Note
thank you so much for translating Koisuru Scramble!! this is the first time I've read your translations but now I'm pretty excited about your future works!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Ah, hello! Thank you so much for reading too~
I don't usually translate since my JP knowledge is still pretty in the newbie level ^^" I usually just translate short content that involves my faves (mostly hajime). I just went into a breeze with koisuku because it was voiced and that's easier for me! (<- familiarized themselves with JP by watching anime and stage plays without EN subs)
Nonetheless, thank you for going out of your way to send a message! It means a lot!

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 6 [END]
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Epilogue
Niki: Aaaand, cut!
Eichi: You both did so well.
Hajime: Ehehe~ I’m glad to hear that…♪
At first, I was at a loss on what to do since you just suddenly invited me for a script read-through.
Aira: Tell me about it~ I was just peacefully eating some cake with Shino-senpai when I suddenly got caught up in it.
Madara: Sorry about that~ We’re actually scheduled to all meet for the movie’s first read-through next week. But since we’re all here, we thought it’d be nice if we could all practice together.
Eichi: We planned to only practice among ourselves at first, but it’s really hard to get in the mood if we don’t have a reading partner.
Natsume: And that’s when you guys happened to pass by. I guess it’s fate that we saw each other here.
Aira: Well, I just hope we were useful~
Hajime: This movie is an adaptation of a really popular shoujo manga right now, right?
I enjoyed reading that title so much~ I had so much fun playing the role of the main character.
Niki: Ah, so that’s how it is~ Thanks to that, it was really good practice!
I’m gonna go make some yummy dessert for all of us now! Let’s all have some tea! Just a payback for your help and it'll be a good use for a break too!
Aira: OMG. Really? I’m soooo excited to eat it if it’s Shiina-senpai’s dessert! Right, Shino-senpai?
Hajime: Right! Shiina-senpai’s desserts are always so good. They always feel like a good reference for studying how to make delicious snacks.
Eichi: As expected of Shiina-kun, that’s a wonderful idea. We’ll leave it to you then?
Let’s talk about our impressions over some delicious tea ♪

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 5
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Episode 68: Ensemble of Determination
Hajime: ……(sighs)
-----
[ Earlier. ]
Mahiro: Hajime-chan.
Hajime: Ah, Asuma-senpai. Good afternoon.
What’s up? Did you need me for something?
Mahiro: I was waiting for you.
Hey, wanna go on a date with me? But this time, as my real girlfriend.
Hajime: Haha… Geez, you always like to tease me like that, don’t you? That’s not cool at all~
Mahiro: Nope. Today, I… No, starting from now, this is the real deal. I want to give you everything I got, Hajime-chan. Only you.
Hajime: Huh…?
Konatsu: Hajime-senpai!
Hajime: Wah, Nekomura-kun?!
Mahiro: Hah. What do you want? We were just about to get to the best part. Can you piss off?
Konatsu: Best part? From what I see, you’re just straight up bothering her.
Mahiro: Isn’t that nice~ Just keep on being bothered, Hajime-chan — until there’s nothing in your heart and mind but me, and me, and me.
Konatsu: You basta—... You aren’t taking her feelings into consideration at all, are you? You’re the worst.
Mahiro: Spoken like a true outsider who knows nothing about what I truly feel.
I’m just telling her that I’m willing to give her my everything, for the first time in my life ever. What’s so wrong with that?
Ah, I see how it is. You’re a coward who’s scared of getting hurt. You’d rather butter Hajime-chan up and wait for her to warm up to you so she'll make the first move. Am I right?
Konatsu: ………! You really are the worst.
Konatsu: I won’t ever lose to the likes of you.
Mahiro: I’d like to see you try, precocious brat.
Konatsu: I am serious about my feelings for her.
-----
Hajime: Hah… My mind’s all messed up.
(I should get back to class now that lunchtime is over.)
Hm? Someone’s coming… Wait, that’s—!
(I… I just hid out of instinct. Isn’t that Nakaouji-kun and Kurose-kun…?)
(They look like they’re having a fight…)
Eiki: What? Why did you want to talk to me?
Miki: Just what the hell are you planning to do with her?
Eiki: …You suddenly called me up here with such a scary expression on your face. What on Earth are you talking about?
Miki: Stop acting like you don’t know, Eiki.
You like Koino, don’t you?
Eiki: Haha. And here I am wondering what’s gotten into you. You’ve got it all wrong, Miki.
I… don’t like Koino-san.
Rather, shouldn’t I be the one asking you that? Lately, you guys have been getting close with each other.
Miki: Haah?
Eiki: I think you guys will make a cute couple. That’s why give it your a—
Miki: Are you really still on that…? Don't fuck around with me! We’ve been together since we were little brats. Of course, I know how you work!
You’re probably thinking that you should step back since it’s just your measly feelings, aren’t you? Do you think I give a damn about your messed up sense of kindness?
You like her too, don’t you?! Stop messing around and be honest just for once!
Eiki: ……Gh! There’s no way you’ll ever understand a single thing about my feelings, Miki! Stop talking as if you know everything!
Since we were kids, you were the one who always puts me first! You are the one who likes putting yourself aside just for my sake, aren’t you?!
Tell me. What’s so wrong with wanting to support my best friend in pursuing true love?!
Miki: …Hah.
Eiki. Do you know what kind of expression you are making right now? There’s just no way I can leave you to yourself.
Eiki: ……Whatever. I’ve made up my mind about this. Just get off my case.
Miki: Hey! Eiki!
—Tch. That stupid bastard!
Hajime: (...What in the world… was that conversation just now?)
-----
Airi: …Wow. I didn't know that the story developed like that…
Hajime: Yeah… Sorry. I really wanted to talk to you about it but I didn’t know where to start. I just couldn’t find the right words.
My mind’s all just messed up right now… I don’t know what to do at all…
Airi: Really?
Hajime: Huh?
Airi: Hey, let me ask you.
Who is the person you want to see the most right now?
Hajime: ………
Airi: Ah, would you look at that. Looks like you finally get it.
Well, I can’t really blame you. It’s hard to realize stuff when your head’s all messed up like that.
But deep inside your heart, you already know the answer to that question, right? Pretty sure someone in particular is running in your head right now.
That just means you’ve fallen in love with him. You were just too confused to realize it on your own.
Hajime: ………
…I— Do you mind if I excuse myself for a bit.
Airi: Mhm. Go for it.
Don't worry. No matter what happens, I’ll always be on your side. Go get your man!
Hajime: Thank you…!
-----
Hajime: Huff… Ah… Hah…
(No matter what happens, I have to tell him…! I have to properly tell him!)
(Just thinking about it makes my heart go wild… When I see him smile, I find myself smiling too. Whenever he’s sad, there’s this pang of loneliness in my chest too. When I’m with him, everything we do just feels more fun.)
(I want to tell him that I want to be by his side forever… That I like him… That’s why—)
I want to see you…!
…! Isn’t that…!
Hajime: —————!

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 4
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Episode 65: Farewell Marble
Hajime: Ah, Nakaouji-kun!
Eiki: …Hi there.
Hajime: Don't you just hate how it’s been pouring since this morning~? I do. It’s so humid.
Oh, right. I wanted to talk about our after-school meeting later. Say, when the rain finally stops, do you mind if we—
Eiki: ………
Hajime: …? Nakaouji-kun, is everything okay? You look like you're not in the mood. Did something happen?
Eiki: …Let’s stop these after-school meetings.
Hajime: Huh…? What do you mean…?
Eiki: I’m sorry. I think it’s better for you to not be with my company anymore. Please forget all of it — about everything until now and everything about me. Forget it all.
I’ll be on my way now.
Hajime: Hey, wait—!
Eiki: ………
Hajime: Wait, Nakaouji-kun! I’m begging you, please stop right there!
Eiki: ………
Hajime: Hey… What did you mean with what you just said? Forget about everything? I can’t understand why I should.
Was it something I did? Please tell me.
Eiki: No… It’s not you, Koino-san. It’s me.
Hajime: ‘It’s me’? Please, make me understand. Please, face me properly.
Eiki: It would’ve been probably better if… I didn’t notice that.
I’m sorry… I don’t think I’ll be the one who can make you smile. I’m sure there are other people out there who can give you greater happiness than I could ever do.
…Bye bye.
Hajime: Huh…?
………
(...My happiness?)
(Why? You haven’t even properly told me what your words actually mean... I still can't understand. You didn’t even give me a chance to talk. Are you really deciding to end things on your own?)
Even though we still talked just fine and had fun until yesterday?
(...He really wants us to pretend that nothing happened, huh.)
(Even the fact that we met at all.)
(I mean, of course. What was I thinking? We are not on the same level, after all. His life and mine weren’t even meant to intersect at all.)
(That’s why it’s okay... It’s much better to pretend that all of that didn’t happen in the very first place.)
(If any, I should be thankful for it! All those times we spent together felt like I was in a fairytale, even just for a little while.)
(So thank you…)
[ Her voice starts breaking. ]
(Bye bye…)
Hajime: …Gh… uhu… hic…
Miki: ………
-----
[ The next day ]
Hajime: ……… Hah.
Hajime: (I didn’t get a wink of sleep at all... Ah, hang in there, me. We can’t stay like this. Life goes on. We need to get back to usual…)
Miki: Hey. Stop idling around. You’re in the way.
Hajime: Ah, s-sorry!
Hehe, you caught me daydreaming. Good morning, Kurose-kun.
Miki: ………
Hajime: Hm? What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?
Miki: …A weird face.
Hajime: Hah?! Excuse me, I didn’t order rudeness for breakfast! Well, I'm so sorry that I was born with this face!
Miki: …Come with me.
Hajime: Huh? Hold up! How about classes?!
Miki: Skipping.
Hajime: What?! W-Wait a minute! Stop pulling my hand!
-----
Hajime: Ahahaha~!
Miki: …God, do you really have to laugh out so loud?
Hajime: Sorry, sorry~ I thought I was gonna get it this time, but of course a hole suddenly appears on the platform the character stepped on.
It’s the first time I saw you panic like that!
Ah, now that we're on the topic; I didn’t know you're such an expert in arcade games. You even got this huge plushie!
Is it really okay for me to have this?
Miki: I guess. It’s not as if I wanted a plushie myself. I only like getting it. If you want it then you can have it.
Hajime: Hm~? So I’m just a convenient recipient because I’m here and I want it? Well, I won't say no to that. I’d love to have it. Thank you.
Miki: ………
Hajime: Hm? What’s up? Something good happened?
Miki: Are you having fun?
Hajime: Huh? Oh, yes! I’m having a lot of fun!
Miki: Then continue smiling like that when you’re with me. Your face looked worse and grim this morning.
Hajime: ………
Mm. You really came in the perfect time... The truth is… I wasn’t up to go to class today, so you really helped me.
I feel a bit better now. Thanks for letting me hang out with you, Kurose-kun.
Miki: Is it because of what Eiki told you?
Hajime: Huh…?
Miki: I saw you and Eiki in front of the fountain yesterday. My bad, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.
Hajime: ………
Hajime: Ahah~ you heard us?
Haha… That’s embarrassing~ Mhm. I think I did something that made him angry at me.
I mean, it’s already weird from the start. He’s the school’s lauded prince, isn’t he? It doesn’t make sense that he’s got anything to do with me…
So, I’m fine! Very, very fine. If I can just pretend to go back to the time when I haven’t met him at all—
(Oh no… Talking about it myself just brings tears to my eyes.)
Miki: ………
Hajime: …! Kurose-…kun? Let go—
Miki: Just choose me. I won’t ever make you feel this kind of loneliness. I’ll always put a smile on your face.
Hajime: Huh…?
Miki: Erase that guy in your mind. He’s the worst bastard who just pushes someone away without properly explaining why.
Hajime: Stop calling him that! Nakaouji-kun is not the worst bastard! He’s always been so kind to me! I was the happiest when I was with him!
Miki: …Then why not let him know? Did you even tell him that? Even if you wanted to say something, you just backed away with your tail between your legs, didn’t you?
That’s why you’re not your usual self.
And I’m sure that guy too is…
Never mind.
Hajime: Kurose-kun…
Miki: Go and tell him what you feel.
And if that doesn’t go well, I’ll…
Miki: …I’ll take you to the arcade again. Just think of it as your save point. With that in mind, wouldn’t it be easier to give it your all?
Hajime: Yeah… Thank you.

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 3
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Episode 14: Little Devil’s Gamble
Hajime: Haah…
(I didn’t expect that thing earlier to work…)
(After that, Nakaouji-kun didn’t spare me a glance at all... Well, I was the one who looked away first though.)
(No, it’s just how it is. I mean, his other classmates were there, and the school bell just had to ring.)
(But… I thought he’d immediately talk to me like he always does...)
(There’s this part of me that… Well, maybe I am a bit sad over it? Just a little bit.)
Haah…
What’s up with me… I never really paid attention to these kinds of things before…
Hm? Oh… Right over there… Is that—
Mahiro: Haha~ So, shall we check out that cafe together this time around? Hm? I’m not playing around~ I’m always serious about you ♪
Hajime: (Gosh~ Even if he didn’t say that to me, I can feel my cheeks warm up...)
(It’s amazing how Asuma-senpai always goes at it everyday. Aside from the fact that I never see a day when he isn't surrounded by girls, I feel like his following just keeps on increasing everyday.)
Mahiro: Hm? He~y there, Hajime-chan ♪
Hajime: Eh? Ah, uh, hello. Good afternoon.
(Uu… All those girls are suddenly giving me nasty looks. I’ll quickly make my exit soon, so please don’t glare at me like that…)
Mahiro: Are you really that interested in me? I might melt with the way you’re checking me out. Well, I won’t say I don’t feel the same for you though~
Hajime: Hah?! Checking you out?! No, no, no! Definitely not! I wasn’t looking at you at all!
(I was looking at the girls flocking around you! Not you!)
(Ugh. Their stares just got uglier with what he said!)
(I should make my escape now…)
Well, I’m quite busy so I’ll be on my way. Goodby— gya?!
Hajime: (I’m gonna fall!)
Mahiro: —! Be careful!
Hajime: ………
(......? Huh, my face hasn't fallen flat on the floor?)
Mahiro: Got you just in time~
Hajime: (Is he carrying me bridal style?!)
Y-Y-You can let go now! I can stand on my own!
Mahiro: Hm~
Well, I don’t think I’ll get another chance like this though. Since we’re already at it, why not go on a date with me?
Hajime: Excuse me?! Please stop joking around and put me down already! I’ll really get pissed if you keep on doing this!
Mahiro: Tch. I’m quite serious about it though~ What a letdown.
There you go.
Hajime: Finally…
…But um, thank you for saving me there.
Mahiro: ………
Haha~ You’re very welcome. I’ll gladly accept payment through a date with you ♪
Hajime: Haha… I have something to do, so I think I’ll pass.
-----
Hajime: (Gosh. I can’t believe that just happened. Though I guess he’s popular exactly because he can be so smooth like that.)
(I don’t want to be at the receiving end of it though. My heart can only handle so much.)
Nn… (Stretching her body around.)
Hah… Being assigned to the cleaning duty is such tough work, but cleaning in front of the fountain this time of the year feels quite nice. It feels like going for a walk, so it isn’t so bad~
Hm..? Did someone collapse over there?! Oh God!
Konatsu: ………
Hajime: (Wait, isn’t that just… Nekomura-kun?)
Ah, and if I look closely, he didn’t really collapse. It looks like he’s just sleeping soundly?
(I’m glad that’s how it is…)
(But he might catch a cold if he continues to sleep here, so I think it’s better to wake him up…)
Nekomura-kun, wake up~ You’ll catch a cold if you sleep here~
Konatsu: Nn… Hnn?
…Oh, it’s you, Hajime-senpai. (Yawns.) Fuaah…
Hajime: Haha, are you that tired? I was surprised to find you sleeping here. I thought you’re not feeling well.
Konatsu: ………
…The truth is I do feel a bit under the weather. That’s why I ended up resting here.
Hajime: Huh, is that so? Are you okay?
Konatsu: Mhm, sort of. I thought I’ll feel better if I rest here for a bit.
Hajime: Then we should go and have you rest in the infirmary instead. We can’t have you feel worse by sleeping here. It’s still chilly around this time of the year, after all.
Konatsu: Mm, it’s alright. The wind isn’t that strong today. There’s also the sun to keep me warm and toasty.
— Oh. But if Hajime-senpai is so kind as to lend me her lap to be my pillow, maybe it’ll help make me feel much better?
Hajime: Huh?! M-My lap?!
Konatsu: Mhm. That way, I won’t feel the cold as much. I really feel like I’ll feel much better with just a bit of rest.
Hajime: …Alright. I guess I’ll give it a pass since it’s quite an emergency.
Here you go. Are you comfy?
Konatsu: Hehe~ ♪
Hajime: Just like your namesake, you really are like a cat, aren’t you?
How is it? Do you feel a bit better now?
Konatsu: …Pft… kuku…
Hajime: Hm?
Konatsu: Ahahaha! Oh my, you're gonna make me worry with how you're still believing my little ploy.
Hajime: …Ah, hey! So you were lying?!
Ugh. And I was taking it so seriously! I can’t believe you made me worry like that! If you’re not feeling sick then I’m taking away your lap pillow privileges!
— Hey. Make a move already, Nekomura-kun!
Konatsu: Don’t wa~nna. Not when it feels soooo comfy. The combo of the sun, Hajime-senpai, and her lap pillow feels so nice~
Senpai… I really want to stay like this for a while... Pretty please?
Hajime: …Geez. Fine. Just a bit more, okay?

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 2
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Episode 8: After School Rumble!
< A lot of things have happened since then but… one day amidst their normal everyday life— >
Hajime: (Let’s see… Which one of these should I pick…)
(Don’t think of this as just a measly seat change! My beloved comfortable school life lies on this blind draw! Of course I’ll be fired up!)
Airi: He~y. Earth to Hajime~ There are still people waiting behind you, you know? You’re taking this wa~y too seriously.
Hajime: Ah, sorry sorry~ I just don’t know which ones will have good or bad placements, so I'm just at a loss on which one I should pick.
Airi: Well, I feel you~ I wish I’ll get a seat at the very back near the window. Perfect spot for an aftie nap!
Hajime: Aftie nap? Hold up, you’re not planning to live off my notes right before exams again, are you?
Airi: Teehee~ ☆
Hajime: Don’t give me that~ Take your notes properly at least, please.
Airi: Yes ma’am~ But anyway. Go, go! Just pick one already.
Hajime: I can sense an ominous result… Well, whatever.
Hm… Okay, let’s do this one!
Let’s see. Seat number 14…
Number 14… Number 14… Ah, it should be this one. Right beside me is…
Miki: ……
Hajime: (K-Kurose-kun?! Are you kidding me?! Why did I pick a seat beside him, of all places?! What to do… he looks like he’s in a really bad mood. This is awkward…)
……... [ Her gaze is darting all over the place. ]
Miki: ……...
Hajime: (Oh God. Our eyes just met.)
Miki: …… (Glares.)
Hajime: (Eeeek–?! H-He’s so scary! Do you really have to glare at me like that?!)
Miki: What? Quit staring.
Hajime: S-Sorry…
(Ugh. Do I really have to be seatmates with him, of all people?)
(I bumped into him twice the other day because I was so clumsy. I'm sure it left a bad impression on him. And I’m pretty sure he hates me.)
(But now that I remember it, I wasn’t able to properly apologize to him for that, right?)
(Being beside him is the perfect chance to do just that. I wonder if me being seatmates with him is some sort of divine help from God…)
Mm. Okay, let’s do this.
U-Um, Kurose-kun!
Miki: …What?
Hajime: (visibly flinches)
(No, no. Don’t be a coward, self!)
The other day, I… I was so clumsy that I ended up bumping into you twice, so I’m sorry for that. And well, I wasn’t able to properly apologize for that so it always bothered me…
…T-That’s all.
Miki: ……
Hajime: (I’m so ready to be told off but… this silence is so unnerving…)
Miki: Don’t mention it. I mean, I have my own share of carelessness too, so, my bad, I guess...
Hajime: Huh…?
(Um… Did I hear that right? Is he really apologizing..?)
Miki: …You didn't get hurt after that, right?
Hajime: (Uh… I’m not sure I follow but… did he really notice me?)
Nope! I’m all fine and dandy! I’m not that fragile.
Miki: Hm. Then that’s good.
Hajime: ...Hehe~
Hajime: (I thought Kurose-kun is a scary guy but… maybe he’s actually kinder than what he shows.)
-----
[ School bell rings. ]
Airi: Hajime~ Let’s go home together—
Oh, hold on. Why do you still have your notebook and pen case with you? Not going home yet?
Hajime: Ah, sorry. I’m gonna hit the library today so you can go ahead first.
Airi: Library?
Hajime: Yup. I thought I should get my part in the group work done and over with. It’s hard to do it without references, so I have to stop by there.
Airi: Oh, that thing~ I’m in charge of compiling everything in place, so I can't really do my part if everyone won't be there.
Welp, guess I should leave you to it. I’ll go ahead now~ Bye bye~
Hajime: Mhm. Bye bye!
-----
— And, there we go. That should be enough references.
Okay, let’s get this over with~
(Flipping through the material.)
(I wonder if this layout makes it more pleasing to the eyes… Or maybe this one?)
Hm…
Eiki: I think this one is better.
Hajime: Eh?
Eiki: ……... ♪
Airi: N-Nakaouji-kun!
Eiki: Shh. We’re in the library. Look, the librarian is shooting us daggers.
Hajime: Ah, I’m sorry…
(whispering) And um, what brings you here?
Eiki: I saw you deep in your thoughts and contemplating quite hard, so I thought you’re stuck in making some sort of decision. Was I wrong?
Hajime: Well, um, you got that right, but… what I meant is what are you doing here?
Eiki: Oh. I was doing my own research for something when I saw you, Koino-san. And then I just thought I’d make myself comfortable and sit beside you.
I know I should’ve asked this before I just sat down, but… do you mind if I join you?
Hajime: .........
(Wait, wait, hold on! Be still, my heart!)
Eiki: Is that a no?
Hajime: Oh no! N-Not at all!
(But oh God I don’t think my heart is ready for this! The right side of my body feels completely frozen with him right beside it!)
Eiki: I’m glad to hear that. Well, I’ll continue making myself comfortable.
Oh? Your group picked this particular era to talk about? This seems like one of the eras that didn’t have that many major events, isn’t it?
Hajime: Is that right? Well, it was a unanimous decision between all of us, so I haven’t given much thought about it. But now, I’m realizing that I don’t know a thing about this era at all, so I’m kinda regretting just going with everyone’s flow.
I think we’re the only ones who chose something like this. I’m pretty sure the others picked more popular eras out there.
Eiki: Come to think of it, Miki said something about discussing the announcement of Edo’s end.
Hajime: Miki..? Are you referring to Kurose-kun? You guys are close?
Eiki: Yes. Well, we’ve been neighbors since we were children. I guess it’s more appropriate to call it being basically just stuck with each other because of that very fact. Ah, you spelled that one wrong.
Hajime: Oh, you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out. I see, so you guys are like that. It must be nice to have a childhood friend~ I wish I had something like that too~
How about you? Which era did you guys pick?
Eiki: We’ve chosen the Sengoku period. For some reason, the samurai freaks have gathered in our group. They’re all raring to map out the old Japan during wartime.
Hajime: Ahaha. Oh gosh, what’s up with that? But hey, it sounds really exciting.
Eiki: Doesn’t it? Even I am starting to look forward to it.
Hajime: Um…
Eiki: Hm?
Hajime: If it’s okay, can I ask for more of your advice on whether my work makes sense or not? Ah, but it’s okay if you can’t! I don’t mind!
Eiki: Fufu. You really didn’t have to be so formal about that. But to answer your question: sure, if you’ll have me.
Hajime: Thank you.

Koisuru Scramble - Chapter 1
Writer: Nishioka Maiko
Translation by: Sophie // Proofread by: Mirei
NOTE: I EXPLICITLY PROHIBIT USAGE OF ANY PART OF MY TRANSLATIONS ON ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO AI.
This story is fully voiced in-game! You should read while listening to it~
Episode 1: Scramble of Meetings
< Spring — during the time when Sakura trees aren't in full bloom yet. >
< From this day on, Koino Hajime is a second year student. >
< I styled my hair a little neater than usual. I also left my house earlier than usual. >
< And with a little hope in my heart, I wished that something special will happen today. >
< But unfortunately… >
< Now I have to run with all my might! >
Hajime: Huff… Ah… Hah… Oh no, I’m gonna be really late!
Hah… Okay, 8:20am. Thank God. I think I can make it just in time!
(How come I dropped my favorite keychain today of all days?)
(I just had to run back for it. So much for leaving the house early.)
(At least I was lucky enough that someone surrendered it to the lost and found.)
(Ugh. I’m sure my face’s just super sweaty now. Don’t even mention how unruly my hair became! It took me forever to do this…)
(But I have to make a run for it, so I guess it’s fine! I can’t afford to be late on the first day of school after spring break.)
(It’s not like I have such high expectations… but well, I finally got into a new class, and I started to feel more comfortable in this uniform.)
(I just kind of wish that today would be special~ Like, maybe I’ll have some sort of a fateful meeting with my fated one, or something~)
(But of course, that’s just nothing but a far-fetched dream, huh…)
(Is this divine punishment for having just a little bit of hopes and dreams? Even so, do I really have to be this unlucky? Dear God, that’s just unfair! Stupid!)
...Oh, there it is! Yumenosaki’s famous six-way intersection! Just a little bit more and I’ll finally get to school!
(I've always thought about it, but… this is such a strange way to construct a road. Well, I guess that’s exactly where it got its fame.)
(But this road is just full of blind spots. I can never ever get used to it.)
Uwah–?!
Augh… Ow, ow, ow… My butt hurts. I really just had to hit the pavement that hard, huh? What's with my luck today…
Eiki: I’m sorry for bumping into you. Are you alright?
Hajime: Ah, I’m sorry, too! Thanks for aski—”
(Waahh… What a beautiful person. And he’s wearing our school unifor— wait. Huh?)
Eiki ‧ Miki: ….....
Konatsu ‧ Mahiro: ….....
Hajime: (Huh? Four guys are suddenly reaching to help me up?!)
(U-Um… W-Whose hand should I take?)
< And wait… aren’t these guys… >
------
Airi: And then? What happened?
Hajime: Hm? What do you mean 'what happened', Airi?”
Airi: I mean, weren’t there four guys who reached out for your hand? Who did you end up choosing?
Hajime: ...Well, I just can’t decide whose hand to take so I just stood by myself, bowed down and apologized, and just went my merry way.
Airi: Eh~~ Why'd you do that? You just wasted a lifetime opportunity!
Hajime: A li—lifetime opportunity? You’re always exaggerating things…
Airi: I mean, that’s what it is! You bumped into those guys, right? This school’s very famous—
< That’s right. Those guys are the four most handsome boys who are fawned over in this very school. >
------
[ The Academy’s handsome prince who brims with the utmost elegance: Nakaouji Eiki. ]
[ The guy who has a gentle heart beneath his cool aura: Kurose Miki. ]
[ The lady killer senior who embodies eternal youth: Asuma Mahiro. ]
[ The cute junior who possesses both devilish and angelic charm: Nekomura Konatsu. ]
------
Airi: They're like the celebrities ever! You got super duper lucky! You could’ve at least bragged about it on Enstagram.
Hajime: I don’t really have to, though?
Airi: Gosh, don’t be so boring!
Didn’t you hear that even students from other schools would go out of their ways just to see even a strand of their hair? They’re that famous! Real celebs, y'know?
Hajime: Even so, that’s completely unrelated to me~
What happened earlier is just pure chance — a one-time miraculous coincidence. There’s no way we’ll have anything to do with each other after that.
Airi: Hey, it might be your fateful meeting with your fated one!
Hajime: No way. Even I know that there’s no way that’s going to happen.
Airi: Eh~~ Why are you giving up just like that? Don’t let your dreams be just dreams! Come on, don’t be boring~
Hajime: You’re just saying that because you find it entertaining, right?
Enough with all that. We’re up to order next, you know? Did you decide what to get yet?
Airi: Gosh, not at all! What should I get… Hm…
-----
Airi: Hm~ Is there still space for us here?
Hajime: Oh, there's one over there! And just perfect, it has two seats! Let’s go, Airi.
Thank God~ I stroke gold—
Eiki: Hello there. We met this morning, right? Did you have any problems or injuries after that?
Hajime: .........
Hajime: N-Nakaouji-kun?!
Airi: Ah, Hajime, careful! If you move too much in that small space, you’ll bump into the person behind y—
Ah, there she goes.
Miki: That hurts.
Hajime: Waaah?! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to bump into you! I was just surpris—”
Wait, Kurose-kun?! W-Wah, yet another one from earlier! I-I’m sorry!”
Konatsu: Hm? It looks so lively out there. What’s up?
Konatsu: …Oh? That girl who’s bowing her head down in the middle of all the fuss… Isn’t she from this morning’s…
Mahiro: Haha~ So everyone, should we go have some fun on our way home?
—Hm? Ah, sorry, ladies. There’s some sort of fuss over there…
Ah~ If it isn’t that cutie from earlier.
Mahiro: Hm? Haha~ You’re all cuties in your own rights too~ Come on, wipe off those scary looks on your pretty faces.
Hajime: I’m really sorry!
< I thought that there’s no way we’ll have anything to do with each other after that. >
< I thought that it’s nothing but a once-in-a-lifetime miracle. >
