[Course Events] Mao Isara [Daikagura]
(Vote Mao for next Yumenosaki Student Council President this year.)
The Next Student Council President (1/ 3)
“Oh, Anzu. Happy New Year~ ♪ Were you able to relax during the New Year’s holiday? I was able to take it easy for once~ I went shopping and stuff with my little sis.”
A. (1) “You two sure get along.”
“Yeah, unlike usual. But haven’t you always been close with your brother~? Hmm, lately, not so much? I think I know why. He’s probably going through a rebellious stage, and he’s too embarrassed to hang around with his big sister all the time.”
A. (2) “You two sure get along.”
“Hmm, I wouldn’t really say we’re that close? She’ll just put stuff from my room into storage without asking me, and things like that. That just means she wants me to pay attention to her? I would hope that’s the case~”
B. (1) “I worked as a shrine maiden for a part-time job.”
“Hold on, that’s not relaxing at all?! Can’t believe you worked a part-time job even during the holiday…. Well, it’s fine as long as you were happy with it, though.”
B. (2) “I worked as a shrine maiden for a part-time job.”
“You…. You worked even over the holiday? Now that you mention it, Subaru did say something about running into you during his hatsumoude~ I know I’m not one to talk, but you’re seriously overworking yourself, y’know?”
Translation Notes:
*”Hatsumoude” is the first shrine visit of the New Year, and is a big event in Japan.
The Next Student Council President (2/ 3)
“Ugh…. The next Student Council President, huh…. Oh, the vice-president told me, “You’re going to be the next Student Council President. I’m not that interested, so I was just wondering if I’m really fit for the job.”
A. (1) “That just shows how much they expect of you.”
“Hm~ I guess so. If that’s true, of course I’d want to live up to their expectations. It’d be tough if I ended up having to disappoint them instead. Alright, I guess I’ll give it a shot~ ♪”
A. (2) “That just shows how much they expect of you.”
“Not you, too~ I’m glad they have expectations, but it’s a lot of pressure, too. To be honest, it’s pretty hard being told to become like the president.”
B. (1) “I think you’re qualified, too.”
“Huh? You sure about that~? I like taking care of things here and there, but it’s different if I have to be the leader. But, I guess, if ‘Trickstar’.... If you’re here to support me, then I guess it’ll work out somehow ♪”
B. (2) “I think you’re qualified, too.”
“Qualified, huh? The president said that too, but it’s because there’s no one else. Himemiya’s still too young to leave all this to, after all…. He might collapse if he takes on too much, so I’ll have to hold his place until he’s ready.”
The Next Student Council President (3/ 3)
“Phew, that was nerve wracking! I was fine with giving the speech at the schoolwide rally all, but I didn’t really know what I was doing halfway through. Everyone told me I was great, but was it really….?”
A. (1) “I’m with everyone else.”
“So you mean you thought I was great, too? Their opinions are important too, but after all, you’re a ‘producer.’ It’s reassuring to have a ‘producer’ give her seal of approval ♪”
A. (2) “I’m with everyone else.”
“You’re not just saying that as flattery, are you….? Ah, sorry. It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s just that I’m still embarrassed about giving a fancy speech like that.”
B. (1) “You were really cool.”
“Ahaha, thank you~ ♪ Hearing that I was really cool is the biggest compliment. Looks like it paid off to go with the flow and just talk~ ♪”
B. (2) “You were really cool.”
“Coming from you, I guess that means it was passable. I didn’t stumble on my words or anything, after all. I’ll aim for a perfect score next time ♪”
When It’s New Years…. (1/ 3)
“When it comes to New Years, it’s all about osechi dishes, huh~? I had o-zouni, too. For the time being, I don’t think I want to look at anything with mochi in it. Anzu, you feel the same way? Then, how about we start going a diet together~? ♪”
A. (1) “You don’t look like you need to go on a diet….”
“Eh? But I’m not like Hokuto. Ah, it’s because it’s hard for Hokuto to put on any weight. It makes me jealous how he doesn’t get fat no matter how much he eats ♪”
A. (2) “You don’t look like you need to go on a diet….”
“It doesn’t look like I gained any weight at a glance, right? But, all the extravagant dishes I ate throughout New Years had their effect. I seriously need to diet~”
B. (1) “So, a carb-free diet, right?”
“What’s that, Anzu? You want to start today? Apparently a carb-free diet is perfect for losing weight quickly. I guess I’ll do my best to lose a few pounds~ ♪”
B. (2) “So, a carb-free diet, right?”
“Oh, that. I’ve heard about that one a lot. But I also heard that if you don’t eat carbs, you get tired more easily. I think I’d want to have a healthy diet if I had the choice.”
When It’s New Years…. (2/ 3)
“Woah! Anzu, what’s wrong?! Eh? You were suddenly attacked by a monkey? Ah, you probably mean the monkey we’re using to do the ‘monkey dance’ for the ‘party trick.’”
A.(1) “I was really surprised.”
“I know, I know. Makoto was really surprised, too. It attacked the vice-president too, so it turned into a commotion, huh? Even though we’re just about to start, that kind of broke our focus ♪”
A. (2) “I was really surprised.”
“Eh? So you just started running around? Maybe Hibiki-senpai made it chase after you for fun. That might’ve been his way of trying to get you to relax, you know?”
B. (1) “So, you’re putting on a ‘monkey dance’ performance?”
“It’d take too much time to teach a monkey how to do tricks from scratch. So we asked Hokuto to find us a monkey that already knows how to entertain. Thanks to that, I think we’ll manage now~ ♪”
B. (2) “So, you’re putting on a ‘monkey dance’ performance?”
“According to Subaru, it’s because with Ukki~ and Sari~, we have the Monkey Duo. And even Himemiya calls me ‘Saru.’ And with Makoto being nicknamed ‘Ukki~’ because of the sound they make, we’re totally being treated like monkeys.”
Translation Notes:
*The word for ’monkey’ in Japanese is ‘saru,’ which is why Himemiya calls him that as a play on his last name, ‘Isara.’
When It’s New Years…. (3/ 3)
“Oh, there you are. Anzu, good work today~ ♪ You must be tired after having to be around the president and other important people. Despite that, thanks for watching us without moving away ♪”
A. (1) “It’s because I had the best view from there.”
“....I see. So you watched us from the best seats, huh? I noticed right away how kindly you were watching over us. Thanks, Anzu. And also, we’ll be counting on you from on, as well, ‘producer’ ♪”
A. (2) “It’s because I had the best view from there.”
“You were in the VIP seats, after all. They look really comfortable. Do I want to try sitting in them….? No way! The president would yell at me for that! And even if he doesn’t, I’d attract attention from all those important people, right~?”
B. (1) “I didn’t have a chance to move away….”
“Ah, right. The president had you trapped, huh? It’s be impossible to try and sneak away with the president so close. Seriously, good job sitting through all that, Anzu.”
B. (2) “I didn’t have a chance to move away….”
“A bunch of important people on the right, and the Student Council President to your left, huh? From where I was on the stage, I could see that you looked uncomfortable. But I’m really thankful that you were watching over us even with those conditions ♪”
