1. Umaru-chan, what is it?Copy !req
2. Oh, sorry!Copy !req
3. Let's go, Ebina-chan.Copy !req
4. R-Right.Copy !req
5. Boss, that's...Copy !req
6. Yes, I know.Copy !req
7. It's UMR!Copy !req
8. Action, shmup, fighting, and even rhythm—Copy !req
9. she's dominated every game of every genre.Copy !req
10. What's worse, she's got a prodigious knack for crane games,Copy !req
11. able to obtain any prize with a single coin.Copy !req
12. The most dangerous gamer to ever set foot in our arcade: UMR!Copy !req
13. Looks like she's already set her sights on the Sourpuss Nyancoro dolls that came in just today.Copy !req
14. We can't let her walk away with a chunk of our newest stock.Copy !req
15. In that regard, have no fear.Copy !req
16. What?Copy !req
17. I've already arranged the prizes in that machineCopy !req
18. to make it particularly difficult to win one!Copy !req
19. What?Copy !req
20. Th-That's the "tag snag"!Copy !req
21. The wily tactic of aiming for the doll's tag!Copy !req
22. You realize she's making off with three prizes?Copy !req
23. Won't she get this in one shot, too?Copy !req
24. No, not to worry.Copy !req
25. For boxed prizes like this,
you have to aim for the ring.Copy !req
26. However, I've weakened the claw's motor so muchCopy !req
27. that it'll take at least fifteen nudges to win.Copy !req
28. Th-That's good to hear.Copy !req
29. Wh-What?Copy !req
30. You were saying?Copy !req
31. Now she's gone for the "seam skewer"!Copy !req
32. The high-level technique of catching the claw on cracks in the packaging!Copy !req
33. Excuse me...Copy !req
34. The prize I want isn't in the machine.Copy !req
35. Could you put it out for me?Copy !req
36. Sh-She's cute...Copy !req
37. C-Certainly. One moment, please.Copy !req
38. That's the "Niagara knock-down"!Copy !req
39. By displacing the center of gravity of the plushie pile,Copy !req
40. she causes them to
cascade like Niagara—Copy !req
41. Stop commentating and
do something about it!Copy !req
42. I'm sorry!Copy !req
43. And here you are with another ton of prizes.Copy !req
44. I heard the arcade calling to me when I passed it coming home from school.Copy !req
45. I feel sorry for that place every time.Copy !req
46. Come on, though.
Surely you don't need this many.Copy !req
47. I had to get one of each color!Copy !req
48. Welcome to your new home, Nyancoro!Copy !req
49. Well, what the hey.Copy !req
50. She really loves those stuffed animals, doesn't she?Copy !req
51. Umaru, it's midnight already.Copy !req
52. Time for bed.Copy !req
53. But I wanna watch late-night anime!Copy !req
54. You're recording them, aren't you?Copy !req
55. Ahem.Copy !req
56. Umaru! It's time for school!Copy !req
57. Aw, can't I doze a bit more?Copy !req
58. Look alive. You've got tennis in gym class today, don't you?Copy !req
59. Bah, exercise.Copy !req
60. Umaru-chan, you look good in tennis wear, too.Copy !req
61. Oh, stop it.Copy !req
62. What a drag.Copy !req
63. I wanna go home.Copy !req
64. I wanna play MMOs.Copy !req
65. All I know about tennis,
I learned from anime and manga.Copy !req
66. We'll start by getting used to handling the ball.Copy !req
67. This is easy and actually kinda fun.Copy !req
68. Umaru-san!Copy !req
69. T-Tachibana-san?Copy !req
70. I challenge you to a most splendid match!Copy !req
71. You'll never beat me in tennis!Copy !req
72. Okay, but...Copy !req
73. There aren't that many courts.Copy !req
74. Not to worry!Copy !req
75. I've kept a court free just for us!Copy !req
76. What's going on?Copy !req
77. Umaru-chan's having a match.Copy !req
78. Wh-Why are we doing this, again?Copy !req
79. Um, I don't know a thing about tennis.Copy !req
80. Are you sure about this?Copy !req
81. Don't you worry!Copy !req
82. I shall handle every serve and every smash!Copy !req
83. Huh?Copy !req
84. Ready, start!Copy !req
85. I-It feels like the whole
class is watching us...Copy !req
86. but this match can be
nice and casual, right?Copy !req
87. Umaru-san!Copy !req
88. I'll splendidly surpass you today, just you wait!Copy !req
89. Here I go!Copy !req
90. Canzone Sylphine Smash!Copy !req
91. Get a load of that serve!Copy !req
92. It's a showdown between pros!Copy !req
93. Wait, did she just name her own serve?Copy !req
94. "Casual", my foot.Copy !req
95. That's my splendid skill at work!Copy !req
96. Wha...Copy !req
97. Wh-What is the meaning of this?Copy !req
98. Sylphine and Ebina's team.Copy !req
99. I-I just have to toss the ball up and hit it, right?Copy !req
100. Yah!Copy !req
101. Ebihara-san, why are you closing your eyes?Copy !req
102. I'm sorry!Copy !req
103. Also, it's Ebina!Copy !req
104. I'd hate to be in Ebina-chan's shoes.Copy !req
105. Umaru and Kirie's team.Copy !req
106. I don't want to hurt Ebina-chan because she's not looking,Copy !req
107. so I'll hit a gentle serve.Copy !req
108. Not on my watch!Copy !req
109. Splendid!Copy !req
110. Sylphine-san, are you all right?Copy !req
111. N-No need to worry about me!Copy !req
112. Splendid!Copy !req
113. Why is she taking this so seriously?Copy !req
114. Um, Sylphine-san?Copy !req
115. I'm perfectly fine!Copy !req
116. Well played, Umaru-san!Copy !req
117. An exquisite serve!Copy !req
118. I'm honored to play such a splendidly worthy opponent as you!Copy !req
119. But come, we're just getting started!Copy !req
120. this match can be
nice and casual, right?Copy !req
121. Splendid!Copy !req
122. Canzone Sylphine Smash!Copy !req
123. I'll protect you!Copy !req
124. I love you, Kirie-chan!Copy !req
125. Ebimori-san!Copy !req
126. It's Ebina!Copy !req
127. Sylphine Smash!Copy !req
128. Kirie-chan!Copy !req
129. Ebikura-san!Copy !req
130. It's Ebina!Copy !req
131. What happened?Copy !req
132. I-I can't move...Copy !req
133. Swish-swish-swoosh!Copy !req
134. Taihei-senpai.Copy !req
135. I've returned from visiting my uncle in Europe,Copy !req
136. and I brought you this souvenir.Copy !req
137. Oh, really?Copy !req
138. Gosh, you shouldn't have.Copy !req
139. It looked like your kind of thing, so I just had to.Copy !req
140. Really?Copy !req
141. Thanks, Alex-kun.Copy !req
142. Please take good care of it.Copy !req
143. O-Of course.Copy !req
144. He said it's a nodding cat ornament.Copy !req
145. These ceramic things are so ugly.Copy !req
146. He said they're handcrafted by artisans in his country.Copy !req
147. To think, the newbie I trained from day one is now giving me presents.Copy !req
148. I'm so touched.Copy !req
149. Nice to meet you. My name is Alex.Copy !req
150. Maybe someday he'll end up as your boss.Copy !req
151. Taihei-kun, this is unacceptable.Copy !req
152. I'm putting it in here. Don't break it.Copy !req
153. I'm not gonna touch an ugly thing like that!Copy !req
154. Da-na da-na da-na...Copy !req
155. doo-dee doo, da-na-na-na...Copy !req
156. Whoosh!Copy !req
157. A wild Hamsterdee appeared!Copy !req
158. Metal Nyancus, I choose you!Copy !req
159. Metal Nyancus uses "shake head"!Copy !req
160. Hamsterdee's defense harshly fell!Copy !req
161. Hamsterdee's HP is low!Copy !req
162. Now's my chance to catch it!Copy !req
163. Ouch!Copy !req
164. M-Metal Nyancus, your stats suck!Copy !req
165. Doo-dee-doo-dee-doo...Copy !req
166. But this is no time for jokes!Copy !req
167. Onii-chan's gonna have my head!Copy !req
168. I told you not to break it!Copy !req
169. If you can't treat things with respect, I won't buy you anything anymore!Copy !req
170. I will now commence the repair operation.Copy !req
171. The current timeline leads inevitably to the disaster's discovery and a scolding.Copy !req
172. The only way to avoid this destiny is to erase the ornament's destruction from reality.Copy !req
173. I'm a straight-A student in art class.Copy !req
174. With these hands, I shall manipulate fate and construct a timeline devoid of scolding!Copy !req
175. The mechanism of the head is the same as a Japanese nodding cow.Copy !req
176. The fragments can be joined
together with strong adhesiveCopy !req
177. and the cracks filled with putty.Copy !req
178. Once dry, I'll sand it down for the next step.Copy !req
179. I must carefully control my brushwork to match the antique look.Copy !req
180. The head is smashed beyond recognition.Copy !req
181. It would be better to recreate it from scratch.Copy !req
182. I can't remember what the face looked like!Copy !req
183. Why do antiques have to look so weird?Copy !req
184. I remember it was this sorta funny-looking, ugly face.Copy !req
185. You can do it, memory... Show me!Copy !req
186. Pika!Copy !req
187. Wrong!Copy !req
188. I can't get the face to look right!Copy !req
189. But I gotta finish this before
Onii-chan comes home!Copy !req
190. I'm sorry.Copy !req
191. You broke it and made a new one, didn't you?Copy !req
192. Yes...Copy !req
193. Well, I don't mind that you broke it.Copy !req
194. As long as you're sorry for what you did, that's enough.Copy !req
195. Onii-chan!Copy !req
196. Close call!Copy !req
197. But what I'd like to know...Copy !req
198. is how you bought the materials for your little scheme.Copy !req
199. U-Um...Copy !req
200. From a hardware store... with your card.Copy !req
201. Why do you know my PIN?Copy !req
202. Hi-yah! Take that! Pow!Copy !req
203. Boom! Bam! Finish him!Copy !req
204. Hmm...Copy !req
205. The transition from the fifth move of the combo is still kinda weak.Copy !req
206. Lemme take another look at the pattern.Copy !req
207. I'm home.Copy !req
208. A game tournament?Copy !req
209. The arcade that had the rock-paper-scissors tournament is holding a fighting game tournament.Copy !req
210. Oh yeah!Copy !req
211. Onii-chan, you should come too!Copy !req
212. Okay, I'm going to go sign in.Copy !req
213. You just wait here.Copy !req
214. Sure thing.Copy !req
215. Well, if it isn't Taihei-senpai!Copy !req
216. Huh?Copy !req
217. Alex-kun!Copy !req
218. Imagine running into you outside of work, and at a place like this no less!Copy !req
219. Yeah...Copy !req
220. Actually, I'm here because of my sister.Copy !req
221. What a coincidence.Copy !req
222. I'm also—Copy !req
223. To the fans gathered here today, welcome.Copy !req
224. The SSF4 championship tournament...Copy !req
225. will now begin!Copy !req

262. Come to think of it, I remember hearing that she enters a lot of competitions.Copy !req
263. I brought this from home!Copy !req
264. I had no clue she was a gamer, though.Copy !req
265. I just hope she doesn't realize who I am.Copy !req
266. Sylphine Kick!Copy !req
267. Hey!Copy !req
268. Victory goes to me, Tachibana Sylphineford!Copy !req
269. Excuse me, TSF-san...Copy !req
270. We'd prefer it if you wore a mask and avoided using your real name.Copy !req
271. You're revealing too much personal information.Copy !req
272. And before you know it,
we're already at the finals!Copy !req
273. Fighting game matches sure go quickly.Copy !req
274. We'll finally determine the ultimate gamer!Copy !req
275. TSF vs. UMR!Copy !req
276. It's a pleasure to meet you, UMR-san.Copy !req
277. My name is Tachibana Sylphineford.Copy !req

280. Take this!Copy !req
281. Horizontality Sylphine Kick!Copy !req
282. TSF opens with a special!Copy !req
283. UMR swiftly dodges!Copy !req
284. We're watching masters at work here!Copy !req
285. Right off the bat, she throws a hard-to-execute midair finisher at me!Copy !req
286. It takes a lot of experience to pull that off.Copy !req
287. Well dodged!Copy !req
288. But jumping leaves your defenses wide open!Copy !req
289. TSF executes a massive combo!Copy !req
290. But UMR parries every single hit!Copy !req
291. Now!Copy !req
292. UMR with a chain combo!Copy !req
293. Your fifth move leaves you open!Copy !req
294. The transition from the fifth move of the combo is still kinda weak.Copy !req

314. UMR! UMR! UMR!Copy !req
315. Huh?Copy !req
316. Alex-kun?Copy !req
317. I wonder why Sylphine-san ran off like that yesterday.Copy !req
318. Umaru-san!Copy !req
319. Y-Yes?Copy !req
320. Today's the day of our
academic achievement tests!Copy !req
321. And I, Sylphine, shall come in first!Copy !req
322. Um, r-right.Copy !req
323. Same old Sylphine.Copy !req
324. I hear she enters a lot of competitions.Copy !req
325. She just wants the attention, I bet.Copy !req
326. I wouldn't be so sure.Copy !req
327. I shall come first most splendidly!Copy !req
328. We have fifteen seconds to battle it out in this preview, UMR-san!Copy !req

331. Then I'll challenge you again next week!Copy !req
332. Incredible. That actually works as a preview!Copy !req
