Summary

You didn’t make Hina happy, so I shall kill you.

wtf is wrong with me...?

Excuse me old chap, I hate to bother you at a time when you are obviously incredibly busy. I mean it’s Christmas tomorrow and I know very well that you’re one of those typical men who doesn’t buy the turkey until literally 5pm on Christmas Eve, when all the shops have either run out or only have some mega expensive organic thing left over… anyway I’m getting carried away with myself I do apologise.
I’ve come to have a polite little word with you about the person known as Hina. Now I truly appreciate that you probably tried your very best with her and are a wonderful person deep down, but I’m inexplicably sorrowful to inform you that you did not create a happiness level in her of a proportion that I would deem as acceptable for her.
Therefore it is with great sadness that I must inform you of one thing. Because of the aforementioned information, I feel that the necessary action to take in this situation would be to bring your life to an abrupt end. I do apologise, I honestly know you don’t have the time for this, and your Mum is my best friend so I feel like I’ll probably be putting her out too. This will weigh truly heavily on my heart.
I would like to humbly ask you which method of execution you would like…

I’m sorry. I do not know how to make the tags that hide translations. Is there a topic that shows the different codes for different actions in the forums?

Listen you little prick, if you make Hina unhappy for one second, you’re dead meat!!

Answering Question

てめえ is a really insulting way to say あなた. Like おまえ but more shounen manga style rude. It’s probably in katakana for emphasis, and pretty slangy.

My effort, extra marks for showing my working-out please sensei

テメェはヒナちゃん幸せにしてなかったら殺す

テメェは - As for Teme

ヒナちゃん - Hina-chan (another character, think the main female protagonist)

幸せ - (spicy or happiness, looking it up, ah happiness, good fortune, luck)

幸せ にする - to make happy, to make happy

ヒナちゃん幸せにする - to make Hina-chan happy

してなかったら - negative, past conditional; if didn’t do

ヒナちゃん幸せにしてなかったら - if didn’t make Hina-chan happy

殺す - to kill

who would kill? the topic Teme

who would be killed? the listener ? you

if you didn’t make Hina-chan happy, Teme would kill you

Edit: ugh, I’m rubbish; not sure where I went wrong with the topic particle…
