A quick translation to get this series started.


****************


This place is a small farming village at the foot of a mountain.

Besides the small road in disrepair that is sheltered by the forest,
there are farm plots irrigated by the little stream. Stretching as
far as the eye can see, there is only the greenery of the forest and
the greenery of the unripe wheat fields.

Similarly, there is a small shack that is sorely lacking in repairs
next to this small dirt road. Even though you can call it a shack,
there is no longer flooring covering the floor, the wooden walls and
the steel roofing have become antiquated with age, and there is only a
small tool box without covers.

Looking at the shack, the reaping hook and the plow are filled with
rust. The tools in the box and the concrete block within have
accumulated a large amount of dust as well. The dried straw bundle
were placed there for some purpose, and the linen bag filled with
wheat husks have been completely dried out for some time. It's
impossible to know how many years ago these things were placed in this
shack and then forgotten.

"Ta....... sy"
"Da.......jy..."

And over here, we find a family of yukkuris that has been living here
since who knows when...

"YU~NNN. Little one is getting born easy!!"
"This is Reimu and Marisa's very easy little one~!"
"Marisha will become a big shisder shoon!"
"Reimu looksh forward to it too~"

In that corner of the shack where nobody can spy in on what they're
doing, the yukkuri family is taking it easy inside a sideways wooden
box that is propped up against the wall opposite of the entrance.

The family is made up of a basketball sized father Marisa, the pillar
of the family. The mother Reimu who is currently giving birth. The
five cute little baby yukkuris currently dangling down from Reimu's
stalk. The two parents sprinkled the two soft-ball sized koyukkuris
with loving and expectant looks.

The skin's elasticity is great, they're clean, and it's clear to see
that they're living in a very good environment.

Of course it is.

Because this shack is right next to the forest and is also right next
to where the humans live, all the other wild yukkuris won't do foolish
things like coming close to this place. As a result, all the bugs,
flowers, tree nuts and other foodstuffs are under the monopoly of
these yukkuris. Plus there's a small stream only a few meters away
from the small dirt road, whose bountiful water supplies serves as a
place to bath and for drinking. And of course, the very very easy
place which keeps out the worst of the wind and rain, and it's bigger
than anything yukkuris can ever find.

"If the little ones are born in such an easy place like this, they
would be able to take it very easy too!"
"Yuhehehe! Of course they could, this is the easy place that Marisa
found!"
""Daddy~! Eajy!!""

Marisa's eyes began to swell up with tears upon looking at her
koyukkuris. With the reflection in her eyes, a thinly veiled emotion
that was the culmination of the sorrow and hardships before finding
this place. The sadness of the departed makes the happiness she
worked for seemed all the more concentrated.

Looking back, there were seven sisters in this ko-Reimu and ko-
Marisa's generation. But because of the lack of a strong and spacious
nest in the previous clan's territory, strong winds and heavy rain
broke down their nest in the hollow trunk and took away their sisters'
lives in the ensuing flood.

A tragedy that Marisa swore shall never be repeated. Marisa, filled
with determination, left the clan's territory in order to look for a
place where they can take it easy.

A few days later after the flooding, Marisa found this shack. When
she initially found the shack, Marisa had a strong distrust of this
place, her body shaking with emotion.

"Such an easy place.... mister humans will surely find Marisa..."

Because she has experienced the yukkuri-hunt in the mountains, she
completely understands the danger of humans. This is near the human's
territory. If this one is also, then...

Even though she thought that, she didn't give up on this place. So
for over two weeks, she continued to visit this place in the middle of
her hunt, continuing to observe this little shack. And then after all
this observation, her conclusion is that this shack is completely
devoid of humans.

"Yu~!! Mister humans don't live here! So mister humans won't find us
at all! It's an rare find!"

Well that's wild yukkuris for you. She never noticed that this shack
itself was made by human hands.

Can't say I know what these pictures are supposed to portray. My wild
guess is that somebody is in a lot of pain, and it's not the owner of
the shed.

Back to the present.

In the middle of the storage, the yukkuris have unraveled the straw
bundle and have spread it across the box to act as a carpet. In the
middle of the carpet is a bird-nest like structure made with the light
fluffy dried grass and straw bundled together. The nest is to act as
a cushion for the soon-to-be-born baby yukkuris, as well as a bed
where the baby yukkuris can sleep. This is all for the baby yukkuris
before they can become little ones that can successfully jump around
in this easy home.

"Can liddle shishters dage id eajy?"
"Yufufu, it's ok little one. Big sis take it easy too."
"Yu! Reimu will work hard!"

The little ones on the stalk started shaking.

The long awaited moment has finally come, the moment that these new
lives will be born into this perfect environment meticulously set up
for them.
"Yu! Marisa! Little ones are getting born!!"
"Yu! Get born easy~! Easy~!"

Shake... shake..... plop!

"D...D...Dage id eajy!!"
"Take it easy~! Take it easyyyyy!!"
"Eajy! Dage id eaaajjjjyyyy!!!"
"Yu-yaaaay!! Reimu ish a big shishter now!!"
"Eajy! Eajy!"
"Yu~nn, what a easy little one!"
"Big shish! Wub-wub! Happinessh~!!"
"Dage it eajy! Yunn, what a cude cude little shish!"

In the house that is being filled with the silliness and the love of
the family, the little ones that are shining with brilliance never
thought about how the world surrounding them is filled with malice.
This happiness seemed to be a hint of what the future of their family
could hold.

Their smiles became ever brighter.

"Mwommie! Reimu ish hungwy!"
"Yu! Wait just a second easy!"

Pop. Father Marisa cut off the stalk that bore the koyukkuris, chewed
it up between his teeth, and then spit out the ground up stalk into
the middle of the five koyukkuris.

"Munch~ Munch~ Happinessh!!~!!" x 5.
"Yu-yaaay~!! Little shishters are really taking id eajy!"
"Munch~ Munch~ ... Yunnn... Marisha wantsh to munch-munch more~!"
"Yuyu? Yufufu! Little one sure is hungry!"

Even though their plump figures are already resembling little
eggplants, these little ones are still not satisfied. These energetic
little ones made Marisa smile.

"Yu! Big shish will give mister caterpillar to little shish!"
"Marisa will give misder flower!"
"Yu-yay~! Munch~ Munch~ H..Happiness~!!!"
"Led Weimu try id too~"

These little koyukkuris didn't think twice about giving away their
favorite foods, mister flower and mister caterpillar to their hungry
little sisters. Nibbling the food into a bite-sized chunk suitable
for their little sisters, feeding them mouth-to-mouth since their
little sisters had to struggle to crawl out of bed to eat it... This
sight warmed their parents from the bottom of their bean-paste
hearts.

"The little ones sure are taking it easy."
"With this beautiful family, Marisa is the happiest yukkuri in the
world."
"Yufufu, don't cry. Don't forget to take care of the little ones."

And so these little ones that were born just a little while ago
contentedly filled up their stomachs, got licked-licked to clean the
food pieces from around their mouth, and fully received their parents
and sister's love with rub-rubs. Their very first sleep was with a
smile on their face in the soft bed, completely content, completely
lacking any sort of insecurities about the world.

The koyukkuris soon gathered around the straw next to their little
sister's nest, and began to nod off while looking at their little
sister's sleeping faces. The safe and sound house, the very easy
futon, and a great and plentiful source of food that they don't need
to fight over.

It is here that everything father Marisa longed for has come true.
The truly ideal easy place really existed. And this easy place, the
empty wooden box surrounded by warmth, this little yukkuri family's
dreams of tomorrows are filled with bright rays of hope.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day after two baby Marisa and three baby Reimu made an addendum to
this yukkuri family.

Since morning, father Marisa has been hunting in the forest behind the
shack for the sake of their new family. On the other hand, mother
Reimu, and the koyukkuri sisters took some time to sunbathe on the
grass while the little baby yukkuris were taking their afternoon
nap.

"Mwommie. Reimu wantsh to led little shisters shunbathe too~ "
"Yu~nn. Alright, but mister sun is still dangerous to the little ones
now, so wait a little bit longer~"
"Undershtood eajy~"

A family that had nothing to do before the sun lowered to a
comfortable height and temperature in the afternoon, a family truly
taking it easy. However, suddenly a noise that couldn't take it easy
at all rang out.

Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!! Bang!!!!

"YUGII!??~!!"
"YUAAAAAAAAAA!!!! What is thaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?"

Mother Reimu was snapped out of her sleepy stupor and looked in the
direction of the sound. The view was met with a terrifying sight...

Snap! Snap!

Over there, there is a single mister human.

Mister human, not even waiting for Reimu and her little koyukkuris to
catch her breath, continued working on his task.

That's right, his task of dismantling Reimu and her family's very easy
house.


****************************


"Yufufu, Marisa brought back a lot today too. Little ones must be
looking forward to this meal."

Father Marisa kept on going back and forth in the forest since early
morning, picking up flowers, nuts, soft-soft mister bugs and gathering
them into her hat. After collecting this copious amount of food,
Marisa started to head back to the house.

The amount that's is more than enough for the day, and all this has
been gathered before noon as well. By no means was this a leisurely
walk in the forest. Because father Marisa wanted to hurry home
earlier to spend some time with the little ones, this was the result
of her sheer determination and her razor sharp focus on the hunt.

But when Marisa jumped out of the forest, a horrible image was playing
before her.

"W...W....W....WHAT IS REIMU DOINNNNNGGGGG!!! REIMMMMUUUU!!!"
"Stop scaring Reimu's little ones!!!!"

Mother Reimu, ramming into mister human's foot.

"What a terrible thing you're doing to Reimu's home!!! PUFFFF!!!"

A serious puff-puff towards mister human. Reimu, ko-Reimu and ko-
Marisa.
The terrifying image of Marisa's beloved family, challenging mister
human.

"EVERYONE SDOBBBB IDDDDD!!!!"

The food in father Marisa's hat spilt out as she dashed with all her
speed to wedge herself in between mister human and the rest of her
family. In that mean time, mister human never stopped his work of
ripping the steel foil off the top of the shack's roof. Seeing his
actions and hearing Reimu's words, father Marisa could pretty clearly
grasp what is going on in this situation.

"Marisaaaaaa!! Mister human.... the house.... the houseeeeee!!!!"
"Daddy shdop mister easy too!! PUFFF!!!"

But Marisa completely ignored her family's ideas, and took the action
that she thought would be the most benign towards mister human.

"Mister human!!! Marisa is sorryyyyyyy!!!"
"YU YU!!!! Daddy....??"

If you want the human equivalent comparison, Marisa would be kneeling
on the floor with her head on the floor, begging for mercy from mister
human. How would this look to her family?

But compared to her own pride, her family is something completely
incomparable, and it is something she needs to protect no matter
what.

"Mister human!! Please forgive Reimu for doing something completely
not easy!!! Please spare Marisa's family and Marisa's house!!!"
"Marisa..."
""Daddy...""

Whatever Reimu did to mister human, why mister human decided to
destroy the house, Marisa can think about all of that stuff later.
The only truth is:

Mister human is strong. There's no way she can fight mister.

So even if the conditions of exchange would be harsh, she would
willingly give everything she possibly could. So she asked for
forgiveness with all her might under the assumption that she and her
family did something wrong to mister.
The very easy family, the family that she finally had after all that
dreaming, she has to protect that family no matter what. Anything
else is...

Soon, maybe this sense has passed to Reimu and the little koyukkuris
as well, and they too fell prone the same way Marisa did, and knelt to
the floor. Forgetting the sudden rage that overtook them, they tried
to think about this in a calm and collected manner. There is no need
to feel shameful for this action.

Keeping their faces on the ground, the family could hear mister
human's approaching footsteps. What would happen if they weren't
forgiven, couldn't take it easy anymore... father Marisa couldn't stop
shaking while thinking about these thoughts. Mister human's footstep
sounds stopped before Marisa, and she could hear him bending down.
Father Marisa hoped that mister human would think they are wonderful
yukkuris because of what they said before...

But mister didn't say anything like he was suppose to. Marisa, still
bending down facing the ground, couldn't see what was going on.

"?"

Gradually, her uneasiness increased again. When she couldn't stand
the suspense, she meekly peeked up her face.

"Yu?"

And then, what flashed before her eyes was the figure of mister human
hurling a concrete block towards her.

Suspense! Though, quite honestly, this is unjustified. Yukkuri's
willing to negotiate something are extremely rare and, as such, they
should have been given a chance.

hoo... this is interesting
i almost feel pity for the father marisa~~~
i suppose it really is rare that there's a yukkuri that would realize
it's own weakness and succumb completely to mister human even before
mister human teach them anything about that lol

I tend to agree, but I guess the guy saw them as pests and treated
them as such. That and he's probably pissed off at having to take
apart the shed after traveling out into the middle of nowhere.

Indeed, it is a bit disappointing. It is very rare that a Yukkuri will
apologise (without lots of torture) for its actions, and it means this
bunch are more civil than normal types, who would demand you get lost
and give them food. Mister should have made them work on his farm in
return for shelter, methinks.

The author stated there was a toolbox with a concrete block in it,
maybe it's the same one? Or maybe its just... laying around. :P

From the sound of these "concrete blocks", I think they're more
accurately translated as "bricks". The concrete blocks I am familiar
with are usually super heavy and big, like this one.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/03/Concrete-block,japan.JPG

Somehow I doubt something like that would just be sitting in a farm
shed...

Anyway I just finished the translation. I will proofread it tomorrow
and post it up since it's rather late now.

smack.

"YuPUUU...!?!?"

....?

"M..M...MARISSAAAAA!!!"
"Daddddieee!!! Dage id eajjjyyy!!!"
"....YU!?!? .... Bo..?"

Responding to the weird sound, what met Reimu and the little yukkuris'
eyes is father Marisa's face being smashed in with a concrete block
from the top, leaving a U-shaped mark behind.

"DADDDIIEEEE!!! Lick-lick!!!"
"Dage id eajjjy!!! Reimu will rub-rub!!!!"

Father Marisa is very healthy, so her filling isn't leaking out even
if the skin broke a little. However, her eyeball half flew out from
the impact, and where the concrete block sunk in, it unluckily tore
Marisa's core filling into two halves.

She won't live. It's unfortunate, but this is a fatal wound. Even
though she retains her consciousness, she will never talk again. The
result is a body that will never move again, a real manju.

"There are no wounds! Daddy is really strong so daddy will get better
really soon!!"

Mother Reimu, filled with confidence and trust for Marisa, said this
to calm down the koyukkuris. On the other hand, mister human who gave
Marisa this death blow continued to tear down the house as if nothing
happened, while Reimu and the koyukkuris defended Marisa with all
their might.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

"YUBIIIIIIIIII!!! DAGE ID EAJJJYYYYYY!!"
"DADDDIEE!! MWOMMIEEEE!!! Id's scharryyyyyy!!!"
"BIG SHISHHHHHHH!!! SABE DEIBUUUUUU!!!"

When all the walls in the shed were finally tore down, what mister
found was the wooden box tucked away in the corner of the shack. The
baby yukkuri's bedroom was finally exposed to the sun's rays.

"Little ones!!!! Runnnnnnnn!!!"
"Don't be mean to Reimu's little shisters!!!! PUFFFF!!"

But, these baby yukkuris can't run.

"Yuuuunnn, led Marisha dage id eajyyyy!!!"
"Eajyyyy!! Eajjjjyyy!!"

There's no way they could possibly escape. It hasn't even been a full
day since they were born. With such weak legs, there's no way they
could possibly bounce-bounce satisfactorily. They have difficulty
even getting out of bed. Plus, having never heard such destructive
noises breaking something before, they are frightened beyond belief.
Besides squeezing their little bodies together while shaking in fear,
there's nothing else they can possibly do.

Poke.

"Yuuuuuuuuu.... Yu?"
"?.... Rub-rub.... happiness~...."

But contrary to what the mother thought would happen, mister human
gently picked up the bed and rubbed the koyukkuri's cheeks with his
finger.

"?.... O...Of course!! Because little ones can really take it
easyyy!!"
"That'sh righd!! Marisa's liddle shishters are very eajy yukkuris!!"

That's Right.
Even this cruel mister who came and did horrible things to this easy
family for no reason, even this mister couldn't possibly have a reason
to be cruel to these little ones. Having never even known the darker
side of life, never having bothered anybody, there's no possible
reason to be cruel to such easy little ones.

"Yu!! Eajy!"
"Yunnn, Weimu wantsh to wub-wub too~~"

Mister human is also taking it easy.
These cute cute little ones must be letting this mister-that-couldn't
take-it-easy take it easy now.

"Little ones... little ones are really taking it easy..."

And the, mister human walked out while holding the container that was
holding the little ones. A few steps away, there's a small ditch
that's several centimeters deep, and mister put the bed inside.

And then he gently covered it up with dirt.

Pat.

"YUBIII!?? Sdop pat pat---!!"

Pat pat.

"......BI....!??!....!??"

"W...WHAT IS MISDER DOING TO LIDDLE ONEEEEEEEESSS!!?!?!?"
"YUNNNN!!! Weimu will sabe little shishterss!!!"

Screaming for mister to stop, Reimu ran forward like mad. Seemingly
as if he wasn't listening, mister gently pat the little mound that
buried the baby yukkuris to solidify it, and stacked three concrete
blocks on top of the little mound.

"Almosht saved little shisters easy!!! Yuuuu-hey!!! Yuuuuu-heeyyy!!"
"Marisha will work hard too!!! YUUUUUNN!! YUUUUNN!!!"

Even though the blocks aren't exactly that heavy, but these three
blocks are more than a match for these two little yukkuris that are
barely the size of a softball. But if something the size of mother
Reimu rammed into them with the acceptance of getting wounded in the
process, one body slam should be more than enough to remove these
blocks.

That's if mister human wasn't holding that mother Reimu by the head
right now, of course.

"Stop it! Let Reimu go!! Reimu has to help the little ones!!"

But Reimu's plead fell on deaf ears. Holding her head tightly, he
placed her next to father Marisa and held her face up the same way.

"LIDDLE ONESSSS!!! THE LIDDLE ONESSSSS!!!"

Mister took the nail puller he was using and lightly swung it across
Reimu's face with his right hand.

"LET REIMU GOOO!!! REIMU'S LIDDLbleru....biiii......"

That right handed swing used Reimu's face as a target, and tore a
straight line across Reimu's face.

Reimu's face from the left eyelid to the right cheek was savagely
ripped apart, the skin and filling flew out all around Reimu.
Reimu's right eye remained on the nail puller from where it entered
her face initially and mister human gently pulled it off the nail
puller, and it splattered on the floor with the original shape all but
gone.

"...Po.......yu....."

This deep wound has also injured the central core filling much like
father Marisa's. The consciousness remained, but Reimu will never
talk again. She also can't move her body ever again.

On the other side, while mister human was busy dealing with Reimu, the
koyukkuris that didn't notice what was happening to their mother were
pushing the concrete blocks with all their might. When mister human
returned, they just about finished removing all three blocks.

"Yu! Yu!! Id's sho heavy!! Reimu will move it all!!"
"Reimu!!! Marisha!! Answerrrrr Marishaaa!!"

And so wriggling like little bugs, the ground seemed to squirm and
move. In the next moment, the baby yukkuri's tongues poked through
the dirt for the first time with a painful sounding gasp. But from
the five cute weak breathing sounds, it sounds like they are
alright.

"...jy..."
"...sabe.....mie..."
"Yu!! Every-yu ish shtill ok!!! Yunnn~ Id feelsh like flying~!!"
"Marisa sabed little shish eajy~!!! Yuunnn~ Id feelsh like flying~!!"

And then mister human came back. He picked up ko-Reimu with his right
hand, and ko-Marisa with his left hand and held them up high.

"Yunnn~ Yu....!! Now'sh not the time for thish!!!"
"Mister human, led go eajy!!"

But mister human, while holding these two koyukkuris, left the
shack.
"Led go eajy!!! Marisa will puff puff!!! PUFFFF!!"
"If mister doesh't listen then mwommie and daddie will make mister
listen!! Mwommie and daddie are really shcary when mad!!!"

Those parents, wracked with pain from their fatal wounds, anxiously
stared at the direction of the little koyukkuris. Awash with despair
from the empty wishes that the koyukkuris left behind, only their
tears falling behind mister human's back can hint at their sorrow.

The strong and gentle big sister Reimu, the energetic and caring sixth
little sister Marisa. The only two left out of the nine yukkuri
litter from their original batch of kids. The very easy children, if
mister human looked into their beautiful eyes, surely mister human
won't do anything cruel to them.

As if hearing the wishes to the koyukkuris, or maybe he understood the
two parent yukkuri's wishes, mister human stopped walking, bent down
and slowly lowered his hands.

"Mister's is finally letting ush go eajy!"
"Thank you mishter for listening to our wishes!!"

But, the destination of these hands was not solid ground.

Splash.

It's the little stream that the family always used to bathe.

splash splash splash.

When mister returned momentarily after washing his hands and face in
the stream, his hands did not have the two koyukkuris. Also, nowhere
could you hear their energetic bright voices.

While father Marisa and mother Reimu's consciousness were fading in
and out of confusion, somehow they understood that they will never see
their cute little ko-Marisa and ko-Reimu again.

"Gyu....bi....gyu...."
"Jyuuu....giii....gyuuuuu...."

Letting out static screeches and losing focus in their eyes, their
tears continued to flow.

"Big shis-------"

plop.

".....sabe----"

plop.

".....!!! ......!!"

And then mister human, after covering more dirt over where the baby
yukkuris were sticking out their tongues, beautifully restacked the
concrete blocks on top...

Crack!! Crack!! Crack!!!

Completely covering the two parent yukkuri's screeches with violent
noises, mister continued to take apart this shack that was this
family's easy place.


-------------------------------------------------


There used to be a little shack next to the small road in disrepair,
that was lined by the forest on one side.
There used to be a family of yukkuris that had bright dreams of the
future, this used to be an extremely easy place.
But now besides a big dirt square that has no grass on it and a
mysteriously neatly piled stack of concrete blocks, there's nothing
left in that spot...

Thanks for the translation!

But damn, this story just doesn't feel as good/justified as the other
ones. At least other times they deserve it for breaking into homes and
making demands of humans. The shack here was long abandoned, and
Marisa didn't know it was built by humans. And when she did, she
apologised and bowed down to mister. These Yukkuris could have been
trained and bred to make helpful and obedient worker Yukkuri. Still, a
wonderful translation! Maybe now I'll get back to the original work
I've been going at for a while... heh.

Although lol, just realised the way to make a "Yukkuri Manju God" is
to lock them up in a box without food for a long, long time.

I felt the same way yesterday before I squashed 5 little hopping
grasshopper things in my basement.

Then I thought about the setting of the story, and wondered if mister
understood what the yukkuris are saying at all. In some stories,
yukkuris and humans cannot communicate with each other at all, all the
humans would hear is "easy easy take it easy" and similar. In most
standard senses, these yukkuris are indeed wonderful examples of what
a good yukkuri should be (father Marisa in particular). But mister
here just treated them as pests, and handled them as such. I don't
honestly think he was a yukkuri hater, he is just there to do his job
and then get home, and these guys were just in his way. Just like an
exterminator of rodents wouldn't bat an eye at a particularly cute rat
or a particularly intelligent seeming rat, the same seems to be the
case for this guy. A shame, because I'm sure they would've made good
workers.

An interesting take on it. One of the main points in Yukkuri fandom,
however is that yukkuri /can/ actually speak and be understood and
it's probably one of the most universally accepted features. It's much
more likely that mister was not in a particularly good mood, having to
venture out and take down the shack for whatever his reasons were-
most likely a job. Pretty physical work, I'm sure! The last thing
you'd want is another distraction, especially when you've probably
come across it before (and it's high likely that any other Yukkuri
mister came across in another job would have attacked him). So, I
guess it's not all that surprising. I can't help but keep on thinking
about the wasted breeding potential of those Yukkuris, though.

It's a good possibility though, the mister in the story doesn't even
looks like it even know or even care what the yukkuri even saying and
he doesn't even say a word too
it could be because he's deaf or just yukkuri have different language
than us so all we hear is pretty much like dog's barking
Or even better, the mister is cool enough to completely ignore all of
the yukkuri's voice deliberately :D

Meh, with all the artist naking pics about this fanfic I was expecting
something more, but now it's just a cliche: the author present a very
easy family so we are sympathetic to them and then an anon kills them
in cruel fashion without any particular reason.

Because I do think the anon is yukkuri hater, even without taking
into consideretion if he can understand them. Either if you consider
them a vermin or if you just are tired from the work and they are a
bother the rigth thing to do is just getting rid of them quickly in an
easy (for you) way. Tell them to go away (and wait for them to take
their things if you feel like being nice), send them away yourself
flying in the sky with a good kick or pitch or crush them if you don't
care about getting dirty. But this anon buries their babies, puts
blocks to drive to despair their sisters trying to save them and holds
the mother so she can watch her children suffer. He even bother doing
rub-rub to the babies so they feel good before burying them, more like
a torturing anon than someone who get bothered doing a hard work. When
you found a vermin (let's say grasshoppers in your basement, for
example), you just crush/spray them or you capture them for ripping
apart their limbs/wings (and keep in mind that yukkuris whether vermin
or manjuus, they still do have human-like faces and human-like
reactions)?.

Anyway, thanks Poweryoga for the translation, you sure are doing a
great work to the yukkuri community!
