C: April 29th is Yokoshima Enaga-san's birthday 🎉
K: Yokoshima Enaga-chan, happy birthday~!
Y: Th-that’s… me made out of papier mâché?!
🌸 Yokoshima Enaga-san 🌸
An evil (?) shima enaga (silver-throated tit). Although they try to look cool and speak in an evil manner, they unintentionally reveal their kindness. Atop Koupen-chan’s head is their secret hideout, and they sit there often.
Thought bubble sound effect: * menacing *
The cactus they received from Adelie-san that they’re tending to, named Bad-tus (ja-boten)* —>
Last Year’s Translation
References
Papier Mâché: 紙粘土 (かみねんど) (Jisho)
Cactus: サボてん (saboten) (Jisho)
Kanji for Evil: 邪 (ja) (Jisho)
So the cactus’ name is ja + saboten = ja-boten 邪ボテン.
The best I could come up in English in a short time is Bad-tus (Bad + Cactus), lol. Let me know if you have any better ideas.
I remembered this from a previous translation, but you may find this useful. monono ものの (Jisho) means “although” or “despite the fact that.”
