A3! Translation - Izumida Azami SR 【A wish that is a secret to everyone】 「Tanzaku with a written wish」 (1/2)
Azami: Director.....that's an insane amount of vegetables.
Director: For dinner, I'm planning to make a curry using lots of summer vegetables to prevent summer fatigue.
Director: By the way, was there something you needed?
Azami: I'm gonna be going to my parents house tomorrow to pick bamboo, so I thought I'd let you know.
Director: Ah, that bamboo you mentioned before? But tomorrow seems pretty sudden.
Azami: I told them it was okay since we weren't in a hurry, but my dad keeps nagging me to come and pick it quickly because it'll be Tanabata by then.
Director: (I'm sure the Chairman really wants to see Azami-kun.)
Director: Everyone will be happy and grateful to have bamboo again this year. Please go and collect it.
Sakoda: Azami, welcome home!
Chairman: So you've finally come to pick bamboo.
Azami: I've already told you I didn't need it yet......
Chairman: You might not need it, Azami, but there are other young people who may feel differently.
Sakoda: That's right Azami! Maybe the Summer Troupe members would like decorating the bamboo!
Azami: Well, it is true that the Summer Troupe guys were making something and are probably gonna display it....
Sakoda: Then it'll be better to bring it sooner right?
Azami: You can decorate it in just a day.
Chairman: Well, that's fine isn't it? The sooner we can get it the better.
Makita: Bocchan, there are lots of bamboos in the garden. Please choose whichever one you like.
Azami: There are a lot? Got it, I'll go and check it out.
Azami: There's so many....... One would have been enough, but they prepared this many.
Makita: Ahh, well the Chairman told me to prepare a lot of things.
Sakoda: The bamboos that Azami doesn't choose will be donated to a nearby kindergarten or a store that children often go to, so don't worry!
Azami: I see. Which one to choose.....
Azami: (Ah, this bamboo's color is the prettiest)
Azami: I'll take this one.
Makita: As expected, you picked a good one. Well then, I'll get it ready so you can take it.
Azami: I'm counting on it.
Sakoda: I'll help out too!
Azami: (.....huh? That bamboo over there has something decorated on it)
Azami: (Are these all tanzaku* written by the members? I wonder what they wrote)
Azami: "World peace"....?
Young Yakuza Member A: Bon! That one's mine! If Bon reads it, I feel like it's gonna come true!
Young Yakuza Member B: Eee! Please read the rest of ours too!
Young Yakuza Member C: Please!
Azami: It can't be helped...
Azami: "I hope the idol Kocchan is able to become the center".....? This one is "Health First"......
Azami: This one says "I hope I can shake hands with the model Kika-chan" haa?
Azami: (I can't imagine these would be a Yakuza's wish...)
Young Yakuza Member B: Hurray, I got Bon to read it!
Young Yakuza Member C: I hope my wish comes true!
Azami: (I thought that people wouldn't actually believe this kinda thing.... but it turns out everyone does)
Young Yakuza Member A: Bon! Here's a tanzaku and a pen!
Young Yakuza Member A: Don't be like that. Please write your wishes down too, kay!
Azami: Hah!? I said I'm fine! I don't want to write it!
Young Yakuza Member A: Hahaa, well, I guess I have a complex about my handwriting.
Young Yakuza Member B: Mhm, it's cool, but it's round like a girls, so you probably don't want all of us seeing it right?
Young Yakuza Member B: Is that so? But it makes for a nice gap!
Azami: That's not what I'm talking about!
Young Yakuza Member C: If you don't want people seeing your tanzaku, you don't have to display it here.
Azami: Well, that's fine I guess.....
Azami: But you absolutely cannot come into my room while I'm writing it!
*tanzaku are long, thin strips of colorful paper used to write wishes on during the Tanabata Festival, and are normally hung on bamboo branches
