Translation under the cut
Main Story, Chapter 2
Takami & Haseyama, Haseyama's office
Haseyama: Oi Takami, look at this.
Takami: ....Excuse me.
Takami: ....
Takami: I see. Are you going to take action regarding this?
Haseyama: I think it is yet too early.... No.
Haseyama: The info, or whatever, Ran managed to catch, it'd be better to get to grips with it.
Haseyama: Will you follow it?
Takami: Yes, if I can use people on it.
Takami: But she will be left vulnerable (if Takami does that). Will it still be okay?
Haseyma: There's that....
Haseyama: How've things been around her recently?
Takami: Hard to tell, but with the waves Ran made, it seems calmer than usual around her.
Haseyama: Hmm... If so, put some people on Ran, then. Find out if he found something out.
Takami: Ran, will be alright, won't he?
Haseyama: Uh? Ah.... Yeah.
Haseyama: Maica... No, for now only Ran will do.
Takami: Well then, I will do as you say.
Haseyama: If we leave Jouchan to Kongou and Kei, I'm sure it will be alright.
Haseyama: At any rate, deal with that brat as soon as possible.
Takami: Understood. I will deal with him.
Takami: Well then, I have a show.
Haseyama: ...Ah, yes, today was Team W's show wasn't it.
Haseyama: Well, get Kokuyou riled up with something juicy and make good money.
Takami: Yes ....understood.

Kongou & Qu, Kitchen
Kongou: Hmmm.....
Qu: Kongou, Kongou?
Kongou: Hm?
Kongou: Uwah, I'm sorry Qu, I didn't notice you.
Qu: It's okay. Did you get a notification of some emergency, or something?
Kongou: Well... no. There just happened to be an article that caught my eye.
Kongou: There's the situation with our team too... I was thinking if I should rely on the knowledge and skills of others in this, or...
Qu: Hmm... I see, it does seem difficult.
Kongou: It's a bit different to our situation, though. This column is aimed towards office workers, after all.
Qu: Do you read these types of sites a lot?
Kongou: When you get to this age, they start appearing on your feed. This time around I just happened to click the link.
Kongou: ...Problem solving is difficult, isn't it. Even more so when you have more people involved.
Kongou: There's a lot of stuff in this world that you just can't help. Things don't always turn out the way you want them to.
Kongou: I'm the type to accept those things quite easily, but it's a different thing to try and force that way of thinking on others....
Qu: That's true. Despair is different for everyone respectively.
Kongou: But, that's what I was worrying over.
Kongou: I'm sorry for being out of it, I'll snap myself back to the present. Does the hall look okay?
Qu: No trouble there. I thought there'd be replenishment ready, so I came to pick them up, that's all.
Kongou: That's a big help. I'll go and check right now, just wait a bit.
Qu: Got it.

Main Story Chapter 2, Side A
Ginsei, you & Kokuyou, backstage
Kokuyou: Oi, Y/N.
You: Ah, Kokuyou-san, what is it?
Kokuyou: Are you going to go home now?
You: That was my intention.... Has something happened?
Kokuyou: Alone?
You: Y-yes.
Kokuyou: Ah, the perfect one just popped up. Oi, Ginsei.
Ginsei: Hm? What is it?
Kokuyou: You've got nothing to do, take her to the station.
Ginsei: The princess? Okay, I guess.
You: I'm sorry for the trouble....
Ginsei: It's okay, I was about to go home myself.
Ginsei: Kokuyou, you're not going to tag along?
Kokuyou: The mightiest Ginsei of all of Starless should well be enough.
Ginsei: Can you stop with that joke already? I don't get why you have to keep doing it.
Kokuyou: Either way, I've got a meeting. I leave her to you.
Ginsei: Ahh, that was it. In that case, I'll see the princess off tonight.
You: Thank you very much.
Kokuyou: Oi, Y/N.
You: Yes.
Kokuyou: .....
You: Kokuyou-san?
Kokuyou: .... Nah, thanks for today. Come see us tomorrow, too.
You: Yes, certainly! Well then, see you tomorrow.
Kokuyou: Yeah.
[Outside]
Ginsei: Princess, did something happen between you and Kokuyou?
You: No, nothing in particular.... When I was about to leave he called out to me, that's all.
Ginsei: Hmmmーmm...
Ginsei: Kokuyou's mellowed out, hasn't he. He used to call you stuff like Kei's woman and treat you harshly, didn't he...
You: No, I wouldn't call it harshness....
Ginsei: He did all that, he did. Well, at any rate, he's good at taking care of others.
Ginsei: Speaking of which, you've not been harassed by anyone recently?
You: Everything is okay. ...But, there's the possibility that I just don't notice if someone follows me around, though.
Ginsei: I see, well, if that's how it is, it's good.
Ginsei: Kei and Gui are here after all, so it could be whoever was after you gave up.
You: It'd be great if that were the case…

Main Story Chapter 2 Side A, Talks
Yakou, Ginsei, Kei, Gui & You, entrance hall
You: Hello, everyone.
Ginsei: Hello, Princess. Please enjoy tonight's show too.
Gui: Y/N. I'll escort you today.
You: Please take care of me, Gui-san.
Gui: Yes.
Yakou: Please enjoy yourself.
[You and Gui leave]
Yakou: ...A mysterious person that one, Y/N-san.
Ginsei: What's this all of a sudden?
Yakou: I don't really know why, to be honest.
Yakou: She's got a backstage pass, but she doesn't behave as if she's part of the staff or someone involved in everything.
Yakou: She's a regular customer, but the distance feels a bit shorter with her. That might be just the thing.
Ginsei: Ah, I see, that's what you mean.
Ginsei: Kei calls her the Goddess of Starless, and I am of the same opinion.
Yakou: Kei is... Well, that's amazing.
Ginsei: It's completely different when the Princess gives you the "That was incredibly good" -applause.
Ginsei: There's the fact that she is a very kind person. But even so she’s/it’s a saving grace.
Ginsei: I'm sure Kei understood that when he invited her to our backstage.
Yakou: To inspire us?
Ginsei: Just so. Kei's the kind of person who never does anything without a reason.
[Kei pops up]
Kei: I am sorry for being late.
Ginsei: Kei.
Kei: Where's she? Already at her seat?
Yakou: Yes, Gui took her to her seat just now.
Kei: Understood, good work.
Yakou: Ohh, yes....
[Kei goes away]
Yakou: Umm, Ginsei.
Yakou: I agree with you on the point that she is special, but what's the deal with Kei?
Yakou: No matter how I look at that.... It doesn't seem to be anything but a much more straightforward thing.
Ginsei: ...Listen, that is also a reason among reasons.

Main Story Chapter 2, Side B
Sinju, Maica, Nekome, Menou & You, Rehearsal hall
Sinju: Thank you for coming, Y/N-chan.
You: Hello, Sinju-san, Maica-san. Have you just finished rehearsing?
Maica: Just a minute ago.
Sinju: Hey, do you have time after this? Would you come to see me practise?
You: Your practice, Sinju-san?
Sinju: I'm going to sing the song for our next show, that's why I'm going to the voice training room to practise it.
Sinju: I wanted to hear your impressions on it. I want to perfect it before our next full team practice.
You: No problem, if someone like me is okay.
Maica: That's all good and well, but now?
Sinju: That's the idea. I checked before that the room is not reserved either.
Maica: Okay, okay, just go.
Maica: But, as for the Hanami clean up, I'm leaving your part untouched.
Sinju: Eh... AH!
Sinju: That's it! I had completely forgotten about it! I'm sorry!
Nekome: I'll do Sinju's part, so you two go and not worry about it.
Sinju: For real!? Nekome, thank you!
Nekome: It's only cramming stuff in the store room, isn't it? Just leave it to me!
Nekome: In exchange, polish off that song to perfection so that Maica won't get any angrier at you.
Sinju: Got it, I promise.
Maica: It's not like I'm angry.
Sinju: Yeah, thank you too, Maica.
Sinju: Well then, Y/N-chan, let's go. Thanks guys.
You: Okay.
Menou: Maica, you're not going to go? You really wanted to sing it, didn't you.
Maica: Can't be helped. Team top decision.
Maica: Besides, I already said that it is okay, so the rest is Sinju's job.
Nekome: Maica's such an adult, which is only to be expected from someone who's the same age as me.
Maica: Stop that, age has nothing to do with it.
Menou: Nekome too... That was pretty normal.
Nekome: Hm? What was?
Menou: Sinju. He wasn't awkward at all?
Nekome: Are~ You noticed? That's rare~
Maica: .....
Nekome: I don't know what happened, but it looks like there might've been a breakthrough on that end.
Menou: Breakthrough.... Ahh, yeah, feels like it.
Menou: That honestness is one of Sinju's good traits.
Menou: It's probably good he lost all that hesitation. Looks like the next show will be okay.
Nekome: Yeah, yeah. That's good.
Maica: Sigh... At any rate, let's go do that cleaning.
Menou: Take care~
Maica: Idiot, how about you help us.

Side B, Talks
Sinju, Takami & Nekome, Backstage
Sinju: Siiighhh~~~~~ I'm beat.
Takami: Hey Sinju. Were you doing vocal rehearsal?
Sinju: Yeah, thanks for your hard work Takami!
Takami: Thank you for your hard work too. So, after Team W there'll be a Team P show up next, won't it.
Sinju: Yeah. I'm the only singer in the next one, I need to do it perfectly.
Takami: That's a serious responsibility. I have good expectations.
Takami: ....By the way, have you been okay after that?
Sinju: After that....?
[flashback, on the streets]
Sinju: ....sigh....
Sinju: Today, I'll go straight home and rest.
Nekome: Thank you for your hard work, Sinju.
Sinju: Eeek...!? Thank, thank you for your hard work, Nekome.....
Nekome: Are you going home? Since we're both here, let's walk together to the station?
Sinju: Umm, I....
Nekome: Yeah, what a coincidence! It's good that I ran into you. Let's walk and talk all the way to the station.
Sinju: .....
Takami: Thank you for your hard work, both of you.
Sinju: Uh.... Oh, Takami?
Takami: What a coincidence indeed. If it is not a bother, can I also tag along until station?
Nekome: It's ANYTHING but a bother! Let's all go together to the station, won't we, Sinju.
Sinju: Y-yeah.
Takami: To run into each other after hours like this, all three of us at that.
Nekome: Well there's lotsa places to eat, and it's not that far from Starless either. These sorta things happen from time to time, don't you think?
Takami: That might be.
Takami: You two don't go eat together or anything like that? I've never really seen the two of you together.
Nekome: As a team we do. But since we've got such an age gap, it makes you hold back a bit, don't it?
Nekome: I would like to be closer buddies with Sinju than we are now, though.
Sinju: ...I-i'm sorry.
Nekome: No, no, it's okay.
Takami: Hmm―mm.
Takami: ....That's true. Sinju might also be holding back a bit too much. (enryo also means stuff like to hesitate and to be reserved but I had a hard time picking a suitable word to use here).
Takami: There might be things that bother you, but Nekome looks to be also thinking about Team P.
Sinju: Ah, uh, yeah.
Takami: And most of all, you're no longer alone. Isn't that so?
Sinju: ....
Nekome: Takami says just the bestest things, don't he.
Nekome: When something happens, it's good to have people around to share the load.
Nekome: Sinju is sociable, so I can rest assured. It's hard trying to bear the burden alone.
Sinju: Yeah... That's true... That's really true.
[end flashback]
Takami: It's been bothering me, if I barged in too much that time.
Sinju: No no, it's okay. Everything's fine.
Sinju: Rather, thank you Takami. I was able to understand that sometimes you get troubled and it can't be helped.
Sinju: I had my hands so full of my own problems, I had no time to feel sorry about the things I was unable to do.
Sinju: That's why, I'm doing my best with the things I can do.
Takami: That's good, very Sinju-like way of thinking. Facing forwards.
Takami: If there's ever anything troubling you, tell me, I will listen and help if I can.
Sinju: If something like that happens, I will! Thank you!
