"WELL I-" Haru stands, slamming his hands on the table.
He stays silent for a second, drawing back his finger and panning it across the room before he finally stops on Sumiye.
"-accept your challenge and I will be using..."
With an unnecessarily sharp turn he reveals his newest model and pops it onto the table, slightly rattling the plates.
"Big Zam!"
Behind the trio a crowd appears to be gathering, either to take pictures of the not-at-all elusive Sumiye Tetsurou or spectate the ensuing battle. Either way, a pink-clad waitress has to force her way through before finally popping out, in front of everyone to calm them down.
"Everyone, everyone! The Akihabara All-Out Brawl Out will begin in ten minutes! Participants must be ready to check in Gunpla and find a participant to challenge off with! Those still in queue may wait until more stations open up."
"Miss, can you check us out a battle station upstairs? We would like to begin," Haru asks, turning over to her.
"Sure! Just check in here!" she chirps, taking out a tablet.
After a few taps, she places the device on the table for the two of them to sign in. Though the three of them plan on competing in the tournament, none of them (especially not Haru) can resist a battle of bets. From makeup challenges to Gunpla they love going toe to toe, albeit everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. In Haru's case, he seems to lose in few things, but he has a decent win ratio in Gunpla. Even if Sumiye holds a higher rank he never feels outmatched or outgunned.
"Right this way." The waitress leads the trio past the dissipating deluge of customers, past display cases of Gundam memorabilia, and up stairs painted in white with a glass guardrail.
"Oh and one more thing Sumi-chan," Haru grins as he flounces to the battle station, "if I win, I want you to eat nothing but pickled radish for a week."
