Chapter 115: Do You Like Huge Man-Made Objects?
"Huge."
Midway through the course, an enormous waterwheel—easily a hundred times bigger than a player—creaked slowly as it turned, roaring with sound.
Top Chat: That really is huge
Top Chat: Who thinks of shoving a whole waterwheel into a waterfall?
Top Chat: Love these giant man-made contraptions that ignore physics
Top Chat: Giant battleships
Top Chat: Oh, I love those
Top Chat: Giant robots
Top Chat: Love them too
Top Chat: Elf-san
Top Chat: Love her most
Top Chat: So in other words, Elf is a giant man-made object
Top Chat: No she isn’t
"Refreshing."
The waterfall poured into the waterwheel’s scoops, spilling over and intermittently flooding the path the players ran along.
Top Chat: Just having water around makes it feel cooler, right?
Top Chat: Totally agree (but please make the train A/C stronger)
Top Chat: Facts (give us a strong-A/C car already)
Top Chat: That’s a refrigerated car, lol
Top Chat: Ah, one guy just got drenched from above, slipped, and went straight down into the abyss
"Flowing human."
Top Chat: An outrageous new summer dish has been born
Top Chat: That’s one big-scale recipe (literally)
Top Chat: I don’t think humans are supposed to be on the menu
Top Chat: Once again, Elf is a giant man-made object
Top Chat: No she isn’t
"I want to be carried all the way to the next area."
Top Chat: Not possible
Top Chat: Like we said before, in Ochirite the water pressure is weak
Top Chat: At most it just makes you stumble
Top Chat: Looks wild, but it’s actually safe water
Top Chat: That phrasing tho lol
Top Chat: Makes me imagine bones floating and froth bubbling
"If the water isn’t strong, can I swim up it?"
Top Chat: There’s no swim command
Top Chat: And it’s intermittent anyway
Top Chat: Elf just wants to bathe
Top Chat: You did buy that swimsuit! Let’s gooo!
Top Chat: Yes yes, perfect expression—since you’ve got the swimsuit, get a little bolder! (make it giant size)
Top Chat: Bold (in the physical sense)
Top Chat: Not just guts, her everything is oversized
Top Chat: Surely, Elf is a physics-defying giant man-made object
Top Chat: No she isn’t
"Kirishitan-san, Onii-chan coming up from behind is scary."
"I expected that much, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be dropping out."
"Yes…"
Top Chat: Meanwhile, unlike Elf-san, Kirishitan and Kyōka-chan don’t look so good
Top Chat: Don’t look good (currently in 1st and 2nd place)
Top Chat: All they’ve got to work with are two barrels, barely enough to set a trap
Top Chat: Painful when there aren’t many to use
Top Chat: And on this stage, the barrels are just decoration, not proper gimmicks
"Can you hit Onii-chan with them?"
"…That would be difficult."
Top Chat: The lamb interprets that as “impossible”
Top Chat: Though with the height differences on this course, it looks like they might get a shot
"Even you, Kirishitan-san, can’t hit her?"
"There are points where movement slows down, so if just grazing her counts, then sure. But that won’t bring out the chick."
Top Chat: Chick?
Top Chat: It’s what pops out if you land a clean hit
Top Chat: Spins around their head and stuns them for up to eight seconds
Top Chat: Yeah, if you want Elf-san out, you need at least that much downtime…
"But you did hit in the practice match, right?"
"Back then there was that seesaw where players get stuck in place. I aimed for that and threw."
Top Chat: Kirishitan doesn’t acknowledge anything but clean hits
Top Chat: Normally “hit” means grazing counts too, you know?
Top Chat: It’s not that Kirishitan doesn’t understand Japanese—she’s just living in battle mode
Top Chat: Just battle mode, lol
“—So, if I can stop her movement, that’s enough, right?”
Top Chat: Oh?
Top Chat: Kyōka-chan?
"Exactly. If you can stop her, I can hit Elf."
"Understood. Leave it to me."
Top Chat: Wait, you’re turning back?
Top Chat: But you’re guaranteed finals if you just keep going!
"Sirene, are you okay with this?"
"I am."
"If I miss with the barrel, you might be the only one not to make the finals, you know?"
"I think I’d regret it more if I didn’t take the chance."
"Why?"
"Because I promised myself I’d ‘play with everything I’ve got.’"
Top Chat: LOL
Top Chat: Kyōka-chan and Kirishitan both smiling—such good vibes
Top Chat: Man, that’s pure youth right there
"Sirene."
"Yes?"
"Let’s collab again. Next time, without Elf."
"Yes!!"
Top Chat: Congrats, Sirene—finally invited to hang out as a friend!
Top Chat: Raise the big catch flag!
Top Chat: Congrats, Kirishitan—finally inviting a friend to hang out!
Top Chat: Raise the standard!
Top Chat: Alright folks, hype levels are rising!
