Nene

Listen

Whoa, this place is packed...
2

Emu

Listen

Was it because Toya was so amazing at Puyo Puyo? There's so many people here now☆
3

Emu

Listen

The manager's probably really happy too, and we should do our best to make the last round an exciting one!
4

Nene

Listen

R-Right...
5

Nene

Listen

(I can't help but feel nervous knowing that all these people are watching... But if we're playing the game that I think we're gonna play for the last round, it'll be in my best genre...!)
6

Manager

Okay, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! And it looks like we have a great crowd here now! We will now be unveiling the game that will be played during the final round! You will be playing...
7

Manager

“Field Battle”!
The next-gen first-person survival game that's become a massive hit!
8

Nene

Listen

Field Battle...!
9

Emu

Listen

Oh, Nene, does that mean you've played it before?!
10

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I really like it and I've been playing it a lot recently.
11

Nene

Listen

You form teams of two and battle for survival in this big, open wasteland. You're free to work with others or stab them in the back, and up to fifty teams can play.
12

Emu

Listen

Fifty teams?!
You can have that many people playing all at once?!
13

Nene

Listen

I suspect we'll be playing on a smaller field to match the size of this tournament, but I'm liking our chances since we get to play Field Battle.
14

Nene

Listen

(Although, right now, that game...)
15

Emu

Listen

Whoa!
You really think we'll be able to zoom into the lead?!
16

Emu

Listen

Also, Nene!
I've never played this game before, so can you teach me what you know?!
17

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I'll teach you what I can since this game's all about having good teamwork.
18

Nene

Listen

However, you can get double the points for surviving until the end... That might give the other teams that were out of the running enough motivation to really fight...
19

Nene

Listen

So, finding a place to hide is gonna take priority. Also, make sure to crouch when you see an opponent to make sure they don't see you.
20

Emu

Listen

Roger!
Private Emu's ready and willing to follow the great Captain Nene wherever she goes!
21

Nene

Listen

Okay, okay. You don't have to call me “Captain” or anything.
22

Nene

Listen

(This is probably gonna be a tougher battle than I initially imagined, but I have experience on my side. We'll be fine as long as we stay calm and...)
23

Toya

Listen

Oh, we're playing Field Battle next...
24

Akito

Listen

You're not too great at these kinds of games, right, Toya? That means avoiding fights might be the best way for us to survive.
25

Toya

Listen

I agree.
I can't say much about our chances, but we'll just have to do our best.
26

Manager

This game seems like the perfect way to cap off our tournament and determine the winner. So, it's time for this fight for survival to...
27

Manager

Begin!!

28

Nene

Listen

First, we need to find ourselves some weapons...
29

Emu

Listen

Oh, Nene!
I found a mushroom!
30

Nene

Listen

Huh? Emu, don't pick that up.
You don't wanna know what happens if you do...
31

Emu

Listen

Oh, really?
32

Nene

Listen

Yes, really... Oh, I found a gun.
Here, try picking it up and equipping it.
33

Nene

Listen

Once you do, you should be able to defend yourself. If you see any enemies, shoot.
34

Emu

Listen

Got it! Wow, this is so cool! It's so big!
35

Nene

Listen

Also, we'll probably come across a few more weapons, so it'll be good to try some out and see which suits you best.
36

Emu

Listen

Copy that!
I'll stick with this for now!
37

Nene

Listen

(I'm not hearing anyone else making footsteps... As far as I can tell, we're the only ones that spawned in this area.)
38

Nene

Listen

(We should start by taking a quick look around and finding some ammo, health packs and whatever else we need before hunting down our opponents.)
39

Akito

Listen

Toya, I've equipped my gun.
How are you doing?
40

Toya

Listen

I'm set as well.
I even found some health packs and painkillers. We should be more than prepared for battle now...
41

Toya

Listen

Huh...?!
Akito, behind you!
42

Akito

Listen

Geez, already?!
But...!

Toya

Nice one, Akito...
You landed a headshot.
45

Akito

Listen

Yeah, I guess these kinds of games suit me more than Puyo Puyo.
46

Akito

Listen

I think that was one of the guys from Muscles Are Everything...
47

Toya

Listen

Yes, and if we find and deal with the other, their team will be eliminated.
48

Akito

Listen

Right. One being here has to mean that the other is somewhere close by. We need to find them before they run away.
49

Toya

Listen

Understood.
I'll cover your back, but please move carefully.
50

Nene

Listen

(Okay, we've picked up pretty much everything this area has to offer. Now, we need to get ready for a firefight and...)

But this also might be our chance.

Yeah...
You're safe now. I took care of that guy.

Emu

That's amazing!!
I'm gonna follow you forever and ever, Captain Nene!
68

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Oh, you.
Anyway, you need to reload while you can.
69

Nene

Listen

Also, Emu, please don't fire unnecessarily like that again. You're only gonna put yourself in harm's way.
70

Emu

Listen

Oh, I'm so sorry! I promise to be more careful!
71

Nene

Listen

Okay, as long as you understand.
72

Nene

Listen

Still, it looked like that team split up to ambush the other ones. Fortunately for us, their plan fell apart.
73

Nene

Listen

Oh...
Looks like someone just took down the other person. I guess Muscles Are Everything are out of the game now.
74

Nene

Listen

That just leaves...
75

Emu

Listen

Us, Toya's team and...
Oh, We're The Best!
76

Nene

Listen

Okay...
There's no need to pull any punches from here on out.
77

Nene

Listen

The real battle's about to begin, Emu, so get ready to fight.
78

Emu

Listen

Roger!
79

We're The Best A

So those two teams are still alive...
If we win here we should be able to claim victory for the tournament since we're technically in second right now.
80

We're The Best B

Yeah.
And lucky for us, they chose this game for the last round. If we do “the thing”...

Found you!

Whoa...!
Nice shot, Toya!
97

Nene

Listen

You helped us?
But we're supposed to be fighting against each other.
98

Toya

Listen

Yes, but I didn't feel good about seeing somebody I know get shot.
99

Akito

Listen

You're saying that now?
We're supposed to find a way to survive here.
100

Toya

Listen

Yes, I know...
But this game just might not be for me...
101

Nene

Listen

I think you're a little too nice, but... Thank you.

We're The Best B

Grr...!
They're pretty good, so you need to be careful!
103

We're The Best A

Yeah, if only I had that one item! Then I could end this thing in a flash!
104

We're The Best B

Still, it's been a while since we've had to play so hard...
105

We're The Best B

I think I've gotten worse...
We used to play every single day with the others too.
106

We're The Best A

Haha. Yeah.
It's been so long since we've gotten a chance to play some video games like this. Now I just need to avenge you and...
107

We're The Best A

Wait, no! What are we saying?!
We're not here to have fun! We're here to win by any means necessary!

Toya

What's this...?
He's using a mushroom?
110

Nene

Listen

(Oh no!! What if they're...?!)
111

Nene

Listen

Everyone, run!
112

Akito

Listen

Huh? What's so scary about a mushroom? I saw a ton growing on the side of the road... What possible use can they have?
113

Nene

Listen

Normally, they're completely useless. The developers put them in because they felt like it.
114

Nene

Listen

However, in this case...
115

Emu

Listen

H-Huh?! Why?!
It says that I'm dead even though I haven't been hit!
116

Akito

Listen

Wait, me too...!
What's going on here?
117

Nene

Listen

Emu and Shinonome didn't make it...
118

Nene

Listen

It's an exploit that involved using those mushrooms. Combined with a certain set of actions, it causes players in close proximity to be deemed ineligible to keep playing.
119

Nene

Listen

The bug causing it was discovered just recently and they've announced that it's now a banned practice while they work on a patch for it.
120

Emu

Listen

An exploding bug...?
121

Nene

Listen

An exploit involving a bug.
122

Toya

Listen

So, players are banned from using this exploit during a game?
123

Akito

Listen

They really plan on winning by whatever means necessary.
124

We're The Best A

Uh oh...
I'm not sure what happened, but seems like some players collapsed after I used this mushroom.
125

Nene

Listen

Even though you clearly did it on purpose...
126

Toya

Listen

I can't let this one go.
Kusanagi, I have a plan...
127

Nene

Listen

I think I already know...
128

Nene

Listen

For now, let's work together!

We're The Best A

The Puyo Puyo master's one thing, but that girl's gonna be a pain to deal with... She definitely knew about that exploit...

Toya

Listen

Good try, Kusanagi.
A few millimeters to the side and you would've gotten a headshot.
132

Nene

Listen

That was nothing.
More importantly, we need to take this opportunity to pincer that guy.
133

Toya

Listen

Right. However, I still don't feel that great about shooting someone...
134

Toya

Listen

I know...

Me neither.
I'm here to win, so I'm going all out.
