You Gotta Be Kidding…
Harveston - Raceway
Epel
SEEEEE-BEEEEEK!! ARE YOU HERE??!!
Epel
…No response, and I don’t see him either.
Jade
It seems that the recoil from his efforts to save you ended up throwing his entire sled off the racecourse.
It is dark now, so we can’t locate him very well.
His voice would also get drowned out by the strong mountain gales, I presume.
Epel
Wh-What should we do?!
Idia
Shouldn’t we head for the finish on our own then?
It’s Sir Sebek anyway, so he should be able to get back on the racecourse on his own. He’s the tough sort of character, like the very embodiment of stamina itself and all…
Epel
But the total sum of everyone’s finish time is used to determine the results, you know? If Sebek ends up dropping out…
Jade
However, if we do not depart soon, we will not be able to catch up to The Seven Dwarves ☆.
There is a chance that Sebek gets back on track by himself. If we were to spend our time searching for him instead, it would certainly spell out our defeat.
I believe we should press on. If we intend to forfeit the victory, though, then that’s a different matter altogether.
Epel
……Um!
I understand, but I still think we should all look for Sebek!
Idia
Hah…? Getting all three of us to search for him is so inefficient…
Jade
How kind of you, Epel.
Epel
It’s not that, I actually have a plan. This is the only way for us to win!
Jade & Idia
……
Idia
…I mean if you insist, then sure.
Jade
Agreed. He must have a master plan in mind if he is insisting to such a degree. After all, Epel is more devoted to racing than any of us here.
Sebek
Epel!! Where are you?!
Sebek
…No response, huh. Kuh…! For things to end up like this…
My sled was sent flying out of the course when I rammed into Epel’s sled…
And from there I came tumbling out into the forest and ended up falling into quite a deep pit.
I was lucky I could cling onto some ivy in the brink of the moment, but my sled fell all the way and broke…
The plushel was the only thing I managed to save, but with this little left, I can’t even be of any help!
Sebek
This much rope climbing is usually not a problem…but I might rip the ivy to bits if I were to use my full strength here.
Kuh…! If the Young Master were in such a situation, he’d have most certainly flown out elegantly without even the need for a broom…!
Anyway… All I can do now is call for help!
EPEEEEEEL!!!
*R-R-R-R-RUMBLE!!!*
Sebek
Wha-?! What’s going on?!
Jade
I-I just heard something loud coming from somewhere!
Epel
Th-That’s…
*R-R-R-R-RUMBLE!!!*
Idia
A-AN AVALANCHE!!
Epel
Ah! Sebek must be over there, then!
*RRRRRRRR……!!!*
Sebek
Could it be…there’s an avalanche occurring nearby?
Ugh… All the shaking from it is making the ivy quiver! This is awful, it’s gonna break!
Epel
Sebeeeeek! Are you thereeeeee?!
Sebek
IS THAT YOU, EPEL??!! I’M OVER HERE!!!
Epel
Sebek! You’re there, right?!
Epel
There you are! He was in this pit all along! Idia, Jade!
Grab onto the rope on the sled, Sebek! We’ll pull you out now!
Epel
That sure was a close shave, wasn’t it.
Sebek
I was yelling for help and then an avalanche occurred right after that. It spooked me…
Idia
You gotta be kidding… Just how loud does your voice go, Sir Sebek…
Jade
It seems that the urban myth that speaking loudly can cause an avalanche in the mountains…is in fact, no mere urban myth after all.1
Epel
Sebek… I’m so sorry things turned out this way all because you had to save me!
Sebek
Hmph. I’m just returning the favour since you fixed up my plushel for me earlier. Nothing more than that.
This just means we’re even. Don’t fret over it.
Epel
…Ahaha! That’s such a Sebek response. I’m glad you’re safe!
Sebek
Unfortunately though, my sled is now broken.
Even though all of you went this far to pick me up… I can no longer…
Epel
Not at all, it’s still too early to give up!
Jade
However, the immediate issue at hand is the fact that it is just a matter of time before The Seven Dwarves ☆ reaches the finish line, correct?
We are unable to turn the tides at this rate. It would take an outrageously miraculous plan for us to even begin to have a chance to do so…
Epel
May I explain the strategy I had in mind to all of you?
Jade
Come to think of it, you did mention having an idea earlier, didn’t you, Epel? “This is the only way for us to win”…was it?
Epel
Yeah!
Notes
- I find it so funny how he’s so happy when he says this. Also disclaimer a quick google shows that this is truly a myth lol (Return to text)
