The day is drawing near for the National Mahjong Tournament for the prefectural nominations. Saki and Nodoka are at Mako’s house helping with the family’s store. Hisa begins to talk about the training when she really has something up her sleeve.
The place is really busy this time of year, and a part-timer called in sick, so they're low on staff, it seems.
المكان مُزدحمٌ جداً في هذه الفترة من العام
وقد تغيّبَ عاملٌ بدوام جزئي بداعي المرض، لهذا تنقصُهم أيدٍ عامِلة على ما يبدو
Están muy ocupados en esta época del año y un 
ayudante se enfermó, así que están faltos de personal.
Ils sont vraiment occupés 
en ce moment
In questa parte dell'anno è sempre pieno, 
e una cameriera part time si è data malata,
Nessa época do ano, fica bem corrido por lá,
