YuYuYui - Birthday event - September 2021

Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 1

[Anzu's room]

Tam: Ooh!!

Anz: Eh!? Ah, sorry. I was so focused on reading, maybe I was ignoring you for too long...

Tam: No, I was reading manga so it's fine...  By the way, we're past the point of being bothered to stay silent together.

Tam: But that's not the point! Our birthday's coming up soon!

Anz: Ah, you're right! I was also thinking of bringing it up. Considering that our birthdays are so close...

Tam: Masuzu's birthday is soon too! This year, we'll celebrate it with her!

Anz: I'd like to put my heart into it. What present should we give her?

Tam: Uu~m, with the exception of Masuzu and Yoshika, we already celebrated everyone's, so I pretty much know what to give them but...

Anz: What were Masuzu-san's birthdays like until now...?

Anz: Speaking of, Masuzu-san's home is a Mahjong parlor... So she likes Mahjong, right?

Tam: Aah! Now that you mention it, yeah!

Anz: Um. So if we held an actual Mahjong tournament, that should make her happy.

[Hero Club room]

Sek: I got it. So you called us because we already played it together.

Kir: It's OK for me! I got destroyed before. I'm on fire to have a chance to take my revenge~!

Sek: I'm not as passionate about revenge... but it was fun, I'm down for another one.

Son: I obviously agree~. Let's have fun together again~.

Tam: That goes fast with you as expected. Thanks for your cooperation!

Anz: So, there is another thing I'd like to ask of you besides your participation...

Tam: Right! Teach us how to play Mahjong!

Sek: Didn't Masuzu-san teach you the rules the other day? I think just having fun is good enough though...?

Anz: She did. But when I remember how happy she was when she played with Sonoko-chan.

Anz: To make Masuzu-san really happy when playing Mahjong, being taught by her probably isn't enough.

Anz: We would have to make it a serious match, at least a little. That's what Tamacchi-senpai and I decided after discussing it.

Sek: I get it now. You earnestly thought about it and looked at Masuzu-san.

Kir: That's the right spirit! 'Right! Leave it to me! I'm gonna teach you Mahjong, in depth and funny!

Sek: Eh? No, uuh, aren't they seeking "strength rather than comedy"...?

Son: Goo~d, then exceptionally, I'll initiate you to my great ancestral strategy~♪

Tam: We'll be counting on you! Teachers!!

Sek: Will this be okay...?

Anz: Hahaha...


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 2

[Masuzu's room]

Aki: Ah!!

Aki: I just remembered, my birthday's coming soon!

Aki: (Which means Tamako's and Anzu-chan's are too...!)

Aki: (What present... could I give them to make them happy?)

Aki: (For Tamako, outdoor equipment... For Anzu-chan, books...)

Aki: (Hmm, way too predictable. They don't have enough impact to be special.)

Aki: This requires information gathering...!

[Kameya]

Fuu: ...And that's how we've celebrated their birthdays.

Gin: I remember~. They were all so much fun.

Nat: Did you acquire enough references?

Aki: ...Eh, Y-Yeah! Thank you, that was helpful!

Its: You don't seem good... Is there a problem?

Aki: Everyone made so many good memories together with them that I wasn't even aware of...

Gin: Masuzu-san...

Fuu: What do you mean? You're already a part of this "everyone".

Fuu: And don't you know them from before we did?

Fuu: By knowing the past, you can create the future. However I slice it, you have the upper hand.

Aki: Yes... You may be right!

Nat: It's a good smile. Have you set your mind on a specific present yet?

Aki: Yep, because of you!

Aki: I'll give them the best presents, so you'll help out, right!?

Its: Of course!

Fuu: Aside from that, do you have anything you want for the birthday party?

Aki: You can leave that to me♪

Aki: I'm gonna prepare the best birthday party for Tamako and Anzu-chan!

Its: How confident!

Gin: The 3 of you sure trust one another!


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 3

[Hero Club room]

Anz: Today's birthday party is!

Tam: A Mahjong tournament!!

Anz/Tam: That's it! / Yeah!

Aki: Seriously!? So good! I love you two!!!!

SON: So that people who don't know as much about Mahjong can have fun, I'll do my best to commentate~♪

SON: There are two games planned for today, an Ikkyokusen and a Tonpuusen.

SON: During an Ikkyokusen, the first to win a hand ends the games and wins!

SON: The first participant will obviously be Marin~. She's today's main role so she'll play the two games.

Chi: We're naturally fine with it but, Aki-san, are you okay with this? Won't it be exhausting?

Aki: It goes without saying! I'd even say it's not enough! Mahjong is a game you play all night long!!

Chi: I-I see... You're no doubt a Mahjong daughter...

SON: Thank you for the concern! Chii-chan is another participant in this first game~!

Tak: So you can play Mahjong, Gun-chan. You're amazing!

Chi: I've played Mahjong video games before. It's a classic bonus mini-game.

Tak: Sounds fun! Teach me next time we're just together!

Chi: Y-Yes! I'm sure it'll be fun!

SON: The remaining two are... Tama-bou and Anzun!

Tam: Ooh! I won't lose!!

Anz: I'm happy to play with you!

Aki: Good luck you two! Do you remember the basics I taught you?

Tam: Fu fu fu, I'm not the same Tama I was back then!

Aki: Eh?

Anz: In fact, we practiced Mahjong in preparation for this day.

Sek: As their coaches, we can guarantee you they've made progress.

Kir: By the end, even we'd lose sometimes!

Aki: In such a short time? This is amazing! But...

Aki: Was me teaching you not good enough...!?

Tam: Because it's a gift! Or something like that! Tama doesn't really get it!

Anz: We thought we had to make it a serious match for you to truly have fun playing with us.

Aki: So you trained for my sake...?

Anz: Yes. We intend to win today!

Tam: Tama too! I'll put my soul into Mahjong and win!

Aki: You girls are really... This is the actual best present you could have given me...

Aki: I like the spirit! But I'm gonna win! Bring it on!


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 4

[Hero Club room]

SON: Let the first game begin~!

SON: During this game, Shizupoyo will be joining me to commentate.

Kir: Leave it to me! I'll get you fired up~!

Yos: Koori-sama... Good luck. I will be praying for your victory from the bottom of my heart...!

Gin: In dogeza position!?

Chi: T-Thanks... But please cheer me on more comfortably...

Tam: Ah, that's a Pon.

Anz: ......

Tam: Chii.

Aki: (I see it... Tamako and Anzu-chan don't discard tiles as a beginner would.)

Aki: (They actually trained... I'm happy.)

Tam: Chii!

Aki: Wait, Tamako, that's a lot of nakis, huh!*

Uta: Eh!? Tamako-san is crying!?

Mit: I pity her...

SON: No~... That's not what it means.

Kir: "Naku", well basically, it's a technique that allows you to pick up a tile that was meant to be discarded in exchange for showing your hand.

Kir: It lowers your score so it honestly has big drawbacks... But if your goal is to win a hand quickly, it's not bad.

Tam: Fu fu fu, it's the special strategy my teacher taught me!

SON: Since Tama-bou doesn't remember difficult yakus yet, it's a very good technique~.

Aki: (But if Tamako keeps on doing nakis, I can see her hand... I just have to pay attention to what tiles I discard.)

Aki: (On the opposite side, Anzu-chan doesn't call nakis at all, her hand is hard to read... She's the one I have to be scared of.)

Aki: (Your personalities are showing through... This is what makes Mahjong so interesting!)

Aki: But I won't go easy on you! Richii!!

Tam: That's it!!!!

Note: Mahjong claims, also mean to cry


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 5

[Hero Club room]

Tam: That's it!!!! Kan!!

Aki: Not a Ron!?

Aki: You said it extremely happily, I thought you had a hand...

Tam: But I'm happy? A Kan is fun! That means you can get a Rinshan kaihou.

Tam: And above all, your points can increase!

Aya: Is that true?

Kir: Yep. Each time you get a Kan, you have a chance to increase yer score.

Tak: Amazing! It's a free deal~!

Kir: But it doesn't work all the time, just gettin' more points has a chance to blow up in yer face...

SON: Ah, Tama-bou looks down...

Tam: Nothing. I have no dora, and I can't do a Rinshan kaihou...

Tam: If I had a Rinshan kaihou... If only I could get a Rinshan kaihou, I would have won with style!

Chi: You just want to say Rinshan kaihou...

Tam: No, I'm not giving up yet! This Kan will get me back into the game with luck!

Aki: Here, Ron.

Tam: Gwaaaah, that was what she needed!

SON: Ah~... Tama-bou should have known this was a dangerous tile~...

Kir: The demerits of naki are showin'... If ya have little choice of what tile to discard, yer defense is flimsy.

Aki: Luck is important of course but Mahjong is about logic. You can predict anything with logic.

Aki: But... Yes. It's more fun than I thought! Serious matches are a lot of fun!

Aki: Thank you, Tamako, Anzu-chan, Koori-chan.

Anz: Phew, I'm glad...

Tam: Mmmh~, it's frustrating but if you liked it, that's all good!

SON: That's right, and in this scenario, I would have done a Kan too~, can't help it!

Sek: Ooh~. Anzu, that's amazing to not discard a bad tile with this hand!

Anz: I wonder...? Unlike Tamacchi-senpai, maybe I focus too much on defense...

Aki: That's not true. The pressure that came with being hard to read you was heavy!

Anz: E-Ehehe...

Yos: Koori-sama... You have my sincere apologies...! My prayers weren't enough...

Kir: She's been dogeza this whole game and now she's lyin' on the ground...!?

Chi: S-Stand up, please, Hanamoto-san.

Chi: I only lost because I wasn't good enough. But it's okay, as long as today's main role had fun.

Chi: Thank you for cheering me on, Hanamoto-san.

Yos: I am unworthy of these words...!

Aki: Well. You've tried hard and had fun, now it's my turn to go all out.

Aki: I'll have my revenge... Lucky Mahjong-chan!

Son: Fu fu fu, I'm ready when you are~!


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 6

[Hero Club room]

SON: And~now for the 2nd game! It will be a Tonpuusen! Let me introduce you the 4 participants~.

SON: The one who's got about all the abilities you could expect from a glass-wearing character! Akki!

Sek: With this lineup, I'm not confident~. But since it's a birthday, I won't chicken out!

SON: She confuses her opponents with her energy and enthusiasm! Shizupoyo!

Kir: Who said "she's got a secret weapon that'll stay secret"!? Eh? No one? My bad.

SON: It's embarrassing to introduce yourself~! You can do it~, Sonocchi!

Son: You do your best on commentating too, Sonoko-senpai~.

SON: And finally, today's main role! Our Mahjong leader! Marin!

Aki: I'll show you I have this name for a reason!

SON: It'll be a Tonpuusen but without dealer repeat. You'll each be the dealer for a turn, so it'll be a 4 turns game!

SON: The first dealer will be Sonocchi, start!

Son: Haa~. Being called "parent" by older people is embarrassing and strange in a way~.*

Son: Alright, here I go.

Son: Kan!

Son: Kan!

Son: And one more Kan! Richii!

Sek: T-That's a lot of doras suddenly...

Son: I had to prove to Tamako-senpai the "Dora bomb strategy" I taught her is amazing.

Tam: Well said! That's why you're a teacher!

Son: I have a hand. An ura dora with 9 doras.

Sek: Urgh!!!!

SON: The second dealer is Shizupoyo~.

Son: Riichi, ippatsu, tsumo, 6 doras.

Kir: Ye're always so lucky...

Sek: She's getting doras, but both with her starting hand and her tsumo tile... She's thinking outside the box...

Sek: No matter how much logical analysis I can muster, I can't get a hand like this... How's the main role going to fight this?

Aki: Hmph... Interesting. All the more reason to take my revenge!

Aki: The fight is only starting!!

Note: The dealer in Mahjong is called "oya" which means parent.


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 7

[Hero Club room]

SON: Now~, all last! Marin's the dealer for the final battle!

Aki: (During the previous turn, I somehow blocked Sonoko-chan's luck and got a hand before her.)

Aki: (But with the emphasis on speed, I couldn't get a big yaku and only scored few points...)

Aki: (It's all or nothing... No, it's wrong. I'll go all logic and wait until the last minute.)

Son: Kan.

Aki: Now! Riichi!

Son: Ah~. I see, that's what you got.

Aki: Sonoko-chan jr. If you discarded this tile, do you happen to be going for a four kans?

Son: Thump!

Aki: If you keep going for more Kans and me as the dealer gets a hand, you might actually lose, you know?

Aki: (...I went for a bluff there, but knowing Sonoko-chan jr.'s personality, even if she's not panicking...)

Son: He~y! A teacher shows the way! Kan!!

Tam: You're so cool, teacher! I'll follow your my whole life!

SON: Unbelie~vable! This is Sonocchi's 4th Kan!

Tou: (She created a bomb with an extremely high probability of scoring a high number of points.)

Tou: (The question being, who will this bomb explode in the hands of, and give her their points...)

Aki: (Yes. If I can't stop her luck using logic, I'll use her luck using logic!)

Sek: Alright, let me get in on this. Riichi too!

Son: Eh?

Kir: Same here. Riichi!

Son: Awawa...

SON: What an incredible turn of events. Whoever wins will inevitably score huge! Who'll be the winner~!?

Aki: Sorry but too late! With the most probable tile group. My tsumo will for sure...

Aki: I have a hand. Riichi, ippatsu, tsumo, with 8 doras!

Everyone: Oooh~~!!

SON: It's over~! Marin's the winner of this turn!

Aki: Ah... But these my points...

Kir: Yeah... Even put together, it's a little short of Noginogi...

SON: The winner of the 2nd game is Sonocchi! Unfortunately, Marin is in second place~.

Aki: Ah~, it wasn't enough. But it was a close game until the end, that's another fun part of Mahjong!

Tak: It was fun watching and cheering~. I should learn Mahjong as soon as possible!

Tak: Right? Gun-chan.

Chi: Sure, you're always welcome!

Aya: I-I want to try too.

Yos: By learning Mahjong... My opportunities to play with Koori-sama would therefore increase...!

Aki: It was fun and it looks like I'll have more Mahjong friends. That was the best birthday party!


Tamacchi-senpai, Anzu and Masuzu's birthdays, 5th year - 8

[Hero Club room]

Kir: Happy!

Son: Birthday~!

Everyone: Wah~!!!!

Fuu: Nice work on the Mahjong tournament! It's cliche I know, but let's end with the cake and presents!

Aki: Man, I never had that many people celebrating my birthday in the real world.

Anz: You're happy, right!?

Tam: This pleasure grows on you. Like some sort of addiction!

Aki: Gulp... There's no turning back...!

Fuu: Let's proceed with presents. Starting with Masuzu to Tamako and Anzu.

Tam: Eh?

Anz: No way, but we're celebrating your birthday...

Aki: Stop it with the reserve! Let me thank you for organizing this fantastic Mahjong tournament.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/yuyuyu/images/4/49/Card_image_304140.png

Anz: Ah, this is...

Tam: A cat plushie! And it's wearing Tama's Hero outfit!

Anz: I have the same plushie too... But this one has my Hero outfit...!

Aki: And this is mine. With my Miko outfit. By the way, I tried giving them colors matching us!

Nat: Last year for their birthday, they both got a bear plushie by coincidence and they were happy.

Min: And those costumes, they're handmade by Masuzu-san!

Tam: Ooh! That's amazing!

Aki: That said, I got a big deal of help from Uesato-chan and the others~.

Hin: Fufu, we only provided a tiny amount of help on the details.

Aki: You wouldn't have expected to get plushies two years in a row so I went for it. What do you think?

Anz: I'm happy! Thank you so much, Masuzu-san!

Aki: Well, how do I say that... I can't go back to last year's birthday, but we'll be together from now on...

Aki: So with this feeling, I thought that making one even cuter than last year's bear would make you happy, or something.

Tam: Of course! We'll stay together!

Anz: Yes... Yes!

Aki: Thanks! ...And don't be discouraged by today, I'd be happy to play Mahjong with you again.

Tam: Of course for that too! Next time, I won't lose!

Anz: Yes! One day, I'll show you I can be on the same level at Sonoko-chan...!

Aki: Yep! I'm looking forward to it!
