[bondsofsuffering]

Heeeeh... is that so?

[The tone of his voice clearly indicates the unsaid sentiment:

Is Akira willing to prove it?]

[purrtagonist]

[my overwhelming GUTS means I'm not at all afraid of Hizumi's challenge!]

You sound skeptical. I'm almost hurt.

[bondsofsuffering]

As they say, seein' is believin'.

And I'm not gonna believe you until you can prove yourself.

[purrtagonist]

You're on.

[challenge accepted without hesitation]

But I feel like if we're turning this into a competition, there need to be some sort of stakes involved.

[he does have a gambling spirit deep down, you know]

[bondsofsuffering]

Oh? And what kinda stakes are you thinkin' of?

[purrtagonist]

Free ice cream for my friends.

For a month.

[bondsofsuffering]

[...]

Sorry, but showin' some guts isn't worth that much.

Free ice cream for a day, tops. We're still too small to go bankruptin' ourselves right out the gate.

[purrtagonist]

Deal.

[start high and push your limits even if you know it won't work!!]

What do you want if I lose/

[bondsofsuffering]

The limit's five of 'em, too. Bringin' in the whole town doesn't count.

[He raises a hand, fingers splayed by example.]

As for you, if you lose, you can pay us back for the ice cream by puttin' on a special promotional show and nettin' us... how about thirty new customers?

[purrtagonist]

Only thirty?

[DON'T BRAG]

I think I can manage that.

[bondsofsuffering]

Only thirty. I thiiiiiiink that should pay it off.

[Also, promotions! The more the better.]

Hope you're ready for it!

[purrtagonist]

I'm always ready.

[thumbs up. LET THE ICE CREAM BRAIN FREEZE COMPETITION BEGIN]

[bondsofsuffering]

Then you're on!

...Once everyone's feelin' a little less dead, anyway.

[As he is currently on Ayumu watching duty.]

[purrtagonist]

[oh, right. of course]

I hope Ayumu-san feels better sooner rather than later. Send him my regards.

[bondsofsuffering]

Will do. And thanks for takin' the extra work!
