This week, Ikko discovers the true meaning of Christm- I mean, summer vacation.Shibuya Near Family chapter 168: Ikko wants Indian food>Sign: Authentic Indian Curry>Oh, you came to give it a shot.>That's right, Galvish who's currently working part time at a food truck.>In order to be able to perfectly relax on summer vacation...>I need>authentic Indian food.
>[Ten days of summer vacation left]>Calendar: August>I've already>run out of things to do.>Going all-out from the start...>(UOOOOOHHH!)>Might have been overkill.>It's too hot outside.>I'm tired>of gaming, too.>And I've gotten enough of watching videos.>Also, it doesn't look like we'll be going anywhere at this point.>You're really amazing, Ikko-chan...>Why's that?
>For being able to relax>on summer vacation.This joke works better in Japanese, as the Japanese word for "vacation" is "yasumi" (休み, literally "a rest"), which is the noun form of "yasumu" (休む, to rest"). So for this whole chapter they're talking about resting on "a rest".>Huh?>I mean, there's not a single elementary school who actually relaxes on summer vacation, right? >That's true.>I've never seen a kid actually take it easy while on vacation.>(Whoooo!)>(Eeeeee!)>So Ikko-chan is amazing for relaxing on vacation.>Is he making fun of me?>But, then again...>That is the *true* way to spend your holidays, isn't it?
>What are you doing?>This is my most relaxed pose.>I've never seen someone relax this authentically on vacation before.>What's authentic about it?>Maybe this is how yoga was born.>Still,>This is boring.>(*Unconsciously...*)>No! Bad!>(*Slap*)>I need to properly relax!>Relaxing properly>is pretty hard.
>A holiday where you do nothing>might feel something like this.>Bag: Potato chips>Your stomach>shouldn't do anything on vacation, either.>HUUUUUH!?>I guess both juice and snacks>would place a burden on your stomach.>Okay, Kookle.>Tell us how the stomach can have a summer vacation, too.>Okay, here is what I found...>Day 1: Rice porridge, seitan and tofu>Day 2: Rice porridge and seitan>Day 3: Rice porridge>Day 4: Rice water (The clear liquid that forms on top of rice porridge)>Day 5: Boiled water >Day 6: Boiled water >Day 7: Boiled water
>This is just FASTING, isn't it!?>You sure became pretty haggard in the thirty minutes that you've been doing it.>The fact is, elementary schoolers>need constant dietary supplements!>Oh... Actually, all of my senses seem to have cleared up after fasting.>You didn't actually fast, though.>My eyes, my ears...>My senses are as sharp as they can be.>That's no good.>Your eyes and ears need their summer vacation, too.>Uh, no... Could you please just let that slide at this...>Huh!?>Cutting off my vision and hearing seems to have sharpened my senses even further.>*Pop*>My third-eye chakra has opened!>[*Mental image]
>I can see the fate of humanity,>and the true nature of the world...>The third eye needs a summer vacation, too.>Still, all this yoga and fasting and chakra stuff...>Perhaps, to be able to truly relax on summer vacation...>Banner: Beautiful, extraordinary days in India - 5-day tour>You need to go to India.>Take me there.>No way.>How do *you* relax on summer vacation, dad?>Err...>An unemployed person taking a summer vacation...>Wouldn't that be kind of like a dream within a dream?>In other words, a "vacation" on "vacation"... Like a "king among kings"...>Aw, shucks.>She's not praising you.>Incidentally, I'm also...>Relaxing on summer vacation.>...? Haven't you been standing there this whole time? Doesn't seem very relaxing to me.
>I'm "at ease", you see.>"Attention" -> "At ease""At ease" is "yasume" (休め, "Rest!"), the imperative form of the verb "yasumu" discussed earlier.>You know, "at ease"...>Doesn't seem very relaxed at all.>That's true.>We need to device>A properly relaxed "at ease" position!>Something like this?>I really think>this may be how yoga was born.>(*Phweeeee!*)>Attention!>At ease!>Shibuya Duty Diary - Temperatures keep going up, so summer vacation should actually be 50 days long these days.>Sidebar: I'm taking a vacation from thinking of something to write here...Thanks for reading. Now that's what I call an Indian summer!Shibuya Near Family will be on break next week, and since the whole magazine will be on break the week after that, the series returns three weeks from now. How thematically appropriate.

>>289798523Thanks for typesetting!I wonder if they hired Galvish because they thought her tan would make her feel more Indian.
