#enstl

In addition to my old translations, I have recently completed several new ones! I hope you'll check them out.

I am not 100% finished reuploading all of my old translations, but I should hopefully have it all up soon! I'm also working on new translations, so please look forward to those as well! I'm currently working on Element, and also trying to finish up SS Finals :)

Some notes:

I'd GREATLY appreciate if people can point out any bugs, broken links, typos, mistranslations, or other issues with the site. Since I've done all of this on my own in a rather short time frame, I know for certain there are mistakes here and there, and I'd like to fix them! You can contact me here on Tumblr!

If you are interested in providing more extensive help, such as proofreading my translations (JP or EN, project past, present, or future), please reach out to me! I would love to provide the highest quality translations possible, and there's only so much I can do on my own.

Before interacting with my translations, I would very much appreciate if you read and respect my terms, which can be found on my translation directory and my Enstars landing page. I'm happy that I can share my work with others again, but I would rather not have bad actors ruin that fun again.

Season: Autumn

Time: Mid October.

Place: Rhythm Link Office

Keito: …I see. That will be helpful.

Keito: So senpai, you mean to say that because we live in the information age, having a foundation built upon the classics and tradition is of the utmost importance.

Keito: Exactly, we mustn’t lose sight of that which we can value regardless of the era: our fundamentals, basics and etiquette.

Keito: Unwavering― “Your will, still and strong like a lake”, that is exactly how one should step forward to their future. Yes, I’ll bear that in mind.

Keito: Thank you very much for the valuable life lesson. Then, have a good day―

Keito: (...Phew. He finally left.)

Keito: (Seriously, RhythLi’s senpai idols sure are a handful. I appreciate that they have big expectations for us, but something about getting lectured on life feels a little too old-fashioned.

Keito: (Sakuma and Hakaze seem like they’ve figured out how to schmooze those old dogs; I’ve still got a long way to go, huh.)

Keito: (I don’t think sucking up to the seniors is even one bit necessary, but I wouldn’t want Akatsuki to go through hardships because of my actions.)

Keito: “Your will, still and strong like a lake”, huh…

Souma: Hasumi-dono!

Souma: Marvelous work talking with our senpai from “Rizurin”. I shall pour some tea at once♪

Keito: What? You were here too, Kanzaki?

Souma: Yes! I arrived but a moment ago. Hasumi-dono was exchanging words with our senpai, so I kept watch over you from the shadows.

Keito: Watching me be lectured by our senpai couldn’t have been very fun. When that happens, don’t worry about bothering us and just come on out.

Souma: Nay, my social skills could never be on par with yours, Hasumi-dono. Not to mention I cannot be so friendly with someone I am not devoting my loyalty to.

Souma: Even if I happened to be there, I would probably cut into the conversation and cause problems for you.

Souma: My intentions were not to interfere with your work, so I shut my mouth and kept watch.

Keito: That so. I would have felt bad if I had made you wait for a long time.

Keito: Even though our generations and values are different, they are still a human being. There's no need for you to feel uncomfortable just by stepping inside the office, Kanzaki.

Keito: In my case, I’m grateful that I just got lectured on a complex subject.

Souma: Fufu. Hasumi-dono getting lectured―

Keito: What’s wrong? Is it so outlandish for me to be the one getting lectured?

Souma: I would say so. Back in Yumenosaki, you were the one to give lectures, so it’s amusing to see you in the kohai position.

Souma: Speaking of… What was the lecture about?

Keito: Oh, it’s nothing important. They asked me if Akatsuki was participating in the halloween event.

Souma: “Hello win”... ?

Keito: Yeah. It’s almost Halloween, Kanzaki.

Keito: ES seems to be planning a Halloween Event. I had thought of participating at first.

Keito: But it seems our senpais from RhyLi don’t really want Akatsuki to appear at the event

Souma: Are they encouraging other units and yet disapprove of Akatsuki's participation…?

Souma: That is completely unreasonable. There is nothing so objectionable about our participation.

Keito: Yeah. No matter what the higher-ups are thinking, we will act accordingly to our own wishes. Akatsuki taking part in a western festival is definitely not out of reason.

Keito: Although, something seems off.

Keito: After listening to what they had to say, I’ve learnt that there is another reason they don’t want Akatsuki in the event.

Keito: There were suggestions to have Akatsuki handle the opening performance for the Rhythm Festa― the agency’s live event that is organized by the RhyLi leaders― as the representatives for the newbies.

Keito: Unable to approach us beforehand, they’ve heard about us wanting to participate in the ES Halloween Event which is held on the same day… And that’s how it went.

Souma: I see. However I do not understand, why only Akatsuki…?

Souma: Leaving the other newbies as they are and just coming to us with this proposal, sounds a bit odd.

Keito: It’s probably thanks to the Succession Match[1] the other day. The RhyLi higher-ups seem to have enjoyed the “Vampire Shogun” reboot as well.

Keito: “Despite being so young, you did well with a show from the old times”― and et cetera. It appealed to those with a taste for the past, but it was also a show that I had deep emotional attachment with so having praised for it made me happy.

Keito: In this long-standing agency, it’s not such a bad strategy to get Akatsuki liked by the higher-ups.

Keito: This live has been held at the end of October since even before Halloween put down roots in Japan, so the clientele will heavily consist of older generations too.

Keito: We’ll be able to show our performance to fans who are unaware of us.

Keito: In addition, Akatsuki will have the pride of being a unit that is liked by older generations. Which means even though it’s small, participating in that event has some merit for us.

Souma: Hmm… Whilst other units celebrate “Hello Win”, Akatsuki will be making the best of its strong points and entertain the guests with a traditional show.

Keito: Yeah. I don’t know if we’ll get the job for certain, as it’s still under consideration, but it sure doesn’t sound half bad.

Keito: We can’t decide on such a topic with Kiryu absent, though; let me hear about your thoughts once we’re all together.

Souma: Understood. Then I shall prepare for the Yumenosaki “Hello Win Party” until a conclusion is reached.

Souma:Last year you held the event without flaw, but this year I’m struggling so much that I would even accept help from a cat.[2]

Keito:You took over my job this year? Don’t cause problems for others, Kanzaki.

Souma:Nay, the ones that took over the job are the members of the student council― I am but a mere maid.

Souma:However, handling matters behind the scenes is proud work, as well. I shall support Yumenosaki’s event with vigor, just like Hasumi-dono had done last year.

Souma:Where there is prosperity, so too is there someone behind the curtains holding it up. I came to learn that from watching your back… ♪

Season: Autumn

HiMERU: (It certainly gets quite crowded here at noon. The seats at the counter have all been taken as well, so finding an empty one is proving to be quite difficult…)

Souma: Oh, if it isn’t himeru-dono[1]!

HiMERU: Well, if it isn’t Kanzaki-san and Otogari-san. Are you two having lunch?

Souma: Aye. It appears that himeru-dono is looking for a place to sit. If you’d like to, why don’t you have a seat with us?

HiMERU: Is that alright?

Adonis: Of course, you’re welcome to join us.

HiMERU: (...This makes HiMERU a tad anxious, but that is not an acceptable reason to outright reject someone.)

(HiMERU only came to Cinnamon to have a cup of coffee anyways. HiMERU can just take his leave shortly after finishing it.)

—In that case, HiMERU will take you up on your offer. Pardon the intrusion.

Souma: Fufu. I’m pleased that we’re receiving the opportunity to enjoy a meal with himeru-dono.

What will himeru-dono have for lunch—

HiMERU: Hello, could HiMERU have a cup of coffee please? Yes, that will be all.

Adonis&Souma: …!?

HiMERU: Is something wrong? You’ve stopped eating. It would be wasteful if your food got cold, don’t you agree?

Souma: …If I may ask, himeru-dono, have you eaten lunch prior to this today?

HiMERU: No, HiMERU hasn’t. HiMERU’s breakfast was quite heavy today, so he planned on having a lighter lunch.

Adonis: So in other words, you haven’t eaten anything yet…? You can’t possibly mean that your lunch is solely going to be the one cup of coffee you just ordered?

HiMERU: Yes, HiMERU was intending on having just a cup of coffee for lunch.

Souma: If all you have for now is coffee, I’m worried about the physical state you’ll be in during your afternoon activities. I shall order something else for y—

HiMERU: Thank you for your kindness. However, there is no need to concern yourself, as this is HiMERU’s own diet.

Souma: Is— is that so…

Adonis&Souma: …

HiMERU: (Why do they look so vexed? It’s a challenge to enjoy the coffee with them making those types of expressions…)

—HiMERU is sincerely okay with only having coffee.

Additionally, it is rather unsettling to see you staring at HiMERU in such a way.

Adonis: …Sorry. But no matter how much I think about it, I’m really concerned about you.

HiMERU: Concerned…you say. What do you mean by that? This might be a bit rude, but is there a reason as to why you are so concerned about HiMERU?

Adonis: Yes, there is. I’ve seen you in the staff canteens and in Cinnamon from time to time.

Whenever I’ve seen you, I’ve noticed that you usually only order drinks — I barely ever see you eat any proper meals.

You can’t fill up your stomach with drinks only. You can’t even get nutrients from them. That’s why…

That’s why I want to feed you some meat.

Souma: Fish is also quite healthy♪

Of course, being mindful of a “balanced” diet and not forgetting to eat your vegetables is also a must.

HiMERU: …HiMERU is terribly sorry for worrying you.

But rest assured, HiMERU is having proper meals, on top of calculating his calorie intake. HiMERU is perfectly healthy.

Adonis: If you’re certain you’re healthy, then that’s fine, but… You’re still too light.

That was immediately apparent to me when I carried you on my shoulders on the MDM stage. You’re too light for your own good. [2]

Souma: If it’s making Adonis-dono repeat himself twice, then it must be something worth taking seriously.

I always thought he was slim, but to think himeru-dono weighed so little…

I have a large amount of faith in my own strength. I believe that I am also strong enough to carry himeru-dono with ease ♪

HiMERU: Kanzaki-san, please refrain from rolling up your sleeves. If, perchance, you do attempt to carry HiMERU in such a public space, HiMERU will pass out from embarrassment.

—I understand. The scent of your meals has indeed increased HiMERU’s appetite, so it wouldn’t hurt to order one serving of food.

Adonis: Really?

Souma: Oh, that’s wonderful ♪

HiMERU: (They look quite happy… HiMERU was only trying to appease them so they wouldn’t try to carry him on their shoulders, but were they genuinely concerned about him?)

Souma: Now then, this is the “menu”. Let us choose a suitable dish for himeru-dono.

Adonis: I recommend the meatloaf. I would like for him to eat meat.

Souma: A meal shouldn’t go without rice. What about “curry” or “omurice”?

HiMERU: (...! If HiMERU orders such dishes, it will ruin his meal plans for the rest of the day!)

Adonis: Which one would you like—

HiMERU: —Ahem. Thank you both for your suggestions. However, HiMERU would prefer to choose for himself. Could you pass over the menu, please?

Adonis: Hm… Right, sorry about that. It’s best for you to eat whatever you enjoy.

HiMERU: This is overwhelming— the menu is quite rich in options. A dish that would go well with coffee, on top of being a dish that HiMERU would like to eat, would be…

…My apologies, could you also bring a cheesecake, please? Yes, that’s all.

Adonis: Cheesecake…

Souma: So a “dessert”...

HiMERU: Fufu, my apologies. Right now, HiMERU feels like a cheesecake would be enough.

HiMERU will order a dish of your choosing next time. Or maybe even what you’re having right now…

If it’s alright with you, can you tell HiMERU how it tastes?

Souma: Umu, of course ♪

Adonis: Alright. I’m not good at explaining stuff with words alone, but I’ll make sure to let you know about it to the point of making you want to eat it.

HiMERU: (HiMERU was only planning on having a simple cup of coffee, but…)

—Well, that’s fine.

Souma: himeru-dono?

HiMERU: Ah, well… It’s nothing. HiMERU can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Midori: I put it in the fridge to keep it nice and cool, and he just went and ate it like nothing! Can you believe that!?

Mao: Takamine~!

Midori: Hmm...? Did someone just call my name...?

Mao: Heeey, Takamine~!

Midori: Huh? Isara-senpai...? Good work today. Did something happen?

Mao: Good work yourself! I tried asking you if you'd like to go back to the dorms together, but you were gone as soon as I dismissed the club~. I had to really leg it to catch up to you.

Midori: Umm, together...? What happened all of a sudden? Did I mess up during today’s club activities?

Mao: Nah, you're good. But it's nice to walk together every now and then, don'tcha think? We're both going back to the dorms anyway. ♪

Midori: Huh... Eh, I guess it’s fine...

Mao: Hey, you good? You seem kinda tired, Takamine.

Midori: Well, of course I’d get tired after a whole match on the court... Also, wasn’t today’s training a bit harder than usual?

Mao: You think so? I don't think we did anything out of the ordinary, though~. Subaru even took Daikichi for a walk after practice, he didn't seem tuckered out at all.

Midori: Please don’t lump me in with Akehoshi-senpai. Isn’t he basically a stamina monster? I just want to laze around all day every day... I’m supposed to be a normal highschool student...

Mao: Ahaha, well... You're not exactly a "normal highschool student" if you're an idol too, y'know.

But I mean, you seemed pretty tired even before we started doing anything? So that's why I was wondering if everything was alright.

Midori: Huh...?

Mao: It didn't really feel like your head was anywhere near the court during the match either, like you were just going through the motions. So that's why I thought that maybe something might be off about you... Anything weighing on your mind?

Midori: Umm... Did I really give off that vibe...?

Mao: Well... From the outside, it does just seem like the way you usually are, Takamine, so maybe I've got no leg to stand on with thinking there's something up...

Maybe I'm just overthinking it and you really are fine. But hey, if there ever is anything troubling you, just gimme a holler, okay~?

If you just keep it to yourself, you'll think yourself into a hole; you'll feel better talking them out with someone.

And if you're having a tough time keeping up with work and club, just lemme know; it's fine if you take a day off from doing the latter every now and then, okay?

Midori: If I could, I’d take a rest from the club all the time...

Mao: Oh? So that's not it? Guess I whiffed that one~.

Midori: You really watch closely, huh, Isara-senpai. Are you always that observant with people...?

Mao: Ah! Wait, you don't think I'm a creeper just because I do, do you?!

It's not like I'm a stalker or anything like that, it's totally different! I'm just the sorta person that notices things about others, that's all...

See, normally I'm surrounded by people who worry me silly if I don't know how they're doing. It's what I get in exchange for all the stress-related stomachaches I've had in the past.

Midori: Fufu, I wasn’t thinking that. Isn’t that fine? There are plenty of people who’d agree that that type of person is trustworthy as the Student Council President or Club Captain, sooo... You’re perfect for the role.

Mao: I sure hope so~. I bet Tori would 100% say that I’m creepy if I ever told him I was always watching out for him.

Midori: Ahah... I can easily imagine that somehow.

Mao: Ahaha, right?

Midori: But honestly, it’s not really a worry or anything. It’s just me feeling a bit depressed...

But ‘cause I don’t get why I feel so down, I start overthinking it... Then I get depressed thinking about how narrow-minded I am...

Mao: Huh, I see. And what's got you feeling down? There's gotta be a reason for it, right?

Midori: Well... My brother’s getting married soon.

Mao: Oh, really? That's real sweet, congrats! ♪

Midori: Telling me that is kinda weird but... Oh well, thank you.

Mao: So what's got you in a poor mood about it? Do you have a problem with his pick or something?

Midori: Not really, she’s a good person. She lives in our neighborhood, so we’ve known her since forever, kinda like how you would with a childhood friend.. Also they’ve been dating for a long time now.

So when my brother finally passed the bar exam, he took this as an opportunity to jump a step ahead and live together with her.

Mao: Whoa, the bar exam?! So he's going into law?

Midori: Haaah... Yeah, I guess.

Mao: Your brother's amazing~.

Midori: Not really. It took him forever to pass the exam... Well, okay fine, the fact that he kept trying until he passed is pretty amazing, but...

That doesn’t change the fact that he’s always been so selfish.

Like, when I’m watching TV on the sofa, he comes over and squeezes his whole damn body on the sofa, while kicking me to the side. He doesn’t change the channel or anything, though.

Mao: Uh huh.

Midori: Whenever I’m about to go shopping, he barges in and makes me buy stuff for him too. But I guess it’s fine ‘cause he lets me buy whatever I like with the change.

Mao: Right.

Midori: Ah, that’s right...! Just the other day, he ate the collab pudding Purapurupurin that I was planning on enjoying after dinner...! I put it in the fridge to keep it nice and cool, and he just went and ate it like nothing! Can you believe that!?

Though after that he bought me a Purapurupurin plushie and my anger simmered down.

Mao: ... I see?

Midori: Anyways, he’s very selfish. He decides to get married out of nowhere and leaves home literally right after.

Like, I visited my family just a while back on my day off, but he was already at his new place by that point.. My fucking brother is too damn impulsive with everything.

We were always a family together at home, with him as my big brother and me as his younger brother... But now that he’s building a new family, he just dips out like it’s nothing... He really is way too selfish.

Haaah... My parents are super happy for him, but I just can't stand that selfishness... I can’t give them my blessing, and ‘cause of that I get gloomy...

My own narrow-mindedness makes me depressed...

Mao TL: Peace

Content Warning!

Contains mentions of alcohol.

Midori and Mao: (Siiiiigh)...

Mao: In the end, if someone asked me if I enjoyed what I ate, I wouldn't be able to tell them at all…

Midori: It was my first time eating a hamburger that I couldn’t taste for shit… So my sense of taste depends that much on my mood, huh.

Mao: Yeah, no joke... Guess you learn something new every day.

Midori: Speaking of which, what the hell was that all about? For real, what was that? Are weddings the latest trend on the streets now? Even more than mascot characters?!

Mao: Don't ask me~... I wanna know what's up too, y'know.

I mean, is this stuff really the type to be in style? Marriage, I mean.

But I didn't think Anzu'd just jump the gun like that so suddenly... Well, nevermind, she is pretty impulsive...

Still, that's not like her at all.

Midori: But if it isn’t about trying to be in style, then that means she really is getting wed for real...

Mao: Then it really is like we thought... She's really getting married...

Midori: Ughhh… I have no idea how I should face her the next time I see her...

Mao: Same here...

Midori and Mao: ...

Mao: So, uh... Anyway, we should proooobably head inside the dorms instead of just... loitering around out here like a pair of weirdos.

Midori: Yeah, that’s… yeah you’re right. If we get reported as suspicious people on top of this, it would just make things worse for us.

Mao: ...

Midori: ...

Midori: ...Umm…. Why aren’t you moving? Aren’t you going back to the dorms?

Mao: That's my line, Takamine.

Midori: I mean, ‘cuz Isara-senpai’s just standing there, so am I...

Mao: Well, I'm just standing here 'cause you're still standing here too... Anyway, there's no point in us going back and forth like this, let's go already...

Midori: Yeah, let’s...

Midori and Mao: ...

Mao: So like, why're you following me, anyway?

Midori: I’m not following you or anything. I just thought of heading to the kitchen for a bit.

Why are you coming this way anyways? Wouldn’t it be better to go back to your room?

Mao: Oh, I had the same thought as you. Going to the kitchen and all...

Midori and Mao: ...

Mao: ... Hey, Takamine?

... (Makes a "want a drink?" gesture.)

Midori: …(Silently nods.)

Mao: We'll just have some soda though, since we're still underaged. Heads up, Takamine.

Midori: Ah, thank you. Though I doubt drowning our sorrow with soda instead of alcohol would help...not that I’ve drank alcohol before.

Mao: Hey, don't say that. Soda is seriously better than nothing, right?

Midori: Well, you’re right on that.

Mao: Man, adults really have it made~. They can actually drink alcohol. Hey, I heard you can forget stuff if you have too many. That true?

Midori: It’s more up to the person who’s drinking. My pops remembers everything no matter how much he drinks.

But I’ve heard you start vibing really hard when you drink. Anything seems fun and all.

One time when I was young, I asked him if it was really as tasty as he made it look like, and he told me, “It’s more fun than it is tasty”.

Mao: That just makes me wish we could have some more than ever...

Midori: Right. But when you hear that you could lose your memories or be over-ecstatic, it kinda sounds dangerous...

Mao: Yeah, that's true...

Leo: Mmmmm? Oooh, uchuu~☆ Just got in, huh? Welcome baaaaack!

Midori: ...Ah, umm. We’re back.

Mao: Tsukinaga-senpai...? What're you doing here?

Leo: Me? I've been trying to pen down some new music in my room, but that wasn't working out, so I decided to come here for a change of pace!

On the other hand, what're you two doing here? Having a secret rendezvous? Conspiring? Whatever it is, it's fine, go right ahead~

Spite's what separates the kids from the adults, after all! ... I think, I dunno!

Midori: If you aren’t sure, then don’t say it..

Mao: We're not conspiring or having any sort of secret anything, Tsukinaga-senpai. It's just... Uh... I'm just having a drink with my junior, that's all...

Leo: That soooo? I've never seen anyone drink soda with such a pathetic look before! What, is it not tasty or something?

Well, whatever! Oooh, wait, that's the ticket! That is the ticket! I've struck creative gold!

I'm supposed to write.... a heartbreaker, I guess it's called? It's about someone who was too late in saying anything~.

Mao: Ugh...!

Leo: I don't like sad songs like this, but I took it on anyway! The person who asked is someone I owe, so there's no way I could tell 'em no~.

And the depressing mood in here's really getting my inspiration juices going!

Mao: Guh...?!

Midori: Ah- Isara-senpai keeps getting shot by stray bullets…! Come back to your senses, Isara-senpai!

I can’t believe you’d kick someone’s corpse, Tsukinaga-senpai. You’re the worst.

Leo: Eh?! What'd I do?!

Being shot at, getting stung by a stray bullet — when did the dorms become a battlefield? I've got no idea what's goin' on, but sorry for whatever!

Mao: N-Nah, it's fine... I'm good. It's nothing, just... forget about it, okay?

Leo: Ooookay? You look like you're really goin' through something right now, should I leave?

Mao: No, no, it's fine, really. We'll be quiet, so you can keep working, Tsukinaga-senpai.

Midori: Yeah. We’ll become one with the corner of the room...So please just think of us as decoration or something.

Leo: So I oughta just treat you guys like you're not even there? Wahaha! ☆ What weirdos~♪

I like weird stuff! I think that's the best place for the undiscovered to exist! But alright, whatever you say! I'll get this done lickity-split. ♪
