Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Part 5
Tsumugi: Iori-san-san, good afternoon. This time, with「Ichiban Kuji」, IDOLISH7′s products will once again be released for sale soon ...! Iori: Good afternoon , manager. This has became a topic again, it would seem. Please speak with us regarding the schedule of the information release tomorrow. Tsumugi: I will! This has became something amazing! Also, the 「Ichiban Kuji award」will be held at this time as well. Iori: Aa, it’s where the collaborators with「Ichiban Kuji」will be competing with performances, isn’t it? What kind of competition will we be facing? Tsumugi: That is, we will be competing against TRIGGER. Iori: I see. Iori: TRIGGER, was it... Tsumugi: Yes... IDOLISH7 and TRIGGER will compete in a live performance at the stage specially prepared for the 「Ichiban Kuji award」 . Tsumugi: Those who watch the lives would vote and the winner will be determined by the number of votes. Iori: While I believe that victory may not be possible, I do not wish to become too fixated towards TRIGGER’s votes and its differences from ours. Tsumugi: I feel that way too. I think that the current IDOLISH7′s momentum will not lose to TRIGGER’s! In here, I would also like for IDOLISH7 to create a perfect performance to gain more recognition. Iori: So you understand too, don’t you? In order not to lose against TRIGGER, we have to put in our best efforts. Iori: On the contrary, this is a chance to be in a competitive performance with TRIGGER. Tsumugi: I feel reassured after listening to you, Iori-san! I will offer suggestions on ideas such as promotions on my end as well. I’m very sorry to have been borrowing your help but I am very grateful towards your favors...! Iori: I do not particularly mind. There is also the subject of Nanase-san’s physical condition so if it’s possible, let’s avoid him from having to move around too much. Iori: As for our fans, I feel that it might be good to show them some of our conversations. We can create a window for 「Ichiban Kuji」 and publicize the exchanges in our rabbit chats. Iori: By this, we might be able to lessen Nanase-san’s burden then. Tsumugi: Amazing! As expected of the siblings! Iori: What do you mean by that? Tsumugi: Mitsuki-san was also talking about using our group chats and publicizing them! Iori: Is that so? Since it’s my brother, you should be expecting him to come up with the best way. It’s only natural. Tsumugi: Iori-san is really kind! Iori: That’s nonsense! Iori: (Grr) (Grr) (Grr) Iori:
Tsumugi:
Tsumugi: If you have anything else you wish to do regarding the promotion, please give everyone a call!
Translator’s notes
I can never not be amused whenever I translate Iori’s cards. His tsundereness always finds a way to make me smile. As expected of the perfect tsundere! Let me just silently cry over how much Iori admires and look up to his brother. Even if the both of them came up with the same idea without knowing, Iori will always say that Mitsuki’s idea is the best --!! Which also makes Mitsuki’s plight over his insecurities regarding his position as a big brother even more painful because that’s the complete opposite of how Iori feels!! He’s your number one fan and he’ll fight anyone for the spot! Now let me close my eyes and imagine Iori flipping his hair in a haughty way while boasting about his big brother. Okay so I’m a bit stuck on a spot in this translation. In the last line, Tsumugi asked Iori to approach 眥さん but I searched high and low for the meaning but couldn’t find it. Any help will be appreciated! Edit: I saw the wrong kanji in the chat. It was supposed to be 皆 and not 眥. Thanks @yotsutama!!
