Chiyo-chan's Day
Chiyo:
Good morning, Mr. Tadakichi.
This is Mr. Tadakichi.
He is always by my side.
He's been living with us since I was five years old.
When we first met, he and I were about the same size.
But Mr. Tadakichi grew and grew, and finally passed me.
Hm. Smile.
My day begins with preparing my lunch for school.
Asparagus with bacon, salad, and a small omelet to top it all.
Then, I wake up my mother and father.
It's morning!
And eat breakfast.
Chiyo:
See you later!
I'm off to school.
Chiyo:
It feels good when the weather is nice.
Oh, but my parents bought me a new umbrella, so little rain might not be so
bad, either.
Yuka:
Chiyo-chan!
Chiyo:
Uh.
Yuka:
Chiyo-chan!
Long time no see!
Chiyo:
Oh, Miruchi! Yuka!
Chiyo:
These are my classmates from grade school, Miruchi and
Yuka.
Chiyo:
Long time no see.
Yuka:
Wow, is that your high school uniform?
Miruchi:
It's the first time I've seen the summer one.
Chiyo:
It's really cute, huh?
Although, the skirt length is the same for winter as it is for the summer
time.
Chiyo:
They're in 6th grade, but I'm a second year student in
high school.
It's because I skipped forward to the first year of high school when I was in
5th grade.
Chiyo:
Oh, yeah! What's really popular at school right
now?
Yuka:
Jump rope!
It's gotten really popular again.
Miruchi:
Hm, And it's pretty fun too. Right?
Yuka:
And everyone can play too.
Chiyo:
Wow, jumping rope! That brings back
memories.
Yuka:
What's popular in high school?
Chiyo:
Huh?
Miruchi:
Yuka, Chiyo-chan's in high school now, so she doesn't play anymore.
Yuka:
Oh, you are right.
Chiyo:
We play around in high school too...
But I guess we don't do jump rope.
Sakaki:
Uh.
Chiyo:
See you around.
Miruchi:
Later.
Yuka:
Bye-bye.
Chiyo:
Miruchi and Yuka attend elementary school.
I was attending the same school just a while ago too, but...
Girl1:
We've got swimming today!
Girl2:
Yeah, swimming!
Girl3:
Oh, wait for me!
Wait!
Chiyo:
But... But I am... I am a high school
student.
Sakaki:
Morning.
Chiyo:
Oh, good morning, Miss Sakaki.
Sakaki:
Those are your friends?
Chiyo:
Oh, yes.
They're my classmates from back in grade school.
Chiyo:
If we go straight down this road, we get to my high school.
