Welcome to the Abode of the Genius! (Part 2)

Towa
(Oh man, why am I having to take care of them when I’m the one who’s supposed to be being taken care of!?)

Towa
(I had an image of Gingaza being mature, but they’re subverting my expectations...? Anyway, I'm tired.)

Ramona
Towa, sorry to keep you waiting. I've bought you a drink.

Towa
Oh, it's coke. Thanks.

Lilja
I'll give you this too. Use it.

Towa
What's this...? A hoodie...?

Lilja
I found it in the store. Fluffy pyjamas that turn you into a raccoon.

Towa
There's stuff like this? You can never have too many pyjamas, but why did you get me one?

Lilja
You were using a raccoon character at the Ongeki tournament, right? I thought it would suit you.

Hikari
Are you talking about the raccoon character, Arisu-chan in the shooter dress?

Hikari
Ha ha, you're right, it does look like that costume!

Towa
...Hmm, you were actually paying more attention than I thought then? Thank you for buying it.

Towa
...Well, since we're here, why don't we go and see the raccoons at the end?

Hikari
The zoo was great, wasn't it? I'd like to go again.

Towa
The raccoons were so cute, washing the food so intently.

Lilja
Yeah. I felt a sense of familiarity with such clean animals.

Ramona
Where are we going next? Towa said she had somewhere she wanted to go, didn't she?

Towa
Ah, right. I'd like you to come with me for a bit.

Lilja
There are lots of pictures of strong people in this cafe. Pro-wrestlers?

Ramona
Yeah. The decorations look like they're inspired by a wrestling ring.

Towa
It's a collaboration cafe. They have a set of my favourite wrestler.

Lilja
The one you were talking about before, El...?

Towa
El Dragon Mask. Did I ever tell you about him? I’d rather not go alone.

Towa
Oh, it's not lunchtime yet, so everyone ordered food, right? Give me all the bonus cards!

Ramona
So that was your goal. I understand.

Hikari
I'm so hungry!

Lilja
Salad and boiled chicken, there's a surprisingly healthy menu.

Towa
Surprisingly... Well, I'm glad you can eat it.

Ramona
Sorry, Towa. We were all so hyperactive today, even though we took you here to thank you.

Towa
You were aware of that... It's fine if you don't want to thank me, but I didn't actually win you know.

Towa
I had fun playing Ongeki. It was just a coincidence that I got that hairdryer...

Lilja
That's not true, it's thanks to Towa. You looked so cool at the tournament.

Ramona
Yeah, you really are good at games. It was the right choice to leave it to you. You’re amazing.

Towa
W-Well, I guess I am pretty amazing...?

Towa
The 'DragonM' guy I fought in the tournament was really strong. I don't get the chance to play against players like that very often, so it was really interesting.

Ramona
Hmmm, Towa is really reliable. She's not afraid to take on strong opponents and he enjoys the challenge.

Towa
I think all gamers are like that. You improve by having fun.

Ramona
Hmm, I guess so. I wish a certain someone could hear that...

Towa
What was that?

Ramona
Oh, nothing.

Waiter
Thank you for waiting. Here are your jumping cream soda and pancakes.

Towa
Here they come! They look delicious.

Ramona
My curry rice is here too. This is a huge portion...

Waiter
Thank you for waiting. Here is your steak, hamburger steak and chicken saute.

Hikari
Wow, it looks delicious! I’ve got to eat it while it's still hot!

Towa
Geh? Is all this for you...?

Hikari
That's right! I walked a lot at the zoo, so I need to replenish my energy!

Lilja
Ugh... I feel full just looking at it...

Hikari
Om nom...mmm, it's so juicy and delicious!

Ramona
Hahaha, Hikari always eats so well.

Towa
Is this how much you usually eat!? You eat as much as a competitive eater!?

Hikari
The dessert looked delicious too, so I'm going to eat some more. Oh, I'll give all the cards to Towa-chan!

Towa
O-Oh, yeah...

Towa
(I can get a lot of cards, but...the people in Gingaza are seriously eccentric...!)
