Higan:”Hey, if it isn’t the angel Licht-kun. Being sorted into a team like this somehow fires me up.”
Licht:”Shut up, demon. This time, I’ll purify you.”
With Tsubaki
Higan:”Tsubaki~ I did the washing again with my cell phone in my pocket... Sham will get mad at me, could you maybe come up with an excuse...?”
Tsubaki:”Ehhh~, Higan, again?! Even with my vocabulary, there’s a limit to how many excuses why your phone broke I can make...!” *
With Sakuya
Higan:”Oh, Sakuya. Don’t you want to go eat with this old man occasionally?”
Sakuya:”Ah, no thanks. I got plans.”
Higan:”S-So cold... This old man’s hurt...”
With Belkia
Higan:”Ah, Belki--”
Belkia:”Gehhhh~~~ It’s Higan! You smell more and more like old man, you know?!”
Higan:”I wonder if all the children here are going through puberty... They’re pretty strong at hitting this old man, though...”
With Otogiri
Higan:”Otogiri, do you know where my lighter is? I’d like to smoke, but...”
Otogiri:”I don’t, but if you want to smoke, please smoke outside. The smell clings everywhere.”
Higan:”Ehh~... It’s a bit cold outside today... You’re making this old man feel bad...” *
With Shamrock
Shamrock:”Hey, Higan!!! Don’t leave the empty box with your cigarette butts lying around!!! What if the young master mistook it for something and drank from it!!!”
Higan:”Eh? Oh my~ Sorry, sorry. I’ll be careful next time~ ... But, even Tsubaki wouldn’t be that stupid...”
Shamrock:”No matter how often you said it, you still haven’t fixed it!!! Quit smoking, now!!! Our hideout is now a complete no smoking zone!!!!”
Higan:”Ah, huh~ If you put up large posters like that... Could you at least split it into smoking and non-smoking areas...”
With Shuuhei
Higan:”Hello, uhmm... Shuuhei Tsuyuki-kun? You look a lot like your fathe~.”
With Tsurugi
Higan:”... Hey, didn’t we meet somewhere, long ago? I feel like I recognize you from somewhere.”
Tsurugi:”... Haha, I wonder~? Maybe so, we might have met.”
Full Melancholy Team
Higan:”Oh my, four of us have gathered. Should we play some mahjong?”
---------------
T/N: So, in the Tsubaki & Higan dialog, Higan literally asks Tsubaki to “cheat well” or “gloss over” it, but that seems to mean “Tell Sham some good reason that’s not ‘I washed it’“ lmao. And Tsubaki’s answer is literally “there’s a limit to the amount of variations of an excuse for why the phone broke”, but that felt a bit redundant lmao. Also, Higan, pls. Check your pockets. I’ve washed money before, I think once or twice a DS cartridge, but...
Otogiri technically just says “The smell stays” or “the smell clings”, but while that sounded fine in Japanese, I felt like it was missing something in English. Higan’s last line in that dialog is literally just “Uncle feels inferior”, but I figured it’s because Otogiri sends him out when it’s cold (I’m on her side).
Also, he still uses “old man”/”uncle” for “I” a few times more often than I translated bc it sounded weird to me to let him say it Every. Single. Time.
I just realized I haven’t posted these yet--- //cough/ but anywho---

Shamrock is such a mom friend..... Momrock........
With Tsubaki
Shamrock:”Young master. I’m terribly thankful to lead a team that includes the young master, but... I shall serve you with all my strength.”
Tsubaki:”Ehh~ So stiff~ We’re playing today, so let’s do this with light hearts. Okay, Sham?”
With Sakuya
Shamrock:”Hey, Sakuya Watanuki. I brushed your plushie for you.”
Sakuya:”Huh... Tsubaki-sa... Well, it’s not Tsubaki-san, but the fox that looks like Tsubaki-san... Its fur is so glossy... It looks even more like him, doesn’t it...?”
With Belkia
Shamrock:”... Belkia! Pay attention. You always get distracted near the end.” *
Belkia:”Huuuuuh~~~???!!! ★☆★ Who are you talking tooo?!!!!”
With Otogiri
Shamrock:”... Lady Otogiri. I’d like to learn how to make soba today...”
Otogiri:”... All right. First is running and weight training. If your muscles are not trained to perfection, you will never make perfect soba.”
With Higan
Shamrock:”... Higan. Well... I... ... ...”
Higan:”Yeah, don’t overdo it. Might be good if you stayed over there.”
With Shuuhei
Shamrock:”... Shuuhei. You look pale, did you have breakfast before coming here? Even if you don’t have time to eat properly, you should have something, no matter what, like soup. We’d be in trouble if you don’t stay healthy.”
Shuuheit:”Wh... What?! The reason you’re saying things like that...! Please stop acting like my parent!”
With Toma
Toma:”............”
Shamrock: (He got huge, didn’t he...? No, he’s always been big, I guess...)
With Yoshimasa
Shamrock:”.......... ... I didn’t think the day would come when I would meet you like this... What should I say...”
Yoshimasa:”Yeah, for real! Maybe this magical-seeming day is April Fool’s! Haha!”
With Shuuhei & Yoshimasa
Shamrock:”......... This... Feels weird...”
Yoshimasa:”Ohhhh, I dreamed about talking, the three of us together like this! Today is a great day, isn’t it?”
Shuuhei:”W-Well, how should I put this... It’s... I have mixed feelings...” *
Full Melancholy Team
Shamrock:”Four people have gathered, haven’t they? At this point, it would be normal for Team Melancholy to start a game of Mahjongg...”
----------------------
TN: The words Sham uses with Bel are “tsume ga amai”, tsume meaning (among other things) the last few moves when playing Shogi, though it’s apparently used for losing focus etc near the end of stuff in general.
And the word Shuuhei uses, which I put as “mixed feelings”, also means complicated, so his line could’ve also been translated as “It’s complicated”. Love how Sham and Shuuhei are like “Wtf is going on??” while Yoshimasa is just vibing.
Also, with most of Team Melancholy, Shamrock uses “kisama”, which is like, SUPER rude in current day Japanese (hence why, when Misono uses it, it’s often translated as Bastard). Tsubaki is, of course, Young Master, but I love how polite he is with Otogiri. That’s a gentleman right there lmao. Also, what I’m gathering from their dialogue is that Otogiri is ripped af so she can make her own soba.
Wow I often forget how great Yoshimasa is bc like... He did not get much focus... But then I look at this and. I love him lmao. I want him back, idk how that’d work, but he’s fun.
