this is the long awaited translation entry .. and i'm sorry to keep everyone waiting..(´Д`υ)
anyway, i hope you guys enjoy reading the story, this was in a way funny .. i envy Nao for having such control with his emotion
it's good that he can always see the brighter side of life and laugh off the bad experience.. i wish he could teach me how.. hehe..(^∀・)=☆
in a way, this translation is an achievement for me too, coz i haven't touch any japanese material since i finished my diploma a bit more than half a year ago..
and yes, it's kinda rusty.. so i apologize for that.. anyway, some of the words Nao wrote really doesn't make sense, so i kinda took the liberty to change around the translation just a little.. to make more sense of it..
well, lastly, i really hope you guys enjoy this.. and mm may i add doing translations sure makes one hungry..
i want shabu shabu/ sukiyaki/ onabe.. and damn it's so hot out here!
This is Nao. Happy New Yeaaar chaa~~an.
Together, let's make this year into a year full of smile, kay! anyway, please keep on supporting us!
Now, my first [memory talk] of this year is! a loong time ago, when i still smelled of fish and wasn't a city boy yet, an acquintance sold me a scooter.
My feeling at the time was probably like [I'll live wherever the wind lead me], a concept shared by Nausicaa that was growing inside me.
This way, it's all relaax on the way to my part time job! And I think the way to studio is also satisfying*
Then, one day I was going to my morning part time, walking to my parking spot while holding my beloved vehicle key on one hand... it was gone...
instead of my scooter, i found a family of cats.... it was stolen~, it was gone with the wind~
i was extremely pissed off, but somehow the anger turned into laughter.
i felt like i just have to tell someone about this weird experience. it was too good to be missed!
so without wasting anymore time, i gave Isshi a call [Ah, Isshi, i have a funny story, do you wanna hear it?]
then Isshi answered [what is it? what's going on?] in such spirited voice!
then with a dropping voice i told him [my scooter was stolen!] to which Isshi responded with [Bwahahahahhahahahahahah... click]
i was amused that i made isshi laughed until the phone connection was cut.
then i proceeded to call Izumi, after explaining the whole situation to him, he offered to help me search for it.
we searched and searched in desperation and never managed to find it... but, one evening 3 months after the scooter was stolen,
I received a phone call from Izumi [Naoran! i found your scooterrr! it's on the opposite of the supermarket near your houseee! come here quiiickkk!!]
soon i rushed out from home like a truck running, to meet with Izumi.
My beloved scooter was in such a devastating state, but when my anger was just rising to my head..
i met Izumi's eyes for a second, and both of us ended up laughing out loud.
probably because it was the only thing i can do anyway.
but for me, even though the scooter was broken and sad, at least it was returned to me, and with that i was glad!
But, whoever stole my scooter! I'm gonna crush you!!
and that was my memory talk!
i sure think everyone understands this but, NEVER EVER steal someone else's belonging! It's a CRIME!!
by the way, my beloved scooter's name was [black panther].
anyway, see you in next edition!
this is Nao signing off!!
note
* Nao's original word was リサティスファイ which reads as resatisfy.. and i wasn't sure how to make sense of this word in the sentence...
so i changed the word a little...as you noticed (´□`;) hope nobody minds..
