KING OF ICHU 3 Event Story/Chapter 4

Runa:	So far, each team has one win and one loss in this game of “Look over there”. The next match will determine the outcome!
Kanata:	It seems like more tension than before has gathered…! It makes you want to cheer for both Takamichi-kun and Baberun.
Kuro:	We’re counting on you, Takamichi Sanzenin!
Saku:	Baber, good luck!
Takamichi:	Fuu… Are you ready, Baber? Let’s make this a serious match.
Baber:	Yup. A man-to-man battle.
Baber & Takamichi:	Rock, paper, scissors!
Baber:	Takamichi-kun, are you ready? Look over… there!
Takamichi:	!
	*Looks*
Takamichi:	...Oh no!
Takamichi:	(Damn it…! I looked at the place Baber pointed without thinking!)
Baber:	Victory! Ehe.
Futami:	Pffft! As expected of Takamichi! Betrayed at the most important of moments! Baber-kun’s victory was decided in one shot!
Takamichi:	T-To think I could lose this easily…
Kuro:	Don’t let it get to you, Takamichi Sanzenin… I’m sure you’re embarrassed right now, but…
Seiya:	That’s right! It was a cool defeat!
Takamichi:	You two aren’t following what’s happening at all!
Runa:	With that said… The winners of “Look that way” are the Black Team!
Kokoro:	Yay!
Runa:	Well then, the next one is the last. The score right now is 1 victory for the White Team, and 2 victories for the Black Team.
Kuro:	I can’t forgive them for having the lead… We absolutely can’t lose the next one.
Runa:	For the fourth round, we have prepared something that is without a shadow of doubt exciting. Everyone, please do your best.
Kuro:	Exciting… In what sense?
Runa:	The last one is… “Cavalry battle”, in which 2 people will act as the horse, and one will become the jockey!
Kokoro:	By cavalry battle, you mean the cavalry battle from sports day!?
Runa:	Yes. However, trying to steal a hachimaki is dangerous, so we rearranged the rules.
Runa:	Momo, Issei-san. Please give us a simple demonstration.
Momosuke:	Okaaay! In reality, 2 people become the horse, but because there’s only 2 of us, it will be shown in a shoulder ride~
Kanata:	Woah! Momo-chan gets to ride on Issei-san’s shoulders! How nice.
Momosuke:	It’s high, and I can see far~
Issei:	Oi, don’t move so much. It’s dangerous! Momosuke, hurry and explain.
Momosuke:	Okay. Right now, Momo is wearing a helmet with a paper balloon that the jockeys will be wearing~
Momosuke:	The one who will smash the opponent’s balloon while protecting their own is the winner, right?
Issei:	Yeah. In cavalry battles, you have to fight hard while protecting the jockey.
Runa:	Thank you very much. It seems like a flashy match, appropriate for the end.
Kuro:	It also seems pretty aggressive…
Akira:	Won’t you change into your jerseys for this? Also, put on the protectors to make sure there’s no injuries.
The I-chu:	Alright!
	******
Kokoro:	We’ve changed clothes!
Seiya:	Yeah! This is somehow exciting…!
Kokoro:	The key to victory for cavalry battles is teamwork. Don’t you think is is good practice for getting in sync with each other?
Kuro:	(If the me from before was here, he’d think that cooperating with others is stupid. But the me now--)
Seiya:	I see! If it’s teamwork, there’s no way we’ll lose!
Kuro:	That’s right…
Kuro:	(Right now, I think I want to try joining forces with them…! I’ve changed a lot…)
Kuro:	(But, it’s not a bad change)
Kokoro:	Too bad, you can’t beat us who have been practicing together for so long!
Saku:	Hanabusa-san, please repeat what you just said!
Kokoro:	You’re being kind of noisy!
Kuro:	Hey, wait. Doesn’t cavalry battle need three people? Doesn’t Black Team only have two members?
Kanata:	The helper was decided through lottery! The next helper is Futamin!
Saku:	Geh! That’s the worst!
Futami:	That should be my line, though~!
Saku:	Why is it Akabane-kun of all people!? There’s surely others!
Futami:	I don’t want to make a horse by holding hands with Saku-chan either!!!
Kokoro:	God! Can’t you at least get along at a time like this!? You don’t want to trouble the show’s staff.
Futami & Saku:	But…!
Kokoro:	If you trouble the staff, then the Producer will also be troubled! Is that okay with you!?
Futami:	Uuu… I’d hate that.
Saku:	Haah… Since it can’t be helped, let’s call a ceasefire for now.
Futami:	Right.
Kokoro:	You two. Make sure to act properly as Kokoro’s horse~!
Futami & Saku:	As you wish~!!!
Kanata:	Sakkun and Futamin are completely in sync! Looks like they’re going to exceed expectations!
Seiya:	Our rider is Kuro!
Takamichi:	Listen up. We’ll proceed while talking this over.
Kuro:	(While believing in Seiya Aido and Takamichi Sanzenin, I’ll only watch what’s ahead of me! That’s… What I can do for the two of them…!)
Kuro:	I got it. Our goal is only one, victory! Am I clear!
Seiya & Takamichi:	Leave it to us!
Kuro:	(If it’s us, we can definitely win!)
Runa:	Fufu. Everyone is fired up. Then, let’s start. ...And, start!
Kanata:	It’s finally starting! I look forward to seeing what kind of battle will unfold!
Saku:	Agh! I don’t like holding Akabane-kun’s hands!
Futami:	I don’t want to run while looking at Saku-chan’s back~!
Saku:	In order to finish quickly--
Futami:	And to win!
Kokoro:	That’s right. Let’s go, you two!
Futami & Saku:	Okay!
Kuro:	I’ll leave this to you!
Seiya:	Alright! Let’s go like this!
Takamichi:	Seiya, run as you like. I’ll definitely follow!
Kanata:	Both teams are running straight towards each other!
Akira:	It’s become a face to face battle.
Baber:	What amazing force…!
Kokoro:	This is my win!
Kuro:	It’s my win!
	*Pang, pang!!!*
Kanata:	The paper balloons were crushed at the same time!
Runa:	Which one was smashed earlier…?
Kuro:	Who won just now....!?
Kokoro:	As expected of Kuro, way to go…!
Akira:	This is… Hard to determine. The way I saw it it was as though they were crushed at the same time--
Baber:	Jajaaan! Since we don’t know, we’ll let the video decide.
Runa:	The match’s result will be entrusted to the video. Which team won!?
Kuro:	(This is what will determine the game’s outcome. Please, let us win…!)
