(IDOLiSH7) Gaku Yaotome - The Unfinished Library Rabbit Chat [English Translation]
I am not a professional translator. If you notice any mistakes please let me know.
Riku: Yaotome-san, good job! ๐ Thank you so much for coming to our dorm's watch party today!
Gaku: Good job to you too, Nanase. Thanks for inviting me.
Gaku: Ryuu kept talking about how much fun it was. I bet Tenn wanted to come too, but unfortunately he already had plans.
Gaku: Usually he doesn't seem that interested, but while we were filming, he would keep asking me "How was today's shoot?" and inquire as to how you were doing.
Riku: Really...?! Even though he could Rabbit Chat me as much as he wants...?!
Gaku: Right? I told him that he should message you too, but then he responded "So, you're the type to ask without hesitation, huh?" and snorted at me.
Riku:
Gaku: I don't get it. Is there a problem with me asking? If you wanted to know something, you'd ask, right?
Riku: I'm also the type to ask so I understand! I want to ask lots of things!!
Gaku: I'll let Tenn know.
Riku: Speaking of Tenn-nii, has he come back yet?
Gaku: He has. He's in the bath right now.
Gaku: He said he's going to watch the video when he's done. I'll tell him to send you his thoughts on it.
Riku: Thank you! I'm looking forward to his feedback ๐
Riku: I'd be really happy if Tenn-nii enjoys the collaborative story we all worked on together!!
Gaku: We were talking about watching it together in the living room once he gets out of the bath, while we're eating dinner.
Riku: Are you going to watch it again with Tsunashi-san? ๐คฉ
Gaku: Yeah. It's enjoyable no matter how many times I watch it. Actually, I watched it live on the day it aired too.
Gaku: Yeah. I really liked the story. I especially liked that plot twist you came up with.
Gaku: Staying in a familiar environment versus choosing a new path is something everyone struggles with, right? I also found it interesting how it forced me to make that choice in the end.
Riku: Waaaa~ thank you ๐ญ
Riku: I had to create a "turn" in the narrative structure, because I wanted to take the story in a completely new direction.
Gaku: When the time for the greatest decision comes, isn't it nerve wracking wondering which way it'll go?
Gaku: After taking the baton from you, I was really troubled on how to wrap things up.
Gaku: I thought this ending might not satisfy everyone. Even though I thought that, I chose the way I thought was right.
Riku: Ah, that reminds me, there was something I wanted to ask you, Yaotome-san!
Riku: Which appeals to you more: a seafood bowl restaurant along the coastline, or a ramen shop hidden away in a shopping district?
Gaku: Whichever looks more delicious!
Riku: I feel you!! But how would you choose between the two?
Gaku: I'd probably go for the seafood bowl place then. I haven't had raw fish in awhile, so I'm kinda in the mood for sashimi.
Gaku: But that's just my opinion. If you're that curious about them, why not go to both?
Riku: It's true that I'm curious about them, but... I was wondering which one would be good if we were to go together!
Gaku: Ah, we promised to go out for a meal together sometime, didn't we...?
Gaku: So that's why you asked. Thanks. You were thinking about where to go?
Riku: Yeah! After doing some research, I narrowed it down to these two hidden gems โจ
Riku: Is it okay if we go to the seafood restaurant? ๐คฉ
Gaku: Let's eat at both, for lunch and dinner. Since you went to the trouble of finding such good spots.
Gaku: I'm also curious about the ramen shop.
Riku: Wah- that makes me happy! I couldn't decide either, since I also liked them both ๐ฅบ
Gaku: We haven't really gone out together much before, so let's have some fun and good food. If it's along the coast, it's best to take a car, right? Let's go for a drive.
Riku: Thank you! Casually inviting me out for a drive- you're so cool, Yaotome-san โจ
Gaku: Really? This is how I usually am though.
Riku: To think I have the luxury of getting to sit in the passenger's seat of Yaotome-san's car!
Gaku: It's refreshing to hear you say that. Tenn's so used to it by now that even he says he'd rather sit in the back.
Gaku: Because if he sits in the passengers seat, we'll talk for ages. Well, one way or another, he ends up in the passenger seat anyway.
Gaku: His music taste is good at least, I'll give him that.
Riku: I want to hear it too! I'm looking forward to going on a drive with you, Yaotome-san ๐
Gaku: Yeah, I'll be the perfect escort ๐
