Tamaki: ‘morning, Iorin and Isumin. Take care of me for today’s recording

Iori: Please, take care of me

Haruka: Take care of me

Tamaki: Isumin, you don’t look worried at all despite having to record with us. Is it because Tenten isn’t there?

Haruka: Whaat…?! I’m never worried! Also, there is no reason to be worried since it's you I have to record with

Iori: That’s because we’re quite used to seeing each other at school. Be sure not to replicate your scholastic behaviour during the recording

Haruka: I won’t. You should tell Yotsuba that…

Tamaki: Uh. Well then, about today’s recording, shall we give it a try?

Haruka: Wah…! That’s what Tanaka from physics class always says! 

Haruka: You suddenly imitated him!

Iori: Your scholastic behaviour is already coming out…

Tamaki: Fufu. The other day I practiced with our classmates 

Haruka: What kind of practice did you do? It was just like him! Ahahah….!

Iori: Is this for real? Stop getting excited about school stuff before work

Tamaki&Haruka: Well then, shall we give it a try?

Iori:....fufu

Haruka: Izumi is laughing as well!

Tamaki: We won!

Tamaki&Haruka: Yeah!

Iori: What kind of game are you playing?

Staff: Ahaha. I know you’re classmates, but you really get along!

Iori: I’m very sorry about the noise. We’ll get ready for the recording

Staff: Don’t worry, it perfectly fits with today’s location!  Since it’s an animal variety show, having fun is essential! 

Tamaki: Yes! Take care of me!

Haruka: ...I-I’ll do my best!

Staff: We’re relying on your energy!

Iori: At any rate, it’s a big petting farm 

Iori: It was written in the document that first of all we’ll take a tractor-trailer train and do a tour of the farm

Tamaki: We’ll take that huge thing which looks like a robot train! 

Haruka: Robot…? Aah, because of its big tires? It’s got carriages attached to it, and definitely gives the impression of a train

Staff: During the farm tour you’ll get to see many animals. Foals, llamas, alpacas, rabbits...and many others

Iori: Foals....

Tamaki: That’s good, isn’t it, Iorin? 

Iori:...what? Since it’s a petting farm, it’s  probably normal to see families of animals 

Staff: Oh, it seems that the tractor-trailer train is ready. The guide will be with us soon, so we can start the recording!

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Yes!

Staff: The recording is about to start! 3, 2, 1…!

*Brrrrrr*

Iori: Yotsuba san, Isumi san, look over there! There are many animals playing around! 

Haruka: Aah...The wind feels so nice, too!

Iori: Yes

Tamaki: Look! Those piglets are so cute! 

Haruka:...they really are! They get along, don’t they? There are some babies racing!

Iori:...nh!

Haruka: ...uh? What’s going on, Izumi?

Iori:...it’s nothing. It’s a sight that makes you smile, isn’t it? 

Haruka:...okay then

Tamaki: Ah! The smallest one is really closing the gap!

Tamaki: Looks like they’re rolling over and over! So cute!

Iori: Anyway, this place is really big. There are grasslands as far as the eye can see

Guide: The size of the ranch is also huge. We could definitely put 700 tennis courts in there 

Tamaki: 700!? Amazing!! Even if I don’t really get what it means…

Tamaki: But I understand it must be amazing!

Guide: Ahah! It’s okay if you think that this place is good enough to allow many animals to live comfortably 

Tamaki: Yeah!

Haruka: Ah! There’s a new place over there!

Haruka: What kind of animals will there be?

Guide: There are alpacas and other animals from the Andes over there 

Iori: Alpacas? They’re quite popular animals in Japan as well, aren’t they?

Iori: It’s nice to see them from the tractor, but is it actually possible to come into contact with them?

Guide: Of course! Okay, shall we do a stopover here?

Tamaki: Really!? Can we touch them!?

Guide: You can, since they’re just mild babies! 

Guide: Anyway they get scared quite easily, so please pet them gently 

Tamaki: Yes! Hooray! I can hardly wait! 

Iori: Eventually, we’ll really get to come into contact with animals

Haruka: So, alpacas are fearful. I hope we’ll get along well, so they won’t get scared

Haruka: Just to reassure them, I’ll be gentle

Riku: Touma, good morning! Take care of me for today’s recording!

Touma: Yo, Riku! Same here. It’s rare for us to be working together

Riku: That’s true! I really couldn’t wait for today!

Touma: Ahah! Me too

Staff: Good morning. You two really are on the same page! Take care of us today

Staff: We’re happy to have such joyful idols on our program!

Touma: What?  “Joyful”, what the…!

Riku: Eheh…! That’s quite embarrassing

Touma: I’m also happy you called us

Staff: Please, there's no need to be so modest! You’re very popular

Staff: “Look here!” is an afternoon news  variety program, but you have a huge popularity among the madames from our audience. 

Riku&Touma:Among the madames? 

Touma: Us? I thought someone like Tora or TRIGGER’s Tsunashi san would have been popular among the madames…

Riku: T-Tamaki wouldn’t lose! He also entered the ranking of the most desired men...!

Touma: What are you competing against!?

Touma: Hey, wait. The fact that we are popular among the madames means that our sex appeal came out before we knew it…?

Riku: Eh?! That’s…

Riku: But we are still in our growth period, it’s no wonder we don’t realize that our adult charm is increasing

Touma: But...I’m already twenty…

Riku: Well! Let’s go film with the awarness of our sex appeal!

Touma: No, no!  It’d be too bad to match sex appeal with a shopping mall in the middle of the day!

Riku: Ah, right...just like eating a kiwi together with coffee…?

Riku: Did you know? They taste so good together! 

Touma: About that, white wine and dried squid are also pretty amazing...the fishy smell spreads in my mouth…

Riku: White wine...! You really look like an adult, don’t you? Maybe that’s the reason why you're popular…?

Touma: R-really?... Eheh

Staff: Ahahah! These kinds of honest and a little misplaced conversations are also very popular among the madams!

Staff: Showing your cuteness without any filter is often appreciated 

Touma: What…? Cuteness…?

Riku: Wasn’t it sex appeal…?

Staff: Ah….sorry! We can call it charm…!

Staff: It seems that many people feel heartwarmed and happy at your interaction

Touma: Ahah, well!  I’m glad to hear that! What do you think, Riku?

Riku: Yes! We get along!

Riku: Somehow, I got more and more motivated! 

Riku: Let’s do our best at today’s location, Touma san!

Touma: Yo!

Shade in and out

Staff: Shooting is about to start! 3, 2, 1…!

Riku&Touma: Afternoon program “Look here!”  Let’s go!!!

Riku: Special correspondent from Idolish7 here! I’m Riku!

Touma: Another special correspondent here, Touma from ZOOL!

Riku: Today, we came to the hottest spot recommended by “Look here!” Now we are at a very popular shopping center!

Riku: It’s amazing! There are so many shops!

Touma: Since it’s a shopping center, you’ve hit the point! 

Riku: Ah...that’s true…!

Touma: Ahaha! Totally…!

Touma: The best thing about this season are these umbrellas decorating the sky! It looks like the sky is made of umbrellas!

Riku: It’s so colorful and beautiful…! Since the umbrellas are in such a cheerful lineup, the rainy days must be fun as well!

Touma: It’s a limited time decoration, so it also became a very popular photo spot!

Riku: You can take wonderful pictures here! 

Riku: In addition to the umbrella decorations, the shops also have a exotic atmosphere! And they are very fashionable

Touma: Also, walking around the shops, you can use an app on your smartphone and join the rally stamp event that's being held

Touma: Therefore, here’s the smartphone!

Riku: Ooooh

Touma: We’ll try to use the stamps too!

Riku: All right!!

Ciack!

Riku: When you buy or visit one of the shops, you receive a stamp from the app!

Touma: If you collect stamps from the four areas “gourmet”, “fashion”, “daily” and “services”, you can get a rich prize!

Touma: Also, it seems that a special stamp is also available! If you get that stamp, you can win a special prize!

Riku: It’s random! So exciting!

Touma: Isn’t it? I hope we can get that stamp… It's a hard challenge!

Riku: Let’s get it!  I feel like we can make it, the two of us together!

Touma:...aah! Let’s immediately start the stamp rally! 

Riku: Yes! Let's go and conquer many shops! 

Touma: Okay! 

Ryunosuke: Fuu…the program is about to start. The Werewolf game will be finally solved

Ryunosuke: I still can’t make any predictions…

Torao: What an actor you’d be, if it turns out to be you

Nagi: In mystery novels, the guilty party is often somebody who seemed quiet and harmless

Ryunosuke: What!? Am I really that suspicious…

Nagi: Who knows?

Torao: We shouldn't show our cards before the game

Ryunosuke:....got it. The game is about to start

Torao: I won’t lose

Nagi: I look forward to see how long this allowance will last

Ryunosuke: I…I won’t lose either!

Staff: Are you ready? We’re about to start filming!

Nagi&Ryunosuke&Torao: Yes!

*Shade in and out*

Host:...speaking of which, let’s have a look at the chosen antiques!

Host: Rokuya Nagi chose a paper knife, Tsunashi Ryunosuke a tea set and Midou Torao a flower pot!

Host: Which one will be the fake item that looks like a real one? Then, who will be the Werewolf who chose it…?

Host: Rokuya Nagi, please give us your answer!

Nagi:  I choose…

Host:...you choose!?

Ryunosuke&Torao:...ugh

Nagi: Tsunashi shi’s tea set!

Ryunosuke: What!? My…

Nagi: Yes! This item has been imitated so often that I think it’s difficult to distinguish it from the real thing

Nagi: The crest on the bottom of the cups indicates it’s from the 1700s, but it could be a counterfeit product that was in circulation back then

Ryunosuke: Is that so? That’s very informative…but I won’t admit it, of course!

Nagi: The fact you don’t want to admit it is just another proof of guilt

Ryunosuke:...!

Torao: Ryunosuke, which one do you think is the fake item?

Ryunosuke: Well…actually, each of them is so wonderful I got lost once again. But I thought about it properly, in my own way

Ryunosuke: I think Torao kun’s flower pot is suspicious!

Torao: Why?

Ryunosuke: There are many people who produce imitations of this kind of flower pot. Also, it’s so fine and splendid I’m sure many people would want it

Nagi: There are certainly many copies of this model on the market 

Torao: Are you sure about your answer? If you want to change it, do it now

Ryunosuke: I’m sure! A man doesn’t go back on his word!

Torao: Mpf, you lost the bet. No matter how you look at it, the fake item is Rokuya Nagi’s paper knife

Ryunosuke: What!?

Nagi: Hm. May I ask you why?

Torao: It’s true it looks old-fashioned, but both scratches and discoloration may be fabricated. It’s obvious it has been made recently

Nagi: Midou shi, I don’t know you that well but I thought you had a decent eye. What a shame

 Nagi: By the way, I want to give you the chance to change your answer

Torao: There’s no need to. I trust my eyes

Nagi: As you prefer

Ryunosuke: You two are so confident…!

Host: Okay, everybody gave their answer. It’s time to announce the solution!

Host: The Werewolf who chose the fake item is…

Ryunosuke:....ugh

Torao:.....

Nagi:.....

Host: Rokuya Nagi, who chose the paper knife!

Ryunosuke&Torao:....!

Nagi: Oh no!!  I got caught…

Nagi: You’re the first one who found out I was the Werewolf! Good game!

Torao: Ahahah! Yeah…!

Ryunosuke: Nagi kun really was the Werewolf…?

Ryunosuke: Your words were so convincing and confident I didn't get it all!

Torao: Honestly, I was half bluffing too

Ryunosuke:...! Even you?

Torao: There was no sign of a lie in Nagi Rokuya’s words. Most people would have believed him

Torao: I would have been in trouble too if it was a classic Werewolf game, with no item in front of me

Nagi: Fufu. I’ll take all these compliments

Nagi: Also, as Midou shi said, I didn’t tell a single lie

Torao: Mh?

Ryunosuke: What do you mean?

Nagi: Of course, this paper knife isn’t old. It’a a new item that looks antique

Nagi: But it doesn’t matter if it’s a new product, since it’s undoubtedly wonderful

Nagi: I think this paper knife is great!

Ryunosuke: Ah…

Torao: That’s a good thing to say. I agree with you on this one

Ryunosuke: Yes… all the items we picked are wonderful. No matter if old or new

Nagi: Yes. Even if it’s new, I hope this paper knife will be handled with care from now on, for a long time

Nagi: It will become a splendid antique one day

Torao: I agree 

Nagi: And since I lost this Werewolf match…I’ll ask you both for a revenge one!

Nagi: A classic one, next time!

Ryunosuke: What!?

Torao: Mpf, you got guts. You’re gonna lose next time as well

Nagi: You’ll join us too, Tsunashi shi. I look forward to the day of my revenge!

*Cut to the inside of the shop*

Ryunosuke: Wah, this shop is amazing! There are so many western antiques.

Ryunosuke: Each of them seems to have a lot of history, they’re magnificent. They look like something you would find in an European castle

Nagi: Yes. Their owners must have treated them with great care

Torao: Beside furniture, there are also tableware and bisque dolls…

Nagi: I don’t know what to choose

Ryunosuke:....

Ryunosuke:....ugh….fuu….

Torao: What happened, Ryunosuke? You’ve been extremely restless from the moment we entered the shop

Nagi: Hm…he’s definitely different from usual. Looks like he’s worried about something…

Nagi: Maybe there’s something he’s trying to hide…?

Torao: For example…a wolf’s tail?

Ryunosuke: What!? A wolf…! Wait, do you suspect me to be the Werewolf?!

Nagi&Torao: ……

Ryunosuke: I…I’m not the Werewolf!

Ryunosuke: It’s just because there are so many expensive objects in here…I’m still worried because I almost hit something with my arm…

Torao: Ahah. Denying it makes you even more suspicious

Ryunosuke: But…

Nagi: Fufu. Let’s leave it at that for now

Nagi: We haven’t chosen the antiques yet. It’s not too late to judge after we've seen the objects

Torao: You’re right

Ryunosuke: What we choose is important because the Werewolf is going to choose fake items. Ugh, I’m so worried I feel lost

Torao: Well, if you feel so lost I should be the one who starts. Okay…

Torao: I’ll go for this flower pot

Nagi: You’ve got very good taste. Is it an art nouveau flower pot? The flowers and the butterflies engraved on the glass are beautiful

Ryunosuke: It’s quite big…It looks like an ornamental for a hotel lobby or something like that

Ryunosuke: Since you’ve chosen a flower pot I wonder if you usually do flowerly decoration

Torao: I’m not the one doing it, but there’s always some kind of flower arrangement at the entrance of my house and in the living room

Torao: That’s why it attracted my attention somewhat. I’m not interested in flowers

Ryunosuke: Got it! It’s good that you have plants in your rooms! I grow some house plants too

Nagi: Oh! I also grow house plants together with Mitsuki!

Ryunosuke: Really? What kind of plants?

Nagi: It’s the green onion Mitsuki uses for cooking. After we planted the roots he didn’t use for cooking in a planter, they grew steadily

Nagi: If you watch over their growth, your affection for them starts to rise. Occasionally Yamato and Sogo talk to the green onion too, when they’re drunk

Ryunosuke: A green onion…?

Torao: Is it like a scallion? Well, is there any difference between plants?

Ryunosuke:  Giving love more than eating them, talking about scallions…you’re really all-rounders!

Ryunosuke: I’m glad we all love plants! It’s something we have in common

Torao: Enough talking about plants, shall we keep looking for antiques?

Ryunosuke: Ah, you’re right! We still need to find ours…!

Nagi: Since Midou shi chose an interior, we shall look for something different…

Nagi: For example a utility good

Ryunosuke: A utility good?

Nagi: Yes, like this paper knife! It's a wonderful item!

Torao: Is it made of brass? The handle is also decorated with fine details

Ryunosuke: It’s really a luxurious one! It looks old fashioned, or rather, like it’s been used for a long time

Nagi: Because it’s a utility good, it’s something you like and want to keep with you as long as possible. It truly becomes a part of yourself

Nagi: The true worth lives in things that have been passed on with care

Ryunosuke: What a good thought! Utility goods are probably happy to be treated with care

Torao: Well. I agree with this thought. But…

Nagi: What?

Torao: No, never mind. But rather, Ryunosuke…have you chosen your item?

Ryunosuke: Well, honestly…I’m still lost

Ryunosuke: I’ll go for this tea set! It may be a little too classy for me, though

Torao: A tea set? That’s unexpected…

Ryunosuke: It’s because I drink tea together with Gaku and Tenn, after a meal. It’s not that we’re particularly picky about tableware, but I thought it would be fine to have three matching cups…

Ryunosuke: Wah, it’s so expensive…! There are so many zeros…!

Nagi: It’s probably due to the fact it’s old. This manufacturer has been offering its products to royal families and aristocracy for hundreds of years, mostly in the West area

Torao: It has good usability as well,  isn’t that good?

Ryunosuke: Y-you two are amazing…!

Nagi: Okay, so we've all picked up our antiques! The arrangement for the game is complete!

Torao: Now we can finally look for the Werewolf

Ryunosuke: I wonder who it could be…

Torao: We’re supposed to check the answers in the studio

Nagi: I can’t wait!

Ryunosuke: I’m so nervous…

Nagi: VTR’s spectators, please try to guess who the Werewolf is!

*City street*

Ryunosuke: Ugh, it’s so cold… there’s such a cold wind today…

Ryunosuke: Oh, hello guys! I’m sorry you had to wait in the cold!

Torao: Ah, Ryunosuke! It’s okay, I just got here

Nagi: No problem! It’s still early

Nagi: Also, it’s not that cold. It looks like spring in North Meir

Ryunosuke: I knew North Europe was cold, but I had no idea how much! You’re really resistant to cold, Nagi kun. I always tremble when the wind blows

Nagi: I think it’s the same when I see you laughing under the summer sun, while I complain because of the sunshine

Nagi: Apparently, we’re resistant to different things

Ryunosuke: Ahah, you’re right!

Torao:....

Ryunosuke: Ah, Torao kun! You’re very quiet, is everything alright? Are you cold?

Torao: Ah, no…it’s not that…

Torao:.... Torao:...Ryunosuke, is there something you want?

Ryunosuke: What!?

Torao: You said you’re cold. I’ll buy you a hot coffee.

Torao: Maybe a down coat? There is a brand whose designer is an acquaintance of mine. It’s the kind of thing you could wear in the middle of winter in Manhattan as well

Ryunosuke: Ah, there’s no need to…! It’s cold, but I'm wearing a coat…!

Nagi: Midou shi! If you want to go shopping, I think the complete Kokona BD box with the director’s cut is a good idea! It could be a good way to reward yourself

Torao: What are you saying?

Nagi: Oh! Aren’t you planning to buy something for yourself?!

Torao: For myself…? Actually, it was just for Ryunosuke…

Ryunosuke:...ah

Ryunosuke: Torao kun, don’t be so petrified. Take it easy and enjoy the shooting!

Ryunosuke: I can’t wait to reach the location with you guys! 

Torao: Ryunosuke….thank you

Torao: Take care of me today

Ryunosuke: Yes!

*Wind blowing sound*

Ryunosuke: Ugh…it’s so cold…!

Nagi: Are you that cold? Well, it can’t be helped

Nagi: Please use this, both of you. Only for this special occasion

Torao: A body warmer? So, when you said you were fine you were actually using this stuff

Ryunosuke: A Kokona chan body warmer! It’s so warm…Thank you both, Nagi kun and Kokona chan!

Nagi: You’re welcome! Together with Kokona you can beat any enemy, including cold!

Staff: Ah, here you are! Sorry you had to wait in the cold. Take care of us for today’s theme: “Discovery! Antique treasures”

Nagi&Ryunosuke&Torao: Take care of us!

Staff: The location is the antique shop over there.  Please start with showing us the exterior of the shop and explain the purpose of the project

Staff: We’ll start filming now!

Nagi&Ryunosuke&Torao: Yes!

Staff: Shooting is about to start!  3, 2, 1…

Ryunosuke: Hello! Today we’ll do a report for the branch-off edition of “Discovery! Antique treasures” 

Ryunosuke: I’m Tsunashi Ryunosuke, from TRIGGER…

Nagi: Hi! I’m Rokuya Nagi, from Idolish7!

Torao: Hello, I’m Midou Torao from ZOOL.  Today we depend on this antique shop

Ryunosuke: It’s such an elegant shop! From the window, we can see some valuable furniture and general merchandise 

Nagi: I think we can chance upon some wonderful treasures! In this section you can look for your favorite antiques!

Torao: But that’s not the only thing we’re going to do today

Ryunosuke: Exactly! In addition to the searching for our favorite antiques, we’ll play the Werewolf Game

Nagi: Exciting!  I’m good at it!

Nagi: I’ve never lost a match against my online friends!

Torao: So, Rokuya Nagi is an expert? What kind of game is that?

Nagi: OK! Let’s start with the rules, then

Nagi: First of all, players are divided into Villagers and Werewolf. Then, since the Werewolf hides among the Villagers and eats people, you need to discover who it is!

Nagi: If they discover who’s the Werewolf, the Villagers win. On the other hand, if the Werewolf eats everybody, it’s the winner

Torao: Got it. It’s easy. 

Ryunosuke: It’s easy, but I feel nervous. If I turn out to be the Werewolf, I must pay attention not to be discovered…

Ryunosuke: I’m not good at lying or cheating…

Nagi: It’s not like you’re lying! It’s just enjoying a tactic of the game

Nagi: By the way, today’s Werewolf Game will be a little different than usual. Our main focus is looking for antiques

Ryunosuke: It seems so! Firstly, the three of us needs to look around for our favorite antiques

Ryunosuke: But only the reporter who plays the Werewolf can choose the items in advance

Ryunosuke: Inside the shop there are some fake antiques mixed together with other genuine articles. The Werewolf has to choose one of those items

Nagi: Hm..then we need to judge the items and understand which ones are fake, right?

Torao: I understand. The one who chooses one of those item is automatically the Werewolf

Torao: That’s how we’ll figure out who it is

Ryunosuke:...just as I expected from the two of you! It’s correct!

Ryunosuke: The production will choose who’s the Werewolf. Then they will secretly reveal it to the Werewolf only

Ryunosuke: Ugh…I’m so nervous…

Nagi: I’m excited!

Torao: Okay, I understand the rules. Sounds pretty interesting

Torao: Since I was a child, I've only seen genuine items. I’m confident both in judging antiques and applying tactics

Nagi: It’s gonna be an exciting game!

Ryunosuke: I’m worried, but…I’ll do my best! Let’s make it a wonderful game!

Ryunosuke: Let’s start with the research!

Nagi: YES

Torao: Fine

Staff: I’ll temporarily stop the camera! Good job!

Touma: Good job!

Riku: Good job! I was really shocked when the special stamp came out for real!

Touma: That’s for sure! I mean, did it really come out?!  It ain’t a shooting specification or something?!

Staff: Ahah, we didn’t prepare anything! The app’s lottery is entirely random 

Touma: Woah...amazing…!

Riku: We’re very lucky!

Touma: So true! We really got it!

Riku&Touma: Yes! Wooo!

*click*

Staff: Ahah, now that you did such a beautiful high touch, we can keep on recording…

Touma: Now then...Are we supposed to exchange the prize after the recording is over? What’s the prize you get with the special stamp?

Staff: You will get a picture taken by a photo studio, under the umbrella sky

Riku: Wah! A professional's going to take a picture of us! It will be a special memory 

Staff: Yes, it seems like it’s very popular among the customers

Touma: Well, we’ll also get one now!

Staff: That would also be beautiful, but this time we’re planning to change the content of the prize into a recording for the program 

Staff: We talked to the studio’s photographer and he already accepted enthusiastically 

Riku&Touma: What?

Shade in and out

Staff: Okay, let’s resume the recording! 3, 2, 1…

Touma: Okay, let’s introduce the special prize we got with the special stamp! The prize is… ta-daah!

Riku: You get to have your picture taken under the umbrella sky by a professional photographer!

Riku: Since today there’ll be a special version, we’ll be taking a selfie instead! That picture will become a present for the spectators!

Riku: We’ll do our best to take a wonderful pic!

Touma: So, we should apply the selfie stick into the camera… I’ve never done it before, is it okay that way?

Riku: I...I think it is!

Touma:  Oh, it stuck in nicely!

Touma: We also received some tips on how to take the shot, it should be fine like that!

Riku: How to let in the light, how to hold the phone! We learned a lot thanks to their explanations 

Riku: Also, our prettiest angles! 

Touma: It was interesting, wasn’t it? I’ve never thought about which side of my face was the best one before 

Riku: They told you your left side is the best, didn’t they? 

Touma: I have no idea, but if a professional says so…

Touma: Which of your sides is the best, according to them?

Riku: It seems it’s the right one!

Touma: Really? The opposite one!

Touma: From which angle should we take the picture, then…

Riku:...got it! Let’s meet in the middle and just take the shoot from the front!

Touma: You’re right! Typical of you, Riku…

Touma: Then we’ll both look good!

Riku: Ah! That’s true!

Touma: Ahaha...absolutely. Anyway, I’ll take many pictures from different angles!  If we go wild taking pictures, we’ll get at least one good shot!

Riku: Let’s do that!

Touma: Well… shall I take it?

Touma: Ah!!

*click click click click…!*

Riku: Oh!

Riku: Wah!

Riku: Rapid shots!?

Riku: That’s what you meant when you said “I’ll take many pictures”...!?

Touma: I-I didn’t…! It seems I somehow touched something I shouldn’t have...

*click click click click click click click….!*

Riku: Ahahah!

Touma: Woh, it finally stopped! I-I was freaking out! 

Touma: Before giving us tips on the shooting method, I wish they explained how to use this selfie stick! 

Riku: But we took a lot of pictures! It was a big success!

Riku: There’ll definitely be a good shot among them!

Touma: I guess so! But it’s difficult to tell, since I took too many…

Riku:....! Ahahah! Look at this one…! We both have our eyes half closed! 

Touma: Damn! This one can’t be shown on TV…

Touma: Ah! On the contrary, this one is pretty good! We both look good, and you were also making a peace sign! 

Riku: You’re right! We can proudly give this one as a present!

Touma: All’s well that ends well! Everyone, please apply for the present!

Riku: Please, be sure to get our two shot!

Haruka: Wah…!!

Tamaki: Ah! The alpacas are eating up your food!

Alpaca: Baa, baa~!

Haruka: L-let me go..! Aaah…!

Haruka: D-don’t lick…!

Tamaki: Ahahah! Another one just came to lick your arm!

Haruka: “Fearful”, my foot! I’m the one who’d like to be treated gently!

Iori: Alpacas really took a liking to Isumi san, didn't they? Being surrounded by so many soft creatures…

Tamaki: You’d like that, uh, Iorin? Who knows, maybe Isumin has a nice smell

Haruka: What kind of smell do alpacas like?!

Haruka: Anyway, don’t just stand there! Help me! 

Alpacas: Baa~~~~!

Iori:.....!? More of them are coming….!

Iori:  If we don’t rescue Isumi san, he’ll definitely reach his limit!

Tamaki: Oi, you guys! You’re scaring Isumin, so let him go, okay?

Haruka: W-whaat?! These hairballs are not scary at all! Help me get rid of them!

Alpacas: Baa~?

Haruka:....uh!?

Iori: Ah! Isumi san’s face…!

Tamaki: Isumin, your face is covered in drool!

Staff: Cut! Thank you, that was a nice shot! 

Staff: I need to check the camera! Let’s take a break!

Tamaki: Ah! The alpacas are finally going away!

Haruka: U-uh..

Iori: Isumi san, here you go. A towel from the staff

Haruka: Thanks…. I didn’t ask to risk my life...

Tamaki: Amazing, Isumin.You really opened your heart!

Tamaki: Alpacas are full of curiosity, but it seems that they really are timid animals

Haruka: Not at all!

Iori: ….Yotsuba san, are you familiar with the attitude of alpacas?

Tamaki: Well… when they chose the recording topic, I went to borrow a book about animals together with Sou chan

Tamaki: Also, they are tidy animals. They even choose their toilet! So clever!

Iori: Is that so? You’re very well prepared

Tamaki: Fufu. Aren't I great? Iorin, praise me!

Haruka: Then, praise me too! I really did my best when I put my own life at risk!

Iori: What are you saying, right in the middle of the recordings? I shall pass

Iori: Anyway, it’s not bad that you got ready for the shooting and put your own life at risk 

Tamaki: What…? Praise me in a way that is easier to understand!

Haruka. Uff. So stingy.

Iori: What’s with this trend 

Staff: I finished checking the camera. The recordings turned out amazing!

Staff: Now it’s time to move to another place and record a sheep shearing experience!

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Yes!

Cut to a sheep pen

Staff: Recording is about to start! 3,2,1…!

Iori: This is the sheep area. We’ll get to experience shearing sheep in there 

Farm staff: Since it’s your first shearing experience, I’m here to support you! Take care of me

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Please, take care of us!

Sheeps: Maa~!

Tamaki: There are so many sheep! Ahah, there are little ones as well! Cute!

Iori: Parents and children are eating grass side by side. It’s a sight that makes you smile

Haruka: Ah! Look at that sheep over there, in the back! It’s huge!

Iori: It really is...It’s difficult to see from here, but it looks way bigger than the sheep next to it

Farm staff: He’s the big boss here! His name is also Leader!

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Leader….

Tamaki: Just like Yama san?

Iori: This leader looks ferocious, doesn’t he?

Tamaki: So, are there leaders among sheep? But it was written in my book that there are no such things in a herd

Farm staff: Ahah, you know a lot! Just as you said, sheep are animals that move in herds, but basically there is no leader among them 

Farm staff: But if another animal joins the herd, there’ll be one

Haruka: Ah! For example, a shepherd dog...?

Farm staff: Exactly!

Haruka: Fufu

Iori: Understood… the shepherd controls the shepherd dog and makes the herd move

Iori: You can move a large number of sheep with minimal effort

Farm staff: Ohoh! You’re all very sharp!

Tamaki: Iorin is definitely clever!

Tamaki: Iorin has a way of praising that is difficult to understand, but I do praise him anyway! 

Iori: I praised you earlier, wasn’t it enough!? W-wait! Stop stroking my head! 

Tamaki: Ahah! Iorin, your hair’s a mess

Iori: Guess who’s to blame… Isumi san too, what do you think you’re doing with that hand?! 

Haruka: I-it’s a variety show, so I felt like I should’ve stroked your head as well…

Iori: That’s unnecessary…!  By the way, we ended up going off topic! Let’s return to the main subject!

Tamaki&Haruka: Yes!

Farm staff: Despite being a sheep, our Leader is more energetic and strong than the shepherd dogs around there! Even the farm staff has difficulty with him…

Farm staff: We’d like you to help us shear wool from our Leader…!

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Eh…!?

Farm staff: When he notices he’s about to be sheared, he always runs away. That’s why we’re asking you to work together with us, in order to capture Leader!

Iori: He’s a challenging sheep even for the farm staff, how can we…?

Haruka: It’s fine! We can do it! I have no idea what sort of leader he is, but I’m sure he can’t be scarier than alpacas 

Iori: Isumi san, alpacas really scared you earlier…

Haruka: I’m not scared at all! 

Tamaki: Ahah, can’t wait! We have the chance to get along with this place’s leader! 

Iori:...Yes. That’s true. 

Haruka: Yes. Let’s do our best.

Iori&Tamaki&Haruka: Yeah..!

At the department music studio

Narrator: 11 days before the actual filming, Yuki san, Osaka san and Natsume san visited the department's music studio. 

Narrator: How will they create the special medley? Let’s take a peek at the site

Minami: ….are you really convinced that this song order is fine?

Yuki: Of course. The songs we’ve been asked to perform by the program are Monster Generation, Silver Sky and Poisonous Gangster

Yuki: Talking about these songs, Monster Generation should be the opening. I’d like to start the medley with the uplifting feeling that such a happy melody can give 

Minami: Precisely because we have these songs, shouldn’t we end the medley with the cheerful Monster Generation?

Minami: The opening, therefore, should be Silver Sky

Sogo: Ah….

Sogo:...please, wait, both of you!

Yuki: Sogo kun, don’t stop us

Minami: Yes. This is a necessary dispute

Sogo: No, it’s not that...I…

Sogo:....I was just wondering if it would sound good to be daring and start from Poisonous Gangsters…!

Yuki: What?

Minami: Wouldn’t it be a madley that emphasizes unexpectedness, that way?

Minami: Choosing between these songs, it’s more effective to use Poisonous Gangsters as a projectile

Yuki: I agree with Natsume kun. Rather than unexpectedness, I want to increase the euphoria by starting from a classic entrance 

Yuki: Because this time it’s going to be a one night only medley 

Sogo: ….precisely because it’s a one night only medley

Sogo: I want it to be as provocative as it is classic!

Yuki:......

Minami:....we have quite different opinions, don’t we?

Yuki: Shall we take a break?

Sogo: Y-yes…

Narrator: Unfortunately, they had completely different opinions. They all exited the studio

Narrator: Will the special medley be a success after all?

*door opens*

Yuki: I’m here. Were you already back?

Minami: Yes.  I was able to collect my thoughts during the break

Yuki: Same here. I thought about an arrangement which fits everybody’s opinion 

Sogo: I...did the same!

Minami: What did you come up with?

Yuki: Well. Firstly, I came to the conclusion the opening song we argued about is not such a big deal

Minami: Yes, I thought the same. First of all, I wondered if we can have a consultation starting from the selection of the songs to be included in the medley 

Minami: A medley is one song. In order to make the music composition lively, I would like to reconsider the starting point

Sogo: Reviewing the songs’ assortment itself… that should work!

Sogo: I was wondering if it would sound good to mix 3 songs and mash them up 

Minami: ….! That’s interesting

Yuki: Reconsidering the songs, mashing them up as needed...yes, that’s okay

Yuki: But that’s against the program’s wishes. Let’s try talking to them

Sogo: Yes!

Minami: Then, once again, we’ll start with the selection of the candidate music

Yuki: Precisely because it’s a one night only medley…

Yuki: Let’s give to the audience a wonderful medley 

Sogo&Minami: Yes!

Back to recording day

Sogo:....!

Host: We understand that you dealt with a really special medley. It was a wonderful VTR.

Host: Now, let’s immediately move to the medley’s execution! 

Sogo: Yuki san, sorry….!

Yuki: What?

Sogo: Watching the VTR…. I really have spoken in such a rude way to a great senior of mine…!

Minami: Oh, dear. Weren’t you aware of that?

Sogo: U-uh….Since I was only thinking about the medley, I acted without thinking...

Yuki: Why are you apologizing? It was cool 

Sogo: What?

Yuki: Didn’t we create an amazing medley? In the process of creation, there is no need to compromise and go along with what others say

Minami: This is true. Thanks to you, we completed a wonderful medley 

Sogo: Ah....

Yuki: Sogo kun, I’ll give you an A

Sogo: Really…? I’m happy…!

Sogo: Thank you!

Minami: Let’s perform our medley quickly 

Yuki: Yes. Let’s do it wholeheartedly, in order to make many people happy
