A09: HAMA Tours Party

Characters: Nagi, Yodaka, Kafka, Renga, Liguang, Kinari, Chihiro, Raito, Yachiyo, Sakujiro, Daniel & Nayuki Location: Hama Summary: Kafka and the others make a toast to selecting all 18 ward mayors. Nagi is nowhere to be found in the gathering… Proofreader: Shay

ㅤ

Kafka: Alright, I’ll start the toast, then. I’m Kafka Oguro, the director of HAMA Tours.

I raise my glass to the revival of HAMA and these past few months of running around to find the right people who will share my dream…

We’ve finally been able to achieve our first goal of choosing all 18 ward mayors.

Firstly, I want to thank all of my fellow staff who believed in me and worked hard together with me. We sure went through a lot to reach this point.

Momiji / Kaede: ……

Yachiyo: Ugh, thank you so much!! I’m gonna cry…!

Kafka: Things didn’t go smoothly for us day-in and day-out. It’s completely thanks to every single one of the ward mayors and their individual potential as “people” that we were able to reach our goal.

The Night Group has only just been formed, but thanks to the Manager and Daniel-san, I believe we have the best people who can help HAMA with its revival.

Toi from “Angel Eye”, Yodaka from “Ten Nights’ Dream bar”, Netaro from “Cafe369”... and Nagi from “Flower Laundry” – Once again, it’s a pleasure to be working with you.

Nagi: ……

Yodaka: I look forward to it.

Toi: …Sigh. I hope we’ll find my brother…

Kiroku: ……!

(That’s Toi-kun…? But where’s Ryui-kun…?)

Chihiro: Oh~? Weren’t you at Chii’s handshake event the other day?

Raito: ……

Chihiro: Hm? Raiteen, what’s up?

Raito: No… it’s nothing.

Kafka: I’m sure we’ll be able to overcome the obstacle of having an audience of 20 million at the Night Group’s first concert.

…I sincerely welcome all 18 ward mayors who are here tonight. And…

I raise my glass for a bright future for HAMA and all the ward mayors… cheers.

Momiji / Kaede: Cheers!

*Sounds of clapping*

Sakujiro: Manager, well done.

Daniel: Yo, how have ya been?

Momiji / Kaede: Everyone, thank you so much for everything you’ve done… cheers!

Yachiyo: Cheers~!! We’re like a bunch of rich people from an American drama~!

Nayuki: Oh, you’re having juice, Manager?

Daniel: What the? You’re not a non-drinker so you should’ve gone with alcohol.

Momiji / Kaede: That’s true but I still have work after this.

Yachiyo: Eek! I’ve got work too but I’m still drinking…!

Momiji / Kaede: Oh, you’re not a lightweight, so you should be fine, Yachiyo-kun.

Yachiyo: Yep! I’ll work hard even when I’m drunk!

Nayuki: You can be quite troublesome when you’re drunk, so I recommend working in your own room, Manager.

Sakujiro: I’m happy to see you two working so hard. In any case, we’re finally standing at the start line.

Yachiyo: The Night Group has 4 members so they’re one member short compared to the other groups.

Momiji / Kaede: That’s what happens when you're trying to divide 19 members into 5 groups.

Daniel: Well, this is where the hard part starts. Don’t let your guard down, Manager.

Momiji / Kaede: I won’t! I’ll brace myself and work hard for the company and HAMA–

Daniel: Woah, stop, stop. Your seriousness is gonna ruin the taste of my alcohol.

Momiji / Kaede: W-Wha…?

Sakujiro: Indeed, I don’t think the god of travel will be angered if you relax today.

Daniel: Alrighty, my next drink’s callin’ me so see ya later.

Yachiyo: Oh, I’m gonna get another serving of that expensive-looking roast beef…

Nayuki: Fuefuki-san, I can get a plate for you if you’d like. I’m scared you might crash into the chocolate fondue right next to you.

Momiji / Kaede: Ahaha…

Sakujiro: And I shall greet the other guests. Please enjoy the banquet – bye for now.

Momiji / Kaede: Sure, see you later.

……

(We’ve finally found all 18 ward mayors. It feels like a dream…)

Kafka: Are you enjoying yourself?

Momiji / Kaede: Oh, Kafka. Good job on the toast earlier. I’m just getting teary-eyed realising how far we’ve come since that day on the rooftop.

*Nagi appears in the background*

Kafka: Yeah? Hearing you say that makes me really happy. Thanks.

By the way, where’s Nagi? I wanted to ask him how he’s settling in at HAMA House.

I thought he’d be with you.

Momiji / Kaede: Yeah… I don’t think he feels comfortable there yet. I figured I could stay with him today but I don’t see him anywhere. I wonder if he’s taking a break somewhere.

Nagi: ……

(Actually, I’ve been diagonally behind them the entire time, but neither of them have noticed me.)

Sonia: Um, Nagi-san, what’re you doing her–

Nagi: Shh. It’s fine.

Sonia: But…

Nagi: Look, even if they notice me, I’ll just be making them feel guilty for what happened for the past 2 months. Besides…

Both of them might end up getting squashed under the catering table all of a sudden if I started talking to them.

Sonia: Will that really happen? Looks to me like the table is firmly secured to the floor, though.

Nagi: No, no one knows what will happen. This is my first time being invited to a party. I don’t know what normally “happens” at one.

Only God knows what will happen… It wouldn’t be strange if a large number of aliens were to raid this happy environment. I’m worried. I can barely sit still. My heart can’t deal with this.

Okay. I should head home as quickly as I can.

Sonia: What!?

Renga: Here you are, Nagi!

Nagi: …Oh, Renga. And Raito-san.

Raito: Hey. We haven’t seen each other since the leader meet-up at the company office, right? Welcome to HAMA House, Nagi. You, too, Sonia.

Sonia: It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Renga: I can’t believe someone as nice as you is in the Night Group and you’re also the leader. That’s reassuring for me too–

Nagi: It’s far too much for my heart to handle.

Renga: Huh?

Nagi: Oh, uhh, thanks for the invite, I guess.

Raito: Haha, what’re you saying? This is going to be your home starting today.

Nagi: Oh, right. Sorry, just a habit. I’m a bit flustered since it’s an environment I’m not quite used to yet.

Renga: Oh, I thought so. You’re, uh… not really good at handling these sorts of things, huh. Are you okay?

Raito: You’re so kind and considerate towards the newcomer, Renga. 

Renga: I–I’m not trying to be considerate or something… Oh, the toilet’s over there, if you’re wondering.

Nagi: Oh, yeah. I know.

Sonia: Nagi-san couldn’t get used to the environment and holed himself up in there 5 times already.

Nagi: Shhh.

Raito: Renga, bringing the toilet up while we’re eating might not be the most appropriate.

Renga: I–I didn’t mean it that way…! He looked pretty gloomy despite it being a celebration today, so I wondered if he upset his stomach or something…

Nagi: This is something I’ve had since I was born, so it’s okay. Anyway, how is the rose doing?

Renga: Oh, right, the rose! Thanks to you, my grandmother’s roses were finally able to bloom!

It’s all starting to take shape with the pruning techniques you showed me.

Nagi: I see you’re well-liked by the plants. You’re a quick-learner too – maybe you’re a gardening genius.

Renga: Wow, really!? I’m a gardening genius…? I–I don’t think that’s quite right, though…

Raito: Renga, you wanted to talk about Nagi, right?

Renga: O–Oh, right. How have you been? Good?

Nagi: Yep. I even delivered flowers for your lounge.

Renga: Oh, yeah. I got Nagi to pick out some flowers for my lounge and the guests love it…

Nagi: I wouldn’t have been able to put it together had it not been for your ideas. So that was all you, Renga.

Renga: Nah… I don’t have the knack for that…! Oh, but I did take time to think about what would suit the Nishizono family’s image… Ugh, so who’s the one that did a good job here…?

Raito: Haha. It’s fine to say it was thanks to both of your efforts.

*In another part of the room*

Yodaka: “Wild Seven - Executive Omega”, the famous sake brand. To think I would see it here.

……

(A crisp taste and a fruity aftertaste… Ahh, I’d love to have this in a glass rimmed with sugar or salt.)

(There should be some in the catering corner…)

*Bump*

Liguang: ……

Yodaka: Oh… I’m sorry. It seems I bumped into your shoulder.

I didn’t cause you to drop your glass, did I?

Liguang: …No.

Yodaka: Thank goodness. I’m Yodaka Natsume, no.17’s ward mayor. Pleased to meet you.

Liguang: (...A handshake?)

I’m Lu Liguang – the 4th ward mayor.

*Flash*

Yodaka: ……

Liguang: Oh?

Yodaka: (A part of the skin on his ring finger is hardened. This means…)

Liguang: (This guy is also a mahjong enthusiast.)

Yodaka: ……

Liguang: ……

Yodaka: What’s your mahjong history?

Liguang: I held a mahjong tile when I was in my mother’s womb.

Yodaka: I see… I’d love to see your excellent play in person one day.

How about a game sometime?

Liguang: Sure but I’d prefer at least another player…

Oi.

Kinari: ?

Liguang: Can you play mahjong?

Kinari: I have never played, but I can install the rules in less than a minute.

Yodaka: Great. How about tonight, then? I wouldn’t mind playing as a group of three, but I’ll look for a fourth player just in case.

Liguang: I don’t mind but I won’t be giving you any counting sticks.

Yodaka: Hehe. You’re the type of person to steal and hide the woman you’d want, hm? The counting sticks will choose the side they prefer. …That will be me, of course. Kinari: ……

B24: Waiting Anxiously for Several Nights

Characters: Yodaka, Nagi, Ryui, Netaro, Toi, Tao, Chihiro, Kiroku, Ushio, Nanaki & Kinari Location: HAMA Summary: Nagi and Ryui step up on stage and begin their natural and unique comedy skit. It seems the audience unexpectedly enjoys their jokes…

ㅤ

Translator’s Notes ☽.‎˖

NureNezumi: Stylised in English but literally means a “wet rat”.

Momiji / Kaede: So, Yodaka-san is still at the bar!?

Toi: ”Yes! Please find him! We’re all waiting for you!”

Momiji / Kaede: (Good thing I started heading to the bar anyway…!)

Thanks, Toi-kun. I’ll call you again soo–

Toi: “Oh, wait. Netaro-san wants to tell you something…”

Netaro: “Doo Doo, are you there? There’s been a traffic accident 5 kilometres in front, so you're gonna get stuck.”

Momiji / Kaede: Huh…?

Netaro: “I’ll take you to the bar using my secret path.”

“Head Southwest 300 metres ahead, turn left at the second traffic light and then turn right at the end of the road.”

Momiji / Kaede: G–Got it…!

“But how are you navigating me!?”

Netaro: Hm~ That’s because I’m connected ♪

Laika: Straight, straight, traffic jam!

Lai Lai, will aim for the Big Dipper, booohhh.

Nagi: “Thank you for coming to see L4mps’ concert tonight. This may be sudden, but I’m actually someone who is very unlucky.”

Ryui: “It’s either that or he’s just super clumsy.”

Nagi: “I’m Hachinoya, the kind of guy who didn’t realise I was blasting the radio out loud on the train because I didn’t know my earphones weren’t connected to my phone properly. And this is…”

Ryui: “I’m Ryui. Yeah, real clumsy people like you do exist, huh.”

Nagi: “I was wondering if I’d gotten deaf, so I kept raising the volume.”

Ryui: “Your earphones must have the best noise-cancelling features ever. You should thank the people who made ‘em.”

Nagi: “Speaking of which, there’s a confession I gotta make, Ryui.”

Ryui: “What?”

Nagi: “Yesterday, during the meeting, I accidentally spilt tea on my crotch, but did you notice my pants were different before and after the meeting?”

Ryui: “NO, HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW THAT!? AND WHO THE HELL IS KEEPING TABS ON THE COLOUR OF YOUR PANTS!?”

Nagi: “Thank goodness. I couldn’t tell if you did and just chose to ignore it because you’re nice, or if you just didn’t notice at all…”

“If you thought it was because I spilt something on my pants, then it would hurt my dignity and my masculinity.”

Ryui: “YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW! This is stupid.”

Nagi: “I was really worried and wondered if I should just explain myself, or if I could bet on the chance that you wouldn’t notice.”

Ryui: “You already lost your dignity the moment you spilt that tea. There’s no point in keepin’ that tiny shred of pride you’ve got left.”

Nagi: “Then, do you wanna tell them about how you started working out all of a sudden, so that that tiny bit of your right shoulder that’s showing would look good?”

Ryui: “DON’T TELL ‘EM ABOUT THAT! I’M GONNA KILL YA!”

Audience A: Wahahahaha! Those two are hilarious! What else ya got!?

Tao: Wow… Hachinoya-san and Ryui-san are pretty good! They’re confident and have the comedy timing down pat…

And they’re doing this impromptu, too…! Who would’ve known we actually had comedy kings at our company…!

Chihiro: Ahaha! Considering all you do is game and watch comedy videos, then those two must really be something, huh, Tao~♪

Kiroku: A–Ah…!

Ushio: Hey, why did you suddenly stand up?

Kiroku: I’ve heard… this story… on the radio before… This style of unique storytelling… is definitely… [*]NureNezumi-san… who frequently sends in jokes… to the radio show I listen to… I’m a big fan…!

Ushio: What?

Audience B: It’s a pretty unique type of comedy, but I guess it’s not so bad! This is definitely some sort of warm-up act before the actual performance, right?

Audience C: But I wish the actual concert would start already. I live far away, so I’m worried I might not be able to catch the last train…

Hakkei: ……

(The comedy act does seem quite natural, but I’m guessing something has happened…)

*The crowd laughs*

Nagi: (I thought my jokes weren’t that funny, but it’s actually coming together thanks to Ryui’s quips.)

Ryui, let’s continue this until the Manager and Yodaka-san come back.

Ryui: ‘Kay… Anyway, is this really funny? We’re just talking like we usually do.

Nagi: I’ve got more jokes up my sleeve, so I could keep going until morning if need be–

*The lights turn off*

Nagi: …Huh?

Ryui: What the–!? The lights…

Nanaki: W–What happened!?

Kinari: I am still analysing the situation, but I have yet to pinpoint the cause.

Audience B: What’s going on? A blackout? This isn’t part of the show, right?

Audience A: And it was just getting good.

Audience C: When’s the show going to start again? Is the performance going to be delayed?

Momiji / Kaede: You’re kidding – the door’s locked…!?

Yodaka-san!? Are you inside!?

W–What should I do…!!? I’ve come all this way…!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ📍 Flashback

Yodaka: I may end up causing you and everyone else a lot of trouble if I continue working with you all. That’s… my concern.

Momiji / Kaede: Trouble…!? No, Yodaka-san, you’re always helping everyone around you, and I don’t mind how much trouble you cause me. And I want to keep working with you.

Yodaka: …Thank you. Your feelings made me very happy. But I don’t think I want to cause you any trouble.

Momiji / Kaede: (...No. If I don’t get to see Yodaka-san now, then I’m getting the feeling that I won’t ever get to work with him at HAMA Tours ever again…)

I need to ask Yun Yun-san for permission to call up a locksmith…!

Sojun: I’ll open it.

Momiji / Kaede: !? Sojun-san!? Why’re you here…?

Sojun: The Boss asked me to. He told me you’d most likely forget about the key and would just charge straight in. It’s an old lock, so I should be able to open it right away with my lock-picking skills.

Momiji / Kaede: (L–Liguang-san, thank you…! And I’m sorry, Yodaka-san, for breaking in!!)

Sojun: It’s open.

Momiji / Kaede: Thank you!

*Momiji / Kaede head inside*

Momiji / Kaede: Yodaka-san!? Are you in here, Yodaka-san…!? Huh?

Yodaka: …………

Chou un: Someone has come to pick you up. Please wake up.

Momiji / Kaede: He’s… asleep? What?

(...I knew this would happen. Yodaka-san said he gets sleepy when he thinks about the future, so I should’ve seen this coming…)

I knew… that, but…!

YODAKA-SAN, WHY’RE YOU ASLEEP!!? WAKE UP, PLEASEEEEE!!!!!

Yodaka: …… ……Hm?

Chou un: He has finally awoken. 

Yodaka: …Manager?

Momiji / Kaede: That’s right!

Yodaka: …That’s strange. There was a magical spell… placed on the both of us…

I was stuck in a loop, repeating today… never able to open the door to tomorrow…

One thing I’m certain… is that there’s no need for me to head towards a “future” where my happiness is uncertain – where my happiness only exists in the “past”...

I was slumbering away between night and day…

Momiji / Kaede: That magical spell can go to hell!

Yodaka: Huh?

Momiji / Kaede: I’ll say it once more, alright? That magical spell can go to hell! 3, 2, 1! There! The spell’s broken now!

Let’s hurry up and open the door to tomorrow, too! 3, 2, 1! There! It’s open now!

Yodaka: ……

Momiji / Kaede: Maintaining the status quo might be the safer option, but safe is all it’s ever going to be!

Moving forward isn’t just sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, staying still and not going anywhere might just be the right answer.

But even so, don’t be afraid to change. Tomorrow will always come – no matter who you are.

Yodaka-san, even you can’t run away from something that’s trying to change – you can’t run from the future that will inevitably come.

So please, accept it. Don’t be afraid and accept it for what it is. Even if tomorrow might be the worst day of your life…

The next day after that might just be the very best day you’ve ever had.

Yodaka: ……

Maybe…

(The one I’ve been waiting for… for a long time…)

Maybe it was you…

Momiji / Kaede: Alright, then let’s get going! Chou un, sorry, but take care of the bar, okay? And buy a new lock for the door! Thanks for your help, Sojun-san!

Sojun: Give your thanks to the Boss.

Chou un: Be careful on your way out. Have a good day.

Yodaka: But why was I asleep? I don’t remember what I was doing after closing the store… What’s going on?

I don’t know how I can face everyone… it’s so late now…

Momiji / Kaede: We’ll talk once we get there! Come on, get changed!

Oh, and! Don’t give me that talk about not wanting to give me any trouble and all that because I’m not buying it, alright!? I’ve gone crazy now!! Seriously crazy!!

Yodaka: R–Right.

Momiji / Kaede: I don’t know about everyone else, but at the very least, it made me happy to see you cause trouble for me. It finally felt like I had a hold on you, Yodaka-san.

Yodaka: …… Momiji / Kaede: I’m going to go full-speed ahead! While still following the traffic laws, of course!

Today, while I can still remain here - Nishizono Renga Birthday SSR Card Story Translation

Happy Birthday, Renga!

(Translation notes at the end)

Renga: (Today’s the birthday of “Nishizono Renga”.)

Renga: (I heard from my manager that there's a leading role lined up that only I can play.)

Renga: Alright, my looks are on point.Time to go.

Yukikaze: Renga. 

Yukikaze: Target secured.

Renga: Hah!?

Renga: …

Muneuji: Hachinoya-san. Excuse me, can you raise the rightmost decoration by 2 millimeters? It’s sloping ever so slightly.

Nagi: Got it. Still, it’s really pretty, this ornament.

Muneuji: According to Lu-senpai, it’s customary for celebrations in China. Certainly, the golden glow creates a festive atmosphere.

Renga: ………..

Kafka: Chief-chan, is that the last dish? The drinks have already been brought over.

Chief: Yup. All that’s left is the cake! Yuki-nii is doing a final inspection on it.

Shuumai: Woof. Woof, woof.

Renga: What’s going on?”

Renga: Chief and Yukikaze brought me to the living room all of sudden, sat me down on the sofa with Shuumai, and now a party’s starting!?

Ten: Renga-san, looking good~ That “Today’s protag” sash suits you.

Renga: Hey, Ten! Don’t tell me… No, there’s no doubt…!

Ten: That’s right~. Everyone’s been working hard all night to celebrate your birthday, Renga-san.

Ten: Your manager did us a favor and freed up your schedule for today. Man, everyone’s going at it.

Renga: My manager was in on it…! I had no idea at all…

Renga: (Just when I thought I wouldn’t be able to celebrate today because of work…! So this is what my manager meant with the “leading role only I can play!”)

Renga: That means… all this food and decorations are for me?

Toi: Need to align them by height a bit better… there. Acrylic stands and Uchiwa fans go over here…

Renga: …Hm? What is Toi doing?

Kafka: Making a shrine. It's a custom among fans who want to do something extravagant for their favorite celebrity's birthday, and Toi can relate all too well.

Kafka: Hand-making goods and amassing official ones... He’s been arranging merch and fan letters that arrived at your office since morning.

Renga: Since morning!? Then I should he…!

Liguang: Hold it.

Renga: Uwah! What’s wrong with you, Liguang, pushing me onto the sofa all of sudden!

Linguang: Stop messing around and sit down like a guest of honor should. It pisses me off to look at you.

Renga: You, you didn’t have to put it that way!

Shuumai: Woof!

Renga: …Are you saying I should sit down too, Shuumai?

Shuumai: Woofwoof!

Renga: …! I, I see. Got it.

Renga: (Since I’m playing a role no one else can do, I should act the part… everyone's be happier that way, right?)

Renga: …

Toi: Whew… Is this the last one?

Toi: Ah? There’s still one box left! I need to open it quickly!

Renga: That’s it, I can’t do it anymore!

Renga: Toi! Let me give you a hand!

Liguang: Tsk.

Ten: My, my.

Yukikaze: Sorry to keep you waiting. Please, give it up for the “Golden Sunrise Celeb Rose Cake”.

Kafka: We’re all finished here, what about you?

Toi:  All done! Thanks to Renga-san, we’ve completed the shrine!

Chief: Then, let’s get the party started!

Chief: Renga-kun.

HAMA Tours: Happy Birthday!

Renga: Tha…thank you.

Ten: Here, for you. It’s a dog toy.  Go nuts and play with Shuumai until it breaks. 

Nagi: I chose shears for pruning roses. Feel free to ask for gardening advice anytime. 

Yukikaze: My present is a travel bag. It has a large capacity and many pockets, so it can fit  plenty of snacks, tissues and the like. I hope it comes in handy for both studio and location shooting.

Renga: (All of these presents have so much feeling behind them. I can tell how much they thought of me when choosing these.) 

Yukikaze: …Is someone at the door?

Toi: Ah… I’ll get it!

Toi: Uwah!?

Muneuji: There was a huge noise.

Renga: What happened, Toi?

Toi: We’ve a p…problem! The gift box got stuck in the door!

Courier: A parcel for Nishizono-sama. Please sign here. 

Kafka: With this volume, it can hardly be called a present, can it? It’s more like a shipment of goods for a sales event.

Nagi: The door is creaking. Better use the front entrance.

Yukikaze: It’s from Renga’s father. The note says “To Renga, and the HAMA Tours employees who always look after my son.”

Yukikaze: What a kind parent.

Chief: Amazing, Renga-kun! You received such a huge present!

Renga: Well, I guess? Once you get on my level, that's normal…

Toi: I wonder if I can carry it somehow…

Renga: Hey, Toi! Don’t try to carry it alone!

Ten: Is it okay for today’s protag to be such a busy bee?

Liguang: Tsk, he doesn’t realize he’s just causing extra headaches on the organizers’ side.

(the Live 2D animations (wordlessly) show that Renga tries to help Toi, starts shaking, probably because he can't handle the weight, but Yukikaze and Nagi catch and stabilize him)

Chief: Ahaha… Isn’t that just like him, though?

Part 2

Renga: Nom, nom… The cake Ushio made is really tasty….

Renga: I feel like I’ve heard enough “congratulations” today to last me a lifetime.

Renga: The birthday party was fun, too.

(flashback)

Nanaki: Then, it’s a promise. On our next day off?

Renga: Ah, yeah. Thanks for the invite, Nanaki. Can’t wait for the live soccer match.

Nanaki: I’m glad you’re on board. I have two replica uniforms, so let's wear them when we go.

Nanaki: Sunglasses will be a must for you, though… It’d be something else if people realized you’re at the venue, Nishizono-san. 

Shuumai: Woofwoof, woof!

Renga: What’s up, Shuumai, you want to go, too?

Renga: Too bad, you can’t enter the stadium. Cheer up, I’ll toss you the ball I got from Ten…

Yachiyo: R-R-R-Renga-san! Renga-sa-!

Yachiyo: Uwa-!?

*sound of things falling over*

Nanaki: He fell head first into a cardboard box…

Renga: Yachiyo, you alright?

Yachiyo: S-sorry! I tried, but I couldn’t pull the brakes fast enough!

Renga: Why’re you in such a hurry?

Yachiyo: W-w-well, there was a letter for Renga-san left at the door, so I wanted to deliver it…

Renga: A postcard? Wonder who sent it…

Renga: (Happy Birthday to the both of us)

Renga: …!

Renga: I see. Thanks for bringing it to me.

(flashback ends)

Renga: It was a good day.

Renga: Who’s it?

Kinari: Nishizono-sama, excuse me for bothering you during your rest.

Kinari: I have been designated as your gift-giver as a part of the Random Gift System.

Renga: I-it’s time!

Renga: Much appreciated. Well, come in.

Kinari: Understood. Then, if you would accept this item.

Renga: A rose shaped… earring?

Kinari: After receiving the order, I discovered it while searching for a gift that would be suitable for Nishizono-sama.

Kinari: The initial search returned 27506 results. Subsequently, the list was narrowed down to 18549 options.

Kinari: I’ve heard from the Master that Nishizono-sama is partial to roses, which is why I’ve chosen this accessory.

Renga: You also put lots of thought into it. I really appreciate that.

Kinari: Happy Birthday, Nishizono-sama. May you be loved by many people from now on, as well.

Renga: I-idiot! That much is a given!

Renga: After all… After all, I’m Nishizono Renga!

Renga: (Up until now, I’ve always tried to act in a way that’d befit [Nishizono Renga])

Renga: But today is a little different than usual. I feel like they’re also celebrating [me]).

Renga: I’m glad I could stay here.

Staff: Time for a commercial!

MC: Renga-kun, wasn’t it your birthday the other day? Congrats.

Renga: Yeah, thanks.

MC: I’ve been wondering, are these earrings something you brought from home? They look great on you!

Renga: Right? It’s because they were chosen by an important friend… as a gift that suits me best! 

You can read my translations of the Mayors and Yachiyo's voice lines for Renga's birthday here!

Translation notes:

The card story title: ここにいらえる今日を, is cut off: it's missing a verb that should go after を, so the information what is exactly done with/about this day (ここにいらえる is modifying, or describing what kind of "today" it is, instead). This is possibly to make it more ambiguous in meaning and slightly foreboding. You could put fill the blank in different ways, but since there's no clear indication and the difference in sentence structure would place the missing verb at the beginning, I decided to leave it out altogether to avoid further confusion.

Some possible ways to complete the title would be, for example: to celebrate, to cherish, to remember; or it could also be a toast, if you added 祝して、乾杯 at the end, as in "Cheers to today"

Renga's manager: As far as I know their gender isn't known, so I tried to avoid personal pronouns.

Renga shrine: Japanese fans are known for their extravagance while practicing this custom, such as renting a whole studio room and lining up hundreds of items, so I took some liberties with Kafka's first line to emphasize that - he only mentions fans who "want to celebrate" and that doesn't really relay the scale of what seems to have been going on, what with Toi having multiple boxes of stuff prepared.
