happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 13 "so boring"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Woods Behind Campus

Floyd: Looks like I can nap up in this tree and dodge getting involved with all these annoying small fry.

Up we go…

Rustle rustle.

Floyd: Tch… But man, the Octavinelle third years I ran into on the way here…

They were so irritating, with their, “You’re our underclassman, so lend us a hand” crap.

What do I gotta help a bunch of weaklings for free for? Piss off.

“We’ll give you a beanshooter”, but like, who cares?

It ended with them glaring at me… 

“Actually, just take it, and don’t forget what we talked about.”' Then they forced it on me and ran for it.

Pew, pew.

Floyd: What a dumb sound, like it’s a kid’s toy.

( Jade’s looked so happy ever since yesterday about getting to play tag with Azul… )

( I wonder where he is right now. )

( Azul’s been prepping for this thing for ages just to raise his PE grade. )

( Pretty sure he said something like, “There’s a chance we might become enemies, so I won’t reveal my tactics” when I asked about his plans. )

( I mean… )

( If Jade and I teamed up with no magic in play, strangling pretty much everybody would be a walk in the park, anyway. )

… Playing a game where you already know the ending’s so boring.

Tap tap tap… !

Floyd: ( Ah. It’s Crab-chan and Crocodile-chan. )

Ace: Leeet’s see… the map says there’s a bunch of Farmers’ Team supply crates in the forest around Ramshackle.

Sebek: Hm? Why’re we, members of the Monster Team, heading for an enemy point?

Ace: Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’ve gotta use your noggin and not just those legs, Sebek-kun.

Those crates are basically the bait we’re using to attract our prey. In other words…

Sebek: We’re to spearhead an ambush maneuver there. 

Ace: Now you’ve got it. The place should be crawling with Farmers’ Team members in need of equipment right now.

Sebek: Then we’d best make haste. Come on!!!!

Ace: Shhh. You’re being too loud.

The point of this strategy is that it’s a surprise, so could you, like, be a little sneakier? 

Tap tap tap…!

Floyd: ( An ambush, huh… Not a bad idea, but with the Farmers’ Team being so strong in numbers, the chance of being surrounded’s way too risky. )

( Crab-chan’s got a sharp wit, but he neeever follows through, even during practice. ) 

Tap tap tap…!

Floyd: ( Oh. Here comes someone else. )

( It’s Sea Otter-chan. He’s carrying this huge freakin’ backpack. )

Kalim: Phew… Man, the lunch box Jamil gave me sure is heavy.

Floyd: ( It stinks of meat and spices. … It isn’t just stuffed with food, right? )

Kalim: The best place to eat with a group in this beautiful weather’s gotta be the school grounds… —wait. I wouldn’t want to pass up the courtyard.

Oh, but maybe the botanical garden’s the best spot for a relaxing meal?

Besides, it’s always warm there. You can probably get a taste of what it feels like in the Land of Scorching Sands.

Okay! We’re having lunch in the gardens!

Tap tap tap…

Floyd: ( Did he like, completely forget about retrieving the harp, or what? Not that I can talk. )

Tap tap tap...

Jamil: … I’ve got a little time until lunch. Better expand the pawns available to me in the meantime.

Floyd: Ah. It’s Sea Snake-kun.

Jamil: !!! Floyd… —above me?!
