Enthusiasm in giving a bribe with ノリ気
Vocabulary Explanation: Enthusiasm with 乗り気
Hinagiku wants to see behind Rindou’s mask. Since Sazanka was scolded for trying the same, Hinagiku suggests they team up to take Rindou’s mask away. Asagao opposes the proposition, but Sazanka immediately quiets her by offering a bribe for her support.
- ヒナギク:
- 「ふーん。そっちでアサガオ買収してくれるなんて、ノリ気じゃない。」
- “Hmm. If you're willing to bribe Asagao on your side, you're pretty into this, aren't you?”
- Literal: “Hmm. If you'll bribe Asagao on your side, your riding spirit is there, isn't it?”
- 「私の術で言うこときかせる手間が省けたわ。」
- “Saves me the trouble using my technique to make her do as I say.”
- “Hmm. If you're willing to bribe Asagao on your side, you're pretty into this, aren't you?”
Key Points
1ノリ気 = eager to go along with it
- Here ノリ気 means someone is getting into the plan and showing willingness to participate.
2〜してくれる softens the viewpoint around “doing this for us”
- 買収してくれる presents the action as something Sazanka is doing on their side or for their benefit.
- That helps the line feel like “if you’re even willing to bribe Asagao for this…”
3そっちで means “on your end”
- そっちで does not mean physical location here; it frames the bribing as the part Sazanka will handle.
- This unpacks as “if you’re going to take care of bribing Asagao on your side”.
4じゃない gives a pointed observation
- The ending ノリ気じゃない is an assertive observation, like “aren’t you pretty into this” or “looks like you’re into this”.
