Chapter 80: Scripted Ad-Lib
The script is simple.
The monster who overcame the two-on-one disadvantage is then confronted by all five heroes, who muster their strength to defeat her.
"In other words, we need a monster that even five people together can’t take down."
Top Chat: No, that’s wrong
Top Chat: Pretty sure that’s wrong
Top Chat: I think you’ve got it backwards
Top Chat: Feels like the mid-boss suddenly turned into a secret final boss
"Ei!"
"Gwaaah!?"
"Yaa!"
"Dowaaah!?"
"Tou!"
"De-waaah!?"
Punches and kicks, all caught with hands and hair, then tossed away.
Top Chat: This is getting ridiculous lol
Top Chat: They’re getting flung around like ragdolls
Top Chat: She’s casually wiping the floor with five people—that’s Elf for you…
Top Chat: Wait, Elf was this much of a combat race type?
"Ooooohhh!"
"Muh."
Top Chat: They locked up!
Top Chat: Uh, isn’t grappling against Elf a bad idea?
Top Chat: Elf-san may as well have three or four arms with all that hair
"Young lady, I’m sorry, but could you let us just beat you normally?"
Top Chat: Ahh, so they can secretly coordinate
Top Chat: Yeah, without a mic on Elf-san they can’t hear her
Top Chat: A bit anticlimactic, but at least it’d wrap things up
Top Chat: Can’t be helped
"Nope."
"Nuwahhh!?"
Top Chat: She just said “Nope” lol
Top Chat: The heroes are getting entangled by tentacles
Top Chat: Excuse me, but that’s the Elf Laser actually
Top Chat: What even is a laser again?
Top Chat: It’s thinner than a beam, apparently
"Y-young lady!"
"Are you telling me that what you all lamented as your ‘last chance’… is really just this kind of scripted show?"
"Ugh…!"
Top Chat: Uh, yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what it is?
Top Chat: Oh no, Elf-san’s trademark weird persuasiveness is activating!
Top Chat: Weird persuasiveness lol
"Overflowing passion, the audience sincerely praying for your victory. Everyone watching, not blinking even once, waiting to see what happens next."
"I… we…"
Top Chat: Well yeah, their hair actually staying spiked up forever is on the line
Top Chat: Of course they’re serious lol
Top Chat: Not that it even needs that—this show’s plenty entertaining
"Come at me, heroes. You can’t call for help. Because you are the heroes."
Top Chat: Aaaaand yep, there’s no avoiding it now
Top Chat: If someone said that to me, I’d fight Elf-san too
Top Chat: Japanese phrase I’d want to hear at least once in my life
"…! Everyone! Let’s do that!"
"Leader!? But we didn’t make it in time for that before!"
"Yeah! If it fails, you’ll get seriously hurt, Leader!"
The man decides. His comrades protest the danger.
But anyone who’d back down over that wouldn’t have struggled this far—dragging in even an outsider like me.
"A weekday afternoon with no promise of drawing a crowd. This is the last stage given to us. The organizers don’t expect anything, the department store doesn’t expect anything. But if this stage turns into a huge success—wouldn’t that be cool?"
Top Chat: They’ve fallen…
Top Chat: Heroes, lured and manipulated by the monster
Top Chat: Sad warriors who’ve forgotten their original mission
Top Chat: But in their eyes, the light of the heat-retention lamp still burns!
Top Chat: Now go, heroes!
Top Chat: Heat-Retention Sentai Denshi-ger!
"Here we go, Monster Elfman! Take our ultimate move!"
"Yeah."
The four gathered together, hoisting up the man called Leader at their side.
Top Chat: What are they planning?
Top Chat: Is this an actual official move?
Top Chat: I don’t really know anything about sentai heroes, but I’m pretty sure no such move exists? If anything, it’s kinda like the setup for Postal Sentai Messenger’s “Post Dunk,” but I don’t know…
Top Chat: lol
"Our hearts can’t be stopped by some laser!"
"Come."
The four, still carrying the Leader, took a running start, and then—
"“““Hyaaaaah!””””
Top Chat: They threw himmmmm!?
Top Chat: W-wait lol
Top Chat: Whoa whoa whoa!?
"Elf Beam!"
Aimed right at the flung Leader, her hair blasts at maximum output.
"…Young lady, I knew I could trust you."
"Didn’t you say ‘a laser can’t stop us’?"
"Nice ad-lib."
"N."
She catches the Leader and tumbles down with him in a dramatic grapple.
Top Chat: It’s settled!
Top Chat: Elf-san!
Top Chat: Denshi Red!
The script is very simple.
The monster who overcame the two-on-one fight is then confronted by five heroes, who gather their strength to defeat her.
"I’ve been beaten."
Satisfied, I surrendered.
