Client: Something wrong?
Watanuki: Oh, no, sorry.
I was just thinking, it's a large house.
Client: That store is a fantastic building too.
Watanuki: Indeed.
The owner is, well, fantastic too, though.
Mokona: Watanuki, you're a friend of that too.
[02]
Watanuki: Augh!
FX: Sudden
Hey!
Kids are walking past the wall outside or something!
I heard a voice from outside-- Ah ha ha!
Mokona: Mugyu!
Watanuki: Ah!
From outside again!
FX: Sudden
Client: Outside?
Watanuki: Cooking!
Right! Cooking!
Let's make something!!
Client: Yes,
Thanks in advance.
[03]
Himawari: So?
How was the cooking client?
Tampopo: Pi!
Watanuki: Well, you know,
She can do it properly, that woman.
She doesn't wash the rice with detergent, there's no improvement to be made,
She can use a kitchen knife properly, and she measures out weights without error.
Even if she doesn't learn anything from me, I think she'll be fine.
[04]
Himawari: Really.
Tampopo: Pi!
Watanuki: Sheesh,
Rather than teaching cooking, intercepting Mokona trying to eat snacks was the worst.
Himawari: What did you make?
Watanuki: Since it was the beginning, I thought something easy would be best, so
These.
[05]
Watanuki: Peel the potatoes, and cut them into eight equal parts.
Blanch them in sufficient water.
Afterward, put enough water to cover the potatoes in the pot, and boil them at medium heat for about 15 minutes.
When the potatoes are cooked, discard the water.
Add sugar and soy sauce to the pot, and return to medium heat.
While shaking the pot, the water content evaporates.
The flavors penetrate the food after the heat is turned off, so leave it be for a little while.
Himawari: Amazing, Watanuki.
Watanuki: No, this is simple.
FX: Ding dong. ding dong {electronic}
Himawari: Oh, sorry.
I have duty today, so I'll go on ahead.
[06]
Himawari: Thanks for the meal.
Watanuki: Nah, it was poor. [TN: This is a ritual phrase.]
Himawari: Doumeki-kun, I'm going ahead.
Doumeki: Yeah.
Watanuki: Ah, that's right.
Himawari-chan, you like chiffon cake, right?
Himawari: Yes.
Watanuki: I found a place on the way to the cooking client's house.
Would you like to go with me next time?
[07]
Himawari: ....
...Yes.
I'm looking forward to it.
Watanuki: Me too.
[08]
Himawari: Will you come too, Doumeki-kun?
Doumeki: Yeah.
Himawari: Later, then.
FX: Hmm
Watanuki: Yeah,
See you later!
FX: Hmm
FX: Munch munch
Geez,
You really eat well.
Were you undernourished as a child?
No, a child isn't old,
You an undernourished student?
FX: Munch
[09]
Watanuki: Here, eat these too.
FX: Roughly
[10]
Watanuki: Huh?
[11]
Watanuki: What's wrong?
Doumeki: ....
These.
Was the person who made them
That person who asked at the shop to learn cooking?
[12]
WatanukI: Um, well,
Yeah, while I was telling her various things, but
The ingredients and the amounts were the same as when I always make them.
Since I didn't know that person's level of skill, it's a bit of an easy version, but the flavor shouldn't change that much.
Did it taste bad?
Doumeki: ...No.
Watanuki: Then what?
Though you always eat vast amounts without stopping--
Oh shizzy he ate one! OH NOES Doumeki don't die, we need you to be ready for the opportune moment! I saw a play like this called "Hamlet" and everyone was dead at the end--well okay not quite like this.
Oh Clamp, you could write food porn if you ever gave up on the manga thing. Also, was it me, or did this chapter look a lot like Legal Drug?
Client: Something wrong?
Watanuki: Oh, no, sorry.

(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-05 14:04 (UTC)YOU THERE! CAKE OR DEATH?
Death! Ah, no no, I meant cake!
Well you said death first. Oh well, guess you can have cake.
xDDDDDDDDD

Date: 2008-09-05 13:44 (UTC)Nah, I don't think Doumeki will die. Just choke on in or something
then Watanuki give him CPR.. I think Watanuki's reaction was just him realizing that something was wrong with the food or remembering what Haruka said.(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-05 13:53 (UTC)CPR? Are we going there? Okay then. :-)
(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-05 13:57 (UTC)Naaah I don't think Doumeki will die, they just need food porn... oops yeah this is seinen LOL
(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-05 14:52 (UTC).. xD
don't say that you'll jynx it. I MEAN NO ONE HAS DIED YET RIGHT ;_;- well. exceptrandomcustomersbuttheyttlydon'tcount

Date: 2008-09-05 15:10 (UTC)You really do a great job with it ^__^
(no subject)
Date: 2008-09-05 16:29 (UTC)But idk...Doumeki's reaction does not bode for a well happy future...and i worry if i say he won't die taht he actually will...but who dies in CLAMP world from posioned food...they might fall injured and be left to the sideless for some time while our hero/love interests goes to find a cure...
BTW...this is the second time Doumeki has issues with food in this series... >.> I clame it his kriptonight *nods*
Thanks for translating<3

Date: 2008-09-06 16:36 (UTC)I don't know if "poisoned" is the right word, but, realistically, maybe Doumeki's reaction is not necessarily fatal but more of a pointer that the client has issues? Which we probably could have guessed, but Watanuki can be a bit thick, so maybe this is how we will figure it out.
