 31
Maybe something more casual like.

"But now what do I do?" "I can't see anything."

It can't be helped.

Knocking down flying birds

"There's an expression that says 'forceful enough to knock down flying birds' right? What kind of force will fall a bird?" [TN: Expression means 'great vigor']

"Huh? ....look, a force would be like the force of a released arrow"
"In other words"

When the arrow hits and falls together [with the bird]

"Well something which is called a force which knocks down flying birds talks about immediately loosing momentum right?"
"That's the fashion"

Comic 2
Knocking down flying birds

"Well, a force which knocks down flying birds isn't that sort of physical metaphor huh"
"It wasn't an arrow"

"Then

"Then what kind of force will knock down a bird?"
"Screams"
"Screams!?"

"Kyeeeeeeee"
"Raaaaaaaghhh"

"The birds....aren't falling"
"The force is still insufficient I see"

Oval squid
It's delicious, but Annie-chan is scary.

Anisakis
It's explained in the work itself already so [I'll explain] the precautionary measures. You heat the seafood enough and eat it. If you want to eat it raw, the condition is to eat it at 20°C and after 48 hours of refrigerating, defrost it and eat it. After you definitely confirm that you want to eat it, you should bite it hard and eat it. Even though the anisakis is there, you should bite it to death. Worried people should probably avoid raw food.

Largescale blackfish
A fish that's often on the seashore. Popular among fishermen. The body is all black, but there's a pretty turquoise luster. The appearance looks atrocious so although they aren't called atrocious predators, if you keep one together with other fish in a tank, they recklessly attack the other fish and it will be troublesome. Although it would be simple if it was bred alone.

Black porgy
Popular among fishermen. I think the taste is fine and relatively normal

"If you go out to town, all over the place it's Christmas Christmas! We can't assent to postponing the party to the 25th"

"But Christmas is supposed to be the 25th"
"Then just let me say this"

"Is there such thing as a Japanese person who celebrates the essentially correct Christmas?"
"Ugh..."

>Kate-Ai

A Canadian girl falls in love with Japan.

Unable to confess, she is gifted by a deus ex machina with Japan's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, she immediately calls the country, and is overjoyed to find out that Nihon has a crush on her as well.

But, the next day, when she recounts the previous day's confessions to Japan, she gets no response because Japan is a country, not a person. After some investigation, she finds out that the nation she called is not the same nation she fell in love with. In fact, this Japan doesn't exist in her universe at all. This Nihon is the alternate universe counterpart of her crush, who has fallen in love with her AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of his crush.

After finding out, she slammed her fist into ther palm and said, "SOU NAN DES KARR." Hijinks ensue as they strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip each other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of WEEABOO.

December 6

"Everyone, make sure you don't forget the important things"
"Huh?"

"Today is December 6, Saint Nicholas's day"

"According to the nation, even on this day, this is the day people receive presents from Santa-san"

Cat... mouse? What's that? Quite an amazing meaning [TN: Nicholas sounds similar to cat mouse in Japanese (neko mausu)]
"Nicholas!"

Comic 2
Present

"Heey, what is it? Then are there two days we can receive presents?"
"That's right"

"Then Santa-san, I want a new plaster bust!"
"Who're you calling Santa?"

"Well whatever. A plaster bust is impossible, but here I am!"
"Yaaay, Asakura santa-san"

"Here, have some coal"
"Yaaay"

Coal

"I don't need coal. What'll I do with this?"
"Make yakitori?"

"Putting jokes aside, in certain countries, there are even Santa-sans who give coal"
"But I don't need coal..."

"That's about the black Santa right? The one who gives coal to bad kids"

"As you'd expect, I'm not a kid's age anymore, though I'm young"
"So you're ignoring the 'bad' part"

Comic 2
Black Santa

"And what's that Black Santa about?"
"Saint Nicholas's companion is Knecht Ruprecht"

"His role is to remonstrate bad children and if it's easy to understand the namahage. His outward appearances are various. He wears fur and disguises himself with fur and has a stick and sack"

"Ohhh, that sort of guy exists huh. Knecht Ruprecht..."

A wriggling man who [spins] with a hoop...? [TN: Play on Japanese pronunciation 'Kunehito Ruupurehito']
"She replaces words she doesn't know with words she does huh"

Black Santa 2

"There are no bad kids, but"
"Namahage!"

"You're wrong. It's a black santa"
"Just now, you said there were no bad kids"

"When I heard your conversation awhile ago, I just felt like doing this. It's a European namahage"

"Ah! It's a wind god!"
"Well it's certainly close to a wind god..."

Reindeer

"And I'm the reindeer"
"Himuro-senpai!"

"The red noise is just nasal inflammation"
"What a useless creation"

"Nose fire!! To light up the night road!!"
"Nasal inflammation flames!?"

"You can't play with fire"
"Give give"
"What's with this student & teacher"

Reindeer 2

A reindeer
"Hm?"

Why can they fly in the air?

Do they fly in the air?
"Well if they doesn't then they'd have to run on Japanese public roads and the present distribution won't make it"

That's not a reason
"Then, they possess the ability to fly"

"Well, that's acceptable"
"She accepted it!?"

"Nono, even though reindeer fly if they pull the sleigh this'll happen right?"

How does that work?
"Huh...? Hm...well, the reindeer fly the sleigh through the air with telekinesis"

Reindeer are amazing!
"More amazing than Santa-san!!"

Reindeer 3

"But you know, when you think about it"
"What is it now!?"

"Even if they've just flown into the sky, distributing presents to kids all over the world in one day is a pretty impossible speed right?"

No no, this reindeer is amazing so she can probably do it
"Don't directly set me up Kajiwara-san! It's scary!!"

So? How do you do it?
"W... well, the reindeer can already leave at the speed of light so there's no problem"

"But if the physical body moves at the speed of light, won't the townspeople die from the shock waves?"

"No, more importantly, the mass will become infinitely large so it'll generate a black hole and destroy the world"

"Th...the reindeer transform their own bodies to photons of zero mass and fly so neither shock waves nor black holes will be generated...?"

Reindeer are amazing!!
Amazing reindeer!!
"They have to keep Santa and the sleigh safe"

"This bag isn't one that awakens the winds but one to stuff bad kids in"

"More importantly, how'll the party turn out!"
"Oh, we're doing it"

"For the time being, let's take that bag sensei"

"Illusion!"
"Kasugano-sensei became Asakura-sensei!?"

"So while we were doing that, it's now the end of school. Lets get all the go home preparations ready"

Kuroiwa Cicada
It's called this because it was reported by Kuroiwa Kouji. It's a small framed cicada and it's whole body is green. There is also a specimen whose body becomes orange. It cries 'Chi chi chi'

Kyushu
I hear [the old provinces] are Chikuzen, Chikugo, Hizen, Higo, Buzen, Bugo, Hyuuga, Oosumi, and Satsuma.

Fish that got water [TN: Expression for 'in one's element']
In Japanese that would be '水を得た魚' (mizu wo eta uo). The fish is originally read as 'uo' and the reading 'sakana' was supplemented later. Originally, when it became 'sakana', it was the appetizer for sake and thus 'sakana' [TN: Kanji: 酒菜. Coincidentally the kanji for appetizer 肴 is also pronounced 'sakana']. It's food that's brought out in a drinking party. 'The fish that got water' is a common expression so people don't read it as 'mizu wo eta sakana' but the day when that reading also soaks in and isn't misused seems to be getting close, so it may have already soaked in.

Eye Gnat
Gnats that fly around your eyes when you walk in the forest. Such troublesome things shouldn't even exist. They have carried parasites called Oriental Eye bugs before, so it would be troubling. They also go towards the camera lens above the eye. It seems to hate the smell of mint so it might be better to eat some mint candies. Until a place with good sun exposure, they won't chase you.
