Azekawa-kun, how are the mahorova BD Event preparations coming along?

Kinari Icon
Kinari

It is going well, Manager. The finer details are a work in progress, however——

With previous tour packages put into consideration, I was hoping to create an area where I can provide “comfort” to Master, as well as our guests that are afflicted with exhaustion.

——Chihiro enters the scene.

Chihiro

Ooooh, that sounds soooo nice~ Relaxation time with Kinyari♪!

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Chihiro?

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Soz for startling ya~ I just kinda happened to overhear the convo ‘s all!

But, but! A BD area made by Kinyari who’s just naturally suuuuuch a debuff remover?! Wonder what ex-paw-tations I should have?

Wait, what if Chii and everyone becomes like, ultra fluffy-wuffy and so sweet we’re like melting?!

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Hmm, well… This is only a metaphor of sorts, but I’m sure you’ll feel as light as a sponge cake and have a time as sweet as cream.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

As expected of Ev3ns’ Shortcake Sweetie♪ No doubt ‘bout the hype!

Speaking of that area! Won’t it be totes lit if Kinyari added like, his fav stuff there, too?

Kinari

My favorite things…?

Nayuki Icon
Nayuki

I agree, that sounds like a great suggestion. I believe Azekawa-kun’s fans would be delighted as well.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

FR, like?!

If you can experience your fav’s fav things, won’t your happiness gauge be fully maxed out? And when your heart’s full to the brim, all your body’s fatigue will go poof♪!

Kinari Icon
Kinari

I have learned something new. Thankies a whale lot for your fin-tastic vibes advice, Chihiro.1 This will surely help with further improving my proposal.

Chihiro Icon
Chihiro

Always great to help reel in some W’s~! Hope you land a real catch, Kinyari!

Nayuki Icon
Nayuki

There is still some time before the deadline, so please think it over.

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Understood. Thx so muchsies to you too, Manager.

I have been anticipating this!

Ron! Riichi, Seven Pairs2. Dora, dora… I will be receiving 6400 points.

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Ah…

Liguang Icon
Liguang

That discard just now was unlike you, Azekawa.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

That is true. If it were the usual you, you’d read the situation and discard cautiously.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Even though we are convening for the “Azekawa-san’s Birthday Celebration Mahjong Tournament Week” event with much love and good wishes for our mahjong comrade, too…

Liguang Icon
Liguang

You’re sitting here, but your doubts haven’t left you, have they?

Kinari Icon
Kinari

…That is right. In truth, I have been thinking of incorporating my favorite things for the mahorova BD event I had been developing. But——

The more I put these thoughts into order, I cannot comprehend a finalized decision. Even when I have other tasks to accomplish, I would suddenly be in a state of thinking about what to do about it.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

I see. Sorry for continuing the mahjong match without realizing it, Kinari. If you’d like, we can talk about this over together.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Yes, I agree. As they say, four heads are better than one, after all!

Kinari Icon
Kinari

I am grateful for your help.

Liguang Icon
Liguang

Still, your “favorite things”, huh. I suppose that means you have the freedom to choose…

Kinari Icon
Kinari

For me, all my experiences with HAMA Tours have been basically classified as things I do ‘like’.

As such, referencing everything into a single BD area might make mahorova’s system experience performance drop in quality.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Truly, a BIG LOVE strong enough to cause lag! I’m sure the Chief would be very happy to know that Azekawa-san is making such cherished memories.

Liguang Icon
Liguang

To put it in another way, you have too many favorites to sort through.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Then, how about excluding people and events, and narrowing it down to only tangible things? Other supporting keywords may serve as conditions to filter things out as well.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

Conditions… Something around the likes of adding ‘important things’ to those he considers his ‘favorite’?

Kinari Icon
Kinari

…I see—

(Applying filters and commencing database search… 4 results found.)

Kinari Icon
Kinari

The kaleidoscope Master had gifted me.

The chair inside my room. A fluffy cake. The Yokohama City Anthem.

Singing is not a tangible object by any means, yet… It does not disappear no matter how many times I change the filters.

Liguang Icon
Liguang

Then, it must be something you can’t live without. It’s not something you should free your hands of.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

If it’s only that much, you can come up with a great idea if you’d like to combine all of them into one.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

I concur. What is destined to happen, will happen. Even if it is all over the place at first, the pieces will surely fit like puzzles, should it be fated.

Kinari Icon
Kinari

(A “comforting” space containing… That kaleidoscope. As well as that chair, fluff, the Yokohama City Anthem——)

Kinari

......!

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

The look on your face is screaming "EUREKA!”, Azekawa-san.

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Yes. I am grateful to you, everyone. Because of your assistance, details of my plans have fallen into place.

With this, I should be able to submit my proposal to the Manager by tomorrow afternoon.

Yodaka Icon
Yodaka

That’s good. …Yeah. Moreover, you look much brighter than before.

Sakujiro Icon
Sakujiro

Well then, shall we resume the match now that your worries have settled?

Image
Liguang Icon
Liguang

Right. Don’t let us down with this next round, Azekawa.

Kinari Icon
Kinari

Understood. I will do everything in my power to meet your expectations.

——Let us begin the second round.

  1. There’s no way to translate these 1:1, so I opted for a string of sea-related puns form of localization instead. In the original, Kinari says あざまる水産 which is a slang that expresses gratitude. Chihiro replies with 大漁旗よいちょまる〜, a continuation to what Kinari has said. The full thing is あざまる水産よいちょまる! The root of this term all has something to do with seafood, and even originates from an izakaya chain restaurant (Isomaru Fisheries). 大漁旗 specifically refers to fishing flags. These flags are put up mainly to pray for a good harvest! TL;DR: GyaruExpa are wishing each other the best.

  2. The second half uses a lot of Riichi Mahjong terminology. I’ll leave this link for anyone interested in learning more! It’s a very condensed and comprehensive post and also what I used as a reference. Basically, what Kinari does is he messes up the timing on discarding some tiles, allowing Sakujiro to sweep in and declare his win.
