Takina | Are you really that excited for this? | |
Chisato | Of course I am! You get to wear a dress! A dress! | |
Takina | But it’s a wedding dress. Shouldn’t it be more of a thing for Mizuki-san instead? | |
Chisato | Well, but she didn’t want to~ | |
Mizuki | No way! If you wear a wedding dress before your wedding, that puts an eternal curse on you! Do you children not know about it?! | |
Mizuki | Or could it be that you know about it, and the two of you are! | |
Chisato | Ah? That’s noisy, oh man. | |
Mizuki | Let the demons in! And the happiness out! | It should be “Let the demons out and the happiness in” and they usually do this during setsubun. |
Chisato | Eh? | |
Mizuki | Huh? | |
Chisato | Eh? | |
Mizuki | Huh? | |
Chisato | She sure is superstitious about the weirdest things~ | |
Takina | Even so. No matter how big of a favor it is by a customer, isn’t this a bit too much? To take promotional photos for a wedding… | |
Chisato | The model suddenly got sick. The DA won’t help people out at this times. | |
Takina | Of course not. | |
Chisato | Would Walnut help them out too? | |
Takina | If it’s Kurumi, the size won’t fit on her. | |
Chisato | See?! | |
Takina | Don’t “See?!” me! They’ll immediately find it out if we pretend to be models! | |
Chisato | Isn’t that the reason why you’re pretending to be my manager? Do it well, Takina~ | |
Receptionist | My apologies for the sudden request. I’ve heard about you from Kimura. | |
Takina | I am Inoue from the agency LycoReco. Please take care of us today. This is our model– | |
Chisato | The name’s Wasabi Noriko. | |
Takina | *thwack* She’s Nishikigi Chisato, my apologies. | |
Chisato | Wh… What are you doing…? The truth is, this person is named Kabayaki-san– | |
Takina | It’s fine to use our normal names here! | |
Chisato | Fake names are much better though?! | |
Receptionist | Well then, Kabayaki-sama, Nishikigi-sama– | |
Chisato | It’s Wasabi! | |
Takina | It’s Inoue! | |
Receptionist | Uh- Uh… A- Anyway, please proceed to the lobby… | |
Receptionist | The photoshoot staff has some preparations to do, so please wait here a while. | |
Takina | Understood. | |
Chisato | Look around you, Takina! They’re all young couples! You think they’re here arranging their weddings? Looks fun~ | |
Takina | Is a marriage a fun contract? | |
Chisato | A- A contract? | |
Takina | It’s a contract between a male and a female, is it not? | |
Chisato | W- Well, it’s not like I can’t say that it’s a contract but… | |
Takina | What kind of merits does it have? | |
Chisato | M- Merits…? There it is again… | |
Chisato | You get to live together with the person you like! I think that’s beautiful! | |
Takina | But you can do that without getting married, can’t you? | |
Chisato | W- Well… W- Wait… You’re right… | |
Chisato | A- Ah! That! It’s so that a baby could have a family registry! | |
Takina | Hm… I- I see. That does have some perks to it. | |
Takina | In other words, it’s a process you need in breeding. | |
Chisato | Don’t say ‘breeding’… | |
Takina | Hm? | |
Chisato | Look at it this way. Even if you don’t have a child, don’t you want the world to know that you and your lover are together? | |
Takina | Is it not enough if just the two of you know about that with each other? | |
Chisato | It’s not like that, but don’t you want others to celebrate your happiness as well? Then won’t that make you even happier than you already are? Like to your country, or your gods, or something or someone higher above there. | |
Takina | Mm… | |
Chisato | You still sound unconvinced. | |
| No… I mean, it’s something like instead of eating your meals alone, it’s much better if you’ve got someone to eat it with… right? | |
Chisato | Mm… It is exactly like that. | |
Receptionist | Thank you for waiting. | |
Chisato | Are we going now?! | |
Receptionist | Yes. Over here, please~ | |
Takina | My apologies. We will be done soon. | |
Takina | Just how long do you need to decide? Please hurry up and choose one! | |
Chisato | I’m stuck in between two choices but~ | |
Chisato | But this one is cute, and this one is pretty! Aaahhh. I can’t decide! | |
Takina | The both of them are fine! | |
Chisato | Which one do you think is better? | |
Takina | This one. If it’s for you. | |
Chisato | Speed. | |
Takina | I think it’ll look good on you. | |
Chisato | Hehe~ Thank you. Then I’ll choose this one. | |
Chisato | Moving on, what if you’re the one wearing one? | |
Takina | If it was me, then… Maybe this one…? | |
Takina | Well no, I don’t really know. | |
Chisato | Then you should wear that one! | |
Takina | Eh- Ehhh?? | |
Cameraman | Okay, okay. Come on, we’re starting! | |
Chisato | I’m sorry to make you wait! | |
Cameraman | Hurry up and go on! | |
Chisato | Yes~ I’m Wasabi Noriko! | |
Chisato | Nice to meet you! | |
Chisato | Nice to meet you! | |
Cameraman | Could you please go inside there? | |
Chisato | Yes~ | |
Cameraman | Show me your face~ All right. Expressions are important. Amazing. | |
Cameraman | Ahhh~ That’s amazing! Let’s go with that! | |
Chisato | Is that so?! I thought so too! Okay! | |
Cameraman | Okay! Let’s start! | |
Chisato | Please take care of me! | |
Cameraman | Okay, let’s go with that expression. Keep that expression okay? | |
Chisato | Yes! Okay! | |
Cameraman | Are you ready? Then here I go~ | |
Takina | My apologies. She’s the type of person who doesn’t listen to what people say… | |
Receptionist | No, no, it’s okay. The two of you look great together. Suddenly having two models… The cameraman is also… You see… He’s so happy… | |
Takina | He… He’s… Happy…? | |
Cameraman | Yes, Say cheese! That’s amazing! | |
Chisato | Right?? | |
Cameraman | Then let’s go for one more! | |
Chisato | Okay! | |
Cameraman | Let’s go for one more! Okay, okay. Stand by, Stand by! | |
Chisato | Okay, okay! | |
Cameraman | Then one more, who should we take next? | |
Chisato | Okay, together! Takina, Takina, TAKINA! Come, come, come over! | |
Cameraman | Hurry up! | |
Chisato | Let’s go, Takina! | |
Cameraman | That’s great! Yes, yes, yes, yes, like that! | |
Cameraman | Yes, move a little bit closer~ | |
Takina | C- Closer? | |
Cameraman | Yes, yes, yesyesyes. | |
Chisato | Like this? Like this? | |
Cameraman | Yes, yesyesyes. | |
Takina | L- Like this? | |
Chisato | I thought so too! Like this? | |
Cameraman | Yes! Say cheese! | |
Cameraman | Yes! That’s cute, amazing! | |
Chisato | Should we hold hands? | |
Takina | H- Hands? H- Ha- Hands? | |
Cameraman | Go on! Closer, and closer! | |
Chisato | Takina! Come here, a bit closer. | |
Takina | O- Okay? | |
Cameraman | Yes! Thanks cute! | |
Chisato | Thank you very much! | |
Takina | Eh? Eh? Ch- Chisato! You’re stepping on my dress! | |
Chisato | O- Ohhh! Sorry! | |
Mizuki | Something just came. From something bridal. | |
Chisato | I’ve been waiting! | |
Takina | What is it? | |
Chisato | Don’t say that~ It’s a pamphlet! The pamphlet for our wedding photos~ | |
Takina | Don’t phrase it so weirdly like that. | |
Mizuki | The two of you are already cursed, so don’t go near me! Help me, oh dear exorcist! | |
Chisato | Oh? Zexty’s in here too. | Zexty is that magazine Mizuki is reading from the anime Episode 1. It’s a parody of one of the popular bridal magazines in Japan ‘Zexy’. |
Mizuki | Yes! This month’s issue! Give it here! | |
Takina | What are you doing? | |
Chisato | Takina, Takina! Look at this pamphlet! This Takina is so pretty~! | |
Takina | O- Oh… Professionals are amazing. That’s so much better than the actual ones. | |
Chisato | I think the real one is even more cuter in real life, though~? | |
Chisato | This one with the two of us is cute too! Let’s put it up as decoration! | |
Takina | Please don’t! Please take that home! | |
Chisato | No~ way~ I want everyone to see it! I wonder where would be good. Maybe here? Or here? Somewhere everyone could see right away. | |
Takina | Please stop. | |
Chisato | Maybe somewhere they can see after going through the door chimes. | |
Chisato | Oh~ Over here! | |
Takina | I definitely do not want that there. | |
Chisato | Ehhh~ | |
Mizuki | AAHHHHHH! | |
Chisato | What? What? What? What’s going on? Have you finally gone crazy? | |
Mizuki | Y- You… You… You… two…! | |
Mizuki | The two of you are on Zexty! | |
Chisato | Ahh! So that’s why they sent us that too! | |
Takina | That sure stands out… | |
Mizuki | The two of you… What are you doing soiling my sacred place…? | |
Chisato | Pfft Sacred place… | |
Mizuki | Not to mention, what’s with this catchphrase? | |
Chisato | Huh? | |
Takina | “Their happiness threaded together by a dress”…? | |
Mizuki | Screw that! Throw it away! I wanted to be on Zexty too! | |
Chisato | That’s why I said that you should’ve gone to it yourself instead! | |
Mizuki | I didn’t know that it’d be on it! | |
Chisato | We didn’t know that either… | |
Takina | We sure do stand out in this… | |
Mizuki | I wanted to stand out in Zexty too, but I’m scared of being cursed! | |
Chisato | Okay, okay, okay, okay. | |
Takina | What’s this written here? | |
Mizuki | Ah! As long as you receive a bouquet of salt, you’ll be fine? | |
Chisato / Takina | A bouquet of salt? | |
Mizuki | It could break off the curse!? Kurumi! Kurumi, make me a bouquet of salt! | |
Chisato | No way, I’m sure even Kurumi can’t make one. | |
Takina | That’s true. | |
