An Entrance Ceremony on the Bed 4 Translation: Dreaming Translations
Chapter 4
Touji Harimiya	–– Well, it can’t be helped. If you’re not a servant, I suppose it’s a lost cause. Allow me to formally ask your names.
Senri Nito	I’m Senri Niito. I work as a stage actor~
Yuma Mochizuki	I’m… Yuma Mochizuki. I… don’t really do anything special.
Senri Nito	Oh, there you go again~ Yumapi, you’re so humble!
Yuma Mochizuki	Yumapi…?
Senri Nito	For me, calling people by a nickname is a sign of affection. So call me whatever you want too, okay?
Yuma Mochizuki	… Okay. I’ll call you Nito.
Senri Nito	Hellooo? Sign of affection!? Nickname, please!
Touji Harimiya	More importantly, it’s unthinkable for an incompetent person to be admitted into Shinonome’s Elite Class. Mochizuki-kun, should you not fulfill your due obligation to make a proper self-introduction?
Senri Nito	Saying it like that… but I mean, I guess he’s not wrong…
Yuma Mochizuki	… What do you mean?
Senri Nito	Yumapi, don’t you have something that sets you apart from other people? Like a special skill, or awards you’ve received…

Yuma Mochizuki	Ah… in that case, I ghostwrite^[1] a manga. It’s my job.
Senri Nito	Eeeh, that’s so cool!
Touji Harimiya	Writing for someone else. In other words, a job that requires you to work behind the scenes… It must be so difficult for those who can’t make it in the world…
Senri Nito	Hey, no offense, but how can you say such rude stuff so casually?
Yuma Mochizuki	It’s not that bad, writing for someone else. Actually… it’s pretty profitable.
Senri Nito	Eh… wait, you’re that kind of character?
	[DING DONG]
Senri Nito	Ah, the chime is ringing! The entrance ceremony’s starting!
Touji Harimiya	To be late on the very first day, such an unthinkable act for the eldest son of the Harimiya family…!
Senri Nito	Quit with the high and mighty talk and start running! Yumapi, you too!
	Chasing after the two of them as they dashed off–– I finally took one big step toward my new school life.
Scene Change: Auditorium

	We opened the doors to the entrance ceremony hall, and there an unexpected scene spread out before our eyes.
Yuma Mochizuki	These are…
Touji Harimiya	Beds, no?
Senri Nito	Why beds? Are we supposed to do this entrance ceremony in our sleep?
	At Nito’s question, the unpleasant person from before, sitting on one of the beds, turned around.

????	……
Senri Nito	So you really were a new student in the Elite Class!
????	…Shut up.
Senri Nito	Wooow, scaaary.
????	……

????	Oh, you’re here.
	Everyone turned their gazes toward the figure that suddenly appeared from deeper inside the room.
Yuma Mochizuki	(Could that be… a teacher?)
Yosuke Kiritani	I’m Yosuke Kiritani. For this next year I’ll be babysitting you all.
Senri Nito	Babysitting…
Touji Harimiya	I’ve never been spoken to in such a way, even in my childhood. Frankly it’s quite refreshing.
Yosuke Kiritani	Errr– for the four new members of the Elite Class this year, I’ll now conduct the special entrance ceremony. First I’ll take attendance. ––Senri Shinusagi.
Senri Nito	Eh… um, it’s not “Shinusagi”, it’s “Nito”, sir.
Yosuke Kiritani	… Next. Fujiji Harimiya.^[2]
Senri Nito	Ignored… But “Fujiji” is hilarious. I believe I shall bestow upon Harimiya the nickname “Fuji-jii”.^[3]
Touji Harimiya	I don’t recall having a grandchild like you. Anyhow, sensei, my name is Touji Harimiya.
Yosuke Kiritani	… What a pain in the ass. The remaining two, say your name on your own.
Senri Nito	There are really only two people left?
Touji Harimiya	An instructor really must not be so negligent…
Yosuke Kiritani	Names. Now. Starting with the scowling kid.

Takaomi Shishimaru	… Tch. Takaomi Shishimaru.
Yosuke Kiritani	And the unfashionable one?
Yuma Mochizuki	My name is Yuma Mochizuki.
Yosuke Kiritani	Alright, looks like everyone’s here. Hurry up and lie down on the beds.
Senri Nito	Umm. Before that, can I ask why there are beds here?
Yosuke Kiritani	If you wanna know the answer, shut up and do as you’re told. If you don’t want to do it, go ahead and withdraw your admission.
Touji Harimiya	… For now, I suppose it’s no more than a simple action…
Takaomi Shishimaru	Tch. I don’t get this.
Senri Nito	Somehow, I’m kinda getting excited.
Yuma Mochizuki	(Something like an entrance ceremony while sleeping in bed… as expected, Tokyo’s way of thinking sure is unconventional.)

↑ Yuma’s official job title is manga daihitsu, which I believe can refer to someone who draws/writes a manga on the official author’s behalf, or ghostwriting. I’ll refer to it as ghostwriting from now on :D ↑ Yosuke Kiritani is reading the kanji for Senri and Touji’s names wrong. ↑ Senri takes the misreading of Touji’s name (”Fujiji”) and turns it into “Fuji-jii”, something like “Grandpa Fuji”, hence Touji’s next line.
