[...That sounds... almost dangerous.]

...Nah. [Instead, she pops open Nanami's presents and starts eating.] Let's start playing! [And there she is, grabbing the pieces with sticky hands.

Fast forward one game later...]

[ ...Well, better luck next time, Saionji. You did try, though! Nanami seems to have enjoyed herself, anyway. ]

...Shall we go again?

[Saionji was pretty damn sure she got Nanami cornered, so the last few moves that completely turned the tide and pinned her down definitely shocked her. Anyone could see it from her aghast face.

And while Saionji was laughing and giggling about how she was winning so easily, Nanami kept a perfect poker face before destroying her completely... what kind of sorcery was this?!]

Wh- you're lying, aren't you?! Someone must have taught you before! I'm pretty sure only professionals can confidently pull off that technique!

No...like I said, I've only played console versions of the game before...

[ ...But it's still a game she's played, which is the problem. It's easiest to beat Nanami at a game she hasn't played, and at that point it'd better not be a video game, because those are her specialty. ]

It just seemed like a good move to make...

[...You know, this is the kind of time Saionji wishes she was SHSL Dancer and not just SHSL Classical Japanese Dancer. The full extent of expansive SHSLs was painful to experience, when she could only dance in a specific area. Of course, her dancing talent is extraordinary and she can easily master any, but...

...instant gratification does sound nice.]

W-waaaaah! That's not fair!

[ ...

This reminds her of that time she utterly crushed Souda. ]

...Should I have a handicap next time?

No! I don't want to play against you anymore!

[...

...Actually... what would Big Sis Koizumi say...]

...Teach me. Whatever you already know!

Teach you...? Sure, I don't mind.

[ Nanami is nothing if not accommodating and patient when it comes to teaching people about games. She somehow even managed to teach Tsumiki. ]

It'll be fun...

Yay! Thanks, Big Sis Nanami!

[Managed to teach Tsumiki? Holy shit, Nanami.

Turns out that when she's focused on something, she can actually learn pretty fast. Too bad, she loses focus halfway through.]

...My head hurts. Let's do something else!

[ It's okay, few people have Nanami's single-minded focus regarding games. ]

Sure...what would you like to do? Should we go get snacks or something...?

Yay! Snacks! Let's get snacks!

[AND SHE DRAGS NANAMI TO GO RAID THE FRIDGE is there even anything good in here]

Ah, okay...

[ SHE'S NOT A FAST MOVER USUALLY, but okay.

Well, there do seem to be cupcakes...wonder who those belong to. ]

[Ew no cupcakes suck]

Nothing good in here... let's go out and buy sweets! [GET ALL THE DISCOUNT CHRISTMAS SNACKS] It's a Chinese thing, but... I want to eat a sugar painting!

A sugar painting...? I've never had one. I'd be okay with going out to buy one.

[Goldenrod City has a ton of stuff on sale, especially during Christmas.

Unfortunately, it's all. Well. Christmas stuff.]

Why is everything all that uncultured Western trash?! I want real snacks! [What a great way to celebrate Christmas.]

[ The best way. Nanami is currently looking at a really kitschy pikachu-shaped chocolate...

...and pikachu-sized. Um. ]

Well, some of it does seem to be a bit much...

[Chocolate... wasn't her favorite, but it could do now. HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET THAT, THOUGH...]

You should've bought white chocolate. [white chocolate isn't even chocolate saionji] If you say so, though, I'll be taking some off your hands now! Teehee...

[ SHE WAS JUST LOOKING AND THEN... ]

I like white chocolate...at least, I think it tastes sweet.

White chocolate is so much better! Dark chocolate too, I guess. Either have enough cacao solids or none at all!

If made well, it's creamy, melt-in-the-mouth, like real chocolate, but better. Nothing like the chunky, sugary abominations mass-produced in plastic wrappers.

[BEST KIND OF IMPULSE BUY, OBVIOUSLY.]

[ it's unclear why anyone lets Nanami manage her own money. ]

...You have pretty passionate feelings about chocolate, huh? Are you going to make some in February...?

[Saionji too.]

As if there's anyone worthy of anything from me here! [she really just doesn't have any idea how to make chocolate but SHHHHH]

Friend chocolates...I think...people sometimes make those...?

[ Look she didn't play a lot of dating sims.

Or didn't do well on them, at least. ]

Who cares about that, anyway? It's been bastardized and commercialized into oblivion. [The last part was uncharacteristic of her to say-] Let's go home! I'm tired.

[SWIFT TOPIC CHANGE ABILITIES ACTIVATE]

Has it...? I see. Does that mean you don't want any...?

[ That was to herself because wow that sure was a topic change. ]

Okay, okay...is there anything else you needed while we're out, or is that enough...?

That's enough! Accommodating you here is tiring, anyway.

[saionji weren't you the one who-] Merry Christmas! If a holiday-turned-business-day is considered merry. [And then she just. Starts trudging home.]
