happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 6 "the usual"

 

 

Location: Ignihyde Dorm - Idia’s Room


Click click…


Idia: It’s finally… finally finished!


I mitigated any reduced power in sustained firing by including a compact module that emits energy through environmental vibrations.


It automatically coats beans with an air resistant potion when loading, and can fire up to distances of 1800 meters away.


I call it…


The “Anti-Monster Team Large-Caliber Magic Bean Cannon: Skypiercer”!!! 


Absolutely flawless… I’m a bonafide genius.


... Phew.


... uh, actually, maybe I went too far.


The name’s clearly a work-in-progress, duh. Dfhuhuh.


Better rename it to something more straightforward though, like “Beanshooter L”. Done.


One modified capture arm, two capture rods, two Beanshooter S, two Beanshooter M, and one Beanshooter L… 


Yeah. These should be more than enough.


Clack clack…


Too many weapons and the game’ll suffer a strategic collapse in balance… fheehee! Now, to deliver the goods.


Ortho: Where’re you going this late at night, Nii-san? 


Idia: Uhm, just, to the campus store.


Ortho: Oh, to do the "usual" again? I’ll help carry all your stuff!


Idia: Thanks. Ah, and quietly, too, to avoid being detected.


Ortho: Got it. It’s like a sneaking mission.


Location: Beside Mister S’s Mystery Shop


Creak…


Location: Mister S’s Mystery Shop


Ortho: Good evening, Sam-san.


Sam: Hey there, my little blue imps. Not to be a buzzkill, but it’s past closing time.  


Idia: Wh… “What I want’s out of stock.”


Sam: —!! “All out? Not a chance, no way—”


Idia: “I can’t find one out on display—” 


Idia & Sam: “So go wild tomorrow on Happy Beans Day.”


Sam: OK! You’ve got the password down pat. It’s been a year since our last little arrangement, “Mr. Smith”. 


Idia: H-Hey. I was dying to do our exchange again this year, so, uhm, I built a whole variety.


Sam: Give it up for Mr. Smith! Let’s get down to business, then. 


Ortho: There’s nothing in the rules that states you can’t construct your own equipment, but… 


Are we sure this is okay?


Idia: Getting to be a bystander somewhere safe, while the ‘athletes’ run around dripping with sweat… Raising the difficulty level as I please...


This rush! It’s literally out of this world!


Ortho: … Well, nevermind. All that matters is Nii-san’s taking a proactive approach to this event! 


I wonder how tomorrow’s match will go? I’m so excited.
