Episode 4 Chapter 2
Chapter 2: And Don't You Come Back, You Morons!
Part A
Musubi
Sigh...And so, even I was persuaded to recruit this girl...
Rona
Yeah...I figured if everyone came along, she'd listen to us.
Musubi
Rona, you seem really curious about that girl, you know.
Rona
Maybe not curious, but more like I want to meet her again...I wonder why that is?
You
Well, anyways, if it doesn't work out this time, then there's not much we can do about it.
Coney
That's where you're wrong! That girl is destined to become an idol! This is an inevitable piece of history! A selection of the world! GUTS!
You
What do you mean, guts? ...besides, you're just over-exaggerating. She's definitely a cute one, and even I'm interested in her.
Haru
Oh, is that the store over there?
Hime
Come one, come all! We got firm tofu, soft tofu, peanut tofu, and also tofu skins!
Hime's Dad
Hime, this guy wants one soft tofu!
Hime
Alright, one soft tofu coming up! As an extra, I'll throw in the tofu curds, too!
Hime's Dad
Thanks, Hime-chan. You're sure working hard.
Hime
Hehe, I am the poster girl, after all. I'll work hard any time to get this shop out there!
Hime's Younger Brother
Hime-neechan, you have any snacks? I'm getting tired of eating tofu donuts.
Hime's Younger Sister
Hime-neechan, I can't change my clothes.
Hime
Alright, just wait a moment. I'll get to it when I'm done with this.
Rona
...she looks really busy. At least from what I can see here...
Coney
I'll have a cream anmitsu tofu with black vinegar, please☆
You
She went in!? She changed objectives!
Hime
Well, if it isn't you guys. Did you come to buy some of my tofu?
Aha. You guys can't get enough of my tofu! Alright, then. I'll give you something so good, you won't want any other!
You
Uh, we're here to scout you as an idol, not for that.
Rona
Uh...if you don't mind, would you like to do stuff with us?
You
R-Rona?
Hime
You idiots! Trying to make me do such annoying things again...leave this instant!
Coney
We shall not! You show us your abilities as a poster girl, right here, right now!
Hime
Huh!? What's going on!?
You
This is starting to feel like something from a battle manga...is this okay...?
Part B
Hime
I sang...why, though...?
Hime's Dad
...what's with all the fuss?
Store Customers
Hime-chan, you were so cute! Cheers! Cheers!
Hime's Siblings
Nee-chan, so cute!
Rona
Amazing...Hime-shan. You're so majestic and really cute...
Hime
Shut up, you guys! I'm not that cute!
Haru
You're really just too cute! You should put on a frilly dress!
You
Why's Haru the most into it...?
Coney
Just as I expected, you have more than enough of what you need to be an idol, Nonohime-chan!
Hime
What's this Nonohime business? Don't give me weird nicknames like that! Besides, didn't I already tell you that I'm not cute!
You
Not cute?
Hime
Aren't idols are supposed to dress cute, sing cute, dance cute, and make their fans feel good inside?
Well, I don't suppose that kind of work is fine and all. It's just that kind of job just doesn't suit me!
Coney
Hoho, it seems you understand the appeal of being an idol pretty well, Nonohime-chan!
Hime
Yeah, so?
Coney
Your singing earlier was nice and flawless, and you really have an interest in idols, no? You can't deceive the eyes of this shrewd reganaM!
You are a girl that will be cute! You'll put in more from hereon out! And you'll put in tenfold when you become an idol!
Hime
Gh!!
Like that'll ever happen, you morons! And don't spew out such gibberish!
I am a tofu shop girl, and I have the people at this shopping mall to look out for me! Don't you dare come back again!
You
Aah, she got angry and locked herself up inside the shop.
Sure feels a lot like a battle manga, especially with Coney's nonsense.
Coney
The princess's fortress is high and strong, huh...guess this is where we must show strength! Your strength, Manager!
You
Mine!? I feel like you're bringing me out to battle!
Musubi
She's got family matters, too; how could be push ourselves to recruit her...?
Rona
Hime-shan...
You
(Rona, you're really obsessed with Nonohime-chan, are you?)
(And Nonohime-chan is pretty cute, though...what could be wrong?)
