Hey ma'am!
You always take such good care of me...wa ha ha ha ha ha
Kiss!!! Seeya
Remarks about the translation
Literally:
Hey, "kami"! A fair bit
I'm going to cause you (or: I cause you) trouble (i.e. because you have to take care of me)...
ha ha (x3)
Kiss(es -- it could be plural in English)!!! Goodbye

The "kami" in the text is unclear.
I translated it here as a "slangy" diminutive of "o-kami-san." This is a "nickname" usually used to address the female owners/managers of restaurants or bars, and "jovially" to older women and wives in general...
I know "kami" also means "God," but it sure didn't seem right to use it in this context, and in its short form "kami"! No one would ever say that here... Ó_Ò

This "kami" is probably a typo for "kimi" which means "you" (it is an informal, friendly/affectionate for of the word "you"). Thank you to cesur_civciv for this suggestion! ^_^
If the word here is really "kimi," the text would mean:
Hi honey/buddy!
You always....(etc.)

Hello Mr. Ian,
I'm sorry but I have no idea what "yaa kami" means.
And..."Kekkoo" is "結構" or "決行" ...??

Maribora could have written in Japanese character...

Hello Mr.Ian again,
It may be JUST A TYPO of "Yaa kimi(やあ、君)".
Then..."kekkoo" is probably "結構".
How do you think?

cesur!
Wonderful!!! I think so too!
I'll add your "kimi" idea in the notes!
I also think we can assume "kekko(u)" means 結構 in this context, not 決行 or 血行 or 欠航, etc...
I also wish people would write their requests in Real Japanese Writing: many people submit their requests in Romaji...

Hi Yukiko,
The request was in Japanese, and the Translation was into English. We would like to know what you think of the English translation!
