| Itaru | If possible, I'd like to do my mission while I still have enough stamina. |
| Izumi | I wonder what Bishamonten's mission is. |
| Kumon | Ah, this place is also a checkpoint! |
| Guy | This place is… an arcade. |
| |
| Staff | God of good fortune in war in the old days, Bishamonten! The mission for this checkpoint will be, "Defeating the boss of a fighting game"! |
| Muku | Itaru-san…! |
| Itaru | Nice! Here I come!! |
| |
| --Alright, the boss is defeated. Are we done here? |
| Misumi | Wow, you're so awesome, Itaru! You beat it in no time! |
| Itaru | For real, man, I'm so lucky that the mission turned out to be fighting game. This is the power of extreme luck~. |
| Kumon | With this we got two seven lucky gods dolls! |
| |
| Homare | Well, the next checkpoint is… |
| Izumi | It should be Hoteison's checkpoint. |
| Misumi | It's my turn~! |
| Staff | If we're talking about Hoteison, of course it's gotta be his smile! Please make your opponent smile. The name of the mission is, "Staring contest"! |
| Itaru | Huh? |
| Guy | Ikaruga is always smiling… |
| Azami | Won't Misumi-san start laughing as soon as his opponent makes funny face…? |
| Izumi | Uhh, Misumi-kun, what's your call? |
| Misumi | Whoa, lucky~! You see, I'm really good at staring contest~! |
| Homare | Is that so? |
| Kumon | I never know that! |
| Muku | This is my first time hearing this… |
| Itaru | That means, this is a specialty of yours that even your teammates don't know about? |
| Staff | Now, Mankai Company's Hoteison, please take this spot! |
| Misumi | I'm off~! |
| Opponent | Haha, look like this'll be an easy win. |
| Izumi | (I can only see Misumi-kun's back from here… Will he be alright…?) |
| Staff | Let the staring contest begin~! First one to laugh is the loser--. |
| Misumi | Boo~. |
| Opponent | !!! ...Pffft! Ahahaha! |
| Troupe Members | !? |
| Staff | B-Bravo~! Hoteison from Mankai Company is the winner! |
| Misumi | See~! I'm really good at this~! |
| Azami | I can't believe you took down your opponent within seconds. |
| Guy | Just what kind of face are you… |
| Itaru | I really want to see it, but I'm too scared. |
| Misumi | Yeaay~! We got Hoteison doll~! |
| Homare | We're doing good! We're on a roll! |
| Izumi | The power of extreme luck is amazing! |
| Kumon | Those with extreme luck are so awesome… Will I be all right… |
| Guy | Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be fine. |
| Muku | He's right. Good luck, Kyu-chan! |
| Azami | Then, the next checkpoint is--. |
| Aaron | Hold on!! |
| Izumi | Huh? |
| Aaron | Don't think I'll let you go that easily, Mankai Company… I shall challenge you to an etude battle with our seven lucky gods! |
| Misumi | Whaat~!? |
| Staff | Oh, dear! An etude battle has broken out here!! |
| Spectator A | Hey, hey, what's happening? An etude battle? |
| Spectator B | That means we've got to watch an etude? How lucky! |
| Izumi | Please, Please wait a minute. What are you doing so sudden…! |
| Guy | But doesn't that mean we're going to deliver the first play of the year? |
| Staff | You, you have a point… We're not going to go on the stage so it's alright! |
| Itaru | Dude, your rules are too loose… |
| Homare | Hmm, but well, from the organizers' point of view, holding an etude can liven up the event even more. It's such a great delight… |
| Azami | Tch, we've gained quite the spectators already… we've got no choice but to deal with 'em now. |
| Aaron | Hmph, brace yourself. We'll be starting first! |
| |
| Spectator A | It was fresh and interesting! |
| Spectator B | It wasn't like your usual seven lucky gods-themed play! That was cool~! |
| Guy | They played the evil version of seven lucky gods, huh. It was certainly an interesting theme. |
| Itaru | Just as I thought, I don't really hate it. |
| Kumon | Me too…! |
| Izumi | Scarecrow's unique way of seeing things is certainly something else… |
| Homare | But we couldn't afford to lose. In oppose to them, shall we go as the seven lucky gods of justice? |
| Misumi | Okaay, let's do our best~! |
| Homare | "Drive the misfortune away, bring in fortune! We, the seven lucky gods of justice, shall fight the calamity!" |
| Misumi | "Using my smile power, I have a skill that will reclaim the army of calamity!" |
| Muku | "I shall blow away the calamity with this big fan of mine! Take this!" |
| Itaru | "Now, look at my new move! Haa!" |
| Azami | "I won't lose as well. Using the sound of this Biwa[1], I'll brush away the evils!" |
| Kumon | "I'll do something too, naturally! I shall fight with this big yucky ma… this big lucky mallet!" |
| Then…! That...uhh…! |
| Izumi | (Because he messed up his line, Kumon-kun got panicked and couldn't recite his next lines…) |
| Guy | "...Hey, Daikokuten! I see you are trying to stand out again. I know you're thinking about a cool name for your technique." |
| Itaru | "Oh, I see. Since your name is Daikokuten, I bet you're aiming for the cool Black position in the squadron, are you not?" |
| Misumi | "It's not fair, Daikokuten!" |
| Kumon | "I-It's because I'm Daikokuten that I should be the Seven Lucky Black! Hang on, I'll reveal a cool name for my technique!" |
| Spectators | Ahaha! |
| Izumi | (Thank goodness. It went well thanks to Guy-san's follow-up.) |
| |
| Staff | The winner is… Mankai Company!! |
| Muku | Yeaay! |
| Misumi | We won~! |
| Aaron | Bas-Bastard…! Again…! |
| Kumon | Sorry! I screwed up during the performance… |
| Itaru | Don't mind, Don't mind~. |
| Izumi | We were able to turn that mistake into a comedy, so it ended well. |
| Homare | I agree. Guy-san's follow-up was wonderful. |
| Kumon | Guy-san, thank you so much! If it wasn't for your follow-up, I… |
| Guy | It's no problem. Don't mind it. |
| Azami | Hey, let's head to the next checkpoint. We're already wasting time because of the battle. |
| Misumi | Leggo~! |
