Translation notes

[1] In Japanese net slang, an "offkai" (オフ会, lit. "off(line) meeting") is an in-person meetup of people who usually only know each other online, through things like forums or chat rooms.

Yori was waiting for Yuuki at their meeting place, so that they could participate in an offline meetup for game enthusiasts.

Yori
Sigh... He invited me to this thing, and I accepted without really thinking about it, but now I'm starting to get nervous...

Yori
Other than Akari, I don't even know my other guild members that well, so I don't know how well I'll do talking to complete strangers...

Yori
It's so pathetic. This is an offline meetup [1] for a game I love, but I'm worrying about things like this.

Yori
Today Yuuki is coming with me, so it should be fine, but it can't stay like this forever.

Yori
Man, I wish I could be like Akari, able to talk to anyone with her lighthearted demeanor, without having to worry about things like this...

Yori
And also, isn't Yuuki super late? If he doesn't show up, there's no way I'll be able to go to the meetup alone! Please, show up soon!

Yuuki
1. "Sorry for the wait."

Yori
Y-You're late! I thought you'd be more punctual than this.

Yori
(Th-thank goodness, he finally came...)

Yori
Anyway, because you're late, we don't have as much time left, so let's hurry up and go!

Yuuki
1. "By the way, who's that kid?"

Yori
Eh? That kid...

???
Hello!

Yori
UWAH! When did you.... Who are you!?

Yori
Hey, is there something you need? Are you a lost child?

???
Lost? No, no. I'm an angel! It's my job to guide everyone, you know? And I don't get more than a couple lost children per day. Heh heh!

Yori
It's becoming increasingly common... But that aside, angel? Did you say angel?

Yori
Sure, the wings and the bow are kind of angel-like... I guess, looking closely, I can see that you float a little bit too. But it seems a little clumsy.

Raphi
I-I'm not clumsy! I'm a brilliant angel who's came to make everyone ultra happy, named Raphi!

Raphi
Uh... What's your name?

Yori
M-My name? It's Yori...

Raphi
So, Yori, right now, you're super duper worried about something, aren't you?

Yori
(Eh, why does this girl know something like that? Could it be that they really are an angel...)

Raphi
I can see through whatever it is you're trying to hide. Because I heard everything that you said to yourself earlier!

Yori
(N-no way, she was listening!? This is beyond embarassing, having this strange girl getting involved. What's going on!?)

Raphi
Don't worry, Yori. I'm going to grant your wish right away. And then, you'll become ultra happy!

Yori
I-I'm kind of in a hurry. And like, shouldn't you be doing this for people who are more troubled than I am?

Raphi
... No, I want to do this for you. If I can make you happy, then surely...!

Yori
Eh, what do you mean when you say... W-Wait, why are you pointing your arrow this way? What you're saying and what you're doing don't match up at all!

Raphi
It's okay, it won't hurt, and nothing could possibly go wrong... probably. Ultra Happy Angelic Arrow!!

Yori
Kyaa!?

Yori
... Huh? I thought I was shot, but nothing happened...?

Raphi
Perfect! Yori, your wish has been granted!

Yuuki
1. "You look cute."

Yori
Huh? Don't suddenly say dumb things! Let's just hurry to the shop... Eh?

Yori
W-W-WHAT'S WITH THIS OUTFIT!?

Yori was astonished by her reflection in the window.
