happy beans day ~the harpless brawl~ episode 31 "according to plan"

[mandytl]

 

Location: Botanical Garden

Vil: We’ve cleared the way! Retreat!

Tap tap tap.

Riddle: Gasp … gasp… I-I need to… catch my breath…!

Lilia: One’s fallen behind. Fence him in!

Riddle: Ghh!

Silver: Riddle’s surrounded! We should go back and save him!

Floyd: We’d be better off beating it and getting our act together while Goldfish-chan’s distracting them. Forget him!

Silver: But still--!

Vil: I’m afraid we’ve got no choice, so we’re moving on without him!

Epel: Damn it…!

Tap tap tap…!

Lilia: Now, then. We’ll split into two groups, according to plan.

Rook, Trey. I’ll leave apprehending Riddle to you two.

Trey: Got it.

Lilia: Come along, Jamil.

Jamil: Right.

Tap tap tap…

Trey: Sorry, Riddle, but this is the end of the line!

Riddle: Gasp … gasp… I’m out of beans. This is it for me…!

Farmers’ Team - Riddle - Eliminated

Riddle: Fu, fufu… Cater was ultimately right.

Trey: Hm?

Riddle: “Be especially careful around the ones who try to look approachable.”

I was well aware of the risks and still managed to get captured.

Trey: I didn’t really do anything special. All I did was nab you in the end.

The others were the amazing ones.

Rook: That’s where you’re wrong. Your run was exceptionally powerful, Rose Chevalier!

Riddle: … Aren’t you both in the Science Club? It’s a little, disgraceful… to say the least, that a sports club member like myself was powerless against you.

I'll have to reflect on this in the gymnasium whilst striving to keep up with Vargas-sensei’s weight training. Good day.

Rook: … Hm? But wouldn’t it be faster to go back the way you came and pass through the Hall of Mirrors?

Why’re you taking such a roundabout route around the campus, Roi des Roses?

Riddle: By the decree of the Queen of Hearts, Article 412: “One shant go back the way they came after witnessing shifting glasses in the forest.”

You could call the botanical gardens with its overgrown trees a forest, and Trey is sporting glasses.

Even I can’t chance violating one of our laws. Take care.

Tap tap…

Rook: “By the Queen’s decree”… How fascinating! How mystifying! 

Trey: Uh, yeah. We sure have a lot of rules where I can’t tell if they really mean anything or not…
