Chikage	......
Citron	I'm home!
Misumi	I'm home~!
Chikage	Ah, welcome back.
Misumi	Chikage~ What book are you reading~?
Chikage	A translated version of a Sherlock Holmes book.
Citron	Oh, for role building?
Chikage	Yes. Juza and Kumon are trying to read it as well.
	That sleepyhead is trying to read it too, though unlike him I’ve actually read this before.
Misumi	I hope Kumon does his best reading the novel and the script~! I’ll give him lots of triangles if he does a good job~
Chikage	I’m sure he’ll do well.
Misumi	Hey, what kinda story is that book about anyway, Chikage?
Chikage	I’m reading a short story titled “The Last Case”.
Citron	Oh! Has he finally solved all the mysteries of the world?!
Chikage	Yes… But also no.
	The story revolves around the final battle between the rival pair of Moriarty and Holmes.
Misumi	I see~
Chikage	Well, in the end they both fall pff a cliff and into a waterfall basin and die.
Citron	Oh… A bad end.. How sad….
Misumi	Wait, but how did they fall?
Chikage	I believe they ran into each other and fell.
Citron	But did someone push the other?
Chikage	Haha, something like sumo, you think?
Citron	HAA!!!
	I just came up with a good idea!!
Chikage	?
Izumi	Thank you for the food.
Tsuzuru	Oh, I’ll wash the dishes today.
Izumi	Thanks, then I’ll be--
Citron	Elise and Andersen!!
Tsuzuru	You couldn’t be more far off! But, what are you doing so suddenly?!
Citron	After dinner, we will be holding a push sumo tournament!
Banri	...Huh?
Juza	Push sumo…?
Guy	Delicious plums? Like the dessert?
Azuma	Push sumo, Guy.
Tsumugi	It’s a game where you push your hands on someone to try and get them out of the ring.
Itaru	Right here, right now?
Tasuku	I hope not.
Taichi	Sure sounds interesting!
Kazunari	I gotta film this!!
Citron	Hisoka, Chikage, Kumon and Juza are all acting in the upcoming performance, so they are all invited to participate.
Chikage	It’s for my role.
Kumon	I’m not sure that I’ll do well, but I’ll try my best!
Juza	If it’s for Chikage-san’s role.. I’ll help out.
Hisoka	… What a pain.
Citron	Fufufu, I prepared a prize though! Azuma?
Azuma	Fufu, It’s a set of 5 bags of high class marshmallows.
Hisoka	I’ll join.
Tsuzuru	That easily?!
Banri	Damn, he sure is motivated.
Citron	Perfect! We have all 4 people competitors ready to go!

Izumi	Everyone’s surprisingly excited about the tournament, huh.. Ah, Hisoka-san's up!
Azuma	Fufu, he’s very motivated by the marshmallows.
Izumi	The other ones competing are Juza-kun, Kumon-kun and Chikage-san.
Tsuzuru	Seems like everyone performing is doing it.
Citron	Starting up is Juza VS. Hisoka!
	Ready, set, GO!
Juza	… Let’s do this.
Hisoka	...
	Ah, there’s a donut UFO over there.
Juza	..!?
Hisoka	Gotcha.
Juza	Oh.
Citron	That’s a match! Hisoka wins!
Guy	Is it really a tactic to distract your opponent to get them out of the ring?
Izumi	Hisoka sure does know Juza well, doesn’t he?
Banri	Hey, the fuck was that? You were supposed to win!
Tsuzuru	Ahaha, it seems sweets will always win Juza-kun over.
Juza	But a donut UFO.. Sounded so good…
Azuma	It’s honestly a lot like psychological warfare. Congrats.
Hisoka	Yup. Those marshmallows are mine.
Citron	Now that that’s over, Chikage VS. Kumon!
	Ready, set, GO!
Kumon	Let’s go! Guuuuuuuuuhhhhh…!!
Chikage	Hey, you’re surprisingly strong.
Izumi	Wow, Kumon-kun and Chikage-san are a pretty close match…!
Tenma	It’s pretty surprising.
Yuki	Isn’t the little bro pushing harder?
Kazunari	Looks like Kumopi has this in the bag!
Itaru	I wouldn’t say that if I were you~
Tsuzuru	Yeah..
Chikage	There.
Kumon	Huh? Ah wait, what!?
Kazunari	Eeh?! Kumopi lost just like that!?
Izumi	So it looks like he lost his balance all of the sudden…
Itaru	Great job Senpai, pulling dirty tricks as you do.
Chikage	Kumon was much stronger than I thought he’d be. But I won anyway.
Tsuzuru	I feel like you’re crossing a line here.
Kumon	Darn~! I thought I could win!
Chikage	Because it’s role building, I really can’t afford to lose to someone on Holmes' side.
Citron	And last but not least… Hisoka VS Chikage!
Azuma	Just like Holmes VS Moriarty.
Tasuku	Hisoka’s love for marshmallows is astounding.
Chikage	I really don’t care about the prize.. But since you’re my opponent, I’m going to take you down.
Hisoka	I will never lose to you, Chikage. This is your last chance to back out.
Chikage	You don’t know who you’re talking to.
Taichi	It’s like a duel to the death here…!
Yuki	No, it’s like a push sumo battle.
Kumon	Get his ass, Hisoka-san!
Juza	Do your best, Chikage-san.
Citron	Ready, set, GO!!!!
Hisoka	...
Chikage	...
Kumon	...Huh? Neither of them are moving?
Juza	…?
Tsuzuru	No, wait, they’re--
Izumi	They’re reading each other's movements…!
Itaru	Super advanced psychological warfare…!
Kumon	They’re predicting every move! That’s so cool!!
Azuma	The moment either of them move, the match could be over.
Hisoka	...
Chikage	...
Izumi	It’s been over 5 minutes now, but still neither of them have moved an inch…
Tasuku	… Don’t you think this is a bit much.
Citron	Absolutely not!
Itaru
Tsumugi	Still no sign of movement..
Kumon	A-at this rate, they’ll be there forever!
