Thanks for the translation and welcome to the new translator!
I'm honestly surprised by how antagonistic Shinomiya is behaving this chapter. I expected him to look down on Akuto and say he wouldn't succeed, but not that Akuto didn't deserve to be there or that his methods were "sickening". I wonder how he'll react if Akuto gets the role.
Also I'm glad to see there are still people interested in hallelujah overdrive.
