R Cater Diamond - Beans Camo Vignette
"Best of luck!"
[Woods Behind Campus]
Grim: Myaaaah… Monsters keep on comin' from here and there, I'm pooped…
Jade: Supply points allow for gear that provides an advantage in this game…
Jade: However, the probability that Monster teams are lying in wait for us Farmer teams is quite high.
Cater: And even though Deuce-chan went off as bait, I don't think we've encountered any less foes…
Jade: We may be completely surrounded by opponents before we can even hope to reach the harp in the coliseum.
Cater: Yeah. There's so many Monster guys in this area for some reason!
Cater: In summary… We might be sooo screwed ☆
Grim: Myah!? We just started, I don't wanna lose already!
Cater: Well, then. Guess ol' Cay-kun'll have to take the beans shooter to scout out a safe road ahead.
Cater: You guys should all hide out so you don't get caught by any Monster folks.
Jade: Understood. [Yuu]-san, Grim-kun, we'll stay put here like good little children.
Cater: Okay, then I'm off ♪
[rabble, rabble]
Cater: There's a lot of commotion around here…
Cater: Woah! That's so many Monsters! And they're against how many Farmers…?
Cater: Just one!?
Monster Team Student A: It's Malleus! He's got no gear, he's completely unarmed!
Monster Team Student B: If we can capture him, there's no way the Monster team'll lose!
Monster Team Student B: Everyone, chaaarge!!
Malleus: Oh my, there are dozens of you Monsters up against one little Farmer… Is this not the opposite of what actually happened in the tale?
Monster Team Student C: Augh, I can't grab him!
Monster Team Student A: He's slipping through my fingers!!
Cater: Woooah～ Look how fast he's moving. That's way too OP, isn't it…!?
Cater: So the reason there were so many Monsters around here was 'cause they were aiming for Malleus-kun, huh.
Cater: If they left him alone, he'd totally nab the harp in seconds, so the strategy makes sense.
Cater: …Well, I know why they're all here, but this is bad. One wrong move here, and I'll get found out by the Monster teams.
Cater: I still have to get back to where [Yuu]-chan and the others are…
Cater: In that case… Ahh, ahem.
Cater: A TON OF FARMERS ARE HEADED THIS WAY!! THEY'VE ALL GOT BEAN SHOOTERS!
Cater: EVERYONE RUUUUN!!!!
Monster Team Students: !!! Oh shoot, retreat, everybody!!
[everyone dashes off]
Cater: Nice, there go all the Monsters. Best plan ever ♪
Malleus: …Is that you, Diamond?
Cater: Hmm? Oh, so you noticed, Malleus-kun?
Malleus: Indeed, at least to a presence hidden in the bushes. I only realized it was you once you sent those Monsters scrambling.
Malleus: However, for a human like you to aid me like this… Were you anticipating a reward of some kind?
Cater: No waaay～ I mean, I won't say no if you're gonna give me something, though.
Cater: Look, check out my armband. We're on the same team, so isn't it obvious for me to help out?
Cater: Anyway, Malleus-kun, these sorts of events is all about playin' it smart.
Cater: Wouldn't it be easier if you just avoided paths that're littered with the opposing team, or running away from 'em when you're unarmored like that?
Malleus: Hmm… Is that how it should be?
Cater: Yeah, that's how it is!
Malleus: I had rather been enjoying the bit of sport, though.
Cater: Totally'd be down with it if you wanted to go off somewhere that's not here, sure.
Cater: Anyway, I'm outta here!
Malleus: Alright.
Cater: Best of luck! Hope you stick around to the end, Malleus-kun!
Cater: And so, let me just snap a… Oh, he's already gone. He's too fast!!
Grim: Cater's takin' forever～ …Ah! What if he already got got by a Monster!?
Cater: BOO!!!!
Grim: Myaaaaaah!!?
Grim: C-C-C-C-C-C-C-Cater!!!? Don't shout all'a sudden from behind me like that!!
Cater: It's all 'cause you're saying mean stuff～ What, you think I'm that weak?
Cater: You're hurting Cay-kun. Boo-hoo.
Jade: So, was your scouting mission successful?
Cater: Yup. Looks like the reason why there were so many Monster team folks around here was 'cause they were out trying to capture Malleus-kun.
Jade: I see, they were going for a strength in large numbers against a foe as formidable as he.
1. Malleus-san? 2. That's the Diasomnia Housewarden, right…?
Grim: Hey, if he's that strong, shouldn't we have had him join us, then?
Grim: Why didn't you invite him?
Cater: I guess… Probably because the bad outweighed the good?
Cater: Yeah, he's super strong, but when he stands out that much, he'll get targeted that many more times.
Cater: Malleus-kun himself might be able to run away, but we'd end up getting caught up by them in the end!
Grim: Uh-huh. So, basically, it ain't enough to be super strong in this game, huh? Looks like I gotta keep that in mind for myself, too.
Cater: Gri-chan, you're so clever ♪
Cater: Alright, we can't keep dawdling here forever, so let's get a move on.
Cater: I think it should be safer if we head towards the coliseum from a different direction as Malleus-kun.
Jade: I agree with Cater-san.
Cater: Okay, might be a bit roundabout… But we're off to the coliseum, the long way!
Jade/Grim: Got it. / You betcha!
