Nozomi: —Two coffees. And make one of them the largest size please.
Nozomi: (Juis said he was thirsty, so I decided to come downstairs to the cafe. But it’s far too crowded here.)
Nozomi: (I’ll just get the drinks quickly and then go back to my room.)
Nozomi: ......
Nozomi: Why is a peasant like you here?
Nozomi: ……Please pay for your items yourself. There is no reason why I should do so.
2. Is it time for your tea break?
Nozomi: ……Peasant. Today is my day off – a day where you have no involvement in my activities – so I think there’s no reason at all for me to share any of my plans with you.
Nozomi: Coffee tastes much better with a small cake on the side, and you think I should buy some……?
Nozomi: I have no need for any of your talk. Please refrain from giving me directions.
Nozomi: –Um. Why did you pay for the entire bill?
Nozomi: The cheapskate Newbie [1] might appreciate something like this, but a gesture of this sort makes me feel nothing.
Nozomi: Surely you don’t plan on taking all the credit for buying Juis a drink……?
Nozomi: ……I still don’t believe you, even after you denied it.
Nozomi: First of all, do you always pay for all the dining expenses of the idols you happen to come across by chance?
Nozomi: Today, I’ll accept your actions as a tribute to me…… but from now on, gestures like this are useless.
2. That wasn’t my intention at all.
Nozomi: Is it free of charge because of that coupon you’re holding?
Nozomi: Are you serious? The Newbie should receive items like that. He’s always struggling because of a lack of money anyway.
Nozomi: Even so, just because you produce Mellow Dear Us doesn’t mean I have any intention to be won over as easily as other ES idols.
Nozomi: Well. The drinks have been prepared, so I will return to my room.
Nozomi: Pardon? Even if we are going back the same way, I did not invite you to come along with me.
Nozomi: Don’t you have somewhere to kill some time before you head back?
1. To tell you the truth……
Nozomi: Chitose invited you to come have tea with the rest of Mellow Dear Us……?
Nozomi: I didn’t hear anything about this. Did he purposely try to stop this invite from reaching my ears?
Nozomi: No, Chitose isn’t smart enough to do something like that. There’s no point in making more of a commotion over this, let’s just be on our way.
2. I need to stop by another store before I leave.
Nozomi: Yes, that sounds good……♪
Nozomi: –Wait a second please. Did you just say something about having tea later?
Nozomi: The other members have already gathered? What are they even thinking?
Nozomi: This point in the song isn’t really coming together.
Nozomi: Should I add in a personal touch or some sort of harmony……?
1. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Nozomi: Oh, did you just come in? My job before this ended earlier than usual, so I decided to start training.
Nozomi: It’s a new song, but I’ve been thinking of adding a little personal touch to it.
Nozomi: Yes. Even if we don’t consult Nice first, it shouldn’t be a problem to make this change.
2. That’s some skillful singing.
Nozomi: Flattery again? I told you to stop saying those sorts of things.
Nozomi: Those words are your true feelings? If they came from the Dears, maybe I would appreciate them, but from you I feel absolutely no gratitude.
Nozomi: Come on, let’s just continue with what we were doing.
Nozomi: By the way, I thought that this lesson time was intended to be for myself and the Newbie.
Nozomi: Well, if too much time passes and he has no plans to show up, then I suppose I’ll turn this time into my own private lesson.
Nozomi: ……The last shoot is behind schedule? If that’s the case, then it can’t be helped.
Nozomi: You thought I would lose my temper? Hmph, I’m not that narrow-minded of a person.
Nozomi: When I worked abroad, people were more careless about the time than in Japan. That’s why I am used to this.
Nozomi: As long as I obey my own rules, there isn’t a problem.
2. Would you like to see the outfit design?
Nozomi: I don’t particularly care what the outfit looks like, but no matter, let’s see it.
Nozomi: Glasses? All of the members are going to be wearing this……
Nozomi: While it’s a flashy outfit, it’s something that would look suitable on Juis. The glasses will definitely accentuate his facial features.
Nozomi: ……It’s late. A little bit ago I planned on waiting, but I’m going home now.
Nozomi: There’s nothing more for me to practice on my own. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to leave, right?
Nozomi: Have the staff contact the Newbie. That is all.
Nozomi: It’s poor behavior for the Newbie not to contact us at all. He thinks that everything will be alright if he just deals with the things in front of him at the current moment.
Nozomi: You should also pay a bit more mind to managing the schedules.
Nozomi: Especially since Juis’s schedule has been freeing up more, which he tends to not prefer. Please keep that in mind.
2. You live in the same room, right?
Nozomi: Of course, why?
Nozomi: Why do you want me to be the one to suggest a new schedule?
Nozomi: That’s a difficult job, no? I’m leaving it to you then.
[1] – Nozomi refers to Mashu as “Newbie” (「新入り」 in Japanese).
