This tournament was off the hook!
I wish I was here from the start!

Yeah, that showdown in the end was awesome too! I had no idea that a pot could deflect bullets like that, and that girl was such a good shot.
Audience
Also, I didn't realize that there was an arcade here. I might start coming here more often since it has so much to offer.
Manager
Okay, let me get this straight.
You two decided to cheat to win because of the tickets that were up on offer as the prize?

We're The Best A
With those VIP passes, we would've been guaranteed a chance to play this new PvP game ahead of its release. Normally, we'd have to draw straws for spots...
We're The Best B
We wanted to play it before anybody else...
Emu
I mean, video games are all about people having fun, right? If one person cheats, it sorta ruins it for everyone else...
Manager
I agree...
We all experience moments when we have trouble winning or clearing a stage.

Manager
However, isn't there fun in figuring out an honest way to overcome said challenge?
Manager
I believe that's what really makes video games so enjoyable. As gamers, you did something rather disgraceful.
We're The Best A
But...
Toya
In my case, I may be good at Puyo Puyo, but I didn't feel too confident about the last game we played since it's not a genre I'm very familiar with and couldn't move around all that well...
Toya
Regardless, I had fun during the last round. That includes both the showdown I had with Kusanagi and our skirmish against you...

What...?
Nene
I would've been ecstatic if I'd somehow found a way to come out on top without cheating after being thrown into that sort of 2-vs-1 situation.
Nene
Even someone like me probably would've felt a little proud of figuring out a solution all on my own...
We're The Best A
Right...
We're The Best A
You guys are right...
At some point, we'd completely forgotten about what makes video games fun.

I'm sorry. I promise to never do anything like this again. I'll play fair and square next time.
We're The Best B
I'm sorry too...
Sir, I apologize for all the trouble we caused.

Manager
As long as you understand...
Based on what I saw during the last round, it's clear that you two genuinely love video games and have a deep knowledge of them.

Manager
So, you'll always be welcome here as long as that love persists. Come back whenever you like...
We're The Best
Th-Thank you...
Manager
Now then. I believe it's about time the winners of this tournament received their reward...
Manager
Congratulations...
Wonderhoy Button Mashers!

Toya
Yes, but we have to accept the fact that we lost and give up on seeing that team's performance.
Manager
Hmm...
Well, in that case...
Well, in that case...
Manager
Why don't I give your team my VIP passes, Aoyagi?
Manager
So, this person who knows a lot about the industry gave me four passes as a way to see what's trending or going on right now. But I'd much prefer it if you went to see that performance instead.
Manager
Don't mind me.
I'm sure I'll get another chance in the future if I stay in this line of work. More importantly, you helped make this day absolutely unforgettable.

Manager
Yes. To see my grandfather's store filled with customers, and to see them all smiling... I never thought such a day would ever come.
Manager
I have all of you to thank for that, so please, take these as a small token of my appreciation.
Akito
But I feel kinda bad about receiving the same gift as the winners of this tournament...
Manager
In that case, I'll additionally award our winners some one-year all-you-can-play passes!
Manager
Yes, of course!
Please feel free to play any new titles as well as any that are released in the future. Just give me a shout and I'll power them up.

Woohoo!
I might start coming here every day! There are just so many games that I wanna try out!!

Um, Aoyagi.
I'm gonna practice playing Puyo Puyo a ton, so I want us to have a rematch someday.

I'm sorry that we didn't get to talk much. You went out of your way to see us, but there so much stuff happened and...
Miku
<Hehe. You seemed to have a lot of fun too☆ I could tell that you really love playing video games!>
Nene
When I was all alone and too scared of doing shows, video games were sort of what kept me going...
Nene
Back then, I played so much that I'd sometimes put myself down by saying, “Quit running! Get a grip on reality!”
Nene
But I had a lot of fun today, and I'm really glad that everybody was smiling in the end.
