Sweets/Knights Part 4

translation notes:

Oh, I’m just itching to get started♪ / Do you say that because your name is Narukami?: The original phrase is 腕が鳴る (ude ga naru/”my fingers are itching to do it”), an idiom used to show someone’s eagerness to show off their skills in something. Tsukasa thinks that Arashi says this because his last name, 鳴上 (Narukami), shares the same 鳴 kanji as the 鳴る in 腕が鳴る.

Golden sweets: Refers to 山吹色のお菓子 (yamabukiiro no okashi), confections shaped and colored to look like gold coins. Often used as in periodical dramas to represent bribery between the merchants and the magistrate, so you can probably guess what Arashi’s implying.
