[So I somehow blanked out on this section ever existing and was reminded of it, so here we are.]
Tiger Man: Ayyy, that was a good battle back there! So reminder, the winners of the Valentine Snow Fight? The WARMONGERS!
Players: YAAAAY
Tiger Man: A celebration for the winners and a commendation for the ones that participated! Gracias for the battle, amigos! Snow fight's done, but we still got chocolates and snow to enjoy!
Later
Tezcatlipoca: Great war, BRRRROTHER! Honestly I expected nothing, but things turned out way better than I ever thought!
MC: I had fun too! / Eh, not bad / pay me my money
Andvari: You'll get your dues, you made this a success! Kinda sucks the blizzard and stuff ruined our recordings, but we already blew up halfway through day one and people are calling like hell!
Tezcatlipoca: We're setting up the next snow fight. Things are going to be great for once!
Andvari: Hey MC, come again if you have time. We'll always need a cameraman!
Tezcatlipoca: Let's fight again whenever, BRRRROTHER!
Andvari: Oh wait I almost forgot. Your bonus! ...stop looking at me like that, there's no strings attached. This is actually meant for the winning team's bonus but Yoritomo declined his share.
Tezcatlipoca: Ha! He said "it wasn't just our victory."
Andvari: He didn't even blink, so I dunno what that was about. Whatever, yours. It's an invite ticket for the springs. Okay time to make some money!
Ryouta: Hi MC, we're finally here!
Shirou: I'm glad you're alright...oh, you didn't know?
Touji: The blizzard shut us out...
Ryouta: But now it just stopped so we're here. Time to eat all the sweets!
MC: I'm glad you're all okay. Stuff happened, I'll tell you while we eat.
Later
Ryouta: Huh, so that's why things cut out the second day. Also Girimekhala sounds amazing. I wonder if we can be friends?
Touji: I saw the first day videos. Very tactically informative, we should use them for counterguild strategies.
Shirou: We should join as a group next time. It'd help our cooperation.
Ryouta: Ohh! Next time let's ask Kengo and Moritaka to come with us! Mmm, hot springs and tons of sweets...
Touji: Wait we didn't come here to play, Yakush--
Shirou: Eh, it's okay sometimes. We should also invite the rest of the guild like Agyou. Having us all together makes things more fun.
MC: Yessss
Touji: ...okay I'm convinced.
Ryouta: Wow MC, you sounded like Jacob just now. Okay, let's all come as Team Summoners next time!
Shirou: Okay, I'll go talk to the managers for details.
Ryouta: Gonna eat all the sweets! Oh, I should go say hi to Chouji.
Touji: I'm going to the hot springs. Which reminds me...what did Master Hougen mean by getting along with both guilds in the springs?
Later
Tanetomo: Oh my. Took you long enough to come talk to me, MC. You didn't take my chocolate, but...well, let's say His Excellency foresaw it. Still, shouldn't you have come to me immediately after the game to adore me? Did you expect me to be a beautiful courtier just to wait???
MC: Congrats, you're the cutest! / OH NO / (pet)
(A) Tanetomo: You're still kind of late, but fine, I'll accept this.
(B) Tanetomo: (murder vibes) ...oh, is that your reaction after all my hints? You best remember this.
(C) Tanetomo: Don't you think this is a little too brazen of y--oh wait, I did the same thing to Yasuyori once. Never mind.
Yasuyori: Oh, MC! Advisor! Here you two are.
Shennong: Hey Problem Kid. You did it again. After I told you not to. Again. Do you know what could've happened to you if you got hit by a giant snowball unarmed?
Yasuyori: D-Doctor, they weren't hurt this time...
Tanetomo: Yes, simple nagging won't do anything to them. They just pretend to not hear it, just like SOMEONE who's a little slow around here.
Yasuyori: wait what
MC: You know me so well / I'm sorry... / I thought it'd work out somehow...
Shennong: ... (sigh) No shots or nagging today. But only if you promise to come see if you feel anything off about yourself at all. Got it? ...oh, with the snow fight over, I guess now's a good time for a physical break, huh?
Tanetomo: Yes, I think so too. Maybe a bit of relaxing would be fine.
Yasuyori: I shall try all the sweets since I usually don't see this many!
Tanetomo: Is this some backlash reaction to how our school is? Are you going to be even worse at the cafe...?
Yasuyori: No! It's our job to partake if our superiors treat us!
Shennong: Welp, Big Boy makes sense! Feels like a waste on me though since I always eat grass.
Tanetomo: ...so we may have been named the winners, but I'm slightly against calling it my win. But don't think that was our full power. If we face off, it'll be a real war. Okay, time to excuse us! Tell Tennouji Shinya I'm going to break his budding pride and show I'M truly the cutest in the battlefield here.
Later
Arslan: Cub, there you are!
Maria: Hello MC. I'm glad you're unhurt.
Zabaniya: Yes, just like Girimekhala. I am pleased nothing serious came of it all.
MC: Hi guys! Kinda sucks how it ended, but you all looked great!
Arslan: Haha, yeah we lost. It sucks, but it was really fun!
Zabaniya: Indeed. I did I best and that was how we did. But the journey has been more worth it than the destination of our efforts.
Azazel: Winning can be down to luck, but I'm satisfied with seeing all the sweaty bod--never mind me.
Maria: We usually don't get chances to get coop and competitive experience.
Arslan: Let's go apply for the next one!
Maria: wait next what now
Arslan: Snow fight! You didn't think we'd only do the one, did you?
Maria: B-but everyone's plans...wait, what about your own work?
Azazel: It should be fine, let us pretend it isn't there. Mmm, seeing someone throw themselves at a party is also lovely...
Zabaniya: O-okay?
Maria: No it is not! Excuse us, MC, I need to talk with them!
Girimekhala: Hey, camera man! I'm...kinda embarrassed I cried like that. I wasn't expecting to.
MC: That's just how hard you tried / I think I get it / (hug)
(C) Girimekhala: W-what? Uhh...I don't know what to do about this!
Gorozaemon: Haha, you sure move fast!
Girimekhala: Student Prez!?
MC: what / WHERE'D YOU COME FROM / Hey, long time no see Gorozaemon!
---
(C) Gorozaemon: Aww, you remember me? Good to see you having fun.
---
Gorozaemon: Ayy, I just came to meddle with check on our outbound transfer student. I went to Daikanyama to slack off see you when they told me you were up here at the Snow Fest. Sounded cool, so I rode my wanyudo ride and burned some roads!
Girimekhala: Oh. Thank you Prez. But sorry, it's already over. Maybe I should've invited you earlier.
Gorozaemon: It's cool! Even if you did, I wouldn't know if I'd come until the day of. ANYWAYS, I came to ask you something. Did you find your own road with the Missionaries? You used to be one of the Taoshis, so did you find anything to be proud of?
MC: what (Huh. He was a Taoshi?)
Girimekhala: Yeah! ...if only, right?
Girimekhala is hesitant in answering after meeting Airavata and confronting his role. He's hesitant because he's looking to the future after facing his present, but he still looks determined.
Girimekhala: I can't say for sure, but I do think I saw something like it for a second. And I did find something thanks to MC and the Missionaries. I'll tell you when I come back, so look forward to it!
Gorozaemon: Good answer! You've grown in the little time you've been away! Mediating with the guild and school was worth it, even if I left the paperwork to Li Chou. Enjoy the rest of the exchange period!
Girimekhala: Okay, thanks!
Gorozaemon: Cool, I'm off to enjoy the resort!
Shinya: Hello MC, I'm glad you're alright.
Jacob: Yes. I could've kept you safe and stopped the snowball if I had been faster. I must raise my love (and fists) to a whole new level.
Shinya: Y-you want to stop that giant snowball with one hand!? ...maybe I should train with Taromaiti and Kalki.
Girimekhala: NO! You wouldn't be able to do what Jacob did with just a little training!
Jacob: Nothing is impossible if you believe in love! Oh, I know! You should go fight with 100 angels and--
MC: Love can't do THAT much! / You can't just casually drop that! / (pretend to hear nothing)
Shinya: A-actually I think I'll work at it my own pace.
Girimekhala: Same. Gotta do things with what's possible for me...
Jacob: Indeed, love is different for all. I shall spare no effort so everyone can find their own expressions of love!
Jacob: In other news, I suppose I really don't want to leave with a loss. I must go discuss things.
MC: So you're the most upset with what happened? What are you going to do? I mean, this can only end badly but still...
Jacob: A no holds barred survival game! It'll be okay, no one will be hurt if we all use snow guns. I should go talk to the Warmongers and--
Yoritomo: What on earth are you going on about?
MC: oh no / Big Brother Get! / (grab on)
---
(BC) Yoritomo: OH NO YOU'RE HERE!? L-let go, I thought I'd finally settle my ulcers!
---
Jacob: Yoritomo: I believe we are friends now that we have traded blows three times.
Yoritomo: ...think what you like. Politician's promise.
Jacob: Oh, how about we further our understand by throwing hands some more?
Yoritomo: ...interesting. Such a casual taunt you make, just like someone else I know.
Jacob: It is the best I know how to do. But I dare say, if we're both unsatisfied with how things went, why not go again?
Yoritomo: ...hmm. What do you think, everyone?
Tanetomo: Inusaka Keno Tanetomo reporting, Sir. I shall gently dispatch the riffraff.
Yasuyori: I will do my best too! We don't have battlefields like this much!
Shennong: ...you are all hotheads. Just don't get hurt, okay?
Arslan: Good idea, Jacob!
Zabaniya: Thank you for another learning opportunity.
Maria: Wait what, really!? ...well I guess it's okay for today.
Azazel: Mmm, such uninhibited desire.
Shinya: This sounds like it'll be fun! I'll have so much to talk about when I go home!
Girimekhala: I'm in!
MC: WHAT / Everyone's going down! / (turn on app)
Tezcatlipoca: Awesome!
Andvari: Send in the drones, get those bangers rolling and kick ass people!
Later
Players: YEAAAHHHH
Tiger Man: And suddenly we're having an anything goes snow fight! Shoot them all! Let's go, game start!
The End
