Dragging myself out of the grave for new content? It's more likely than you think... This story will be up for a few weeks before I lock it—I'm still in the process of moving stuff over to a new site, so this'll be there, too. Anyway, many thanks to yoroshikilled for proofreading for me as always!


Natsume: ...And DONE. That's the last of THEM.

Tsumugi: Ahhh, let me check them then... Eight, nine.... Ten. Yep, all good.

Ah, I'm sorry for making you come all this way just to do some autographs... I'm so grateful for the help, Natsume-kun ♪

Natsume: Don't mention IT. Sora's the one who asked me to help make Switch more popuLAR... Can I go NOW?

Tsumugi: Ye—actually, no, there's still one more thing...

It's about the development of the fortune-telling show you're headlining.

Happy birthday to Tsuyuri Hassaku! To celebrate, I've decided to translate one of the stories she appears in—Sora Tokikuni's "Radio Wave in Love". Thank you to Peace (yoroshikilled) for giving this a read-over for me after her hard day at work.

( I can feel the unrelenting cosmic rays raining down upon me...♪ )

Thank you to rt_rst for proofreading for me as always! Please definitely read this one alongside the story in-app, Ritsu's "Maaaaakuuuuun" is soooooo cute.


Location: Practice Room

Mao: (I spent all of my break looking for Nero, but... in the end, I couldn't find him.)

Zex: Hey, Fivehead.

Mao: (Ahhh, this is bad... I'm sensing some real killing intent from him.)

I-I know what you wanna say, Zex, but I couldn’t really do anything about it, y’know? The bell rang for the next class and all, right?

And y'know what, that jersey looks great on you, soo...?

Zex: ...You think that’s what this is about?

Mao: Yikes, dammit— I mean, uh, I got my wires crossed just now. I mean, I misspoke, sorry. Please don't glare at me like that.

( this is why mao isn't trickstar's protagonist )

Airi: Ummm, if you substitute three for X here, then you get...
(Ugh, these math reviews are kind of hard...)

Shizuku: ...

Airi: (Huh? Did someone just put their pen down..? Did they finish already!?
I’ve gotta hurry it up!)

Instructor: Alright, for the next problem... Momoi-san. Please try to solve these quicker.

Airi: I-I will!

A few years ago, Ensemble Girls! had a collab with Merc Storia - just like Ensemble Stars! did, lol - so I've started translating the unit stories from there! Many thanks to Rin from the Enstars Wiki for providing the majority of the raws for them, as well as manbouwords for proofing and yoroshikilled for voice checking! First up: Your STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT, Himari!



Himari: FUHAHAHAHAHAA~AA ♪ Make way, make way! I'm coming through! Your STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT has arriiiiived!

The healer Yuu's here, yeah? You had an appointment with someone named Himari?

Yuu: H~m... I wonder where it is?

Himari: Huh? Hey, what're you lying on the floor for? Don'tcha know you'll catch a cold if you nap there?

Yuu: How'd you get that out of this!? And I'm not taking a nap, I'm looking for something!

( yuu, tired. )

A North event... A North Halloween event... Helios really was like "Let's just end Bella's career" huh. Thanks much to my proofers, Euni and Ryuji!



Ren: Finished! Will, look, look! I drew it really well!

Will: Wow, what a cute black cat... It really is well-drawn. Why not tape it to the window?

The Halloween decorations sure are piling up. There's still a lot of materials left though, so how about we work together with Akira and—... Wait, what is he doing anyway?

( there's no pumpkin emoji? )
