Victor's Van Gogh Event Translations
Oh my, why do so many of Victor's lines sound so stiff in my translations? π I'm sorry—I don't think I've done him justice this time.. Please bear with me!
Intro
Kasa: Yes, productivity developed during this period, which led to changes in art style...
Victor: What are you looking at?
Kasa: I'm going abroad soon to see art collections, so I want to cram in some art knowledge.
Victor walked over to me, took the art materials from my hand, flipped through them, and glanced at them casually.
Victor: Is your "cramming" just about staying home and casually reading books like "My First History of Art" or "An Introduction to Art Appreciation"?
Kasa: Hmph, don't look down on the materials I bought. I'm taking it step by step, and I even bought some advanced academic materials!
Kasa: Furthermore, I intend to combine theory with practice and become a true great artist!
Victor: How do you combine it?
I smiled smugly and grabbed his sleeve.
Kasa: Our company recently took on the installation work for an art museum, which I originally assigned to other departments.
Kasa: But after thinking about it carefully, I realized this was a golden opportunity, so—
I drawled out the last syllable, secretly observing Victor's expression.
Victor raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly already aware of my pretentious act.
Victor: Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me.
Kasa: Hehe, setting up the exhibition by myself is so tiring! Could you please help me finish it, Mr. Victor?
Victor crossed his arms, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips.
Victor: You want your boss to work for you?
Kasa: How can this be considered working?
I shook my head and corrected him with a straight face.
Kasa: This is clearly someone who's being immersed in art alongside me!
Kasa: Besides, with your good taste, this exhibition is sure to be a great success.
Victor: ....
Victor sighed, feigning helplessness.
Victor: Since someone spoke so sincerely, I couldn't very well refuse.
Kasa: Great! I'll add you to our team right away!
Victor: Wait.
Just as I excitedly picked up my phone, Victor suddenly grabbed my wrist.
Victor: If you want me to work, shouldn't we discuss the pay first?
Victor: Let me preface this by saying I'm very expensive.
Kasa: You still want payment!
Victor: Because I am a bad capitalist, and I have a price tag.
Kasa: Hum, okay.
I hooked my arm around his neck and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
Kasa: The deposit has been paid~
Kasa: How about I pay you the rest in installments?
Victor's lips curled up, and he touched the spot I had kissed with his knuckles, raising his eyebrows noncommittally.
Victor: Installment payments are acceptable, but I require daily payments, and each payment must be at least the deposit amount.
Daily dialogues
DAY 1
Victor: Leave the connoisseurship to me; you can go and handle other matters.
Kasa: Waaah, is it really okay?
Victor: Believe me. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Welcome to...
---
Victor: Okay, the reception is over.
Kasa: (=ε£=) Wow, that's amazing! I heard that group of connoisseurs are extremely picky! They've criticized several art museums. After you talked to them, they actually offered to write a letter of recommendation for our art museum!
Victor: It wasn't anything special.
Kasa: Victor, how did you do that? Could it be that you won them over with your profound knowledge of art?
Victor: No, it's just because they all know me.
Kasa: (*´・Π΄・) | Turns out he's the legendary master!
DAY 2
Victor: Are you sure? Drawing takes a lot of time.
Kasa: It's okay, I promise I'll sit still and be a good model! Please draw me to be both beautiful and cute!
Victor: Okay, then sit down.
Kasa: Uh-huh.... zzzzz....
---
Victor: It's closing time, wake up.
Kasa: Oh no, when did I fall asleep?! ∑(°Π°γ)γ Waaah, why didn't you wake me up!
Victor: Someone was sleeping so soundly, how could I bear to wake her?
Kasa: Oh, right, the portrait...!
Victor: It's finished, take it.
Kasa: Waaah, I was supposed to be a good model, but I fell asleep completely... Huh? Victor, did you draw what I look like with my eyes open based on your imagination?
Victor: I didn't imagine. Because my lover's face is already imprinted in my mind.
DAY 3
Victor: Are you sure Pudding wants to wear it?
Kasa: Hmph, Pudding is so obedient, he'll definitely like it! Come on pudding~Pudding
—Don't hide—! Oh no, it's hiding under the sofa and won't come out at all TT
Victor: I'm going to open a jar, watch me. …success. As expected, you have to use food to lure Dummies.
Kasa: (´͘・Ο͘・`) I feel like you're alluding to something.
Victor: You think so? Could you get Pudding's hat for me? ...Okay, he's all dressed.
Kasa: Wow, our Pudding is so cute! He's a total little cat artist!
Victor: Are you sure he's a young painter? I can tell it's completely uninterested in those little art toys you bought. It seems to be just like you, more suited to be a gourmet.
DAY 4
Victor: What brilliant idea has someone come up with this time?
Kasa: It's very simple~ You draw on my back, I guess your brushstrokes, and I draw what you've drawn! It's said that you can get a small gift if you guess correctly!
Victor: ...This game doesn't seem to have anything to do with teamwork? But since you want to play, we can give it a try. I'll start then.
Kasa: Hmm... one arc, then another, a straight line... Is this an arc or a horizontal line? I see, I understand now! Swish, swish, swish—mission accomplished!
Victor: ....
Kasa: Um...
Victor: My strokes clearly resemble a rose.
Kasa: Waaah, how come our teamwork is so bad?
Victor: I've already said this has nothing to do with tacit understanding. ▼"▼# It's just that Dummy is too stupid.
DAY 5
Victor: There should be extra vases at home, let's put them all in them and decorate the house.
Kasa: Okay, okay, let me find where the flower shears are~ Um?? Victor, so you can arrange flowers!
Victor: I learned a little from my mother when I was little, but it wasn't professional. For example, right now I'm finding it hard to decide which of these two flowers is better.
Kasa: Let me see... I chose the one on the right because it smells better.
Victor: So, did someone originally judge a book by its smell, not its appearance?
Kasa: Of course, besides beautiful colors, fragrance is also a way to enhance a home, isn't it?
Victor: ...Wrong sense.
Kasa: How can this be considered fallacy? For example, the aroma of baking pudding, the scent of shower gel, and the smell of coffee... When you smell it, doesn't it give you a feeling of "Hmm, this is Victor and Kasa's home"?
Victor: ...Okay, that's not a fallacy. And you inspire me too. We can add more scents that we all like to our home.
DAY 6
Victor: Hmm...huh? you here? Weren't you busy with the new exhibition hall?
Kasa: I've already handed it over to them. Besides, you're the biggest contributor to this exhibition setup, so of course I had to come and comfort you first.
Victor: ▼v▼ It seems my performance was pretty good, earning me a personal greeting from the producer.
Kasa: Victor, do you want to lean on me and rest? Don't worry, my shoulder may not be broad, but it's broad enough to support you for a short rest.
Victor: Since someone has extended such an invitation, it would be impolite of me to refuse.
Kasa: o(*°▽°*)o Wow, time flies! In the blink of an eye, this event is almost over.
Victor: Yes, but it's definitely worth it.
Kasa: Worth what?
Victor: It's worthwhile to enjoy this peaceful and relaxing moment with you.
DAY 7
Victor: Alright.
Kasa: Victor, let's take a picture together!
Victor: Alright.
Kasa: Victor, take another picture for me!
Victor: Alright.
Kasa: Victor, let me take a picture of you to remember this moment.
Victor: No.
Kasa: Why!
Victor: That's so childish. Only Dummy would like to leave a memento in a place like that.
Kasa: Hmph, not childish at all, it's clearly adorable! Just one picture! And every time I see this picture of "Little Victor with Red Flowers," I'll think of what I've been through these past few days.
Victor: ...Fine, take the picture. Do I just... stand here?
Kasa: Three, two, one, is the watermelon sweet or not...? Let me see…it seems your head isn't completely inside the flower. Could I take another picture?
Victor: Who just said "only one"?
Kasa: Waaaaaah...
Victor: Sigh, okay, if you want to take another picture, I have a request.
Kasa: What are the requirements?
Victor: Someone's well-known request ▼v▼
