Ensemble Stars || Card Battler P6

[riayain]

the after-school duel part 6

 

 

Tetora: Alright, I got the card I wanted!
 

Tetora: I use “Increase Strength” to double the attack of “Wandering Fierce God*” and attack!

 

*T/N: I’ve noticed this with the other card names, but they all seem to be linked to either the characters themselves or those around them. For example, “Wandering Fierce God” reminds me of Kiryuu. And earlier, Kouga had both a card to represent himself (wolf) and Rei (vampire). Even Tsukasa had a card that represented himself (duel). Just an interesting fact!

 

Tetora: D-Does this work?
 

Kouga: Too bad! That won’t work on me at all~!
 

Tetora: I’ll switch the target of “Wandering Fierce God” using “Bewitching Full Moon” so that it attacks you instead ♪ 
 

Tetora: Aaahhh~, that’s bad! Wait, wait!
 

Kouga: Hah, there’s no such thing as “wait” in a card battle~!
 

Kouga: Hey, isn’t Red Streak’s life points now zero~?
 

Tomoya: Uh~m...... aah, looks like it, exactly down to zero.
 

Tetora: That’s Tetora’s loss~ ♪
 

Tetora: Aaahh seriously, how frustrating! Once again, the beginning went well, but before I knew it, the tables turned huh~?
 

Kouga: Idiot~, your strategy has only one pattern.
 

Kouga: I have a ton of countermeasure cards in my deck, so unless my luck’s ridiculously bad, there’s no way I can lose~ ♪
 

Tetora: Uurgh. I can’t really do stuff like complex strategies*, so I put many simple, strong monsters with no special abilities in my deck.

 

T/N: Actual translation is “troublesome strategies” but I’m pretty sure he means complex. He likes things simple.

 

Kouga: So, you mean ya just focus on attacking~?
 

Kouga: That ain’t bad~, but that’s a muscle deck.
 

Kouga: For advanced players like me, you’re prime prey. Brawn’s good and all, but use your head too.
 

Tetora: Urgh~, as long as you have muscles, you’re invincible! That’s what I decided, but......!
 

Tomoya: Ahaha. Oogami-senpai, you really aren’t just all talk...... 
 

Tomoya: Tetora and I got pretty into “Idobato” and even played with the others in our class to build up experience. But we’re still no match for you.
 

Tomoya: I guess I really shouldn’t form a deck just based on the card art, but instead think more about strategy huh~?
 

Kouga: Ahhhh, I heard it was becoming popular? Hinata...... I heard about it from the elder twin brother, he’s part of the Light Music Club.
 

Kouga: He asked me to teach him the rules because he wanted to play it with everyone.
 

Kouga: He’s a weirdo, but is he gettin’ along with everyone in his class?
 

Tetora: Ahhh, Hinata-kun’s friendly to everyone and he’s funny, so he’s quite popular.
 

Tetora: Though it doesn’t look like he has any especially close friends, so it seems kind of superficial.
 

Tomoya: It looks like Hinata has more friends in Suou’s class...... Class B.
 

Tomoya: He’s always hanging out there during lunch break, maybe because his younger brother’s there.
 

Kouga: Hm~m...... Ah, I just remembered after hearing “Suou”, but that guy really isn’t showing up~? The agreed time passed a long time ago ya know?
 

Kouga: That bastard, are you sure he didn’t run off like a scaredy cat......?
 

Tomoya: Ahaha. We must have lost track of time while we were competing to help you warm up~.
 

Tomoya: The tea and baked biscuits that Anzu-senpai had prepared have already gone cold too.
 

Tomoya: Hm? Anzu-senpai, you’re going to reheat the treats? There’s really no need~ ♪
 

Tetora: Rather, Anzu-san...... could you call Suou-kun instead?
 

Tetora: He’s super late, I tried calling him on my smartphone but there was no reply.
 

Tetora: Anzu-san’s a “producer”...... so you probably know his home contact details.
 

Tetora: He might have totally forgot about the promise and gone home, so maybe he’d pick up if we called there?
 

Kouga: Mmmm~. No response, that’s a bit worrying......
 

Kouga: He seemed really excited and doesn’t look like the type of guy to forget a promise.
 

Kouga: Maybe he got into some type of accident~. Horrible if that were the case, it definitely wouldn’t be a time for card games.
 

Kouga: Hmph...... that guy’s part of “Knights”, right. I’m in the same class with some of their members, so I’ll call to see if they know anything.
 

Kouga: Lemme see. Ricchi~ won’t give me his phone number~, so I guess I’ll call that okama* bastard......?

 

T/N: “Okama” is a guy who acts like a girl. Some dress like a girl. Some are gay. Some are transgender. But not all dress like girls or are gay. Or actually identify as female.

 

Tsukasa: Everyone! I sincerely apologize for arriving late!
 

Kouga: Woah?! Aahh you startled me, everyone should stop silently approaching me from the back~!
 

Kouga: You bastard, you sure are late huh~? Ya sure think highly of yourself, making your elders wait~......
 

Kouga: Wait, huh? What’s wrong, are ya crying~?
 

Kouga: Hey, hey, did ya seriously get into an accident and hurt yourself or somethin’?!
 

Tsukasa: No...... I-It’s o- hic! I’m not injured, sniffle~!
 

Kouga: Then, then why are ya cryin’?! What’s goin’ on damn it, men shouldn’t show their tears so easily~!
 

Tsukasa: S-Sowry. Um, please don’t shake my shoulders.
 

Tsukasa: Sniffle, uuuuuuu~......? I’m okay, Tsukasa’s fine!
 

Kouga: Y-Y-Ya don’t look fine so I’m worried ya know~! Seriously, what happened, if you cry I won’t know~?!
