	When I look closely I see that ‘Parents and children’ was roughly written onto a piece of paper that was pasted onto the flyer. The previous plan might have been for ‘men’. Greta ran over to a woman handing out the flyers and promptly started showering her with questions.

Greta ran over to a woman handing out the flyers and promptly started showering her with questions<ref>Parents and children here is one word in Japanese (oyako) and the word for man/men is ‘otoko’ so the original Japanese says that the piece of paper is pasted over the middle of ‘oyako’ not the whole thing because they only needed to change the ‘ya’. Didn’t make much sense in English though ^_^;</ref>.

	Swinging what? Before I could ask, I ended up imagining it. Not just a little, but completely. Bravo, bra ball, no, bra boy. ~~(6)~~		Swinging what? Before I could ask, I ended up imagining it.

	After we were told to rent a bathing suit if we didn’t have our own, we moved to the next table. We might have been close to the pool because the smell of water got stronger.

			The parents and children only swimming competition was fun as it went along and even though our family had an odd composition, we got good results in the cavalry battle and water polo. Potatey, Brocco and Celery were hated by everyone just like we had heard and the children all ran away from them shrieking. Among them were a few brave children who fought back against the Vegetable Kingdom outlaws with kickboards, but what I was concerned about was Greta’s eyes.

There’s no way my cute little girl would admire the villains<ref>To be honest, I’m not really sure what ‘cavalry battle’ is called in English or if there even is an English term for it. But basically it’s like flag tag but with groups of four instead of individual people. You get three people to be the ‘horse’ and they hold up the fourth person (who has on a hat or headband or something) and then these groups run around and try and take the hat/headband off of the other people. The last group with a hat/headband wins.</ref>.

	Anyway, Greta seemed to be enjoying spending time with her father in the swimming competition and she had a smile on her face throughout the entire event as she frolicked about. Even now while we’re having free time she isn’t resting and she pulled us to the center of the pool to play. But, she suddenly stops moving and lightly furrows her manly eyebrows.

	“How about it? I suck. Although I have memorized the multiplication tables. The eights always messed me up though. Eight times one is eight, right?

	C4, that’s the nickname for a large scale demolition explosive. (3)		C4, that’s the nickname for a large scale demolition explosive<ref>So, I had to change this a bit because it was a play on words. Yuuri initially says ‘happa’ instead of C4. ‘Happa’ with these kanji (発破) means explosive blast and is a nickname for dynamite. So, the original sentence went ‘Happa, that’s a nickname for dynamite used in large scale building demolition.’</ref>.

	After a brief escape, I’m immediately brought back to reality. In the meantime, the people on the grounds are steadily evacuating under the guidance of the sociable young woman, Potatey, Brocco and Celery. Conrad seems to have come up with a plan after watching the actions of the good vegetables pretending to be evil. He suddenly asks if we’re stepping down on it with all of our strength.

	“Well it seems that it is time for I, the creator of Mr. Bursting Man, to kick some ass, ah no, to settle things. Your Majesty! No, Mitsuemon! I will come right over to defuse the detonator so just wait a minute.” (4)		“Well it seems that it is time for I, the creator of Mr. Bursting Man, to kick some ass, ah no, to settle things.

	Not only had she called the wrong name out in a loud voice, she was ordering me around. But that was Anissina. This is Miss Anissina von Karbelnikoff. I’ve started to get used to her.
