Hello everybody

I am the Head of the LME Talent section, Sawara Takenori
(sawara): I`m 42 years old, an unlucky age
And at last
//
It has come
-
This season where in the midst of the frolicking many
//
My only wish is for it to pass by quickly……
LORY: OH― Everyone, good work today *thanks for your work today*
SFX: Pon
SFX: Po――n
LORY: Good job
-
LORY: The reason why LME has been able to thrive until this day is all thanks to you guys
Sfx: kurun *twirl*
LORY: It`s all due to your support~~~~~~!!

#PG04
-
MOUKO: ………
MOUKO: …The spring…?
-
MOUKO: …It`s still… February isn`t it?
(mouko): Are you referring to the calendar`s spring?
(matsushima): Well… I`m talking about my senses` season
MATSUSHIMA: … According to the President`s biological clock, it`s already the flowers blooming spring you see
-
MATSUSHIMA: Every year when we enter February, the President will start to frolic about
MATSUSHIMA: And the reason for that
#PG05
-
MOUKO: There`s an event that the President likes right
(mouko): in February
Sfx: zawa zawa *crowd noise*
MATSUSHIMA: Yes!!
//
MATSUSHIMA: You got that right!! That`s exactly it!!
-
MATSUSHIMA: Every year on that day, the President will prepare presents to of course, all LME employees and also the people related who we`ve been indebted to
//
MATSUSHIMA: Even knowing that it`s a day that the confectionary industry made up for their own conveniences
MATSUSHIMA: He says that no matter what he thinks, he can`t afford to not be fooled by the scheme to spread his “Feelings”
MOUKO: …To me it just sounds like making up a plausible excuse to fool around
-
(matsushima): Err… well
MATSUSHIMA: I won`t deny that though…
MATSUFHIMA: But you see
-
MATUSHIMA: That`s not exactly it
//
MATSUSHIMA: The President *He*
MATSUSHIMA: Really likes them from the bottom of his heart
-
MATSUHIMA: All these love events
(matsushima): He won`t care whether it`s heterosexual or homosexual, and regardless of the age and the depth of the love, as long as he is able to touch upon the intercourse of the hearts, he`d be happy even if it`s not even between humans
(matsushima): That person
(matsushima): is already a Rabumon *Lovemon* monster who lives on love ***like digimon***
#PG06
-
MATSUSHIMA: Are you listening? Kotonami-san
(matsuhima): O―i… Don`t leave me alone here
(mouko): Hah…
MOUKO: Ah…
-
MOUKO: Not at all. I`m sorry. I was thinking about the drama lines, so I wasn`t listening at all.
(matsushima): Hm……
MATSUSHIMA : That pluck of yours is good
-
Sfx: topopopopo *pour*
-
MATSUSHIMA: …And that`s why
MATSUSHIMA: If you get caught by the President during these times, I think he will definitely ask you about THAT. Especially since you`re a LOVEME member.
MOUKO: I understand.
-
MOUKO: Then I will say “there is”
MATSUSHIMA: … I did expect it but it seems like you really don`t have one huh…
(matsushima): Even a single one…
MATSUSHIMA: …It doesn`t matter if it`s just a work partner, but you`ve got to really prepare for someone you know
//
MATSUSHITA: You just can`t fool him
MOUKO: …There is no way
#PG07
-
MOUKO: I`m going to participate in that kind of stupid event
MATSUSHIMA: …Now that honesty of yours isn`t good at all
(matsushima): This girl hasn`t change at all…
-
MOUKO: …A piece… costs about 300 yen and yet…
Sfx: …butsu… *mutter*
-
MOUKO: having to give it to someone else to eat… That`s just stupid…
Sfx: butsu butsu *mutter mutter*
MOUKO: But it`s still stupid to eat it yourself just because of that reason. How much calory does one have do you think!?
(mouko): Taking the trouble to spend money on eating something that`d make you gain weight…!! What foolishness… Only idiots participate in that kind of stupid events…!!
MATSUSHIMA: …… Kotonami-san?
(matsushima): Your mutterings are quite loud you know? I didn`t even want to hear it and yet I heard it
-
MOUKO: …Anyway I…
-
MOUKO: don`t want to spend my money on such thing even if I`m told that I`d never graduate from being a LOVEME member for my whole life
MATSUSHIMA: …
MATSUSHIMA: …That… that far…?
-
…Seriously… Who in the world thought it up I wonder…
MOUKO(thkg): This evil day that eats away money and body
#PG08
-
The Valentine Day……!!
Come, give your maiden heart to him
-
A: Isn`t this just cute?
Sfx: Kya kya
B: Ah, yup, it`s so cute―!!
C: I think this one`s better, it`s funny
B: Nah, it doesn`t matter if it`s funny or not~~~ The cute one`s better――
―――I know…
-
What the girls want to do
A: I think I`ll go with this after all
(b): Ahahaha
C: Really~~~? Then I`m taking this
(c): I want it to be amusing―
With those chocolates they are buying
-
The girls are not giving the chocolates to their fathers because of their feelings of gratitude towards the fathers
And of course, they aren`t eating the chocolates themselves either
#PG09
-
Yes.
-
They`re giving the chocolates to the guys they`re in love with
KYOUKO(thkg): (Hmph)
Without realizing that love is after all just an illusion shown by the brain!!
(kyouko): Aah… I want to preach and admonish every one of them but…
Sfx: suta suta *step step*
Protect Japanese Maidens Party
(kyouko): They`d only open their eyes when they experience it themselves, just like me!!
-
KYOUKO(thkg): Bear with it, Kyouko!! For the sake of the girls in love with love……!!
Sfx: mukiu *grit*
You won`t know the danger of a blade until you experience its sharpness…!!
-
If I hadn`t suffer that severe wound, right now I would also be making handmade chocolates like it`s the only thing I know!!
KYOUKO: Let me be the first one to give Shou-chan chocolate this year too♡
KYOUKO: Shou-cha――n♡
KYOUKO: Happy Valenti
And I`d certainly be repeatedly doing stupid things for a stupid man!!
Sfx: muka muka muka *pissed off*
Sfx: kunu… *shit*
#PG10
-
Now that I think about it again
Valentine Day is really a dreadful day when a girl has to go through such a dreadful ordeal―――!!
-
Who the hell made it up!! The Valentine Day―――!!
A day for confessing your love, my foot!!
It`s the most silly day in the world!! The Valentine Day――!! In short, VD!!
From today
I`ll call it VD**Vain Day** (Stupid Day)!!
D: Oh, look, that girl
Words printed on t-shirt: SF Japanese STAFF
E: Uwaah, she`s making that scary face again…
#PG11
-
Sfx: dududududu *brr brr*
Sfx: kata kata kata kata kata
D: (Ooh)
That eerie movement again!!
E: (Wait)
Don`t be fooled, that`s her phone vibrating
-
SFX: pachi *click*
Sfx: nuu~~~n *brr~~~*
E: See

EEE――!!??
KYOUKO: He hung up!!!
WHY――!!??
#PG14
-
KYOUKO: ………
…Connection… problem…? …Maybe…?
-
…Because if not
It`s certainly not like Tsuruga-san to do it…
-
KYOUKO: Wait!! What am I doing jumping to the conclusion, thinking that it must be Tsuruga-san!!
KYOUKO: It could have been Sawara-san, couldn`t it!!
-
KYOUKO: Ye, yeah!! Let`s call him!! Call Sawara-san!!
KYOUKO: Uh…er~~~~~m~~~~~~
SFX: putsu *bip*
-
SFX: Pu… *Bi….*
(kyouko): Hah…
#PG15
-
KYOUKO: !!?
-
KYOUKO: …What…!?
-
KYOUKO: …What is this I wonder…
-
KYOUKO: Somehow
-
KYOUKO: I feel like an abnormally detestable something is approaching
KYOUKO: This feeling…
-
KYOUKO: …Could…
KYOUKO: Could it be…!!
#PG16
-
Sfx: fu―――…
-
KYOUKO: Y…
-
REINO: …Yo

REINO: Long time no see
KYOUKO: yyyYYYYY
#PG17
-
KYOUKO: YOOUUUuUU!!
You came out―――!!
(kyouko): It was really you―――!!
KYOUKO: How dare you shamelessly appear in front of me!! After saying that you won`t show up again!! You liar!!
(reino): What are you talking about
REINO: I hadn`t showed up, had I
-
REINO: During last year
KYOUKO: There was a time limit…!!??
-
KYOUKO: …I`m…
-
KYOUKO: I`m gonna tell Tsuruga-san…!!
REINO: I don`t particularly care anyway
(It won`t hurt or even itch if I don`t get to see him directly)
REINO: But
//
REINO: I just want to talk about exchanging promises to give me chocolate on Valentine
***I changed a little the phrases to suit the bubbles coming**
#PG18
-
REINO: Asking him for permission for that and everything
REINO: is probably just a nuisance for him
-
-
KYOUKO: …What did you say…?
-
REINO: Asking him for permission for that and everything is probably just a nuisance for him
KYOUKO: Before that――――――!!!
(kyouko): In fact, the lines that you just ignored without emphasizing them――!!
“I just want to talk about exchanging promises to give me chocolate on Valentine”
#PG19
-
KYOUKO: …Why in the world SHOULD I GIVE you chocolate…!?
KYOUKO: By any means, please……
REINO: It`s only this time, got it?
(reino): Can`t help it then.
What the hell is that arrangement!! Pissing me off…!!
KYOUKO: And trying to extract a promise from me to top it…!!
-
REINO: That`s because you really want me to accept the chocolate to the point that you can`t bear it anymore.
KYOUKO: Most certainly not――!!
(kyouko): Why should I give it to you who I don`t even like!!
KYOUKO: This is the human world
-
KYOUKO: That incomprehensible logic of hell isn`t accepted here!!
(kyouko): If you don`t cut that out I`ll ask a master of Yin and Yang from someplace to exorcise you!!
REINO: …She still thinks I`m a denizen of hell huh…
//
REINO: She`s still a surprisingly funny woman
-
REINO: …Okay…
//
REINO: I get it
REINO: Then I`ll change my phrasing
-
REINO: I
REINO: want to receive chocolate from Kyouko
#PG20
-
KYOUKO: WHY?
-
REINO(thkg): …And that side of hers※ is still dead huh
※The love circuit inside the brain
Suspicion
Doubt
Caution
-
REINO: ……
REINO: ..And you asked me why
//
REINO: Because Valentine Day is
-
REINO: a day when a man receives chocolate from the woman he likes
KYOUKO: (E?)
No, no
-
KYOUKO: It`s a day when a girl gives chocolate to a man she likes!!
(kyouko): Remember it well, you denizen of hell!!
REINO(thkg): She ignored it perfectly
(I even said it directly. “the woman he likes = herself” just doesn`t link huh)
REINO(thkg): You`re really amazing
Impressed
REINO(thkg): …Oh well…
REINO(thkg): I`d just go with my earlier plan then…
KYOUKO: Got it!?
//
KYOUKO: That`s Valentine!! So
#PG21
-
KYOUKO: I who don`t even like you will not give you chocolate!!
-
KYOUKO: Do you understand!?
REINO: …Aah *Yeah*…
-
REINO: …That`s why…

Sfx: huh…
