happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 9 "kneel down"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Coliseum

Vil: ( This would be my starting point, then. Before my very eyes lies the coliseum where they placed the magic harp… ) 

( It wouldn’t be wise to go in alone, let alone without any gear. ) 

( I’ve a much better chance of coming out on top in a group, especially if I find myself under fire from both sides at some point. ) 

( So my first priority ought to be rounding up a band of teammates. )

Farmers Team Student A: Oh, nice. Our starting point’s smack dab in front of the coliseum, man. 

Farmers Team Student B: For real. Like, we could just walk in straight away and take back the harp no sweat.

Farmers Team Student A: Hell yeah we could! All right. Let’s show ‘em the savannah sprint we practiced in morning training. 

Vil: I wouldn’t if I were you. You wouldn’t want to have to drop out right after we started. 

Farmers Team Student A: Aahn?

Vil: You’re on the Farmers Team, aren’t you?

If I were on the opposite side, I’d surely be scrambling to fortify the coliseum in defense of that magic harp.

After all, the rules of the game itself are set up to ensure that there’s a larger number of players on the Farmers Team.

That’s why it’s better to form a pack if you want to seize the initiative.

Farmers Team Student B: Uh huh. So, basically, you wanna stick with us so we’ll protect you, huh? 

Farmers Team Student A: Oh, yeah. Pomefiore’s just fulla sissy-looking wimps.

Vil: ……

Farmers Team Student B: Dorm Leader, Schorm Leader—even this guy’d take a beating once surrounded.

Farmers Team Student A: How about you pick a hiding spot and stay there for good, Queenie? 

Vil: Honestly… Your owner is such a worthless man. 

Can’t he even punish you properly to stop that unwanted barking?

Farmers Team Students: Huh?

Vil: It’s time to drill a Pomefiore-style “lay down” into you ill-mannered pooches.

Come, kneel down in the presence of your Queen.
