Bowl of Yuki-shaped cereal
とあるスーパーにて
三つか四つくらいのお嬢さんが、
冷蔵棚の紙パックジュースをガン見なさっておられる。
やがて小さく
「さくらんぼ……」と呟くと、そっと手を伸ばしてジュースを取り、
側にいらした若いお母さんのカゴの中に黙って入れた。
お母さんは
「ダーメ!」とおっしゃってジュースを棚に戻す。
お嬢さん、再び暫しガン見の後、
やがてまだ黙ってジュースをカゴに入れ、
ひたむきすぎる瞳でお母さんをじーっと見上げる。
「ダメだったらダメ……だいたい野菜ジュース飲めないでしょ……」
しかし再びジュースを棚に戻しその場を立ち去るお母さん。
立ち去りがたくその場に佇み、
ジュースと見つめ合うお嬢さん。
やがて三たびジュースを手に取り、
歩いて行くお母さんの背後から近付き、
お母さんが脇を見ている隙にそっとカゴの中に配置。
気づいた様子の無いお母さん。
そのまま去って行く二人。
お嬢さんがカゴに滑り込ませたのはこのジュース。

「野菜ジュースが飲めない」らしいお嬢さん、
想像するに、「さくらんぼ」という文字しか読めない
もしくはイラストしか目に入っていなかったのじゃあるまいか。
果たして予想されるレジ前の攻防に勝利して、
彼女はさくらんぼミックスを手にする事が出来たのか。
そしていざ手に入れたそのさくらんぼが
実は野菜ジュースだったという衝撃の事実を
彼女は無事乗り越える事が出来るのか。
もしくはこの事件をきっかけに、野菜ジュース克服への道を
記念すべき今日という日に、
あの小さな少女は歩き出す事になるのだろうか。
今日の選挙の結果も勿論気になるけど
続きを知りように無い
このドラマの続きもかなり気になる私なのでした。
 
Such a drama

In a supermarket
there's a young girl (does that mean she's abotu 3-4 years old? never seen "tsu" counters being used for age?),
staring at the packed juices on the refrigerated shelf.
Soon she quietly
murmured "Cherry...", quietly reached out, took the juice,
and silently placed it in the shopping basket of her young mother who was by her side.
Her mother
said "No!" and put the juice back onto the shelf.
The girl, after staring again for a little while,
quietly placed again the juice into the basket,
and looked up at her mum with a too earnest glance.
"If I say no, it's no... Why don't you get some vegetable juice instead?..."
However, after placing the juice back onto the shelf, the mother left.
The girl hesitated a bit, about to leave,
while she and the juice were looking at each other.
Soon she grabbed the juice for the third time,
got near her walking mother from behind,
and secretly put the juice into the basket while the mother wasn't looking.
The mother didn't notice.
The two of them left like that.

The juice that the girl slipped into the basket was this one.
[Translator's notes: It's actually a "cherry mix" vegetable juice!]

The girl who seemed to think "I'm not drinking vegetable juice",
from what I imagine, could only read the characters for "cherry",
or maybe just noticed the illustration.
As a result, did she get to triumph on the battle in front of the register,
and obtain the cherry mix?
And now, when she took this cherry into her hands,
could she safely get over the shocking reality
that it was in fact a vegetable juice?
Or maybe, starting with this incident, this young girl decided that
she should celebrate this day
as she started to walk the way of victory over vegetable juices?

Of course I'm interested in the results of today's elections, but
I'm also interested in the continuation of this drama,
which there's no way for me to know.

EDIT: Oh dear, I read the translation again, it's horrible, especially near the beginning! :spotlight:
 
this is really funny :XD: somehow it kind of reminds me of hikaru's posts... :ayashii: and this story reminds me of when my brother and i would sneak snacks into our mother's basket and we still do sometimes :ohoho: :punched:

i totally forgot that the elections over there was today... i'm so behind on world news :leaf:
 
I saw the topic and I expected a blogpost about the Madoka OST, or Alleluia. Instead I got this. :XD:

Never change.
