Watanuki: Tea's ready!
Maru & Moro: Tea~~~~~! Tea~~~~~!

Yuuko: Mm,
      So sweet.
sfx: klack

Yuuko: Watanuki, you're so skilled at making tea.
Maru & Moro: Skilled~~~~ Skilled~~~~
Watanuki: (You're so cold that you're scary) Praising me won't work.

Yuuko: The dislike is from inside your heart, but there's no conspiracy here.
      However,

Yuuko: I just want you to be in a good mood. But if you can help me mow the lawn in the backyard later, that would be great!
      Riiight?
Maru& Moro: Right~~~~.
Watanuki: You were scheming something just now, weren't you!?!?

sfx: drip

Watanuki: Wasn't it a clear day?

sfx: shaaaa

Watanuki: Eh?
         Huh?
         (Wah!) Why is it raining on such a nice day?

Yuuko: The fox spirit, Kitsune, takes a bride.
Watanuki: The fox spirit?
Yuuko: It's when it rains while the Sun is out.

Yuuko: On these kind of days,
      you can listen carefully.

Watanuki: What do you...
         mean?

Yuuko: Maru!
      Moro!
Maru & Moro: 'Kaaay
sfx: shi~ng

Yuuko: You can use a piece of glass or a small mirror.

Yuuko: Hold it to your heart.
      Close your eyes, and the first words you hear is an Omen.
      It's a variation of fortune-telling they call Tsujiura*.
Watanuki: Eeh~~~

*Ed.Note (Tsujiura): Slip of papaer with a fortune-telling message, street fortune-teller.

Yuuko: (In Tsujiura, you put a mirror to your heart, walk down a path, and the first words you hear is the omen. Try it if you'd like.)
       You only need to wait for the day when the fox spirit takes a bride. When the Sun shines down on the rain, power and accuracy are added to the listening divination.
       As a result, you get an omen that is almost a certainty.

Yuuko: Want to try it?
sfx: swoh

Yuuko: Lose your eyes and open your ears.
      You don't need concentration or even think.

Yuuko: You only need to listen for the first sounds.

Yuuko: Is that so...?

Watanuki: I'm not saying...(I just don't really understand, honestly!)

Yuuko: We need to be prepared...
      Prepared to welcome them.
