[Labyrinthine Aquarium]

Haruhi Ichikawa - Resonance: Within the Aquarium Where Tails Touch R Card Translation (featuring Aizawa | Shinkai & Yashiro mentioned)

Chapter 1

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: (Fish are hella tough, impressive creatures. They just keep swimming and swimming.

If I remember correctly, for some, either they move or they die. Me? I wouldn’t last more than a couple of seconds like that. I feel for ‘em.)

I’m here at the aquarium with my coworkers.

To no one’s surprise, I had to excuse myself from our group and find myself a bench.

???: There you are, Ichikawa~

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Mm?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: I’m right here!

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Oh… Hey, Aizawa.

SHINOBU AIZAWA: How are you feeling? Cool if I sit next to you?

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Much better. Go ahead, the seat’s all yours…

I’m guessing Shinkai asked him to go check on me.

Aizawa and I… we don’t have much in common. Neither of us happen to be the type to interact with people more than necessary.

SHINOBU AIZAWA: What a pretty sight, huh?

Oh, hey! I just saw a fish that resembles you, Ichikawa.

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Say what?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: I’m talking about that little guy. So it’s called… a butterflyfish!

Aizawa points at this yellow and black fish swimming leisurely as he takes a step closer to the tank to check the placard for its name.

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Uh-huh… Like in terms of our color scheme, you mean?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Sure, but it says here that this little guy can also be a challenge to feed.

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Sure? Also? What’s that supposed to mean?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Nyahaha!

He laughs his way out. Our conversation naturally dwindles down after, and we spend the next couple of minutes peering into the tanks.

That is, until Aizawa gave me a sniff, unprompted.

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Dude… What gives?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Do you wear perfume?

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Naw, I make it a point not to ‘cause I have a cat. Name’s Okoge, by the way.

…Why do you ask?

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Sooo get this: Yashiro was with us earlier and I noticed you lowkey smell like her.

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Huh...?

(I mean, how does that even–)

—happen? I almost blurted, but then I recalled what I did. Now that he mentions it…

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Right… I did lend her my jacket on our way here. Since it rained all of a sudden and she didn’t bring an umbrella.

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Ah, that explains it. You’re too nice~

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Nah, not really…

SHINOBU AIZAWA: I bet you got wet ‘cause of that though, didn’t you?

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: I guess…

(Even then, I don’t see how that could warrant praise.)

At most, all I did was extend a helping hand where I could.

SHINOBU AIZAWA: You know, to say you resemble a butterflyfish might not be too off the mark. Those little guys are never alone when they’re swimming; I figure it’s to keep its pair safe.

Did I just make the perfect comparison or what?

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: Well, it does say here butterflyfish are often found in pairs.

But not necessarily to keep the other one safe like you said, I think. That’s probably just the way they are.

SHINOBU AIZAWA: Ooh! So in order words, that makes them a monogamous fish species, huh?

Would you, by any chance, consider yourself the devoted type?

HARUHI ICHIKAWA: (By any chance…)

I mean, I dunno... Let's just say I do.

"See? You’re a butterflyfish, all right," Aizawa laughs at my response.

Within the dazzling underwater world, a pair of fish flutters their fins side-by-side.
