Yukari sees Mina with a kendama while between classes. She tells Mina they need to get to their next class, but Mina has decided not to head to the classroom until she successfully gets the ball onto the spike. Yukari tells Mina to hand it over to her to try.

ミナ:
「えーーー 時間(じかん)ないのに。」
“Aww... But we don't have time.”
ユカリ:
「いいから。」
“Never mind that.”
Literal: “It's fine.”

Key Points

1いいから = don’t worry about that
  • Yukari is dismissing Mina’s objection about time, not literally saying “because it’s good”.
