iHAKE! ~Tamaki Episode 1~

Yotsuba Tamaki: Hiya, everyone. This is IDOLiSH7's Yotsuba Tamaki.

Yotsuba Tamaki: On today's "iHAKE! Idol Dispatch!~" project, well...... I'm here in a wide kitchen.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Also, it smells really sweet here...... What's the request this time? Gettin' hungry now!

Staff: You can tell just by the scent......?!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Eh, there's a lotta smell here.

Chocolate, cookies, and...... ah, I think I smell donuts too!

Staff: Eeh?!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Heheh. Cuz the taste testers of IDOLiSH7 are me and Nagicchi.

My taste test ability ain't for show.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I can tell just by the scent.

Staff: I'm aware that you love sweets, but I didn't expect you have such a skill......!

Boy: Aah! It's Tamaki!

Boy: You're right! He's so big!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Woah......?! What is it?!

Momo: Nyahaha! Sorry sorry, they couldn't wait for long!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Momorin, you're here!

Kujou Tenn: Hello, Yotsuba Tamaki-san.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Tenntenn's here too......!

So, my support guests are......

Momo: Yes! It's us!

......Good little kids, can you recite what we practiced earlier?

Children: Yeees!

Kujou Tenn: Alright then, here we go!

One, two......!

Everyone: "We want to make a house that looks like the castle where King Pudding lives"!

Yotsuba Tamaki: King Pudding's castle......

Uh, you mean that castle made from sweets?

Momo: Yes! You know that, right, Tamaki?

King Pudding's song!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Of course!

......Oh Oh Oh Oh Ousama Puri-puri~~♪

Children: Oukan no sakiccho ni ha kuriimu wo mittsu~~♪

[TL: There are three pieces of cream on the tips of his crown~~♪]

Yotsuba Tamaki: Oh! Both of you know the song too!

Boy: Of course!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha! I should've known!

Kujou Tenn: Hehe. The kid from Ainana Kindergarten who loves King Pudding made a request to create a castle using sweets with you.

Momo: Furthermore, the company that made King Pudding will fully back you up!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ooh...... This is gonna be so amazing!

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......So that means, this sweet smell is......

Staff: You're correct. It's the scent of the sweets that will be used to create the castle!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Seriously? This is so awesome!

Boy: So awesome!

Momo: Some sweets have been prepared for the program in advance, but the easy to make ones like the cookies, will be made with the kids!

Kujou Tenn: That means we can put decorations together from scratch.

Let's grant the wishes of these children.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Of course......!

Alright, everyone! Let's create this really awesome castle!

Everyone: Yeah......!

(Fade out)

(Fade in)

Yotsuba Tamaki: Whoa, we're like, uh? Patisserie!

Momo: It looks good on all of you! Tamaki, you look really cool!

Kujou Tenn: Aside from being a Patisserie due to the apron, your interaction with the children made you look more like a teacher.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Hehe! Guess I'm like a teach.

Just doing what I can do.

Boy: Ah, they have King Pudding nameplates!

Girl: I'm jealous!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Oh. Then let's make King Pudding cookies together!

Ones that look like these nameplates.

Children: Let's make it!

Momo: ......In a moment, I thought that they're going to talk how unfair it is, but Tamaki diverted it......

Kujou Tenn: ......I concur. I don't know if it's just his quick-wittiness, or if he did it out of reflex......

Girl: Hey hey, what can I call you two?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Oh yeah.

Everyone, gather here.

Children: We're here!

Yotsuba Tamaki: I'm Tamaki. Then he's TennTenn, and this is Momorin.

Kujou Tenn: Isn't TennTenn hard to say......?

Girl: TennTenn-sensei!

Kujou Tenn: Ah......

Hehe. Thank you.

Boy: Hi, Momorin-sensei!

Momo: Yeees! I'm Momorin-sensei! Let's all get along well, everyone!

Children: Woaaah......!

Teacher: I'm sorry, everyone.

We'll be in your care today.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ah, you're the real teach?

Teacher: Yes. I'm these children's teacher at Ainana Kindergarten.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Umm...... We'll be careful not to put them in harm's way......

Yotsuba Tamaki: We appreciate your help.

Teacher: Alright! Please leave it to me!

Momo: ......It feels like you're being more reliable now, Tamaki!

Momo-chan's heart is fluttering!

Kujou Tenn: I agree. You act more mature compared to when you're with IDOLiSH7.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Hmm. They remind me of the kids at the orphanage. Been so busy recently that I couldn't go and see them.

Momo: Tamaki......

Boy: Hey, Tamaki-sensei!

All of us had a talk on how to make the King Pudding castle with sweets.

Boy: Can we make it like this?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Awesome! You guys drew this?

Boy: Yeah!

Momo: Waah......! There's even a postbox! Is this doable with chocolates?

Boy: By the way, if the King Pudding castle doesn't have a postbox, we thought it'll be better if it has one!

Momo: No way, this kid is really considerate......

Kujou Tenn: ......Why are you speaking in Anesagi's tone......?

Girl: I'll add hearts and ribbons on the cookie roof to make it look cuter! Like Princess Meringue!

Kujou Tenn: So that it will look colorful. That's such a lovely idea. Do you want to do it with me?

Girl: Sure......!

Momo: So the front door will be a donut?

Boy: Yeah! It'll look cute with lots of donuts.

So it's alright even if you eat one!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha! You're right, it won't be obvious if you eat one. That's a great idea!

Boy: Yeah! It's because I love donuts!

Kujou Tenn: I see. I love donuts too.

Boy: TennTenn-sensei too? We're matchies!

Momo: I like sweets too!

Can we put chocolate on the walls?

Boy: Yes! We can do it with chocolate that won't melt! The uh, sugar butler? said so!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ooh. You sure know a lot!

Boy: It's because I like it! More than Tamaki-sensei!

Yotsuba Tamaki: What......?! Oh you, I'll tickle you!

Boy: Kyahahaha......!

Kujou Tenn: Hehe. Well then. Let's create the castle that everyone thought of.

Girl: Yay!

Momo: This Momorin-sensei will forgive you if you take a little bite......! Teehee!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Oh crap. Everyone, Momorin-sensei is the big boss. Be careful......!

Boy: Momorin-sensei, you're the boss!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Let's make the castle of sweets with the boss!

Everyone: Yeah......!

Drum beats, don,don, don! KA-!

Momo: Sei!

Town People: Haa!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Sei!!

Town People: Haaaa...!!!

Momo: Ahaha! You’re all perfect! Thanks for joining in with the shout!

Nanase Riku: Next, let's raise our fists together!

Yaotome Gaku: Come on, keep it up...! You guys can shout louder...!

Town People: Waaaah...!!

Elderly Board Member: Haha, it's the first time we’re shouting along with the drums. It's so much fun.

High School Boy: It's like shouting at a live concert!

Female Office Worker: ...No way!? A backflip…!?

Little Boy: Wow...! Amazing...!!

Middle-Aged Man: What incredible power... I've seen a lot of performances, but this is completely new! 

Don, don, don, kakakaka...!!!

Town People: Waaaaah...!!!

Momo: Huff, huff…Thank you everyone…!!!

Momo: Our Japanese drum performance was a bit different from usual... How was it?

Town People: Waaaah...!

Middle-Aged Man: It was great!!

Momo: Ahaha! I'm glad...!

Yaotome Gaku: We consulted with the drums teacher and the youth group to add our own flair!

Nanase Riku: We wanted to bring a unique performance since we were invited to perform on this special day, it’s something only we as idols could offer. So we hope you enjoyed it!

Momo: The town's drum performance is so cool! We made sure to respect the tradition while adding our own touch!

Momo: This performance is for all the people who have cherished the Autumn Leaves Festival throughout generations...!

Town People: Waaaah...!

Momo: Thank you so much for letting us participate in the Autumn Leaves Festival...!  We'll be performing with the youth group next! Let's keep the excitement going until the very end!!

---

Yuki: Momo of Re:vale, you're the best.

Yuki: I felt not just the quality of your performance, but the respect you showed for the Autumn Leaves Festival.

Yuki: The townspeople must have been delighted to have their beloved festival cherished by you.

Momo: Ehehe! Thanks! I feel like I could grow wings anytime you praise me, Yuki...!

Momo: Maybe I should open a bottle in my secret wine stash to celebrate? The delivery should arrive later.

Yuki: Sounds good. Let's do it.

Momo: Yippee!

Yuki: By the way, I haven’t been to your place in a while, it’s properly tidy.

Momo: I cleaned like my life depended on it! You said you were coming over out of nowhere!

Yuki: I felt like it. It’s been a while since we both had the day off.

Momo: I stuffed all the laundry and luggage into the closet... It was hell.

Yuki: ...Is that considered cleaning? Maybe I should visit more often if it gives you a reason to tidy up.

Momo: Ugh... I'm torn between being happy you’re here and annoyed at having to clean...

Yuki: Half and half?

Momo: ...70/30.

Yuki: And the happiness is 70, right?

Momo: ...I'll just keep visiting your place from now on!

Yuki: I knew it.

Momo: W-Wait! Having Yuki over is extremely special to me...!

Yuki: Hmm. So I'm like your personal Autumn Leaves Festival?

Yuki: Once a year is enough?

Momo: Ahhh, even sulky Yuki is handsome...! ...I mean!

Momo: Any time I spend with you is always special to me!

Yuki: Then that’s fine by me ...Hehe. Momo, you're really good at making me happy.

Momo: That's my number one best skill!

Yuki: You're good at making other people happy as well. You understand what people value and show subtle consideration for them.

Yuki: I thought it was amazing to witness in the Aihake VTR too.

Momo: ...Huh? What’s this about?

Yuki: During the drums practice. You noticed our juniors were overworking themselves and took them outside for a break because you were concerned, right?

Momo: ...No, no! I just wanted to take a little break for myself.

Yuki: But it must’ve also been refreshing for Riku and Gaku themselves. I’m pretty sure they noticed how much you cared for them.

Momo: Ahaha... Yuki sees right through me. I doubt those two noticed, though—

Ding!

Momo: ...Speak of the devil. I got a message!

Yuki: From Riku and Gaku?

Momo: Yeah. We made a group chat for the three of us during Aihake.

Momo: ...Just as you said… They said "Thank you for your consideration!”...

Yuki: Hehe. See?

Momo: Ugh! That’s embarrassing...! I thought I was subtle and cool, but our juniors noticed…!

Yuki: It's not embarrassing, it's cool.

Momo: You think so...?

Yuki: You’re cool even when you’re rough.

Momo: Yuki...! 

Ding-dong

Momo: Ah! Delivery's here! I'll go get it.

Momo: I ordered a ton of organic vegetable dishes! Eat as much as you like!

Yuki: You think I can eat this much?

Momo: It's fine, it’s fine! Let's have an especially fun time tonight!

ㅤ

Nagi: Mitsuki, Mr. Momo! It’s morning already! Let’s go find the lost Kokona together!

Momo: Yawn, morning… Eh, it’s still dark out…

Mitsuki: You’re already awake, Nagi? You got up really early, huh…

Nagi: I was unable to rest at ease knowing that Kokona is all alone in that forest.

*Rustle!*

Nagi: …!? This is—

ㅤ

Mitsuki: Here! The coffee is done brewing~!

Nagi: Thanks!

Nagi: Oh! It smells nice!

Momo: You’re right, it does smell nice. Thank you, Mitsuki!

Momo: …ah, it’s hot!

Momo: But it tastes so good…! It’s a suitable drink to have when you’ve just woken up~

Mitsuki: Using firewood to brew coffee is also one of the joys of camping.

Momo: So that’s what’s known as field coffee!

Nagi: The cup is a kuksa [1], isn’t it? How nostalgic! The owner of a bakery that I’m acquainted with really likes this, they always use this sort of cup.

Mitsuki: Oh! Even the tableware has a Scandinavian style to it!

Momo: Using such stylish tableware early in the morning, my mood has become better.

Momo: Plus… we were able to find Kokona, that’s amazing!

Nagi: Once our coffee time is over, let’s return it to the little girl. I hope we can see her smile with ease.

Mitsuki: Yup, I’m sure she’ll be very happy!

Momo: That’s right! But… I never would’ve expected Kokona to be left right beside the tent.

Mitsuki: It’s easier to forget things if they’re nearby, after all…!

Nagi: Hm… Is that so?

Momo: Hm?

Nagi: Maybe Kokona wasn’t forgotten beside the tent, but was instead delivered to us by someone in the middle of the night.

Mitsuki: …are you talking about the staff?

Nagi: No, the hint lies with Kokona’s sandwich cookies.

Momo: That’s… the snack you gave the forest fairies, right?

Nagi: Yes! The gift I gave them is gone, whereas Kokona appeared at the same spot as I’d placed the snacks.

Nagi: Although they like to play tricks on people, they’re still very kind. Maybe they saw that the little girl was on the verge of tears and quickly brought it back.

Mitsuki: Then, what you’re saying is…!?

Momo: If that’s the case, then it truly is romantic!

Momo: It sounds like something out of a fairy tale!

Nagi: I’m being honest. It reminds me of Northmeir, with the way it feels mystical and joyous.

Nagi: This truly is a pleasant morning, I’m really happy to be able to experience camping!

ㅤ

IDOLiSH7: …

Riku: Wow… that’s amazing! Were there actually fairies!?

Tamaki: There definitely was, right!? They brought back Kokona, after all! Sogo: That is true, the forest and the lake are spacious, so it wouldn’t be weird if there were unknown beings there.

Yamato: Yup, just like how a Zashiki-Warashi would appear in some Japanese-styled hotels~

Iori: The atmosphere of the VCR suddenly feels like that of an urban legend’s…

Mitsuki: Hang on a second…! The VCR was definitely leaning more toward the beauty of a Scandinavian-style camping trip, wasn’t it!?

Nagi: Maybe it was the beauty of a Japanese style, instead.

Mitsuki: I don’t think that’s how it works!?

Riku: Um, Nagi! Did the little girl feel better once her Kokona plush was returned to her?

Nagi: She did, she was happily hugging Kokona!

Mitsuki: It seems like she slept soundly at night as well because Nagi’s Kokona plush was there by her side.

Tamaki: Nagicchi’s so considerate. How do I say this, you’re suuuuper cool!

Iori: You’re like a gentleman who, without a trace, spreads kindness, since you were naturally able to make that little girl feel at ease.

Nagi: Making a lady feel at ease is a gentleman’s duty.

Yamato: As expected of an authentic gentleman.

Mitsuki: She gave you and your Kokona a matching set of camping outfits as thanks for helping her find it too!

Nagi: Treasures that are important to me continue to grow in size…! This truly is a wonderful memory!

Sogo: Camping does seem really fun. The same goes for fishing, although everyone didn’t know what to do at first, you all had so much fun fishing in the end.

Tamaki: That’s so nice~ I want to go camping too…!

Nagi: Oh… If that’s the case, should we discuss it with Mr. Momo?

Nagi: I coincidentally received a message from him earlier saying “I’ve compiled a list of recommended campsites for you!”

Tamaki: Really?

Nagi: I gave him my thanks for letting me experience such a wonderful camping trip, so he invited me along for the next trip as well.

Tamaki: Really!? I want to go too!

Riku: Me too!

Mitsuki: Yeah, then let’s all go together! I can be the guide for everyone once again.

Tamaki & Riku: Yay!!

Yamato: Have fun, just remember to bring home some souvenirs.

Tamaki: What are you talking about!? Yama-san, you’re coming along as well!

Mitsuki: Ossan, there are a lot of things for you to do! For example, starting a fire, building a tent, and so on!

Yamato: Even if I went camping, I’d just stay in a small wooden hut…

Sogo: If we all work together, the work can be completed in a flash.

Yamato: Aha, you’ve gotta be kidding me…

Iori: Although it’s simply camping, there still are various different styles to it. For example, your camping experience this time was that of a Scandinavian style.

Nagi: That’s right, this camping trip reminded me a lot about Northmeir.

Riku: I really hope that we can go camping in Northmeir someday!

Nagi: The summer season of Northmeir is very comfortable and pleasant. It’s unlike the winter season that you’ve all experienced the last time you went, so it’s perfect for you all to experience a different side of Northmeir.

Nagi: Just leave the tour guiding part to me.

Tamaki: Yay!

Sogo: Nagi-kun’s i-HAKE was really interesting as well. It’ll be Riku-kun’s turn next.

Riku: I’m looking forward to it…! I’ve had some ideas on what kind of i-HAKE I want to make, and I’ve thought of a lot!

Iori: I don’t think that decision is in your hands…

Riku: I know that! I’m just saying that’s how excited I am!

Nagi: I’m sure a wonderful experience awaits you ahead.

Nagi: Just like this camping experience, it has already become a precious memory of mine.

Always True to Self

All: It's done......!

Girl: Wow! It's so cute!

Boy: It looks like a real castle!

Boy: Ah, this is the monster I made with Boss!

Momo: That's King Pudding, not a monster?!

Girl: TennTenn-sensei, thank you for attaching the donuts with me!

Kujou Tenn: You're welcome.

It turned out pretty cute.

Boy: ......Tamaki-sensei.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Oh, you're the kid who likes Banchou Pudding.

What's wrong?

Boy: I drew this with chocolate pen.

.......This is you, Tamaki-sensei.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ooh, thanks!

You're really good at drawing.

You should continue doing it.

Boy: Really......?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Yeah. Your friends will be happy too!

Boy: ............!

Sure......!

Teacher: Alright everyone, let's enact what we practiced earlier!

One, two......

Children: Tamaki-sensei, TennTenn-sensei, and Momorin-sensei!

Thank you for making our dreams come true!

Please come back and play again next time!

Momo: Dream...... I should be thanking all of you!

Thank you very much for the wonderful time!

Kujou Tenn: I realized once again how amazing it is to do something for someone.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Thank you so much, everyone!

We'll come back again, and this time with more of us!

(IDOLiSH7 dorms)

IDOLiSH7: ............

Izumi Mitsuki: Tamaki~~~~!!!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Woah......

What is it? It hurts, Mikki!

Izumi Mitsuki: Ugh......

You idiot, I can't help it but give you a hug!

Nanase Riku: I'll hug you too!

Rokuya Nagi: Me too!

Yotsuba Tamaki: S-So heavy~!!

Nanase Riku: Iori, you too!

Izumi Iori: I-I'm fine with it!

Nanase Riku: Ehh! Geez, you're always so shy.

Rokuya Nagi: OH! What about you, Sougo?

Ousaka Sougo: Umm......

Do you, want a hug......?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Sou-chan, you don't, have to.

Ousaka Sougo: O-Okay......?

Nikaidou Yamato: Do you want to jump to my chest, then? Tama.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Why're you the one on the receiving end!

Izumi Iori: ......That said, the role distribution was executed pretty well this time.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Role distribution?

Izumi Iori: Yes. ......Momo-san designated himself as the boss, and how do I say this......

He has the support of mischievous children.

Izumi Iori: And then, there's Kujou-san......

He treats the children with care, and so he's popular with children who are the model student types.

Izumi Iori: Finally, Yotsuba-san.

You treat everyone equally, so you're an all-rounder type loved by everyone.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Is that, a good thing?

Rokuya Nagi: Of course it is, Tamaki!

You don't offend anyone, and proceed with things smoothly.

If I was a person of authority, I would treasure people like you.

Ousaka Sougo: That might be so.

Equality might sound simple, but it's the hardest thing to do.

Nanase Riku: ......Sounds like they're having a complicated discussion......

Yotsuba Tamaki: I don't understand anything even though it's about me......

Nikaidou Yamato: Ahh, to put it simply.

Everyone was moved by your role as a teacher.

Yotsuba Tamaki: It was that kinda talk......?

Izumi Mitsuki: It is! It might be just for work, but I thought that you're the big brother type.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ooh! It's 'coz I'm the big bro!

Nanase Riku: Tenn-nii also felt like a big brother......

Izumi Iori: There. Please stop being sentimental.

Nanase Riku: Wha...... I'm not! I'm just immersing in it!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Did Momorin also feel like a big bro?

Nikaidou Yamato: ......Momo-san is......

Ousaka Sougo: He somehow feels like, a big friend, I guess......

Rokuya Nagi: OH...... That description could be interpreted differently depending on the person, Sougo. [1]

Izumi Mitsuki: Momo-san ate chocolate with the kids!

Did you not eat anything, Tamaki?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ohh, I did.

......A little.

Nikaidou Yamato: Tama ate......

Izumi Mitsuki: A little......?

Ousaka Sougo: That's great, Tamaki-kun.

You recently went to the dentist because of toothache.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Y-Yeah.

Beep.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Oh crap.

Ousaka Sougo: Huh. It's a RabbiChat from Momo-san and Kujou-san in the group chat......

Nikaidou Yamato: Ah, you're right.

Izumi Mitsuki: What do we have here......?

Izumi Mitsuki: ......Tamaki and Tenn, how did you eat the huge quantity of cookies you brought home? It's hard for someone who's going thirty, so if you found a way that's manageable please tell me.

Nikaidou Yamato: ......I remade it to scone and bread.

I'm responsible for the calories I consume......

Nanase Riku: Waah......! The huge quantity of King Pudding cookies you brought home that we secretly ate from everyone has been exposed, Tamaki!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Rikkun......! You just exposed us!

Shh......!

Rokuya Nagi: Even though we're eating bit by bit with black tea......!

Izumi Iori: ......Sigh. I told you so.

Someday that secret will be exposed.

Nanase Riku: How are we supposed to know that!

Rokuya Nagi: He's right!

Ousaka Sougo: ......Tamaki-kun. Since the dentist has taken care of you, I told you not to eat too many sweets, right?

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Well! Y'all ate King Pudding head first mercilessly!

Izumi Mitsuki: ......That's......

Nikaidou Yamato: It's the same thing even if you eat from the stomach......

Rokuya Nagi: So all of you eat Kokona head first as well?!

Nikaidou Yamato: Then how do we eat it?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Based on feelings!

Ousaka Sougo: Geez...... I won't tell you to stop eating.

At least eat at a designated time......

Yotsuba Tamaki: Sweets are delicious when you eat them in the evening!

Nikaidou Yamato: Ahh, yeah I understand what you mean.

Izumi Mitsuki: Ahaha......! The heck. When I saw Tamaki-sensei, I felt a bit sad because he's so mature now, but then he's the same old Tamaki.

Yotsuba Tamaki: What? I'm still me.

Nanase Riku: But your kindness was conveyed in the VTR!

You notice even the smallest details.

Izumi Iori: .......I agree. You may look clumsy and thick-headed, but you can perceive the subtleties of the heart......

Nanase Riku: But you're the clumsier one?

Izumi Iori: How vexing......!

Rokuya Nagi: Tamaki does not concern himself with who's above or below.

He naturally looks at you at eye level, and the same position.

And the other person won't even notice it.

Rokuya Nagi: It was a wonderful project, Tamaki.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......Hehe. Thanks.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Somehow...... I feel a bit down when someone tells me that what I think was amazing is just normal......

Yotsuba Tamaki: When everyone says that what I think is ordinary is amazing, it makes me really happy.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Though it's just the other way around......

Yotsuba Tamaki: I thank everyone for making me think that it's actually amazing.

Thank you very much.

Izumi Mitsuki: S-Stop that......! You're making me cry!

Nikaidou Yamato: You've grown up so much, Tama......

Yotsuba Tamaki: Anyways, Sou-chan!

I expect big things!

Ousaka Sougo: Eh...... Ah, yes......!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Your dispatch job better not be about cooking.

Ousaka Sougo: Really? I don't hate cooking though......

Nanase Riku: S-Sougo-san! The meal we all made today with a bit of spice was easy to eat!

Izumi Iori: Nanase-san, you remember to read the room.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......I wonder if Aya is having a fun day without any lies today.

Yotsuba Tamaki: I wanna tell her about my friends.

......Until that day comes, your big bro is doing his best.

End of Episode 3.

Translator's Notes:

iHAKE! ~Tamaki Episode 2~

Mister Shomooka: Alright! Good evening, everyone!

It's time for another episode of "iHAKE! ~Idol Dispatch!~"!

Audience: Kyaaaaa......!

Mister Shimooka: This program is about dispatching the idols nationwide to fulfill the senders' requests!

Mister Shimooka: The filming was taken over the course of few days, and will be shown as variety documentary later on!

Mister Shimooka: And so, on this episode......

We have Tamaki-kun, Tenn-kun, and Momo-kun here at the studio!

Yotsuba Tamaki: It's finally my turn! Heyaaa!

Kujou Tenn: Good evening. I'm delighted to be participating again.

Momo: Momo-chan's joining too!

Let's have fun together!

Audience: Kyaaaa......!

Mister Shimooka: Alright, please treat me well!

Mister Shimooka: Tamaki-kun, I didn't expect that you're really good at connecting with the kids! I was very impressed.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Hehe. Are you praising me?

Mister Shimooka: Of course! Kids are often scared of me.

Tenn-kun and Momo-kun, what do you two think?

Kujou Tenn: Ah, yes. I learned a lot from him.

He met the children at eye level by crouching down as if it's natural. I don't recall having done that myself.

Momo: Also, he noticed a lot of small details!

During the filming, all I could think was, Tamaki-sensei......!

Mister Shimooka: Really?! I'm getting excited to watch the rest of the VTR!

......At any rate, I'm sure the three of you got hungry during the filming because you're surrounded by sweets.

Momo: I thought to myself that I didn't want to see sweets for the time being, but my body craved for it the next day......

Yotsuba Tamaki: Momorin, aren't you the one who secretly ate the most?

Kujou Tenn: Momorin-sensei, aren't you setting a bad example for the children?

Momo: That...... That's not true!

Even the two of you ate together! I saw it!

Mister Shimooka: Ahaha! We can't tell who's the real children anymore, huh?!

Without further ado, let's watch the continuation!

(Fade out)

(Fade in, scene changes back to the kitchen)

Children: KARAMERU ha tarechau kurai torotoro ni~~♪

(TL: Caramel so thick it drips~~♪)

Children: Puppuppuppuppuri puri torotoro~~♪

(TL: P-p-p-plumpy drippy~~♪)

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha! All of you are good at singing!

Kujou Tenn: .....The song is so highly addictive that I might sing it even when I get home......

Momo: I feel you. I probably would give in and download the song because I want it so bad.

Yotsuba Tamaki: ............?

What are you two talking about?

Momo: Nothing! We're discussing how the song is great!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Right?! I knew you'd understand, Momorin.

Yotsuba Tamaki: You should sing with us too, TennTenn!

Kujou Tenn: No need. Just listening is enough......

Girl: TennTenn-sensei! Let's sing together!

Momorin-sensei too!

Yotsuba Tamaki: See.

Kujou Tenn: Ugh......

I might end up sing it in front of Gaku and Ryuu if I sing here......

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ooh, sounds great. You should spread the word to 'em.

Momo: Momo-chan's specialty is spreading the good word!

I'll teach it to Yuki too!

Momo: Alright, everyone! Let's all sing while shaping the cookies!

Children: Yaaaay!

Momo: One, two!

Everyone: Oh oh oh oh Ousama Puri-puri~~♪

Momo: What's this? This is so much fun!

Kujou Tenn: It feels like we've always known the song, as if our body is accustomed to it......

Momo: We're making an incredible progress with making cookies while singing!

Boy: Ahh! Momorin-sensei, what's that?

A monster?

Momo: Eh?! This is supposed to be a King Pudding-shaped cookie......!

Boy: Eeehh?! That's a monster!

Kujou Tenn: ......It seems that we have to adjust the edges of his limbs. Just like this......

Momo: Woaaahh?! You can tell the limbs apart easily......?!

Girl: Waah......! TennTenn-sensei, you're so good! Do it on mine too!

Boy: Mine too!

Kujou Tenn: Hehe. Sure, come here.

Boy: ......Hey, boss.

Momo: Hm? ......Ah, you mean me!

What do you want from this boss?

Boy: Can I eat a bit of this chocolate?

Momo: Heh heh heh...... This boss will approve your request......

Boy: Yay!

Momo: In exchange, let me have some bite......

Whoa! This is delicious!

Boy: Ahh! Boss! Me too, me too......!

(Fade out)

(Fade in)

Yotsuba Tamaki: ............

That kid......

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......What's wrong? Not having fun?

Boy: Umm......

............

Yotsuba Tamaki: ......I was thinking of making different kinds of King Pudding, wanna join me?

Boy: Different kinds......?

Am I going to make it with Tamaki-sensei?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Yeah.

......Let's see, like Banchou Pudding. [1]

Boy: Banchou Pudding! I love him, he's so cool!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Haha. We'll get along well then.

Hmm, here, we'll start with......

Boy: The hat! Let's start with the hat!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Okay. So the hat then.

Boy: Yeah......! If you do it like this......

Yotsuba Tamaki: You're really good at this.

Girl: Tamaki-sensei, what are you making?

Yotsuba Tamaki: Banchou Pudding. Y'know 'im?

Girl: No! Is he strong?

Boy: Ah...... Umm......

Yes. He's cool and strong.

Boy: That's awesome! How strong is he?

Tell me!

Boy: S-Sure......!

Um, he's holding a leaf with his mouth......

Girl: He's holding a leaf with his mouth? Sounds interesting!

Boy: Ehehe...... That's why he's the banchou!

Also, there's this cape thingy around him......

Momo: ......Even the king needs a lot of friends.

Kujou Tenn: Children are very flexible when given the opportunity.

Kujou Tenn: A while ago, I asked the teacher for advice on how to talk to him. And then they told me that he's not good in group activities......

Momo: Eh?! I heard from the other children that he's listening to conversations without interest, but when it comes to one-on-one talk, he talks a lot......

Momo: ......I see. Tamaki, you'd somehow know even if you didn't ask anyone.

Yotsuba Tamaki: Hmm... It's not like I did something amazing......

Anyone can do anything just by encouraging them.

They're just scared.

Momo: ......Geez! I'll give all the sweets the staff prepared to you! You can eat it......!

Kujou Tenn: Boss, would that be alright?

The people over there are looking at us with troubled faces.

Momo: Yes. They're not the staff, but the boss's underlings! Don't worry!

Yotsuba Tamaki: Ahaha......! You're really interesting, Momorin.

I'll take a bite later.

Yotsuba Tamaki: When the sweets are done, the main thing will be the decorations.

We'll create the best castle!

Translator's Notes:

[1] - Banchou Pudding is a kind of Pudding where instead of a crown and ribbon, he wears a hat that comes with gakuran (uniform for junior and senior high school boys in japan), cape, and a leaf in his mouth. This Pudding is present in Tamaki's "King Pudding" card series.

Momo: Yahoo, everyone~! It's Momo from Re:vale!

Momo: Today I'm visiting a community center in Momoharu Town for the “i-HAKE! ~Idol dispatch~" project!

Momo: This town has a big port nearby and is famous for its seafood bowls~

Staff: Momo-san, you sound like you know a lot about this town. Have you been here before?

Momo: I saw its market featured on TV before and thought it looked nice. The rumors were right, it sure is a lovely town!

Momo: Don’t tell me, is the request related to “that”?

Staff: What do you mean by "that"?

Momo: Fish! I could try my hand at butchering a tuna fish for example!?

Staff: Ohh! That would be worth witnessing…!

Momo: Oh, that reaction… Did I actually get it right!?

Momo: Ah, but wait, don’t you need a certificate to process tuna?

Momo: In that case, if Momo-chan needs one... does that mean I’m gonna be shooting here long-term!? Then I’m gonna guess my support guests are either the intelligent Iori or Sougo!

Staff: Momo-san, your deductive skills are sharp!

Momo: Fufu, you can call me the Great Detective Momo-chan!

Staff: Well then, let's call your two support guests on stage to answer your question!

Nanase Riku: Hello, I'm your support guest, Izumi Iori. I like cool and sharp things.

Yaotome Gaku: Likewise, I'm Osaka Sougo. Nice to meet you...Is this how Osaka acts...?

Momo: Yay! bingo! ...or not, it's Riku and Gaku!

Momo: You two found your groove right from the start!

Nanase Riku: Ehehe, that was a good Iori impression, wasn’t it? I’ll introduce myself properly, I'm Nanase Riku! I'll do my best to support you, Momo-san!

Yaotome Gaku: Ahaha. Sorry my impression didn’t go through as well. I'm Yaotome Gaku, I’ll be your support guest.

Momo: Thank you for being here with us today! I feel like I have the strength of a hundred men with you two here!

Momo: By the way, is the request to process tuna...

Nanase Riku: No it’s not!

Yaotome Gaku: Definitely not that.

Momo: You shot it down immediately!? You junior idols are ruthless...!

Yaotome Gaku: Personally I'd like to try it, even if it sounds challenging. 

Momo: Seeing Gaku dismantle a fish on screen sounds exciting!

Nanase Riku: I wanna see that!

Momo: Let me know if you decide to take on that!

Yaotome Gaku: Ahaha!

Momo: Alright, let's get back to the real request... What is it?

Nanase Riku: Alright! On the count of three...

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: "We want you to perform a traditional Japanese drum dance at a festival!"

Momo: A Japanese drum dance!?

Staff: Yes! Now, let's call the leader of the local youth group who made the request! Please come in!

Youth Group Leader: Heya, nice to meet you! ...Whoa! It really is Momo-san from Re:vale! Amazing! Your idol aura is off the charts!

Youth Group Leader: Woah, Riku-kun and Gaku-kun look so cool too! Can I please take a picture later?

Nanase Riku: Wah... Y-Yes! Sure thing!

Yaotome Gaku: Haha, aren’t you quite energetic.

Momo: He's so friendly!

Youth Group Leader: Thanks! It’s not just me, all the guys in our youth group pour their souls into this festival!

Momo: Wow! And you’re inviting us to a festival this spirited? I'm even more excited now!

Momo: Riku! Gaku! Let's make it more exciting together!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yeah!

Momo: First of all, could you tell us what kind of festival it is?

Youth Group Leader: It's an annual festival in our community! It's called the "Autumn Leaves Festival," and it's a traditional event we hold in autumn.

Momo: What, the day after tomorrow!? So we only have two days left!?

Youth Group Leader: I'm sorry it's right around the corner...!

Yaotome Gaku: We can handle it. Men burn brighter in the face of adversity.

Nanase Riku & Momo: So cool...!

Youth Group Leader: Everyone in town looks forward to the Autumn Leaves Festival even if it’s not a huge one with fireworks. The Japanese drum performance is the highlight of the event and it gets the crowd excited every year!

Momo: Sounds awesome! But can we really be in charge of such an important part of it?

Youth Group Leader: That's exactly why! This year is the Autumn Leaves Festival’s 100th anniversary so we wanna make it even more spectacular than ever.

Youth Group Leader: Momo-san, you're great at hyping up the crowds either at concerts or on TV. So everyone’s energy is surely gonna skyrocket if you’re there performing at the festival!

Youth Group Leader: We'd be very happy if you could help us...!

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: ...!

Momo: I can't help but get fired up when you put it like that!

Nanase Riku: Yes! And a Japanese drum performance sounds like it’s gonna be a lot of fun anyways…!

Yaotome Gaku: yeah, I’m pumped!

Momo: Alright then, let’s give it our best for the big performance the day after tomorrow! Let’s fire up the Autumn Leaves Festival with the best performance!!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yeah!!!

Momo: Oh, these outfits look really cool!

Momo: Don’t they look like we could put on a live performance wearing them?

Nanase Riku: Wow...! Momo-san, it looks so good on you! You too, Yaotome-san!

Yaotome Gaku: You too, Nanase. I think it’d be quite the artistic portrait to play Japanese drums in these fits.

Youth Group Leader: Everyone looks great in those outfits! So cool!

Momo: Thank you!

Youth Group Leader: Wow... I felt my heart race when you winked at me...! I’m kinda nervous...!

Yaotome Gaku: As expected of you, Momo-san. Your fan service is top-notch.

Momo: Wearing this outfit activated my switch.

Youth Group Leader: The outfits are fantastic, but the drums over there are what’s making me really excited!

Momo: I'm itching to practice already!

Youth Group Leader: I’m glad to see you so motivated, Momo-san! I’ll call the drum instructor right away.

Youth Group Leader: The Autumn Leaves Festival would be nothing without him! He's been playing the drums for 50 years! Here’s our instructor, Gen-san!

Gen-san: Nice to meet you all. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: Nice to meet you!

Nanase Riku: The fact that you’ve been playing for 50 years is seriously impressive…!

Gen-san: No, it's nothing. I just happened to pick up the drumsticks at my first Autumn Leaves Festival, and before I knew it, I reached this age.

Youth Group Leader: Everyone who performs the Japanese drum in this town learned the basics from Gen-san. I was still a kid when he first taught me...

Nanase Riku: It has quite a long history...!

Youth Group Leader: Of course! It's a traditional performance that’s been passed down through generations during the festival after all!

Yaotome Gaku: It's a big responsibility...

Momo: Yeah, but it makes me even more motivated. We'll put our hearts into playing the drum!

Gen-san: Thank you. I'm glad to hear that.

Gen-san: By the way, have any of you played the Japanese drum before?

Momo: I played a little during an elementary school sports festival... But I’ve never been taught properly.

Yaotome Gaku: I'm on the same boat over here...Oh, I did practice while playing a few rounds of taiko games before though… 

Momo: I'm good at those games!

Yaotome Gaku: You like playing games, don’t you?. ...But this might be different from the real deal…?

Momo: I seeeee! Yuki is complete ass at playing racing games and often ends up driving in reverse, but his real-life driving skills are top-notch…

Nanase Riku: I used to play with toy drums we had at home when I was little...

Gen-san: I understand. Let's start by learning how to stand.

Gen-san: Each one of you stands in front of a drum.

Gen-san: Momo-kun, you stand in front of the large drum in the center. Riku-kun and Gaku-kun, please stand in front of the medium-sized ones on each side.

Nanase Riku: Momo-san's drum is huge...!

Yaotome Gaku: It’s really impactful! It really feels like the main one.

Nanase Riku: Momo-san is in the center!

Momo: The center, huh! Re:vale doesn't really have that so it’s refreshing, I’m kinda happy!.

Nanase Riku: Well, us three are a special unit right now so we'll support you, Momo-san!

Momo: Thanks, Riku! Since I have you two supporting me, I need to do my best too.

Gen-san: Hmmm... I was going to teach you how to stand but you already look graceful. Maybe you should pull your shoulders back a bit to open your chests?

Momo: Opening our chest, huh…Like this? 

Gen-san: Ah… Yes, exactly. Your posture is good and so is your intuition. Riku-kun and Gaku-kun have a very upright standing posture, too.

Gen-san: And now, first bow to the drum before holding the drumsticks... 

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: ...

Gen-san: ...Oho. You've already done it.

Nanase Riku: Ah...! I’m sorry for doing it without your instruction...!

Yaotome Gaku: My body moved on its own...

Momo: Ahaha... I just wanted to greet the drums properly since they'll be helping us at the festival.

Gen-san: Fufu. No need to apologize… There's nothing more to say about your readiness.

Momo: ...Thank you very much!

Gen-san: Well then, you can finally pick up the drumsticks and start playing.

Gen-san: I apologize for the lack of practice time, but I'll teach you everything I can. So please look forward to the Japanese drum performance.

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: Yes! We're looking forward to working with you!

Momo: I'll pour my heart and soul into it so that the townsfolk can also call this year's Autumn Leaves Festival a good one!

Mr. Shimooka: Hi! Everyone, good evening! Welcome to another episode of "i-HAKE! ~Idol dispatch~"!

Audience: Kyaaaa…!

Mr. Shimooka: In this program, we send idols to help out with requests submitted by people from all over the country!

Mr. Shimooka: It’s a documentary-style variety show that follows them over the span of several days!

Mr. Shimooka: And this time ... we've got Momo-kun, Riku-kun and Gaku-kun in the studio with us!

Momo: Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone! It's finally Momo-chan's turn on Aihake! Let's have fun together!

Nanase Riku: Good evening! Please look forward to tonight!

Yaotome Gaku: Let's get pumped up!

Audience: Kyaaaaa…!

Mr. Shimooka: Yes, looking forward to it!

Mr. Shimooka: By the way, Momo-kun, you guys mentioned it was your first time playing Japanese drums, but you looked like a natural while standing in front of them!

Momo: Thanks! The historical drums and the beautiful costumes made me straighten my back. The drums lit up the town so brightly, I couldn’t lose to them. (1)

Momo: Actually, I was shaking a little bit when I stood in front of them!

Mr. Shimooka: You were shaking? Were you uncharacteristically nervous?

Momo: Uncharacteristically! I’m usually not this… nervous.

Mr. Shimooka: Ahaha!

Momo: More like I was shaking with excitement, I got goosebumps!

Nanase Riku: I get it! I was also overwhelmed standing in front of the drums!

Nanase Riku: And not just because of the size, but also the power they seemed to have...

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah, you couldn’t see it but you could feel its aura.

Momo: Only drums that have stood with the town's traditional events for many years could achieve that!

Mr. Shimooka: So you must have been under a lot of pressure, right?

Momo: Absolutely! The three of us kept pumping each other up to make it a success!

Mr. Shimooka: Ahaha! I can't wait to see what kind of performance you'll give us!

Mr. Shimooka: Let's let the audience see for themselves! On to the second half of the VTR! 

Dakadakadaka... Teketeketekete...!

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: Yoooo…!! Don, don, don... KA!!!

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: Huff, haa...

Momo: Phew... How was it?

Mr. Gen: ...Really, I'm surprised. You only held the drumsticks for the first time yesterday and yet you’re learning quickly. You made it all the way to the end without any mistakes.

Mr. Gen: Your drum strokes are good, I have high hopes for tomorrow's main event.

Nanase Riku: Thank you very much...!

Yaotome Gaku: But we’ve only just begun drilling the basics of how to play into our bodies.

Momo: …Yeah. I feel like we’re just at the starting line.

Momo: We need to synchronize more in the middle. We need to match the timing of our arm movements and angles.

Yaotome Gaku: I agree. We need to improve our precision. Can we slowly go over the movements once more?

Momo: Sounds good to me! Let’s start with this rhythm. Tan, tan, tan.

Yaotome Gaku: Got it!

Nanase Riku: Okay!

Momo: Raise your drums. Aim straight up... okay, your arms are at a perfect angle! Let’s not forget it!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yes!

Momo: Then, let’s hit it. One, two, go!

Don-!!

Momo: That’s it!

Don-!!

Momo: In tempo! 

Don, don!!

Momo: Eiyah...!

Don, don, don, don-!!!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: There, yes…! 

Takakatakakata...! Don, don, don!

Momo: Yup! Feels great!

Yaotome Gaku: We gotta keep the angle we’re at now.

Nanase Riku: We have to be careful not to drop our arms too heavily!

Momo: You’re right. I'll be careful too.

Momo: This is an important traditional performance that’s been passed down for many years after all. Let's make it the best one ever so we don’t disgrace the tradition!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yes!!

Mr. Gen: Thank you all for taking this seriously... I really appreciate it. I’ll make sure to be strict in my supervision.

Nanase Riku: Thank you very much! Let's go once more-

Nanase Riku: Hng...!

Momo: What’s wrong, Riku!?

Nanase Riku: A... ahaha... a blister on my palm just burst...

Momo: You’re right! Ouch, that looks painful...

Nanase Riku: Are you two okay though?

Momo: ... Looks like I’ve got some too.

Momo: Gaku’s hand is also covered…! Guess we’ve been going at it a bit too hard since yesterday.

Yaotome Gaku: Haha... No wonder, we were practicing way past midnight. I guess you get blisters when you keep hitting the drums like that.

Nanase Riku: But if we put on some band-aids and tape them up...

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah. We gotta do it. The real event is tomorrow.

Yaotome Gaku: Let’s resume practice after we tape up.

Momo: ...

Momo: Hey, why don’t we take a little break?

Nanase Riku: Huh? But the festival...

Momo: I know it's tomorrow! But I’m exhausted... Let’s go check out the festival site for a bit! Just for a bit, okay?

Momo: The venue is near. They’re setting up food stalls nearby, so I think it’s important to see the site.

Yaotome Gaku: Momo-san...

Momo: Please!

Yaotome Gaku: ...Okay. Checking out the festival’s atmosphere is just as important as the training itself.

Nanase Riku: Yes it is! Besides... ehehe, my arms are pretty stiff...

Momo: Thank you both...! Let's bandage up and get going!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yes!

Yaotome Gaku: Wow... the festival preparations are well underway!

Nanase Riku: They are! There are stalls everywhere... And a big stage!

Momo: That stage... Could it be where we’re gonna be performing!?

Yaotome Gaku: Yeah, it definitely is!

Nanase Riku: It’s bigger than I imagined...

Momo: They’ve also set up bonfires there! Does that mean they’ll light fire up on the day of the event? Amazing…!

Momo: And the falling autumn leaves are dancing... It’s so beautiful! No wonder it’s called the “Autumn Leaves Festival”!

Yaotome Gaku: Seeing a stage this grand…I’m even more pumped up...!

Nanase Riku: Haha... I can’t tell if I’m shaking from nervousness or excitement..!

Momo: ...Wait, Ah-!

Nanase Riku: A woman on the ladder…!

Yaotome Gaku: She’s going to fall...!

Elderly Board Member: Kyah...! 

Thud!!

Momo: That was dangerous…! A close catch! S-Sorry... I slipped on accident and—

Elderly Board Member: Ahhh! It’s Momo-chan from Re:vale!?

Momo: Yes! Hello! It’s Momo-chan from Re:valeee!

Elderly Board Member: Ah, ahhhhh…!

Nanase Riku: A-Are you okay!?

Yaotome Gaku: I’m glad you’re safe...!

Elderly Board Member: Gyah, it’s Riku-kun and Gaku-kun too!?

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: Yes!

Elderly Board Member: Ah! Now that you mention it... I’m pretty sure the kids over at the youth group said something about sending a request to Aihake...

Momo: That’s right! We’ll be in your care tomorrow!

Elderly Board Member: No, no, it’s my pleasure…! Thank you once again.

Momo: By the way, were you decorating with lanterns? This area is pretty large...

Elderly Board Member: Haha, it's a lot, right? It’s done by the local government officials, but we're doing it by hand so it takes time.

Yaotome Gaku: All of this…!

Nanase Riku: By hand...

Nanase Riku: Um, Momo-san…!

Momo: Mhm, I was thinking the same thing!

Nanase Riku & Yaotome Gaku: ...!

Momo: Excuse me. If it’s okay, can we help you with the decorations?

Elderly Board Member: What! But...

Momo: We’re allowed to participate in the festival, so we'd love to help with the preparations too. Right, guys?

Yaotome Gaku: Yes! We’re already participating, so we wanna be involved in the preparations.

Elderly Board Member: Are you sure...?

Nanase Riku: It’s always been a dream of mine to help decorate lanterns!

Elderly Board Member: A-A dream...?

Elderly Board Member: Well, if that’s what you want... That would be a huge help.

Momo: Leave it to us!

Momo: Alright! Let’s get to it!

Yaotome Gaku: Nanase and I will pass the lanterns and you can hang them, Momo-san.

Nanase Riku: Like a bucket relay!

Momo: Not quite, but close enough…So I’ll give you the OK!

Elderly Board Member: Wow… you're so fast! You all are so efficient…!

Momo: "Skilled! Fast! Meticulous!" That’s Momo-chan’s motto for anything!

Elderly Board Member: Ahaha! The most luxurious handyman in Japan!

Elderly Board Member: But you’re really helping us out. We were so short-staffed that even our kids were helping with the decorations.

Momo: Now that you say it… I noticed a mix of younger and older folks, turns out they were all your family!

Elderly Board Member: Yes. They said they volunteered to help because they’re very excited about the festival.

Nanase Riku: It’s just as the youth group leader said… the whole town is looking forward to it!

Elderly Board Member: Fufu. Everyone has been participating since they were kids.

Elderly Board Member: It’s also a special day, in a way.

Momo: Special?

Elderly Board Member: Yes. It might sound exaggerated, but festival days are like a break from everyday life. It’s an excuse to dress up and even invite someone special to you...

Elderly Board Member: …There’s a rumor that the youth group leader is planning to propose to his long-time girlfriend at tomorrow’s festival.

Nanase Riku & Momo & Yaotome Gaku: A proposal!?!?

Yaotome Gaku: …So that's why he’s so fired up?

Elderly Board Member: Ahaha. That might be part of it, but that’s not all! Well, I guess it shows how special the day is.

Momo: I see, that’s how important it is...

Nanase Riku: Momo-san?

Momo: Ah, well... I just realized once again how significant it is that they invited us for such a special day...

Momo: ...

Yaotome Gaku: Momo-san, the look in your eyes tell me you just came up with something.

Nanase Riku: You look kinda happy about it!

Momo: Ahaha, you can tell?

Momo: I’ve got an idea! I wanna discuss it with Gen-san and the leader!

End of Episode 2.

ㅤ

Nagi: Hi, everyone! I am Rokuya Nagi of IDOLiSH7!

Nagi: It’s finally my turn to participate in “i-HAKE! ~Idol dispatch~”.

Nagi: What great plans await me by this spacious lakeside, I wonder?

Nagi: Our magnificent assistant guests have arrived as well.

Staff: Eh!? No one has appeared yet, though!?

Nagi: Please take a closer look, my assistant is already nearby.

Kokona: Hello everyone! I’ll do my best today alongside Nagi-kun! Please cheer us on☆

Staff: Ah! This is… a stuffed toy from “Mahou Shoujo Magical☆Kokona”!?

Staff: I was about to ask what you were hiding behind your back, so it was a stuffed toy!

Nagi: This isn’t just a stuffed toy, it’s my beloved plush.

Staff: M-my apologies! But why is the Kokona plush here…? Along with an impressive camera, at that…

Nagi: Because there’s currently an ongoing campaign, “Let’s take pictures with Kokona plush and upload it to SNS☆”.

Nagi: You stand a chance to win a “Limited Edition☆Wall Canvas” in a lucky draw if you participate, so posting one post a day during the campaign period is a devotee’s task. I absolutely can’t miss it.

Staff: I see… I guess there’s no choice then.

Nagi: Thank you for understanding. Well then, I have to read through the request as fast as I can with my angel Kokona—

Mitsuki & Momo: Hang on a second—!

Nagi: Oh! Mitsuki and Mr. Momo! Why the panicked expression?

Momo: Don’t forget about your assistant guests…!

Mitsuki: …I can’t believe I played dumb and pretended like I forgot about my assistant guests for my own i-HAKE, and now I’m getting my payback…

Nagi: Sorry, I didn’t forget nor was I playing dumb, I simply got too excited with Kokona.

Nagi: I’m happy to be able to participate in this project with both of you.

Momo: Phew~ thankfully he didn’t forget about us…

Mitsuki: I was so nervous about that…

Mitsuki: Assistant guests, reporting for duty! Let’s do our best to make our presence known!

Momo: Yes…!

Staff: Ahaha! Looks like the assistant guests are united now, so please reveal the details of today’s request!

Mitsuki: Okay!

Momo: We’ll be revealing it now then! 3, 2, 1…

Mitsuki & Momo: The request for today is… “Please publicize a Scandinavian-style camping site!”

Nagi: A camping site, huh… So that’s why tents were built over there!

Nagi: Since it’s a Scandinavian style, does it mean that these things would be used in my home country as well?

Campsite owner: That’s right, the tents used are sturdy tents that can withstand even the coldest weather in Northmeir.

Nagi: Oh! And you are…?

Campsite owner: Hello! I am the owner of this campsite. Thank you all for visiting today!

Campsite owner: This is our small-sized family-owned campsite. We’ve been hoping that Nagi-kun from Northmeir would come here for a fun time, so we sent out a request!

Nagi: Please leave it to me, I’ll enjoy it to the fullest.

Nagi: But I’m not all too knowledgeable when it comes to camping.

Campsite owner: Don’t worry! Camping is an activity that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Campsite owner: If anything, we’d hope for those who rarely participate in outdoor activities to come in contact with nature and experience all it has to offer!

Momo: That’s right! Let’s all enjoy this together!

Momo: Mitsuki and I have drawn up all sorts of plans, we’ll make sure that you know about the joy of camping by the end!

Mitsuki: You’ll fall in love with camping too once this request is over.

Nagi: So you two will guide me through it! I’m looking forward to it!

ㅤ

Nagi: We’ve gotten into our camp costume! We’re ready!

Mitsuki: Woah Nagi, that really suits you! You look like a professional camper!

Momo: Although you suit formal wear well, you still look amazing in outdoor wear! You have a great physique after all~

Nagi: Thanks. The outfits suit both of you as well.

*Click*

Mitsuki: Ah! Our picture…!

Momo: Ahaha! Kokona is in the shot as well!

Nagi: Although it’s for the sake of the lucky draw, this sure is an outstanding location! Let’s make more memories here together!

Mitsuki: That’s right!

Mitsuki: Aside from the bell tent, the tables, decorations, and everything else have a Scandinavian feel to them as well!

Momo: Plus, the view here is gorgeous! Such a magnificent mountain and lake… it feels like time has slowed to a halt.

Campsite owner: I’m happy to hear you all say that! I hope that everyone can let go of their day-to-day frustrations here and feel comforted by the beauty of nature.

Nagi: Honestly, I’ve already felt plenty healed.

Nagi: Looking at the sunlight that peeks through the trees, listening to the gentle flow of the river and the lake… It reminds me of when I used to ride with my favorite horse, Rod Yule [1], by the lakeside in Northmeir.

Mitsuki: Now that you mention it, you did show me pictures of you riding a white horse!

Momo: How extravagant…

Nagi: It feels like I could even see the fairies in the woods of Northmeir still, the way they dance around innocently, being able to make the flowers bloom.

Mitsuki: Fairies? There are tiny fairies in Northmeir?

Nagi: Yes! Although they love to play pranks on you, they’ll silently assist you once you become their friend. They’re very gentle, and they’re deeply loved by everyone.

Mitsuki: Oh, I want to meet them~ If only there were fairies in this forest as well!

Nagi: Well then, you can gift the beloved fairies a gift as a sign of friendship.

Nagi: They love humans, so if you place a gift beside your tent, they just might notice it and come over to play.

Nagi: As for the gift itself… do gift them something that they’d like!

Momo: What do they like though? Sandwich cookies?

Nagi: Fairies absolutely love sweet snacks!

Mitsuki: Nagi, you’re just trying to collect the free stickers that come with the snacks, aren’t you!

Nagi: I just need one more to make my collection complete!

Momo: No wonder you’ve brought along some biscuits! I’m sure the fairies are praying that you get the sticker as well.

Mitsuki: Fairies, huh… I hope they’ll come to play with us at night!

Momo: Hey, that’s a Zashiki-Warashi [2], you know!?

Nagi: I know about Zashiki-Warashi! It’s a Japanese fairy.

Nagi: But even if they do visit at night, we won’t be able to see them… We’ll be at the hotel by then, after all.

Mitsuki: No, no! You’d have to sleep in the tents while you’re camping, of course!

Nagi: I thought that was just a tent for resting purposes… Then they’ll bring the beds over in a bit, right?

Mitsuki: We’ll be sleeping in our sleeping bags! Are you some sort of celebrity!?

Mitsuki: …hang on, you actually are a celebrity!

Momo: Mitsuki’s ability as a nori-tsukkomi [3] sure is impressive…!

Nagi: It used to be a small wooden hut, but it sure is wild this time…

Momo: This is a proper camping experience! If you want to experience all nature has to offer, then it’s definitely best to stay in a tent, don’t you think?

Momo: By the way, we’ll be preparing dinner on our own!

Nagi: What!?

Momo: So… here, this is for you!

Nagi: This rod… Are we about to go fishing?

Momo: Ding ding ding! There’s no way we’re not fishing when we’re camping by the lakeside!

Nagi: A living fish…!? I’ve never fished before…

Mitsuki: That’s alright! We’ll help you out!

Mitsuki: Getting a fire started and cooking the fish you’ve caught, it’s a delicious experience!

Nagi: Oh…!

Momo: Ahaha! Do you want to give it a try now? I’m already drooling at the idea of that!

Momo: All in all, let’s just give it a try!

Nagi: Yes!!

ㅤ

Nagi: Please look! There are so many fish swimming about!

Momo: You’re right! We’ve found a good spot! It feels like we’ll get a good catch here.

Mitsuki: Then let’s start fishing!

Momo: Yup! Hmm… the equipment and the bait are…

Mitsuki: Ah! They’re here!

Mitsuki: Oh, it’s live baits.

Nagi: Live baits?

Momo: You’re right. Earthworms are the bait, I see~

Nagi: …!?

Momo: Then let’s put them on the fishing rod…

Nagi: No…!!!

Mitsuki: Uwah!? Nagi, are you alright!?

Mitsuki: Oh no, he’s frozen in fear..!

Momo: Are you afraid of bugs!?

Nagi: …I can’t.

Nagi: I can’t stand bugs… Looks like I won’t be able to fish…

Momo: It’s rare to see Nagi make such a dejected expression…!

Momo: I’ve had a feeling about it, but you really are afraid of bugs huh…

Mitsuki: So it can’t be helped. But how did you know, Momo-san?

Momo: Maybe it’s due to Nagi’s image, but I can vaguely tell who’s afraid of bugs, to begin with.

Mitsuki: What kind of ability is that!?

Mitsuki: …let’s not talk about that for now, are you not going to fish with us, Nagi?

Nagi: Everyone has a different calling in life, and it seems like the calling I’ve been bestowed upon isn’t fishing, but is instead taking pictures of Kokona with everyone.

Nagi: Please enjoy, the both of you. The camera is calling me.

Momo: But it can’t be helped that you’re afraid of bugs…!

Mitsuki: …

Kokona: Nagi-kun, are you really going to give up!?

Nagi & Momo: …!?

Nagi: Pink twin tails…! This cute yet suave appearance is…!

Kokona: Nagi! You can do it because it’s you!

[1] - His horse’s name is ロッドユール in Japanese, but I actually have no idea what that is in English... I ran it through google translate as a last resort and it said Rod Yule so that’s what I went with.

[2] - (From Wikipedia) Zashiki-Warashi are yokai that live in parlors or storage rooms, that perform pranks, and that people who see one would be visited with good fortune. You can read more about them here
