- .......
jin
- Sagami sempai! I saw your morning tokusatsu show!
akiomi
- It seems that there is a lot of talk about Sagami Sempai being in the show. Fan sites and such are getting very excited
akiomi
- .......
jin
- .......Senpai? Please at least reply to me. Was it depressing?
akiomi
- ? I don't think this smell is...!?
akiomi
- .......
jin
- Hey! What are you thinking, Sagami senpai!
akiomi
- I believed that gossip article was wrong! I never thought you smoked!
akiomi
- You're planning to work on a special effects show for kids, right? That's not good for education! No, it's not a good idea for an idol to smoke.......!?
akiomi
- Hey, Akiyan. Don't make a strange mistake. Wouldn't you be tired if you were constantly freaking out like that?
jin
- Whose fault do you think I am always emotionally unstable?
akiomi
- Eh~? Is it my fault? You guys are just being pushed around by my actions on your own, aren't you?
jin
- Uu. I'd like to say something arrogant like that too.
akiomi
- As you say, you are a super idol that no one can ignore, so please be more careful about what you say and do.
akiomi
- You are the miracle that the stagnant entertainment industry has been waiting for.
akiomi
- It's a miracle, a hope, a dream. Don't ruin them yourself.
akiomi
- I feel like a superman. You're going to come and ostracize me if I become a detriment to the entertainment industry, aren't you?
jin
- If such a situation develops, I will protect Sagami senpai even if I have to put my body on the line.
akiomi
- Ha ha. You're not even a shield.
jin
- You're a pretty good guy and you deserve to be happy. I don't want you to get involved with me and lose your footing.
jin
- Are you planning to lose your job? It's kind of smoky, but you weren't really smoking, were you?
akiomi
- Nah. It's already fall, so I was doing yakiimo. See, when I was around elementary school age, we used to do this with my family, yakiimo.
jin
- With all the hospitalized patients and stuff, I suddenly felt nostalgic.
jin
- Are you sure? It smells like something other than sweet potatoes.......?
akiomi
- I mean, Sagami-senpai, you are always on the roof, but this place is off-limits. Also, there is a fire hazard, so please be careful!
akiomi
- Magazine publishers are starved for topics these days. Super idol Sagami jin is playing with fire on a high school rooftop! They might write an article like.
akiomi
- Playing with fire, ha, you're not lying.
jin
- Yes. It's a common practice of magazines. In addition, they will publish misleading photos with them.
akiomi
- They also have sensational headlines, and that's how they want to make sales.
akiomi
- You're basically a smart guy, but you're very harsh on magazines. Did you have something bad happen to you when you were in gurabia?
jin
- Well, there were many things I didn't like about the stars. Or rather, ongoing.
akiomi
- Until then, "Beauty incarnate that has come down to earth!" but when I tried to become an idol, he suddenly started cursing me.
akiomi
- It was written like truth. Well, actually, I can't even argue with that because I haven't seen any results at all yet.......
akiomi
- That's why it's even more frustrating.
akiomi
- Then don't read those magazines.
jin
- .......you and I must have made the magazine quite a bit of money, so why would they bother to publish an article that treats us poorly?
jin
- It would probably sell better that way. Magazines don't think about the whole thing or the idol industry at all.
akiomi
- We just need to increase sales as much as possible. It's a bug, bugger.
akiomi
- You're really tough on magazines, Akiyan.
jin
- You've always affirmed me. I'm glad to know that you also have things you don't like, etc., because it makes me feel human.
jin
- What does that mean? ........ Oops, I know I'm rambling on in my usual fashion, but I have other business to attend to.
akiomi
- Just now, the "Ryuseitai" people were looking for Sagami sempai again.
akiomi
- Sagami sempai, you're on a famous tokusatsu show now, aren't you?
akiomi
- People of "Ryuseitai", I think they want to benefit from your popularity.
akiomi
- The name "Ryuseitai" is a group of people who are heroes of justice. They are probably trying to attract customers by inviting "real heroes" to the stage.
akiomi
- No, I'm not real either. I act like I am on the show.
jin
- Any idealism or cleanliness is just reading straight from the script.
jin
- I don't think anyone believes that stuff, not even anyone in the field. It's all lip service for children who don't see reality yet.
jin
- No. ........ I've heard that tokusatsu shows are expanding their audience these days, so that even adults can enjoy them.
akiomi
- As a result, a handsome idol, Sagami Sempai, has been selected to join the cast.
akiomi
- handsome idols. ........ If anything, it's not so much that the work has become more adult oriented, but that people are becoming more immature in spirit.
jin
- That's why so excited about childish tricks.
jin
- Huhu. You're still a master of swearing.
akiomi
- Please do not say such things in front of customers. If you can't stand it anymore, please feel free to complain to me and clear your mind.
akiomi
- Everyone is dreaming of you. Even if you don't want it yourself.
akiomi
- I'm always willing to listen, just don't use cigarettes to relieve stress.
akiomi
- So I'm not smoking, I'm doing yakiimo. .......Do you want some, Akiyan?
jin
- I don't want to gain weight so I don't need it. Another magazine might write something like ``Kira Kira Prince becomes an idol and gains weight!?''
akiomi
- I think you care too much. You're going to be bald in the future.
jin
- No baldness! Oh my God, please don't misrepresent me when I'm being serious!
