Nasu Volume 3 Chapter 24 Summer Is Coming - Page 169 - Chapter 24 - Summer Is Coming - Page 170 - Takama: Muhh. Urrrggg. - Page 171 - Takama: Whuh... What time... Oh shit. Uhh... First... - Page 172 - Takama: Gotta hurry. Aaaah! - Page 173 - - Page 174 - Ohnishi: I don't remember a thing. Need to back the car in... then I got sleepy. That's all I know. Takama: You're going to die if you keep working without sleep. Ohnishi: It's not that I work without sleep, I just don't sleep much, period. You got a hangover? With who? Yourself? A hangover on your own... how pathetic. Takama: Ughhh. - Page 175 - Ohnishi: German cars are tough. Takama: No, my shed is weak. Ohnishi: Oh. Weird that I got sleepy on the way. Takama: Urpp. I wasn't done with my bath. Going back in. Ohnishi: Was that my fault? Takama: I was wondering what to do. Ohnishi: About what? - Page 176 - Aya: {What should I do...?} Katsutoshi: Aya, scissors... Aya: Here you go... Katsutoshi: What were you hiding? You looked SUPER surprised. Aya: Nothing. I did not. - Page 177 - Katsutoshi: Where are you going? A date! Date! Date! Date! Kuwabara: Oh YEAH, baby! Aya: Hey. I won. The lottery ticket you gave me won. Kuwabara: How many millions? 200? 300? Aya: (shhh) Third place, 10 million. - Page 178 - Kuwabara: Awww. Still, that's awesome. Aya: You DID pick the number, technically. Kuwabara: I didn't even look at the number. Aya: Is there anything you want? Kuwabara: Nah, you use it. Aya: If I do, it'll disappear in no time. I don't really want to just put it in savings, either. (that's so cheap) Sign: Eggplant Curry Kuwabara: Why don't you pay for college? Aya: No, it's too late for that. Kuwabara: Hire a detective and find your dad! Aya: C'mon, I don't want to do that, either. I got this ticket from you, I don't want to just spend it on myself. Kuwabara: That is SO hot when you say that. Aya: ...get serious. - Page 179 - Aya: What I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be for the SAKE of anything particular. Let's have some fun with it. Kuwabara: How about we use the money to get a license and a bike and go tour the country? Aya: Rejected. Kuwabara: Let's go on a vacation. Aya: Two minors? Kuwabara: To Bali or something. Aya: I don't really wanna go anywhere. Kuwabara: I can't wait until I'm 20. Aya: {Will we still be going out at 20?} I'm sure I could use it up in a snap on books or clothes or makeup... (like "give me everything on this shelf") Kuwabara: You could. Aya: I was thinking you wouldn't be any help since your ideas are so half-baked... but I actually feel better now. Kuwabara: Cool. Aya: You can't really do much with 10 million yen. - Page 180 - Takama: And this professor died, so they wondered if I would teach in his place. At the University of San Francisco. Ohnishi: So then the wine tasted good. Takama: Yeah. ...right. - Page 181 - Takama: I'll never get another chance like this. So I was wondering what to do. Ohnishi: You're not going? Takama: I was planning on living the rest out here. Not for any reason... But there's a reason to go. Ohnishi: That's a problem. Takama: It is a problem. - Page 182 - Ohnishi: I might be able to sleep normally. I've never actually fallen asleep on the way here before. Takama: Isn't that dangerous? I can come get you, you don't have to drive. Ohnishi: Maybe I don't need to come here to sleep. Takama: ...I see. Ohnishi: Maybe something will change. - Page 183 - Takama: Then... You'll stop coming? Ohnishi: I don't know. You'd be free to go to America, wouldn't you? There are no second chances in life. Takama: Yeah. That's why I don't want any bother. Ohnishi: We should start something. The younger people at my work are doing well. I'd like to start something new. That's how you felt when you bought this farm, right? Takama: Dunno, I forgot. - Page 184 - Takama: Au revoir! Auf wiedersehen! - Page 185 - Takama: When the hell did I get a white suit? Ohnishi: You have a visitor. I suppose you'd be happier here with all the attractive young women. Takama: (mmm?) Aha, she can't get enough of me. Aya: Actually, Ohnishi: I'll make some tea. Aya: I want to know what to do with 10 million yen. Takama: Give it to me. Aya: I'm not giving it away. Takama: Then use it however you want. - Page 186 - Kuwabara: I have to climb all the way up the hill? I'll die of heat exhaustion first. Takama: Buy a white suit, get on a ship with 10 million yen. That is classy. Aya: What ship are you taking? Ohnishi: Does that mean you're going to San Fran? Takama: No, just imagining. She's not giving me the 10 million. Aya: I need to find out a cool way to spend 10 million yen. (thanks) Ohnishi: I'd buy a painting with 10 million yen. Tour the galleries and find a really nice one. - Page 187 - Takama: See? Them rich folks have different ideas. Aya: That's a pretty high-class choice. Ohnishi: Go to an art gallery with 10 million yen. You'll be looking at art differently. You'll be a connoisseur. Aya: I get it. When I have a job and live in an apartment I paid for myself, I'll have a painting I picked out on the wall. I have no idea what kind of painting it will be. That's a really good idea. Ohnishi: This is off topic, but I mentioned starting something new, earlier. I want to plant a tree here. Is that OK? To celebrate this new feeling. Takama: What kind of tree? - Page 188 - Ohnishi: Don't they plant paulownias when girls are born? Takama: A paulownia, then? Aya: You finally made it. Kuwabara: That was NOT a "little" climb. Aya: I just remembered, Saki's about to have her baby. Kuwabara: Oh really? I forgot about that. Takama: Want some tea, boyfriend? Kuwabara: Thanks, man. Aya: Let's go see the baby when it's born. - Page 189 - Aya: I'm going to buy a painting, Kuwabara. Kuwabara: Whaaat?! Aya: Bad idea? Kuwabara: That's cool. Aya: Be sure to come check it out. Kuwabara: Yeah. ART, man. - Page 190 - Ohnishi: In 20 years, it'll be big enough to make a chest of drawers. Takama: Should be perfect size for a casket in 30. - Page 191 - - Page 192 - Old Man: Years ago, folks used to live as far down as that paulownia tree. Young Guy: You better not start reminiscing out loud, Grampa. - Chapter 24 End - - Page 193 - Thank you so much for reading. Please check out any future efforts. Na-su Omake [Eggplant Namul] During the manga, I just kept buying eggplants out of duty I guess, until I realized that I had way too many, and I didn't have the guts to pickle them, so I mostly just made this. 1) Cut as thin as possible 2) Two minutes in the microwave. (though steaming them might be better) 3) Add * Soy Sauce * Sesame Oil * Sesame Seeds (Grate garlic and ginger however you like) Stir it up while it's hot, then eat it when it's cool. A useful experiment for when you think, "If I still have some left over, I'll use them next time." In 2002 Oscar Sevilla didn't do a whole lot, which is unfortunate. But he's young, so we can root for him in the long run. I think he won one race at the end of the season... right? * The team looked on the verge of breaking up (still is) * Resigned the Tour de France (stomach pains) * His teammates won in the Vuelta a Espana, but it kind of had a bad aftertaste. -> like he was about to cry. * Appeared stark naked in the pages of J-sky Sports I wanna say, it would be rad if he overcame these tribulations to become even better. But in reality, it doesn't seem like he'll be brushing others aside to win. I went and saw them making the Summer in Andalusia film. They were doing stuff on the computer, it was great. I even got to try my hand at a bit of it... it was embarrassing, really. The bikes all attack the corners in a pack, they let go of the pedals when they oversteer, they pass each other... It's definitely a kind of thing I've never seen animated before! I hope you all go see it and are amazed, when it comes out. I was already shocked enough that an anime was being made from my manga, but seeing it in motion is even more unbelievable. - Page 194 - In the end, because it was only about "eggplants" I never really had any idea of what the next chapter would be about. I guess that's not much different from normal manga, though. I actually don't remember why I even decided on eggplants in the first place. See you later. (continued from vol. 2) 1. Guy: (rarrr) Guy: Wait up, baby! Eggplant Girl: Yaaah! 2. Spirit: Which did you drop in, this silver eggplant or this gold eggplant? Materialization: (Bafooom) 3. Guy: GOLD 4. Kuroda: Have a good one! Eggplant: We're HUGE! Nasu: The End - Volume 3 End - Project started September 4, 2003. Project finished December 11th, 2004. All translations by Stephen Paul.
