Hibari, Rii-san and the Flower of Happiness Translation Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Abnormalities in Town
Hibari: Botan, you really should let me carry these for you.

Botan: No thanks, this much I can handle. What I'm carrying is the fertiliser for Sabo after all......

Hibari: But still it's best if you don't push yourself too hard......

Botan: I'm thankful for your concern. I'm fine carrying these.

Hibari: Wouldn't you get yourself hurt, just as usual?

Botan: No, I'll be fin...... (Crack!)

Hibari: See! That sound just now! A joint of yours just got dislocated again, didn't it!?

Botan: No, it's probably the sound of the fish bone that's stuck in my throat yesterday detaching.

Botan: I'm sure that's thanks to the strength I put to carry these. Instead of getting myself hurt, I'm feeling rather lucky today.

Hibari: Would fish bones really make such a sound!? And also that's from yesterday!? There's too much to say in return......

(Transition, onto a different discussion....)

Clea: ......You're right. The flower bed I've been growing has completely withered away......

Leine: This has become an issue that's a bit serious......

Cork: But we still don't understand well what the cause behind this is, so even if we manage to come up with a solution......

Kirara: What exactly is going on in town right now......?

(Transition, back to Hibari and Botan)

Botan: Kirara-san and others are gathering over there.

Hibari: They seem to be in a serious discussion about something.....

(Transition)

Botan: Um, everyone.

Kirara: Ah, it's Botan-san and Hibari-san.

Hibari: What are you all doing here?

Kirara: Right. Actually......

(Transition, to Yuuri's Garden....)

Yuuri: The vegetation in town look lifeless?

Hibari: Yes. They said they're wilting and withering suddenly in this short period of time.

Yuuri: ......Now that you said so, look. The avenue there too has more falling leaves as well.

Botan: You reminded me too. I can remember that this is the same here and there......

Hibari: But each and every one of these crops here in this garden all look full of energy, that's why I never noticed that.

Yuuri: You're right. Especially for Sabo, it's growing bigger and bigger really quickly......

Sabo: ......Did you call my name? Rii-san.

Yuuri: No, it's nothing. Don't mind that.

Sabo: Okay. I understand.

Sabo: ......Um, teach me more about the world or speaking.

Yuuri: But we're already running out of things to teach you.

Hibari: Yeah yeah, cause Sabo is such a quick learner.

Sabo: There's still much for me learn. So tell me more, and more!

Yuuri: Alright, I got you. Let's see, I wonder what we can teach you to speak today?

Yuuri: (They say that the vegetation are getting lifeless..... The time just so happens to overlap with the time since Sabo was able to speak.)

Yuuri: ................ But, it couldn't be, right?
