Yuuyake Rocket Pencil

It's a new week, an the start of a new series too. This time we'll be translating "Sunset Rocket Pencil"! It's a heart warming SoL series about a little girl who runs a stationery shop, desperately holding onto old memories. Be prepared for heart-warming and heart-wrenching moments ahead.
Side note: This series has already begun scanlations by BlackRockScans in 2013, but was dropped at chapter 7. There are 17 chapter total and I will be translating one a day, everyday, just like with Yakumo-san. If you want to read ahead, you can find the translated chapters here: bato.to/comic/_/comics/yuuyake-rocket-pencil-r1901

Chapter 1: Rocket pencil
I’m home!

(sfx: Piroriroriron)
Dad!!

We-Welcome home Satomi
When the bell rings, answer the door!!
Stop stop! I’m just busy working
Then why is the computer this hot? And why is it the only thing lit up in the store?
I had a meeting at the bar today.
Dad, that is…
Oh, please refer to me as Worren
(square: net game)
How many people came today?
Customers?
Ah, I just woke up just now
Ohhh
I got a secret stone!!

Ah! Satomi, stop! Don’t throw away my game!
Jeez!!
How can we have any customer with that kind of shopkeeper
I’m not the shopkeeper, I’m a knight of love!
(labels: Binder, worn, 150 yen
Ear clips
Mohican pen holder)

I can’t even tell if these things are profitable. We have nothing but weird junk.
(small text: Satomi, Worren wants curry today)
That binder looks like something from 20 years ago….
Excuse me
Ah, Ayano Kouji-san, welcome
Ouu, It’s cold outside
It’s still cold even in March huh
The hospital today too?
Yeah, my hips still hurt
(small text: Yesterday, I dropped by Yama-san’s house on my way home. He has this dog, right? That dog is…
…and then, the greengrocer looks kinda…
Right? At the super marke…
He took 15 onions with him…)

Ara, it’s already this late huh?
I should head home soon, my daughter-in –law can get quite scary.
I’ll stop by again
We’re not a resting loungeeeee!!!
Did Ayano Kouji-san stop by again?
Does she look healthy?
Yeah. Just the usual neighborhood gossip again. She’s gonna live a long life.
Is that so?
Then can I have some money for Ice-cream?
You’re just gonna have to make do with water
(small text: and what do you mean “Then…”?)

Mornin’
Ah
We’re here Sacchan. Are you free right now?
Want to go to Shimizuya? We have some points saved up
Nacchi is treating us to some Chilulo Chocolate too!
Only 3 though
I have to be home for the store
Again? If you don’t want to go then you don’t have to say that!
(small text: We came all the way here)
(sfx: silence)
Fine then
I won’t invite “Marutomachi-san” again.
Let’s go!

Making dinner is too much trouble
Hurry up…
And come back….
Mom
(small text: sorry)

Uhmmm
Hyaaaaaaaaaa
Ah
So-
Sorry!
It’s fine. That aside, can I take a look inside?
Ah, yes, please.

Ooohh
This is great
First time I see a shop with this many screen tones
Ah, thank you
“That’s because Dad is an Otaku” (I probably can’t say that)
This man … looks very young
Ah, his hand is all black.
And he’s unshaved

Ah, sorry
Did I get caught staring?
That is a Rocket pencil right?
Eh?
That thing on your chest
A rocket color pencil, right?
Ah, this is…
Why are you hiding it? Please let me see
Oh, such nostalgia
I used to have one too.

You still have one of these huh
It has plenty of colors, but don’t be fooled. Even if you take just one color out the whole thing falls apart
Replacing each color is a bit of a hassle, so in the end they never get used up.
A relative of the color changing pencil. They were launched in 1970. Each has about 20 colors. Their popularity quickly spread among children.
Seeing all the colors lined up kinda makes me want one too.
Please give it back.
This is great
I never used up mine back then
But I can probably do that now huh…

Thank you. How much are you selling these for?
Ah, we haven’t stock these in quite a while.
(small text: this one is mine)
Ah, is that so? Too bad…
Then I’ll have to look somewhere else. Thank you for the tones.
Ah. Thank you very much
“This is great”

Welcome back Satomi. Did you buy me some Cola from the convenience store?
The non-diet one?
Are you still doing that?
Ayano Kouji-san…
Oh, are you still in your pajama? It’s already past noon.

Do you need anything?
No, I came to talk today
Guess I didn’t make it clear enough before
My son has the specific estimations
He also has some connection with a demolitionist
Separating the shop from the living area is pretty simple too. They’ll just take this 4 sided space.
Compared to the profit from the shop, this is not bad no matter how you compare it. The garage, I mean…
Ayano Kouji-san

Thank you for your concern, but…
Again?
How many year do you think it has been?
If it’s you alone… No, It has been 3 years since you two separate. But that girl is still in elementary school!
Do you not know who she’s waiting for?
Satomi
Yes?
Did your friends came?

Yeah
They went on and on about Chilulo Chocolates and the candy store, you know? That sort of kids stuff. I like being at home better, so…
I’m really just like you, dad.
Do you not know …
….who she’s waiting for?

Can’t be helped then. I’ll just have to skip out again.
I’m home

Why are you home this late?
d-dad?
Ah
Uhm
Please turn on the lights while you’re here.
Uhmmm, just a bit…
I was looking for something…
Satomi…

This store…
I’ll shut it down and turn it into a garage.
Eh?
That way we can turn in a profit.
Why? Why did you say that? Wait up! There will definitely be more customers!
I’ll open up the store, and clean it to! If you just wait then I’ll definitely
Nobody is going to come to this store, Satomi.
Not even the one you’re waiting for.

So it’s probably time you throw that thing away too.
Please abandon it.
What do you mean “that thing”?

(paper: the great adventures of shit-kun)
No! I will never abandon it!

Abandon it!
I’m begging you…

I’ll probably be like this for all my life. And she probably have already found a new life
She won’t come back

Ahhah, what I’m I going to do with you?
This is fine, all of it.
I won’t have to worry over after school. I’ll get to play.
A new life.

Ah
It snapped
“Nobody is going to come to this store, Satomi.”
It’s no good anymore
“Not even the one you’re waiting for.”
Always, even since before
So-
Sorry….

Thank god…
You’re still open…
Are-are you alright?
That aside!!
I need 5 number 61 delta and number 63 and 64, 2 each!!
(box: tone)

I’m saved. I can meet the deadline with this.
Uhm, the bag…
It’s fine, don’t need it. I’m eco-friendly anyway
Thank you! You’re a life saver.
His hands are wet…
A shining example of retailers
Here
Eh? This is…
A gift. You wanted this didn’t you?
Sorry it’s used. I’ve looked for a new one everywhere.
But I can’t find one no matter where I go. Also…

I don’t…
…need this anymore.
Please take care of such an important item.
It’s fine, I don’t need this right now.
And I know you’re holding on to it for me.

Is v2-3 public raw of the same quality? I can share ebooks if it's not. They're 1200px, though.

You don’t have to cry, I get it. That alone is enough.
Crap! I have to get home soon.
I’ll come to buy some tones again
Next time, you have to smile, okay?

DAD!
What…
One came!
What? Don’t tell me…
I waited and a customer came!
I’ll clean the store properly, and turn on the lights too
If we show off our products, wait, and believe, more customers will definitely come!
Definitely!!
Mom will definite;y return!!
If you don’t want to wait, dad…
Then I’ll wait for you.
I’ll clean the shop and show off the products in your place too. It’ll definitely bring in more customers!!


They are, but that is probably for the best, since my internet connection probably can't handle anything larger. It's not like I'll edit these anyway.

That’s why…
…I want you to hand the shop over to me!!
I thought I told you to abandon it.
You’re only seeing through sweet memories
Clinging on to something like that…
… won’t do you any good you know.
I don’t know who influenced you, but….
That’s wrong!!
That person…

Kids should play.
Leave working to the adults
That’s wrong!!
Don’t say it won’t do any good!!
I… was happy today
For the first time.
So please let me take over the store!

The store uniform
It’s small, so you should fit
Then dad…
…will play for your part too
You’ll need a monthly allowance too.
Yeah…!

Eh? You changed the sign?
That’s nice
Hehe
But those clothes
Please don’t look
Did Dad made Mom wear this too?

And that was it for chapter 1. Gotta say, this series is much longer and wordier than Yakumo-san was, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep to schedule, but I’ll try. I did try to reach out to a few scanlators in those scanlation threads but to no avail, so I thought I’d translate them myself. Translating 1 chapter a day, every day, around this time.
Raws for this are available here: nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=709240
My previous series, Yakumo-san wa Edzuke ga Shitai:
bato.to/comic/_/comics/yakumo-san-wa-edzuke-ga-shitai-r19969

Just read the first volume. What the fuck is wrong with the Dad, how does he manage to be so fucking pathetic?

I want to say he's not actually that bad, but then I'll have to go into spoilers territory

Thank you for your work translator-san, but nobody will want to read this wall of text.
You need a typesetter.
