Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu - Episode 1: The Man-eating Classroom - Part 4
Hey there! This one is pretty short, but that's because in the path chosen (by the one person who actually commented to choose a path) another decision comes up pretty quickly. Next one will probably be pretty short too
I headed towards the school building with the first year classrooms in order to catch up with Haruhi, who I immediately spotted wandering aimlessly around the halls.
Kyon: Oi Haruhi, hold up, oi!
Haruhi: What!? Why are you all by yourself? Where’s Mikuru-chan, Yuki and Koizumi-kun?
Kyon: They went back to speak with the Computer Club. They had a few more points to go over.
Haruhi: Hmm. Well, I guess splitting into two groups isn’t a bad plan.
Kyon: By the way, where the heck do you think you’re going!?
Haruhi: To the scene where the “Man-Eating Classroom” incident was encountered of course. Haven’t you heard the phrase “search every nook and cranny”?
Naturally, it means in order to find something you have to investigate every possible angle.
Kyon: This isn’t a cop show, besides, where exactly is your scene meant to be?
Haruhi: It’s obviously... obviously...
Haruhi: obviously we’re looking for it!
Kyon: ... So you haven’t found a thing? You’re just chasing a dead end here. No matter where you go, you’re not going to find an answer on this.
Haruhi: So, what do you suggest, Kyon?
Kyon: No idea.
Haruhi: See, after all that big talk you don’t have any ideas either.
Kyon: However unlike you, I actually weigh my options and try and think of a plan before running off.
Haruhi: That’s just a waste of time. It’s more efficient if you think about things while running around.
Right... That’s the kind of person she is.
Haruhi: Geez! If you understand now Kyon, hurry up and come along!
And with that Haruhi grabbed my hand as she dragged my exhausted self along at a brisk pace.
With the incredible force she carried, Haruhi simply pulled me along.
Kyon: B-but, where are we going!?
Haruhi: I told you! We’ll figure it out while on the move!
Haruhi: Geez, we didn’t find anything! Where is this “Man-Eating Classroom”!?
Kyon: Did you really expect it’d be that easy to find?
Haruhi: If that guy from the Computer Club saw it, it’s only natural I’d be able to find it too.
Honestly, I’d be suspicious of even a hair of evidence proving the existence of a “Man-Eating Classroom”.
It’s indeed as Koizumi said...
If Haruhi finds belief in mysterious rumours, they come closer to being reality.
It’s entirely possible that things could be spreading, other than just that abnormal space.
I’d like to avoid that situation though.
I’d like to avoid it, but... How exactly should I go about stopping Haruhi?
Translator's notes:
• The idiom translated as “search every nook and cranny” was originally more along the lines of “search the crime scene 100 times”. Given Kyon's comment about cop dramas immediately after I pondered maybe going with something like “the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime” or perhaps even a deliberately mangled version like “the crime always returns to the scene”, but in the end I thought going with something a bit closer to the original meaning, even if it loses a bit of the police procedural feel.
... And yes, another choice! If any of you other than my girlfriend are reading, you're allowed to vote on these things too! And so, until the next update!
