    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~~~~~~!!

-
    ――――Yes

LORY:    All of my warriors, the fine horses of LME!!

It has finally arrived……

#PG02

ACT.138 Trouble Rush

Nakamura Yoshiki

#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

D:    That girl`s as confusing as always

Sfx:    nuu~~~~n *brr~~~*

KYOUKO(thkg):    …Sawara-san…?

-
KYOUKO:    ……

…Or is it――――…

#PG12
-
KYOUKO:    Hello

KYOUKO:    Sorry to keep you waiting

KYOUKO:    This is Mogami speaking

-
Sfx:    shi――――n *silence*

Sfx:    zawa zawa *noise noise*

-
KYOUKO:    …?

-
KYOUKO(thkg):    …Eh…?

(kyouko):    It`s connected right…

-
KYOUKO:    …Excuse me…?

KYOUKO:    …Hello…?

-
Sfx:    shi―――n *silence*

KYOUKO:    …

-
KYOUKO:    ――――…

-
KYOUKO:    …Ex…

KYOUKO:    …Excuse me…

#PG13
-
KYOUKO:    …Tsuruga…san……?

-
Sfx:    butsun *click*

E

-
    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:    Kyouko

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…

-
Sfx:    twitch

KYOUKO:    !?

REINO:    …You

-
REINO:    really want me to accept your chocolate

REINO:    that you can`t bear it anymore―――…

#PG23

REN:    Even my car wouldn`t fit all of these…

-
YASHIRO:    (…Yeah…)
        And I think you`ll receive more at DARK MOON`s location

(yashiro):    Maybe it`s better if we clear out Ren`s car…

YASHIRO:    Let`s pack all these presents here into boxes and then send them to the office

-
YASHIRO:    I`ll go after doing that so
//
YASHIRO:    Ren, you go to Fuji ***Fuji TV*** first

REN:    (Ek…)
    But isn`t it hard to do it alone…?

YASHIRO:    Because “it`s hard”, alright?

-
YASHIRO:    I don`t want to make you late asking you to help me

(yashiro):    Okay okay, go now, go

REN:    (Ah――…)
    …Sorry…

REN:    Well… then, I`ll accept your kind offer…

REN:    I`ll leave that entirely to you

YASHIRO:    With Kyouko-chan

Sfx:    smile

Sfx:    pekori *bow*

BOTH:    Mo… morning…
