I’m sorry it took me 67 million years to translate this, I’ve been extra busy ( I mean there was a bus strike that messed up my whole month and all xD) and Sin is just such a difficult guy to do I lost hope many times :’’’) But I’m here now

Translation under the cut!
1st chapter
Sin, Haseyama and you, backstage
Haseyama: Ah, Oh, it's you.
Sin: ...
Haseyama: As gloomy as ever. Are the customers into that?
Haseyama: Well, whatever, that was a good bit of help you gave back there~
Haseyama: But, why did you accept the ranking vote? Do you want to kick them down to your level?
Sin: A devil finds sustenance in the darkness, darkness finds light in the abyss.
Haseyama: Huh?
Sin: Even a starved vulture is unlikely to attack the one sent forth to the gallows.
Haseyama: Your way of speaking is truly... something.
Haseyama: Is it that? Are you vying for the top spot too?
Sin: Who knows. In the deep dark forest even one's own footsteps become the possession of the darkness around.
Haseyama: ....I don't understand a thing.
Haseyama: Ah, hm.... that's true. I am grateful to you, after all
Haseyama: It's up to you but, how about I give you a little advantage in the coming ranking vote?
Sin: ...Unnecessary. As you stand now, it looks unlikely you have any power to affect who wins or loses.
Haseyama: Oi! Why do you start speaking understandably when you're saying shit like that? Speak normal from the start!
Haseyama: Good grief... Well, whatever. Thanks to you it looks like I'll be making a good profit.
Haseyama: Even when we're saying it's a ranking vote, you can't end up as an understudy, but finishing below Taiga wouldn't be a good look.
Haseyama: You too will go about buttering up the customers in order to finish in the higher spots, won't you (he literally says to sell flirtation, which is an idiomatic expression but it sounds way iffier than just butter xD)
Haseyama: And especially for that, you'd be better off dropping that weird way of speaking, I think.
Sin: Will you light a fire to search for stars?
Sin: It is futile to extend your hand, with the extent of a thread held in your hand, you can explore the labyrinth.
Haseyama: Agh―, I get it, I get it! I don't get it but I get it okay!
Haseyama: At the very least, you're not in the mood to speak with me.
Haseyama: To keep your head above the water, do your best at least. With that weird performance art!
Sin: You do not need to tell me that.

2nd Chapter
Sin & Takami, a coffee shop
Takami: Would it be okay to share the table? (He asks in a tone that you’d use with a complete stranger)
Sin: Sure.
Takami: Thank you very much.
Takami: Sin, why did you accept the owner's proposition?
Sin: With the too quick arrival of winter, one can sense god of death dancing in the wind with the mere sound of it (is my approximation of this line)
Takami: Please, don't tease me.
Sin: Everything flows, water, and time.
Sin: If it stops, it muddles, putrefies. That's something you can say of a place where light cannot reach.
Takami: There needs to be a change in Starless, is that it?
Takami: I thought your goal was to instigate Akira and Taiga.
Sin: It is not as if every crime has a name.
Sin: Even the ferryman of hell will go against their fate and allow a living person on their boat.
Sin: And the wings of wax will be attracted to the sun.
Takami: This is pretty rare. For you to rely on instincts when making a decision.
Sin: The wings of wax were burnt by the sun, but the bird who got its freedom became the sea.
Sin: Besides ... It's necessary for her to enjoy Team W's hospitality. More so than the ordeal of Team K.
Takami:...I see. Without bringing her to the conversation, you cannot achieve satisfaction (though, I'm not sure whose...)
Sin: Yet again, this does not amount to even a small chance.
Sin: You too enjoy yourself. This is not the chain that prohibits/punishes one's own mask, but a vessel with which one's soul may be as it is, as human (OKAY, this was a lot and there was a few infuriatingly multimeaning words here that I couldn't really decide the right meaning of in this context....)
Takami: That's right.
Takami: It's a special occasion. I will relax and enjoy the festivities.

3rd Chapter
Sin & You, the office
You: Hello, Sin-san. I heard you have some business with me...
Sin: There's no need to be nervous. Well then, please, have a seat over there.
You: O-okay. Oh, this is--
You: There's a lot of tins for candies and black tea. They're all cute, and also look delicious.
Sin: They are all samples I ordered for this event. I called you here so we could taste them together.
You: Eh... Is it okay for me to eat these too?
Sin: The mistletoe awaits the bird. It is the law of nature.
You: oh, umm...?
Sin: I prepared these for us to sample them, is what I said.
Sin: There's no need to hesitate (and hold back). I shall make us tea befitting the tea cake you choose.
You: If it so, then I shall accept this with gratitude. There's so many it is difficult to choose, though.
Sin: If you're choosing the scones, then I recommend putting on some jam. The tea that suits it best is this one
[Time passes]
You: They are all so incredibly delicious....!
You: When you combine them with the black teas, the impression (of the taste) changes, and it is fun to hear your recommendations Sin-san.
Sin: Hm. If you are enjoying this/these, then it is good news (he doesn't clearly state what the thing you are enjoying here is, the time spent with him, or the tea and cakes ;>)
You: ....Um, these cakes, they are the ones that are to be used in the ranking vote, aren't they.
You: Is there a reason why you wanted to lead the ranking vote preparations?
Sin: Fu... For a cake served with tea, that is a wearisome subject.
You: Augh, I'm sorry. I was just curious about it....
Sin: There's no need to apologise.
Sin: The reason I decided to shoulder the arranging of the vote, was naught but a whim. There is no grandiose reason behind it.
You: On a whim, you say?
Sin: Yes. But, if you stretch the meaning of it, it becomes like this.
Sin: Change is not something that will visit those who only wait. There needs to be something which chases the current you out (of your comfort zone I'd say).
Sin: In a place without change, there's no development. The opposite of development is not stagnation, but degeneration.
You: Will the ranking vote turn into that change?
Sin: In a way. To choose to not open that box will also become the denial of the future.
You: So, Sin-san is, for the sake of Team W....
Sin: To decide so can be said to be overhasty.
Sin: With motives, nothing is black and white. Everything is impure.
Sin: The benefits I reap are in this very room. Grand motivations can be ascribed to me afterwards.
You: Hmmm...? In other words....?
Sin: You too are again thinking too complicatedly on this. Just delight in the change, and enjoy yourself.
Sin: Instead of having similar days follow one another, life is much more interesting (and fun) when different kinds of tomorrows come your way.

4th Chapter
Kokuyou, Sin, You, Akira, Taiga & Takami, the Stage
Akira: Yeahh~ Today my singing is just top notch, ain't it~ (he was just so cute I had to include a screenshot xD)
Akira: Kokuyou, I'm sorry if you lose.
Taiga: Full of life, aincha Akira―. You have plenty fightin' spirit, doncha?
Taiga: Welll―, this time around I'm also aiming to surpass the fifth place, gonna graduate from being the runt―.
Takami: Both of you, Akira and Taiga , are just brimming with vigour, aren't you. The ranking vote turned out to be a really good spark to ignite you two.
Kokuyou: Oi, you all, it's good to be energetic, but if you're angling to stand out, be sure not to blunder onstage.
Sin: This show is indeed befitting of a banquet of devils.
[time skip to the front of Starless]
Sin: You came, Y/N.
You: Ah, Sin-san! Thank you for your hard work today.
You: Today's show was just so impressive! I was on the edge of my seat.
Sin: If we were able to entertain you, then we achieved the most important thing.
Sin: It is getting late. Let me see you off to the station.
Kokuyou: Hey you two.
You: Kokuyou-san.
Kokuyou: I'll come with you, I have some business with Sin.
You: Should I leave you two alone, then?
Kokuyou: Don't worry. It's not something I can't say in front of you. Just be a good girl and let us escort you.
[on the street]
Kokuyou: You got to have your fun this time around. Did you achieve what you set out to do?
Sin: It depends on if you see any other value in feeding a fire with wood, and protecting it, apart from the flame itself.
Kokuyou: ....Somehow, I get what you're trying to say, but don't let Haseyama get carried away.
Sin: Team W is not something that will sway with waves of that level.
Kokuyou: That's true, but is that the problem?
Sin: Y/N, did you enjoy the arrangements for this White Day?
You: Yes, a whole lot!
You: It was good seeing the cast members surrounded by sweets and seeing conversations extend from them.
Sin: Fu, it means it was worth it to accept Haseyama's proposal after all.
Kokuyou: I wonder. That girl will say she had fun whether or not we have a ranking vote or not (Think you're onto something here Koku xD).
Sin: It might be so. But it is also true that she obtained amusements set apart from the usual.
Sin: Besides, what we did this time also became good stimulation for Akira and Taiga.
Kokuyou: Well, yeah.
Sin: You who are used to fighting probably already know this, but it is necessary to occasionally show your throat to the enemy.
Sin: Display your strength and carve it in(to your foes, I guess). Doing so you have survived this far.
Kokuyou: I get it. I lost this time.
Kokuyou: This was good for the cast. And if it at the same time satisfies the customers, anything goes.
Kokuyou: Oi, Y/N.
You: Yes?
Kokuyou: This is the festival of Team W. Enjoy it to the fullest all the way to the end.
You: Yes, I will!
Sin: ....Kokuyou.
Kokuyou: What is it?
Sin: It is good for you too to make sure. Of your shadow, cast by the shining light.
