Amusement Live - Chapter 7

Location: Dance Room

Mitsuru: Nii~chan, which one do you want? Egg sandwich or tuna salad? There’s also a sandwich with some greenish stuff in it~♪

Nazuna: What do you mean, “greenish”... Now I’m curious, I’ll have that one.

Munch munch… Ah, it’s avocado. There’s also cheese and ham on it, it’s delicious~♪

Hajime: Ehehe, eating lunch with everyone huddled together like this feels like a picnic. The weather is good today, so I kind of feel like going outside ♪

Yuuta: Chomp chomp..♪

Hinata: Monch monch...♪

Tomoya: Hinata and Yuuta are eating so vigorously… If we’re not careful, they’ll eat our portions too.

Hinata: Munch munch, it’s so yummy~! Anzu-san, have you gotten better at cooking? These taste better than last time you made sandwiches for us.

I see~, it’s because you made them a bunch of times since then. Yeah, my sandwiches don’t compare to yours anymore~.

Your cooking is so good I’d almost like to have you as my wife ♪

Yuuta: Aniki, you’re embarrassing Anzu-san~? Munch munch, gulp.

Thanks for the meal~♪

Hinata: Now that we’ve filled our bellies, wanna continue the lesson? Let’s have a dance battle between me and Yuuta-kun next.

Yuuta: I don’t mind that. In that case, how about the loser has to cook dinner tonight?

Hinata: Got it~. That’s how it is, Nito-senpai, so we’re going to go continue our lesson.

Nazuna: Ah, yeah. We rested enough, so let’s get back to it too.

Wataru: Amazing! Please greet me with applause! I’m your Hibiki Wataru….☆

Nazuna: Unyah!? Awawah!?

Nnh, you surprised me so much I stuttered… Wataru-chin, where on earth did you appear from just now? The entrance is on the other side, you know?

Wataru: I was flying around in my blimp in the area and saw you guys practicing~. It looked fun, so I barged in through the window ☆

Tomoya: …………

Wataru: Oho? Tomoya-kun, why are you averting your gaze? Please look at me more! Come on now~, I’m being reflected in your eyes~...♪

Tomoya: S-stop it! I was doing my best to pretend we’re strangers~!

Rather, if you don’t have any business here, get lost. We’re busy practicing for the “Live Party”, so I don’t have the time to give you attention, got it?

Wataru: You sure say some saddening things sometimes. Oh well, I know that this is just Tomoya-kun’s way of making a pass at me in any way he can. 

Just kidding~, it’s not like I have free time either. I’ll leave once I’m done with my business here.

Tomoya: Huh…? Eh, Anzu-san? Did you call this guy here?

Nazuna: Hmmm. So Wataru-chin told you you can ask him for advice on direction, huh.

I see, so you called Wataru-chin here because it seemed like Yuuta-chin was having trouble with the direction aspect. Yeah. I’ll ask you too, please give him advice.

Wataru: Fufufu. Little Brother-kun of the twins, is it~. Hello, let’s shake hands ♪

Yuuta: Ah, yes. I may be the younger one, but I’d rather you didn’t call me “Little Brother-kun”. Please call me Yuuta instead~?

Umm, Hibiki-senpai. 2wink usually uses us being twins as its selling point…

But this time, I’d like to show off a different kind of performance.

That said, I can’t come up with any good ideas… May I ask for your opinion on the matter, Hibiki-senpai?

Wataru: Hmm, it seems like a waste not to capitalize on you being twins~. The “It’s A Waste Ghosts”* will show up, you know.

Mitsuru: Eh, I didn’t leave any leftovers, but the ghosts are still gonna show up!?

Yuuta: P-please don’t talk about ghosts…

Waste or not, I want to do this as if we aren’t twins. I’d hate to always remain a “package deal” with Aniki…

Wataru: If that’s what you think, I doubt I’ll be able to change your mind.

Very well. Instead of twins, become triplets then.

Yuuta: ...Huh? Triplets?

Wataru: Come, my lovely triplets. Please show me love and wonder…☆

-------------------------

*Leo already brought these up in The King’s Horseback Ride before, but for those who don’t remember, the “It’s A Waste Ghosts” are characters from an old series of service announcements to teach people not to waste food. Here is one of them.
They were translated as “It’s A Waste Monsters” before, but the word can also mean ghosts, and in fact the video shows them as the “ghosts of the food you wasted”. On top of that, Yuuta reacts to that word specifically due to his fear of ghosts, so I chose to go with that.

Amusement Live - Chapter 8

Location: Dance Room

Tomoya: Back up, I have no idea what you’re talking about!?

Buchou, don’t just agree with yourself and explain it to us in depth instead, will you~?

Wataru: I wish you’d understand what I’m thinking without having to put it into words~. This is proof that you don’t love me enough yet.

Oh well. For now… You and you, go over there. And you, stand here. How about it now?

Look, you became triplet-chans~☆

Nazuna: Hinata-chin and Hajime-chin and Tomo-chin. And over here, Yuuta-chin and me and Mitsuru-chin…

I see, so that’s what you mean by triplets. Hmmm. So you separated Yuuta-chin and Hinata-chin on purpose.

Wataru: What do you think? Of having a dance battle between these teams during the live, that is.

Ra*bits and 2wink are both almost entirely made up of first years, so there shouldn’t be much of a difference in experience, right?

Nazuna: That’s true. It’ll make for a good test of our abilities, so I’m all for it.

Hajime: Eh, we have to fight between friends? Uu~, that makes me kind of sad…

Nazuna: Don’t cry~, Hajime-chin. It may be a dance battle, but that doesn’t mean it has to be savage, okay?

We’ll do it like in the lesson from earlier, with everyone showing off their respective strengths…

And even if we’re in separate teams, we’re still in the same unit.

There’s no victory or defeat in this, so let’s just both do our best to show the audience our good side.

Hajime: I… see. I’ll do my best!

Ehehe, Nii~chan is so amazing. It’s like the clouds in front of my eyes cleared up in a jiffy~♪

Mitsuru: I won’t lose. I’ll beat Tomo-chan hollow with my dancing~!

Tomoya: Why are you calling me out by name…

But I have my forte, too. I can dance this idol’s songs all the way to the end without even looking at the video.

Mitsuru: I’m no good at memorization~… I remembered Ra*bits’ songs with my body by practicing them over and over, but I don’t know this idols’ songs at all.

Yuuta: A battle, huh~. I always perform in perfect synch with Aniki, so this might be a fresh experience…

Hibiki-senpai, thank you very much. I think we’ll be able to have a different kind of performance from usual like this!

I won’t lose this match, Aniki.

Hinata: That’s just what I wanna hear, Yuuta-kun.

Yuuta: Seriously, don’t go easy on me, Aniki. If you lose on purpose I won’t speak to you for a whole week.

Hinata: Eh, anything but that~! Because of you acting independently I haven’t gotten my fill of Yuuta-kun lately, any more than this and I won’t be able to go on living~!

Nazuna: Alright. There doesn’t seem to be any objections from 2wink’s side, so we’ll do a dance battle between these two teams for the live!

Wataru: How about deciding on team names? For example, “Little Rabbit-san Team”, “Twin-san Team”, or something like that… Aah, they’re triplets this time though?

Nazuna: Hmm~... Then let’s decide on team leaders and use their image color as the team names.

Tomoya: I don’t have the ability to be the leader, so Hajime or Hinata should do it.

Hajime: I-I’m not fit to be the leader either~. Hinata-kun is already the leader of 2wink, so I think he would be the best fit.

Nazuna: Hmm, then let’s make Yuuta-chin our team leader.

Having the set-up be Hinata-chin VS. Yuuta-chin will be conspicuous~. Yuuta-chin, do you mind?

Yuuta: Ah, no. If you’re okay with me, I’ll do it… In that case, how about naming us the “Pink Team” and “Blue Team”, respectively?

We changed our headphones and hairpins into different colored ones to differentiate us. And those colors are pink and light blue.

Nazuna: Yeah, that’s easy to understand, I think it’s good~♪

Alright. Then let’s try having a dance battle between our teams right away. Fufun, this just became a lot of fun~♪
