Monday of Appreciation: Part 106
Hello everyone, Smite here!
Tumblr media
I have returned with the (not yet annual) release of MoA. When you look at the release dates of some of these stories, you might realize how fucking far behind I am. The back log is literally at 100+ fics that I still want to check out, so please excuse this time capsule lmao.
No matter how old they might be, these fics are golden, so send the writers some love!
(Update: currently sinking into IRL work but also into waaaaaay too long fics. I promise I will give it my all to finish some of them in the next to weeks, but other things have priority rn)
-1-
@ggidolsmuts: Move ft. Nana (woo!ah!)
There is a disturbing lack of Nana fics (geez, Smite, write them yourself then! - shut up, inner voice!). I have to thank ddeun once more for keeping us well fed. Nana's move(s) and shifty facial expressions (from cute to deadly) can really leave a man stunned.
I want more Nana.
-2-
@essentiallyleaf: Kinktober Day 16 ft. Choi Yujin (TW)
The Trigger Warning is there for a reason.
Unique execution on writing. This fic might not consider all the moral implications a sexual relationship between siblings might have, but not everything has to be a case study... this more a study of, I guess, let's fuck Yujin no matter the blood coursing through our veins.
I get it, ngl.
-3-
@worldsover: Completeness ft. Mashiro, Yeseo
The Mashiro/Yeseo combo is so thick, it should be banned for being too overpowered - or at least it has to be stripped from the hands of the great Levi because otherwise I have to ask for more, more, MORE of this. Hell, I can barely think about anything but their bodies wtf
-4-
@praeluxius: Red Wine ft. Karina, Natty
Speaking of insane bodies, you are all of course familiar with the meta-defining Karina but have you considered Natty? How about both? At the same time??? Thank you and what in the fuck, Prael, for a very intoxicating threesome.
-5-
@syeollock: Fallen Angel ft. Hyewon
Yo, I know this fic! I'm very glad @syeollock was able to kick of their writing career with this it. I feel honored that I was able to help, but they were the one who came up with the idea and executed it very well. It's a pleasure to still see so much IZ*ONE content.
-6-
@birchleavesdawn: Breakfast in Bed ft. Ireh (Purple Kiss)
Very simple, though it is not simple to get that many notes with a very nugu idol. I gotta give my props, I understand were it is coming from and I'm really craving some Ireh for desserts.
-7-
@tothosewhoyearnforit: Stress Relief ft. Yeji
Relatable. The stress, I mean. I've never been a fan of leather outfits, I just find most others better, but holy fuck, the boots, the slut drop, the overall style... this Yeji was something else.

Designs of Happiness - Track A04
L4mps Main Story Translation
Tumblr media
Title: Sugarael's Sincere Request
Characters: Daniel, Toi
Summary: Daniel and the protagonist are suddenly cornered by men in white robes, when a pet robot arrives to guide them inside...
JP Proofreading: aca @463ce6 on twt EN Proofreading: jes @arcanecrayonn on twt
Tumblr media
Location: Fortune-Teller’s Parlor “Angel Eye”
Momiji: W-What do you want from us?
Tumblr media
Daniel: Cornering us like this, you guys sure ain’t hospitable.
White-robed man A: Hmm… They look exactly like how our Master foretold.
If player character is female: White-robed man B: Indeed. A young woman who seems good-natured and a man who looks like a bear. Momiji: Good-natured..? I’m being complimented for some reason… 
If player character is male: White-robed man B: Indeed.  A young man who looks softhearted, and another who looks like a bear. Kaede: L-Looks softhearted…?
Daniel: They callin’ me a bear?
Momiji: I think so… 
White-robed man C: You are to come with us.
White-robed man A: You have no right to refuse, come here!
Momiji: Ah..!
Tumblr media
Daniel: Hey buster, don’t you lay a hand on my subordinate.
White-robed man A: Ouch ouch OUCH!!! MY FINGERS!!
Momiji: Please stop this! At this rate, you’ll break his fingers clean off!
Daniel: I think he could lose one or two. This is just self-defense after all.
Momiji: You shouldn’t! C’mon, let go of him!
Daniel: Hmph.
White-robed man A: Ugh… it hurts… 
Momiji: I feel sorry for him… The rest look too afraid of Daniel’s brute strength to approach… They look suspicious at first but they might just be regular citizens… 
Tumblr media
Daniel: Let me guess, yer probably thinking somethin’ like “Maybe these folks ain’t so bad”. Give me a break. You shouldn’t let your guard down ‘round a shady bunch like this.
Momiji: Even so, violence is never the answer. Look at him, he’s in tears.
Daniel: Whatever.
Tumblr media
???: “Thank you both for coming here”.
Momiji: Huh? Ah…
Tumblr media
Momiji: A pet robot…?
Momiji: It looks like a little angel… or should I say sea angel?  It’s so cute.
White-robed man A: Ohh, it’s our Master…!
White-robed man B: Master!
White-robed man C: I feel blessed to be graced by their presence…!
Tumblr media
Daniel: Master? These guys are kowtowing to that pet robot?
???: “I had already foreseen that the two of you would come here today.”
???: “Please follow Mashiro inside.”
Momiji: Mashiro?
Tumblr media
Mashiro: Ahem… I am the one known as Mashiro. It is a pleasure indeed to meet you.
Momiji: Its voice changed… Then was it the owner of Angel Eye who was speaking earlier?
Mashiro: I shall guide you, so please follow me.
Tumblr media
Momiji: Wow… This is amazing…!
Daniel: Well, the interior choices are certainly… amazing.
Momiji: It’s my first time coming to a place like this, but it sure feels authentic!
Mashiro: I extend my most sincere gratitude for your presence at Angel Eye. However, it is imperative that you fulfill a series of conditions before you are granted an audience with our Master.
Mashiro: Kindly ensure that all devices capable of emitting sound are switched off or set to silent mode, so as to not disturb the divination process. Furthermore, strict silence must be observed while you wait your turn.
Momiji: O-Okay.
Tumblr media
Mashiro: The following are also strictly forbidden: Eating or drinking within the premises, touching any of the ornamentations, and approaching the Master. I must also emphasize that this entire parlor is strictly a no-smoking zone, so please do put aside any tobacco on hand.
Daniel: Whoops… Guess the little guy could tell I wanted to have a smoke about now.
Momiji: I guess there must have been a lot of precedents for the long list of cautionaries… The pet robot seems quite used to this.
Mashiro: That will be all for now.
*bell jingles*
Momiji: …!
???: Good evening, dear guests.
Momiji: Oh… 
Tumblr media
???: ……
Momiji: Wow… This boy has a clear divine presence… He fits right in with the otherworldly atmosphere… I really do feel like I’ve stepped into another dimension entirely.
???: I’ve been waiting for you.
Momiji: His presence is so overwhelmingly angelic, I almost feel like I’m about to vanish…! It’s hard to believe he’s a human just like us… Someone like Daniel might get exorcised just by being in his vicinity…!
Daniel: Oi, you just froze up. You okay?
Momiji: Ah!
Momiji: I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but be in awe… I’m okay now.
Momiji: Ahem, good evening. Would you mind explaining what you meant when you said you were waiting for us-
???: ……
Tumblr media
???: *tearing up*
Momiji: Um?
???: Ngh…. waah…!!
Momiji: Wha!? Um… What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly hugging me-
Tumblr media
???:  *hic…*
Momiji: He’s crying… 
Momiji: He’s so small and slender… To the point I’m almost afraid I’ll crush him with one wrong move… 
Momiji: H-Hey, please, tell me what’s wrong-
White-robed man A: Preposterous!! How dare the likes of you embrace our Master!
White-robed man B: Unhand our Master at once! To think you would touch him with your filthy hands!
White-robed man C: Curse you! A thousand curses upon you!
Momiji: Whaaa!?
Tumblr media
Daniel: Ha, looks like they’re testing their luck again. Mind if I break all their fingers now?
Momiji: I told you, violence isn’t the answer!
???: … Please, stop.
White-robed man A: B-But…!
Tumblr media
???: This person is my guest, don't be rude to her. You’re not allowed to speak ill of her either.
Mashiro: Now, all of you must listen to Toi’s words and leave this room.
White-robed man B: … As you will.
Momiji: They all looked reluctant but left obediently anyway… 
???: … I’m sorry, they’re not bad people. They can just be a little too… much, sometimes. 
Daniel: So, you’re the big boss around here.
???: Yes. 
Tumblr media
Daniel: Huh, he’s just a kid… 
Mashiro: Now, Toi, you must dry your tears. I believe you have yet to introduce yourself. 
???: Oh, that’s right. Sorry for not introducing myself sooner.
Tumblr media
Toi: It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I’m Toi Shiramitsu, the 6th head of the Shiramitsu family.
Momiji: Toi-kun… He really does give off a divine presence.
Momiji: Yodaka-san had talked about an angel with one eye, but it doesn’t seem like Toi fits the bill.
Momiji: Forgive me for my late introduction as well. I’m Momiji Hamasaki.
Toi: Oh, a business card! Thank you for offering me one… I’m sorry, I don’t have anything like this to exchange with you… 
Momiji: Please, don’t mind it! I’m sorry that we dropped by all of a sudden too.
Momiji: Oh, and this is my superior, his name is Iwabuchi.
Daniel: A pleasure.
Toi: It’s nice to meet you…!
Daniel: So what’s the deal with your family? Throwin’ around words like “head of the family” makes it seem like its a big deal or somethin’.
Toi: As a family of diviners, we Shiramitsu, have been in charge of running Angel Eye for generations.
Toi: You may have not heard about us because our services are only known within some niche circles, but you could say we’re a household name amongst the spiritual community… 
Momiji: I see… So your entire household is involved in the fortune-telling business… 
Toi: Yes, so um, that’s why… 
Toi: I’d already known that the two of you would come here tonight… 
Momiji: Ah, you did say that earlier. So fortune-telling can even figure out stuff like that huh… That’s amazing.
Momiji: I think we could find Nagi-kun soon with his help…
Toi: …..
Tumblr media
Toi: I… have something I need your help for, desperately. 
Momiji: Wait, so suddenly!?
Momiji: He really does seem desperate… This is a bit much… We’re the ones who needed help in the first place but… Oh well, I guess it’s fine.
Momiji: So um, what exactly do you need help with? We need to discuss that first… 
Toi: Ani-sama*... I need your help finding my older twin brother, Ryui Shiramitsu!
Daniel: Your twin?
Toi: Yes, that’s right. My beloved brother has been missing for 3 weeks now…
Toi: That is, well… He’s never really fit in with our family, so… 
Daniel: What, so he went down the wrong path or somethin’?
Toi: Ani-sama could do no wrong!
Toi: … Excuse me. My family’s situation is a bit… unique.
Toi: Even so, we’re two halves of one soul. Our bond is even stronger than that of blood.
Tumblr media
Toi: No matter how much he despised our family, my brother cannot help but remain by my side. For me… For my sake… Now and forever… 
Momiji: There seems to be a lot going on here… 
Daniel: Can’t you just find him yourself with your spiritual power or whatever?
Toi: That’s the thing… The being who helps me with divination refuses to search for my brother… 
Daniel: That so~ Sure, must be hard on ya.
Momiji: Ah. Daniel-san doesn’t believe a word of this.
Toi: This is the first time my brother has ever left me without a word… I’m really worried.
Toi: Could you please help me find him? I’m begging you…!
Momiji: But, why us? I’m sure there are others who are much better suited to this task… 
Toi: That’s because—
Tumblr media
Toi: Fate has promised as such.
Toi: That you would lead me… to where Ani-sama is.
Note:
Ani–sama is how Toi calls his brother, Ryui. It’s a very respectful way of calling him his older brother.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I've mentioned before that Hisagi Shuuhei's given name Shuuhei[修兵]: "disciplined soldier" is a homonym with shuuhei[州兵]: lit. "state+soldier" but refers to both the organization and individuals of a "National Guard" and contextually the US National Guard specifically. And I've mentioned how it kinda plays into his characterization in relation to his zanpakutou. But something that maybe isn't as apparent is how he shares a very loose theme with Kensei.
Kensei's got a weird mix of things going on and it always felt to me like part of it kind of pivoted half way thru the series, and really the Visored in general, where he started with a sort of US military theme but got shifted into being more of a Japanese style biker gang leader instead(and how that plays into Mashiro's toku hero gimmick)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Among other things he's got the retroactively named move, BakudanTsuki[爆弾突き]: "bomb thrust" that has a subtle militaristic connotation to it. But then in context it's the same root word for "bomb" used in Bambietta's Schrift The Explode[爆撃]: "bombing(raid)" like in an aerial bombing from a plane.
(The other attack there is just SANDBAG BEAT[サンドバッグ・ビ���ト] which doesn't feel especially thematic, but I guess does kind of evoke him being in something like a more western boxing gym, rather than any kind of japanese or samurai specific aesthetics like you'd expect from Soul Society. And his given name is written as "West(ern) Fist")
And then his zanpakutou, Tachikaze appears to be, at least in my mind, evocative of the Tachikaze class destroyer ship. Although I admit that's largely on the back of my own kind of wild/broad speculation about the Visored more as a group than anything supported by just him specifically.
Tumblr media
Shuuhei ka tsuyosou na namae janee ka! Nakuna![修兵が強そうな名前じゃねえか! 泣くな!]: "Shuuhei is a strong looking name isn't it? Don't cry!"
It feels too obvious to need spelling out, but he's not just giving the generic pep talk, he's very specifically pointing out the Shuuhei's name means "Disciplined Soldier" so he should act like one.
I wish I could find it again but I swear there was some transcript of an interview where Kubo more or less reiterated stuff he'd been asked in other similar Q&A but mentioned that he doesn't really design characters with a background in mind, he just draws what feels cool and comes up with a story and personality to match the look. And mroe over that he similarly doesn't design characters with their relationships in mind, he just takes the characters he's already made and imagines which ones look like they'd get along in some way or another. (Among other things this explains why the same women keep showing up in 8th division, not because Nanao and Risa, or even Risa and Kyoraku were ever meant to be meaningfully related but because Kubo just keeps making these women who look the same and ends up pigeonholing them into the same basic network of characters.) Again i can't seem to find this specific Q&A though so take that "factoid" with a grain of salt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still it's with that in mind that it feels like Shuuhei and Kensei ended up together. Not because Kensei was ever actually meant to be Shuuhei's childhood hero but because they both had a soldier gimmick and so Kubo's brain filed them into the same general corner together. And it's from that link that he specifically made their meeting in the TBtP arc punctuated with this line about Shuuhei's name.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also Shuuhei's got his whole motorcycle thing which is weirdly never actually brought up in the context of Kensei's biker thing and his hollow form made to look like car parts; although it's Shuuhei who's only briefly nodded to as the orbital factoid around Jackie's whole gay leather biker daddy themed Dirty Boots. (Very funny that between that and Mashiro's Kamen Rider homage that we have two implicitly motorcycle riding kicky ladies in Bleach. "...two nickles..." and all that...)

UNKNOWN HOLY NIGHT AND NIGHTHEAD - BLACK CAROL 2
Tumblr media
( A few days later )
Tomoya: Yaaawnnn, uu…
Mitsuru: Hmm~... I want that!
Aira: Sounds like Tenma-senpai, alright. I’d like this one…
Tomoya: Mm? What’re they doing?
Good morning. Mitsuru and Shiratori’s faces are pressed/huddled up together, what are you two up to?
Mitsuru: Ah. Tomo-chan, good morning~. I’m looking at flyers with Ai-chan right now!
Tomoya: Flyers for what?
Aira: Good morning. For a toy store– There was an ad in my mailbox this morning. There’s lots of toys featured in the Christmas special!
I’m not at the age where I’ll be getting toys anymore, but a flyer with lots of toys in it is always exciting no matter how old you are… Tenma-senpai and I both got excited over it.
Tomoya: Ahaha. I understand, I understand. It’s always fun to look.
Mitsuru: “This is something I wanted when I was a kid, and these are the kind of things I’d like now”... That’s what Ai-chan and I were talking about.
Tomoya: Hmm~. Lemme take a look. Ah. As I figured, game consoles have always been popular. I also asked Santa for one every year.
Ahh. This is something I wanted as a kid but I never got to get it. And I got this one from Santa once!~
Tumblr media
Aira: Many of Mashiro-senpai’s picks are classics. I feel like you’re very consistent and easy to understand.
Tomoya: Is that so? I guess I’m really not an adventurous kind of person.
Mitsuru: Hey Tomo-chan. Doesn’t this look like a toy from a long time ago?
Tomoya: Nn? Now that you mention it, I think I did used to play with that way back when.
Wow, but now there’s shining lights, and it makes noise. The latest ones are so flashy, huh~?
Aira: Nn~♪ Looking at gift flyers like that makes me antsy! It’s almost Christmas ♪
Mitsuru: Juuust~ a fewww~ more niiights~ until Christmas!
Tomoya: Ahaha. That’s true~. After all, as December approaches, I also start to feel kinda restless…
–Oops! I’ve gotta leave the dorm soon.
Aira: You're off to work?
Tomoya: Mhm. I have a photoshoot this morning and a meeting in the afternoon. I have to go soon.
Mitsuru: That’s a shame, I wanted to talk more~!
Well then, go ahead, Tomo-chan!
Aira: See you!
Tomoya: Take care!
Tumblr media
( That afternoon )
Tomoya: (I’m glad~...! The shoot went better than I had expected it to! I knew it was the right call to ask for Narukami-senpai’s advice beforehand.)
(My work for the morning went well, but… After I eat I’ll have a meeting about the contents of the “Shuffle Project” in the afternoon~...)
(I’m worried, what kind of project will it be…?)
Sigh~... mogumogu…
(I wonder if I’m gonna be able to get along well with the other members…)
Hinata: Yahoo~! Tomo-kun, thank you for your hard work!
Tomoya: Nn? … Ah, It’s Hinata. Thanks for your hard work.
Hinata: Are you having lunch? So am I. Can I join you?
Tomoya: Mhm, go ahead. I’ve just started eating too.
Hinata: Thank you ♪ What to order~...?
Alright, I’m in the mood for some pork cutlet curry today!
Tomoya: That was quick~. You always make quick decisions– it’s pretty refreshing to watch.
Hinata: Fufufu~. I wanna take good care of my intuition, you know! ☆
Ah. That reminds me, I heard something~! Tomo-kun. That “Shuffle Project” of yours. So they reached out to the wrong members mistakenly?
Tomoya: That’s right! I really thought I was in the same unit as Hajime and the others! The shock after so much joy was just too much…!
Hinata: Ahaha. I feel sorry for you, Tomo-kun, but it was a pretty amusing situation to hear about.
Tomoya: You… Just because it’s not your problem to deal with~...
Tumblr media
Tomoya: All the members are my seniors, so I have to be mindful.
I’m somewhat used to Akehoshi-senpai and Fushimi-senpai, but I feel like the others are all pretty quirky…
Hinata: Uh-oh. My vice prez is on pretty high guard too, huh~?
But I think I understand. ♪
Tomoya: Even ES said they’d give us support, but… considering the circumstances, no matter how you think about it, it’s totally just meant to give us some peace of mind!
Hinata: Mhm, still, I do really feel sorry for you. But, y’know, doesn’t that also depend on the project? Have you even decided what kind of project it’s gonna be? 
Tomoya: No. We just met face to face the other day. I heard we’ll have a meeting about the project now.
Hinata: Hmm. Is that so. Then, from here on out, the outcome of Tomo-kun’s fate shall be decided…
Tomoya: You find my misfortune amusing!?
Hinata: Ahahaha ☆ I’m just looking forward to seeing what kind of “Shuffle Project” Tomo-kun’s unit will come up with!
Tumblr media
Hinata: It’s okay! Give it your best shot, Tomo-kun! If it all falls apart, I’ll pick up the pieces for ya! ♪

A10: Interstellar Mirage
Characters: Muneuji, Ushio, Nagi, Netaro, Akuta, Yukikaze, Kafka, Tao, Chihiro, Ten, Kuguri, Kiroku & Nanaki Location: Hama Summary: Some time passes since the toast and excitement spreads through the room. Netaro arrives late and begins passing out colourful steamed buns… Proofreader: Shay
Translator’s Notes ☽.‎˖
Gyaru: Derived from the English word “gal”. It’s a Japanese fashion subculture which consists of showy clothing, heavy tanning, bleached or dyed hair, and lots of makeup. Associated items can be brightly coloured.
Cica: This is the Hungarian term for “cat/kitten”.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Momiji / Kaede: (Kafka went around giving a toast to all the ward mayors, but I wonder if he’s doing okay. He looked like he couldn’t handle his alcohol very well during his coming-of-age party…)
Kafka: Heey~ Manager, so this is where you were~ Huug~
Momiji / Kaede: Wha!? I took my eyes off you for a second and you’ve gotten this drunk?
Yukikaze: He must have gotten into a good mood seeing things finally take shape. Should I carry him?
Momiji / Kaede: Oh, thanks. But maybe it’ll be better to ask Sakujiro-san to take care of him instead.
(It was inevitable during Kobe, but I bet he’ll sulk again if he finds out Yuki-nii carried him.)
Yukikaze: But Sakujiro-san went out to get a set of mahjong tiles to play with Liguang, Kinari and Yodaka-san.
Momiji / Kaede: Huh? Why mahjong tiles?
Kafka: Noo~ I’m not sleeping until Netaro gets here! We’re gonna conquer the world together~
Momiji / Kaede: (After having an interview with Netaro-kun through Daniel-san’s recommendation, Kafka has really taken a liking to him.)
(But it’s nice having more ward mayors that are like friends. Right, Kafka?)
Chihiro: Oh, I wanted to take a picture with Manager-pii but looks like they’re having a hard time with a dead-drunk President-chii. Guess I’ll come back later.
Tao: Hmm… ……? Can you hear something?
Chihiro: Huh?
??: …Steamed buns~ Addicting steamed buns~ Straight outta the steamer ♪
Netaro: How about some crazy delicious steamed buns?
Laika: Buns!
Tumblr media
Chihiro: Wow~!! These are great! They’re so cute ☆ The pet robot also has a [1]gyaru look to it – you’re the G.O.A.T~♪
Tao: Oh, are you Yowa-san? The one who runs that steamed bun cafe…? You said you were gonna be late, right?
Netaro: That’s right. I’m indeed Netaro Yowa, the one who will be the mayor for ward 18! I ended up arriving late since I was steaming these new limited buns for the party.
Chihiro: Chii’s Chihiro! And this is Tao-Tao! I’m so psyched – these strange steamed buns look so good~♪
Netaro: This is the “Interstellar Mirage ☆ Natto Bean Curry Bun” and this one is “Smiling Bon Voyage ☆ Mushroom Cheese Bun”.
Laika: Nattuuu~♪ Lalala, beep beep beep.
Chihiro: OMG! This lil’ robot just started singing outta nowhere – that’s sooo cute ☆ Can I take a picture with you both, Taroppu? And post it on dazzle~?
Netaro: Why, of course, Chii!
Tao: Wow, they’re already calling each other by their nicknames…
Chihiro: Hey, do you have fingers~? Can you make a heart with Chii~?
Tao: Taking a picture’s fine and all but I’m gonna have a steamed bun. Uhh… I’ll take the mushroom and cheese…
Chihiro: Then Chii’s gonna have the crazy natto curry one. Thanks for the food ♪
Tao & Chihiro: Munch…
Netaro & Laika: ……
Tao: …Pfft, ahahahahahaha! What the heck is this? It’s making me laugh like crazy!!
Chihiro: Huh!? Tao-Tao…!?
Tao: Ahahahahaha!
Chihiro: Uh, I dunno what’s going on but Tao-Tao’s going LMAO and it’s so SSR worthy! I totally have to film this!
Tao: My stomach, it hurts…!
Laika: Natuu, Giovanni, piroppu~
Chihiro: Cuteeee ☆ He’s rolling around on the floor~ Sigh I think my maternal instincts are overflowing! OMG!! I’ve never felt this way before! I can’t stop taking pics~♪
Toi: I–It’s Chii-sama…! We’re standing on the same ground…! Breathing the same air…!
Ahh… I want to pray for this miracle! Thank you for letting me be born in the same generation as my idol…!
Mashiro: Chii-sama is certainly one of the most important people destined to be born in this world!
Sonia: Ohh~ So Chii-sama is one of the chosen life-forms! I see!
Chou un: …I think all life is equal but I shall refrain from tactless comments.
Momiji / Kaede: Oh, Netaro-kun is here. Kafka’s asleep, though.
Kuguri: Hey, [2]Cica. Are you enjoying the banquet?
Ten: I figured we haven’t had a drink together yet. Anyway, good job selecting all 18 ward mayors.
Momiji / Kaede: Thanks, you two. Cheers!
(A lot of different relationships are being formed now that they’re all living together under one roof, but… it’s a bit strange seeing Ten-kun and Kuguri-san get along so well already.)
Ten: Oh, right. Shumai was howling up a storm when that guy from the steamed bun cafe came.
Kuguri: Hehe. It must be one of those wild instincts. Are you sure you want to let him in?
Momiji / Kaede: Oh… you’re talking about Netaro-kun? He is a bit of an enigma but I think it’s fine.
(According to Toi-kun’s divination, Netaro-kun was also a necessary individual that will guide us to his brother. We have to help him find his brother, just as we promised.)
Akuta: Haa, haa, all of these are so good I think I might go to heaven…!
I think I’m gonna stuff myself like it’s my last day on Earth, so don’t get in my way, okay!?
Ushio: What an idiot, walking to and fro like that. I don’t wanna watch you pig out.
Kiroku: …But… Kurama… that’s your… third plate of fried noodles…
Ushio: Hey, we’re not talking about me right now.
Kiroku: …It’s delicious so… you don’t… have to be embarrassed…
Ushio: I’m not feeling any bit embarrassed, just so you know.
Muneuji: Hmm… I’d like some more. I’m going to get seconds.
Nanaki: Oh, I’ll go with you, then. The pizza I had before was pretty good… Hm?
Tao: Sigh I finally calmed down… My cheeks hurt from laughing too hard.
Chihiro: Huh? Why did I take a gazillion pics of Tao~? I had these weird maternal instincts that washed over my entire body…
Netaro: Ahaha! Perhaps I added too much of that one secret ingredient~! Right, Laika?
Laika: Shwaa.
Nanaki: ……! …Huh…!?
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📍 Flashback
Tumblr media Tumblr media
??: “Euclidean Instant Disassembly Stripping Pen”. Why, I’m rather proud of my invention!
Human clothes… they tend to get stuck at the throat.
Kiroku: …W–Where is he…?
Nanaki: Who even is he? Where did you come from? The door’s supposed to be over there…
Akuta: Wait, what about the egg?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nanaki: Ah…!
Muneuji: What’s wrong? You’re trembling.
Nanaki: T–That’s… that guy…!
Muneuji: ?
……!
Akuta: Maaaan, I can feel the calories seep into every fibre of my being~!
Muneuji: Everyone, I want you to listen to me closely.
Kiroku: ?
Muneuji: The individual we met on the rooftop after the concert is right there. It’s that secret agent with the egg.
Ushio: What!? You’re kidding…
Nanaki: I’ve been staring at him and it has to be him. There’s no way I wouldn’t be able to recognise him.
Akuta: …Really? I don’t remember.
Ushio: I never expected anything from your brain cells, idiotake. Anyway… why is he even here? I don’t get it.
Is he the mayor of ward no.18? The one who said he’d be late?
Muneuji: Most likely. He must be Netaro Yowa-san.
Nanaki: What was it? He’s supposed to be from the secret special forces… It’s called ponzu or something…
Akuta: Yorozu!
Ushio: You remember that?
Kiroku: …The… egg… it’s there… too…!
Ushio: Huh?
Kiroku: Look…
Laika: Beep beep beep. Zee zee zee. Boing.
Nanaki: Hmm… That’s not the egg. I think that’s just a normal pet robot.
Ushio: I agree with the panda.
Kiroku: N–No… that’s… definitely…
Muneuji: You were the one who shared a deep emotional bond with the egg. I believe in Kinugawa’s intuition.
Nanaki: Even if we ignore the egg, is it okay for us to carelessly approach him?
Ushio: Who knows…? He seems dangerous so maybe it would be best to keep our distance. There might be an explosion or we might get our clothes stripped.
Akuta: Hey, did we meet on a rooftop in the summer?
Netaro: Hm?
Ushio: That guy…! He shouldn’t have strolled up to him and asked him that directly…!
Akuta: Well, everyone’s saying we all met then.
So is it true~!?
Ushio: Pretend we don’t know him.
Nanaki: …… Muneuji…!?
Muneuji: Pardon my impertinence. I’m Muneuji Kaguya, the mayor of ward no. 8. Do you recall?
Netaro: Uji, your eyes are beautiful. I feel like I’ve seen them a long time ago…
Muneuji: ……
Netaro: I don’t really remember. How about we call this our first meeting?
Muneuji: ……
Akuta: Nice to meet you. Je m'appelle Akuta Supa Hero!
Ushio: Mu-chan, we’re leaving! You, too!
Muneuji: …I see. It’s because he’s a part of Yorozu.
He is a secret agent who performs his duties in civilian clothes, so he’ll blend into society by working an ordinary job. He must not be able to reveal his identity – just like the time on the rooftop.
Ushio: Mu-chan, what’re you mumbling about?
Nanaki: So this just means he doesn’t know us, right?
Muneuji: Right. If he says he’s never seen us before, then we should also get our story to match with his. We mustn’t get in the way of his mission.
Kiroku: ……
Ushio: That’s fine. Let’s just leave it at that.
Nanaki: Hmm… Oh, well.
Akuta: Then I’m good too. Anyway, let’s eat!
Muneuji: ……
Tumblr media
Nagi: …Sigh…
Sonia: Are you okay, Nagi-san?
Nagi: Yeah…
Sonia: This is worrying.
Nagi: Yeah. At this rate… things might be really bad.
Maybe I should go back to the store and start handing out flowers.
Sonia: But… the temperature’s gone down and it’s cold.
Nagi: That’s even better.
Sonia: ……
Nagi: Yeah. It’s better this way. …Anyway, I’ll be back.
Sonia: Nagi-sa–
Momiji / Kaede: Oh, Nagi-kun. What’re you doing over here?
Nagi: …Uhh… um.
Sonia: O–Oh, we suddenly received a work request…!
Nagi: Yeah. A sudden work request.
Sonia: Y–Yes, we’re in quite a pickle since we’re temporarily closed!
Momiji / Kaede: Yeah? Okay. We’ve got cake too so hurry back, alright?
Nagi: Y–Yep. Thanks. I’ll be going, then…
Momiji / Kaede: Come home soon!
Nagi: Ugh!
Momiji / Kaede: Are you okay!? You’re suddenly clutching your chest!
Nagi: It’s nothing… I’ll be back…!
*Nagi leaves in a hurry*
Tumblr media
Sonia: Are you okay, Nagi-san!?
Nagi: I’m still… fine.
But if anymore happiness starts spilling out… then things will start getting really bad. I need to regulate it…
…Let’s go, Sonia. We’ll bear with the numbing cold and hand out the flowers – we need to dilute these happy feelings.
Sonia: Gotcha!

Recent Read Manga Recommendation Round Up (plus anime!) - Part 4
Manga/anime I’ve been enjoying recently! Links to part 1, part 2, and part 3.
Twitter link to this post here.
~Links to my other manga posts~ My personal favs/ones I super enjoyed will have a ✨ on them :)
Tumblr media
Some of these don't have official (or unofficial) EN translations since I read a lot of JP-only manga and I’d like to make people aware of those titles too! My hope is that bringing awareness to them will help get them licensed :) I guess if any sound interesting, ask publishers to license them!

SLICE OF LIFE
✨ Aquatope of the White Sand by P.A. Works
(24 episodes)
Tumblr media
I worked on the subs for this anime for an Asian streaming service and it was a lot of fun! I feel like this anime was overlooked though. It has beautiful animation and we follow a fun cast of characters living in Okinawa and working in aquariums!

ALTERNATE HISTORY
✨ Ooku: The Inner Chambers by Yoshinaga Fumi
(19 volumes, complete)
Available in English (hats off to the EN localization team, excellent work!)
Tumblr media
Ooku is an alternate history taking place in Edo period Japan where a plague wipes out a large portion of the male population. This story is insanely well-written, gripping, and nuanced. It's not "lol men get wiped out and we get girl bosses". I can't get over how big-brained Yoshinaga-sensei is for writing this masterpiece. No words I have will do it justice. Just read it!
PLEASE LOOK UP ANY TRIGGER WARNINGS!
FANTASY
✨ Love Condemns Her by Hana Chatani
(one shot)
Support the creator and pick it up here!
Tumblr media
Hana Chatani is one of my favorite artists I've been following for years. Their artwork is mesmerizing to me and I can't get enough. This is a lovely short story inspired by The Little Mermaid.
HISTORICAL, WW2
COCOON by Kyou Machiko
(one shot)
JP only
Tumblr media
A one-shot manga based on the real-life events in Okinawa during WW2 and the school girls who were made to be nurses.
MYSTERY
Kujaku no Dance Dare ga Mita? by Asami Rito

HORROR, SUPERNATURAL
The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window by Yamashita Tomoko
(10 volumes, complete+extra volume)
JP only
Tumblr media
From the same author as Ikoku Nikki. Honestly, I'm not sure how to explain this title LOL. It's very strange and creepy and silly and... yeah. It was super fun to buddy read it with Colleen from Colleen's Manga Recs.
DRAMA
Hibari no Asa by Yamashita Tomoko
(2 volumes, complete)
JP only
Tumblr media
Another one by Yamashita Tomoko! Be warned, this title is upsetting. It's a very good and important manga, but lord... I did not have fun reading it T-T
We follow 14-year-old Hibari, who is sexualized and treated adversely because of her more "developed/sensual" body.
ROMANCE
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 by Mashiro
(13 episodes, 9 volumes, ongoing)
Available in English
youtube
A fun rom-com :)
DYSTOPIAN, POST-APOCOLYPTIC
Heavenly Delusion by Ishiguro Masakazu
(13 episodes, 10 volumes, ongoing)
Available in English
youtube
This OP didn't have to go so hard.
I'm sorry idk what to say about this one either other than it's a dystopian. I watched it a while ago and it's not super fresh in my brain right now.
DRAMA, SUPERNATURAL, ROMANCE
My Happy Marriage by Agitogi Akumi
(12 episodes)
youtube
I didn't realize the series had supernatural elements at first so I think that was a cool addition. And the character dynamics are also quite interesting.

Wonderful Precure First Impressions!
I stayed up until way past my bedtime for the reveal (it was hard, I'm way too much of a morning person for this). I'll go go character by character first:
Cure Wonderful/ Kumogi
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is indeed a dog! And a cute one, the plushie leaks didn't do her justice. She's Friendy's pet, but i wonder if she's a magical dog that ended up as a pet, our if she's similar too Mofurun i.e. a normal dog that acquired speech/a human mind recently. I love her civilian design, it's really fun and cute, i love the ponytail.
Cure Friendy/ Iroha
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I first saw the leaks I was afraid that she was going to be too close to Mashiro in terms of personality, and we would have a similar dynamic with the lead than last season, but i was completely wrong! She looks like a pretty extroverted and energetic character! Also i like that she have a pretty different hairstyle than her cure form. She gave her last name to Kumogi, so I'm guessing they'll end up with a sibling like dynamic?
Cure Niammy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most likely a white cure with a blue subcolor. Probably my favorite design, she looks like she has a fun personality too, a bit full or herself. She's definitely the white cat Yuki-chan, even if it hasn't been confirmed yet. I'm very curious to see her civilian design too!
Cure Lillian:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obviously she's Mayu. She look maybe a little bit older than Iroha. On the promo pic she's taking pictures of Yuki-chan so I'm expecting her to be the kind of person that is obsessed with taking picture of their pets (she's just like me for real).
Miscellaneous :
Tumblr media
So we have those to character Satoru and Daifuku, and it once again it's pretty obvious who our midseason cure(s) will be. I'm expecting Satoru to have a similar supportive role to Ageha in the early episodes and to become a cure on his own later. Like Toei is going to pass the occasion to make a bunny themed character/mascot! And his outfit is suspiciously color themed (There's a quote on Cure Soleil's Wiki page where that says that yellow/orange cures are bit more free to be experimental than the pink and purple who have to be more marketable, so I think that's why he'll have a similar color to Wing). His design instantly reminded me of Yukito from Card Captor Sakura, and apparently the character designers does a lot of Clamp fanart that might actually be an inspiration.
The kirarin animals are the other mascot that will be included in this year tamagochi like toy. I'm expecting them to have a similar role to the star princesses or the elements spirits and that they will give the cures specific powers to collect as they rescue them etc.
About the merchandise it seems that we're getting different transformation item/wand for each pairs (RIP to the collectors wallet), so no hope to find the Mid season cure there, it's probably absent from the mirror pad update, just like majesty was, so it seems that they're hiding them well... The wonderful pact is really pretty I love how shiny it is!
Tumblr media
There seems to be a lot of women in the staff this year which is really cool to see!
I think the season looks super adorable, and i can't wait for it to start!

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
was mashiro trying to trap him? was she running a human trafficking business? hanbin doubts were eating him up as he made his way to the spot lee jeonghyeon told him to meet him at. the unknown boy seemed a bit too defensive for hanbin, and he was also asking himself who could be the 'pair' he mentionned.
finally, hanbin arrived around the area given by jeonghyeon, and he noticed him pretty quickly, sitting on a bench with a boy that seemed familiar. seeing jeonghyeon waving to him, hanbin got closer to them, squinting his eyes trying to see better who was the boy with him.
"kim taerae??"
"yeah...that's my name..."
hanbin and taerae used to be very close friends when they were in high school. after graduating, they fell apart like most people do. unconfortable, taerae scratched the back of his neck, while jeonghyeon looked at the two boys in confusion.
"well, i guess you guys know each other." getting no response from the two guys with him, jeonghyeon sighed. "this is awkward, get it together, we have business to talk about."
jeonghyeon tapped on the bench to incite hanbin to sit down with them, and he does.
"so... what did you mean by 'working in pair', jeonghyeon?" hanbin started.
"basically, i'm not y/n's ex. taerae is."
"what? but mashiho told me it was you... what were you if it was taerae dating her?"
"okay, this is gonna be humiliating" said taerae, hiding his face in his hands.
"i'm his ghostwriter." jeonghyeon deadpanned.
a silence fell on the trio. forget about the humain trafficking business, mashiro might be running one, but it was definitly not what was happening right now. hanbin felt like taerae and jeonghyeon were pulling some pranks on him, but the way jeonghyeon seemed serious about it and the way taerae was as red as a tomato was concerning. hanbin coughed to clear his voice.
"what do you mean?"
"have you ever heard of edmond rostand's play called cyrano de bergerac?" jeonghyeon asked.
"hum... yeah, i think matthew mentionned it once."
"you see, in this play, christian is too much of a loser to court the girl he likes. so, he asks his friend cyrano to write love letters in his place."
"are you telling me..."
"i was taerae's cyrano de bergerac back when he tried to get with y/n."
this is when hanbin understood why mashiro told him to talk with this guy. she was advicing him to do the same as taerae, in other words, to ask jeonghyeon to be his cyrano de bergerac. "what happened to you, hanbin? you used to be a perfectly capable man and now look where you at for some girl.." he thought. was it better to just drop the project? were you even worthy of all of this? just when hanbin was thinking of just not courting you anymore, his eyes met your figure that was going out of the college hall, walking slowly with your earphones on, heading somewhere alone. at this time of the day, you were probably going to work. looking at you from afar, hanbin couldn't help but think of the things that attracted him to you. sure, he didn't know you that much now, but he had the feeling that you might be the someone he could at least be very good friends with. it was not just about his ego being hurt by the rejection, he genuinely wanted to know you more. in eyes, you definitly worth it.
seeing hanbin lost in his thoughts, not even looking at them, jeonghyeon and taerae exchanged a confused look before looking in the direction hanbin's was staring. taerae was the one to notice you first, looking back to hanbin. he gently hit jeonghyeon with his elbow to tell him to follow their plan, unknown to hanbin. his partner in crime jumped, before understanding what taerae meant.
"well, hanbin. if you want it, we can help you with that. hire me freely as your cyrano de bergerac and i'll get you to talk with y/n in a way that she will like. even though i don't really understand what you see in her, and i would recommand you to find any other girl-"
"i don't need you to understand what i see in her, this isn't about your feelings for her but mines." hanbin said, cutting him off.
"i was just advicing you, man. you don't have to react like that."
"keep them to yourself if you're gonna speak ill to people i like in front of my face."
jeonghyeon restrained a smile as he gave a quick look to taerae, before focusing back on hanbin. he raised his hands to tell the boy he was giving up on debating this topic, and hanbin sighed.
"look, i really appreciate you guys taking your time to meet me for this, but i don't think this is gonna work." hanbin got up, giving them a polite and awkward smile before leaving with quick steps. the duo still on the bench looked at him from afar, waiting for him to be far enough.
"it seems like he passed the test, right?" taerae said.
"and i'm glad he did that fast, it was hard talking bad about y/n. let's dm mashiho and hao."

Well, this is just people who wear gloves daily. Hinata told me that he keeps a pair of gloves on him so that he wont go looking for them before he gardens. Wataru also keeps gloves on him as a prop. Why do people have so many gloves anyways? I guess it’s fine because it relates to their ultimate somehow.

My attempts at the stupidly difficult 9th Anni Extra Senkaimon Quests
I have heard other people complain about them, so with only a day and a half left of them, I wanted to talk about my attempts using at them. I've beaten 6/10 of them and have made attempts at the other 4 so here is what I've done. Putting it all under the cut because I've included pictures of my setup for each stage, which makes it a really long post.
Extra Stage 1: Beaten
Tumblr media
This level wasn't actually too bad. My Ulquiorra is only 1/5, but he does enough damage that I was able to just stand in place and win. His SA 2 is a lunge attack so I had to watch where it was aiming when I used it, but otherwise it was fine. You'll notice that most of my other attempts do have a Last Ditch Survival link, but I didn't need one for this level.
Extra Stage 2: Not Beaten
Tumblr media
My best attempt was with this setup, but even then I kept dying before I got to stage 3. My second best attempt was with a 1/5 parasol Shunsui and I was able to stay alive the entire time since he has drain and can heal, be he never even made it to stage 3 before time ran out. I think I can do it with Wonderweiss but it'll be difficult. He is 2/5, which isn't awful. And honestly this is the only level I haven't beaten that I actually think is possible for me to beat.
Update: I got to stage 3 and Shuren absolutely destroyed me. I had even managed to keep my LDS until the boss fight, but I still died. Idk if this one’s gonna be doable.
Extra Stage 3: Beaten
Tumblr media
This one was also a matter of doing enough damage without having to move. My White is currently 5/5 (but I think he was only like 3/5 when I actually completed this, since this was the first one I beat). But I was still doing massive amounts of damage and that's what let me beat it so easily.
Extra Stage 4: Beaten
Tumblr media
This one I think had some of the easiest rules to get around, assuming you have a character with a Break Iron Skin skill. My Ikkaku is only a 1/5 and actually only has level 15 link slots. My biggest tip for this level is to dodge like crazy. Get as much Reduced Strong Attack Cooldown as you can and add a Last Ditch Survival and you should be fine. Look out specifically for the guys in white since their attacks are hard to dodge, and also the blonde ones since their attacks do a lot of damage. I was dreading this one the most due to the human enemies but I think this is actually one of the tamer levels.
Extra stage 5: Beaten
Tumblr media
This one was easy enough, just attack without moving and avoid the Insta-Kills as much as possible. I don't actually remember much about this stage but I beat it with a 1/5 Mugetsu (that was only powered up to level 5) and having only level 15 link slots so I guess it wasn't too bad, but when I retried it again to research this post, I died almost immediately cause I didn't dodge an attack properly and I don't feel like trying again. So maybe I just got lucky, who knows?
Extra Stage 6: Beaten
Tumblr media
This was the most recent one I've beaten. The trick is staying alive long enough to destroy the traps so you can use SAs. I have a LDS link, which I used just destroying the trap against Senjumaru, but then I beat her with SAs. Tenjiru I got lucky against and weakened him immediately so I could destroy the trap without being killed, and then I beat him with SAs. Ichibe I just Soul Bombed him immediately which destroyed the traps so I could finish him off with SAs.
Extra Stage 7: Beaten
Tumblr media
The simplest extra rules. It felt like an actual Senkaimon Quest that wasn't ridiculously inflated in difficulty. My Mashiro is 2/5, level 20 link slots, and she beat it pretty easily. She's immune so paralysis which made it significantly easier. My biggest worry was the human affiliation attacks that I talked about in stage 4.
Extra Stage 8: Not Beaten
Tumblr media
Genuinely don't think I'm beating this one. It was clearly designed for Candice, but I only have her 1/5. I have not gotten has Quilge. He isn't doing enough damage fast enough, and dodging doesn't work because of the statue traps that limit where you can dodge to. I don't think this is beatable with her only 1/5, but I'm most using a Special Move Source just to get 10 orbs and a summons ticket. So this one is unbeatable.
Extra Stage 9: Not Beaten
Tumblr media
I don't have Gremmy, but I'm still summoning for him so this may change, but the best character I have to beat this level with is Ichigo, and he's just not cutting it. He is ranged, which is allowing him to destroy the SA Disabling traps, but they don't stay destroyed for long enough to beat the stage. And he's not doing enough damage anyway, so there's no chance of him beating the level. If I get Gremmy in the next 2 days, then I may update this, but for now I'm calling it unbeatable, at least for me.
Extra Stage 10: Not Beaten
Tumblr media
This is the one I'm most angry about. It should be beatable. It's designed for Kenpachi and I have him 4/5. So why is it so unbeatable? Because he's melee, and gets down to half stamina before he can destroy the trap that would let him actually use his attacks. The first stage is a pretty small room with a lot of enemies that he doesn't actually have killer against. He can barely dodge, and his potential as an op character is wasted because he wastes half of his health just to be able to attack. I have not gotten to stage 2. And maybe I'm just playing badly but I have no idea what else I'm supposed to do here.
And that's all I've got. Good luck to anyone else attempting these stupidly hard quests, I wish you the best.
Also if this was Tier 1 of the 9th Anni Tower, what the hell are the other 3 Tiers going to look like?

Shutter Chance - 1
Tumblr media
Writer: Yuumasu
Season: Winter
TL: verdantcrimson
(Unproofread)
1 | 2
Tumblr media
Tomoya: Hello, Hasumi-senpai. Could I sit next to you?
Keito: Mashiro. You can sit wherever you'd like.
Keito: But this is the final rehearsal before the performance. Since only associated parties and guests are allowed to watch, there's no need to sit close together, right?
Tomoya: That's true. But you know, Narukami-senpai told me I should bring a kerchief, because their performance would be a tear-jerker.
Tomoya: And I thought, it'd be super embarrassing to be seen crying by a random person that happened to be sitting near me, right? Which made me think that if someone was going to see me cry, it'd be better if it was someone I knew.
Tomoya: But even if it's Hasumi-senpai, it still feels embarrassing. Ehehe.
Keito: Hm. The more reputed a play is for being a 'tear-jerker', the more conscious of crying you feel, don't you think?
Tomoya: Ah, that's true. If you feel self-conscious, you'd probably be less prone to crying.
Tomoya: Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing this sad, but heartwarming story. Hokuto-senpai praised your script too.
Keito: Hidaka did?
Tomoya: Yeah. This performance is in a completely different style than the ones you've written before. He was impressed, saying, "I'm surprised he can handle a wide range of genres, from serious to comedic."
Tomoya: I heard that they were careful with adapting the script so as not to kill its charm. If I didn't have work, I would've loved to take part too!
Keito: … I also had some work to do, so I just handed the script over to them. The members of Dramatica are all quirky, and are a bit of a handful sometimes.
Keito: But because of the passion they put into their performances, I have faith in them. Next time, I hope to participate as an actor too.
Keito: Hm, an announcement from the stage… Looks as though the show will be delayed for around ten minutes.
Tomoya: This is a rehearsal after all. I just hope it's not serious. Maybe they aren't done checking equipment.
Tomoya: I guess I could read the pamphlet I got at the entrance to kill time.
Keito: That reminds me, I haven't read it yet either. I'll have a look as well.
Tomoya: … Ah. Like usual, there's a feature article on one of the members of Dramatica. This time, it's Hasumi-senpai right?
Keito: Yes. They interviewed me after the script had been finished. That was a while ago.
Tomoya: Isn't it hard to take pictures for these sorts of interviews? Even if they tell you to act natural, you can't help but feel self-conscious because of the camera.
Tomoya: Even when I try to pose casually, I end up looking like an industry professional. I always feel concerned about that.
Keito: You just have to get used to it through experience, I suppose.
Keito: Whether to sit or stand, where you should look, how you position your hands… No matter how much you overthink it, there are limits to variation.
Keito: The thing that readers are most concerned with is the interview, the photos merely act as decoration.
Tomoya: The photos are decoration… Understood. I guess I won't worry too much, since the main attraction is my answers to the interview questions.
Tomoya: Thanks for the advice Hasumi-senpai.
Keito: It isn't a big deal. I just stated the obvious.
Tomoya: Even if it's 'obvious', it still helped me realize it. Thanks to you, I'll be less afraid of making mistakes.
Tomoya: As the leader of Ra*bits, I feel like I have to be all put-together. I'm immature, so I constantly worry about the littlest things.
Tomoya: Hasumi-senpai, I bet those sorts of little things don't faze you at all…
Keito: No. I have plenty of worries myself.
Keito: I have a meeting regarding the 'Feature Live' after this play. We haven't decided on the kind of performance, what to put on the pamphlet, or anything like that.
Keito: AKATSUKI as a Unit has a distinct aesthetic, so I've been consciously trying to distance myself from that to avoid similarity but… Besides that, we're working with a completely blank slate.
Tomoya: Hm… But even if you gave Anzu-san that much information to work with, I'm sure she'd be able to whip up something nice.
Keito: Hm. But this is an opportunity to respond to all of the fans who would show up to support me at the solo live, so it'd only be logical for me to take the lead when promoting it.
Keito: … The buzzer signaling that the show is opening just sounded, so let's end the conversation here.
Keito: Now, let's direct our attention to the show.
[3 Hours Later, in the Terrace seating area of Cafe COCHI]
Tumblr media
Keito: (That performance… After I submitted the script, I didn't show up to any of the rehearsals that followed.)
Keito: (Perhaps that was why it was so good. It was refreshing to see such an unconstrained interpretation.)
Keito: (When I write, even though I try to imagine how it would look on the stage, It always ends up surpassing my expectations, which is what makes writing feel worthwhile.)
Keito: (What kind of story should I tell next—)
Keito: Hm…. What was that sound... ?
Tumblr media
Keito: … So the culprit was you, Anzu. Why did you just take a picture?
Keito: "I liked your mellow looking gaze" you say? So you wanted to capture me in my natural state for the Feature Live pamphlet?
Keito: If you want to take a picture, it's usually good manners to ask first… That's the extent I'll nitpick though. If that was your intent, I don’t actually take issue with it.
Keito: How long are you going to stand there? Sit down. I want you to show me if you got any good shots.
Tumblr media
Souma: …… dono! Hasumi-dono!
Keito: ? That voice…

Dragon's Head – Beyond the Point of Yielding – Chapter 1
[ View on site for better experience♪ ]
Location: Dragon's Head Competition Venue
Tumblr media
Koga: Woah, they’re huge! Seein’ the dragon boats lined up like this cool as hell~♪ It kinda makes you excited for the race itself.
Tch. Why do I have to be the commentator instead of a competitor? It’d be perfect cuz it looks so cool.
Well, I get that with the purpose of the project, it’s not a good idea to have an uneven amount of unit participants, but…
Ugh, I can’t suddenly be a participant so! I just gotta memorize the script so I don’t fuck up the commentary.
It’s an easy ass script, so it won’t even be an issue for me to remember it perfectly anyways.
The program’s name is “Dragon’s Head” huh… Hm. So they didn’t use that joke of a title from before after all.
Of course they didn’t. I mean, what kinda name was “The Starpro Rhylink Friendship Strategy”!? It’s like a kid made it up.
Okay, got it memorized! I guess it wasn’t that long of a script since most of the commentary is live anyways. Guess I should go over to the table now.
Hm? Aah, the race is about to start. Alright then…
Tumblr media
〈Beginning of the race〉
Tumblr media
Koga: “Alright, ya bastards! Are ya ready!?”
“The two big name idol agencies, Starpro and Rhylink, will be racing each other in dragon boats!”
“Today, it doesn’t matter whether ya sing or dance! The stage you’ll be on is the back of this colorful dragon!”
“In this battle of pride between these two agencies, which agency will end up victorious!?”
“Now, let’s get started! Get fired up, cuz its… On your marks…… Get set…… Start!”
Tumblr media
Kuro: ―― Alright! Rhylink, let’s go! Yell with your stomachs! One! Two! One! Two!
(Okay. Looks like we’re speedin’ up fast. Seems we caught a wave right at the start of the race.)
(Mashiro looks so confident, huh?)
(He seemed so unsure in himself until now, so I’m glad that the practices we had seemed to pay off.)
Tumblr media
Kuro: (It’s like you can feel his spirit with every row. Feelin’ the vibrations of the taiko is kinda refreshin’!)
Nice, we’re in the lead! Let’s keep the pace up and keep goin’! One! Two! One! Two!
Tumblr media
Tomoya: ( ! It’s true! We’re in the lead! Yay…!)
(――Woah, not good not good. If I get too relaxed here, we might get swept up in one go. You can never be too careful.)
One! Two! One! Two!
Tumblr media
Tomoya: (I’m so glad. I was super nervous before we started, but now I’m calmer than I thought I was going to be.)
(Maybe I just feel relieved because of Kiryuu-senpai shouts. It feels like he has my back…♪)
(The water looks so sparkly and beautiful. Alright, I’m gonna give it my all without getting too worked up~!)
Tumblr media
Tomoya and Adonis: One! Two! One! Two!
Koga: “Rhylink was in the lead from the start, but this won’t be an easy victory! Starpro’s boat is also followin’ right behind!”
Tumblr media
Tetora: (As expected ssu. They were in the lead at the beginnin’, but our team’s specialty is catchin’ up at the end!)
(I’m gonna keep a certain distance from them to keep the pressure high ssu.)
(I’ll let you keep the lead this early in, Taishou!)
Tumblr media
Tetora: Don’t start panickin’! Think about usin’ Rhylink as a shield from the wind! One! Two! One! Two!
Tumblr media
Hiiro: Umu! One! Two! One! Two!
Tumblr media
Koga: “Alright, we’re reachin’ the half point of the race! Looks like we’re in a stalemate! Starpro is right behind Rhylink!”
“Will they reach the goal like this!? Or will there be a sudden turn of events!?”
“The race has finally reached the half point. Time for the second half!”

More Ojiro Family Stuff!
(Note, gonna start using Mashiro, cause good god, this is confusing enough)
As always, you are free to change, alter or discard whatever you want!
So! Got more on Scorpio! He has a name now!
Judai (kanji unknown) Ohari (尾針 - literally “tail-stinger”), aka Scorpio! Quirk: Scorpion Tail, has a tail almost EXACTLY like Mashiro’s, except it has a stinger on the end, which has a venom which causes mild to moderate paralysis (but nothing life threatening). Graduated from Shiketsu. Scorpio is a sidekick at the Zodiac Agency. He has been offered an official “hero partner” position, but has turned it down because being a sidekick has more flexible hours.
AND
Fujiko Ohari, Scorpio’s wife, aka Karkina (crab related, search Karkinos) another sidekick at the Zodiac Agency. Her Quirk is Exoskeleton, her body is covered with bone-like growths she can control and manipulate (Look up Ichigo from Bleach in Fullbringer Armour to see what I’m thinking of). She took on more desk duty after her kids were born, and she and Scorpio now trade off on desk duty, so neither of them are in the field at the same time, unless there is an emergency. 
Also their kids! Hiroto(6, boy) and Jun(4, girl), plus Karkina is currently pregnant again (Another girl … Tatsuki?). Hiroto is Quirkless (or seems to be, if you have an idea), while Jun has a fusion of her parents’ Quirks, called Tailbone. She has her Mom’s bone armour, but specifically down her spine, and covering her tail. Tatsuki will also have a tail, but covered in scales and fur - I have a half-baked idea she eventually becomes like a Monster High style Dragon?? Not super important right now, I guess. As of … I guess your current CC canon? Karkina is about 4 months pregnant.
Now the Ojiro Family List! (* means married in)
*Genkai Ojiro - Grandad - Quirk: Stubborn
Sumomo Ojiro - Grandma - Quirk: Bounce
Yosuke Ojiro - First born Son - Quirk: Stubborn
*Keiko Ojiro - Yosuke’s wife - Quirk: Momentum
Masumi Ojiro - Second Born kid, first born daughter - Quirk: Bouncy
Shizuka Ojiro - Third kid, 2nd daughter - Quirk: Stubborn
*Arika - TECHNICALLY not married in yet, Shizuka’s datemate, the pair are planning to get married eventually, but everyone treats them as if they’ve already married Shizuka - Quirk: Gecko (physical mutation Quirk that gives her the appearance and general abilities of a gecko. Have a vague idea of her being related to Spinner?)
Grandkids
Yosuke & Keiko’s kids (please note, they have a LOT of kids, I haven’t named them all yet, order is by age)
Son - Quirk: Stubborn
Son - Quirk: Stubborn
Daughter - Quirk: Stubborn
Sosuke - roughly Mashiro’s age - Quirk: Momentum
Daughter & Son (fraternal twins) - Quirk: Stubborn
Son - Quirk: Stubborn
Miki - youngest girl - Quirk: mix of Momentum & Bounce
Masumi’s kid
Mashiro - only child - Quirk: Tail
-
I LOVE aLL OF THEM

[TL] BIOHAZARD/Chapter 3
[ This post uses Ois~su ♪ ]
Time: The next day
Location: At 'AIIE', the fourth experiment facility, known as "CRADLE"
Tumblr media
Tomoya: “Welcome! To the AIIE project’s fourth experiment facility, also known as CRADLE!”
Hajime: “Fufu, we are your Guide Robots, and we will be showing you around ♪”[1]
Koga: Huhh? Don’t suddenly start spewin’ nonsense terms, this ain’t a sci-fi movie ya know?
More importantly. What the hell you doin’ here, Ra*bits?
Tomoya: “Ah, we aren’t Ra*bits!”
Hajime: “We have been created for the AIIE project, or more specifically, we are AI idols!”
Koga: ...? ...?
Adonis: Are you really— are you really not Mashiro and Shino? Or are you just playing a part?
Tomoya: “Yep, we aren’t real!”
Hajime: “We have no affiliation with any real person or organisation!”
Koga: No connection, huh… Is that okay? Did you get permission from the real people t’do this?
Tumblr media
Rei: Fumu. This isn’t meant to be me playing the old man character, I’m honestly just commenting plainly but - technology has advanced in leaps and bounds. Honestly, I really can’t keep up.
So these Mashiro-kun and Shino-kun lookalikes are rather peculiar. I suppose this beautiful scenery we’re seeing is also an illusion?
Kaoru: I feel like we're being conned. This place is supposed to be indoors, yet opening this ‘door’ reveals a gorgeous view with the sun shining brightly in the sky.
Adonis: This is what is called VR, or virtual reality. Via the contact lenses fitted in our eyes, we can see a reality that doesn’t actually exist.
Since we don’t know exactly where the walls and boundaries are, it's best if we do not move around too much.
Tumblr media
Rei: Ah, ouchie!? I hit my head!
Kaoru: You alright, old man~...?
Rei: Mhm… From the outside, this building looked rather spacious but the reality is that it’s probably only the size of a school gymnasium.
As Adonis-kun quite rightly said, we should keep jumping and skipping around to a minimum.
Koga: You guys have bigger bodies than me so watch yourselves, alright?
Kaoru: Fufu. That’s why if you line us all up, Koga-kun’s only a wee little thing. The fans love it, they’re like “ooooh he’s so cute.”
Koga: HaaA? It might make you feel happy, but it don’t me. Feels like I’m bein’ made fun of, it’s uncomfortable.
You enjoy playin’ around with other people’s inferiority complexes for fun, dontcha?
Rei: Kukuku. What’s more important, we weren’t called out here to stand around, but what is it that we’re supposed to be doing?
The fact that we have answered our agency about this AIIE thingamabob is wonderful, but they still haven’t explained anything to us in any great amount of detail.
Hajime: “We will explain!”
Tomoya: “That’s what we’re here for!”
“The AIIE project, as the name suggests, is a project to ‘manufacture’ idols!”
Koga: This smells super fishy.
Rei: This is the kind of thing Tenshouin-kun would enjoy.
Though that is mere speculation. He’s probably taking advantage of this by being a sponsor of some sort.
Kaoru: Well, isn’t that kinda better than being involved in a shady private business’ experiment that you know nothing about?
Rei: I suppose so… Anyhow, I’m struggling to understand. What is an artificial idol? What does it do?
Hajime: “We can answer that!”
Tomoya: “We are your Guide Robots, and that’s our job!”
Rei: Well, as you’re not the real Ra*bits, I can take a guess as to what artificial idols do–
Hajime: “Yes. As we mentioned earlier, we are artificial idols created for the AIIE project.”
Tomoya: “To give a brief explanation, we are idols created in the image of real idols, copies so to speak.”
Hajime: “This involves copying the physical aspects of pre-existing idols and pasting them onto robots, and, using AI, we can replicate accurate speech patterns and behaviour.”
Tomoya: “So at a glance, we are the exact same as the real idols.”
Hajime: “Although with the current technology, it is not possible to create exact copies, therefore the result will be similar but not perfect.”
Tomoya: “With your cooperation, we can continue to experiment and improve our technology until we can even copy your fans.”
“—Soon, we will be able to create perfect replicas of your parents and siblings!”
[ ☆ ]
these 'versions' of tomoya and hajime speak in keigo, which is fancy fancy speak. it's what ibara speaks in, though unrelated to ibara. just an example!

A05: The Vanished Brother's Memorial
Characters: Toi, Daniel & Ryui Location: Hama Summary: Toi agrees to help the protagonist if they help him find his brother. The protagonist decides to do so as they cannot ignore his request.
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📍 Location: Angel Eye
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Momiji / Kaede: …Fate?
Toi: Yes.
Daniel: T–This sounds real fishy…
Toi: Pardon my rudeness, but you two are here because you have a request to ask me… right?
Momiji / Kaede: Yes.
Toi: And I also have a favour to ask of you two… Don’t you think that feels predestined…?
Momiji / Kaede: I–I suppose…
Toi: If you’ll agree to help me in my search for my brother, then I'll do everything I can for your request. That, I promise.
Momiji / Kaede: Um, did you find that out through your divination?
Toi: Yes. I don’t know the specifics of your request, though.
Momiji / Kaede: (I can’t believe that’s also achievable through divination. Or is it because being the head of a noble family allows you to do special divinations too…?)
Toi: Please… I beg of you.
Momiji / Kaede: (Toi-kun, he’s pretty serious… I can’t just ignore the request of someone who needs help…)
Daniel-san.
Daniel: Ugh, don’t make me make the decisions. Just do whatever you want. I bet it doesn’t even matter what I say – you’ve already made up your mind, right?
Momiji / Kaede: Thank you.
Toi-kun, please allow us to search for your brother with you!
Toi: Y–You mean it!?
T–Thank you! I’m so happy…! Thank you so much…!
Mashiro, I actually did it – I asked them!
Mashiro: I was watching from the other side! I’m happy for you!
Daniel: Anyway, tell us what he looks like or give us some clues.
Toi: Right! I have special episodes that will tell you about my coolest brother in the world – I carefully selected them just for this moment!
Momiji / Kaede: Hm? Special episodes…?
Toi: Sigh… they’re all perfect and would fit right in a video game. Here is the first one…
Tumblr media
Toi: (Ani-sama… he’s not here yet… This is where we’re supposed to meet, right?)
Ryui: Oh, you’re here… I just had some minor stuff to take care of. Sorry for being late.
Toi: No, it’s okay – I didn’t wait much!
Ryui: Yeah? …By the way, Toi, those clothes.
Toi: Huh? What about my clothes?
Ryui: They look great on you. Enough to make angels run away in bare feet. Oh wait, I guess they’re always barefoot, huh. Haha.
Daniel: I–I’m getting the chills…
Momiji / Kaede: Looks like his intimacy level’s already at max, huh…
Tumblr media
Ryui: Hey, Toi, you’re wandering off again… I already told you to follow behind me, didn’t I?
Toi: Sorry. The smell of the castella cakes was too enticing…
Ryui: Geez, alright… You’re always so clumsy, so I can’t take my eyes off you for a second.
…Here, we’ll hold hands. Don’t get lost now.
Momiji / Kaede: Clumsy, huh. That’s a pretty standard line.
Daniel: They can just call each other if they get lost, right…?
Momiji / Kaede: (Actually, it’d be better to get some information about him, like his height or where he’s likely to go…)
Mashiro: Toi, you didn’t explain the important part!
Toi: Ah, you’re right! Oh, no!
Toi: Ani-sama… can I come closer to you?
Ryui: …Yeah.
Toi: …
Ryui: …
Toi: (Hold his hand…)
Ryui: ……! You…
Toi: (Oh, he tightly squeezed back… I want to touch him more!)
Ryui: W–What’s wrong with you? You’re really aggressive today… Hey, where are you touching…!? Damn it, I’m not gonna let you do whatever you want…!
…I can touch you back, right?
Daniel: This is definitely seen through rose-coloured glasses or something…! If there was a sandbag here, I would’ve punched the living daylights outta it while yelling at the top of my lungs.
Ryui: …Oh, uhh, have you been having some nice dreams lately?
You’re the one… I’m most worried about in this world.
If you’re not, then I’ll stay with you until morning.
…You know what that means, right?
Daniel: ……
Momiji / Kaede: (There’s a dead look in Daniel-san’s eyes…)
Toi: That Ani-sama was soooo cool! You think so too, right, Mashiro?
Mashiro: Of course – I have the image saved in my mind! It was the best Ani-sama for sure~!
Toi: Right~? I think so, too!
Momiji / Kaede: R–Right… Anyway, I guess he’s a really nice brother…?
Toi: And… oh, no – it’s already this late!
Momiji / Kaede: What’s wrong?
Toi: Actually… There's one more person who will lead me to my brother.
All three of you have to be together at a certain place by 11PM.
Momiji / Kaede: (There’s only an hour left…!)
Let’s hurry and get ready! Do you know where that place is?
Toi: Yes. It’s in Hama and it won’t take us that long to get there.
Sorry for being so flustered. I’ll go change so please wait in front of the store.
Tumblr media
Daniel: Man… to think there’s supposed to be another person involved. And there’s all this fate stuff too.
Momiji / Kaede: Yeah. But don’t you feel a bit excited?
Daniel: You think this is exciting? I don’t believe in divination – it’s all just a big pain in the neck.
Toi: Thank you for waiting!
Momiji / Kaede: Oh, Toi-kun… wait.
Toi-kun… didn’t you attend Ev3ns’ Omotenashi Concert?
Toi: Huh?
Daniel: What? Did you two actually know each other?
Momiji / Kaede: No, I didn’t directly speak to him. I just noticed him in the crowd.
I think I was patrolling the venue then, but I remember since he really stood out.
Toi: I did attend their concert. D–Don’t tell me…
Are you part of… Chii-sama’s… Ev3ns’ management…!?
Momiji / Kaede: Yeah.
Toi: I–I–Is that true!? Oh, my god! I can’t believe I got to meet someone who works closely with Chii-sama!
Momiji / Kaede: (Woah… Toi-kun’s eyes are sparkling…!)
Toi: Chii-sama is a gifted person who only exists once every one thousand years! His fan-service is amazing and his dance is the best!
Chii-sama is someone who was born to be an idol! I’ve always been such a huge fan!
Mashiro: Stop right there, Toi. Things will get troublesome if your grandfather learns of this.
You should head off quietly.
Toi: Oh… you’re right. Sorry.
Momiji / Kaede: It’s fine, I don’t mind.
Daniel: Ugh… we’re doing overtime into midnight tonight…? What a drag. I can come to work late tomorrow, right? Like eight hours late?
Momiji / Kaede: No, you can’t.
Toi: Alright, Mashiro, look after the place while I’m gone.
Mashiro: Leave it to me!
Momiji / Kaede: (Still… to think that Toi-kun is Chihiro-kun’s fan and even came to the concert.)
(Tonight’s all about fate, huh… The place we’re about to head to is in ward no.18, too.)
(I have a feeling the encounters we’ll have next will be connected to the formation of the Night Group… Yeah, I can definitely feel it.)
(After all, it’s a fateful night…)
Daniel: Hey, what’re doin’ just standing there. It’s this way.
Momiji / Kaede: Right!
(I’m starting to get excited…!)
