Setsubun Festival - Hinata Aoi Mini Event: Spirit of Apricot Blossoms

Translator: Mika Enstars

"Fine with me though, you can call me Hinata-kun."

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Hinata: I've been called "Aniki" for so long, it was refreshing to be called "Hinata-kun"…

Ahh, yeah, by Yuuta-kun.

At first it surprised me, but I felt it might be nice every so often.

💬 Hinata-chan

⭐️

Hinata: Anzu-san, were you even listening to me~?

He called me "Hinata-kun", not "Hinata-chan".

Don't get that part wrong, okay?

🌟

Hinata: No no, there's no "Hinata-chan", you know?

I mean, isn't it a bit tough to say?

Though, Hinata-chan is one thing, but calling me just "Hinata" would be fine~. ♪

💬 Hinata-kun

⭐️

Hinata: Whoa, that surprised me?!

It's fine if you call me Hinata-kun, but please don't say it right in my ear!

Feeling your breath on my ear's real ticklish, you know~?

🌟

Hinata: What's this, Anzu-san's become influenced by Yuuta-kun as well?

Fine with me though, you can call me Hinata-kun.

If anything, I feel you should call me by that some more~! ♪

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Hinata: Setsubun makes me think of oni and beans, so apricot blossoms were kinda surprising.

Hmm. So apricot blossoms are considered messengers of spring?

Is it because Setsubun is the day before the first day of spring?

💬 Springs the number one most important season, after all

⭐️

Hinata: Huh? What makes spring the most important season?

Hmm, I see. Because the four seasons start with spring?

That's true, when you name the calendar, it goes spring, summer, autumn, then winter. I've learned something new~! ♪

🌟

Hinata: Because according to the lunar calendar, the year begins with the beginning of spring, right?

I've noted it was an important season, but I never looked into it.

No worries, no worries, I would've looked it up myself if it was something I really was itchin' to know. ♪

💬 Probably

⭐️

Hinata: I see, well I've learned somethin' new today~! ♪

I was wondering why it was considered a motif for Setsubun, but…

Now it all makes so much sense!

🌟

Hinata: So you're not even completely sure, Anzu-san?

Won't you mix up apricot blossoms and peach blossoms like that?

There's no need to do that much, though. You're so serious, Anzu-san, you know that?

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Hinata: Let's bring the apricot blossoms into bloom, hyaah~! ☆

Umm, well, since my outfit for the Setsubun Festival is that of a spirit of apricot blossoms…

I wondered if I should try to do something that fit the part.

💬 Don't apricot and peach blossoms look alike?

⭐️

Hinata: Wha? Ah, yeah. Now that you mention it, I suppose they do.

Oh no, it's just that we were talking about apricot blossoms, and then suddenly peach blossoms were being brought up, y'know?

It surprised me, like "where did that come from?"

🌟

Hinata: I know, right? They look so similar, it's so easy to get them mixed up!

But, apparently there's a sure-fire way to tell them apart!

As long as you keep it in mind, then you'll never get apricot blossoms and peach blossoms mixed up, right?

💬 Like the Hanasaka Jiisan![1]

⭐️

Hinata: Ahaha, Anzu-san, you're so delighted over that, huh? ♪

All I'm doing is tossing bits of origami paper around, but…

If you're happy from it, then I guess dressing as a spirit of apricot blossoms was well worth it. ♪

🌟

Hinata: Whaa, is that supposed to make me happy~?

Sure, I guess what I'm doing is similar to the Hanasaka Jiisan, but...

I'm waaaay too young to be called an old man, y'know?

[ ☆ ]

Anzu is referencing a Japanese folk tale here, Hanasaka Jiisan, which can be translated to "The Old Man Who Made the Dead Trees Blossom".

"Whoa, am I in the presence of a hot-shot producer right now?!"

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Hallway

Hinata: Anzu-san! Out with the demons, in with the fortune~. ♪

See, see, today's the day of the Setsubun Festival, isn't it?

As I've encountered an oni, consider this a greeting☆

💬 (Dodge quickly)

⭐️

Hinata: Ooh, what a nimble dodge!

But, too bad! I've predicted your movements, hyaah~. ☆

Oh shoot, it actually hit you! Sorry, Anzu-san, did that hurt?

🌟

Hinata: As expected of ya, Anzu-san, you've seen through my movements♪

Alas, next is… Oh shoot, I'm outta beans!

You've narrowly escaped death this time, Anzu-san~.

💬 Out with the demons, in with the fortune~♪

⭐️

Hinata: Ahaha, you're not very good at this, huh, Anzu-san...

I'm right over here~! Oni-san, come this way, to the sound of my clapping hands~! ☆[1]

Whoa, you missed again, huh? I guess you're skilled in doing that, huh?

🌟

Hinata: Ahaha, I like your attitude, Anzu-san!

Oh, whoa! That was a close one, nearly got hit there~!

Guess you've got some real skill in bean-handling, eh? ♪

Location: Passageway (1F)

Hinata: Anzu-san you're part of the staff for Setsubun Festival… or rather, you're the head of staff, yeah?

I'll be participating as an idol, so I'll be in your care~! ☆

Hm? Yuuta-kun? Won't Yuuta-kun be joining as an idol as well?

💬 Aren't you curious about which side he'll be on?

⭐️

Hinata: Wha~? Well now you've said that, I am.

Yuuta-kun should participate in the Setsubun Festival if he wants to.

As long as he does what he wants to do, then I'm satisfied♪

🌟

Hinata: Since you're asking me, that means you know the answer, right?

Ahaha, thought so~.

You're running the Setsubun Festival, so it's a given that you'd know it, right?

💬 He didn't tell you?

⭐️

Hinata: It's less that he hasn't tell me, and more that I haven't had the chance to ask.

Yuuta-kun and I's interests and hobbies are complete opposites, so…

Lately, we haven't really been talking to each other aside from the times we make effort to meet up, you see.

🌟

Hinata: He didn't… I haven't had much of a chance to speak with Yuuta-kun lately.

Oh, but, we're not fighting or anything!

2wink is actually doing unbelievably well right now, so don't worry♪

Location: Hallway

Hinata: Since this event was planned by Sakuma-senpai, it ended up turning huge, huh!

Anzu-san, you're running the Setsubun Festival, right?

You gotta be nervous, given this is the first time a S3 has gotten to this scale!

💬 I'm alright

⭐️

Hinata: Ahh, you're impressive as always, Anzu-san! You're so dignified~!

You've handled DreamFes even above the S3 rank, so I guess this is nothing new to you, huh~.

As a producer, you're as dependable as they come!

🌟

Hinata: Whoa, am I in the presence of a hot-shot producer right now?!

That shows just how much you've worked your butt off, y'know~.

I guess that a rude question of me to have asked?

💬 Just a little…

⭐️

Hinata: Anzu-san, your face looks so serious... You really are nervous, aren't you?

I suppose it's normal to get anxious, no matter what DreamFes you've held in the past?

It'll be alright! With the skills you have, I know you can do it, Anzu-san♪

🌟

Hinata: Hmm, so you really are nervous?

Well, it's just cause you've done bigger DreamFes than S3s, y'know?

So it's a bit surprising, I figured you'd be used to it now.

Setsubun Festival - Yuuta Aoi Mini Event: Twin Oni

Translator: Mika Enstars

"Yep. Hinata-kun is Hinata-kun."

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Yuuta: Hmm, what should I do…? Oh, Anzu-san! Perfect timing!

Harukawa-kun had offered me some sweets, but…

I'm not much a fan of sweets, so I'm not sure what to do.

💬 He gave me some too

⭐️

Yuuta: Ahaha, we're in the same boat, aren't we?

I also get it, it's such a waste to just throw food out.

Even if someone gives me sweets, I can't just refuse it.

🌟

Yuuta: And they were so delicious you gobbled them right up?

The members who baked them must have had some serious skill, then, huh?

Especially if it's earned such high praise from you, Anzu-san. ♪

💬 Would you want to trade for these wasabi beans?

⭐️

Yuuta: Wow, is that okay? You're a life-saver!

I could eat spicy beans forever if I wanted~, munch, munch. ♪

I'm so lucky to have bumped into you, Anzu-san. ♪

🌟

Yuuta: Um, are you sure you're alright trading?

You'll end up getting heartburn from eating nothing but sugary sweets, won't you?

So, I'll just accept the thought. ♪

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Yuuta: It seems that Hinata-kun and Harukawa-kun are pretty close.

They make sweets together pretty often… Huh? Oh, I see.

You find it strange that I called Aniki "Hinata-kun", don't you?

💬 Hinata-kun, huh?

⭐️

Yuuta: Yep. Hinata-kun is Hinata-kun.

Because I'm Yuuta-kun… and together, we're the two-in-one 2wink.

After taking the long way around, I feel we've finally found our way of life. ♪

🌟

Yuuta: Yeah, that's Aniki.

Umm, or I guess I should call him "Hinata-kun"?

Ahaha, I feel a little embarrassed.

💬 You've always called him Aniki, haven't you?

⭐️

Yuuta: Yeah, calling him that has ingrained itself into me too.

If I let my guard down, I'll end up reverting back to "Aniki", you know?

There might never be anything I can do about that.

🌟

Yuuta: Yeah. I've been calling him Aniki for years.

You know, Aniki… Hinata-kun seemed to like that I called him this too, so…

Maybe it's alright to call him "Hinata-kun" every so often.

Location: Setsubun Festival Stage

Yuuta: Thank you for all your hard work, Anzu-san. ♪

A lot's happened, but the only part left of the Setsubun Festival is this performance.

So, I too will be singing and dancing along with Aniki. ♪

💬 The outfit suits you

⭐️

Yuuta: Ahaha, thank you so much.

Apparently, Spirits of Apricot Blossoms count as a motif for Setsubun, but…

When I think of Setsubun, I definitely think of oni and beans, you know?

🌟

Yuuta: That's because 2wink often wears fantasy outfits, you know?

And as Spirits of Apricot Blossoms, the outfits are very gorgeous.

I'm definitely much happier to hear that it suits us, rather than it be something that doesn't seem very 2wink-like♪

💬 I'm cheering you on

⭐️

Yuuta: "Hooray, hooray, do your best"?

Ahaha, I can really feely our support.

But, I feel a little embarrassed, so just waving your hands is enough to convey your support, alright?

🌟

Yuuta: Thank you so much.

Hearing those words from you is more encouraging than any cheers.

Producer, please don't take your eyes off the stage. Watch us until the very end, okay? ♪

Setsubun Festival - Yuuta Aoi Mini Event: Bean-Throwing

Translator: Mika Enstars

"Anzu-san, I'm sorry, but could you get my feet out of this? And please, don't tell me whatever it is!"

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Winter

Location: Hallway

Yuuta: Right? I was munching away on them before I even realized it.

Beans are good for your health, but you can't eat too many of them.

No matter how good something may be for you, moderation is essential. ♪

💬 It's hard not to eat them, isn't it?

⭐️

Yuuta: Munch, munch... Hmm? Anzu-san?

Ahaha, yeah, these are Fukudama beans.

I happened to have some in my pocket, so I'm eating them as a snack.

🌟

Yuuta: Ah, Anzu-san. Eating my beans too, are you~?

Ahaha, it's alright. There's plenty.

Go ahead, you're welcome to eat your fill. ♪

💬 How do they taste?

⭐️

Yuuta: They're just sooo delicious! ...No, not really, they're not that good.

They're soy beans, after all.

They're not so delicious that you can't stop yourself from eating more.

🌟

Yuuta: Hmm, not delicious, but not terrible either.

I started eating them mindlessly, but now I can't stop…

Is there psychology behind eating something that doesn't even taste all that good?

Location: AV Room

Yuuta: I look forward to working with you, Anzu-san. ♪

Y'see, I'll be participating in the Setsubun Festival as part of the staff.

I figured to drop by and say hi, since you're in charge.

💬 Let's make this festival a good one together!

⭐️

Yuuta: Yup, let's do our best to make it a good one~. ♪

Well, that being said, we're essentially throwing beans all around the school.

So it's all on the staff to figure out how to make it exciting.

🌟

Yuuta: Yes, let's do our best~. ♪

It seems we're trying something new and trying to make it feel more akin to a TV program.

So, let's hope this'll be a DreamFes everyone can enjoy, Anzu-san. ♪

💬 Thank you for your courtesy

⭐️

Yuuta: I'm just dropping by, no need to make a big deal of it, okay~?

Don't you greet the staff every time you arrive on set, Anzu-san?

What I'm doing is no different.

🌟

Yuuta: Something like a greeting can't even be called courtesy, you know~?

Greetings are the most basic of basics.

And no matter how creditable someone is, who wants to work with someone stuck-up enough to not even extend that?

Location: Passageway (1F)

Yuuta: Eek?! It's slippery under my feet again… No, what is this sticky sensation?!

Anzu-san, I'm sorry, but could you get my feet out of this?

And please, don't tell me whatever it is!

💬 This is… Natto, huh?

⭐️

Yuuta: Uu, didn't I just tell you to not tell me~?!

That explains why it was so sticky!

I dunno who it was who set this trap, but those who waste food will be punished, you know~?

🌟

Yuuta: N-Natto…? Wha, why on earth is natto here?

Wellll, I suppose natto is soybeans, just fermented, but…

If we were throwing natto instead of soybeans, it'd be hell on earth, you know?

💬 Okay

⭐️

Yuuta: You said "okay", but why does it look like you really want to tell me?

I should go and wash off my feet ASAP?! W-What on earth does that mean?!

Eek, the curiosity is killing me, but I don't wanna know…!

🌟

Yuuta: Thank you so much, thank goodness~.

I'm not in the mood to enjoy an out-of-season ghost story!

I don't mind being the one to spook someone, but I do not want to be the one getting spooked!

Yuuta: Exactly what you should expect from a toy store! It's filled with tons of cute toys~. ♪

This teddy bear looks to be dressed in a soldier's uniform.

Would you like one too, Anzu-san?

💬 I'm more interested in the penguin next to it

⭐️

Yuuta: Huh, do you like penguins, Anzu-san?

Huh, not really? Then why the penguin?

Ahaha, you're such a weirdo, Anzu-san.

🌟

Yuuta: Penguin…? Oh, this one here?

For sure, this plushie's really cute as well.

What's more, it seems like it makes noises when you press its tummy. Maybe I should by it? What to do~. ♪

💬 Hmm…

⭐️

Yuuta: Is the price worrying you? Oh, that's pretty expensive, huh~.

Actually, here I am touching something for sale. Hime-kun might get mad at that…

I'll hurry and put it back before he makes me pay for it.

🌟

Yuuta: Huh, I don't think it'd be out of place in your room, Anzu-san.

Could that be what you're worried about?

But if anything, I can confidently recommend it since it's so cute! ♪

Yuuta: Did you play with toys when you were little, Anzu-san?

Ahaha, of course you did. I did as well.

Now this brings back memories~, this toy was pretty popular back then, wasn't it?

💬 I wonder if this is the doll I had

⭐️

Yuuta: Whoah, are you okay?!

Thank goodness~ ...It would've been terrible if the doll was dropped onto the floor, it's for sale.

I'm so relieved nothing bad happened.

🌟

Yuuta: Wow, so the eyes open and shut when you tilt it up and down?

And next to the doll… is that clothes for it? For playing dress-up, huh?

There's so many different kinds, you'd never get bored. ♪

💬 Was it?

⭐️

Yuuta: Anzu-san, you have a little brother, right?

Have you ever heard about him talking about these things? …Not recently?

That makes sense. It's rare for siblings to be clingy once they reach high-school age, after all.

🌟

Yuuta: Huh, you don't recognize it, Anzu-san?

Now that I think about it though, this toy was more popular amongst boys.

So, it makes sense that you wouldn't recognize it.

Location: Toy Shop

Yuuta: Hmm… Hmmm…

Oh, Anzu-san. I heard that the toys at this booth here are only 500 yen.

But I'm having trouble deciding which one to get.

💬 I'm having a tough time too

⭐️

Yuuta: I'm sorry, Anzu-san, I didn't mean to bother you with something that doesn't concern you.

I'll just give them a closer look for the time being.

If I still can't decide, I'll think about it another time.

🌟

Yuuta: Ahaha, you look so serious about this.

500 yen is such a steal, isn't it?

It makes me want to buy not just one, but maybe two or three. ♪

💬 How about this one?

⭐️

Yuuta: Anzu-san, that one's not priced at 500 yen~.

Looks like you wandered out of the 500 yen booth on accident.

Here, I'm gonna go and put that back.

🌟

Yuuta: It's about the size of your palm, so I won't have trouble finding a place to put it…

And the design is so intricate, it doesn't look like it cost only 500 yen at all!

I'm gonna buy this, as per your recommendation, Anzu-san. ♪

This is unusual for you. You usually arrive early.

I stopped by a convenience store, so I'm running late.

💬 The convenience store?

⭐️

Yuuta: Things were hectic today, and I didn't end up having time to eat breakfast.

So. I decided to grab something small at the convenience store.

You did too, Anzu-san? Ahaha, we're both in this together. ♪

🌟

Yuuta: Yup. I bought some curry buns over there.

They had oden as well, but it'd be hard to eat while walking.

And above all, it'd be unruly to people who pass by.

💬 I didn't wanna get out of bed…

⭐️

Yuuta: I get it. It's hard to part with your futon when it's cold out, isn't it?

At this time of year, I'm always torn between the desire of staying rolled up in my futon...

And the feeling that I have to go to school.

🌟

Yuuta: …Even you say things like that, huh, Anzu-san?

My image of you has kinda always been of someone who quietly and diligently worked away whining, so…

I guess I'm a lil' surprised.

Location: Student Council Room

Yuuta: I didn't expect to be offered me a job from Hime-kun…

We were totally free after Halloween Party rounded up, so…

The timing couldn't be more perfect…♪

💬 You'll be forming a Temporary Unit, right?

⭐️

Yuuta: I'd have never expected we'd end up forming one with those from fine.

Though, the student council president formed a temporary unit before...

Sine there'll be another one, I guess he's open to stuff like this, surprisingly, huh.

🌟

Yuuta: Yup. We'll be forming a temporary unit along with fine.

Meaning, it'll be a unit that's neither 2wink nor fine.

Ahaha, it feels weird to me even now!

💬 Let me know if there's anything I can do, okay?

⭐️

Yuuta: Umm, I'm happy to be offered that, but...

This isn't an work that Aniki got me, and neither is it something assigned to us by a teacher.

If there's work to be done, I'm pretty sure it'd be through Hime-kun or Fushimi-senpai contacting you, okay?

🌟

Yuuta: Anything you can do… Fushimi-senpai's asked you to do some work already, hasn't he?

You know, how he asked you to make some flyers!

Anything else? Hmm… I'll ask Fushimi-senpai if there's anything else, okay. ♪

Location: Student Council Room

Yuuta: Isn't it great there doesn't seem to be much work for you to do for Toyland, Anzu-san? ♪

Huh? You're actually disappointed over it?

Ahaha, you find labor to be a joy, just like Fushimi-senpai, huh.

💬 I can't relax if I'm not doing something

⭐️

Yuuta: You're always doing something, even when you're talking to me.

Even though you're… not exactly the restless type of person.

You seem more to be the type who loves working hard for the sake of others. ♪

🌟

Yuuta: You don't seem to relax, even on your days off, huh Anzu-san.

I see you around even when school is out.

It's a mystery whether you ever get any rest.

💬 Work keeps me lively, after all

⭐️

Yuuta: You know, Anzu-san, you seem like you'd take on any work that's asked of you.

Even work that anyone can do, you end up taking on.

I'm worried that the work that really needs to be done by you will get neglected…

🌟

Yuuta: So rather you become tired when you don't have work?

Hmm. So the more work you do do, the more you feel recognized, huh?

You know, I can kinda understand that feeling. ♪

The overall design is pretty rough, though…

It makes me curious as to why so much effort was put into the small accessories.

🌟

It'd be pretty bad if the merchandise ended up damaged.

If you're that curious, why not buy it and give them a closer look then?

💬 I couldn't

⭐️

Yuuta: Mmm, are you sure?

Oh, maybe you're be the type of person who prefers to buy things they want on your own…

There's customer service work to be done too, so be sure to stay hydrated!

💬 I think I need to take a shower…

⭐️

Yuuta: Now that you mention it, I still gotta clean the shower room…

I'll be right back to give it a clean, so please wait inside.

I'm so sorry to keep you waiting in this heat…

🌟

Yuuta: You sweat a lot moving around in kigurumis, don't you?

You should be able to use the shower at the beach house.

I'll ask the shop owner if you can use it. ♪

💬 Did you buy this just for me?

⭐️

Yuuta: Yup. It's a thank you for helping out with the flyers♪

I just bought it, so it should still be cold.

Be sure to drink it all up before it gets warm! ♪

🌟

Yuuta: Umm, would have mineral water been better?

I bought a sports drink, thinking maybe you'd need to replenish your salt intake, but…

If you don't like it, I'll get you something else, okay?

Location: Beach House

Yuuta: Thank you for all your hard work doing customer service...♪

Huh? Aniki's helping out in the kitchen?

So that's why I didn't see him around... I can picture him having a blast helping out.

💬 He was a huge help

⭐️

Yuuta: Is that so? I'm relieved to hear he wasn't causing any trouble.

Like myself, Aniki's pretty good at cooking.

That being said, neither of us can make elaborate dishes.

🌟

Yuuta: Did you tell Aniki that too?

Knowing him, praising him will just make him even more cocky…

So,if he becomes a pain about it, tell him straight out, alright?

💬 He's good at what he does

⭐️

Yuuta: In the past, we'd almost put our fingers with knives, but…

After cooking ever day, we've become really accustomed to using knives.

Now, even julienning is a piece of cake! ♪

🌟

Yuuta: That's because we cook on a regular basis~.

Y'know, since our father isn't the type to do that sort of thing.

Not doing so would be bad for our health after all, so we take turns cooking. ♪

"Ahaha, now I've got something to look forward to…♪"

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Summer

Location: Hallway

Yuuta: Keeping a jellyfish at home does seem like it'd be soothing, huh.

But we already got two cats though, so it'd be difficult.

I guess my only option would be to the aquarium…?

💬 You can see them at the Marine Life Club

⭐️

Yuuta: In that case, I'd definitely love to go to see them, but…

I'm not a member of the Marine Life Club, y'know?

I'd feel bad about imposing myself.

🌟

Yuuta: The Marine Life Club has jellyfish?

Ah, Kanzaki-senpai said something like that, didn't he?

Maybe I could take a look around if I ask Shinkai-senpai?

💬 Would you like to go with me next time?

⭐️

Yuuta: Go to the aquarium… with you?

I'd love to, Anzu-san, if you're alright with that.

Ahaha, now I've got something to look forward to…♪

🌟

Yuuta: Umm, is it alright if Aniki comes with too?

I think he'd end up moping if he learns I went with only you.

Plus, it'll be the more the merrier, I'm sure♪

Location: Practice Room

Yuuta: Oh, Anzu-san. Thank you so much about earlier…♪

I was able to talk to Aniki about the S2 thanks to your help.

Though, he was really surprised when I asked him if we could compete against AKATSUKI.

💬 I'm glad you were able to talk

⭐️

Yuuta: It's all because you pointed me to where Aniki was!

Lunch break probably would have ended if I hadn't asked you.

You seriously saved me there…♪

🌟

Yuuta: Yeah, thanks a bundle…♪

We might have not been able to participate in the S2 if we hadn't talked then…

It's a huge relief that we were able to talk about the production.

💬 Do your best!

⭐️

Yuuta: Uu, the pressure's starting to mount.

Since our minds are set, I'll do the best I can, but…

I'm getting so anxious about it my stomach's starting to hurt.

🌟

Yuuta: Thanks, I will!

They're a formidable opponent, but a great match.

Besides, we have you to cheer us on, Anzu-san. ♪

Location: Practice Room

Yuuta: It's like every unit's DreamFes is themed around the rainy season…

I think it'd be a good idea to also incorporate something "2wink" into our production and it's direction.

Hmm, maybe I should ask Anzu-san for some advice…?

💬 How about lotus flowers?

⭐️

Yuuta: Wha? ...Oh, Anzu-san. You were listening to me, huh?

Lotus flowers would be more suitable for the production than something like hydrangeas.

I'll discuss it with Aniki right away...♪

🌟

Yuuta: You were behind me, Anzu-san?

And, lotus flowers, you say... This is the time lotus flowers bloom.

I'll pass on your idea to Aniki, Anzu-san...♪

💬 Did you call for me?

⭐️

Yuuta: Eek?! A g-ghost...?!

No no no no begone, evil spirit, begone... Huh? Anzu-san?

S-Sorry about that. I didn't mean to lose my composure!

🌟

Yuuta: Whoa, Anzu-san?! Ah, but your timing is great!

I wanted to get your advice on something, Anzu-san.

Do you have some time after this…?

Oh no, I just was surprised to be suddenly handed one.

Like, "what does this mean"…?

💬 Because I heard you got hurt

⭐️

Yuuta: Huh? Who told you that?

Aniki, you say… There he goes, saying unnecessary things again~!

Anzu-san, please don't take what that guy says seriously, okay?

Yuuta: You probably heard that from Aniki, didn't you?

I did get hurt, but I only hit my head.

It doesn't hurt anymore, so please don't worry. ♪

💬 Because you were holding your head

Yuuta: I fell down the the stairs just now, actually.

So, I was checking my head to see if it left any bumps.

You too be careful when going down the stairs, okay?

Yuuta: Ahaha, it's nothing serious, so don't worry.

I just did a little oopsie before running into you.

Location: Hallway

Yuuta: What do you do to relax, Anzu-san?

Y'see, the topic came up when I was talking to Kanzaki-senapi earlier.

So, I was curious about what you do.

💬 Space out and do nothing

⭐️

Yuuta: I might end up calling out to you if you're spacing out, Anzu-san.

I guess it's because you always seem so busy, but…

I'd probably end up worrying something's wrong.

🌟

Yuuta: There are times you just don't feel like doing anything, huh?

You always seem to be so busy with your work as a producer.

I hope you'll be able to give yourself a proper rest once you're able. ♪

💬 Do work

⭐️

Yuuta: Huh? You do work in order to... relax?

Ahaha, you're a true workaholic, huh, Anzu-san?

I hope to follow your example some day. ♪

Yuuta: Anzu-san, I know you love doing your work, but…

If you do nothing but work, life becomes boring, y'know?

That being said, only playing around isn't good either, huh.

Location: Hallway

Yuuta: Aquarium therapy, huh…

Have you visited the aquarium lately, Anzu-san?

It's just a thought, since the word came to your mind so quickly.

💬 I visited the Marine Life Club

⭐️

Yuuta: The Marine Life Club's activities sure are a mystery, aren't they?

It seems that Kanzaki-senpai's a member of the Marine Life Club too, but…

I wonder the reason why he joined.

🌟

Yuuta: The Marine Life Club…?

Hmm. There are all sorts of fish there, aren't there?

That would definitely give me the feeling of visiting an aquarium.

💬 I haven't

⭐️

Yuuta: Huh, really?

Though, I guess aquariums aren't exactly a place you visit often, do you.

Though if you're going with friends, or are a parent with children… Or a couple, it does sound pretty fun.

🌟

Yuuta: So you haven't, but have you gone anywhere similar?

You know, like… Like the ocean… No?

If there's a place with those vibes nearby, I'd like to go visit too♪

Ahaha, so actually, I was given some sweets as a White Day repayment gift from Aniki.

But, all of the sweets are sugary ones, so I dunno what to do.

💬 It makes you want to have something salty, huh?

⭐️

Yuuta: But if you eat something salty, then you'll get thirsty, won't you?

Ah, but, I get thirsty after eating something sweet too.

I guess something to drink will be necessary either way.

🌟

Yuuta: You get me, you get me! You just suddenly want to eat something salty, right~?

But then, if you eat something salty, then you'll want to have something sweet.

It's either one or the other after all, you can't be greedy and have both at once.

💬 Want to trade for my sweets?

⭐️

Yuuta: Thank you so much for the offer, really, but…

You bought those sweets because you wanted to eat them, Anzu-san.

With that in mind, I'm kinda hesitant to ask you to trade.

Hmm. You suddenly started to crave some, so you picked some up at the store, huh?

I'd really appreciate it if we could trade, then. ♪

Yuuta: Wow, amazing! You got it right!

They're for women to wear too, so do wear it if you'd like.

Yuuta: You're good with things as spicy as wasabi, you say…?

Natsume: Please don't speak to me as if you're scolding a shut-in chiLD.

I only happen to be conducting experiments the time you show uP.

It's not all I dO, alrigHT?

🌟

Natsume: You want me to go outsiDE? Who do you think you aRE?

AhH, sorRY. I didn't mean to respond so harshLY.

But realLY, just leave me aloNE, Tsumugi-senpai.

Location: Secret Room

Natsume: Tsumugi-senpai, haven't I been telling you to stop calling me "Natsume-chan"?

Do you lack the ability to leaRN, Tsumugi-senpai?

Next time you call me thAT, I'll start calling you "Tsumugi-chan", got iT?

💬 You shouldn't use the "-chan" honorific on those older than you.

⭐️

Natsume: You are just so particular about the fact you're oldER. Do you want to be respectED?

But at this poiNT, I'm not sure if you're even worthy of that respeCT.

I'll let you know the answer to that once I've reached a conclusiON.

🌟

Natsume: HmPH, trying to act all grown-uP, are yOU?

You seem to dislike being called with the "-chan" honorifIC, Tsumugi-senpai.

How come you don't realize you're treating someone in a way that you yourself don't like to be treatED…?

💬 That makes us sound like good friends, doesn't it!

⭐️

Natsume: But I don't intend on becoming your “frieND”, Tsumugi-senpai.

HmmM… Is this how you grow your circle of frienDS?

But too bAD. I'm not someone who is so easily swayed by emotiON.

🌟

Natsume: …You have such a simple, foolish way of thinkiNG, Tsumugi-senpai.

Still a bit of a strange oNE, aren't yOU.

My “magic” doesn't even work on yOU. Isn't that quite interestiNG?

Location: Secret Room

Natsume: …Why did you open the doOR, “Tsumugi-niisan”?

I've been telling yOU. My experiments require delicate balanCE.

I have to start over from the very beginning nOW, what a headacHE.

💬 Could… I help you out with the experiment?

⭐️

Natsume: Considering how much effort it'd take explaining it to yOU, it'd be more efficient if I just do it myseLF.

Of course you doN’T. If you did knOW, I'd be surprisED.

You're such a troublesome persON, causing me more work like thAT, “Tsumugi-niisan”.

🌟

Natsume: Do you even know what experiment I'm conductiNG, Tsumugi-senpai?

Of course you doN’T. If you did knOW, I'd be surprisED.

I'll overlook it this tiME, but next tiME, be more conscientioUS.

💬 I-I'll be sure to knock like this next time, alright?

⭐️

Natsume: Tsumugi-senpai, I can't hear that at aLL.

You'll have to knock harder on the door if you want it to reach my eaRS.

And knocking will prove to be meaningless if it never reaches mE.

🌟

Natsume: …Are you trying to break the doOR, Tsumugi-senpai?

You'll break in the door knocking it that haRD.

And the door closes perfectly tOO, so be careful with iT.

winkWINK - Epilogue

Characters: Yuuta, Hinata, Kaoru, Izumi

Translation: Mika Enstars

"…Thank you, Yuuta-kun."

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]

Season: Summer

Location: 2wink ThanX Festival Stage

The day of the 2wink Fan ThanX Festival, in the audience…

Kaoru: Whoa~, they pulled it off again…! Those two are incredibly nimble!

Even though I’m not the one doing it, I keep getting second-hand anxiety that they’ll mess up!

Izumi: Like, how is it even possible to juggle whilst so off-balanced?

…Though, this feels more like an acrobatic troupe’s performance than an idol one.

Kaoru: Ahaha, well that’s fine, isn’t it? It’s a performance suited for those two, right?

They used the weapons they had to appeal to their strengths. That’s what 2wink has always done.

Still, I didn’t expect you to attend, Senacchi.

Izumi: I just happened to get a ticket from Yuuta-kun. I didn’t have any other plans, so the timing just worked out, that’s all.

On the other hand, I’m surprised that you’re the only one out of UNDEAD to attend, Kao-kun. I figured they’d all be there to see this.

I had gotten the impression you and the others are really fond of these guys, you know?

Kaoru: So even you got that impression, huh, Senacchi?

Well, the truth is, the others all had work they had to do and so they wouldn’t be able to attend, but…

I actually just got a message earlier that they’re on their way.

Seems that in the end, they really want to see their juniors perform on the big stage.

…It’s not like we’re those two’s guardians, or anything.

We understand that being over-concerned with them would end up being meddling those kids’ don’t need, but…

Even still, when one of them has a gloomy face right beside you, you just can’t help but reach out to them, you know?

Izumi: I mean, that’s fine, right?

No matter how splendidly they grow, it’ll never change the fact that they’re important to you.

Izumi: …If they don’t like being worried about, then they’ll just have to prove themselves on stage.

Perform the best live ever, and blow away all of our worries.

Location: Backstage Wing

Hinata: Good job, Yuuta-kun! The energy around the venue is absolutely fantastic~!

Yuuta: Good job to you too, Aniki. …Though let me remind you that the real deal starts now!

Hinata: Yup! If up until now has been a performance depicting 2wink’s past, then from here on out it’s a performance to show “what's to come”!

…Thank you, Yuuta-kun.

Yuuta: What’s this all of a sudden, Aniki?

Hinata: I just was thinking about how hard it must’ve been leading a project for a Fan Thanx Festival.

Sure, you’ve had to think up plans and hold meetings with staff before, but… I don’t think you’ve ever done something to this scale before.

I think the Fan ThanX Festival is far bigger than anything we’d ever done before. And I imagine it was really tough communicating and stuff with Mitsushita-san too.

Yuuta: That’s for sure. It was to the point that there was a time I seriously was afraid of what was going to happen…

But, in the end, I think I managed a live performance that was satisfactory.

That, and… It gave me a chance to reassess things.

Hinata: Like… yourself?

Yuuta: Well, a lot of things? Myself, the feelings of my fans… and you too, I guess?

I found myself thinking, “and this sort of tough stuff is what Aniki’s always doing as leader”, at times.

Hinata: Yaay! ♪ Yuuta-kun praised me!

Hinata: …But you know, I haven’t done anything as tough as you did, you know?

I’d never come up with plans and stuff all on my own. And if anything happened, I’d always go right to Yuuta-kun, you know?

Speaking of which, this time around I respected your decision and didn’t butt in much, but…

You still managed to complete the project. And that’s really amazing. I’m really happy, you know.

So, thank you Yuuta-kun, for making this 2wink live such an amazing one! ♪

Yuuta: Sigh… You’re just exaggerating, Aniki.

Hinata: So, from now on, I think I’ll ask you to help out by doing plan meetings and the like too, Yuuta-kun!

The two of us make 2wink, after all~. Let’s continue to help each other out, ‘kay?

Yuuta: …You say that, but you just want to go and have fun, don’t you?

Well, that’s fine. The experience will come in handy for when I do solo work, right? ♪

Hinata: Hey~! Don’t say such lonely things, Yuuta-kun!

Yuuta: You’re being too clingy, Aniki. My outfit’s going to fall apart. A lot of effort was put into the making of these, you know?

And our time is nearly up too, so get it together, okay?

Hinata: Yessir~. We have to make sure we show our fans how serious we are!

Location: 2wink ThanX Festival Stage

Hinata & Yuuta: “Láilai! Láilai!”[1]

Hinata: “Everyone, are you enjoying our live?”

Yuuta: “In the first half, we sang some of our old songs and showed off some of our fan-favorite performances!”

Hinata: “Feelin’ nostalgic? But y’know, we’re just not satisfied with stopping there!”

Yuuta: “There’s not enough excitement and thrill in looking back and going, “wow, it’s been great”!”

“What, oh just what are we going to do? I’m sure you all have hiiigh expectations for us…”

Hinata: “After all, we 2wink are the only ones who can blow your expectations out of the water!”

Yuuta: “Don’t feel satisfied just yet!”

“Starting now, we welcome you all to a world of amazing fun…♪”

Hinata: “♪~♪~♪”

(…This is so fun, isn’t it, Yuuta-kun? ♪)

(To tell the truth, when our plans for the Fan ThanX Festival were more or less finalized… I too felt like there still was something missing.)

(But, I didn’t say it right away.)

(Because, this time, it was you who wanted to proceed with the plan’s management. I thought that as long as you were happy with it, it’s fine.

(And I believed that our fans would feel happy with it, too.)

(…But, then you said that it wasn’t enough. That you wanted to ensure it was an amazing performance, one that’d surprise our fans even more.)

(We might be aligning less and less, and we have more differences than ever, but, y’know?)

(At that moment, we shared the very same feelings. And I thought, “things will be just fine the way they are, won’t they?”)

Hinata: (That… Just that alone makes me incredibly happy!)

(To be able to stand on the same stage as you like this, with all of our fans supporting us like this… I’m so happy! ♪)

(So, Yuuta-kun… Let’s have even more fun! Let’s make today’s performance the very best it can ever be!”

Yuuta: “♪~♪~♪”

(Aren’t you flying a bit fast, Aniki? Trying to provoke me, are you?)

(Fine by me. I’ll show you!)

(…This is 2wink’s performance. Our fan’s eyes are all on us, but…)

(That doesn’t mean it’ll last forever. There’s always the chance fans will be drawn away or lose interest.)

(—I won’t allow that to happen.)

(Everybody here. I want all of them to gaze upon 2wink and 2wink only. I won’t let anyone else have them.)

(I want to capture everyone’s hearts, and never let them go! I’ll prove myself to them with my brilliance!)

Yuuta: “Now, the fun’s only just getting started! Don’t take your eyes off us, even for a second!”

“We’re going to make this a performance so amazing that you won’t be able to think of us, and nothing else…♪”

They say “来来” here, which is “rairai” in Japanese, and “láilai” in Mandarin Chinese, meaning “come, come!” or “come and see!”. Since it was intentionally chosen for its shared use in Chinese, I’ve decided to translate it into Mandarin Chinese.
