leopardeyes【TSUMUGI】： ... Iori-san?
【TSUMUGI】： Iori-san? Did you fall asleep?
【TSUMUGI】： Iori-san, about the Usamimi Friends collection... I really am terribly sorry...
【IORI】： I'm not exactly mad about it.
【TSUMUGI】： I didn't realize they were yours...
【TSUMUGI】： I imagined that someone had forgotten to throw them away, and so I thought I ought to clean up...
【IORI】： Haven't I already said that I'm not mad about it?
【TSUMUGI】： I managed to find Mimi-chan and Pero-chan at least, but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to locate Roppu-chan...
【TSUMUGI】： I even tried going around to a few convenience stores, but everything with a Roppu-chan magnet was sold out...
【IORI】： That's because Roppu-chan is rare.
... At least, I've heard rumours such to that extent.
【IORI】： I don't make a habit of collecting foolish things like cute character magnets, after all.
【TSUMUGI】： You mean, you weren't collecting the freebie Usamimi Friends magnets that came with the mineral waters...?
【IORI】： Me? I wouldn't have any childish habits like that.
【TSUMUGI】： But, Tamaki-san said he would give you the magnets every time he drank a water....
【IORI】： It's only for the sake of efficiency.
You can never have too many magnets, correct?
【IORI】： I didn't see a reason to throw them away, so I thought I'd use them as whiteboard magnets. That's all.
【TSUMUGI】： That's all...?
【IORI】： That's all.
【TSUMUGI】： Oh, that's a relief! I'm so glad... I thought maybe I'd accidentally thrown away something terribly important!
【TSUMUGI】： But you did say that you preferred cool and sharp stationary, didn't you?
【IORI】： Well, since you already went to the trouble of collecting them, I suppose I'll simply go ahead and use the Mimi-chan and Pero-chan magnets.
【TSUMUGI】： No!
【TSUMUGI】： As an apology, I'll buy you whatever sort of stylish magnets you prefer as a present, instead!
Hmm, would silver or black ones be good?
【IORI】： There's no need for you to go out of your way and buy anything further.
【IORI】： For now, I'm fine using those something-or-other friends magnets.
【TSUMUGI】： They're Usamimi Friends magnets!
【TSUMUGI】： For you to know the character names but not the series, Iori-san... You must really not be interested in fancy goods, huh?
【IORI】： That sounds correct.
But, since it can't be helped, I don't mind using them. Those two magnets.
【TSUMUGI】： Oh, no! Please don't feel the need to hold back!
【TSUMUGI】： Those two magnets have already been in the wastebasket, so I'll throw them away, and buy you new ones as a present!
【TSUMUGI】： Since it's Iori-san, I think black magnets would probably look best...?
【TSUMUGI】： ... Iori-san?
【TSUMUGI】： Iori-san? Did you fall asleep?

t/n:
1. about the usamimi ("rabbit ears") friends collection, I decided to leave their names in japanese for lack of a good translation, but after doing some digging, here's what I came up with: "mimi-chan" probably has basic rabbit ears, "pero-chan" has short ears that stick up, and "roppu-chan" has floppy ears. two of those don't really sound as cute in english, though.....
2. I am but a lowly translator but I still cracked up every time I put the words "mimi-chan" or w/e into iori's mouth...... child......
3. the original jp title is "やっぱり素直になれなくて", which... reads kind of weirdly as a flat title statement, so that's why the title probably seems strange.
4. I changed around the flow of the words a bit from the original so hopefully it still reads nicely! iori has kind of a roundabout way of speaking on top of being formal and also frank in his words, so I guess I wound up making him sound kind of... passive aggressive.... instead......??
5. iori's rabbit chats are probably my favorite of the 夏の思い出 bunch (granted I don't have the full set but) so I'm really looking forward to translating the next three!
