I watched another episode of はじめてのおつかい - season 2 episode 2 on Netflix without subtitles. I felt so bad for 渓介くん who had to do all the work for 有希ちゃん. And then she only helped him out at the very very end after little 渓介くん had two breakdowns already!
Favorite phrase:
元気モリモリみせて
This is translated in the show as “show me how strong you are” said by Yukiko when Keisuke asks for help. When I looked up モリモリ on its own, I went down a rabbit hole of Japanese onomatopoeia (ぎおんご | 擬音 語). I had known there were a lot but didn’t know there were even names for different types. My mind was swimming… But anyway, the definition I found for モリモリ was this:
1.(eating) heartily
2. energetically, vigorously, (working) hard, enthusiastically
3. bulging (muscles), welling up (of strength, courage, etc.)
