Wanted to you taste-test with 〜てほしかった

三ツ星カラーズ » Volume 6 » Page 42

Momoko notices the trio Colors pestering a television cameraman. She intervenes to help him, telling the girls that she is heading to her family’s bakery to have taste-testing of her new type of rice ball.

ももか:
カラーズちゃんにも試食(ししょく)てほしかったんだけどなー」
"I wanted you all to do some taste-testing as well, but..."
「テレビがあるなら仕方(しかた)ないかぁ」
"If it's television, it can't be helped, huh?"
