Akito
Ugh... Ena... Asking me to do something completely pointless just as I'm about to head out the door...

*Footsteps*
Toya
Oh, that was somebody from a pro gaming agency. They just happened to be at the gaming tournament the other day and asked me if I was interested in playing professionally.


Manager
K-Kusanagi's building faster than her teammate, Otori, was just a moment ago...


Manager
But Aoyagi's on a completely different level! He's dropping Puyo's into place the second they appear on the screen! I-It's impossible to see what's going on!!


Student in the Audience
Wh-What's going on? Is he beginning to panic or something?!


Man in the Audience
No, he's dropping them into all the right spots. Not only that, but if he gets this chain to go off, we're going to see something even more ridiculous than we just did...

*Footsteps*

We're The Best A
Hm? Isn't that...?


We're The Best B
Hey, it's Willow & Cloud. Fancy seeing you guys here...


We're The Best A
Yeah, that's us. We've been coming here in the hopes that we'd run into you guys, and it finally happened.


We're The Best B
Isn't it obvious? We owe you a debt.


We're The Best A
You know, because of what happened during the gaming tournament...?


We're The Best B
So, um... We'd like to play against you guys again. Fair and square this time.

Akito
(And I think they're telling the truth. It looks like they learned their lesson after what they tried to pull during the tournament.)


Spectator A
Hm...? Weren't they in that tournament the other day?


Spectator B
Whoa, cool! You think they're gonna have a rematch?


We're The Best A
That's all good. We understand... Maybe next time.


We're The Best B
You guys can always ask us too. We're usually here whenever we have free time.


Spectator A
Hey, We're The Best! Can I ask you guys for a match if you guys are free?


We're The Best A
Heh. Someone sounds confident. Alright, you're on.


Spectator B
Good luck!

*Crowd Chattering*

Junior High Schooler A
Go, 5-chain, go!


Junior High Schooler B
Noooo! If only I got a Red Puyo! Then my chain would've gone off!


High Schooler A
Whoa, check this out! This booth lets you do so much! I'm gonna give myself some eyelash extensions!


High Schooler B
Haha! No one's gonna recognize you if you edit yourself that much!

Toya
This atmosphere. It's similar to what you feel on Vivid Street. There's an air of fun but it's also soothing.

Akito
Yeah. They mostly do EDM stuff, but they also produce some chiptune music on the side and were asked to do that for this game.

Toya
Also, the characters in this game are very cute. It's as if they were all designed to look like animals...

Akito
From what I remember, the story for this game's about them joining together to protect the jungle they all live in from aliens.

Toya
Considering an artist you like worked on the music for this game, Akito, I was under the impression that it'd be more realistic, you know...?

Akito
But I had a feeling that you'd be okay with this game since it had more of an anime feel to it. I mean, the villains are aliens.

*Rustling*
Akito
Okay, we start by choosing our characters. What do we have? A monkey, an owl, a tiger, a koala, a panda, an alligator...?

Toya
Based on its character description, it seems to be very hardy and resilient. Furthermore, you can use its skills to protect your allies.


*Explosions*
Toya
Wait, Akito, look. Our friends are that owl and alligator. They're jumping up and down while waving their hands.

Akito
I wasn't sure if we'd make it at first, but luckily, none of the enemies were very smart or mobile.

Toya
Yes, they are. The alligator's a strong attacker that can charge in and break enemy formations while the owl provides support fire from the rear. They're each playing a clear role.

Akito
The owl in particular isn't doing anything flashy, but it really seems to know what it's doing.

Akito
It hits anything that tries to flank us and even guides enemies towards us in a way that makes it easy for us to take them out.

*Explosions*
Nene
I was worried that we wouldn't make it at first, but I'm glad that wolf and panda were so good...

Emu
Yeah! They even came to the rescue when that alien stepped on my alligator's tail and kept me from bouncing up and down!

Akito
Why don't we chat with them for a bit? I mean, we worked pretty hard to bring down that gigantic boss.
