Towa
Look, how's my anti-air! Ah, they got through! Sneaky~, ughhh! Block in time!!!
Iroha
Whoa, what intensity...
Tsubomi
You're being loud, Motosu. It's a public place, so you should restrain yourself a bit...
Towa
Huh? It's a game centre, so trash talk is expected. Besides, the people here at year end are all fired up, look.
Game Center Customer
"Huh!? That didn't hit!!!" "Sorry! Teammates, sorry, sorry!!!"
Kamira
Ah, well...everyone looks like they're having fun, right? I can feel how absorbed they are.
Mito
Yeah. But just changing floors changes the atmosphere quite a bit...
Towa
Of course~. The prize area on the first floor and the photo booth on the third floor are different.
Towa
This is the video game booth on basement level 1...in other words, the underground within the game centre!
Kamira
Ooh! That sounds...cool?
Tsubomi
That's an illusion, get a hold of yourself, Akiru. Resist the 'call from the abyss'!
Towa
It's the year end and New Year period, so I came to finish off 'Fighting Actress' for the year before the new year!
Iroha
I see...Towa-chan, you're really good. There's a title called 'Apex' that's sparkling!
Towa
Oh, Iroha, you've got sharp eyes~.
Towa
This is...wait, oh no!!??
Mito
Towa-chan?
Towa
This guy, the attacks suddenly got fierce...wait, screen edge!? I'm getting trapped! I'm getting trapped!!!
Towa
Damn...! Ahhhh!!! Using a meta character and teabagging!? What is this! Don't come to ranked with infinite combos at the year end!!!
Towa
Don't you escape! One more time! This time I won't lose, I'll make you realise it's not you, it's the character that's strong!
Mito
A-Ahaha...Towa-chan probably won't be able to talk for a while.
Tsubomi
Yeah, she's completely seeing red.
Kamira
Speaking of which, didn't the crane game on the first floor have New Year limited mitarashi dango[1] flavoured snacks?
Iroha
Now that you mention it, they did~. Game centre snacks are nice, right? They're large volume so they come in handy when everyone from Denki gathers.
Mito
That's right. Still, mitarashi dango flavour...I'm curious about it, maybe?
Tsubomi
Then how about we go get it now? Motosu probably can't talk for a while anyway.
Towa
Here, throw! And then~, throw!!! Come on come on, at this rate it'll turn into judo, is that okay~???
Iroha
Seems like it...well then, let's see how much money it takes to get it!
Kamira
Sounds good~, interesting!
Mito
Yeah...! Still, mitarashi dango...heh heh, I'm looking forward to the mochi pounding we're doing after this.
Tsubomi
Yeah, that's right. If possible, could we get some mochi? I was just thinking about making ozoni.
Kamira
Of course! Wait, senpai's ozoni!? I'm super interested! Eh, I wanna try it!
Kamira
Senpai! Can I visit your house sometime during the first three days!?
Tsubomi
Ah, yeah...I didn't expect you to latch onto that so much. Your words make me happy, but it's not that impressive.
Iroha
Knowing you, Tsubomi-san, even as you say that, you'll probably make delicious ozoni~.
Kamira
I know~! Or rather, just visiting senpai's house is exciting!
Tsubomi
I-Is that so...? I'd like to try Shiromaru's family's ozoni though.
Mito
Eh!? M-Mito's!?
Iroha
I get it~! Mito-chan's family's ozoni would definitely be delicious~!
Iroha
Ah, this is the crane game! Let's end the conversation here...and focus on getting snacks!
Mito
Y-Yeah! Good luck, Iroha-chan...!
Iroha
Heh heh heh♪ Hmm hmm hmmm♪
Kamira
I'm really glad we didn't have to spend much money to get it~. Irocchi, aren't you good at crane games?
Iroha
Heh heh heh, I do crane games a lot! I'm used to it!!!
Mito
So far, you've completed all the Karyuu prizes, right, Iroha-chan.
Towa
Hahhh~, I feel awful. They won and ran away...hahhh.
Tsubomi
I understand it didn't go well, but don't dwell on it, Motosu. What's important is how you move forward in the new year.
Towa
I know, but...hahhh. Well, whatever...it's not like I can never play the game again.
Towa
Besides, once the year changes, there'll be a patch and that infinite combo won't work anymore. It's been making noise online too...heh heh, they can feel like they won all they want!
Kamira
Really, I'm looking forward to next year in many ways. Wait, huh? Isn't that over there...
Everyone in Sirius
Hahhh...
Kamira
Isn't that Kokonyan and the others!?
