First Time Cheering

Towa
Alright then, I’m looking forward to our match.

Lilja
The theme song for the championship match is...

Ramona
'Transcend Lights'. If you translate it literally, it means something like 'transcending light'...

Hikari
Ah, this song! I really like it! It's beautiful and cool!

Towa
Finally, the 'Transcend Lights' difficulty level LUNATIC...

Towa
(This song I got weird quirks in the other day... But I watched the video Liliya took and memorised the finger movements...)

Towa
(If I stay calm, I should be able to at least compete.)

Towa
(...If I lose here, I'll get the gaming pad I wanted...)

Towa
(Will I lose on purpose? No, but...)

Lilja
...

Hikari
It's started! Go for it, Towa-chan!

Lilja
What's LUNATIC?

Hikari
It's the hardest one! It's difficult, mysterious, fun, and lots of other things!

Ramona
It's the most difficult one, fitting for the deciding match.

Towa
(A difficult song with 6/8 time, 6 buttons and a lever that goes all over the place... For now, I'll just calm down and deal with what comes my way.)

Towa
(It's tricky having to press all 6 buttons and use the button on the side too... If I was bigger, I could have reached it easily!)

Hikari
Amazing, amazing! Towa-chan and the other person have made no mistakes so far!

Ramona
The characters are moving left and right, and their hands are going everywhere, so it definitely is amazing...

Towa
Alright!

Towa
(I managed to get through the first one! I haven't made any mistakes so far, so it's looking good, right?)

Towa
(I made it to the simultaneous press zone too...time for a quick break.)

Towa
(My opponent's score is-)

Towa
(I'm winning! Good, good, I'll keep pulling away from him like this.)

Ramona
Oh, the music is getting exciting again!

Towa
If it keeps going like this, I'll win...

Lilja
Ah.

Hikari
She couldn't reach it!?

Towa
(I missed!)

Towa
(But I should still be ahead in the score...!)

Hikari
Hang in there, Towa-chan...!

Ramona
Are the scores even...?

Lilja
...

Towa
(There's no way I'm going to lose because of my physique! This isn't the time to lose on purpose.)

Towa
(I'm not going to lose after coming this far!)

Lilja
Hang in there, Towa...!

Towa
I'm sorry, I completely lost it in the second half.

Lilja
Yeah. I could tell by watching.

Towa
No, you shouldn’t say it so directly, should you?

Towa
(If I'd been able to get it there, would I have been able to concentrate in the second half...? No, but there were times when I made simple mistakes that had nothing to do with concentration...)

Towa
(...If I did it again, I definitely wouldn't miss there, and I might have a chance to win.)

Lilja
Towa.

Towa
What?

Lilja
Are you frustrated?

Towa
Of course. It wouldn't be a game if you weren't frustrated about losing.

Towa
I'll definitely win next time.

Towa
I'll somehow buy the hair dryer you promised online, so please forgive me. I raised your expectations and didn't get the results...sorry.

Towa
As for the gaming pad...it's bad for me to take it, so give it to someone else. There may not be any gamers at Gingaza, but you're a good person.

Lilja
No, you can have it. You were the runner up.

Towa
No, no, I lost, so I can't take it...

?
Um...!

Towa
Eh?

Hikari
Ah, the person who won just now!

DragonM
Yes, I'm DragonM. Thank you for earlier.

Towa
Ah, thank you for your kind words. Thank you from me too.

DragonM
I really enjoyed the final match! I didn't think I'd be able to get so excited at this tournament...

Towa
Thanks. I had fun too.

Ramona
Hey, Towa. You should be more polite.

Towa
Hey, shut up.

Towa
So, is that why you came to say hello?

DragonM
Yes! I wanted to thank you for letting me have such a good match at my last time.

Towa
Your last time?

DragonM
I'm sorry to get personal with you, but I'm actually planning on moving. Today was my last day to enter this arcade tournament.

Hikari
What! You're moving?

DragonM
That's right. I was a little sad to leave after today's match...

DragonM
But I was really happy to finally be able to play against someone at the same level as me! I've been lonely all this time...

DragonM
So, I don't know how to say this, but...

Ramona
What is this...?

Lilja
An Air Master hairdryer? Is this the prize for winning today?

DragonM
Yes. I only took part in today's event to make memories, so I didn't need a prize. It would have made my moving even more difficult!

DragonM
So, if you don't mind, please accept it.

Towa
......

Lilja
Towa?

Towa
Is that okay?

DragonM
Of course.

Towa
This is really expensive, you know?

DragonM
Then it’d be even more of a waste to not use it!

Towa
......Thank you. Keep up the good work.

DragonM
Thank you for giving me a good memory at the end. I'll do my best!
