to Yukkuri Fanfic Translations
Haven't been around for a while, and I've got some inspiration recently, so let's see if this rolls out.
Yukkuri. I personally never really liked them. They were obnoxious, loud, hungry, and most of all, stupid.
As a man with a job requiring high intellect, I had grown to despise mostly anything with an intellect lower than average, be it an animal, or human babies.
When the Yukkuri first flooded our town a few years ago, I was rather confused about them and their strange behaviours. Later on though, I learned to just smash any of those manjuus that dared badmouth me.
Today though, things were a bit different.
There, right in front of me, lay a yukkuri I had never seen before. Or more like half a yukkuri.
It was a medium sized green haired one, somewhat smaller than a soccerball. It seemed like it used to have two long horns protruding out of its head, although one of them was broken at the stem.
What was surprising though, was what it was saying.
"Yu... Mishter... sabe little onez... Help easy..."
I was astonished by its speech. Normally a yukkuri would be cursing their asses out at me for not helping them out. This one however, had just dropped a ping-pong ball sized baby in front of me, and was telling me to save it, instead of herself.
"I..."
Before I could answer her, the big one closed its eyes, leaking some sort of jerky onto the sidewalk. The little one hopped next to her, softly nudging the dead body.
"Mwommy? Yu?"
The little one looked rather different from the big one, having silver hair with some blue highlights, and a weird looking hat that somehow reminded me of bento lunchboxes.
"Mwommy? Wake up eajy! Mwommy?! Yupii!"
The ko kept nudging the corpse, calling out for her dead mother in despair. I stared at her, perplexed. Not only did the mother just tell me to save her child instead of her, the child too, was trying to wake her dead mother up instead of calling her a shitty parent that couldn't protect her.
"Yupiii!"
The little one started crying, dropping its little sugary tears.
I nudged her with my finger.
"Yu?!"
"Ehm. Let's take this easy?"
I had no idea on how to deal with this, so I decided to say the thing these manjuus always seemed to say. Or whatever I remembered them to say. I never paid enough attention to these little balls.
The little ball sniffled at me, backing up to her mother's body.
"Uhh... Make yourself easy?"
I remembered something that ended with easy, but my brain went blank in front of that. Hence, I only managed to make the little ko huddle up further.
"Ehh... Aw, screw it. You just take it easy or something."
"T-take ich e-eajy?"
The little yu stamered back at me, to my surprise.
"Oh right. Take it easy. Yeah. Take it easy."
I kneeled down in front of the little piece of confectionary, casting a large shadow over it.
"What's your name, little one?"
"K-keine is Keine. Iz mishder human eajy?"
"Uh... yeah I guess?"
I had no idea what she meant by being easy, but it certainly didn't sound like she was asking if I was easy to seduce.
"So... that your mommy?"
I pointed at the body. The little yu turned around, sniffling at the body that lay behind her.
"Mwommy iz mwommy. Keine doesn't know where daddy iz... Uneajy mishder humans took daddy!"
I had no idea why the hell someone would take little balls of dirty sweets.
"So... you're an orphan now?"
"Keine... is orphan..."
Probably for both the first time and the last time, I felt sorry for a living paste ball.
I walked over to a vending machine nearby and bought a can of orange soda. I heard somewhere that it was supposed to be good for these little balls, and I might's well give the little one something to drink before I let it off somewhere.
"Here, drink this."
Unsure on how to work it out, I poured a bit of soda inside a little hole in the pavement. The ko hurriedly hopped over to the puddle, licking it with delight.
"Eaj- Yupii? Yupii?!?"
To my astonishment, the little yu collapsed onto the sidewalk, twitching.
"Holy shit!"
I grabbed the little ball and spun my head around, seeing a yukkuri pet store across the street. I ran through the traffic, narrowly missing a car, but unfortunately not the driver's swearing.
"HELP!"
I slammed the door open, dashing towards the woman in a white coat. I presented the twitching yukkuri to her.
She picked up the little ko from my hand, and lay her on some sort of operation table. I watched her pull out a syringe full of yellow liquid not unlike piss, and poke it right into the yu, injecting every single drop. She tapped the syringe as the little yu stopped jerking around.
"D-d-did you just-"
"No, don't worry, I didn't kill your pet. I just gave her a tiny bit of lemonade to calm her down."
"Oh. Thank go- Wait. That's not my pet. I don't have a pet."
The vet stared at me as if I was some crazy sadist who enjoyed torturing manjuus.
"Then what kind of relationship do you two have?"
"I just met her on the street five minutes ago! I don't even know her name! Candy Cane or something."
She gave me another stare, this time a full on death glare.
"You met this rare of a yukkuri on the street, and you poison her? And her name is Keine, not Candy Cane."
"Whatever, I don't know, I don't care. You want her? You take her. I'm leaving."
"Hold it! Who pays the medical bills then?"
I sighed, and shoved my hand in my pockets. And then I realised I just spent the last of my money on the orange soda.
"Darn."
"No way. No bill, no leaving. If you leave, I'mma call the cops on you."
"Look, I'll give you my number, let me just go hope and pick up my walle-"
"No bill, no leaving."
"Ach, what do you want me to do then? I don't have any money on me!"
"I want you to take responsibility."
"The hell you mean by th-"
She pointed at the sleeping yukkuri.
"Oh hell no I ain't taking that."
She pulled out her phone and started dialing.
"Alright alright! I'll take it! Just leave me alone!"
"Good choice."
The woman packed the yukkuri into a box, shoving in extra stuff like shampoo.
"You don't need to put in anything, I can just use my shampoo-"
"Ah-ah, you can't use human shampoo on Yukkuri."
She said as she handed me the box. I sighed, and walked outside the shop, box in hand.
"Dear lord, what am I doing..."
Hey! I think I did a half-bad job with this one! What'd you guys think?

Bootiful... Just bootiful. Will Keine eventually grow up? Will she be more like a pet while grown up or be more... How do I explain it... Housewife-ish? I've seen stories where the protagonist sometimes doesn't properly take care of himself and the Keine scolds him. Weird I know. But this is a great start. If not... Short but it's a start. I've hit the story hole in one of my stories and lost inspiration. So lets hope you stay in your "story" prime longer.

A bit out of character for the shopkeeper. They'd do everything in their power to keep a rare yukkuri like a Keine, especially if the person who dropped it off clearly didn't want the thing.
