1

Manager

Alright, we have the Wonderhoy Button Mashers against Willow & Cloud! Who do you think is going to win?!

2

Nene

(Come to think of it, I don't actually know how good Aoyagi and Shinonome are at video games...)

3

Nene

(I bumped into them in front of an arcade this one time but I've never heard him ever talk about playing video games...)

4

Nene

(So, in the event Emu loses, I should still be able to cover for her... Which means we should be able to secure a win here.)

5

Manager

Okay, let's hear from each team about how they feel going into this round!

6

Emu

Oh, oh!
I'm all smiles and ready to go☆

7

Manager

It's wonderful to see that you're so excited! Next, let's hear from Shinonome!

8

Akito

Um...

9

Akito

I promise to do my best while playing fair and square.

10

Akito

Please, go easy on me...

11

Emu

Huh?!

12

Emu

Wh-Why's he acting so different now?!

13

Nene

That's just what he's like...

14

Toya

(I was worried about this gaming tournament possibly getting the best of him since it isn't like the events we usually do... But well done, Akito.)

15

Akito

(They entered this tournament because they also want to win the prize. They don't really seem like the gaming type.)

16

Akito

(I'm not much of a gamer either, but I did practice a bit to prepare for this...)

17

Akito

(Including playing some Puyo Puyo...
I got good enough to beat the computer, so I should be able to manage.)

18

Manager

Okay, let's begin!

Man in the Audience

Sh-She's dropping them so fast!

Sound Effect: Play

23

Manager

Oh, Otori from the Wonderhoy Button Mashers is dropping Puyos so quickly that no one can see what's going on!

24

Nene

(She mentioned that she'd played this with Shosuke before, but she's setting up chains like a pro...! Way to go, Emu...!)

25

Nene

(We might just have this in the bag...)

26

Manager

As for Willow & Cloud...!

27

Akito

Grr... You've gotta be kidding me...!

(No, I'll be fine.
Just clear away the Garbage Puyos one by one...)

Toya

Akito, you should be building longer chains. You won't be able to send over many Garbage Puyos by just going for two at a time.

33

Akito

I know, but I'm having trouble getting the chains I want...

34

Akito

But this worked during practice, so I should be okay.

35

Toya

Practice?

36

Akito

Huh? Uh... Ignore that.

37

Nene

(Shinonome seems like the slow and steady type. I really wasn't expecting him to play like this...)

38

Nene

(However, that's not how you win in PvP battles. I mean, the best part about Puyo Puyo is...)

39

Homemaker in the Audience

I don't understand. Aren't you supposed to line up as many balls of the same color in the game? That girl just seems to be blindly stacking them up.

40

Man in the Audience

Oh, don't you know that it's actually not a good idea to pop them one by one? Based on what she's doing, this show's just getting started...

41

Emu

Heh heh heh. Everything's in place...

Here comes the big one!

Wow!
Otori's going for a massive chain!
How many is that?! Three, four... It's still going!

45

Toya

Akito, you need to negate this by popping some big chains.

46

Akito

Negate this?! I can't build chains that fast!

Otori's done it!!
A clean 6-chain!!

49

Akito

What?!
My screen's almost completely filled up!

50

Toya

Hurry. You need to get rid of these as quickly as you can.

51

Akito

That's easier said than done.
I have almost no space to work with on my screen!

Nothing will come of spinning Puyos around so fast.

54

Emu

Woohoo!!
They went, “Oh no...!!”

55

Manager

The first match goes to Otori of the Wonderhoy Button Mashers! Talk about winning with style!

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

56

Akito

Sorry, Toya, I couldn't win...

57

Toya

No, that's okay.
I wasn't expecting Otori to be so good either.

58

Toya

But we'll get the next one.
Just leave it to me.

59

Akito

Right. I'm counting on you...

60

Emu

Yay! I won!
Puyo Puyo's so much fun☆

61

Nene

Nice work, Emu.
I didn't realize you were so good at this game.

62

Emu

Hehe. Shosuke and I played a lot because he'd always ask for a rematch whenever I won!

63

Emu

So, Nene, good luck with the next match!

64

Nene

Right.
We need to capitalize on this chance and expand our lead.

65

Manager

Alright, let's move to our second match! We have Kusanagi from the Wonderhoy Button Mashers versus Aoyagi from Willow & Cloud!

66

Nene

Hm...?

67

Nene

(Aoyagi's player ID...
Why does it seem so familiar?)

68

Emu

Is something bothering you, Nene?

69

Nene

Oh, no... It's nothing...

70

Nene

(I remember seeing someone with a similar name in the rankings for something before... Anyway I need to focus on this match.)

71

Manager

And... Begin!

(What's going on with Aoyagi's screen...?!)

75

Manager

K-Kusanagi's building faster than her teammate, Otori, was just a moment ago...

76

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!!

77

Student in the Audience

Wh-What's going on?
Is he beginning to panic or something?!

78

Man in the Audience

No, he's dropping them into all the right spots. Not only that, if he gets this chain to go off, we're going to see something even more ridiculous than we just did...

79

Nene

No...!

Nene

(I-I've gotta find a way to do something about this...! If I get hit with a huge chain now, I'm...!)

88

Woman in the Audience

Th-This is incredible...

89

Man in the Audience

There's a Star Garbage Puyo waiting to drop... If she doesn't find a way to get rid of it, then she's...

90

Nene

(I'm slowly chipping away at it, but...!)

91

Nene

No, I'm not gonna make it in time...!

Oh nooo!
It's raining Garbage Puyos!

Toya

That's it for Kusanagi from the Wonderhoy Button Mashers! Aoyagi from Willow & Cloud wins!

95

Nene

N-No way...

96

Toya

Thank goodness...
I was worried that she'd be able to clear it away, but I'm glad it ended up working.

97

Akito

That's one win and one loss.
How do we deal with ties again?

98

Emu

Oh, in case there's a tie, the manager said that the team with the highest number of points in total wins!

99

Nene

That means this one goes to...

Manager

The winner of the second match...
The one that will advance to the finals is...

Manager

Willow & Cloud!

Toya

Yes...!
