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

[1] Q was trying to exaggerate or even make a pun out of the word ザコ so I made it sound similar to the original (to make him more annoying /lh)
