Miyako and the Cats' Song Translation Chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Village Handyman
Azusa: Um, Miyako-san.

Miyako: What's up?

Azusa: Why did the cats brought you here in the first place?

Ui: I thought they didn't want anyone to know of this place.....

Miyako: Apparently they asked me to do them some favours.

Azusa: Do them....favours?

Ui: What sort of things are they exactly......?

Cat: Meow, meow.

Miyako: Ah, the cat over there is calling me. I'll be away for a little while!

Azusa: Ah, Miyako-san!

(Transition)

Cat: Meow, meow.

Miyako: Alright. I got it. Then I just have to get this big rock out of the way.

Cat: Meow meow.

Miyako: I guess it'd be tough for me to do it all alone..... Hey, can you two help out as well?

Ui: U-Us?

Miyako: Yeah. I'm trying to help this little cat here.

Azusa: O-Okay.... Heave-ho......

Miyako: Oooh. It moved right away with the three of us.

Cat: Meow meow!

Miyako: Thanks!

Azusa: N-No. You're welcome.

Cat (another one from afar): Meow, meow.

Miyako: Ah, this time it's the cat there who's fishing! Okay, here I come!

Azusa: M-Miyako-san!?

(Transition)

Cat: Meow, meow!

Miyako: It's pulling hard! You got a big one hooked alright! I suppose we'll have to pull the rod back together, right?

Cat: Meow!

Miyako: Alright, they've come! You two come help us out too!

Azusa, Ui: O-Okay!

(Transition)

Miyako: Ugghhh. What a pity..... We could catch that with just a little bit more......

Azusa: ......Miyako-san, the cats indeed ask you to do all sorts of things.

Ui: I think you're like a handyman here.

Miyako: A handyman huh. I guess so.

Miyako: At first, I was asked to do something about that rock which was blocking the path.

Ui: Just like a while ago?

Miyako: At that time I did this alone so it was so tough for me.

Miyako: Even for a human like me I was like that, then these cats wouldn't be able to move that even for a single inch.

Azusa: Cause the cats are smaller.

Miyako: Anyway, ever since I handled that rock, apparently the cats here had gotten to like me.

Miyako: And after that I started to help them with all sorts of favours.

Azusa: So you come here in order to hear their favours?

Miyako: Yeah yeah. I'm having a lot of fun myself doing all kinds of things.

Ui: I think I understand why Miyako-san got liked by the cats. And Miyako-san is like a cat in some aspects.....

Ui: These cats here too, when Miyako-san's here they'd call out to her.

Cats: Meow meow!

Ui: Ah, as I thought. They too are saying just that.

Azusa: You understand what they're saying?

Ui: I just thought they'd probably say something like that.

Miyako: Yeah. Somehow we understand~

Cats: Meow meow meow!

Azusa: I-I still don't understand anything they say.....

Miyako: Yet, the cats still look like they're liking you right? Azusa-shi.

The honorific -shi (氏) is normally used to refer to unfamiliar people in formal writing, and it's used by Miyako for comedic effect.

Azusa: Eh, r-really?

Cats: Meow meow meow meow!

Ui: Ah. Azusa-chan often wears cat ears, so for the cats she probably has the vibe of being in the same family.

Azusa: I don't wear cat eats that often!

Miyako: Eh? For real? I saw some pictures of you wearing cat eyes.

Azusa: It's Yui-senpai who gave them to you right? Geez..... When did she took such photos......

Cats: Meow meow meow!

Azusa: Wah, it tickles......

Ui: They purr when their neck is tickled. They're so cute.

Cats: Meow meow.

Azusa: These are....necklaces made out of flowers? You're giving these to us?

Cats: Meow meow!

Ui: Waah they're beautiful...... Thank you.

Miyako: Ahaha. You two have already become good friends with the cats.
