Omake 1

Since I occasionally run across funny sentences or interesting grammar points that are too early to put into a lesson, I’ve decided to include short ‘omake’ or extras!

I came across this sentence: ぼーっとしていて、昨日財布をどこかに落としてしまったんです。

which some of my American friends translated as (using Google): “I was drowning, and dropped my wallet somewhere yesterday.”

I was drowning, and dropped my wallet somewhere yesterday. (-_-;)・・・ 

It actually means: “I was being absent minded, and unfortunately dropped my wallet somewhere yesterday.” Which somehow still sounds like Dazai-san (￢_￢;)

How google comes up with ‘drowning’, I have no idea! ヽ(ˇヘˇ)ノ  

Anyway, rapid sentence breakdown:

ぼーっとする botto suru: to do nothing worthwhile; to abstractedly/dazedly/dreamily do something, aka to be absent minded ～ていた:  ~teita: was doing X ～て: te form: sentence/verb connector ぼーっとしていて: botto shiteite: was being absent minded 昨日: きのう:kinou:  yesterday 財布: さいふ:saifu:  wallet を: o particle: marks a direct object (the thing you do an action on) どこか: dokoka: somewhere に: ni particle: marks direction/location 落とす: おとす:otosu: to drop 落として: おとして:te form of otosu ~てしまう:  ~teshimau: ‘unfortunately does X/ X unfortunately happens’ ~てしまった: ~teshimatta: past tense: unfortunately did X ~んです:~ ndesu: ‘n’ added to plain forms, gives a bit of emotion or empathy, and followed by da or desu

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING... different, I dunno.

So in the middle of 6 and 7 I get an omake? Sure

Interesting words from Miki Bukimi (the mangaka right?) SHY first is generally a history about self hatred... okay can we stop for a second and everyone that relates to the story give themselves a hug? is that okay?

... *hugs self* okay moving on

Miss Miki is the sorting hat? I dig it

Simple explanation of the bracelets to transform and nice tangentially related trivia... I think I love to swing a very lame replica of the sword of Thundera when I was little...

Teru is 14, likes horror movies (huh...) and yes Miss Miki, she is a character one can’t help but cheer for. 

Then description of Iko... nothing to stand out beyond also being good in gymnastics (and NO SHIT we want her to find happiness after all we saw)

Okay there is a legit Omake, for a sec I thought we were getting only descriptions of characters

Iko asking the important questions I see

Iko has become Tomoyo Daidouji... AND IM HERE FOR THIS LETS GO!!!!

Okay nice bit and all but now I’m remebering (vaguely) one of the many messed up moment in Sailor Moon where the bad guy hits Usagi RIGHT at the end of her transformation, leaving her mostly naked and unconsious on the floor... My mind went places it doesnt want to return so please try to not tell what exactly happened that time

okay apparently that WAS the only omake but there’s also an illustration and a heartwarming afterword by Miss Miki... me likes :)

Fairy Tail Manga Omake 1 - Happys Little Job

Eating Together, Drinking Alone Omake

So, we’re about 1/3 of the way through, and I decided to write an omake (bonus chapter). I just love omake. Also, I’m not feeling too well, so this gives me a break. I shall return with chapter 11 next week!

Omake: Shogayu

Something was definitely strange, Kenshin thought as he draped a blanket over the clothesline. Shishou spent his time at the Akabeko, leaving after breakfast and returning late at night. If it weren’t for Yahiko letting him know, he would have assumed his master was lying drunk in a ditch.

“He’s been helping out, doing whatever Tae says.” Yahiko had scratched his head over this. “He’s not even getting paid!” He wasn’t paid in alcohol either, given that he didn’t reek of it when he eventually returned.

Kenshin sighed as he smoothed a shirt’s crease. While it was true that Shishou did whatever he liked, it wasn’t easy to motivate him. So, if it wasn’t money or sake, what was it? Tae-dono would know…or, was it Tae-dono herself that drew his master to the restaurant?

His haughty, antisocial master, suddenly interested in a woman? Had he glimpsed her from the window and been love-struck? The possibility was as strange as snow tomorrow, but not implausible.

His thoughts were interrupted by Yahiko, sprinting across the yard to head for the Akabeko. Aoshi and Misao had offered to babysit again; behind the wall, there were feet shuffling and stepping, indicating that they were preparing to go as well.

He lifted the empty laundry basket and decided that he would brew a pot of ginger tea. It would warm their bellies and counter illness. With Kenji in the house, it’d be disastrous if anyone fell sick. Just as he opened the sliding door, he was met with a bulky presence.

“I’m going out.” His master grunted and moved past him.

“Goodbye, Shishou.” He then added, almost offhandedly. “Have fun with courting.”

That resulted in a definite reaction. Shishou spun around, with an impressive glare. “Don’t mistake interest for love.”

He widened his eyes, keeping them round and innocent. “Oro, are you interested in Tae-dono?”

“I never said that, baka deshi.” With that, he was off.

Kenshin suppressed a grin. Who was the idiot now?

***

“He’s gone to see Tae?” Kaoru repeated, disbelieving. She blew at her ginger tea to cool the surface, before taking a sip. “Is that what he’s been doing?”

He swallowed his tea and nodded. “This one thinks so. He did react badly, when this one said it was courting.”

She set her cup down with shaking hands and couldn’t stop herself from giggling at how bold he was. “Kenshin, I can’t believe you said that!”

“But, it was proof.” He amiably replied, moving to sit next to her, and their shoulders touched. “Still, this one finds it strange.”

“It’s not so hard to believe. Tae has nice eyes, like a doe’s.” She mused aloud. “And she’s single. I think Otou-san was the only one who ever proposed to her.”

She didn’t learn about the proposal, until after her father had left. Tae had been uncharacteristically troubled, confessing that she had rejected the offer. She explained her reasons why and asked Kaoru not to think any less of her. As if she would, she’d answered and was actually relieved. It would have been awkward, because Tae had been her friend first.

“If he keeps going back, that could mean she doesn’t mind him being around. So, she might like him, right?”

“Hm, maybe…?” He seemed preoccupied, sliding his hand around her waist and kissing the space below her ear.

She laughed, a little breathlessly. “You’re not listening at all, are you?”

“This one is being very attentive.” He tried for a clueless expression. It was a contrast to his fingers working at the knot of her obi and diving under cloth.

Well, they could always continue the conversation later. She turned and gently moved him onto his back. “Not attentive enough.”

He smiled up at her. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Yeah, a really long time.” Kaoru fairly purred. “But Kenshin, we have guests.”

“Then, we will have to be fast.” He breathed before capturing her mouth with his own.
