CLAN - Episode 5
[Inside the Chaos World....]
Rui: ...Let’s split and look for Messiah.
Shizuru: Wait wait wait!
Rui: What?
Shizuru: Hey, Rui, what’s with that outfit?
Rui: Huh? What the hell is this?!
Hey, you guys too..
Shizuru: Whoa! What's with these gloves and weapon?
Q: Hahaha! You guys look like you're straight out of an FPS with that costume! Looks like we’ve stumbled into a game world!
Shizuru: My costume looks kinda weak compared to yours, eh?
Q: Even changing our outfits? This Chaos World is pretty elaborate.
Rui: ...So this is the new Chaos World they were talking about at the summit...!
Shizuru: Come to think of it, didn't you mention something about our outfits changing once we step inside, Rui?
Q: Plus, doesn't this whole place look just like a map in Mission Stadium?
Rui: … Yeah. It's most likely that Messiah was fascinated by the new Chaostone and created this Chaos World.
???: HAHAH! That’s right Baby!
Shizuru, Rui, Q: ?!
Rui: .…Who are you? Where are you talking to us from?
???: It’s me, it’s me! Look, down here!
Q: Rui, isn't that it? Hanging on your waist...
Rui: …An assault rifle?
Assaulton: Yeah~, you found me! I'm an assault rifle!
Feel free to call me “Assaulton”!
Shizuru, Rui, Q: ……
Assaulton: Hey, come on! Ignoring me is pretty harsh, you know? I'm on your side, alright?
Rui: …It looks like we're in the world of Mission Stadium created by Messiah.
Assaulton: How about the three of you form a clan and enter the Messiah Cup together?
Shizuru: What’s a clan?
Rui: …Well, it's like forming a team.
Shizuru: Ohh~
Q: So, what's the deal with entering the Messiah Cup? Are there any perks to it?
Assaulton: Yeah! Those who overcome countless trials...
Can get the right to take on the player and streamer champion, Messiah!
Those who defeat Messiah will become legends in Mission Stadium!
Q: Oh, I see. Becoming a legend in Messiah's imaginary world... hmm.
Shizuru: But if we keep winning, we might get a chance to meet Messiah, right?
Rui: …Break it or make it..
...No choice but to make it...
Assaulton: Alright! That's the response I was waiting for! Let's start the preliminaries right away, game on!
[BANG]
Shizuru: W-what's going on!?
Rui: Hide, Shizuru!
Shizuru: Wa…wait a minute……!
Hold on a sec.… !
[BANG BANG]
Rui: Don’t zone out like that.
Shizuru: Wait, Mission Stadium is an FPS, right?
Rui: Yeah, if you get shot, it's game over.
Shizuru: This is the “Freaky Panini Showdown”?!
Rui: Huh? Freaky Panini Showdown?! What are you talking about…?
Q: Ahahahaha!!
Shizuru: Q————!
This isn’t a bread-eating contest at all!
Q: You wouldn't have a bread-eating competition in a game, would you?
Shizuru: ~ ~ !
Rui: an FPS.... is short for “First-Person Shooter”.
Shizuru: Sho-shooter?!… It definitely doesn’t sound like the “Freaky Panini Showdown” at all—...
Rui: Our mission is to avoid enemy attacks and defeat them using weapons or even our bare hands.
Shizuru: …Man, I suck at these kinds of games, and I'm not really good with weapons and stuff...
Rui: Well, then you’ll just die. Whatever, just don't slow me down, ‘kay? Let's go!
Shizuru: Wa-wait for me~!
Ha… Haa….
I managed to make it out alive.
Q: Shizuru, you're taking too much damage and moving too much. You suck at this~
Shizuru: Man, you guys are way too good at this! Q, you hardly took any damage...
Rui is basically unscathed!
Q: This is normal. You’re just getting killed too much.
Shizuru: That's what I'm saying~! I have no experience with games, so I seriously don't know what I'm doing!
Q: Even so, this is a world of competition. Isn't that right, Rui?
Rui: Yeah. It’s like those suckers are dropping dead on their own.
Q: In the world of gaming, suckers don’t have any rights at all, they’re all just suckooos! [1]
Shizuru: What's up with you guys suddenly getting so rude? Can't you be a bit nicer to newbies?
And besides, isn't it inconvenient for you guys too if I get killed too much?
Rui: Then we just need to make up for it by getting more kills ourselves.
Shizuru: …Man, I'm starting to worry if I can keep up in Slam Days from now on...
Assaulton: Rui, Q. Come on, don’t say that!
Shizuru: Assaulton~! Are you gonna have my back~?!
Assaulton: Well, you know, games are about winning and losing, but having fun is important too, right?
Shizuru: Assaulton the MVP…
Assaulton: Ahaha, and besides, Rui!
Rui: …Huh?
Assaulton: Everyone starts as a beginner at first, even players with exceptional skills.
You were like that at first too, weren't you?
Rui: .…What do you mean by that?
Assaulton: Oh, looks like the next match is starting! Well then, GLHF!
Shizuru: … GLHF?
Assaulton: “Good luck, have fun!”
It's a pre-game greeting in FPS games, like "Let's have fun!"or "Let's do our best!"
Shizuru: Terminologies can be tricky sometimes~ especially in FPS games
