Yuki | I think I’m feeling this for the costume design. Next up is... |
Masumi | —— |
Yuki | Hm? |
Masumi | Although I hide it - It still appears on my face - My fond love for you...[1] |
Yuki | Karuta practice? |
Masumi | …Yeah. |
Yuki | Sakuya already said this, but you’ve been acting awfully eager lately. |
| What’s gotten you so motivated? |
Masumi | ...The hina dolls. |
Yuki | Huh? |
Masumi | Apparently we had hina dolls in the storage that were used as props. |
| However, we might not be able to decorate the dorm by Hinamatsuri because Manager lent them to another troupe. |
| Director was disappointed when she heard that. |
| But there might be hina dolls among the prizes in this contest. |
| So I’m going to win and then give her the dolls as a gift. |
Yuki | So that’s why... Honestly, you’re so dogged. |
| First of all, we don’t know if they’ll even have the dolls among the bonus prizes. |
Masumi | They said that the bonus prize was related to Hinamatsuri, so it’s a possibility. |
Yuki | Huh… But honestly, I’d be happy if it’s hina dolls too. |
| After all, it feels better to display those gorgeous dolls. It’s not Hinamatsuri without them. |
Masumi | …… |
Yuki | What now? |
Masumi | ...Nothing in particular. |
| If that’s how you feel, then you’ll definitely win too. |
Yuki | Yeah yeah. |
| |
Sakuya | Wow… It’s really bustling here! Looks like a lot of guests came too. |
Izumi | All of the contest participants are wearing a variety of Odairi-sama costumes. |
| You guys look great too! |
Masumi | Being praised by you makes me happy... |
Kumon | These Odairi-sama costumes are super duper stylish and cool! That’s our Yuki for ya! |
Sakuya | Yeah! The flowery designs are really pretty too! |
Yuki | Naturally. |
Hisoka | Yuki’s costume is cute too. |
Izumi | It’s beautiful and gorgeous! |
Homare | Hrm, calling it “elegant” would be very appropriate. |
Host | Now, are all the contestants ready? |
| Then let’s start the Odairi-sama Contest and the Ohina-sama Contest at once! |
| |
Izumi | So this is where the first theme is. |
Host | Our first competitive event will be… “Haiku”! |
| Japanese people should be able to compose beautiful haiku! Please present your original haiku! |
Kumon | Looks like the stuff Homare-san taught me will be helpful now! Alright, I’ll do my best! |
Izumi | (What kind of haiku will everyone write?) |
| |
Kumon | Ta-dah! Here it is… My haiku! I wrote about playing baseball in a field where you can see the cherry blossoms! |
| “The cherry blossoms - are blooming triumphantly - a strike, batter out!” |
Spectator A | Ahaha, that was energetic and cute! |
Spectator B | Uh-huh, and it was very spring-like too! |
Sakuya | Wow, that sounds like a fun haiku! |
Izumi | Fufu, it’s very Kumon. |
Host | That got some considerably high praise! Now, up next is... |
Masumi | …I wrote about my feelings for her. |
| “My love for you is - buried far deep underneath - the lone cherry tree” |
Host | Ooh! Such a passionate love poem...! |
Spectator A | It’s super romantic…! |
Spectator B | And yet I can feel its sorrow as well as its sweetness… Isn’t it a masterpiece that will go down in history?! |
Yuki | His entire haiku was dedicated to the Director. |
Hisoka | It’s how he normally operates. |
Izumi | B-but they’re calling it a masterpiece! Just what we expect from Masumi-kun! |
| (Still, it’s kinda embarrassing...) |
Sakuya | It’s Homare-san’s turn! |
Homare | Now then… |
| “Singing and dancing - while the spring breeze is blowing”... |
| No, this is unsatisfactory. |
| ……The blossoms are in full bloom, with a radiant and brilliant spring breeze, we sing and dance during this fantastic festival~! |
Izumi | I-I don’t think that’s a haiku anymore… |
Hisoka | It’s his usual poem. |
Masumi | He’s not even speaking in meter. |
Homare | How wonderful… Everyone’s masterpieces will keep my poetic inspiration rising! |
Yuki | He’s entered his own little world. |
Kumon | Homare-saaaaan, come baaaack! |
