| Izumi | (Full of enthusiasm, Chan and Yun launch an attack on Chilong, but they are easily defeated....) |
| Chan | “We didn’t even stand a chance....” |
| Yun | “Because you get in the way.” |
| Chan | “What was that!?” |
| Sage | “You seem to be having a hard time.” |
| Chan | “Master!” |
| Yun | “Why are you here....” |
| Sage | “Han got in touch. I see you couldn’t defeat Chilong.” |
| Chan | “Yes....” |
| Yun | “It would’ve gone just fine if Chan weren’t there.” |
| Chan | “Don’t blame on me!” |
| Sage | “If you want to defeat Chilong, have Han pass on the secret technique that he created—the Tai Chi Lamian Fist.” |
| Chan | “Tai Chi Lamian Fist...?” |
| Sage | “It’s a secret technique, devised through his years of daily ramen cooking.” |
| Chan | “Seriously!? Han-aniki is amazing!” |
| Yun | “Is that real?” |
| Sage | “Indeed. Go ask Han himself for the details.” |
| |
| Han | “Tai Chi Lamian Fist...?” |
| Chan | “Please instruct us, Han-aniki!” |
| Yun | “He told us we could defeat Chilong with this technique.” |
| Han | “No, you say that, but....” |
| Chan | “You devised it by mastering lamian cooking, right!?” |
| Yun | “How can we use it too?” |
| Han | “Ah, umm, that’s right....” |
| “Okay then, can you two help me run this ramen shop? I can’t move for a while because of my injuries. This is your training.” |
| Chan | “Gotcha!” |
| Yun | “I’ll definitely master it before Chan.” |
| Chan | “No, me first!” |
| Han | “Master, you just made something up and shoved all the work to me....” |
| |
| Han | “Listen up. Chan is in charge of the noodles and Yun is in charge of the soup. Speed is crucial when it comes to ramen. I’m counting on you.” |
| Chan | “Alright! Leave it to me!” |
| Yun | “No problem.” |
| Chan | “The noodles are drained! Here we go, Yun!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Yun | “Don’t mess with me! Your timing sucks!” |
| Han | “Don’t drop the noodles.” |
| Chan | “You’re too slow, Yun!” |
| Yun | “You have bad timing, Chan.” |
| Han | “Listen, both of you. Timing and cooperation are important.” |
| Chan | “Yeah!” |
| Yun | “I know.” |
| Han | “...Will this really be okay?” |
| |
| Izumi | (Chan and Yun devote themselves to making lamian, supervised by a somewhat skeptical Han....) |
| (At first, the team-up is a disaster, but they get better and better the more they communicate, and....) |
| Chan | “Yun!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Yun | “I know.” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Customer A | “The noodles flew!” |
| Customer B | “The soup flew too!” |
| Chan | “One order coming right up!” |
| Yun | “Thanks for waiting; here’s your lamian.” |
| Customer A | “Fast....” |
| Customer B | “It’s delicious, too!” |
| Izumi | (We had them arrange this scene action-style, so it turned out really comical. Taichi-kun and Azami-kun look like they’re having fun, too.) |
| Han | “....” |
| Chan | “How was that, Han-aniki?” |
| Han | “It was perfect. I have nothing left to say to either of you! Well done.” |
| Chan | “You’ll teach us the Tai Chi Lamian Fist now, right!?” |
| Han | “Eh? Ah, ah~, about that Tai Chi Lamian Fist....” |
| Yun | “Did you forget about it?” |
| Han | “O-of course not! I didn’t forget. The Tai Chi Lamian Fist is already with you!” |
| Chan | “Eeh!?” |
| Yun | “I don’t feel it at all.” |
| Han | “You master the Lamian Fist through making ramen day after day. I’m sure that it’s part of you. You two can now defeat Chilong.” |
| Chan | “Alright, here we go!” |
| Yun | “I won’t lose to you.” |
| Han | “Don’t forget timing and cooperation, you two!” |
| “...This is what you wanted, right, master?” |
| |
| Izumi | (Instigated by Han, the two go to challenge Chilong once again....) |
| Chilong | “You again? Looks like you never learn.” |
| Chan | “We’ll win this time!” |
| Yun | “You’re in the way, Chan!” |
| Chan | “Hah! Yah!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Yun | “Taah!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Chilong | “You won’t change the outcome no matter how many times you try.” |
| Chan | “Pant, pant... Dammit... We’re supposed to have mastered the Tai Chi Lamian Fist....” |
| Yun | “Shit, what’s going on.” |
| Chilong | “Do you get it now? You’ll never stand a chance against me. If you’re going to curse someone, curse your own weakness.” |
| Chan | “Dammit... What can we do....” |
| Yun | “Our Lamian training was useless.” |
| Chan | “Lamian Fist comes from making lamian day after day.... That’s right! Let’s go, Yun!” |
| Yun | “!?” |
| Chan | “Taah!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Yun | “Hah!” |
| *Whoosh* |
| Izumi | (Chan and Yun attack Chilong with their lamian-cooking combination....) |
| (This is the climax, the peak of the action, but—amazing. They don’t look tired at all; in fact, they’re on a roll.) |
| *Thwack* |
| Chilong | “—kuh.” |
| Chan | “...We did it!” |
| Yun | “Chan, let’s finish him off!” |
| Chan | “Take this—soulful strainer!” |
| Yun | “The soup of life!” |
| *Thwack* *Thwack* |
| Chan | “One order coming right up!” |
| Yun | “Thanks for waiting; here’s your lamian.” |
| Chilong | “Gah....” |
| Chan | “We beat him...! We beat Chilong!” |
| Chilong | “Kuh.... I obtained a hundred secret techniques, and yet I lost to kids like you....?” |
| Yun | “Hey, where’s the scroll for the Tai Chi Manju Fist.” |
| Chilong | “Tai Chi... Manju Fist?” |
| Chan | “That’s right! The scroll you stole from our dojo five years ago!” |
| Chilong | “Oh, that piece of crap... It should be around there somewhere. Feel free to take it.” |
| |
| Chan | “Master! We got the scroll back!” |
| Yun | “Now I get to be the sage too, right?” |
| Sage | “Well done, both of you. Open the scroll. You are already qualified.” |
| Chan | “Now that we have this, can we obtain the Tai Chi Manju Fist...?" |
| Yun | “What’s this...?” |
| Chan | “Round the dough, and steam the manju....” |
| Yun | “Wait, this is a recipe for manju!” |
| Chan | “Chilong tricked us! Dammit, that guy...!” |
| Sage | “No, this is definitely the secret technique scroll.” |
| Chan | “Eeh!? So the Tai Chi Manju Fist is....” |
| Yun | “What’s going on, master?” |
| Sage | “You have already mastered the ultimate secret technique.” |
| “Your secret technique is the power of your friendship. A coordinated attack that can defeat even Chilong.” |
| Chan | “Friendship...?” |
| Yun | “Coordinated attack...?” |
| Chan | “Wait, master, what about the actual technique—!” |
| Yun | “Oi, you tricked us—!” |
| Chan | “—Mgh.” |
| Yun | “—Mgagh.” |
| Sage | “This is the flavor of the Tai Chi Manju. Isn’t it delicious? It’s the ultimate manju I created.” |
| Chan | “...What the hell!!!” |
| Yun | “...Shithead sage.” |
| Chan | “It is tasty, but....” |
| |
| *Applause* |
| |
| Audience A | I laughed! |
| Audience B | The tone was a little different from the usual Autumn Troupe, but it was fun! |
| Audience C | Oh man, the kung-fu action was on fire! |
| |
| Taichi | ——. |
| Azami | Come on, it’s the curtain call. |
| Sakyo | No time to be spacing out. |
| Taichi | Y-yeah! Let’s go, guys! |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| |
| *Applause* |
| Taichi | Thank you very much! |
| Banri | Thanks. |
| Omi | Thank you. |
| |
| Tenma | We’re coming in. |
| Yuki | Nice work~. |
| Muku | Nice work, everyone. |
| Kazunari | Nice work! It was really entertaining~! |
| Misumi | It was a lot of fun~. |
| Kumon | It was awesome! |
| Taichi | Ah, Ten-chan, what did you think? |
| Tenma | ...Guess it was fine for the first day. |
| Taichi | Eeh!? |
| Yuki | Stop lying. You were laughing so hard. |
| Tenma | Don’t expose me! |
| ...Honestly, watching the audience made me frustrated. Because comedy is Summer Troupe’s specialty. |
| Your comic acting and the usual Autumn Troupe action scenes were a good fit; it made for a different kind of comedy play than Summer Troupe’s. |
| Taichi | It’s because you and Summer Troupe helped us out, Ten-chan! |
| Tenma | I recognized you as a rival all over again today. |
| Let me tell you this: I won’t recklessly lend a hand to my enemy. I won’t help you out so easily from now on, and I definitely won’t lose to you. |
| Taichi | Yeah. Me too. |
| Yuki | ...Ugh, you two are getting so heated. How annoying. |
| Taichi | Ah, Yuki-chan. What did you think? |
| Yuki | ...You might’ve looked bigger than usual today. |
| Taichi | Yuki-chan...! |
| Yuki | But you lost your comedic tempo during a couple action scenes. Also, you said you’d do lots of ad libs, but there weren’t that many. |
| Taichi | ——. |
| Azami | He’s really got a poison-tongue.... |
| Omi | He hit your weak points. |
| Yuki | ...Well, you’ll be even better by the final performance, right? |
| Taichi | .... |
| Azami | Hey, Taichi-san, don’t worry about it too much—. |
| Taichi | Ahaha! |
| Azami | Taichi-san? |
| Taichi | You’re right, I still have a long way to go! I need work harder and harder! |
| Just because I’m the main lead doesn’t mean that this is the end. I can’t stop here just because my dream has come true. |
| I need to aim higher and higher. With everyone here—. |
| Yuki-chan, thank you. |
| Yuki | ...Yeah, you’re a weird stupid doggie. |
| Tenma | Why does his poison-tongue make him so happy? |
| Kumon | Who knows??? |
| Taichi | I’m gonna become a waaaay bigger man by the time the final performance comes round! I’ll become greater than Ten-chan and Ban-chan! |
| Banri | Ooh, don’t get too cocky. |
| Tenma | Why don’t you give it your best shot. |
| Izumi | That’s the spirit, Taichi-kun! |
| Taichi | Let’s all aim higher and higher as we run through to the final performance! |
| Juza | Yeah. |
| Sakyo | We’re counting on you, leader. |
| Omi | We’ll follow you. |
