Izumi: Are you stupid?!
Are you stupid are you stupid are you stupid?! What the hell were you thinking, getting into a fight?
One wrong move, and you would've gotten straight-up expelled, let alone suspended! We don't go to a normal school, remember?
Get it into your head already that you're an idol, like I'm always telling you!
Even if you're dealing with someone you don't like, you're supposed to take a deep breath and think of a solution! Not jump into a brawl! This is basic stuff, you know?
Image is everything! Trust is tantamount! Take a swing at someone and you can kiss your idol life goodbye!
I heard Hasumi managed to smooth talk your way out of punishment, but that won't happen twice, you hear? Think about what you've done!
Leo: Put a sock in it, already! Who are you, my mom?!
Izumi: Are you kidding me? Your mom's the one who didn't raise you right, and now I've gotta deal with the consequences!
Were you raised in a barn?! Rrrgh, this is pissing me off!
Leo: Waugh! Stop pinching my cheek! Sena, you bully!
And don't you dare talk about my mom like that! Pick on me all you want, but anybody who talks shit about my family can go die in a ditch!
Izumi: You're the one I'm insulting, though, not your family.
If you really care about them, then shape up a little! Don't act in a way that could give people an excuse to talk smack about you behind your back!
Leo: Argh!!! Mrngh!! Shut up! I said I'm tired of your nagging! Sena, you stupid jerk! I mean, you're smart, but you're also stupid, okay! Nyeh, nyeh, you dumb old buttface! Poopyhead!
Izumi: What are you, a grade schooler?! You have zero eloquence, I swear. Can't believe that despite your half-rate vocabulary you somehow work as a professional songwriter known for both music and lyrics...
I'm actually kind of impressed.
Leo: Heh, just chalk it up to my natural talent! I'm a genius, after all! Though I'm not all that confident with lyrics so I ask Ruta-tan for help with 'em!
She's a genius too~! Wahaha ♪
Izumi: Buy a genius, get one free, huh? Guess that's not that rare in this industry... Wait, who was "Ruka-tan" again? I hear you say that name sometimes.
Leo: Oh, I didn't tell you? She's my little sister! You met her, right?
Izumi: Ah... Was she that girl who was silently peeking at me from a crack in the door that one time I went to your house?
She ran as soon as I said hi to her, so I don't really know what she looks like.
Leo: Yeah, she's pretty shy... Shame, 'cause she's so cute! Oh, I got a photo of her, wanna see? Actually, you gotta see!
C'mere and look! My phone's photo folder is chock full of Ruka-tan pics anytime, anywhere...☆
...Wait, huh? Where is my phone?!
Izumi: Ugh, I bet you went and lost it somewhere again.
Are you actually stupid, for real?! That thing's a gold mine of your personal info, and you're just throwing it around? Unbelievable!
Well, I did convince you to let me set a password on it... Even if some crook picked it up, that should hold them off to an extent.
You should call your phone service and deactivate your device, though.
Leo: Deact-a-what? I dunno how to do that! You do it for me, Sena~♪
Izumi: ...What, treating me like I'm your servant now?
Leo: What's the issue? You love taking care of people, right? Plus, you can do anything a hundred times better than me!
It's all good when it's in your hands, Sena! Wahaha ☆
Izumi: It's a total pain in the ass, if I'm gonna be honest.
Leo: C'mon, don't say that! I'm counting on you— No wait, I owe you big time, actually!
Without you around, Sena, I probably would've gotten sick of all this idol stuff and quit ages ago!
Izumi: Already? What are you, five? You've got plenty of talent, so you should stick with it.
Find a way to deal with the hard stuff, clench your teeth, keep fighting... and grow up.
Leo: Noooooo! I don't wanna grow up! I don't wannaaaa!
Izumi: You can't just yell stuff like that in public in broad daylight!
Tsumugi: ...Oh? I thought I heard a commotion out here! Hello there ♪
Leo: Huh? Who're you?!
Izumi: Oh right, you don't know each other... This is Aoba, from my class.
What are you doing at the hospital? Oh, wait—our homeroom teacher asked you to drop by and see our distinguished noble heir, right?
Tsumugi: That's right~ I was visiting Eichi-kun. I was a little nervous at first, but he turned out to be friendly and easy to talk to~♪
If you have time, Sena-kun, you should pay him a visit too. I kind of got the sense Eichi-kun's feeling a little lonely.
But in any case, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?
I hope you get well soon! Want a good luck charm for your health? I have a bunch~♪
My mom buys them whenever she sees one, so her closet's practically bursting with them. [1]
Here, I'll put this cute little guy on your bag for you...♪
Izumi: Why would I want that? And don't touch my bag without asking. I don't need any good luck charms; I'm not a fan of leaving things up to the gods.
Besides, I'm only here to accompany him.
This dumbass broke his arm a few days ago, apparently. I dunno how it happened since I wasn't there, but I heard he got into a fight or something?
And obviously you should go to the hospital if you have a broken arm, but he keeps running around throwing a fuss about not going...
So I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and dragged him over, and now we're here.
Leo: But I hate hospitals! They're boring and smell like medicine! Plus there are these guys who keep trying to stab me with needles and put meds in me!
Izumi: You mean doctors...? Ugh, it really feels like I have a child.

[1] My proofer and I had an in-depth debate about whether there was a better word for 押し入れ (oshi'ire), which is essentially a closet you use as storage space, usually (but not always?) behind a sliding door like this. If you're a huge TsumugiP and you really needed to know that Tsumugi's mom kept her shrine charms specifically inside a (VERY common) Japanese-style sliding door closet, well, this TL note is for you. ↑
