SNK AUDIO DRAMA - “The Survey Corps Muffler Incident” - Detailed Translation/Summary
[Translated by touchreceptors] With many, many thanks to fuku-shuu for announcing the existence of these (DL links here!), as well as for the initial shorter summary and the translations of 2 scenes, which I will merge into my translations below. I ended up translating about 80% of the lines directly, and I have summarized the other 20%.
I highly recommend checking out this 30-minute drama because there is HILARIOUS crack throughout, especially with the little twist at the end lol, and it is adorably domestic depending on how you look at it!
Read on for Erwin and Levi being the dorkiest pair of Scouting Legion parents and the 104th Squad being their silly adorable selves.
The track is called 調査兵団マフラー事件 and begins with Armin’s narration - a description of the Survey Corps as mankind’s last hope, as specialists in titan-killing and thus the strongest of the legions.
First scene opens with Erwin snoring in his office and then waking up because it was too warm. He realizes that it’s because he has a muffler wrapped around him, “I wrapped a muffler around myself and slept, huh?” No wonder it was so warm, he thinks, it’s because this muffler was—*DRAMATIC PAUSE*, as he realizes that that’s not the problem, but rather, Why was I sleeping with somebody else’s muffler - that I know nothing about - wrapped around my neck??
His thoughts are interrupted by an urgent knocking on the door and Eren’s voice asking if he can have a moment. Erwin asks him to wait for a bit while quickly shoving the muffler away in a drawer, before announcing “Enter”, and several of the survey corps rookie squad (Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Sasha) PILE INTO HIS OFFICE one by one announcing their names and saluting.
Erwin: “What’s the matter? Why are you all lined up like that? Did some kind of situation arise?”
Eren: “No, nothing that serious. But, actually… we’re looking for Mikasa’s muffler…”
Erwin (feigning ignorance): “Muffler?”
