Part one of the “Happy Beans Day 2021” event! This covers episodes 1-7 of the event story.
Video for these subs is over here on my Youtube.
Episode 1 – Foolish Sports Competition
Woods Behind Campus
Floyd: Aha. Y’know, I…
Floyd: think it’s pointless to capture the harp and end the game, and don’t care which team wins or whether I lose.
Floyd: So forget the rules, let’s play. Until we’re real fucked up.
Jamil: Gh… now who’s being the monster!? [1]
Floyd: C’mon, run away, giant-kun! Gyahahaha!
–the day prior to Happy Beans Day
Headmaster’s Office
Trein: Vargas-sensei. The groupings for Happy Beans Day tomorrow.
Trein: I bring the splits for the classes I am in charge of.
rustle
Vargas: Thank you, Trein-sensei.
Vargas: Mmhmm! This competition is already dealing some pretty interesting cards.
Crowley: Which ones? …ooh, those ones are on opposite teams!
Vargas: With everything I’d gotten so far I thought the farmer team had the advantage, but…
Vargas: With this, who knows!
Crowley: My~ which team will win, I wonder. Being unable to predict it makes it even more fun!
Trein: Sigh…
Trein: Taking a traditional event steeped in history and changing it into a foolish sports festival… surprising to hear at such a prestigious school.
Trein: And there are even teachers who get entirely carried away. Truly deplorable.
Crowley: A-ahem! No, we’re not getting carried away at all, are we? Right, Vargas-sensei?
Vargas: T-that’s true. I’m just talking about the amount of muscle development they’ll be able to accomplish during an all-out competition…
Crewel: Trein-sensei, your way of thinking matches your fashion sense – traditional.
Trein: What?
Crewel: Extracting those old traditions and continuing to update the style to fit the times…
Crewel: That’s the necessary mindset for moving forward, is it not?
Trein: Hmph. What an update.
Trein: In the first place, I seem to recall that our school changed Happy Beans Day to this uncivilized event
Trein: around the time you came to Night Raven. Crewel-sensei.
Crowley: Ah, indeed.
Crowley: We changed Happy Beans Day to this competition format around 15 years ago, I think?
Crewel: They’re a lot more well-behaved now as compared to back then, now that we’ve prohibited the use of magic during the competition.
Vargas: Like you say, Crewel-sensei! Sustaining injuries while training your muscles is just all backwards.
Vargas: Our school is full of bad kids, so we have to have that rule that magic’s not allowed. Ha ha ha!
Trein: Sigh… that’s not something to laugh at.
Crewel: Right. I didn’t come here to chat about some dusty old history.
Crewel: Vargas-sensei. 1-A’s team split.
rustle
Vargas: Thank you. …mmhmm, I see!
Crowley: This… Compared to other years, it certainly seems like this year will be making some waves.
Vargas: Ha ha ha!
Vargas: That’s Night Raven College for you. I’m looking forward to tomorrow!
Episode 2 – Nice Attitude!
Heartslabyul Dorm – Lounge
Riddle: Law of the Queen of Hearts: number 529.
Riddle: “If you eat steak on the night of a full moon, the cat must play the violin.”
Riddle: …phew, I am glad there is a cat beastman in Heartslabyul.
Riddle: We were in danger of violating the laws there.
Cater: Mm~nn. I think that was more like making squeaky sounds than “playing” but well…
Trey: W-well… there’s nothing written about the song choice or skill level, so there’s no issue there.
Ace: And speakin’ of the steak, we had quite the grand lineup for our dinner menu tonight.
Ace: Quality steak and fried oysters and liver pie… wonder why?
Cater: It’s ’cause tomorrow’s Happy Beans Day! You gotta eat a lot and store all that energy.
Deuce: I see, so that’s why… I do feel pretty energetic and totally ready to run around tomorrow!
Trey: Deuce and Cater, you’re both on the farmer team, right?
Deuce: Yes! Yuu and Grim from my class are as well.
Cater: So it’s only Ace-chan separated from the group then.
Ace: Right. I’m on the giant team.
Ace: …well, I think chasing suits me better than being chased, so it’s lucky for me!
Trey: Then you’re on the same team as me, Ace. Let’s do well tomorrow.
Ace: Trey-senpai, you’re on the giant team? Then the dorm head too?
Trey: No. The dorm head and vice dorm head are always on separate teams.
Deuce: Which means dorm head Rosehearts is on the farmer team. I really will have to try hard…
Cater: Nice attitude for a card soldier!
Cater: Now since we’re just before the match, make sure you don’t carelessly give the other team any information, Deuce-chan.
Trey: Oi, oi, no reason to be careful already, is there?
Cater: Those with “innocent” faces are the ones you really gotta watch out for~
Riddle: Heh. I agree with Cater on this matter.
Trey: Even Riddle… geez.
Ace: But tomorrow we get to go all-out regardless of whether we’re up against classmates or dorms, right?
Ace: In a way, I’m super looking forward to it.
Cater: Man~ Giant Ace-chan is so scary~
Cater: Deuce-chan. Riddle-kun. Let’s capture that harp for the farmer team tomorrow~
Riddle: But of course. I have no intention of merely being chased around the whole time.
Deuce: I have faith in my speed and strength!!
Ace: Bit early for that. Even in tag, you’ve gotta be running fast up here to do well.
Deuce: Nngh… you’re the one I definitely don’t want catching me!
Trey: C’mon, leave the heat for tomorrow. Calm down or you won’t sleep.
Trey: Or at least don’t get so worked up you hurt yourselves.
Cater: Ah! Let’s grab a pic for the occasion!
flash
Cater: #heartslabyul #farmerteam&giantteam #tomorrowsenemies #gointobedearlytonight~
Cater: And it’s up. Everyone go “like” it~
Riddle: …mm. It’s already this late. Everyone, wrap up your conversations and get to bed.
Riddle: Those who do not abide by lights out will lose their heads.
Yes, dorm head.
Episode 3 – An Abundance Of Caution
Savanaclaw Dorm – Lounge
Savanaclaw Student A: Tch, I wanted to be on the giant team this year.
Savanaclaw Student B: Heh. You’re slow as a tortoise, you’d just drag down the hunt for them anyways.
Savanaclaw Student A: The hell? I’ll just haveta show you what they call real hunting, right now.
ROAR!
Savanaclaw Students: Eek!?
Leona: You bastards have grating voices. If you don’t wanna be roasted, get back to your nests and sleep already!
Savanaclaw Students: Yes! Good night, dorm head!
clatter…
Jack: …Leona-senpai’s in an even worse mood than usual today.
Ruggie: Tomorrow’s Happy Beans Day, so it’s totally because he’s gotta do that, right?
Ruggie: Happy Beans Day is only one of our compulsory “muscle training” sessions but…
Ruggie: Leona-san’s slacked off so much this year he’s barely passing the attendance requirement.
Jack: Eeh!? Leona-senpai’s not even bad at sports stuff, how’d it get that bad!?
Ruggie: Y’know, Jack-kun, there’re a ton of people that don’t think “good at” and “like” are equal.
Ruggie: Well, I’m gettin’ the chance to eat 3 days of special lunches ’cause of that, so… shishishi.
Ruggie: And opposite of the two of us, Leona-san’s on the farmer team.
Ruggie: It’s all above board, but to have the great lion himself be the one running around and hunted,
Ruggie: might be pretty stressful… or somethin’.
Leona: Grrrr…… don’t go makin’ up other people’s feelings randomly.
Ruggie: Ara, you heard that?
Leona: S’true that for tag, the farmer team’s the one being chased.
Leona: But in the stories, the farmers are the ones that take down the giants.
Leona: If you don’t pay attention you’ll be eatin’ beans, so you better be careful.
Jack: Yeah. I’ll definitely protect that harp tomorrow.
Jack: I can’t let Savanaclaw look foolish, since it’s all physical and no magic.
Jack: Senpai, watch me! I’m gonna catch more farmers than anyone else tomorrow!
Leona: You’ve got some nerve to make that declaration to me. …well, whatever.
Leona: Stop acting like an excitable kid. You get to bed too.
Jack: Yes! Excuse me.
Leona: Hmph, he’s sure eager. Don’t get these dogs that love to run in circles around the yard.
Ruggie: Shishishi. But you’ve got me t’help you out when our enthusiastic wolf decides to come after you.
Leona: Do well. If you wanna stuff yourself, anyways.
Ruggie: Got~cha.
Episode 4 – If You Skip, Your Grades Will Plummet
Mostro Lounge
Azul: Now, with the registers closed out for the evening, let’s quickly get to bed in preparation for tomorrow.
Azul: Tomorrow is the long-awaited Happy Beans Day. A good sleep is essential for staying in peak physical condition.
Jade: Last year we were on separate teams, and it seems the situation will be the same this year as well.
Azul: One year ago, I was on the farmer team and was caught right at the beginning by the giant team…
Azul: I was stuck doing special training with Vargas for the remainder of the event.
Azul: ..I cannot forget that humiliation! That muscle pain!
Azul: I may have made a blunder last time, but I will not allow that to happen again.
Azul: And on the giant team, I am certain I will achieve results. Fufufu…!
Jade: Yes. I am much looking forward to your activities as my opposition, Azul.
Azul: Heh. Stay calm and composed while you still can.
Azul: …speaking of. I haven’t seen him lately, where is Floyd?
Jade: Floyd is splayed across one of the customer sofas like a sardine.
Floyd: Aah———-……..
Floyd: Happy Beans Day is so laaame—… Maybe I’ll skip it.
Azul: You were so excited the day before last year, all “sounds fun~!” You certainly are capricious.
Floyd: You two’re fine. You’re in different groups than last year.
Floyd: But I’m on the same farmer team as last year. Done it so’m bored.
Floyd: Don’t wanna be chased. Wish I were on the giant team~
Jade: I see. So this is why you have been in a poor mood all day.
Floyd: I asked some of the guys in my class if they’d swap with me? and came on like, a li~ttle strong
Floyd: n’they told the teacher n’he got mad.
Floyd: Don’t care about the grade or whatever. I’ll just sleep through tomorrow.
Jade: Oh my… that won’t do. And here I was so happy to be on the same team as you this year.
Floyd: Bein’ with Jade isn’t that special either.
Azul: As I am on the giant team, I can only hope that Floyd will not wish to participate…
Azul: But if you skip Happy Beans Day, your grades will plummet.
Azul: And you’ll have to participate in a special training session with Vargas-sensei, it seems.
Floyd: Haa–? What’s with that… just hearin’ that makes me dry up.
Azul: So can you not simply show up for roll call and then hide away somewhere and let the time pass for the rest of it?
Floyd: Nnmm———…?
Jade: It is true. During the match, students are left to do whatever they will.
Jade: Erasing our presence entirely, is that not our speciality as eels?
Floyd: Nn———–…
Jade-Azul: ………………
Azul: Then it’s Vargas-sensei’s special training course after all.
Jade: There is no use. Let us let Floyd do as he pleases.
Jade: We do not know if perhaps his mood will have changed again by tomorrow.
Episode 5 – Careful Preparation
Scarabia Dorm – Lounge
Kalim: Yo, Jamil. You’re still up?
Jamil: As are you. If you don’t get to bed soon you’ll regret it tomorrow.
Kalim: That’s true. Thinkin’ about tomorrow has me all excited so I can’t sleep… hm?
Kalim: Smells good. Is that lunch for tomorrow?
Jamil: Yeah. Wanted to do something perfect to eat outside and fun to share with your friends.
Kalim: That’s Jamil for you! Can’t wait to eat tomorrow.
Jamil: And unlike normal, I won’t be there to carry it around for you. Don’t leave it in the dorm.
Kalim: Ah, right. We were on the same team last year, but this year is different.
Kalim: How many years has it been since we seriously played tag together? I’m super lookin’ forward to tomorrow!
Jamil: Yeah, true. …I’m also looking forward to it.
Jamil: Fufufu…
Pomefiore Dorm – Lounge
Vil: Stretching before bed will loosen your tense muscles and improve your bloodflow.
Vil: And activating your parasympathetic nervous system will lead to a better quality of rest.
Vil: Tomorrow we will be running about all day. Get some proper rest tonight. Understood?
Pomefiore Students: Yes!
Vil: …and now, our last leg stretches. Sit on the floor with both legs out to the side and bend your body forwards.
Epel: Gh, gh, ghnghgh… Vil-san, can’t do that. My back won’t bend any more!
Vil: Epel. Limiting yourself due to your physical constraints is exactly the reason you remain so inelegant. Flex your hips further!
Epel: E-even if you say that… aahow-ow-ow!
Rook: Oh… monsieur crabapple. You face such a hard struggle.
Rook: But it is alright. If you continue practicing Vil’s leg stretches every day, you will soon limber up.
Rook: Look, like so!
Epel: Uwah! Amazing, Rook-san! Your whole upper body is flat on the floor.
Rook: Flexible joints and supple muscles. Put those two together, and you will run as beautifully as the serow.
Vil: …ara, Rook. You’ve trained a bit, hmm? You have bulked up a little in the thigh and shoulder…
Rook: Oui. In preparation for Happy Beans Day tomorrow, I have been training a bit more heavily than usual for the past month.
Epel: Eh, just for Happy Beans Day!?
Rook: This year, my wish has come true, and I will face Vil as an enemy. I want to face this challenge at the peak of my ability to avoid having any regrets.
Vil: Heh… you have always said that, after all. “Careful preparation is important for the hunt.”
Rook: Correct. And with myself on the giant team and Vil and Epel-kun on the farmer team…
Rook: Ah, when I think of the surge of emotions in the moment of your capture, I feel as though I will be unable to sleep tonight!
Vil: It is early yet to count your chickens, I think. If you think I will be a simple capture, you are quite mistaken.
Vil: You intend to catch a chicken, but you may catch a bear instead… you may regret your decisions after all.
Vil-Rook: Fufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufufu………!
Epel: S-scary… Let’s just stay away from those two tomorrow.
Episode 6 – “The Usual Exchange”
Ignihyde Dorm – Idia’s Room
Clank clank…
Idia: It’s finally… it’s finally complete!
Idia: By using the dark energy generated by environmental vibrations in a compact module, you can mitigate the power decrease from sustained firing.
Idia: Upon loading it automatically applies magic to the beans that reduces air resistance, so they can be fired over 1800m.
Idia: I call it…
Idia: The Anti-Giant Artillery-Class Magic-Guided Bean Cannon – Skypiercer!!!
Idia: Impeccable……… I truly am such a genius.
Idia: ………………phew.
Idia: ……man, put too much into the name. Clearly a dev high. Dyufu.
Idia: Gonna change it to the easy-to-understand “Beans Shooter L”. Done.
Idia: 1x improved capture arm, 2x capture rods, 2x beans shooter S, 2x M, 1x L…
Idia: Yeah. That should be enough, right.
Clank clank…
Idia: If you shove too much in it’ll throw off the game balance, so… fuheehee! Time to deliver.
Ortho: Nii-san, where are you going this late at night?
Idia: Mm. Just going to the shop.
Ortho: Ah, the “usual exchange” like last year. I’ll help you carry everything!
Idia: Thanks. Ah, quietly, don’t want anyone to see us.
Ortho: Got it. A sneaking mission.
Beside Mister S’s Mystery Shop
Creak……
Mister S’s Mystery Shop
Ortho: Good evening, Sam-san.
Sam: Hey, little blue devils. Sorry, but the shop’s closed for the night.
Idia: …oh, “what I want is Out of stock”.
Sam: !! “I can’t believe that.”
Idia: “But I can’t find it at all.”
Idia-Sam: “Tomorrow everything’s for Happy Beans Day.”
Sam: OK! Password’s perfect. It’s been a year since I called you this, “Mr. Smith”.
Idia: H-hey. I wanna do the usual exchange, and um, I made a bunch.
Sam: Give it up for Mr. Smith! Then let’s get straight to negotiations.
Ortho: …it is true that nowhere within the Happy Beans Day rules does it detail that “you cannot make your own equipment”.
Ortho: But is this really alright?
Idia: Taking an event where those sportsmen drip with sweat as they run about and personally manipulating its difficulty while simply sitting back and watching from a safe location…
Idia: This exhilaration! Can’t get enough of it!!
Ortho: …well, whatever. My brother is certainly facing participating in this school event with such positivity!
Ortho: Wonder how tomorrow’s match is gonna go. I’m looking forward to it.
Episode 7 – One And Only Chance
Diasomnia Dorm – Lounge
Sebek: Ooohoooo…. oooooohhh~~~~!!!!!
Sebek: Why, why does fate put so many cruel challenges along my path!!!!!!
Silver: Lower your voice, Sebek. Some have already retired for the night.
Sebek: This sadness which threatens to tear me asunder… you could hardly understand, Silver!!!
Lilia: How noisy, those two.
Malleus: I don’t understand. I spoke of how “I joined the farmer team” and Sebek collapsed upon the floor and began crying.
Sebek: The most noble being in the land, my liege, reduced to mere prey by the pick of a lottery!
Sebek: This may only be a school event, but this is an unpardonable offense! We must protest immediately!
Silver: Please pay no attention to him. He is just throwing a tantrum over the fact that Malleus-sama is on the opposing team.
Sebek: Bastard! Just because you are on my liege’s team, do not push your luck!!
Lilia: Mmhmm. So Malleus and Silver are on the farmer team, while Sebek and myself are on the giant team.
Lilia: Are you unsatisfied being with me? Sebek.
Sebek: No, that is not…!
Sebek: Being able to follow Lilia-sama, a soldier known for being able to face one thousand men himself, is quite the honor for me.
Sebek: B-but…… um, my liege is……
Malleus: What is it? It is rare to see you so hesitant to speak. Say it.
Sebek: Night Raven College 4th years are focused on their external lessons, so they are mostly not on campus…
Sebek: So as my liege is a 3rd year,
Sebek: this will be his last time participating in Happy Beans Day here.
Sebek: This was our one and only chance to do it together…
Silver: So as a bodyguard, why are you troubling Malleus-sama with your personal feelings?
Sebek: Gh…… I do, apologize.
Malleus: No need to apologize. I don’t really care.
Lilia: Kufufu. There are not many chances in this life to turn your blade on the king. You should enjoy the practice.
Sebek: Yes! But I swear I will never in my life turn my blade against my liege!
Lilia: As for you, Silver, this will be good training for a member of the king’s guard. Brace yourself.
Silver: Yes. I will definitely protect Malleus-sama himself.
Lilia: ……kufufu. This is just a little tag competition but they’ve got their serious faces on. Super entertaining.
Lilia: Ahem! Speaking of, I’ll be heading straight to get Malleus with all my power!
Lilia: I will show you my true power as the one they call the elusive hidden general of the Valley of Thorns.
Malleus: Fufu… well, in order to not be captured too quickly, I will need to do just as well.
Malleus: This is the only time the four of us will participate all together. Let us all have fun.
Yes!
