"This is a competition!" "Stop messing around...just hurry and eat more dango!" "too!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Why are you eating dango with rice?" "It'll make you full sooner!" "the main dish is clearly dango." "you know." "from the bottom of my heart!" "Stop eating it with rice!" "There!" "I'm not satisfied if I have a meal without rice!" "I don't give a damn about Western eating!" "I'm telling you this competition isn't for your stomach!" "Objection." "Isn't it against the rules to bring other foods to a dango competition?"

"It means nothing if you eat them later." "And what a shabby idea!" "Objection!" "Takeout is against the ethics of competition." "Andromeda is raising an objection." "what do you think?" "Is takeout against the rules?" "You'd better eat while you can." "Does that mean it's against the rules?" "Ya." "Their objection has been sustained." "Takeout is against the rules." "Tupperware is prohibited." "Tsk!" "Don't "tsk" me!" "Now we've passed 30 minutes!" "There are 30 minutes remaining." "Both teams are struggling to figure out how many plates they should prepare." "Who could have predicted such a close match?" "Whichever side brings things under control first will have the advantage." "Sweets-sama!" "Don't worry." "I have a backup plan." "move." "that is..." "They're sumo wrestlers!" "Sumo wrestlers!" "a group of sumo wrestlers appeared taking over the table." "They're eating at an amazing speed." "The dango look like malt balls." "They're monsters." "Real monsters!" "450 plates!" "the difference has been cut to 50 plates." "Musashi-san?" "Well..." "You'd better eat while you can." "So true." "Mister!" "Don't worry." "We just finished our snack.." "You're full already?" "This is bad." "Really bad." "No... it's time to get to work." "appetizer time is over." "Shinpachi!" "Yes!" "Whoaaa!" "What's this?" "!" "One person is taking the dango off the skewers to make it easier to eat." "without breaking a single one." "Combination!" "The key to something like that is having the perfect combination." "Hey!" "That's not eating!" "That's feeding!" "An objection has been raised!" "You'd better eat while you can." "It means there's no problem." "So fast!" "It's unbelievably fast!" "The sumo wrestlers aren't to be outdone." "It's even." "It's even!" "Both teams are holding their own and not budging one inch." "They're engaged in a fierce battle." "But the fiercest thing is the stomach of that China girl." "Is it bottomless?" "She's staying even against five sumo wrestlers." "Her stomach may even be bigger..." "She's eating rice!" "She's eating rice between the dango!" "Are you crazy?" "I said no more rice." "I don't give a damn about Western food!" "My eyes!" "My eyes!" "Kagura!" "Oh no!" "She's got dango sauce in her eyes." "It must hurt." "It doesn't look like she'll be able to get up for a while!" "This could be a great chance for Andromeda!" "They really made us worry." "But this is a nice surprise for the competition." "Now we just have to hope they widen the gap...then..." "Oh!" "But these guys seem to be nearing their limit." "We'll most likely grab a win." "Right." "I wonder if that'll happen." "What?" "Shinpachi." "Take Kagura away now." "[Mind Your Sugar Levels]" "Leave the rest to the Sugar King." "that doesn't sound very realistic with your stomach like that." "right?" "If you eat more..." "It's not good for young people nowadays to give up so easily." "old man?" "that's true." "he just keeps going." "He keeps on going!" "his stomach must be at its limit." "So why is he still eating?" "He loves sweets that much?" "but we're analog people." "We are stubborn and don't know when to give up." "Both teams are beyond their limit." "They're shoving dango down their throats by sheer force of will!" "One minute left!" "The number of plates is even." "You'd better eat while you can." "Oh!" "Now both teams have stopped eating." "What made them stop at the end?" "What happened?" "!" "Why have you stopped eating?" "!" "we'll win." "I feel like throwing up just looking at dango." "Gochandesu." "[Note:" "Gochandesu is a word Sumo wrestlers use a lot.]" "What?" "!" "They're getting tired of it."

"I've tasted all kinds of sweets and used the experience to create even more kinds of sweets." "And you say they're sick of my dango?" "!" "please calm down." "This can't be happening."
