There's a statement that teen could stand to hear. Ginia glances toward the exit, wondering if they'll show up in the future. Maybe not the main bully, not without earning some serious ire, but maybe the others will have a change of heart. More importantly, Ginia is happy to hear Shun accept. She'll have to shuffle her schedule around to show up, but this could be good for him.

'Sorry to interrupt, but should we settle the matter of second and third place?' The manager gently interrupts, looking at the two players with only one loss a piece.

'Nah, I concede. I think we know who put up the best fight,' the kid says, looking over at the girl and giving her a thumbs up. 'She always beats me anyway.'

The manager, having figured that was the case, nods gently. 'Give me a moment and we'll get started with the award ceremony.'

The prizes are gift certificates to the store along with a few booster packs for the top three players. There's also a certificate to display for the three players and an offer of a group photo, which the kids gladly drag Shun into.

Ginia raises her camera to snap a few pictures herself. She'll have to send them to Chinatsu and Kotori later.
