YuYuYui - Noodle festa - 1

Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 1

Uta: The breeze of May is here! And what better noodles to eat in May than soba~.

SHI: The hell!? Ramen's my go-to noodle every season!

Nat: Mine is Okinawa soba without a doubt.

Tou: Here in Kagawa, nothing speaks more of the noodles' appeal than udon!

Uta: Soba!

SHI: Ramen!

Nat: Okinawa soba...

Tou: Udon!

Fuu: Um um, I see the noodles dispute is in full swing today again~!

Tou: Fuu-senpai! What is it? I thought you would offer your support to the udon faction.

Fuu: I'd very much like to, but for today, I'll be taking a neutral stance. The reason being...!

Fuu: For all of you who love noodles from your birthplace, I have just the request for you!

Fuu: A festival in honor of Shikoku's greatest noodles, its name is "Noodle festa"!!

Fuu: And the Hero Club has been personally asked for their help by none other than the organizers!

Gin: Noodle festa, is that the one with a huge plaza and all bunch of stalls!?

Tam: Tama saw it on TV too! You can walk around and eat all kinds of noodles~!

Fuu: That's right! They need an ambassador to convey the charm of each type of noodles at the event!

Nat/SHI: Ambassador!?

Uta: What is that?

Aka: Utano, you sure don't know much for someone who uses English words as much as you...

Ren: Hmph, an ambassador carries publicity activities on request, an envoy of sorts.

Yum: In other words, a mascot!

Kir: I see, a noodles ambassador advertisin' every noodles' good qualities... or in short!

Kir: A menbassador!(*1)

Aka: That's just a pun!?

Kir: Ahaha, sounded good to me. Ain't that nice? Menbassador.

Fuu: I like the ring of it, we'll be using this name going forward!

Everyone: Agreed~!

Fuu: Ahem! I will now be explaining what the job of a menbassador consists of!

Fuu: A menbassador's duty is to liven up their noodle booth on the day of the event.

Fuu: Furthermore, they will need to upload a promotional video actively detailing what is the appeal of their noodles of choice beforehand!

Mit: It sounds like a heavy responsibility somehow.

Uta: But this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make soba win over the entire humanity!

Tou: I will not be defeated. I humbly take on the role of a menbassador.

Note 1: Noodles(麺) pronounced men


Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 2

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: So let's start with picking the menbers who will represent the Hero Club as menbassadors.

Kar: You just said "menbers" as if that was completely natural.

Fuu: I didn't expect less from you, noticing my sophisticated gags immediately.

Kir: Ahahahaha! The Hero club's really a bunch of funny noodles~. Just kiddin'.(*1)

Fuu: Ahaha, you're not half bad either, Shizuka! You impress me!(*2)

Its: Um... While you were busy making puns, we decided who we'll send.

Fuu: Ha! When...!?

SHI: Well, this roaster's a surprise to no one...(*3)

Kir: Ahahaha! Even SHIZU-tan's getting in on the noodle puns!

SHI: I-I'm not! That was just a coincidence. Damn you're a pain... Ha! That one wasn't on purpose either!(*4)

Sek: Nyahahaha. So anyway, Shizuku, SHIZUKU and I are the ramen menbassadors!

Uta: And as you've come to expect! Mii-chan and I are the soba menbassadors!!

Tou: As half the Hero Club is part of the udon faction, it was a rather fierce battle...

Wak: It resulted in me, Tougou, Yuuna and Sumi taking on the role of representing the Hero Club.

Fuu: Good, good, I feel incomparable strength in this lineup.

Fuu: I'll be busy supervising everyone, so I entrust you with the future of udon!

Yuu: Leave it to us!

Nat: I'll be in charge of Okinawa soba with this happy group.

Yum/Ren/Aka: That's right~! Okinawa soba~!

Kar: Wait, wait! Aren't you in the udon faction?

Yum: I indeed love udon, however I have failed becoming its menbassador...

Ren: Hmph, the future of Okinawa soba is guaranteed with Miroku as its menbassador.

Kir: So in short, this roaster's fine with any noodles as long as they're in the spotlight!

Aka: Shizu-senpai, good answer~! By the way, I'm doing this to help onee-sama.

Kir: Guess we got our menbassador menbers then!

Hin: My? Are you sure, Shizuka-san? I thought a role with more excitement would have been more suitable for you.

Kir: Uum, my noodle's udon, but they got a strong enough roaster already...

Kir: So! My role'll be to support every menbassador, a "menbassador ambassador"!

Chi: The unfamiliar words just keep on coming.

Aka: But that sounds fun! What does a menbassador ambassador do?

Kir: Uuh... For starters, upload a video to show the appeal of the menbassadors.

Wak: You don't mean...!

SON: Using the video sharing service, My-Tube~!

Fuu: Video sharing... My-Tube... Uuh, the Yuutube trauma is coming back to me...

Meb: Same, I could feel a shiver down my spine...

Kir: Mmh? Not everyone's too down for this, but while we're at it, let's make it fun!

Note 1: Menmen means everywhere around but here it's used with the kanji for noodles.

Note 2: Menkurau means to be taken aback but here the "men" part is written with the kanji for noodles.

Note 3: Mentsu means roaster.

Note 4: Mendokusai means annoying


Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 3

[Sanshuu Middle School hallway]

Kir: And now, menbassador ambassador Shizuku-san's startin' her program to introduce the happy bunch~!

Gin: Aah! Shizuka-san is shooting a video with a selfie stick! Is it the menbassador ambassador's!!?

Son: She's like those My-Tuber people~!

Kir: I'm live recordin' right now to all of Shikoku~! Let's get on to meet the menbassadors!

[Home ec. room]

Shi: When it comes to ramen... Tokushima ramen.

Sek: Nyah, that's the one thing I won't make concessions on, it's Asahikawa ramen!

SHI: Too bad! It's two on one here, Tokushima ramen wins!

Sek: Hey hey! Isn't the majority rule unfair!?

Kir: Looks like there's internal discord in the ramen team. Stay tuned to not miss the rest!

Kir: Movin' on to the team with the most members! This is the udon team! How confident are ya?

Tou: The udon army's absolute victory is beyond doubt. Our usual amount of effort is all we need.

Wak: Thanks to the kindness of udon supporters all over the nation, we've gathered the best ingredients.

Sum: Please come to the event to eat the greatest of Sanuki udon.

Yuu: We'll be waiting~!!

Kir: A fluent presentation that leaves ya wonderin' if they read from a script! Ya can't overstate their regal presence~!

Kir: W-What is that!? Where's this place I'm being led to by force...!

Uta: Welcome! To the town of soba!

Mit: You must be tired doing your report, have some soba tea. And soba manjuus made with buckwheat flour to go along with it.

Uta: We're making soba right now, please take it easy and rest.

Uta: I thought they forced me to come, but it was actually courteous service! Is this the soba faction's style?

Kir: If so, Imma let myself be tempted by the soba faction!!

Uta: You'll always be welcome! Please lend me the camera.

Uta: Everyone watching this! I'm also talking to those who think nothing can beat udon, try it once, and you'll become a slave to soba!

Mit: Please come check out our soba booth during the event!

Kir: H...Hey hey, gimme back my camera! Haa... Seriously.

Kir: So anyway, I think we can give the perfect score of appeal to the soba team!

Kir: I'm going to introduce ya the Okinawa soba team last but, they seem to be workin' in an empty classroom so...

Kir: Everyone's preparin' in the home ec. room, I wonder what they're up to...

Kir: Mh? This music...?

[Empty classroom]

Kir: Wait, they're dancin'! That's got nothing to do with noodles!!

Nat: Yes. But it's fun.

Aka: Shizu-senpai, let's dance! Come on, hurry!

Kir: Mmh~, I don't really get it, but it's fun so why not!

Kir: So to all the menbassadors workin' hard for this noodle festa, do your best!!

Yum/Ren: We will be awaiting you♪


Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 4

[Hero Club room]

Fuu: Whether you like it or not, the event is tomorrow!

Fuu: Menbassadors and others, hype yourself up for tomorrow!!

Everyone: Yees!

Tou: It's incredible, Shizuka-san! The video's view count substantially increased yet again.

Kir: That's right! So many comments are flowin' in too!

Aki: "I bought a ticket", "Can't wait to see it", "I want to meet the menbassadors"!

Yos: Exclusively positive comments I see.

Ren: Hmph, Miroku's gorgeous dance is quick to take effect.

Aka: All the comments we received were along the lines of "The Okinawa folk dance was so cool! But it's totally unrelated to noodles!".

Ren: This only goes to show we have captivated their attention. Natsume, Yumiko, Yuuna, let us dance with all our might!

Nat/Yum/Aka: Ooh!!

[The next day]

[Park]

Kir: A'ight! The event is finally here! And Shizu-san reached her destination!!

Kir: Ramen, udon, soba, Okinawa soba, and many other booths are currently lined up!

Son: Sniff... The nice smell of dashi is coming from the venue~.

Gin: I skipped breakfast this morning, so I'm already starving!

Tam: Tama didn't eat all day yesterday for the sake of today!

Anz: Although you couldn't resist and ate a melonpan in the middle of the night.

Tam: T-That's... because I have a separate stomach for sweets!

Gin: I can't hold on any longer! Shizuka-san, let's enter the venue!

Kir: Gotcha! Let's work hard gettin' footage today! March on!!

Tam: Kuuh~! Couldn't have been a worse timing!

Kir: Haha, I see, the Vertexes wanna get coverage from Shizu-san, huh!

Aya/Hin: Eeh!?

Kir: Too bad, I'm only here for the menbassadors! Show us your favorite noodles if ya don't like it!

Suz: Favorite noodles... That's even beyond unreasonable, I feel like.

Kir: Guys, go collect their answers, and come report back to Shizu-san!

Kir: Be careful, and see ya later!


Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 5

[Jukai]

Tou: Just when we were all set and ready to welcome the customers!

Wak: Today even more than usual, I will not forgive you for throwing a wet blanket over this pleasant mood!!

Uta: Yes, soba needs water, but a wet blanket is nonsense!!

Sek: I can feel a bit of hostility... but let's get this nuisance!

Anz: Several stardust are slowly coming from the front.

Ren: Hmph, Miroku deals with such weakling in one single strike.

Aka: Let's defeat them all at once after they get a little closer.

Yum: Let us stay on high alert until they do.

Yuz/Fuy: Got it!

Sek: You know, I've always thought the white things hanging from stardust looked a bit like udon, don't you think?

Kar: Hey, Sekka! Why are you saying stupid stuff like that on the battlefield!?

Sek: Sorry, sorry. Since we're just watching them, it came to mind like that. But it does look like udon.

Wak: T-That's not true at all! There's not the smallest hint of resemblance!

Tou: Yes, I would say it looks more like ramen.

Shi: Ramen... isn't white... this is Okinawa soba...

Nat: No. Okinawa soba is... much cuter!

Suz: Cute!?

Meb: I can't say I understand your opinion, however! To constantly dangle noodles is improper!

Uta: Right! Not eating them before they become soggy is a crime against noodles!!

Fuu: To mislead us under the traits of noodles lovers is inexcusable!

Kar: I have too many things to retort, it's impossible to keep up...

Anz: Enemies are entering range of fire! Everyone, get ready!

Yuu: Okay! Let's go! Yuusha~punch!!!

[Park]

Aya: You did well everyone. Is anyone hurt?

Gin: No! We were so motivated by Vertex noodles talk we finished them all easy peasy!

Hin: Vertex noodles...?

Wak: This and that happened, and so saying Vertexes had noodles hanging off of them has motivated everyone.

Kir: Ahahaha, Vertex noodles. Sounds gross but funny!

Kir: Good one, I would've wanted to go to the jukai to do a report.

Fuu: Alright, no more chatting! The customers are starting to come in!

Tou: I swear upon the title of menbassador to offer them the best service possible!

Sek/Wak/Nat/Uta: Ooh!


Ultimate showdown! Noodle festa - 6

[Park]

Yuu: Everyone! Come see the udon booth, recognized by the national udon association~!

Gin: I'll be the first to taste it! Mmh! Udon is the best~!!

Wak: Ooh! People who saw Gin's reaction are successively rushing in!

Gin: Ehehe, can I be a menbassador too?

Kir: With another menbassador in their ranks, the udon booth is predictably doing great!

Kir: Let's keep it up with the ramen booth! Tokushima Vs Asahikawa! What has resulted of this ramen war...!!

Sek: I recommended the cheap and fun, Tokushima-Asahikawa ramen comparative set!

SHI: You'll regret it your whole life if you don't have it!

Kir: Looks like they found a solution, Shizu-san's relieved~!

Kir: Now to the next booth~. Mh? This music...

Kir: At the Okinawa soba booth over here, people of all ages are just dancin' without eatin' noodles...

Kir: Is that really okay at a noodles event...?

Nat: Don't worry. They will all want Okinawa soba after they finish dancing Okinawa folk dances.

Kir: What an original marketin' strategy! Shizu-san's amazed by this~!

Kid 1: Aah! It's the ambassador onee-san! Please, your autograph!

Kir: Ambassador onee-san... Ya talkin' 'bout me!?

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yuyuyu/images/7/70/Card_image_304680.png

Kid 2: I watch you on My-Tube! Please, me too!

Kid 3: Take a photo with me!

Aka: Waah, Shizu-senpai is drawing in all the kids around here.

Yum: It is as if she was a popular My-Tuber.

Kir: Really though, Shizu-san's in shock at all the kids watchin' me!

Kid 1: Onee-chan, your autograph, hurry!

Kid 3: No, my photo first!

Kid 2: Me too! Onee-san!

Kir: Wait up! Relax kids! You gotta wait for your turn! Make a clean line!

Kids: Yes!!

Nat: That's an amazing line around Shizuka.

Aka: She might be more popular than any noodles booth.

Ren: Hmph, Miroku has admiration towards the demand for autographs surpassing my own.

Yum: We should have become not menbassadors, but menbassador ambassadors, it would seem.
