Chapter 106: Flat White Thing = Hanpen
"The limited barrels are gone."
Top Chat: Is this oil or something?
Top Chat: So that means… me, with all the barrels, was actually an oil tycoon…?
Top Chat: Flimsy logic lol… wait, why do you even have so many barrels?
Top Chat: What’s your move, Elf-san?
"Hmm."
I took another look at the stage. It was divided into four main areas. The lift area with white moving platforms. The safe area I was standing in, where the barrel stash was. The black floating islands that spewed fire from time to time. And finally, the slope area where all sorts of obstacles came rolling down.
"The motif is… hanpen."
Top Chat: Wrong lol
Top Chat: He judged it just from the white lifts, this elf lol
Top Chat: That’s actually a cutting board
Top Chat: It’s said the motif is the kitchen or cooking in general
"I see. So the barrel stash is the seasoning, the flaming frying pan, and the rolling ingredients."
Top Chat: Ingredients that roll, huh…?
Top Chat: Plates did roll down, yeah
Top Chat: That’s just Kyoka-chan helping out lol
"If I fuel the frying pan’s fire with a barrel, could I launch myself high?"
Top Chat: He’s coming up with weird stuff again
Top Chat: Adding fuel to the fire
Top Chat: Disclaimer: barrels are not petroleum
Top Chat: Even if that mechanic existed, you’re out of barrels anyway
"Right."
Top Chat: Can’t you throw the frying pans that are on fire?
Top Chat: Pans can’t be grabbed
Top Chat: They’re heated, after all
Top Chat: Even though they have handles, huh
Top Chat: Then what about the rolling ingredients?
"You can’t make a comeback right before the goal."
The slope wasn’t long enough to pass twenty people from the very back.
Top Chat: Anything Elf-san can grab onto?
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan’s stomach
Top Chat: No way, she won’t let go of that
Top Chat: lol
Top Chat: Then maybe… people?
Top Chat: Nah, that won’t work
"Why wouldn’t it?"
Top Chat: Elf-san didn’t resist when he was thrown, but if someone picks you up, you can fight back
Top Chat: Just keep pressing the direction opposite of where you’re being carried to escape
Top Chat: So throwing people is tricky
Top Chat: Makes sense—if you couldn’t escape, those crowd-waiting gimmicks wouldn’t work
"Alright."
Top Chat: Oh?
Top Chat: Did he find something to grab?
Top Chat: He’s moving toward the people waiting at the frying pans
Top Chat: Ah…
"People."
Top Chat: Oh nooo
Top Chat: Everyone just fell
Top Chat: …Wait, what did he just do?
Top Chat: There wasn’t even a throw animation, right?
Top Chat: Looked like he grabbed someone, lifted them, and then the grabbed guy bolted forward and dragged everyone else down with him
Top Chat: He let go! He released them the instant they started struggling!
Top Chat: Wait, so that wasn’t an accident?
"It works."
Top Chat: Doesn’t seem like luck
Top Chat: Uh-oh, this might be busted
Top Chat: And before we can even react, round two of it hits!
Top Chat: Yeah, no way this is coincidence!
Top Chat: Holy crap!
Top Chat: Run, everybody run!
Top Chat: The moment he catches you, you’ll turn into a homing missile that takes down everyone else with you!
Top Chat: This race has turned into tag!
"Victory."
Top Chat: Yikes, carnage everywhere
Top Chat: Elf dropped everyone into the abyss like it was safer to just wipe the board clean
Top Chat: Even lions would be shocked
Top Chat: Keep it to your own kids at least lol
"I figured Elf would make it through even without barrels, but this was flashier than I imagined."
"Yeah. I’m not losing even to a duo."
"True. You probably wouldn’t lose to a duo."
"Muh?"
"Huh?"
Top Chat: Kirishi-tan’s fearless grin!
Top Chat: Kyoka-chan, completely lost!
Top Chat: What fate awaits Elf-san!?
In the next match, all nineteen other players targeted me—and I sank instantly.
