しろくまカフェ bis » Volume 3 » Page 43

Masaki’s dream job making coffee turns out to be nothing like he expected, as he’s put to work sorting out good beans from bad. When he finally has the chance to roast beans, he’s eager to use the fancy roasting machine, but he’s instead given a handheld coffee roaster to hold over a portable stove’s flame.

エゾリスA:
「ほらほら ちゃんと()すらないと〜」
“Come on, come on. You have to shake it properly.”
エゾリスB:
一部(いちぶ)だけ()げちゃうわよ〜」
“Parts of it might get burnt.”
マサキ:
「うるさいなあ」
“Hush up!”

Key Points

  1. ちゃんと = the right way

    • Here ちゃんと means Masaki needs to shake the roaster correctly and carefully, not just “somehow”.

    • The point is that there is a proper technique for roasting evenly.

  2. ()すらないと = “if you don’t shake it”

    • 〜ないと gives a practical consequence: if he does not shake it, a problem will happen.

    • In context, the missing result is supplied by the next line about beans burning.

  3. The two lines work as one warning

    • ほらほら pushes him along: “come on, come on”.

    • 一部(いちぶ)だけ ()げちゃうわよ explains why the shaking matters: only part of the batch may burn.

  4. 〜ちゃう adds an unwanted-result nuance

    • ()げちゃう is a contraction of ()げてしまう.

    • It suggests an accidental or undesirable outcome: the beans could end up getting scorched.
