Mitsuru Tenma - A Warm Day for Cleaning

[daze_0907]

Author: Kanata Haruka (彼方遥)

Season: Summer

Location: Seisoukan Apartments Exterior, Seaside Park


Mitsuru: Sora-chan, are your garbage bags all ready?

Sora: HaHa~ Of course! Let me put my gloves on and I'll be ready whenever~ ♪

Mitsuru: Oka~y, then let's work hard today too~!

Keito: Hm? Are you two going to pick up litter right now? You're working hard.

Mitsuru: Hasumi-senpai, hello! Yup, we're gonna do some trash pickup!

Keito: That's wonderful. I hear that the other day you also cleaned Seisoukan in that energetic way of yours. As the dorm supervisor, I'd like to formally express my gratitude.

Mitsuru: Ehehe, Hasumi-senpai praised us~ ♪

Sora: Sora is only doing it because Mitsu-chan invited him~. Cleaning can be fun if you keep it up!

Keito: They do say that autonomy is valuable. Harukawa, you’re also working hard with cleaning, so it's no different in my eyes.

Tenma's previous activities with "Sports Survivors" received high praise from the public. I'd like if activities continued in this vein.

I hope that some certain idols who lead a more undisciplined life can follow your examples.

In particular, Amagi-senpai and others like him often throw away trash without even separating it. Completely incorrigible......

Mitsuru: Umm, Hasumi-senpai, will this story get long? We'd like to go pick up trash soon.

Keito: Oops, I apologize. It's pointless to grumble about Amagi-senpai to you two.

I'd also like to help, but I have work to complete. Both of you, please be careful and work hard.

Mitsuru: Will do~! Hasumi-senpai, see you~

Sora: Then Mitsu-chan, where should we go today? Saison Avenue? Or the park?

Mitsuru: Hmm~. We picked up trash at both of those places recently for "Sports Survivors", so I think a different place'd be better.

Today the weather's warm and suuuper nice, so let's go to the seaside park!

I've never been there before, so there's probably tons of trash to pick up!

Sora: Got it! Then let's set out for the seaside park~ ♪



Mitsuru: We're he~re ☆ The scenery really is pretty. This is a nice place!

Sora: But look over there, Mitsu-chan! There's some trash to pick up too~

Mitsuru: You're right! Ehe, it's just like I thought. It'll be worth it to clean up here!

Sora-chan, let's keep picking up trash together~ ♪

Sora: HiHi~! Collect the trash with the trash bags~. Poipoi, popoi no poi ♪

Mitsuru: Ehehe, it feels good watching the view get tidier!

... Hm?

Sora: Mitsu-chan, did something happen?

Mitsuru: There's trash under that bench over there, but there's a person stepping on it.

I can't pick it up like this. Sorry, person! I wanna move your leg!

Ritsu: Zzz, zz...... Huh? I was sleeping so comfortably, can you not disturb me?

Sora: Ah, Ritsu-chan-senpai. Hello!

Ritsu: ......Hm~? I was wondering who it was, and it's Haru-kun and Mitsuru-kun. What are you two doing in a place like this?

Mitsuru: We came to pick up trash today. Ritsu-chan-senpai, you were stepping on some trash that I wanted to pick up, so I called out to you.

Ritsu: I was stepping on it? Ah, you're right. Sorry, I was so sleepy that I didn't even notice.

At any rate, why are you two gathering trash?

Mitsuru: Ritsu-chan-senpai, did you know? If you pick up trash, you can also pick up good luck! Hajime-chan told me all about it!

Sora: HuHu~, picking up trash is picking up good luck! It makes you happy, and it makes everyone else happy too. It's amazing magic~ ♪

Ritsu: Eeh, so you're basically volunteering. You're doing a really admirable thing, huh.

Well, this is an especially pretty place, so any trash should be easy to spot. Alright, I'll also praise you both ♪

Mitsuru: Wa~i! Ritsu-chan-senpai also praised us!

Ritsu-chan-senpai, were you taking a nap? It looked like you were sleeping pretty comfortably.

Ritsu: That's right~. I came here for a filming job, but I finished in the morning.

It's warm and comfortable today, an ideal day for a nap, so I decided to lay down here~.

Sora: HeHe~! Ritsu-chan-senpai, just like you said, it looks like it's a good nap day today~.

Mitsuru: Mhm mhm! If we work hard with trash pickup, it might be a good idea to have a nap as a reward!

Ritsu: I'm glad you two are getting pumped up. Well then, work hard with your trash pickup.

Mitsuru & Sora: Eh?

Ritsu: Eh?

Mitsuru & Sora: ...... (Staring intently at Ritsu)

Ritsu: What? Don't tell me you want to tell me to also help with cleanup?

Mitsuru: Taking a nap after working super hard feels reaaally nice, Ritsu-chan-senpai!

Ritsu: I already worked hard, so. Since I finished my photoshoot, now I'm taking a nap.

Sora: But Ritsu-chan-senpai, you also have trash on your butt~?

Ritsu: Eh? Huh, you're right. Like before, I was so sleepy I didn't even notice......

Sora: Sora thinks that it's better to pick up trash with us in order to have a better nap~

Ritsu: ...... That's true. It's pretty hard for me to call that nap a good rest~. I couldn't relax, even though I tried.

Sigh, it can't be helped. Seems like I'll just step on another piece of trash like this, so I'll help you pick up a bit.

Sora: HoHo~! Ritsu-chan-senpai became our partner! HaHiHuHeHo~...... ♪

Mitsuru: With the three of us, we should be able to make the park super suuuper neat and tidy! Thanks, Ritsu-chan-senpai!

Ritsu: Sure~. This is also just so I can take a great nap afterward.

Mitsuru: Mhm! After picking up trash, me and everyone can all take a nap together!

Let's pick up lots and looots of trash so we can take a nice nap!

Alri~ght, then let's keep going! Zoo~m ☆

 
Notes:

• as always, my japanese is not native-level and thus is prone to error! please understand that this is a fan translation unaffiliated with happy elements.
• keito's mention of "sports survivors" refers to mitsuru's 5-star scout "sports survivors". in this scout story, mitsuru first takes interest in picking up trash as a means of gathering good luck! you can find the full index for my translation of the scout story here.
• sora and mitsu both have an absolute arsenal of sound effects they use, so i kind of took some liberties with "translating" some and leaving others as romanized versions of the sound effect. they just be making noises
• this is my first time translating both keito and ritsu, so my apologies if their speech style seems off or ooc! i honestly haven't read many stories with specifically ritsu, so i'm definitely not super familiar with his personality or speech patterns. i've read a few with keito, but still want to make it clear it's my first time really Translating his dialogue.
• i'm also honestly not really familiar with which of mitsu's stories have been fan-translated already, so i'm kind of just taking things at my own pace! soon i'll try to tackle a chaptered story but for now i'm just trying to get into the groove of the style of enstars translation. i've only translated either taishō-era literature or livestream clips, so this is a very new endeavor for me LOL
