ena5 card story spoilers below cut

Rui: …That said, you and I both seem to be weak to forceful approaches. Mizuki: Eh? …. Oh, I see. You were worn down in the same straightforward way, right Rui? Rui: … Yes. With nothing but earnest, passionate, straightforward feelings, I was. Mizuki: I felt like that, too.

Mizuki: …If it's like that, I might not stand a chance against Ena. Rui: Fufufu. We both have quite troublesome friends, don't we? Mizuki: We sure do!

——————————————————

Minor TL notes:

Rui uses 友人(yuujin), instead of his usual referral to WxS and its members as 仲間 (nakama.) This is quite significant to him and Mizuki, as nakama means something along the lines of someone you are in a team with, like a coworker or groupmate. Yuujin is something more like personal friend, and has a lot of significance between Mizuki and Ena especially. I just thought this was interesting ( • u • )

Mizuki’s “don’t stand a chance against Ena” (絵名に勝てないかも) is a phrase I’m not sure how to put… it’s like, I can never get a leg up on her, she’ll always win. But like, emotionally. Like Mizuki can’t stay away from her lmaooo 🏳️‍🌈

Also I had some trouble translating ガツン into normal english without the onomatopoeia making them sound like they’re talking in Emu language lol

I have not read the full card stories, as they aren’t uploaded on sekai.best as of yet. Credit for the screenshots goes to @Ever_Blooming_i on twitter.

edit: misread yuujin as tomodachi 💀 which is my bad because rui would use that instead of tomodachi with the way he speaks

not much of a difference in meaning but damn i really do comprehend better w the voice lines
