	Kyoji: I thought you weren't interested in idols either, though.
	Minori: No way! I love idols!
	Minori: Even if you think idols are a girl thing, Minori: There're plenty of guys in this world who love idols!
	Minori: Being something of a fashion leader, or getting praised for an acrobatic performance, Minori: That's just the beginning of the meaning of idol~

	Kyoji: (Minori-san!?) (Minori: This one is "please take care of me") *** (Pierre: So many difficult characters!)
	Fin.
Translator's Notes: Minori is using unusual kanji to write the words. He’s using the ateji reading of kanji which is using the phonetic on-readings of the characters without any of the characters' meanings attached. * 摩武駄致: マブダチ = Best friends. ** 愛羅武勇: アイラブユー = I love you. *** 夜露四苦: ヨロシク = Please take care of me/Yoroshiku. The title in Japanese is 刃恋多隠, using the ateji reading for “valentines”, too.
