Akito
More importantly, who were you talking to just now? What was that about an invitation...?
Toya
Oh, that was somebody from a pro gaming agency. They just happened to be at the gaming tournament the other day and asked me if I was interested in playing professionally.

K-Kusanagi's building faster than her teammate, Otori, was just a moment ago...
Manager
But Aoyagi's on a completely different level! He's dropping Puyo's into place the second they appear on the screen! I-It's impossible to see what's going on!!
Student in the Audience
Wh-What's going on?
Is he beginning to panic or something?!
Is he beginning to panic or something?!
Man in the Audience
No, he's dropping them into all the right spots. Not only that, but if he gets this chain to go off, we're going to see something even more ridiculous than we just did...

Isn't it obvious?
We owe you a debt.

You know, because of what happened during the gaming tournament...?

(I thought I was just imagining things, but they do seem a bit more... Mature, I guess?)
Akito
(And I think they're telling the truth.
It looks like they learned their lesson after what they tried to pull during the tournament.)

Hm...?
Weren't they in that tournament the other day?

Whoa, cool! You think they're gonna have a rematch?
We're The Best A
That's all good. We understand...
Maybe next time.

Can I ask you guys for a match if you guys are free?

Toya
Yes. Based on their current behavior, I have a feeling that their cheating days are over.
Junior High Schooler A
Go, 5-chain, go!
Junior High Schooler B
Noooo! If only I got a Red Puyo! Then my chain would've gone off!
High Schooler A
Whoa, check this out!
This booth lets you do so much! I'm gonna give myself some eyelash extensions!

This atmosphere. It's similar to what you feel on Vivid Street. There's an air of fun but it's also soothing.
Akito
Anyway, we don't have much time left until practice, so let's do what we came here to do.
