Kiryu: And lastly is Togame's outfit and mine, all ready~!

Togame: These're nice clothes. They have a loose, comfortable feel to 'em.

Sociable Photographer: Wow! As expected of Kiryu-kun, what excellent sense!

Kiryu: Fufu, thank you very much.

Sociable Photographer: Well then, let's separate into two groups and move into the shoot. Kiryu-kun, if you'd follow me.

Friendly Photographer: And I'll be in charge of Togame-kun's part.

Togame: Oka~y.

Friendly Photographer: ... Whoa. So you help out at food stands sometimes, Togame-kun?

Togame: Yup, I was helpin' out at that festival the other day.

Friendly Photographer: Now that you say that, you do have a certain air to you. Like a veteran street food vendor.

Togame: That so? Well, I've only been doin' it for a few years, so I still have some time before I'm a real pro.

Friendly Photographer: ... Eh? Togame-kun, how old were you again?

Togame: I'm seventeen years old.

Friendly Photographer: Seventeen!?

Togame: Hmm? That surprising?

Friendly Photographer: Yes, you have such a calm and composed presence that... I thought surely you were older...

Togame: Ahaha, I hear that a lot, mhm. That I'm real laid-back for my age.



Short-Tempered Man: That guy... He's moving so slow it's pissing me off! Get it together!

Rough-Looking Man: It's like he doesn't even register that he was chosen as a reader model. He's lookin' down on us.

Short-Tempered Man: Alright, then let's take him down!!

Friendly Photographer: Then we'll move to the next question. Can you tell me about your hobbies, Togame-kun?

Togame: Hobbies? That's naturally gonna be...

???: Oi! You, slug!

Togame: Hmm~?

Short-Tempered Man: Yeah, you! You got hired as a reader model before us, but you're movin' like you got no motivation!

Friendly Photographer: Wha—!? Who are you guys!?

Rough-Looking Man: Photographers like you with no eye for what's good should just shut it too!

Friendly Photographer: Hii—!

Togame: ... 'S not that I have no motivation, y'know. This is my usual self. Why're you so mad anyway?

Short-Tempered Man: I'm mad 'cause of you, bastard.

Rough-Looking Man: We should just beat you up to relieve some of this stress you caused us!

Friendly Photographer: T-Togame-kun! Let's run!

Togame: Aah, it's okay. Nothin' to worry about. And about that question you asked earlier...

Friendly Photographer: Eh?

Short-Tempered Man: Surround him and take him down!!

Rough-Looking Man: Gooooooo!!

Togame: My hobby's... "eating well", okay?

<Brief fighting intermission>



Short-Tempered Man: Gu—Guh...

Rough-Looking Man: This guy took down the both of us...!? He's bad news! We gotta reorganize!!

Togame: Huhhh? Done already? That was pretty unsatisfying, though?

Friendly Photographer: W-Wow, incredible. Thank you, Togame-kun!

Togame: Of course. Well then, now that the interruption's gone...

Shall we keep filmin'? At our own pace.

Notes:

• as always, my japanese is not native and thus is prone to error. please understand this is a fan translation!
• the thug's calling togame "slug" to specifically highlight his speed. it's more literal to say "slowpoke", but i chose to use slug because it seemed like it fit a bit more into their coarse way of speaking.
