Banri	So since we started doing the MANKAI Channel thing, Autumn Troupe also needs to make and upload a video.
Omi	A channel huh, sounds fun.
Taichi	It's finally our video debut. I'm so hyped!
Azami	I guess it's good publicity.
Sakyo	Listen carefully. Our fans nowadays desire information about our company and about the time we spend outside of performances. We have our social media, but keeping on offering new items to the fans is one trick to make sure they won't lose interest. Especially Troupes that don't have a performance going, have to keep the fans' interest until their next performances and blah blah, yada yada.
Juza	So, what video should we film?
Sakyo	I've just explained it.
Taichi	All I heard was blah blah and yada yada!
Omi	Me too.
Banri	Same.
Azami	It's the usual right.
Sakyo	Huh. Listen. I'll say it again so listen carefully. What we seek for our video is an Autumn Troupe-like item that would contribute to improving the company's image.
Banri	An Autumn Troupe-like item…
Taichi	So something with flashy action, like a battle, right?
Omi	Looking at our performances that's the right conclusion. But the question is whether we can really film a battle scene so easily.
Juza	If you're looking for a fight, I just need to walk outside and it'll happen in seconds.
Banri	We should just put a camera on Hyodo and make him walk around right.
Azami	Should we really take such a brutal video?
Sakyo	Naturally it's rejected.
Azami	It doesn’t have to be a fight, there's sports too right.
Omi	True, a match is also a type of a battle.
Banri	Thinking about sports you can play with six people… futsal, or 3 vs 3 basketball?
Azami	Futsal sounds good.
Taichi	Omi-kun and Aa-chan you have an advantage since you're in the soccer club!
Sakyo	Team matches aren't interesting when there're unequal conditions.
Banri	Saying that, putting Hyodo in any sports that involves a ball is a sure way to sink.
Juza	Huh? The hell do you mean by that?
Taichi	Juza-san, you're good at ball throwing right?
Banri	But anything other than this simple action is impossible right. Can you play defense in basketball?
Azami	He looks like the type to make foul after foul.
Taichi	Like basketball manga!
Juza	Tch.
Sakyo	So you're not gonna deny that.
Omi	In that sense, Banri would be able to do anything.
Banri	Well, more or less.
Taichi	If it's something none of us has done before, Ban-chan would have the upper hand.
Sakyo	Pfft, such an irregularity.
Omi	Maybe we should think about something other than sports.
Taichi	Ah, speaking of which, I want to try doing a survival game!
Juza	A survival game huh. That fits Autumn Troupe.
Azami	It's too fitting that the impression is gonna be brutal though.
Sakyo	Hyodo has used guns in our play before, and we're used to the movement to some extent so it might be a good idea.
Banri	Where can you do survival games?
Juza	Do they have rules?
Taichi	I'll look it up. Hmm… Ah! Seems like there's a sports similar to survival game. Seems like it's called paintball.
Azami	Ohh, first time I hear of it.
Juza	You shoot ink filled balls at each other, and if they hit you you're out.
Banri	The rules are easy to understand too, isn't it good?
Omi	And it's very Autumn Troupe-ish.
Sakyo	Then the content of our video is going to be paintball.
Taichi	Welcome to MANKAI Channel! I'm Nanao Taichi from the Autumn Troupe. For our first video we decided to try taking up paintball!
Juza	Paintball is a survival game-like sports where you shoot ink filled balls at each other.
Sakyo	Since it's for video purposes, we'll be playing with somewhat gentler rules.
Azami	That being said, the match is going to be an all out battle.
Banri	It wouldn't be interesting otherwise.
Omi	The filming is from above this time so it might be hard for you to see, but it's our first video so we hope you'll forgive us.
Taichi	Then, first we gotta split into teams! Rock, paper, scissors!
Everyone	Go!
Azami	It really divided nicely.
Banri	Then A Team is me, Taichi and Azami.
Juza	B Team is me, Omi-san and Sakyo-san.
Sakyo	I'll explain the rules simply. There're all types of rules to paintball, but this time we decided on an elimination match. If you're shot you're out, you leave the field, and the team with the last man standing is the winner.
Taichi	We're not gonna lose!
Omi	We have to do our best so we don't get eliminated straight away.
Banri	Do we have only five minutes for strategy meeting?
Taichi	We don't have much time!
Banri	For starters we have to pay attention to Hyodo's stamina and Sakyo-san's strategies.
Azami	Yeah. Well you take care of Juza-san, Banri-san.
Banri	Can't be helped.
Taichi	Sakyo-nii would probably come up with some crazy plan!
Banri	It's Sakyo-san after all. He would come nagging at us from far away or something right. We should destroy them while they're getting prepared for a drawn-out battle.
Azami	Agreed.
Taichi	Roger!
Sakyo	Listen carefully now. When it comes to both fighting power and cool headedness, Settsu is the key point. If we take him down, it will be easier to eliminate the rest.
Omi	Saying that, he's our most formidable enemy.
Juza	I'll take care of Settsu.
Sakyo	No, our chance to win will increase if we all attack together. It's Settsu we're talking about. If you move, Hyodo, he'll definitely show himself. We'll crush him then.
Juza	So I'll become a bait.
Omi	Be careful out there.
Juza	'kay.
	*whistle*
Banri	Azami you go from the right. Taichi you charge from the left.
Azami	Roger.
Taichi	Got that!
Juza	We're going.
Sakyo	I'll cover you from behind.
Omi	I'll go from the right.
	*gunshots*
Banri	So Hyodo is coming.
Taichi	Juza-san is charging at us from the front!?
Azami	Banri-san we're leaving him to you.
	*gunshots*
Taichi	Uwah! Omi-kun is coming from over here!
Omi	I'll need you to let me pass.
Taichi	Eeek! I'm sorry Ban-chan, I can't move!
	*gunshots*
Sakyo	There.
Azami	Where did it come from…
Sakyo	Tch, I missed.
Azami	Geh, he really came at us from a far.
Sakyo	Did you say something?
Azami	How did he even hear me from all the way there.
	*gunshots*
Banri	Coming straight ahead from the front, as expected from Hyodo!
Juza	Shut your trap.
Taichi	Eh? Omi-kun disappeared? Phew, lucky.
	*gunshots*
	Eh, from behind me!?
Omi	I'm sorry.
Taichi	Guys, I'm in trouble! Omi-kun came from behind-
Sakyo	Good job, Fushimi.
Azami	Dodge it Taichi-san!
	*hit*
Taichi	Gyaah!
Banri	Tch, so Taichi is down.
Juza	Nice Sakyo-san.
Sakyo	With this it's three vs tw-
Azami	Two vs two.
Sakyo	Tch, when did you…
Azami	It's the end.
	*hit*
Omi	Sakyo-san was taken down?
Taichi	Nice, Aa-chan!
Banri	Looks like it's better if we regroup for now.
Juza	You running away?
Banri	Unlike you, I can do more than just charging thoughtlessly!
Juza	Tch.
Omi	Juza, let's regroup for now.
Juza	Yes.
Banri	Both of them have stamina, if the match draws out it would be bad for us. We need to end it quickly.
Azami	Got it. Seems like it's better if we make sure they don't find us.
Banri	True that.
Omi	It would be bad if we get separated and end up in a 1 vs 2 situation. We should stick close to each other.
Juza	We'll take them out one by one.
Omi	Yeah. Let's go.
Juza	'kay.
	*gunshots*
	Where…
Omi	Juza, on your right!
Banri	Tch, they found us.
Azami	They're persistent.
	*gunshots*
Omi	Juza, I'll cover you so stand down for now.
Juza	Got it!
	*gunshots*
Azami	We can't get closer.
Banri	Omi is really good at keeping his position.
Azami	What do we do now Banri-san?
Banri	Maybe it's better if we watch their movements.
	*gunshots*
Omi	Seems like they're not making a move. Us too…
Juza	Omi-san, at this rate nothing will change. I'll become a bait.
Omi	No, it's better if you're the last to stay. You get behind Azami. While I attract Azami's attention, you shoot Azami.
Juza	Got it.
	*gunshots*
Azami	When did you get behind me?
Omi	There was a hurdle in a perfect position.
	*gunshots*
Azami	This can't be real, shit!
	*hit*
	Awright I got a hit!
Omi	Huh, I missed. Juza, I'll leave the rest to you!
Juza	I'll avenge you.
Azami	Eh, Juza-san was behind you?
	*hit*
	There was no way in hell I could dodge that.
Juza	My bad.
Azami	Banri-san I'm out.
Banri	Heh, you used Omi as a shield, some way to go.
Juza	Now it's one vs one.
	*gunshots*
Banri	Ugh so persistent, go down already!
Juza	That's my line!
	*gunshots*
Taichi	They can't seem to finish the match huh.
Azami	Unless one of them makes a wrong move, it might last forever.
Sakyo	We'll probably hit the time limit and it'll end in a draw.
Omi	There's one minute left after all.
	*gunshots*
Banri	Woah!
Juza	You're mine!
Taichi	Ban-chan fell and dropped his gun!
Omi	Go, Juza!
Banri	I won't let you!
	*splash*
Juza	cough*
Taichi	Ban-chan, amazing! He took the gun again!
Sakyo	He threw mud at him. Settsu has some good reflexes.
Omi	Ten seconds left!
Banri	There's no way it's gonna end in a tie!
Juza	Again, that's my line!
Taichi	No way, they're charging ahead at each other?
Azami	Three seconds left. Two, one.
	*gunshot*
	*whistle*
Taichi	And so, this time the match has ended in a tie! We'll try challenging many things from now on, so please subscribe to our channel!
Banri	See you.
Azami	Goodbye.
Omi	It was fun. Watch us again.
Juza	Thanks.
Sakyo	See you.
