Summer Festival in the MGU
Wherever you are, whoever you are, one minute you’re at home minding your own business and the next you’ll see a shower of sparkles before you blink and find yourself teleported elsewhere.
The elsewhere, it seems, is an open grounds lined with stalls, pathways and gardens. Lanterns light up the pathways in soft glowing oranges and pinks, and even though it’s evening the weather is warm and enjoyable for a fun summer festival.
As you set off to explore, you’ll find that there are countless stalls with every type of treat you can imagine from a variety of cultures (including some from your own home worlds, strangely), all of which smell delicious and enticing. There are other stalls available with different carnival games as well. Go ahead and give it your all! Win a prize for that special someone, or just keep trying out of sheer stubbornness. Other stalls seem to be selling wares such as clothing, household items, flowers, and other things that can be given away as gifts. It seems that every time you look around, a new stall opens, almost as if this festival is responding to your every wish.
Speaking of wishes, there’s a small cluster of bamboo trees nearby as well, tables set up with baskets of arts and crafts supplies to write your wishes on the colorful paper and tie them to a branch. It’s a sweet thought, no?
And of course, what’s a festival without fireworks? Every now and then fireworks will light up the night sky, bursts of color in fun shapes such as stars, hearts, faces of people you know, whatever! Sparklers and bubble wands can also be found to play with throughout the evening near the viewing gardens. Flowers bloom and cover the area, though the paths lead to several small alcove-like areas and gazebos for those of you who wish to have a little romantic privacy. No matter where you are though, you’ll always be able to see the starry night sky.
Do try to play along and enjoy yourself for the evening. It’s only when the last firework bursts several hours later that you can actually leave anyway. Have fun!

she frowns at him.]
You catch one for me, then, if you know how best to do it!

[He crouches next to her though.]
The net is made of paper, right? So it's going to lose it's structural integrity quickly in the water. So you need to move quickly of course, but suddenly jerking up the fish is going to rip through the weakened paper. You need to use a more measured hand.

[flayn please.
but she listens to his explanation.]
I see... so I imagine I will want to only put it into the water if I am sure that a fish will swim directly into it, so that there is not much time for the paper to be weakened.

[Ogata is Legally A Cat so he'd be forced to eat it. Anyway you know what they say. Catch a Flayn a fish and she will have one fish. Teach a Flayn to fish and she can have as many fish as she craves.]
But yes. That's the idea. The stall vendors are counting on people not having the patience or skill to pull it off like that.

[this just makes her all the more motivated to catch a fish and beat them at their own game.]

Ah! Look, Ogata, I did it!

You've outsmarted a rigged system. Good job.

It is all thanks to your guidance!

I couldn't tolerate such a desperate performance from someone I'm affiliated with is all.

[she feels like she just won because he's admitting to being affiliated with her]

Of course. If there's one thing I hate it's improper technique. That's why Sugimoto with his abysmal rifle skills irritates me so much.
[The joke here is the idea that there's only one thing Ogata hates.]
