Track 6
D-BATTLE Arena
Hurry up, we’re gonna miss it! The showdown between Kurama and Nanamegi is about to start!
I skipped cram school for this!
I don’t care that much about D-BATTLE, but I can’t miss seeing Nanamegi-kun!
He doesn’t talk much, so this is a super rare chance~♪
Hahaha! But I wonder how he will fare against Diss Emperor K!
Elsewhere
There are a lot more people than usual. You really live up to your name as a fanbait panda.
…
‘Kay ‘kay, I’mma redeem myself from last time as Nanaki’s cornerman, so Kiroku, you go be Ushio’s!
Huh? But I was, just planning… to watch…
It’s not like I need help either…
Oh well, whatever. At least when you lose, you won’t come crying about unfair advantages or anything like this.
…
Hello? Are you even alive? What? Are you giving me the silent treatment?
…No. I just don’t feel like making small talk with you.
Wow, how mature.
D-BATTLE Arena – Main Stage
“Now folks, you don’t want to miss today’s special match. This is a battle that will surely go down in history—”
“In the red corner we have the one and only, Diss Emperor K, Ushio Kurama-kun, opening!”
*Cheering*
“And in the blue corner is our promising rising star, Nanaki Nanamegi-kun!”
*Cheering*
[Please choose a mode.]
Free Battle, BO1.
Accept.
“Everyone, are you readyyyyyy?”
[Speak your truth. D-Speaker on stand-by.]
“Here’s to a clean fight, get ready to throw, say—”
D-BATTLE, READYYYYY GOOOO!!!
*Ding ding ding*
[Red corner, open.]
“Alright, well to start…”
“Did my last win scare you into picking Free Battle?”
“I get playing it safe as a noob, but it looks to me like you tunnel-visioned from getting cold feet.”
“Aaaand Kurama-kun starts off strong with a jab at Nanamegi-kun’s mode selection. Does this mean the battle began before even starting!?”
…Saw that one coming.
“But what’s this? Nanamegi-kun is unfazed! He takes no damage!”
HUUH!? He completely avoided the first attack…!?
Hmm, so you aren’t just all talk.
[Blue corner, respond.]
“That’s rich coming from you. You literally wrote a whole challenge letter and even took the opening turn, so who's the one getting cold feet, huh?”
“Imagine being so full of yourself only to end up looking like a clown in front of the whole school, like thanks for giving us a free show on what tunnel-vision really is.”
…!
*Ushio took a hit*
[Red corner D-LIFE: 99.8% remaining.]
“In a completely unexpected turn of events, Nanamegi-kun has drawn first blood!”
*Cheering*
Wow…!
“Hmph. Well it would’ve been a waste of a challenge letter if you couldn’t manage to at least retaliate.”
Ayyyy, let’s go Nanaki! All that training came in clutch!
Huh… Training?
Uh, oh…
“Wow, did you actually train for a meaningless little game like this? What a tryhard. Don’t you have more important things to do with your life?”
…!
*Nanaki took a hit*
Sh-Shooot!!!! NANAKI, I’M SORRY!!
Haha, your cornerman is so helpful.
It’s all good, Akuta.
“Everyone took the time out of their day for this moment, so of course I came prepared. It’s called basic respect, maybe you should give it a try.”
“Or what? Do you think showing everyone you can’t be bothered is something to be proud of? Like is that supposed to be a flex?”
“Well, keep it up, ‘cause you’re just speedrunning for the biggest L of your life.”
Gh…
*Ushio took small damage*
Ooooooooh, what a comeback!!
Take that, Oden Class Combo Attack! Not bad, right?
Cringe.
“Oh yeah?”
“So where was that respect when I took time outta my day to help some shameless lover boy who flaked halfway bake like he was allergic to commitment?”
*Nanaki took small damage*
“Wow, throwing something I already apologized for back in my face? That’s honestly so immature. I bet people must be sick of calling you out on your behavior.”
*Ushio took small damage*
“What? You think one sorry will magically smooth everything over? Maybe trying getting a reality check.”
*Nanaki took small damage*
“Still way better than someone who calls everyone a walking biohazard the second they step into the kitchen.”
*Ushio took small damage*
“Says the weirdo that wrapped the router in stupid tin foil.”
*Nanaki took small damage*
“That’s rich coming from the guy screaming ‘ugyah!’, ‘bmyah!’, ‘mgyuk!’, and ‘pyoh!’ like a real weirdo, like what even is that vocabulary?”
*Ushio took small damage*
“And you actually took the time to keep receipts? Wow, I wish I could be that petty.”
*Nanaki took small damage*
*Cheering*
Sheeeesh! They’re locked in!! My neck’s gonna snap just watching them go back and forth!
Neither of them… are backing down…
“What a heated exchange! The words are flying out endlessly from both sides! Even I’m getting fired up just watching!”
I’m… getting really psyched up…!
This is so exciting…!
This is it…! This is the enlightenment I've been searching for, the “Ultimate D-Zone”…!!
*Cheering*
Arrrgh, damn it…!
You seriously have a comeback for everything…!
Ha…
Hahaha…!
(What is this feeling?)
(This is it! I…!)
I could do this with him forever…!!
*Whistle*
Stop right there!!
!!
D-BATTLE Arena
No one move!
*sigh* I can’t believe this…!
Hand over your IDs immediately! That’s detention for all of you!
This is bad…! Everyone, log out!
*Ding ding ding*
Uh-oh! Is that the fuzz!?
Tch, the D-BATTLE antis.
Even the vice principal’s here…!
We gotta buy you guys time to log out! I’ll handle the rear!
I’ll help, too… Nanamegi, and Kurama… log out, now…!
What!?
But…!
I believe that’s best. The BATTLERS will get the worst of it if they’re caught. Hurry, go!
Even the club president…!
Gh…!
*Nanaki and Ushio log out*
HAMA House – Snake Room
*gasp*!
Did Kiroku and Akuta make it…!?
…
Shit, they’re still in mahorova…!
Are you guys okay!?
I’m fine, but those two are—
Dun dun duuuuuuun~~~!! BEHOLD, Akuta Isotake’s heroic return!
*huff, huff*…!
I’m so glad you guys came back…!
Did they get your IDs!?
Nope! And Club Prez Setsumei’s safe too!
Mr. Karigane… was there, and he helped us, escape…
Huh…? Mr. Saku-chan did?
Maybe it’s to protect HAMA Tours’ image or something?
I guess. We are previous offenders.
…Who knows.
Flashback
If you wish to obtain words that can truly land a winning blow, you must first understand your opponent well enough to generate a complete version of who they are within yourself.
Do that, and you shall fear no battle.
HAMA House – Snake Room
(He didn’t say anything when I was D-Practicing either… If anything, he was supportive.)
Well whatever. More importantly, who won!?
Now that, you mentioned, it…
We gotta check the battle log to find out! Erm, let’s see…
THAT’S WAY TOO SPECIFIC!!
(They’re in perfect sync…)
These numbers are rigged! How is it even possible that we have the same decimals!? Like, that’s lowkey offensive!!
That’s MY line!!
Excuse me!?
Did I stutter!?
…Pfft.
!
…Heh… Hehe…
You guys are hilarious! WAHAHAHAHA!
Hehe… Ahaha…!
…
…Honestly, what are we even doing?
…What a bunch of idiots.
