Part 7: Cheers!
Kokona: Hoooaaah…
Kathrina: That was one big yawn.
Kokona: Ah, sorry, Kathrina-chan. As soon as we secured a spot, Iʼve started feeling kind of sleepy…
Shizuka: I told you to rest for a while longer, but you got stubborn and were like, “No, I’ll go with you.”
Kokona: Because there was no way I would have made you two handle everything…
Shizuka: How did it go yesterday? We waited and waited, but you never came, and I got worried when I saw a sign on Panda’s door saying “No trespassing!”
Kokona: Come on, I told you it was fine. Shizuka-chan, you worry too much.
Kathrina: You say that, but seems like you barely got any sleep. Did Panda somehow force you to stay up all night?
Kokona: Panda-chan would never do something like that~ Even if I’m sleepy… it’s no big deal… Hooaah…
Shizuka: Oh well… You know, you donʼt sound very convincing?..
Panda: Here you are! Hey, girls! Have you been waiting for long?~
Yae: Good morning, everyone!
Kokona: Panda-chan! Yae-chan!
Kokona: Shamo-san and Hiiragi-san, you’re here too! Good morning!
Noa: Morning. The girls said you had to get up early to find a spot for us, but it certainly is a nice place.
Kokona: Glad to hear that! We’ve scoped out many spots with Kathina-chan and Shizuka-chan.
Shamo: Oh, did you? Thank you three for working hard since early morning.
Kathrina: …I didn’t really do anything. It was Kokona who found this place and got things ready.
Shizuka: Why are you getting flustered? Come on, let’s sit down and have a toast.
Panda: Right! Then, Panda will hand out paper cups.
Yae: Okay, then let me pour the drinks. Umm, who wants the tea?..
Kokona: Wait up! Yae-chan, Panda-chan, please, take a seat! Let us newbies handle everything!
Chisa: Kokona, so you still consider yourself a newbie.
Kokona: Huh? But isn’t it a tradition that new members do it?..
Panda: Well, anyway! That’s not important! Come on, Koko-chan, you’re the host, so offer a toast!
Kokona: Ah, right!
Kokona: Umm… W-we are gathered here today…?
Shizuka: That sounds like a wedding speech…
Kokona: Uh, I guess! Well, everyone, thank you very much for coming!
Kokona: Kathrina-chan and Shizuka-chan did their best to prepare the meal, so please enjoy it!
Kokona: Now let’s start our sakura viewing party! Cheers!
Everyone: Cheers!
Kokona: Ah, Hiiragi-san! Youʼve drunk it already, should I get you something else? Maybe, tea?
Noa: Huh? Yes. The same one, please. Thanks, you’re very considerate.
Kokona: It’s nothing! Here you go! Yae-chan, would you like a refill too?
Kathrina: …
Shizuka: Kathrina, what are you staring at?
Kokona: Kokona. Sheʼs been so active all this time, she could use a break.
Shizuka: Ah, that. I offered her to take a break, but seems like sheʼs gotten really into it.
Shizuka: Guess, she just wants to take her role as a host seriously. Though, I wish she could just relax and enjoy the meal.
Kathrina: …hmm.
Kokona: Shamo-san, would you…
Kathrina: Shamo-san, would you like a refill?
Kokona: Kathrina-chan?
Kathrina: I’ll take care of everyone. You rest up, Kokona.
Kokona: Huh? Okay.
Kathrina: Shamo-san, maybe, some tea?
Shamo: Yes. Thank you. Fufu, Kathrina-chan, you are considerate, too.
Kathrina: …my pleasure. Here you go.
Kokona: Oh, Shamo-san! You know, Kathrina-chan and Shizuka-chan prepared the lunch boxes for today!
Kathrina: Hey, it’s no big deal! Don’t mention it!
Shamo: Oh, did they?
Shamo: The tamagoyaki* is delicious.
Kathrina: …really? But it’s burnt, so I guess Shizuka’s stew should be better.
Shamo: That’s not true. Tamagoyaki you made is also very good. Don’t be shy.
Kathrina: Thank you. I appreciate it.
Shamo: Fufu. Why donʼt we enjoy the stew Shizuka-chan made together later?
Kathrina: …of course.
Shizuka: Oh my, look who holds herself so much better now. I wish the Kathrina from before could see that.
Kokona: Youʼre right! Since the move-in party both you and Kathrina-chan have really improved at cooking!
Kathrina: Hey! I can hear you, you know!
Shizuka: Annoyed, because weʼve hit the mark, huh, Kathrina?~
Panda: Ahaha, yet another peaceful day at Sirius~
Chisa: Panda, you have dark circles under your eyes.
Panda: Huh? Ah, that~ It’s no big deal, don’t worry about it.
Chisa: Is that so?
Panda: Look, instead let’s treat ourselves to Kathrin’s specially made Schnitzel.
Chisa: Yup. Alright, let’s dig in~
TL note
* Tamagoyaki is a type of Japanese omelette made by rolling together several layers of fried beaten eggs.
