Hibari, Rii-san and the Flower of Happiness Translation Chapter 4

Chapter 4: A Little Secret
???: Spoke!

Hibari: It definitely spoke just now, didn't it.

Yuuri: But it was still a little bud till yesterday, so how did this happen in such a sudden?

Yuuri: (As I thought, the chemical might have worked after all......?)

Hibari: (As I thought, it's the effects of the nutrients......?)

Hibari, Yuuri: No no. Even if that's true, there's no way it has grown this big......

???: This big.

Yuuri: Perhaps it's trying to imitate us talking.

Hibari: Seems like it.

???: It.

Yuuri: I'm Wakasa Yuuri. Please call me Rii-san.

???: Rii-san, Rii-san.

Yuuri: Wow. You said it well. Good plant. Hibarigaoka-san too, would you like to introduce yourself as well?

Hibari: A-Alright.... I'm Hibarigaoka Ruri. You can call me Hibari.

???: Hibari, Hibari.

Hibari: Incredible. It actually said my name properly.

???: Rii-san. Hibari.

Yuuri: Fufu. It's kinda cute.

Hibari: If we try to teach it, then it might eventually be able to learn a greater variety of words.

Yuuri: You're right. With the two of us, let's take care of this child from now on.

Hibari: ......Should we tell Cork that we're gonna be raising this plant?

Yuuri: Good question......

Yuuri: (Cork did say, it's better not to tell anyone if it successfully blooms.....)

Yuuri: (Right now it hasn't bloomed just yet.....I wonder if it's better not to tell anyone else about this)

Yuuri: .....Hey, how about we keep this as a secret between the two of us?

Yuuri: Even if we're telling someone, how about we tell them we're growing more of these plants?

Hibari: (This reminds me, that Leine-san asked me to keep this a secret if the flower blooms......)

Hibari: (The flower has yet to bloom at the moment......but just in case, it's better for us to keep this as a secret......)

Hibari: ......Good point. For the time being, let's keep this as a secret between us.

???: Secret, secret.

Yuuri: If it can speak, maybe we should give it a name.

Hibari: Indeed, "Flower of Happiness" is a bit of a mouthful.

Yuuri: Also we're going to raise it after all. It's necessary for it to have a name.

???: Name?

Hibari: Yes. It's something given to you and it's a unique way of addressing you only.

Yuuri: What should we call it...... That's it. Since it looks like a cactus......

TL: Cactus in Japanese is Saboten (サボテン).

Hibari: ......Sabo, maybe?

Yuuri: Oh my, isn't this a lovely name.

Hibari: Ah, umm...... I just said it without giving much thought, so maybe there's a name that's a bit better.....

Yuuri: No, this one's great. It's easy to understand, and it's easy to call, so I think it's a wonderful name.

Hibari: I-Is that so.

Yuuri: It's been decided. Your name will be Sabo.

Sabo: Sabo. Sabo. Name, Sabo.

Yuuri: See, it's looking as if it likes it. Hibarigaoka-san, why don't you try calling it as well?

Hibari: U-Umm...... .......Sabo.

Sabo: Sabo! Sabo!

Yuuri: It's delighted.

Hibari: Alright......Then from today onwards your name shall be Sabo.

Sabo: Sabo! Sabo! Sabo!
