leopardeyes【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting.
【TSUMUGI】： Nagi-san, thank you for all of your hard work!
How has RKY Strengthening Month been for you?
【NAGI】： Good morning, Tsumugi.
I am enjoying a party every day and every night. Tsumugi, please come by tonight.
【TSUMUGI】： What party is it tonight?
【NAGI】： We shall have a curry party. Following the examples of the Indians, we will eat with only our right hand. Won't you try forgetting about our left hands together with me?
【TSUMUGI】： If I finish work early then I'll come running!
【TSUMUGI】： What was the party last night?
【NAGI】： A Piroshki party. Tamaki's cossack dance was a wonderful thing.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone is incredibly cooperative for the daily parties, aren't they!
【NAGI】： Yes. I am very happy to have such good friends.
【NAGI】： I wonder just how much happiness there is to be had on the true birthday itself.
I feel that my heart will burst from the anticipation.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone has been panicking, because your level of anticipation is so high, Nagi-san, and saying that the difficulty level's been steadily rising LOL
【TSUMUGI】： Before we celebrate your birthday, I've received questions from everyone called "Nagi-san's Mysteries"!
I believe there may be some cultural differences as well, but could I have you answer them?
【NAGI】： Of course. I do not mind.
【TSUMUGI】： Then, I'll start without any further delay!
【TSUMUGI】： From Mitsuki-san, "Even though you hug me every night, why have you still not gotten comfortable bathing together yet?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. In my country, we do not show our naked bodies to anyone outside of our lovers.
I was able to understand the workings of a public bathhouse and enjoy it, but it is truly more embarrassing than a kiss.
【TSUMUGI】： From Yamato-san, "Even though you'll come hug people, why do you get embarrassed if you're pinned against a wall?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. Being pinned against a wall has a half-hearted distance as well as a sense of intimidation, so I feel unease. If it were me, I would not show that sort of intimidating posture towards a woman.
【TSUMUGI】： From Sogo-san, "Even though you'll do hugs, you're embarrassed at having your ears cleaned?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. Thinking of it in good sense, having one's ears cleaned is embarrassing.
Sogo seeks a mother-esque role, and as I was attempting to answer to that, my nerves went into paralysis.
【TSUMUGI】： From Iori-san, "When you hug people why do you touch their butts"
【NAGI】： I do not do it to anyone else. I am simply enjoying the way that Iori will scream.
【TSUMUGI】： From Riku-san, "When you hug people, all you'll do is give us air kisses, so why do you kiss the manager on the cheek?"
【NAGI】： Because she is a woman. However, next time, I shall also give one to you, Riku. Do not be jealous.
【TSUMUGI】： From Tamaki-san, "When you hug people, even though you'll do that bubbly thing against my cheek, why'd you get mad if I do it?"
【NAGI】： What I did was an air kiss. What you did, Tamaki, was one of the terrifying rituals of a cannibalistic tribe who chews on ears. At the very least that is how it felt to me.
【TSUMUGI】： Thank you very much for your answers.
With this, it feels like we'll be able to grow one step closer to you, Nagi-san!
【TSUMUGI】： Where are you presently?
【NAGI】： Having finished my magazine filming I am heading towards Akihabara. I am going to meet God.
【TSUMUGI】： God!?
【NAGI】： I am referring to Cocomaru-shi, who will be unveiling a fantastic fanart of Cocona.
Everyone extols him and refers to his artwork as God.
【TSUMUGI】： He's an artist, then!
【NAGI】： He is the supreme illustrator. After being emotionally moved by his creations and passionately sending fanmail, even he, a shy man, opened his heart straightaway, and made a promise to meet me.
【TSUMUGI】： By which you mean, you're meeting today for the first time?
【NAGI】： Yes. Truthfully, I am exceedingly nervous.
As a Cocona friend, it would be nice if he could grow fond of me, but.......
【TSUMUGI】： I'm sure you'll be able to get along!
Even so, it's rare for you to feel nervous, Nagi-san.
【NAGI】： I have confidence in being loved by women, but I lack confidence in being loved by men.
【NAGI】： As I become hated due to my beauty and talent (Bitter smile)
【TSUMUGI】： It may be best to not use that phrase with someone you're meeting for the first time... ＞＜
【NAGI】： Aah, I want to become friends with a godly artist.......
And then, if luck permits, I want him to draw a Cocona just for me within my sketchbook.......
【TSUMUGI】： You've been saying that you'd like Cocona-chan friends, after all. It'd be nice if you could get along and have a good conversation! ＞＜
【NAGI】： I, too, wish for that from the bottom of my heart. I draw illustrations as well, but I cannot create ones as beautiful as his.
【NAGI】： His creations are always providing me with happiness.
I wish to fully convey all of my constant gratitude and respect.
【TSUMUGI】： I'm sure he'll be happy!
Incidentally, is this person aware of you, Nagi-san?
【NAGI】： By of me, you mean? Might you mean my Cocona history and possessed goods?
【TSUMUGI】： No, more like the fact you're an idol, or. . .
【NAGI】： Neither of us have spoken as to our occupations. Is there a problem?
【TSUMUGI】： What to do. . . I feel there might be a shock. . .
【NAGI】： I, too, am on edge with excitement. Please let my heart hold firm.......
【TSUMUGI】： Please let the other person's heart hold firm as well. . . ＞＜
【TSUMUGI】： What was the party from two nights ago?
【NAGI】： A Japanese Tea Party. Riku was unable to prepare the green tea, and so it spattered all over Iori's kimono and he was angry.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone is incredibly cooperative for the daily parties, aren't they!
【NAGI】： Yes. I am very happy to have such good friends.
【NAGI】： I wonder just how much happiness there is to be had on the true birthday itself.

【TSUMUGI】： What was the party from last week?
【NAGI】： A Chinese party. My appearance in Chinese clothing was extraordinarily sexy.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone is incredibly cooperative for the daily parties, aren't they!
【NAGI】： Yes. I am very happy to have such good friends.

t/n:
1. screenshots for this chat are once again courtesy of izumi1ori @ twitter!! thank you always!
2. according to my dictionary, piroshki is "piroshki (Russian pierogi; meat and eggs, etc. baked in bread)From Russian “pirozhki”", so, there you have it
nagi's parties are so global bUT WHY DOES TAMAKI KNOW HOW TO COSSACK DANCE
3. why are these questions
why
4. why are these answers
why
5. fffffffirst of all can I leave "kabedon" in a translation in good conscience, mostly because the alternative of "having someone corner you against a wall like one of ur animes" is sO AWKWARD TO WRITE second of all why does yamato try to kabedon nagi, why is that a thing that has happened
nagi having a traumatic experience w/ kabedon is kind of tho
6. sougo have you
have you
tried to clean nagi's ears by force
7. I can't tell if I should be translating nagi as directly addressing the asker of the question, or as answering tsumugi directly as a proxy (in jpn I don't think the distinction rly matters), so for the ease of my brain I've been translating them as him answering tsumugi directly, but then that makes his answer to riku look pretty strange because I'm p sure he's telling tsumugi to not be jealous
either that or maybe he's telling riku not to be jealous that tsumugi gets kissed on the cheek, idk, why does this man do any of the things that he does
8. tamaki asks nagi why he "ヒューイs" peoples' cheeks basically but when I searched 'ヒューイ' all I got was "huey" and results for mgs, so, I don't think that has anything to do with nagi's hugging behaviour
so my guess is it's probably a whistling thing? it's probably
*reads nagi's next line*
yeah it's tamaki's way of describing a kiss
9. I'm not sure if nagi is saying that there's a specific tribe out there that eats ears, or if tamaki's ear-eating (you missed the cheek by a bit there buddy) resembled cannibalistic behaviour but either way I don't rly wanna google around about cannibalism to find out, so I'm just leaving it.
10. the artist's name is "ここ丸", lit. kokomaru (my guess is that he's probably a dude and it's probably a portmanteau of 'kokona' + '-maru'), and nagi refers to him as -shi, so I've written his name as Cocomaru as per my romanisation of kokona!
11. I believe it
【TSUMUGI】： Nagi-san, thank you for all of your hard work!
How has RKY Strengthening Month been for you?
【NAGI】： Good morning, Tsumugi.

【TSUMUGI】： No, more like the fact you're an idol, or. . .
【NAGI】： Neither of us have spoken as to our occupations. Is there a problem?
【TSUMUGI】： What to do. . . I feel there might be a shock. . .
【NAGI】： I, too, am on edge with excitement. Please let my heart hold firm.......
【TSUMUGI】： Please let the other person's heart hold firm as well. . . ＞＜
【TSUMUGI】： What was the party from last week?
【NAGI】： A Chinese party. My appearance in Chinese clothing was extraordinarily sexy.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone is incredibly cooperative for the daily parties, aren't they!
【NAGI】： Yes. I am very happy to have such good friends.
【NAGI】： I wonder just how much happiness there is to be had on the true birthday itself.
I feel that my heart will burst from the anticipation.
【TSUMUGI】： Everyone has been panicking, because your level of anticipation is so high, Nagi-san, and saying that the difficulty level's been steadily rising LOL
【TSUMUGI】： Before we celebrate your birthday, I've received questions from everyone called "Nagi-san's Mysteries"!
I believe there may be some cultural differences as well, but could I have you answer them?
【NAGI】： Of course. I do not mind.
【TSUMUGI】： Then, I'll start without any further delay!
【TSUMUGI】： From Mitsuki-san, "Even though you hug me every night, why have you still not gotten comfortable bathing together yet?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. In my country, we do not show our naked bodies to anyone outside of our lovers.
I was able to understand the workings of a public bathhouse and enjoy it, but it is truly more embarrassing than a kiss.
【TSUMUGI】： From Yamato-san, "Even though you'll come hug people, why do you get embarrassed if you're pinned against a wall?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. Being pinned against a wall has a half-hearted distance as well as a sense of intimidation, so I feel unease. If it were me, I would not show that sort of intimidating posture towards a woman.
【TSUMUGI】： From Sogo-san, "Even though you'll do hugs, you're embarrassed at having your ears cleaned?"
【NAGI】： Hugs are a greeting. Thinking of it in good sense, having one's ears cleaned is embarrassing.
Sogo seeks a mother-esque role, and as I was attempting to answer to that, my nerves went into paralysis.
【TSUMUGI】： From Iori-san, "When you hug people why do you touch their butts"
【NAGI】： I do not do it to anyone else. I am simply enjoying the way that Iori will scream.
【TSUMUGI】： From Riku-san, "When you hug people, all you'll do is give us air kisses, so why do you kiss the manager on the cheek?"
【NAGI】： Because she is a woman. However, next time, I shall also give one to you, Riku. Do not be jealous.
【TSUMUGI】： From Tamaki-san, "When you hug people, even though you'll do that bubbly thing against my cheek, why'd you get mad if I do it?"
【NAGI】： What I did was an air kiss. What you did, Tamaki, was one of the terrifying rituals of a cannibalistic tribe who chews on ears. At the very least that is how it felt to me.
【TSUMUGI】： Thank you very much for your answers.
With this, it feels like we'll be able to grow one step closer to you, Nagi-san!
【TSUMUGI】： Where are you presently?
【NAGI】： Having finished my magazine filming I am heading towards Akihabara. I am going to meet God.
【TSUMUGI】： God!?
【NAGI】： I am referring to Cocomaru-shi, who will be unveiling a fantastic fanart of Cocona.
Everyone extols him and refers to his artwork as God.
【TSUMUGI】： He's an artist, then!
【NAGI】： He is the supreme illustrator. After being emotionally moved by his creations and passionately sending fanmail, even he, a shy man, opened his heart straightaway, and made a promise to meet me.
【TSUMUGI】： By which you mean, you're meeting today for the first time?
【NAGI】： Yes. Truthfully, I am exceedingly nervous.
As a Cocona friend, it would be nice if he could grow fond of me, but.......
【TSUMUGI】： I'm sure you'll be able to get along!
Even so, it's rare for you to feel nervous, Nagi-san.
【NAGI】： I have confidence in being loved by women, but I lack confidence in being loved by men.
【NAGI】： As I become hated due to my beauty and talent (Bitter smile)
【TSUMUGI】： It may be best to not use that phrase with someone you're meeting for the first time... ＞＜
【NAGI】： Aah, I want to become friends with a godly artist.......
And then, if luck permits, I want him to draw a Cocona just for me within my sketchbook.......
【TSUMUGI】： You've been saying that you'd like Cocona-chan friends, after all. It'd be nice if you could get along and have a good conversation! ＞＜
【NAGI】： I, too, wish for that from the bottom of my heart. I draw illustrations as well, but I cannot create ones as beautiful as his.
【NAGI】： His creations are always providing me with happiness.
I wish to fully convey all of my constant gratitude and respect.
【TSUMUGI】： I'm sure he'll be happy!

t/n:
1. screenshots for this chat are once again courtesy of izumi1ori @ twitter!! thank you always!
2. according to my dictionary, piroshki is "piroshki (Russian pierogi; meat and eggs, etc. baked in bread)From Russian “pirozhki”", so, there you have it
nagi's parties are so global bUT WHY DOES TAMAKI KNOW HOW TO COSSACK DANCE
3. why are these questions
why
4. why are these answers
why
5. fffffffirst of all can I leave "kabedon" in a translation in good conscience, mostly because the alternative of "having someone corner you against a wall like one of ur animes" is sO AWKWARD TO WRITE second of all why does yamato try to kabedon nagi, why is that a thing that has happened
nagi having a traumatic experience w/ kabedon is kind of tho
6. sougo have you
have you
tried to clean nagi's ears by force
7. I can't tell if I should be translating nagi as directly addressing the asker of the question, or as answering tsumugi directly as a proxy (in jpn I don't think the distinction rly matters), so for the ease of my brain I've been translating them as him answering tsumugi directly, but then that makes his answer to riku look pretty strange because I'm p sure he's telling tsumugi to not be jealous
either that or maybe he's telling riku not to be jealous that tsumugi gets kissed on the cheek, idk, why does this man do any of the things that he does
8. tamaki asks nagi why he "ヒューイs" peoples' cheeks basically but when I searched 'ヒューイ' all I got was "huey" and results for mgs, so, I don't think that has anything to do with nagi's hugging behaviour
so my guess is it's probably a whistling thing? it's probably
*reads nagi's next line*
yeah it's tamaki's way of describing a kiss
9. I'm not sure if nagi is saying that there's a specific tribe out there that eats ears, or if tamaki's ear-eating (you missed the cheek by a bit there buddy) resembled cannibalistic behaviour but either way I don't rly wanna google around about cannibalism to find out, so I'm just leaving it.
10. the artist's name is "ここ丸", lit. kokomaru (my guess is that he's probably a dude and it's probably a portmanteau of 'kokona' + '-maru'), and nagi refers to him as -shi, so I've written his name as Cocomaru as per my romanisation of kokona!
11. I believe it
