happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 23 "no longer a child"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Woods Behind Campus

Rustle rustle…

Epel: The smell of grilled meat keeps getting stronger the closer we get…

Growwwl.

Epel: Uuu. It’s making me drool.

Vil: Pull yourself together, Epel. There’s no telling when we’ll come across the other team.

Riddle: That’s right. It’s very likely that they’re already privy to where Cater and the others are supposedly headed.

Vil: Exactly. So we should make a detour and head there from the other—

Floyd: !!

Shh! Be quiet.

Everyone: !! 

Voomvoomvoom!

Lilia: What’s the matter?! Aim true!

You couldn’t hit a fly with those beans let alone myself, not even in your wildest dreams!

Malleus: The feeling is mutual, Lilia. All you’ve been doing is running back and forth. I should like to know how you’ll catch me from so far away.

Come closer. Or could it be that you’re afraid?

Lilia: Kufufu. Beautifully put. Well, then. It’s time I take this a little more seriously!

Malleus: Heh… I’m no longer a child, so there’s no need to hold back, Lilia!

Bambambam!

Epel: It’s... Malleus-san and Lilia-san!

Vil: Who would’ve thought we’d run into the Diasomnia’s dorm leader and his vice in the midst of a duel?

Riddle: F-Fascinating. I tried my best to follow them, but their movements are simply too fast!

Epel: We can surprise Lilia-san from behind in this position. Let’s back up Malleus-san!

Floyd: Don’t even bother, Guppy-chan. 

Epel: Why, Floyd-san? This is our chance!

Floyd: Sea Slug-senpai and Flapjack Octopus-chan are distracted and haven’t noticed us yet, but… 

When they do, Flapjack Octopus-chan’ll shoot us down in an instant.

Epel: Seriously?!

Floyd: What? Is it that much of a shock? Rule of thumb says to take out the weakest guys in a group first.

Epel: You mean we’re... the weakest…? But we’ve got way more equipment and outman Lilia-san!

Vil: Lilia may look dainty, but his PE grades rank among the top in our class.

He’s a stalwart athlete who always survives ‘til the very end during Happy Beans Day.

Riddle: Silver and Sebek often remark to me how ‘Lilia-senpai is our martial arts instructor.’

I thought at first they were simply showing respect for their elder, but…

Bambambam!

Lilia: What’s wrong, Malleus? I weep for your future as the heir of the Draconia family if all you are able to do is retreat.

Malleus: Someone your age shouldn’t be gamboling about, Lilia. You’re breathing heavily. Why not rest a bit?!

Slamslamslam!

Riddle: After witnessing Lilia-senpai on the battlefield, I now realize that those two weren’t exaggerating.

Floyd: Basically. He’s a match for Sea Slug-senpai and like, even more nimble to boot.

Vil: Lilia’s true strength is unknown to even me. We’ll be in a world of hurt if we lay a hand on him without thinking.

Floyd: Time to move on while Sea Slug-senpai’s handling things.

Riddle: …How unexpected. I was sure you’d jump into the middle of their battle for your own amusement.

Vil: Are you finally ready for work for that victory?

Floyd: Mmh, nah. Not really.

I just don’t wanna get in the way and ruin their fun any. 

Malleus & Lilia: Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!

Epel: Urgh… T-They’re laughing while fighting each other.

Vil: Let’s slip past while they’re preoccupied and head straight for the gardens.
