Genki Chapter One Short Stories

They’re so nice! I’m at an irritating stage in my Japanese journey right now where I’m tired of reading manufactured stories from textbooks but manga/children’s novels are still pretty tough, so graded readers have been a great help for me to get in some extensive reading.

@Aeioryu さん、and @Xarde さん, since you were the ones who asked for this :laughing:

Oh wao

Starting from where we left off

Aさんは、山下先生のペンをゴミ箱へ投げ捨てました。

A-san threw Mr. Yamashita’s pen into the rubbish bin

山下先生は喘ぎました。

Mr. Yamashita gasped

山下先生: A-…Aさんは。。。なぜ!!??

A-… A-san just… why???

Aさんは静かにほくそ笑んで教室から走り出ました。

A-san quietly chuckled to himself and ran out of the classroom.

山下先生: だれー誰か!誰かAさんを捕えてよ!

Some… someone! Someone catch A-san!

山下先生は必死にゴミ箱を探している間に周りの生徒が動きませんでした。

While Mr. Yamashita frantically searched the rubbish bin, the students around him did not move.

山下先生は、とうとう青いペンをゴミ箱から引き出しました。

Mr. Yamashita finally pulled out a blue pen from the rubbish bin.

山下先生は笑い出しました。

Mr. Yamashita suddenly started to laugh

山下先生:は。。。はっはっは。。。見つけた!!! >:D

Ha…hahaha… I got it!

B: あの。。。山下先生?そのペンは青いですね。山下先生のペンは。。。黒かったではありませんか?

Um… Mr. Yamashita? That pen is blue. Wasn’t your pen… black?

まことに山下先生のペンは黒かった。Aさんは山下先生のペンがまだ持っています。Aさんはフェイクのペンをゴミ箱で投げ捨てました。

Indeed, Mr. Yamashita’s pen was black. A-san still had his pen. He had thrown a fake pen into the rubbish bin.

山下先生は膝をつきました。

Mr. Yamashita fell to his knee’\s.

まさか。。。ジョンさんもAさんはタッグを組んだものか!?

It can’t be… There’s no way John and A-san definitely didn’t work together!?

B: どうして山下先生のペンを盗んだかな。

I wonder why they stole your pen.

周りの生徒がきょろきょろ見回し始めました。

The surrounding students started to look around.

山下先生: みんな、聞けよ!俺のペンを見つけることが必要!急げ!

Listen everyone! We must find my pen. Let’s go!

Bさんはまごまごに頷きました。

B-san nodded his head, confused.

「そのペンは大切だが、なぜ?」とBさんは言いました。

Why is that pen important? B-san said.

山下先生は厳粛の顔でBさんの方へ向けました。

Mr. Yamashita turned towards B-san with a grave look on his face

Lmao I have no idea where this is going so don’t expect too much :laughing:
Anyway there we go \o/
Apologies for errors.
These are kinda fun to make :sweat_smile:Maybe I’ll make a thread with these stories after they’ve been checked by natives~ (If I keep adding them here I’ll continue to derail the thread :woozy_face: )

This is getting intense. I cannot believe the cheek of Aさん to plant a decoy although quite smart. Overall I’m finding the 山下先生 Chronicles quite riveting and am finding it difficult to put down. The scripture is beautifully crafted, although I’m unsure if the usage of なぜ is for poetic effect or an oversight on the talented writer’s behalf. I’ve heard rumors of the first of the series getting a manga and anime adaption and am waiting excitedly for any new news on the matter. I hope the writer continues to do this good work and I look forward to buying the limited edition GOLD 山下先生 Chronicles Set releasing in a month or so. Overall a good read and worth every penny.

9.5/10
