Akira: (dramatic) Damn it… my wrist hurts. It’s probably because I practiced too much yesterday. The real match is after this. If I go on like this, it’ll be bad. (dramatic exit)
Alan: (immediate tsukkomi) What the hell did Akira say so suddenly? Wasn’t he dancing even just now during the opening?
Mizue: (shook by unhinged Akira)
Alan: (forcefully bringing things back to normal) But Akira loves gaming, so I believe he’ll channel all his passion into these matches.
Miura(plays: Higekiri opposite Akira’s Hizamaru in Touken Ranbu) and Akira have a ‘phone call’ on stage. As the ‘senior’ role, Miura gives Akira encouragement and ‘sends’ him a special item which would help him win the games.
Special item reveal: wrist bandage [Stage sound effect]
Alan: (entering tsukkomi mode) Don’t play the ‘don!’ sound effect here.
Akira: (entering into chuunibyou mode again) Not bad.
Mizue: (second hand embarrassment, curling and cringing, still elegant af)
Alan: That ‘call’ was live from Fukuoka? The whole conversation was a bit off; I wonder if it’s the fault of an unstable line, or Akira’s fault.
MC: (laughing) Please don’t investigate this any longer.
Mizue: (still recovering)
Alan: For the wrist band to arrive only now though, would it be too late for the team?
Akira: (dramatically caressing wrist band)
Mizue: (recovered) Well, it was a good scene. But at the start Akira’s reactions to Miura were kind of stilted; like “ah I see”.
Alan: (agreeing)
Akira: (sweetly) Oi, I can hear you.
Alan: (cutely) Yes?
