happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 26 "one of us trained harder"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Botanical Garden - Temperate Zone

Ka-cha!

Kalim: Whoa!

Jamil: I’ve got you now, Kalim!

Farmers’ Team - Kalim - Eliminated

Kalim: Aww, man. I even had faith in my speed, too! You’re pretty fast, Jamil.

Jamil: One of us trained harder than the other is all.

… Cater-senpai and Jade still managed to slip through my fingers. I’d better pull back now while I still can.

Monster Team Student A: We caught a whole bunch of them!

Monster Team Student B: It was a piece of cake. Most were eating kebabs and weren’t paying attention at all.

Kalim: Oh, right! My allies wouldn’t be the only ones lured in by that delicious smell, huh.

I screwed up bad…

Jamil: Kukuku… It’s a crying shame, Kalim.

Enjoy spending the rest of the tournament in the gymnasium with the rest of the dropouts and Vargas-sensei’s weight training menu.

Kalim: I know, I know. I’ll follow the rules… but could you do me one last favor?

Jamil: Well? Just to let you know, I’ll refuse any demands to be let go, even if they’re from you.

Kalim: I won’t ask for that. Just…

Is it okay if we eat all the shawarma?! 

It’d be a total waste if we didn’t finish after you went out of your way to prep it all.

Aren’t you guys starving? It’s really good!

Monster Team Student A: Huh? So it’s cool to feed the enemy team?

Monster Team Student B: Nice. I was starting to get hungry over here.

Monster Team Student C: I’m down to have some if Viper made it. That means it’s bound to be tasty.

Jamil: Come on. We don’t have time for this. What if the Farmers’ Team comes back and surrounds us?

Kalim: No worries! We’ll wrap this up in no time with your help. So, please? 

Jamil: Nnghh… 

( Kalim dropped out and isn’t on the enemy team any longer... )

( But a servant disobeying a command from their master is unacceptable…! )

( To think my specially made shawarma would work against me! )

To hell with it. Give me the meat shears and those skewers! I’ll be through in five minutes!

Kalim: Hooray! Thanks a bunch, Jamil!

Sizzle!

Rook: Oh là là. I didn’t expect to find Scarabia’s two top candidates while trailing the rich aroma of those spices!

Kalim: Rook! And Trey’s with you. Did you guys come here for some shawarma?

Grab a seat over there and Jamil will have some ready in a jiff!

Trey: Jamil’s stuffing pita bread with veggies and cutting meat at an amazing speed…

And the members of the Farmers’ Team they captured are eating kebabs with them.

… What exactly’s going on here?

Jamil: Kalim’s demanding that we don’t waste any of this lunch despite being caught.

So I’m in the middle of begrudgingly cooking it all since I’m the fastest one here.

Kgh… and I wanted to take off from here straightaway!

Rook: Oh? Most of the enemy in this vicinity appear to be your captives, are they not?

Jamil: They are. I planned to catch them in one fell swoop, but…

Cater-senpai, Jade, and Yuu managed to escape.

Trey & Rook: !!

Jamil: This is the worst possible time to be grilling meat. They might come back with reinforcements!

Sizzle~~~!!

Trey: And yet you’re still dressing the kebabs with all sorts of pickles and watching the meat closely.

Jamil: Serving second-rate cuisine would bring shame to the Asim family name.

Rook: I expected nothing less from Jamil-kun and his professionalism in never taking shortcuts. Beauté!

While I’m none too keen on eating pungent food, I’ll gratefully accept in your honor.

Kalim: Do you guys want sweet or unsweetened tea?

Jamil: Enough of that, Kalim! Everybody just get eating!

Rustle rustle.

???: Ohh. I followed the deliciously enticing scent, and lo and behold… there’s an amusing group gathered here today.

Rook: —! That voice… it’s—
