【YAMATO】: The insides of that guy's head are practically identical to a middle schooler's.


【TSUMUGI】: Yamato-san, thank you for all of your hard work!
It was nice that the recording for "Idolish Academy" ended early today, wasn't it!

【YAMATO】: Thanks for all your hard work.
I thought Tama's basketball scene would definitely go over, but everything got settled with that three point shot.
【YAMATO】: That guy, sometimes he's really got it.

【TSUMUGI】: Only sometimes, though. Nice gag!

【YAMATO】: No, that's not what I meant........

【TSUMUGI】: Tamaki-san was also very happy.
I heard that you bought him ice cream as a reward, Yamato-san.

【YAMATO】: He gets the happiest from food, after all.
It was thanks for being able to go home early.

【TSUMUGI】: Yamato-san, you and Tamaki-san get along very well, don't you.
[1]: Normally, what sort of relationship do you and Tamaki-san have?
[2]: What aspects of Tamaki-san do you like?
[3]: Do you have any funny stories about Tamaki-san?



【TSUMUGI】: Normally, what sort of relationship do you and Tamaki-san have?

【YAMATO】: He and I are both my pace types, so we'll lounge around together.
【YAMATO】: It's because that guy's really easy to understand.
When he's with someone who's nicer, his demands get gradually higher.
【YAMATO】: On that point, it looks like he's picked up on how I'm not really that nice with his instincts, and so in order to avoid making me angry, he's really careful about minding his manners properly.
【YAMATO】: Ah, also, recently I figured it out.
【YAMATO】: That guy, Tama, he's got a good build, and his face is good, and he's got good reflexes, right.
【YAMATO】: Since he's popular with women, I thought he must've gotten pretty far, but it looks like he doesn't have any interest in girls.

【TSUMUGI】: Is that so!

【YAMATO】: Yep. Think he just doesn't understand stuff like romance yet?
The insides of that guy's head are practically identical to a middle schooler's.

【TSUMUGI】: Somehow, that seems very typical of Tamaki-san and it's cute
【TSUMUGI】


【YAMATO】: That's true
【YAMATO】




【TSUMUGI】: What aspects of Tamaki-san do you like?

【YAMATO】: The way that even though he's awful at group thinking, he really likes people.
【YAMATO】: When I gave him a present of 3 dozen as an apology, he started jumping around because he was so excited.
【YAMATO】: Ah, also, recently I figured it out.

【TSUMUGI】: Do you have any funny stories about Tamaki-san?

【YAMATO】: Once before, as a joke, I told him that if he could keep a handstand for five minutes, I'd buy him a King's Pudding, so he did a handstand for nearly an hour and got a nosebleed.
【YAMATO】: Sou and Mitsu got wrecked mad at me because of it.

t/n:

1. here it is, the dreaded chat where tsumugi refers to it as "idolish academy"

2. yamato refers to tamaki's "3p shoot" as settling the match in a single blow/shot, and I have no idea what that means so here I am, googling "basketball moves" in both english and japanese to try to figure how to translate this.

apparently "P" is short for "point"!

3. googling sports terms was only a test to prepare me for the horror of trying to translate だじゃれ. ok so in japanese yamato says "that guy, he's [tama ni] (meaning on occasion) got it" — so it's a homophone w/ "tama" (how yamato normally calls tamaki), hence why tsumugi interprets it as a dual meaning of both "sometimes" and "tamaki yotsuba", making my life 10x more difficult over the course of five characters. naisu gyagu

I hate translating puns!!!! sticks 1000 translation notes on it and calls it a day!! I thought about a few different ways of how I could try to translate the pun but all of them felt Very Silly, hence why I'm making a note of it down here and leaving it as very unhelpful in my translation......

4. I see, so this chat was the source of tamaki getting snacks from yamato for doing headstands................ (tamaki mentioned it in his fourth halloween chapter!)

5. on the one side we have "literal middle schooler" tamaki yotsuba and on the other hand we have "literal middle schooler" nagi rokuya (the chuunibyou)

where is the lie

6. tamaki yotsuba: *exists*
me: *starts crying* he's such a good kid!!!!!!!

yamato's line in the first path is actually kinda interesting to me though because it's like? he's saying that tamaki has instinctually picked up on the fact that he (yamato nikaido) isn't a nice person, and it's not phrased with any accusation or responsibility on tamaki?

like, if it were phrased as "somehow he's gotten the impression that I'm not a nice person", then that would have been yamato's way of basically covering for himself and being like "even though tama doesn't think I'm a nice person, the possibility that I am actually a nice person still exists". but instead yamato says that tamaki's picked up on it via his instincts, so he's basically.... all but confirming that he isn't (or doesn't think of himself as) a nice person, and that tamaki's on the right track.

I know I complain about yamato's antics a lot but he's actually got a lot of self-loathing tbh? it's kind of sad....... he covers it up by being like "nah I just can't be assed to be a good person" but even that blunt honesty about his own faults is kinda........... yamasan how jaded are you even

what happened to make you such a jaded person............
