Alrighty, here I goo~☆

Yeah, come on now! Bring it on, Akehoshi! Try to defeat me! Go for the shot, I’ll take on the challenge! I’ll take everything you’ve got… ☆

Uwah, he’s so obnoxious… Chi~chan-buchou’s always like this when he’s on defense…1

It’s kinda gross, so paaass~☆

Don’t run away, Akehoshi! Aren’t you a boy!? Face me head on! Strike me with everything you’ve got…☆

Woah— Why’s he chasing me!? I don’t have the ball anymore! Gaaah, he’s so annoyiiing!!

Woah—

I caught the ball, but what am I supposed to do with it now…?

Huhh!? You haven’t picked up the rules by now, Takamine? Even though you give off a top-notch basketball player vibe…

But right, you’re still a beginner, huh…? Well, for now, you could try to overtake me while dribbling the ball, or you could try shooting a goal from where you’re standing.

You gotta decide fast, ‘cause it goes against the rules to hold the ball for too long~

You said it way too quickly for me to get it… Uhh…?

I dunno what to do anymore… Ahh, at this point, I just wanna die holding this ball…

Takamin, get out of the way~! Chi~chan-senpai’s chasing me with a serious look on his face for some reason~!!

Woah—! Could you please not charge towards me…?

Yes, that’s it! That’s perfect, Takamine! With your tall stature, you can easily overpower the enemy team just by standing there!

Absolutely wonderful! We’ll call it: “Takamine Barricade”…☆

Ahh, stop, stop.

Could we take a break here, Buchou? I feel so worn out all of a sudden…

Mhm! Following Isara’s words is surely the right course! I just know it!

Right then, everyone, let’s rest while we pray for the peace of the Earth…☆

Is praying for the peace of the Earth seriously necessary right now…? I don’t get it at all… I wanna die…

Great work, everyone~ Make sure to wipe your sweat off with a towel, so your body doesn’t get cold~♪

It’s sooo obvious that Sally~’s way more club captain-like, don’t you think? Way more than that pervert over there~…

Who’re you calling a pervert, Akehoshi!?

But I forgive you! If you want to know why, it’s because I love you…☆

I don’t love you, so could you not get near me please~? Shoo, shoo!

Please get along, all of you… seriously…

Mm-oh? The transfer student is here.

Ah, you’re right! Yahoo, transfer student! Do you have something with the Basketball Club~?

Hm, hm… You plan to sell candid photos of us Trickstar in order to fund our activities~?

That’s why you came here to take photos of us in our daily lives…? Oh yeah, Hokke~ mentioned something similar the other day, I think?

I completely forgot about that! Take a cool photo of me, okay? Sparkle~☆ (winks)

We’re fine with it, but Makoto doesn’t really like being photographed, so make sure to be lenient on him. That being said… Can we even make money off of our photos~?

Not to worry! If there are any unsold photos, I’ll buy them all up! I’ll even decorate my whole room with your photos and admire them every day!

Can the pervert stop talking before it gets any grosser~?

Well, I personally don’t mind anyone buying them as long as they sell out. We might get a modeling job someday, so how about we take up her offer as a practice for it?

Yeah, let’s do it! What sorta pose should I make? Like this? Or maybe like this?

Well, they’re candid photos, so… Instead of posing, we should let her take pictures of us going about our “daily lives” — stuff fans wouldn’t usually see, yeah?

So let’s just take it easy and move along the way we usually do~♪

Huh, really? You sure know everything, Sally~ You’re always teaching me so much! ☆

You can stay as the “natural airhead”~ I’ll do the thinking for all the tricky stuff.

…Woah, Takamine. It’s best you stand a little further away, y’know?

Why…?

Did I do something upsetting…? Sigh, I wanna die…

Nah, I just mean that you’re not part of Trickstar, so…

It’ll be a problem if you got your photo taken without permission, and even sold on top of it… Well, I guess those sorta photos can just be filtered out and removed later, though.

It’s fine, she can take photos of Takamine and I as well! Let’s sell candid photos of Ryuseitai, too! Feel free to take many pictures of us, Transfer student! ♪

This is the “justice” pose! This is the “courage” pose!

And this is the “I wanna die” pose…♪

I just said you don’t have to pose, though… Well, whatever.

This is our daily life here, so… I hope you can get some nice pictures out of this.

Nishishi. Keep taking those photos, Transfer student~♪

Translation Notes

  1. Buchou is a title to refer to “club captain”. For this line, Subaru says buchou for Chiaki instead of what he usually says, which is senpai.
