40.5 translation- Higa, Shiranui and Aragaki's bios (p.204)
As I don't think their bios have been translated, a translation of Shiranui and Aragaki's full bios (which are quite small in themselves. ; ) from 40.5 (p.204).
Corrections appreciated, as usual.

[He gets pleasure from what he accumulates every day!]
Shiranui gets a great feeling of satisfaction from the act of steadily accumulating things. Until the day he breaks his savings box he’ll keep piling up small change!

[[Divination by his birth flower]]
[Shephard's purse [2] / holly olive]]
[2]: 'Nazuna' is shephard's purse, but the flower listed is 'awanazuna'. I'm not sure if it's right.
In the language of flowers, they respectively mean, ‘victory, zeal, enthusiasm’, and ‘foresight, caution’. If it’s for victory, he won’t spare any effort. But because he has a tendency to look ahead too much, he can be too careful and pass up chances. In love as well, the times he will be touched by another person whilst looking for someone will be many. [3]
[3]: This sentence confused me a bit. orz
