Kumon | Phew… |
| HYAAAH--!!! |
| *cracking sounds* |
| Ah… There's only one left again… |
Guy | No, you're doing good. |
Kumon | Osu![1] |
| |
| Guy-san! From tomorrow onwards, let's smash roof tiles together after rehearsal! |
Guy | I don't mind, but… Is there any reasons for it? |
Kumon | Nii-chan told me to blow away my bad luck with fighting spirit! If we're talking about fighting spirit, of course it's gotta be karate, right! |
| Thus, to increase our luck, I think we should pump ourselves up and smash roof tiles with the words "bad luck" written on it! What do you think!? |
Guy and Citron | … |
Kumon | ...Is it...weird? |
Guy | No, I think it's a very nice plan. |
Citron | Sounds great! I think it can increase your luck, and is a perfect choice for both you and Guy! |
| |
Kumon | I've been smashing roof tiles since that time, but no matter how many times I did it, I could never smash the last tile. I feel complicated for only smashing nine tiles every day. |
| But! Our luck should have increased a little bit, right…? |
Guy | Yes. The rest is up to us. |
Kumon | Yup! Okay… Let's give it our all for today's seven lucky gods race!! |
| |
Misumi | Whoa! There's a lot of seven lucky gods~! |
Muku | It's as if we're wandering into a festival of the gods! |
Guy | Even though they are the same seven lucky gods, each troupe comes with different costumes. |
Homare | ...Oh my? That theater troupe is… |
Aaron | Fufu, we'll dye this New Year with the Scarecrow Color. |
Izumi | Oh, those people are… If I'm not mistaken, they're from the theater group Scarecrow, right? |
Azami | They really stand out… I don't wanna get involved with 'em for some reason. |
Itaru | You think so? I don't really hate it, though. |
Kumon | I get you! I also think they're giving off quite the cool vibes! |
Izumi | (Both of them are being stimulated by their chuuni mind…) |
Staff | Those who are participating in the seven lucky gods race, please take this! |
|
Guy | This is… a treasure ship, right? |
Muku | But no one is on board. |
MC | Have you all gotten the treasure ships? |
| Soon after this, please go around the seven checkpoints and complete each of the given missions there! |
| Once you clear a mission, you will get a doll of one of the seven lucky gods. Once you have all the gods on board the ship, please return to the venue. |
Itaru | Oh, I see. |
MC | Each mission should be done by the member playing the god that represents the checkpoint. However! you are allowed to use the "lucky mallet" once. |
| In other words, the "lucky mallet" refers to substitute. You are allowed to have a different member attempt the challenge only once. |
Homare | I see, the lucky mallet is a treasure that Daikokuten has. If you chant the things that you want and swing the mallet, it's said that you will get what you want. |
| It's witty of them to make it the name for the substitute rule. |
MC | The troupe who returns here the earliest with all of the seven lucky gods dolls on board the treasure ship will be declared the winner! |
| Good luck, everyone! Let the race begin! |
| *whistle sounds* |
Izumi | Okay, let's do our best, guys! I'll be counting on you, Mankai's seven lucky gods! |
Mankai's Seven Lucky Gods | Yeah! |
Misumi | Let's go to the checkpoint! Go go~! |
Kumon | Then… Let's try going here first! |
| |
Staff | Welcome to Benzaiten's checkpoint! Given that Benzaiten is an Indian god… |
| The mission in this checkpoint will be, "Eating spicy curry quickly"! |
Muku | Huh!? |
Homare | Hmm, it doesn't have anything to do with beauty at all. |
Azami | And eatin' curry first thing in the morning… |
Kumon | Sorry! I was the one who suggested going to this place first… |
Izumi | It smells so delicious, though… I'm so jealous; I wanna have a bite too… |
Itaru | Back at it again with your curry obsession. |
Kumon | Will you be alright, Azami? |
Azami | ...Well, I think I can do it. |
| |
Another Troupe's Benzaiten A | Urgh… This curry is quite spicy… |
Another Troupe's Benzaiten B | Eating spicy curry first thing in the morning is just too harsh…! |
Azami | I'm done. |
Staff | Ooh! Benzaiten from Mankai Company has splendidly eaten up everything! Congratulations! |
| With that said, here's your doll! |
Azami | Thanks. |
Muku | Amazing, Azami-kun! |
Kumon | You did it, Azami! I expected no less from you! |
Azami | Since I've eaten all kinds of spicy curry in the dorm, eatin' one in the morning is nothing out of ordinary. |
Homare | Director-kun's love for curry has borne fruits. |
Izumi | I'm glad it was useful! In that case, I shall make curry for breakfast ever--. |
Azami | Nah, don't. |
Itaru | Looks like the excellent luck has gone into effect already? We're off to a good start. |
Misumi | Yup, yup! Let's keep it up~! |
Guy | Shall we head to the next checkpoint, then? |
