* Chapter 14: Kujou Takamasa

|||        14-1: Darkness                   |||
3: Thanks to Banri-san, I think we'll be able to do something about Yuki-san's old partner.
6: Indeed.... OH, Yamato! Is it okay that you didn't go to the hot springs?
2: Well, Banri-san wasn't in the mood for it either. Maybe next time....
*slam*
aya: Ahh!
2: Woah there. You okay?
aya: I'm very sorry. I'm in a rush right now-- Ah!! IDOLiSH7!
2: W-what?
aya: U-um...! I heard that Sougo-san and the key holder gave my Nii-chan a virus, so--
2: Please calm down.
3: This utter lack of ability to explain things.... Kinda reminds me of someone....
6: OH, what a /charming lady. Hi, girl.
aya: /H-hi....
6: I am Nagi. I was given this life so that I could become a knight and save you.
aya: M-me?
3: Don't mind him. If you translate what he's saying, he's basically saying "How about you have some tea with me, my lady?"
6: /No. I am here to aid you in your search for your angelic wings, which you have lost. Perhaps we can talk in that cafe over there--
3: So you were inviting her out to tea!
aya: Mr. Knight, please help me! There's some thing I have to deliver to my sick brother!
2: ...Brother?
3: What's this thing you have to deliver?
*honk honk*
6: Hm...? OH! Now there are angels of love in our presence!
tmg: Nagi-san! Everyone! Where are you all headed?
3: Manager!
tmg: If you'd like, I can drive you guys there!

TV Show Staff: Good work today! We're done filming!
5: ...That person from earlier said that he was acquainted with my uncle....
5: ...He's not here anymore. I wonder where he went.......
4: You bastard!
5: Wah--
4: What did you make TRIGGER say! Something about me getting sick.... And what was that about the key holder!?
5: ...We don't know where she is. However, she may come to see you after hearing something like that.
4: Yeah, but.... Why didn't you explain it to me first!?
5: I lied about the note being from the sponsors. If they found out, then you would also get--
5: Ow, ow, ow, ow! Why are you pinching me!?
4: You're just being self-righteous again! How many times do I have to tell you before it gets in your head!? You're really dumb for someone who went to college, you know!
5: Dumb!?
4: One moment you're timidly giggling, and then the next you're waving around a screwdriver with a really scary face! You're way too extreme!
5: Says you! You're always in a terrible mood then you suddenly start grinning all of a sudden? You're the one who doesn't have any middle ground!
4: You-- You're the one that didn't wanna disband!
5: I don't! I don't, so that's why I'm trying so hard--
10: Stop...! Stop it, you two!
8: You said it was for reconciliation. Was it for them?
9: Oh? But it doesn't seem like it helped at all. See, they're fighting.
8: That was a little too blunt....
TV Show Staff: Oh, is MEZZO" fighting? We're seeing a lot of IDOLiSH7 today, even though it's their day off.
Osaka Sougo・Yotsuba Tamaki: Huh?
TV Show Staff: I just saw Riku-kun and Iori-kun in Re:vale's dressing room!

7: Good afternoon.
1: Thank you very much for sending us those refreshments.
Yuki: Oh? Welcome.
Momo: Were the fruits yummy?
7: Yes! There's something we'd like to discuss with you today.
7: Instead of having our secret concert with TRIGGER in the middle, can you make it the first performance?
Yuki: That's fine with us.
Momo: If it's the first performance, isn't it rude to you guys?
1: Not at all. Don't pay it any heed. Do we have your approval, then?
Momo: Yep. We'll tell the concert staff.
1: There's one more thing we'd like to talk about. It's about Yuki's old partner.
Momo: .......
7: Hey, that's what Mitsuki and the others are--
1: It's better if we have more information.
Yuki: ...Alright. What is it?
1: Your partner disappeared because of that forceful producer who had their eyes on you guys, correct?
1: There may be a chance that your partner is with that producer right now.
1: If you don't mind, can you tell us what the name of that producer was?
Yuki: Yeah.... The producer's name was Kujou.
7: Kujou......!?
Momo: Huh...? By Kujou, do you mean.... Ten's adoptive father and also that famous producer....
Yuki: Yeah....... It's the same guy.
7: Kujou.... So he approached Re:vale too, huh.....
1: That person.... Isn't he the reason why your parents lost their shop, Nanase-san?
7: Yeah.... He's the guy to took Ten-nii from us.
Momo: You should've told us!
Yuki: I didn't want to talk badly about my kouhai's father.
Yuki: We couldn't get along with him, but Ten's a perfectionist and things seem to be going well with him.
1: ......Why didn't you work with Kujou-san, Yuki-san?
Yuki: Kujou looks genial, but he's an overbearing man..... And not just that.... He seemed like he was obsessed with something....
7: Obsessed with something...?
Yuki: ......That injury to my partner's face was probably Kujou's doing, just so he could get his hands on us.
Yuki: That's what I think-- even now.
7: No way.......
7: Why does Ten-nii trust someone like him....
7: 'Kujou's right'.... I don't see it at all....
1: Nanase-san....
Yuki: I saw Kujou today. He came to watch Ten recording his show.
7: Huh...?
1: Producer Kujou did?
Yuki: If you're interested, then you can go meet him.
Yuki: But, please be careful. ......That man is filled with darkness. (1)

To be continued....




mitsuki talking about translation,, i've never felt more meta than in this instANCE... IM TRANSLATING MITSUKI TRANSLATING NAGI, WHO I HAD JUST TRANSLATED 2 LINES BEFORE
(1) THE DARKNESS IS DEEP IN THIS MAN deosn't sound quite right so. yep.



|||        14-2: White Clover               |||
Yuki: I saw Kujou today. He came to watch Ten recording his show.
7: Huh...?
1: Producer Kujou did?
Yuki: If you're interested, then you can go meet him.
Yuki: But, please be careful. ......That man is filled with darkness.

9: Huh.... Where did he go....
8: Who are you looking for?
9: It has nothing to do with you, Gaku. This is a family matter.
8: By family, you mean either Kujou or Nanase Riku, right?
9: ......Indeed. How is your family doing? Did you give your father a shoulder massage coupon for Father's Day?
8: Why are you trying to dodge the question with sarcasm?
9: ...I'm not.......
8: You're way too secretive. Don't you think so too, Ryuu?
8: ......Huh? Ryuu?

4: ......So if I wait here, then Aya'll come?
5: I'm betting on that. However, I don't know when.
5: ...So you don't have to accompany us, Tsunashi-san.
10: I'm staying. Because if I take my eyes off of you guys, you'll start fighting again.
4: ...Has someone ever told you that you're a busybody?
10: How did you know?
10: That message was for Aya-chan, wasn't it? I don't know why they told us it was orders from the sponsors, though....
4: FSC's Sou-chan's house. (1)
5: Tamaki-kun!
10: 'FSC's Sou-chan's house?' Are you saying that the company office is nearby Sougo-kun's house?
4: The head honcho of that company is Sou-chan's dad.
10: Huh!? FSC's!? No way! So 'Osaka' is referring to the the Osaka Family then!? Then Sougo-kun's our sponsor's heir!?
5: ....Please keep it a secret. I don't want people to treat me strangely.
10: That's fine, but.... T-thank you very much, we have been in your care....
5: No, no! They've since disinherited and cut all ties with me. ...I was just taking advantage of my name today.......
5: I asked Tamaki-kun to keep MEZZO" from disbanding, if I could find Aya-chan.
5: That's why I intruded upon your show. I am terribly sorry.
10: So that's how it is.... Disinherited, huh.... It must be rough....
10: But more importantly, you want to disband MEZZO", Tamaki-kun? Didn't you tell me you wanted him to praise you yesterd-- mmph!
4: Shut up!
10: You should just tell him....
4: It's because he went from screwdrivers to raiding a TV studio! I haven't had the chance to interrupt him!
10: Screwdrivers...?
4: This guy is even more extreme and heinous than you'd think, Ryuu-aniki....
5: Ah--
4: I'm sorry!
*vroom*
5: It's our manager's car. The people in it are.... Is that....
*slam*

[CG GOES HERE]
aya: Nii-chan!
4: ......!
4: Aya!
/tmg: The girl began to sprint towards Tamaki-san, her dress billowing behind her.
/tmg: Tamaki-san's younger sister, whom he had been looking for--
/tmg: Yotsuba Aya-chan kicked off the ground with all of her might and leapt into Tamaki-san's arms. (2)
aya: Nii-chan, Nii-chan......!
4: Aya...!
10: ...This girl is Tamaki-kun's younger sister....
5: I'm so glad.... Tamaki-kun....
4: Aya.... You're here.... Finally, finally here.... I'm glad you're still alive.... (3)

aya: Nii-chan, are you okay!? I heard you caught a virus, Nii-chan....
4: Y-yeah.... That was Sou-chan's battle strategy....
aya: I brought this! King's Pudding!
aya: You always got your strength back by eating this whenever you were sick, right!?
4: ...Aya.......
aya: Mom said it once. That this was worked better than anything the doctors could prescribe.
aya: So.... So please be healthy again. I don't want you to die.... Nii-chan.......
4: You dummy.... There's no way I'm gonna die.... We're gonna be together from here on out, Aya....
4: Because Nii-chan will protect you from now on....
aya: Nii-chan...!
tmg: I'm so happy.... Tamaki-san....
3: Y-yeah.... I'm so happy for him....
2: You two sure cry easily....
6: /Amazing.... What a beautiful sight. Two siblings who had been separated, finally reuniting....
8: Hey, Ryuu. You disappeared. What are you doing?
8: ......? Isn't that IDOLiSH7's Tamaki and.... Who is she?
10: Tamaki-kun's younger sister. ...They're finally reunited.......
9: ....... 'Younger sister'.......
9: ......Aya is?
4: Let's live together from now on. You know, Nii-chan's an idol right now. So don't worry, I have money.
aya: Ah.......
4: What's wrong, Aya?
aya: I'm sorry, Nii-chan.... I can't live with you Nii-chan.
4: ...W-what did you say?
aya: I just wanted to see if you were doing well or not by meeting you. Now that we've met like this, that's all I need.
4: What do you mean this is all you need? You don't have to hold back! I'll take care of you from now on--
aya: Someone's already taking care of me! He's my new father.... I'm living with him right now, so....
4: I'm your actual family though!
aya: I know! ...But I want to be with my father.... I want to repay him!
4: You can't! I don't want to let go of you, ever again! Come with me, Aya...!
aya: No....
9: Let go of her.
4: Tenten......?
aya: Ten onii-chan!
4: 'Ten onii-chan'......!?
8: She's Ten's younger sister...? The hell is going on!?
9: .......
9: Are you okay, Aya?
aya: Yeah.....
4: What are you saying, Tenten.... Aren't you Rikkun's older brother? Aya's my--
9: That's all in the past.
4: 'Past'....
9: She's registered as my younger sister on the family register now. Please refrain from being violent towards her.
4: You bastard! The hell are you saying--
9: Stop it, Nii-chan! Don't do anything mean to Ten onii-chan!
4: ...Aya....... Why.......
aya: Nii-chan.... I really love you, Nii-chan.... I've been wanting to see you for a long time now....
aya: But I have a new family now.... I have Kujou-san and Ten onii-chan.
aya: And.... There's something I owe to Kujou-san-- I don't think I will ever be able to repay him enough.
aya: He shouldered my foster parents' debt, and is now taking care of me.......
aya: He even gives me pretty clothes to wear, and I have singing and dancing lessons overseas!
4: Singing and dancing lessons? Why....
aya: I'm gonna be an idol!
aya: One that can surpass Zero!
4: ...Idol.......
3: One that can surpass Zero......?
aya: It might be impossible for me.... But if Kujou-san's dream is to raise an idol that can surpass Zero, then....
aya: I want to answer to those feelings.......
9: Aya.......
4: Why.... What's with that.... Who is this Kujou!
*footsteps*
kj: He's a man who shared the same dream as Zero, a long time ago.

To be continued....



(1) tamaki's orginal line could be sorta deciphered into what Ryuu interpreted ("FSC, Sou-chan chi dayo." "Kaisha ga Sougo-kun no ie ni chikai tte koto?") because tamaki cuts out a lot of syllable when he speaks to give him that casual/lazy feel. Ryuu most likely miconstrued the 'chi' (for house) as the 'chi' in chikai/nearby as he tried 2 understand what the hell tama was saying. 100% understandable.
(2) IS THIS A JOKER FLAG REFERENCE ??? 地面を蹴って ???? "shiroi u fuckhead not every tinyass matching phrase is a reference--" fHshdhFM LET ME BELIEVE (probably not)
(3) we've finally met didn't sound quite right so !!

|||        14-3: A Ghost of the Past        |||
kj: He's a man who shared the same dream as Zero, a long time ago.
5: ......! You're...!
aya: Kujou-san!
4: Kujou!? This guy is!?
kj: Zero, Haruki, and I.......
kj: Back then, the three of us we believed that we could make any dream come true.
6: Haruki......? Are you acquainted with Haruki?
kj: Ah, very much so. I was Zero's manager.
tmg: ......! Zero's manager!?
tmg: Ah.... I met you that time at Zero Arena....
kj: Long time no see, miss.
kj: I was Zero's manager, and I was also in charge of staging his concerts.
tmg: ...Haw9.......
kj: Yes.
kj: I adorned Zero's stages, entranced, so that his songs could shine, so that his dancing could burst into seven colors.
kj: Red light. Blue light. Flash. Laser. Mirror ball. A quiet block. An showy block.
kj: So that he could beyond the rainbow, so he could shine bright like the stars in the night sky.
kj: ......However, Zero betrayed me.
kj: He ran off halfway through the dream, and left me behind.
3: ...Ran away!? Zero--
kj: That's why I've decided. I'll create a legend that'll surpass Zero.
kj: Those were very painful, very agonizing days. I traversed the entire world-- but even if I had found the raw materials for a star, none of them lived up to my expectations. (1)
kj: Neither Osaka Satoshi nor Yuki of Re:vale took the hand I had extended to them.
kj: They wasted their chance and are nothing more than second-class now.......
5: What--
kj: But you see...... I've finally found them. I found children who could make my dream come true.
kj: Talents capable of surpassing Zero.
kj: Ten.
9: ...Yes.
kj: Aya.
aya: Yes!
kj: These children are the remnants of my hope.
8: Ten's gonna.... Surpass Zero......? Did Kujou raise you for the sole purpose of surpassing Zero?
9: ......Yes. He adopted me when I was 13.
10: No way.... Why didn't you tell us all this time?
9: ....... Let's go home, Kujou-san, Aya.
aya: Yes, Onii-chan. ...Sorry Kujou-san, for leaving the house of my own accords.......
kj: Ahaha....... It's fine. Aya's a tomboy, after all.
4: Wait....... Are you going with him...? That's a lie, right? Right, Aya?
4: ......Aya!
7: --Kujou!
kj: .......
9: ...Riku.......
7: It's been a while, Kujou.... I bet you don't remember me.
kj: Indeed. I wonder who you are.
7: I'm the son of the people who owned that shop you crushed.... The twin brother of Nanase Ten, whom you took away from us!
kj: Ah.... I remember now. You were that child who only knew how to cry while holding Ten's hand.
7: ...I'm different now!
7: Ten-nii! Don't go with him!
9: .......
7: I couldn't say it back then, but I'll say it loud and clear right now!
7: Don't go! You shouldn't follow him!
7: He may have injured Yuki-san's partner just so he could get his hands on Yuki...!
9: That's just a rumor.
7: Ten-nii...!
kj: My, you've said something rather cruel. I had great expectations for Yuki, for Re:vale. I would never enact such a wicked scheme.
kj: I just can't help but think that it's a pity. ......If they had listened to me, then Re:vale could've become perfect, complete....
Yuki: ...Complete? More like convenient.
7: Yuki-san....
kj: Long time no see, Yuki. Has your friend's injury healed?
Yuki: Thanks to you, I haven't seen him ever since that day. Not even once.
kj: Is that so. My condolences.
Yuki: The perfect, complete Re:vale is right here-- the Re:vale Momo and I made together. Don't force your ideals on us.
Momo: Yuki.......
kj: You're one thing, but the boy next to you is second-rate. And you know, if a star is next to something inferior, then their radiance will be dulled.
kj: How frustrating. Yuki, you could've shone even brighter.
Momo: ...I.......
kj: Haha.... I do appreciate your attitude in challenging Zero, though.
kj: You're going to sing one of Zero's songs, right? Zero's legend should've been destroyed much earlier. After all, his era is long over.
kj: However, none of you are going to be creating the new legend to replace Zero. /I will be the one to create it, with these two hands of mine....
1: No.
kj: ....... You are....
1: You don't have a role in this new era, Oji-san.
kj: ...Oji-san.......
aya: 'Oji-san'!? Kujou-san is very good looking! (2)
4: Nii-chan's even better looking! Without a doubt!
1: Kujou-san. You are nothing more than a ghost of the past.
1: The ones who will be making a legend to surpass Zero are--
1: She and I.
kj: ......'She?'
1: Our manager.
tmg: I-Iori-san.......
1: She and I will make IDOLiSH7 into idols that will surpass Zero.

To be continued....


(1) KUJOU ACTUALLY SAYS ORE HERE, instead of 'raw materials' but i couLDNT FIND A NICE WAY 2 INCORPORATE. But yeah cool thought.
(2) oji-san means middle aged man and i guess Kujou takes offense to it somewhat, but aya definitely does.


|||        14-4: Declaration of War         |||
1: Kujou-san. You are nothing more than a ghost of the past.
1: The ones who will be making a legend to surpass Zero are--
1: She and I.
kj: ......'She?'
1: Our manager.
tmg: I-Iori-san.......
1: She and I will make IDOLiSH7 into idols that will surpass Zero.
7: Iori.......
3: W-what is he saying....
2: Saying that we're gonna surpass Zero we're still with TRIGGER and Re:vale....
1: Right? Manager.
tmg: .......
1: Manager!
tmg: ....... Y-yes!
tmg: The ones who'll surpass Zero.... And become a new legend....
tmg: Is my IDOLiSH7!
8: Tsumugi......
Yuki: How passionate.
kj: Haha....... What an interesting girl. ......What is your name?
tmg: I-I'm IDOLiSH7's manager Takanashi Tsumugi, from Takanashi Productions!
kj: I'll remember that.
kj: Ten. Aya. ...Let's go.
aya: Yes, Kujou-san.
4: Aya.... Wait, Kujou!
9: Don't you dare touch those two.
4: Get out of my way! Do you wanna get hit!?
9: That's fine. You're also a professional, so make sure you hit somewhere other than my face.
4: Fuck if I care...!
7: Wait, Tamaki--
*slam!*
8: Stop!
4: Y-you.......
8: He's our center. I won't let you lay a single finger on him, no matter the reason.
9: Gaku....
10: I'm sorry, but pull back for now.... Let's discuss this when you're calm, alright?
4: .......
4: Fuck!
5: Tamaki-kun....
9: .......
kj: Ten. Come here.
9: ......Yes.
kj: IDOLiSH7's managers. We'll see you again.
*slam*
*vroom...*
tmg: .......
/tmg: My heart is still beating really fast....
/tmg: Kujou Takamasa is Zero's manager, the one who trained him.
/tmg: He trained Kujou Ten-san and Kujou Aya-san in order to surpass Zero's legend.
/tmg: And now I've audaciously declared war on this man, with his overwhelming career and ability.
/tmg: I told him that my IDOLiSH7 would be the ones to surpass Zero's legend....
7: Ten-nii.......
/tmg: As I felt a strange throbbing in my chest, Riku-san watched the car drive away, never once taking his eyes off of it....

2: The man who trained Zero.... Zero's manager, Kujou Takamasa, huh.
3: ...He said that Zero was a traitor.......
3: So Zero didn't tell his manager anything either when he disappeared...?
6: If that's the case, that theory about Zero going mad is null.
3: Why?
6: If he truly did get hospitalized, then at the very least, his manager would've known where the hospital was.
3: Ah, I see....... Then Zero really did disappear suddenly.... Zero.......
2: Zero's got crazy fans who don't want anyone to tread upon his territory and vandalize things, and now a manager who wants to surpass him.
2: Haha..... My, my. Zero has it pretty rough, too.
3: But, it's kinda mysterious....... Kujou, who searched for a replacement. And Sakura Haruki, who continued to search for Zero himself.
3: The people besides Zero ended up scattered, going about things their own way....
6: Haruki loved Zero. ...But perhaps Mister Kujou resented Zero.
3: ...Say. If you were in his place, what would you do?
tmg: Huh...?
3: Like, what if we disappeared to somewhere, all of a sudden?
6: Would you search for us? Or you resent us, and search for a replacement?
tmg: I....
tmg: ...I would continue to search. There's no way I could ever entrust our dream to another person. (1)
tmg: But.... I think I'd be really shocked.... If everyone suddenly disappeared.......
tmg: I don't know if I could recover from that......
2: Haha.... It's just a theoretical situation. We're not going anywhere.
tmg: ...Promise me. All I ever do is cause you guys trouble, but I'll give it my all and do my best....
tmg: So please don't abruptly disappear like how Zero did, alright?
*click*
1: Thank you for all of your hard work. I'll be heading back to the dorms first.
tmg: Iori-san, please wait! ...Do you have some time to spare?
1: ....... Alright.

tmg: ...Why did you say something like that? 'Surpassing Zero'....
1: Because I believe we can surpass him with my friends right now.... And because you're here.
tmg: What...?
1: --Don't you think we're a good team?
tmg: Team...? You and I......?
1: We're IDOLiSH7's management team. Neither of us could've created the current IDOLiSH7 alone. Not you, not me.
1: Don't you think we'll be able to surpass him with the two of us? That man.... Zero.......
tmg: Iori-san.......
1: When nyou said.... 'My IDOLiSH7'.... I really liked the way it sounded.
1: I'll become yours, become your weapon-- I can't help but want to make your dream come true. (2)
   I'll become your possession, become your weapon--
   I'll be your possession, your weapon--
1: The dream that Zero, Kujou, and Sakura Haruki couldn't attain.

To be continued....


(1) 'this dream i share with everyone' is clunky. modified so it's concise. the literal would be 'the dream i drew/painted with everyone' but that's not quite a figure of speech in eng ahhH...
(2) 'I want to become ur thing' doesn't carry uh, the right connotation in this context. At all. But yes, in the literal sense Iori wants 2 become an 'object' for tsumugi (hence the 'weapon' clause subsequently after) since he likes the way Tsumugi said "My IDOLiSH7" ....... Me too, iori. me too.
ALSO I GUESS ME HAVING A HEADACHE OVER THE PENULTIMATE LINE IS JUST A RECURRING THING NOW

|||        14-5: Trigger                    |||
4: He tricked Aya! I have to get her back, no matter what.......
5: It seems like he knows my uncle.... What kind of relationship did they have....
Osaka Sougo・Yotsuba Tamaki: .......
4: Looks like we have a common enemy, Sou-chan.
5: Indeed.... Though I don't know if it's okay to call him my enemy since he's Kujou-san's father....
4: It's fine!
5: U-understood.
4: ...Since we have a common enemy, I guess I'll forgive you for now.
5: Huh?
4: And we don't have to disband for now, I guess.
5: Really!?
4: It's 'cuz you insisted.
5: I do insist! I'm glad....... Thank you.
5: I'll be even more careful from now on.... So that we can do things well.
5: I look forward to working with you, once more.
4: .......
4: You've got the same expression as Buddha on your face right now.... I can't believe this is the same person that busted down my door....
*knock knock*
*click*
7: Sougo-san.... Ah, Tamaki. Are you trying to stay over in Sougo-san's room just because you broke your door?
4: Sou-chan's the one that broke it!
7: There you go again.
5: What's wrong, Riku-kun? ......Is it about Kujou-san?
7: Yes.... My call won't go through. Even though we've finally exchanged numbers.... Maybe he hates me.......
4: Don't mind that. Come on, join us. We've all got a common enemy here.
7: Common enemy?
4: That guy Kujou. He's your enemy, right?
7: ...He is! That goes without saying!
5: Riku-kun....... You seldom get angry, and I've never seen you raise your voice like that before....
7: Because.... If it weren't for him, then we'd still be living together.
7: Yuki-san's partner would've never disappeared, and Aya would've went back to Tamaki's place.
7: I do feel bad for him since he must've felt lonely and agonized when Zero disappeared so suddenly, but....
7: His dream of creating Zero, surpassing Zero-- it's done nothing but scatter all of the people around him....
5: Indeed.... That man's dream is certainly rather frightening....
4: It's okay. Don't worry, Rikkun, Sou-chan.
4: I'm gonna kick his ass. So don't worry.
5: 'Kick his ass'.......
7: Ahaha! That's very like you!
4: Why are you laughing!
7: I really like it. That childish, but dependable side of you!
5: Haha.... Indeed. We're counting on you, Tamaki-kun.
4: Heheh.
5: I wonder if TRIGGER and Re:vale are alright.....
5: The reopening ceremony is right around the corner. ......I hope there aren't any aftershocks as a result of that man....

8: Ten. Sit down.
9: No. I'm busy.
8: Like I said, there's something we have to talk about.
9: No.
8: This damn brat....
10: Stop it, Gaku! And don't be like that, Ten. Gaku and I are worried about you.
9: Ryuu....
8: I'm not worried at all.
9: He said he's not worried.
10: Gaku! Be more honest....
8: I just have something to ask him. I don't give a shit about whether or not you want to surpass Zero.
8: What do you think of TRIGGER? What do you think of /us?
8: Are we just business partners? Some group that you're can just quit, whenever you want? (1)
9: ...I believe we've already discussed this.
8: When? Just say it, right now!
10: Gaku! Don't raise your voice.
9: ....... ...I think of you guys...... as my......
10: Ten, could you speak up a bit?
9: .......
9: ......I think of you guys as my friends.
10: Ahaha, I see! I'm happy, Ten. Isn't that good, Gaku?
8: Yeah. That's what I wanted to hear.
9: Gaku.......
8: Regardless of what you're shouldering, we're TRIGGER-- We all share the same fate.
8: If you're gonna be a legend, then we'll be your trigger. We'll protect you.
8: Let's take the whole world and riot! (2)
9: ...What an embarrassing man......

Yuki: Come on. Try saying it.
Momo: La. Lalala. La~
Yuki: You did it. Now, add the melody to it. Get a feel of the rhythm, and try singing it.
Momo: La--
Momo: I-I can't sing it. My voice just won't come out, Yuki.......
Yuki: Don't mind it. Once more.......
Momo: That guy said that I was second-rate. That it's a bad thing if I'm by your side, Yuki.......
Yuki: Forget what Kujou said.
Momo: If it weren't me, then it'd be the perfect, complete Re:vale--
Yuki: Forget that. Right now, just focus on the reopening ceremony.
Momo: Ok....... Ahaha.... What if. What if I can't sing at the reopening ceremony?
Momo: Then maybe the whole venue will think it too.... That if it weren't for me, then Re:vale'd be perfect......
Yuki: ...Momo.......
Momo: ...I wonder why. Even though I'm trying to have fun, I can't....... Even though that's how I've done things all along.......
Momo: If I can't sing....... Then I'm not the real Re:vale anymore.......
Yuki: .......

/tmg: IDOLiSH7, TRIGGER, Re:vale. As they each faced their respective troubles, at long last....
/tmg: The day of the reopening ceremony for the Zero Area arrived.

To be continued....

(1) Roughing up ppls speech is smth i enjoy as someone who is very crude by default, but aNYWAYS the real TL note is that gaku's like "Some group that you're gonna escape from at any time?" But that's not as!! Yaotome "MY MIDDLE NAME IS INTENSE" Gaku. 八乙女迫力。
(2) Gaku is either ridiculously difficult for me to translate or very easy, there's no in between. I am either very satisfied, one-shotting his lines or sitting there staring at what should be a very straightforward line, and squinting a little because I understand it 100% But. How 2 Eigo.................... LET US ENGULF THE WHOLE WORLD AND GO CRAZY/ let's drag the entire world in and go wild/etc. Gak U
TSUMUGI USES 葛藤, which may or may not be a reference to Dis One. bc 飛び込む葛藤/TOBIKOMU KATTOU tho i may be wrong bc i haven't looked at the official lyrics 2 it in a while so plsea dont quotE ME ON THIS Just know that it may be a possibility or me being over eager as usuaL LOL
