[ And with the extra cheer from Vietnam, Genos goes to do just that—he'll repeat what he did once before, however just a little bit hotter this time pushing the absolute limit to how hot the tip can get before it truly starts to warp and throws it at the balloon again.
And this time, like magic, it is just enough so where it does indeed puncture the balloon. It's not quite the "pop" that a normal dart would do but it does leak and eventually empty. ]
[That was an amazing display of indiscreet cheating. She does cheer (somehow, in all her usual quiet grace(?)) when Genos successfully punctures the balloon. It's not like it was a loud pop, but the balloon itself was deflated so there's no way that would be counted as failure?
Besides, the vendor looks like he's sweating nervously. He probably realised that if he tried to find any loopholes, he might lose something else important. Since this young man here is Very Strong.]
Y-yeah...that counts! You can...uh, choose your prize! [All of which are weird, some cute, carnival prizes.]
[ Today this vendor has learned a very valuable lesson and that is when you're trying to scam someone, make sure that they're not a cyborg. Or something like that. Actually, don't scam people by doing things like this. That would be the real lesson to be learned here.
Still Genos will look to Vietnam with a look that might have looked better if he smiled but those things are rare so he only nods his head slightly at her. ]
Thank you.
[ Looking over the vast array of goods....None really suit what he likes so—</small. ]
Is there something that you'd like, Vietnam?
[YEAH THAT'S RIGHT TAKE THAT. Just don't scam in general. It's already a game of luck, why mess with it.
Genos, you tried. Maybe one day she will be able to see a real smile. She's just happy he's pleased, really.]
Oh...[She looks over all the goods, they do seem to be on the more childish end.] Those giant plush toys look appropriate for a victory, but isn't there anything you like?
[ Dream big Vietnam. One day the true prize of seeing a Genos smile.
That said, there is an egg plush sitting on the counter that vaguely reminds Genos of his master but he won't say anything and simple shakes his head at her. ]
There is, but is it not customary to allow the friend to pick out the prize that they want?
[ Genos, I think you're thinking of what happens on a date instead of what happens betwee—oh well, what are strict boundaries. He will be insistent that Vietnam pick out something instead of him. Besides, stereotypes? ]
And is he sure? He could always grab that, if she knew that was what he wanted.]
A-ah, well... [She didn't make the date connection yet, but she's still embarrassed all the same.] I mean, it is a generous offer, but I mean...it is still your victory! [He worked hard for it! She does have an idea though.] What about this? If you would like something, I can choose for you. But if you want to give me something, then why not you choose? It would be curious to find out what the other was thinking, either way. [This might be her way of attempting to share.]
Except that it sort of is. Someone please help these two. ]
So then, you want me to pick something out and then give it to you? [ Because let's be real even though there's something up there that he wants, there's no way that he'll allow himself to take it home with him. (Although it's extremely tempting, he should pay her back for saving him.) ]
That sounds fine if that's what you want.
[ That poor vendor waiting on them to pick a simple prize. ]
Someone really needs to save them. Socially inept.]
If that is the option you pick, then yes. [He could always let her pick. And if he picks something he likes, she could always give it to him. THEY ALL WIN.
[ This is literally the most backward way to handle these things and yet here they are. Vendor-san, if you place judgement on either one of their souls just look at yourself and ask the question, "what do you think brought them to this point"?
Now that settled, Genos will look at the items spread out before them looking at his options when he sees something rather fitting. ]
I'll take that one.
[ He'll be point to a plush that sort of reminded him of the monster they first faced together. ]
[They need so much help. But somehow, they made it work, no matter how much judgment they're suffering from Vendor-san right now, wondering how they even managed to get this far. He probably would think it's Genos' brute strength.
The vendor (after much struggle) grabs the adorable beasty plush from the shelf and somehow tosses it onto the counter for Genos to collect. He was being rude because he lost, but also because he actually can't reach. He hasn't had to reached in quite some time with the game being what it is!]
What an cute choice! [It's not awful like the monster of their first encounter.]
[ Genos will take the plush from the vendor politely and thank him for the chance to play his game allowing him to ponder longer about how Genos managed to win. Was it truly brute strength? Was it something else? Who knows... But look he'll still have his manners about him.
Though as soon as he gets it, he'll give it to Vietnam. ]
I'm glad I was able to pick out something you liked.
[All is well ends well! In any case, Genos is the true reigning champion today, having exacted revenge on his situation by defeating at least one of the games. They didn't get swindled at all!
Also he ended up with a cute gift. She takes it after he offers it to her.]
Well, I think I like it better because you chose it. Thank you, Genos. I hope it was fun.
[Vietnam is the worst example for a typical girl, it's true. Genos learnt nothing about cute girls today.]
