Having the chance to ride a car, Porfy frolics so much as if he has completely forgotten about Mina's birthday.
By the way, was my last translation for お前の手先が器用なのはわかってるけどなあ in my previous post acceptable?

I would say yes although you could have just said "I know you're good with your hands". These intentional changes are nothing unusual in translating a story. After all, you are the one who knows the flow of the story. I only have these almost isolated lines.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.

Well, although I know exactly what is going on since I follow the story, I still prefer to hear other people's opinion to improve my own wording. Anyway, thanks again for your great help. I'll probably have nothing to ask in a while.
