Shinseki No Ko To O Tomari Da - Kara Eng Work
Let me break it down:
- "Shinseki no ko" (親戚の子) = "relative's child" or "cousin's child"
- "to o tomari" might be a mishearing or typo. Possible candidates:
- "tomo ni tomaru" (共に泊まる) = "stay together overnight"
- "otōmari" (お泊まり) = "sleepover"
- "da kara" (だから) = "so" / "because"
- "eng work" likely means "English work" or "engineering work," but probably "English work" (homework or practice).
So a literal guess:
"Because I'm staying over with a relative's child, (I do) English work."
