p.6
[Title] Episode 7. The Beginning of the Storm
[1] Uh... / Before we begin, / I have important news for you all
[2] Come in.
[5] This is Min Sia / a new transfer student who will be attending this school as of today / Min Sia-yang*

p.7
[1] Due to family circumstances, Sia-yang has been living overseas until now / She's probably not familiar with life here yet, so please help her along as much as you can~
[2] Nice to meet you, I'm Min Sia / I look forward to studying with you all.
[3] Whoa!! / Leave it to me~! / Queen cards* are always welcomed~!
* T/N: Queen card is an idiom meaning 'attractive girl'
[4] In the regular fighting game "Metal Heart," the scenario is that female fighters from around the world gather in one place to fight each other... / The dating sim version can't have anything to do with that scenario, right?

p.8
[1] The foreign transfer student scenario... / It's not that I'm unfamiliar with scenarios like this, but...
[2] these are the kind I fail the most!!
[3] Calm down, now... Calm down. / Uh... First, the topic of conversation after our meeting should be about 'Blackie'...

p.9
[3] boom* / Th... / The seat next to me?!
[4] Is this Nuri's doing? Is this part of the game scenario too? / thump thump thump thump thump*

p.10
[2] smash
[3] This is the chance of a lifetime!! / During break, I'll be the first one to greet her and...
[4] ding dong / ding dong*
* school bells
[5] After I went to the trouble of putting her in the seat next to you...
[6] What are you doing? / When did you come to Korea? / Where were you abroad? / But you speak Korean really well!

p.11
[1] Guys, that's my seat... / Shut up!! / Minwoo, you're forbidden to approach the transfer student!
[2] We can't have her being stained by you, after all, you persecuter! / Quarantine* / We have a responsibility to protect the transfer student from the Hyun Minwoo Virus!
[3] Oh~? / By persecuter, do you mean me?
[4] Ohh~ Inhyuk, you're forbidden to approach her for a different reason / Inhyuk, you have us, don't you <3 Don't encourage competition~ / Ahh~ I want to be Inhyuk-colored...*
* T/N: To dye and to stain can be expressed by the same phrase
[5] Uh... What's- / Ah, nothing to worry about. That guy Minwoo is just an ota-

p.12
[1] thwip*
[2] You could say he's a superior guy who always types perfectly, without a single typo* <3 / Ahaha*
* T/N: 'ota' is 'typo' in Korean
[3] I'm Nuri. Han Nuri. / You're not familiar with the school yet, right? Want me to show you around?
[4] Please do.
[5] Was there a student like that? / Phew / Hmm... / Nice timing, Nuri!
[6] Caught ya! / startled*

p.13
[1] I... Inhyuk?! / Hmm... That's it after all... / I thought it was suspicious to begin with...!
[2] You're in love with that girl, aren't you...
[3] I remember it clearly. / That girl's the one you disappeared with at the cosplay festival, right? / There's no way I could forget a pretty girl like that...
[4] Earlier, that girl's expression changed after she saw you. / Now... Why don't we see what's going on between those two girls?
[5] This is bad! And Nuri's not here, either... / Listen carefully. You have to keep this a secret. / The more people know, the bigger the incident gets. Understand?

p.14
[1] Well, that's basically it for the gym, changing rooms, and the pool. / Well? Is there anything else you're curious about?
[2] That's enough, I think I have a basic understanding. / Thanks a lot. / Come on, don't be shy.
[3] Ah! / Come to think of it, there is something...
[4] Earlier, they said that guy was a virus... / Is he ill or something? / This is it!
[5] I can't bribe the whole class... / I doubt there's a way I can make it look like Minwoo's otaku nature is a good thing... What should I do?

p.15
[1] It's not a big deal. / I guess you could say he has slightly different hobbies than the others / Dammit! Why do I have to cover for that bastard?
[2] Those hobbies, / do they harm others?
[4] Well, it's not as though he likes throwing around his fists, / or interfering with class, / or taking money or bullying...
[5] Let's Understand Otakus / Come to think of it, in that book-!

p.16
[1] To use a simple metaphor / that kid is like a drop of oil on top of a bowl of water / Eh?
[2] It looks like the water, but it creates a barrier / Rather than mixing, it just sits on the outside. However...
[3] So it's not as though it's a drop of poison making the water undrinkable, right? / Huh?
[4] R... right. So there's no need to keep your distance or anything / You're a nice person, huh, Nuri

p.17
[1] You made the effort so I wouldn't form a nasty prejudice, right? / But it's okay...
[2] Since the kindhearted, sweet Nuri likes him / there's no way he could be a bad person.
[3] Ehh?!

p.18
[1] Hmm. / A lucky cat... That day, did something that great really happen?
[2] I explained, taking out all the 'game' elements, but... / I'm really sad- To think that you wouldn't tell me about something as important as this... / Please, don't dig any deeper.
[3] Okay! I, your hyung*, will push you forward, so / try to get yourself a real girlfriend this time! / Wait a minute! Don't go getting ahead of yourself
* T/N: 'Hyung' is what males call their older brothers, similar connotations to 'Onii-san'
[4] But come on~ It's a pretty girl who looks like a game character... This is a really rare opportunity for you! / I'm telling you, trust your hyung. / Plus, I'm sure you already made a good impression. If you let this opportunity pass, you'll really regret it!
[5] No, but... / The circumstances here are deeper than the ocean... / Hm?
[6] Chatter

p.19
[1] What's going on? / Ah, Inhyuk! / Um... Just a minute ago...
[2] the judo club members were here with grim expressions on asking about that transfer student / zing* / Could she have gotten into some incident so soon after she got here? She looks so demure, too...
[3] The transfer student?
[4] Yes, she's a junior* named Min Sia / Coincidentally, she's in the same class as Bae Inhyuk / Here. Now.
* T/N: 2nd year in a 3-year highschool system
[5] Who, Bae Inhyuk? / No, you idiots, the transfer student!!

p.20
[1] I can't believe a slender girl like her pinned me. / That girl is definitely...
[2] An expert! A powerful one at that!! / Oh! / So that's what it was-!! / There's no mistaking it, that was the "Thousand Pound" technique or whatever it's called!!
[3] She might be even more powerful than Bae Inhyuk! / And above all-!
[4] Our dream! A girl in the judo club! The first member of the womens' team is born! / Ohhhh~* / We'll follow you, captain!!
[5] Shudder*

p.21
[1] clack*
[2] Should we go to the cafeteria? / commotion* / Push that desk up against mine / Let's eat together!
[3] Do you understand, Minwoo? Use lunchtime during her first day to improve the feelings between you! / "Reuniting at the same school and eating lunch together will bring you closer!" ...got it? / Y... yeah.
[4] A huge misunderstanding* has arisen due to my error. / If I don't fix it...
* T/N: The misconception that Nuri is interested in Minwoo
[5] Min Sia is leaving. / Does she feel awkward since it's her first day?
[6] Don't worry about it. The tracking device in your glasses won't lose her, regardless of where she goes. It'd look strange if you chased her immediately, so... wait. / Okay, get ready... 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

p.22
[1] ...0- After her! / step*
[2] She's moving towards the center of the building! / Where's she going?! The cafeteria? The roof? The gym?
[4] slip*
[5] Ah-?! / Ahhhh~!!
[6] Eh?

p.23
[1] Ugyaaaaa~!! / tumble*
[2] Ouch...~
[3] Ah, sorry! I stumbled again- / Eek! You're bleeding! Are you okay?! / This nosebleed isn't from being injured... ;; / Ah, I'm okay... Are you okay, sunsengnim*?
* T/N: Sunsengnim <-> Sensei <-> Teacher
[4] I'm fine, so why don't you hurry to the infirmary and-!
[5] Ah. / Ahhh! My glasses!! But more than that, the tracking device-!

p.24
[1] You broke it?! Idiot! What have you done?!
[2] G Men! Contact the trailer and determine Min Sia's location!! / Yes!!
[3] static*
[4] pop pop pop*
[5] Jamming?! / I don't know, sir! Powerful interference has knocked the company's system that contains everything about Min Sia offline!!
[6] Is it because if that program from before-?!!

p.25
[1] vibrating*
[2] The choice is up to you / Hyun Minwoo
[3] At the first decision point...* / What will that kid do?
* T/N: This refers to the branch points in dating sims that determine the plot
[4] What do we do? / If we dawdle, he'll lose the chance to eat with her!
[5] I have to decide! / The gym? The cafeteria? The roof? Or someplace else...? / Where is Min Sia?!
