Nagi On Stage SR Story Translation

Reeling in Childhood Memories (Part 1)

Thank you aca @/463ce6, myun @/myuntachis Niri @/Niri_riri and Dimi @/taatsums for helping proofread this!

Kafka: Up we go… 

Nagi: Ohh… That’s a lot of fish.

Kafka: I caught a lot more than I’d expected. I was thinking it might be a good idea to have it for dinner tonight. 

Nagi: How will you prep all these…?

Kafka: I can leave that up to the pro. Right, Ten?

Ten: Wow~ Totally saw that coming. 

Kafka: I knew I could count on you, being the son of a sushi chef~

Ten: No right to refuse, huh~ Well, it’s not like I mind. 

Nagi: …… 

Nagi: (I thought I could lend a hand, but I’ve never dealt with so many fish at once…)

Nagi: (I don’t have the chops for this… Not to mention, I’d probably just cause more trouble if I butt in. I should just sit this one out.)

Ten: …… 

Nagi: (What a beautiful cutting technique… The fish are being turned into sashimi so fast they probably don't even realize they're being filleted…) 

Kafka: Your handiwork is as impressive as always.

Ten: Well, I am the son of a sushi chef after all~

Kafka: I doubt you’d encounter any problems even if you somehow got washed up on a deserted island, so long as you’re able to catch fish there.

Ten: Ah, well, I guess? But I’d probably get sick of eating so much fish.

Nagi: (I think it’s more than enough if you can eat fish…)

Nagi: (But, a deserted island, huh… I’ve never washed up on one yet, but I can’t say it won’t happen in the future…) 

Nagi: Kafka, please teach me how to fish.

Kafka: Where did that come from?

Nagi: If I learn how to fish, then I won’t have to worry about starving to death on a deserted island, at least.

Nagi: And just like Ten-san said, I might get tired of– Well, not fish, in my case it’d be weeds. But anyways, I’d probably get sick of eating all those weeds, so it’d make a good alternative. Though honestly that’s more of a luxury to consider… 

Ten: That’s what you’re worried about?

Kafka: Ahaha! It’s a bit of a sudden request, but sounds like it could be fun, so sure! I’ll teach you. 

Kafka: I usually fish at Ooguro Hospital's pier, so how about we go there?

Nagi: Yes please. I humbly request your guidance. 

Ten: I’m done filleting them. Whatever comes next is not my problem~

Kafka: Thank you, Ten.

Nagi: And thank you for helping me come to a realization, Ten.

Ten: I don’t really get it, but good luck~

Notes:

The title has a pun hidden in it: 釣りあげたのは童心の想い出 where 童心 (doushin) means childhood/childlike innocence and 同心 (doushin) refers to people who are of the same mind (on a certain topic, etc) which could refer to them enjoying fishing together but also refer to Nagi fishing up a memory of Kafka's, literally.

Nagi On Stage SR Story Translation

Reeling in Childhood Memories (Part 2)

Kafka: Great weather we’re having, perfect for fishing.

Nagi: Great weather… I hope the atmospheric pressure is alright… 

Kafka: You’re too tense, Nagi. You should enjoy your fishing debut! 

Kafka: Here you go. A fishing rod, hook, and a lure set. I picked ones that are easy for beginners to use. 

Nagi: Thank you.

Kafka: Alright, first and foremost, you need to stand in a way that lets you toss the hook as far as possible, in a straight line… Like so. 

Nagi: Ooh… I see.

Kafka: Now you give it a shot, Nagi.

Nagi: Okay.

Nagi: Like this… Uh?

*Nagi shakes*

Nagi: Kafka, are you holding onto my clothes? Don’t worry. I won’t fall into the ocean… Probably. 

Kafka: Nope, it’s not me. You managed to get the hook stuck on your back. 

Nagi: Oh, okay. Could you please unhook it for me?

Kafka: Pft... Haha! It’s just like you to not break a sweat over it. 

Kafka: Here you go. Give it another try.

Nagi: Alright, here goes–

Kafka: –The hook? Did it fly off?

Nagi: …It’s right here. Under my foot. 

Kafka: Ahaha!!

Kafka: You never disappoint… Well, I’m sure you’ll catch something worthwhile to make up for it.

Nagi: That’d be nice but… The chances of me catching an actual fish seem extremely low now.

Kafka: Now, now, don’t worry about it. Let’s just take it easy.

Nagi: Got it. For the sake of my future self who might get stranded on a deserted island, here goes nothing…!

Nagi: Alright. I’ve successfully got it to land in the water, at least. 

Nagi: …Wait, huh? I’m feeling a heavy tug on it already!

Kafka: Already!? It might be a person, let’s reel them in quick!

Nagi: This is… a child’s rubber boots?

Nagi: I should’ve known I’d never actually fish up a fish…

Kafka: That’s…! 

Nagi: Hm?

Kafka: It’s the boots I lost here when I was a kid… 

Kafka: Thank you, Nagi! These are from a precious memory with the Chief that I really treasure.

Nagi: So that’s what it is.

Kafka: These boots were a matching pair with that of the Chief’s, but they flew off my feet while we were kicking around pinecones.

Kafka: This makes me so happy… Thank you, really!

Nagi: (I couldn’t catch a fish but, seeing as he’s so happy… it was lucky after all.)

Mistery on the Moonlit Passage - Track 02

Seasonal Event Story

I've translated chapter 2, Hope you enjoy!

~~~(flashback)

Ryui: Toi, you’re fine with 3 sugar cubes for your milk tea, right?

Toi: Yes! Thank you, Ani-sama!

Netaro: Ah! I am fairly certain I mixed in some of my special invention of “Wasabi Cubes that look Identical to Sugar Cubes” in that sugar pot there. 

Ryui: Pfghtt!!

Muneuji: Hm, a tea ceremony. Allow me to participate as a break from my studies.

Nanaki: …..

Nanaki: …*glance*

Chief: Yuki-nii, what did you want to talk about?

Kafka: It better be important enough for you to disturb my cozy tea time with the Chief.

Yukikaze: Indeed. This may lead to a new business opportunity for us. 

Nanaki: (...I wonder what it is…)

Yukikaze: The other day, my father was approached by the president of a cruise liner company for a discussion on reopening the Night Cruise, which had been out of operation for some time now.

Chief: A Night Cruise…! We do have a special tourist zone that’s facing the sea after all, it’d be great if we could make cruises more popular too!

Yukikaze: I thought that perhaps there was something we could do to help after hearing this from my father. Would it be difficult?

Kafka: Difficult? Who do you think you’re talking to? If we receive an official offer, HAMA Tours will promise to deliver. 

Yukikaze: Thank you. I’ll let him know.

Chief: It’s rare that we get a chance to help out on a cruise. Yuki-nii, did you get to hear any specifics about the discussion from Uncle?

Nanaki: (Chief’s eyes are sparkling…)

Yukikaze: The liner itself is ready to go, but since it hasn’t been in operation for a long time, they’re looking for advice on what they could offer as onboard services. 

Chief: I see… Then how about we have a soft opening with the members of HAMA Tours as guests?

Kafka: Good idea~♪ We can offer consulting after seeing how the soft opening goes.

Chief: Right, Yuki-nii, could you ask Liguang-san for his opinion as well? We could use the cruising sector from ward 4 as a reference. 

Yukikaze: Alright. Liguang himself probably won’t attend the soft opening, seeing as he’s been busy lately.

Nanaki: (Their conversation is progressing so smoothly… Kamina-san and Ooguro-san both know the Chief from childhood, huh…) 

Yukikaze: I’m excited to go on a cruise and see the night view of HAMA with you… 

Kafka: No one asked. 

Chief: We can discuss the specifics later in a meeting… Is there anyone here who’d be interested in participating? 

Muneuji: I would like to participate to broaden my horizons. It would also be beneficial if the swaying of the boat would help strengthen my core.

Chief: Um, I’m not sure about that… I’ve heard that they use AI to control large cruise ships such as these, so there shouldn’t be much swaying.

Netaro: Ooh~ I would love to see the internal structure myself! I’m coming too~

Yukikaze: There’s a sky deck as well, according to the pamphlet. It’s on this page here, Ryui.

Ryui: Who cares.

Toi: Wow, I’ve never been on a ship as big as this. I want to try it~

Ryui: Oi Kamina, hand over that pamphlet. 

Chief: How about you, Nanaki-kun?

Nanaki: Um… I want to join too. 

Nanaki: (Seeing the night view with the Chief… Maybe it could help set the mood…)

Nanaki: (–No, what am I thinking? There’ll be others on board too, there’s no way it’d turn out like I want it to…)

~~~(end flashback)

Location: Cruise Liner - Party Venue

Nanaki: (Way to set the mood…!)

Nanaki: Chief, please, wake up…!

Chief: ….. 

Nanaki: What should I do at a time like this… Hey, Andy!

Andy: …..

Nanaki: Wait, huh…? The reception was fine till just a moment ago… 

Ryui: Toi… Toi!! Dammit, where’s the captain!?

Yukikaze: I’ll go search for him. The rest of you, look after them. 

Muneuji: Everyone, please calm down. 

Ryui: How the hell am I supposed to calm down!?

Muneuji: It appears that they’re all simply asleep. 

Ryui: Huh…?

Toi: *soft snoring*

Ryui: …You’re right. That’s Toi’s usual angelic sleeping face.

Kafka and Kinari: *soft breathing* 

Akuta: Guoh… Pumpkin… Noodle soup… Pollock Roe… Espetada…

Yachiyo: Munya munya… I can’t eat anymoooore….

Yodaka: There’s no need to rush… Take it in slowly… All the way inside… 

Muneuji: Isotake and Fuefuki-san are both still clutching their plates… Looks like they’re enjoying a buffet in their dreams too.

Yukikaze: Yodaka-san seems to be conversing with Yachiyo in his sleep… What an amazing technique. 

Nanaki: I-If it’s even the same genre… 

Chief: *soft snoring*

Nanaki: (I didn’t think I’d get to see the Chief’s sleeping face… Their eyelashes…)

Nanaki: None of them look like they’re in a bad condition, so… I guess it’s okay?

Ryui: Like hell it is.
