[Nagumo]

Yes~!!!! At last, I've finally finished all of Nanoha A's SOUND STAGE 1.
Jeez, I must have started to translate this thing almost a year and a half ago.

And no one else is willing to translate other bits and pieces of cd dramas in the mean time either... (weeps in disappointment)

I definitely feel good about finishing this... I'm might start translating the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha SOUND STAGE 01. Though I feel going back to first season's CD drama is a bit of a stretch now that 3rd season is upon us.

Perhaps I should go on to A's SOUND STAGE 2?



Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's SOUND STAGE 01

08. Yagamike Oden no Jikan, Ofuro no Jikan
08. Oden time, bath time at the Yagami household

Hayate: Okay, the shikomi (a oden food or soup base... don't remember which) is okay!
Viita: Mmm, it smells so good. Hayate, I'm hungry.
Hayate: Not yet, we have to let it be and eat after we take a bath.
Viita: But I really want to eat it now...(Lit: I'm really looking forward to it...)
Shamal: Viita-chan and Signum, why don't you try eating this okay?
Signum: What's this?
Shamal: It's a marinated dish I made. Seaweed and octopus with a sesame seed and vinegar dressing.
Viita: Is it safe?
Shamal: "Is it safe?"!?
Signum: Your cooking can be explosive at times, or should I say the chance of a serious mistake is...
Viita: Can't let appearances foll you.
Shamal: Aaa, you're so cruel!
Hayate: Shamal's cooking has improved a lot, it's fine. I tasted it earlier too.
Signum: Then there's nothing to fear.
Viita: Itaddakimaasu! (lit: I will now enjoy.)
Shamal: Ugh, Zafira! Don't you think our leader and attacker is terrible?
Zafira: Please don't ask me such questions...
Shamal: You too, Zafira? Your terrible...
Hayate: Shamal, Zafira's all concerned now. You can't get depressed over such a small thing.
Viita: Huh? Hayate, you didn't just overhear that telepathic conversation right now, did you? (bad translation)
Hayate: Huh, you were using telepathy?
Zafira: My apologies. I thought it was rather unimportant to say outloud.
Hayate: Oh it's all right. Zafira almost never speaks, so I'm happy to hear your voice sometimes.
Viita: Hayate, a question! Now that Zafira has heard that, what is he thinking right now?
Hayate: Oh, let me see. "Thank you for your kind words, but I don't believe in the excessive use of words", I think?
Shamal: Well?
Zafira: Utterly accurate.
Viita: Woooow. How did you know?
Hayate: Oh come on, I've lived with you for half a year now. I can understand, at least, this.
Signum: What a wonderful thing.
Shamal: It's so wonderful that we have such an understanding master.
Hayate: Even if you flatter me, nothing will come of it.
Shamal: Hahaha, now I wonder if the bath is ready.
Signum: Hm, it's definitely not up to Master Hayate's skill, but Shamal's not that bad.
Viita: Yeah, at least its something to fill our stomach.
Hayate: Hey now, Shamal is trying very hard. It's delicious. Here Zafira, have a taste. Ahhh...
Zafira: ... Ahh...
Shamal: AHHHH!!!
Signum: Shamal?!
Viita: What was that?!
Hayate: Shamal, what's wrong?
Shamal: Ahh... Oh, I'm so sorry! I made a mistake with the water temperature and now the bath's full of cold water!
Viita: Wha~!
Signum: I guess we need to reheat it then.
Hayate: Yeah but the hot water for this bath takes a lot of time to heat.
Signum: Shamal, pull yourself together.
Shamal: I'm so sorry.
Viita: Hey, Signum. If you fire up Laevantine and put it into the water, it should heat up real qui-
Signum: I refuse!
Viita: Well that was quick.
Hayate: As Master of the Book of Darkness, I could use my magic do something about this.
Shamal: No, that's all right. I guess I'll have to find a way somehow.
Signum: I'm the fire user but delicate/finer control is difficult.
Viita: If you cause a fire though, its not a laughing matter.
Hayate: Oh it's all right. If you think about, using magic for a something like this is bad.
All: Er...
Hayate: Hmm... Oh yea, Shamal.
Shamal: Yes.
Hayate: Did you keep the advertisements from the mail post?
Shamal: Yes but only this weeks though.
Hayate: Can it you bring it then?
Shamal: Okay.
Hayate: Let me see... Ah, here it is.
Shamal: Uminari Sparkle Pool (spara kua) Renovation re-opening
Signum: Special Anniversary discount (service).
Viita: What's this?
Hayate: A place where everyone gets into a big bath together.
Shamal: Everyone, you say?
Hayate: Oh, of course men are seperate. At the onsen there's a waterfall one, a bubble bath, a body vibration massage bath and black tea bath to choose from (bad translation). It says there are 12 different types of baths.
Signum: That sounds... quite nice but...
Viita: It looks fun.
Hayate: The admission price for the opening is cheap too. A group of more than three gets a discount. This is a great opportunity to go. Who wants to go!
Shamal+Viita: I do!
Hayate: Huh, other than me, only two of you want to go? (bad translation)
Signum: Um, yes.
(Hayate: Signum, what's wrong? Are you embarassed about getting naked infront of everyone?)
Hayate: Signum do you still feel that doing things with your master is a bad thing?
(viita: That's probably it)
Signum: Um... yes.
(Signum: Leave me be.)
Hayate: I don't know how many times I said this, it's great that you take your job as leader diligently for everyone but being too serious is bad as well.
(Shamal: It's women-only, so it should be all right?)
(Hayate: Yup.)
(Viita: Wow this looks great, ?Can't hear?)
Signum: My apologies.
(Hayate: See, you just go Hello! and ?can't hear? a bit then it's all right. ?really bad translation, can't hear anything?)
Hayate: If I say it's all right, it's all right. Seeing everyone's smile is my greatest joy.
Signum: I understand, I'm sorry to have troubled you.
(shamal: This black tea bath, it actually has black tea in it?)
(Hayate: It seems like it.)
Hayate: Don't be, if you truly believe I'm your master, you should just believe in me.
(viita: Oi Hayate, what's this? What's this?)
(Hayate: That's um, an ?something?)
Signum: Yes, I believe you, my master.
Shamal: But it seems like so much fun
Viita: It sure does.
Hayate: So, you should come too Signum.
Signum: I understand, I humbly accept your kindness
Viita+Shamal: Yeah!
Hayate: Zafira, you should come too. You could use your human form and wear normal clothes.
Zafira: Thank you for inviting me but I wish to be left behind to watch over the hosue.
Hayate: Really?
Zafira: Someone has to watch over the evening meal as well.
Viita: Oh yeah, Zafira's never really liked baths.
Hayate: Oh I see. Well, even if we all went, Zafira would end up alone on the men's side. Sorry about tonight, Zafira will look after the house then.
Zafira: As you wish.
Hayate: Okay everyone grab a change of clothes and a towel, it's time to get ready to head to the bath house!
Shamal+viita: Yeah!
Signum: Shamal, could you take care of my things as well?
Shamal: Okay.
Viita: I'm going to bring my bubble maker!
Shamal: (can't hear what Shamal's says)
Viita: Bubbles!
Zafira: So our master convinced/asked you to come?
Signum: Yes, but I wonder why. I feel ashamed/embarrassed but strangely my heart feels warm too.
Zafira: Perhaps this is how a true master and servant bond is supposed to feel/be.
Signum: Perhaps...
Zafira: I'm sure you feel uneasy but resting the body and mind is part of battle also. For now, it's best to enjoy relaxing with our Master.
Signum: You should get some sleep as well. We'll departing late at night again.
Zafira: I understand.
Shamal: Signum, we're ready!
Signum: Okay, I'm coming.
