| Muku | W-we would like to begin the 2nd MANZAI x MANKAI Company—shortened to MANMAN—Grand Prix! |
| Azuma | I didn’t think we’d have a 2nd one. |
| Muku | We’re holding this 2nd grand prix at its founder Citron-sama’s request. |
| Azuma | The rules changed a little, right? |
| Muku | Yes! This time, every troupe member who isn’t participating in the competition will be a judge. Each person gets one vote; the pair with the most votes is the winner. |
| We have a few more pairs this time. The winning pair from the 1st competition will be seeded to join from the semifinals. |
| Azuma | The winning pair will receive a ticket to a dinner cruise. |
| You can invite seven members total, so you should use it for your troupe and Director. |
| Muku | I would like to ask the first-time winners, the "Permed Kame" pair, to give us a word! |
| Kamekichi | The dinner cruise is mine! Director, you should spend a hot night with me. |
| Manager | I wonder if parrots are allowed on the cruise ship....? |
| Yuki | He probably doesn’t need a ticket. |
| Banri | Yeah, he can just fly above the ship. |
| Muku | Th-then let’s begin the first round—! |
| Tsuzuru | Citron-san, let’s win this one for sure. |
| Citron | Of course! |
| |
| Izumi | (We’re holding this MANMAN Grand Prix because of Citron-kun’s wish in his second scroll. Despite everything, everyone is really into it.) |
| (Last time was a close match, but I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the teams won this time as well....) |
| Azuma | —Now it’s time for the final round. |
| Muku | The final match will be between Spring Troupe, Citron-sama and Tsuzuru-san’s pair, “Citrun,” and Winter Troupe, Tsumugi-san and Hisoka-san’s pair, “MarshMugi.” |
| |
| Tsuzuru | ...This might be our last time, so I need to do my very best. |
| Citron | Latex, Tsuzuru. Loosen up; let’s have fun. |
| Tsuzuru | Citron-san... You’re right. Let’s have fun! |
| |
| Muku | Please go ahead, “Citrun”! |
| Tsuzuru | Hello, I’m Tsuzuru. |
| Citron | And I’m the genie of the lamp.... |
| Tsuzuru | Together, we’re—wait, that’s so sudden. |
| Citron | I’ll kind of make your wish come true! |
| Tsuzuru | Just kind of? So sloppy. Fine, then, I wanna get rich! |
| Citron | Then you should invest 70,000 yen a month. If you invest at an annual interest rate of 5% for 40 years, you should be set for prosperity after retirement. |
| Tsuzuru | So realistic...! Ah, then, I’m thirsty. I want juice. |
| Citron | Then wait just a moment. Where’s the nearest convenience store? |
| Tsuzuru | Aren’t you just an errand boy!? You’re definitely human. |
| Citron | I am the genie of the lamp... I’ll kind of make your wish come true. |
| |
| Tsuzuru | That’s enough! |
| Thank you very much! |
| Citron | Thank you~. |
| Muku | And that was “Citrun’s” performance! “MarshMugi,” please take the stage! |
| Tsumugi | Thanks for watching. |
| Hisoka | ...Hello. |
| Tsumugi | You know, my shoulders have been hurting lately. |
| Hisoka | ...Why? |
| Tsumugi | I wonder if that thing I did the other day was the cause... Can you watch me for a sec? |
| Hisoka | ...Yup. |
| Tsumugi | .... |
| Hisoka | ...Baseball? |
| Tsumugi | Nope. |
| Hisoka | ...The Awa dance[1]? |
| Tsumugi | Nope. |
| Hisoka | ...Swimming? |
| Tsumugi | Close. |
| The correct answer is, “When I thought I found a friend and tapped them on their shoulder but it turned out they were a completely different person so I tried to cover for myself by talking to another person and was mistaken for a pervert.” |
| Hisoka | That’s way too specific. How would I know. Also, swimming isn’t even close. |
| |
| Tenma | Pfft. |
| Izumi | Ahaha! |
| Citron | This way-too-specific-gesture series is too strong...! |
| Tsuzuru | He’s so good at this: when he explains the situation to you, you totally see it. Only Tsukioka-san could do this. |
| Itaru | I didn’t expect an ambush from this corner.... |
| Tasuku | He really came up with a clever idea. |
| |
| Azuma | And the results are.... |
| Muku | Five to seven—the winners are “MarshMugi”! |
| |
| Tsumugi | Hisoka-kun, we won. |
| Hisoka | ...I’m tired. |
| Tsuzuru | We lost again.... |
| Citron | There was nothing we could do. “MarshMugi” was a powerful opponent. |
| But that was fun. You’re the greatest companion, Tsuzuru. |
| Tsuzuru | Citron-san.... |
| I had fun too. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t written it down on a scroll—let’s do another MANMAN Grand Prix before you go! |
| We still have time; this isn’t our last one! |
| Citron | ...You’re right. |
| |
| Muku | Then the winning pair, “MarshMugi,” will receive a dinner cruise ticket from Azu-nee-san—. |
| Tsumugi | About that. We’ll pass on the reward. |
| Hisoka | ...We’ll give it to Citron and Tsuzuru. |
| Tsuzuru | Eh? |
| Tsumugi | You guys should go make memories with everyone in Spring Troupe. |
| Tsuzuru | Tsukioka-san.... |
| Citron | Tsumugi, Hisoka, thank you! |
