Quaquaversal Movie Theatre Good Morning, Foresight Good Morning, Foresight [Toki Onjoji](...)
[Toki Onjoji](...Urgh... What's that clicking and clacking sound...?)
[Toki Onjoji](...Why does it sound like the shuffling of Mahjong tiles?)
[Toki Onjoji](...Mahjong?!)
After opening her eyes, she was relieved to see that she wasn't greeted by the dazzling lights of the tournament venue.
[Toki Onjoji]...P-phew.
The familiar feeling she has just experienced after falling into the darkness makes her think she had fainted again during a game.
She rubs her eyes and looks around her before her eyes stop in the direction of the Mahjong table.
She recognizes three of the five other people in the room.
The fashionable-looking one was Ako Atarashi who played against her teammate; the smirking one was the lieutenant of Kiyosumi High School; and if she remembered correctly, the one with the friendly face finished in first place in the individual competition of Nagano prefecture. As for the other two...
[Toki Onjoji](A rabbit and... a dog?)
The woman wearing bunny ears and the giant stuffed plushie sitting in the position to her right makes Toki's groggy mind even more confused. She takes a deep breath to calm herself down and work out what was going on...
[Mihoko Fukuji]Ron.
[Kaguyahime]Eh... Haven't you abandoned the win to focus on defense?!
[Wanjirou](She switched from an open wait for either side of 4 & 5 Sou to a Dual Paired wait, woof? Did this little lady break the sequence to target the rabbit, woof?)
[Ako Atarashi]Miss Fukuji, you're as alert as ever about other people's tricks... Oh, you're awake, Miss Onjoji.
After a round of greetings, Toki hears about how she ended up here from the others.
[Toki Onjoji]I'm so sorry for bothering you. I came out for a walk because I thought I was a lot better, but I guess I was still pushing it...
[Ako Atarashi]Where's Miss Shimizudani? Why didn't she come with you?
[Toki Onjoji]Umm... I came out secretly. I was thinking of giving them a surprise by going on a stroll by myself.
[Toki Onjoji]W-what should I do? Ryuka is definitely going to be angry when she hears that I fainted again outside...
[Ako Atarashi]...What's done is done. I'll go back with you later. Just tell them I asked you out to go shopping.
[Toki Onjoji]Really? Thank you! I'll buy you some food later.
[Wanjirou]This Hanchan is over. We'll mark the points and start the next one, woof.
[Kaguyahime]I... I'm a little tired. I'm not at my best today... Why hasn't that cat returned yet...?
[Kaguyahime]Little Redhead, why don't you take my spot? No one will see it, so it won't hurt to get a little creative with the rules.
[Hisa Takei]Although I really want to take your place on the table, I really should be more prudent. Sorry about that.
[Kaguyahime]Tsk, so inflexible... The girl who just woke up, you know how to play Mahjong, right? I've warmed up this seat for you. Why don't you play?
[Wanjirou]I'm afraid your seat is as cold as ice after your taking the last place in a row. That girl obviously isn't feeling very well. Don't make a sick person your scapegoat, woof.
[Toki Onjoji]It's okay, I can play.
[Kaguyahime]Muhaha! See? Stupid dog! No one asked for your opinion. She can't wait to take my warm and comfy seat.
[Mihoko Fukuji]Are you sure? It would be better if you get more rest.
[Toki Onjoji]It's okay, I feel a lot better after sleeping.
[Toki Onjoji]I haven't touched any tiles recently, so I want to get back my feel in a game.
[Ako Atarashi]...Don't force yourself, okay?
Ako sighs inwardly after seeing Toki sit down.
[Ako Atarashi](It was hard enough dealing with Miss Fukuji's iron-tight defense, and now I have to deal with Miss Onjoji too. I can't play like it's a casual game now...)
[Ako Atarashi]Chii!
[Kaguyahime]Isn't it better to wait a little longer with this open wait?
[Ako Atarashi]Pon!
[Wanjirou](Woof? This little girl was using the closed hand strategy before. Why did she suddenly up the pace?)
[Mihoko Fukuji]...I better retreat.
[Hisa Takei](Mihoko is discarding safe tiles from her hand... which means Miss Atarashi already has Tenpai.)
Hisa is correct. After one round, Ako pushes down her tiles.
[Ako Atarashi]Tsumo! All Simples, Mixed Triple Sequence, Dora 2, that's 7,700 points.
[Wanjirou]Those tiles look very soothing, woof. Ichihime really needs to learn from you. Playing an All Simples hand isn't about throwing the tiles around vigorously like she usually does.
[Ako Atarashi]Miss Kaguyahime was right, I could wait a little longer with this these tiles, but...
[Wanjirou]But what?
[Ako Atarashi]Nothing. It's my turn to be the dealer.
Although well-paced tile calls are the greatest feature of Ako Atarashi's game, she increased the speed as a precaution against the person who just joined the game.
[Toki Onjoji]...
[Ako Atarashi](To stop Miss Onjoji, all I can do is to win as soon as possible to increase my advantage before she starts taking action.)
After grabbing a tile, Ako scans it and sees a hand with 1 complete Mentsu and 2 good Tenpai options. Although she doesn't have a pair yet, she is happy with what she has.
[Ako Atarashi](Very good, this hand isn't bad as the dealer. I'll tile call first and attack quickly to keep my position as the dealer.)
[Toki Onjoji]Riichi.
[Ako Atarashi]Eh? O-oh no...
[Mihoko Fukuji](Toki Onjoji... If I remember correctly, her Riichi...
[Hisa Takei](Like Saki, she's a very special girl.)
[Toki Onjoji]Tsumo.
[Kaguyahime]Ehhh?! Is this for real? She managed an Ippatsu Tsumo with such a lousy Tenpai?!
[Ako Atarashi]My... My dealer round...
And now for the next...
[Toki Onjoji]...Riichi.
[Wanjirou]Woof woof?! Again?! Also how does that point stick stay upwards like that? Woof...
No one can change fate.
