Part 157: The Playoffs

> Naoto joined the Investigation Team, and on a peaceful day...Teddie summoned you again into the TV...


Laaaadiiiieeees Aaaaannnnd Gennnntlemennnn! It's the show you've all been waiting for! At last, it's the playoffs!
I'm sure our viewers remember what happened last time. Those memorable qualifiers where Sensei won the day after a heated battle!
All the emotion and drama is back tonight for another round! Just like last time...I'm your host...




With concentration, knowledge, and Teddie's favor...Go for the gold! It's back!



-The Midnight Trivia Miracle Quiz-


I had a feeling when Teddie called me up that it would be about this...Hey, how come it's us playing again? I thought this was the playoffs.


Is that some of the quiz ability you built up during the preliminaries!?
The only "ability" she's using is her ability to see the obvious! Why us again!? You could've called Kanji or Naoto!
Tsk-tsk-tsk! You know...I wanted to call Rise-chan and Nao-chan.


Formal invitation...?


Well, yeah. How else would they have been able to say no?
I don't believe this! There is something seriously wrong with you! Why didn't we get an explanation!?
Come on, Yosuke. Do I really have to spell it out for you?


And in that case, the producer--meaning moi--would be in trouble, wouldn't he?
Not my problem...Ugh, you tell him, Yukiko.


Uh, Miss Amagi...?
There she goes again...
Woo, good one, Yuki-chan. You know how to party!




Do you really like quiz shows this much? We already went through one round.
You protest now, but you had fun too, didn't you? Have you already forgotten how touched you were on that day? Rekindle that passion! Don't turn your back on your youth!
When was I touched!? You're not making any sense!


Fine, I'll play along...But this is the last time, all right?
I guess it's better than Teddie throwing a tantrum. Alright, let's do this!
Heheheh...It looks like our contestants are ready. Now then!


Let's begin the playoffs!


Buzz in to answer! If you know the answer, hit the button in front of you before time's up! A correct answer will earn you one point! An incorrect answer will lose you one point. The person with the highest score at the end of the round wins! Now for the first question!

-The Midnight Trivia Miracle Quiz-


You really are amazing. How much stuff do you know that we don't?
Just what I expected from you...Though I'm sad I lost.


F-Finals!?
Here we go again...We're done with this crud.
What are you saying? A quiz show without finals is like a sundae with no cherry!
The next show will be the last finale! Get set for an all-out battle!
What the heck's a "last finale?" They mean the same thing...
Oh, but "finals" means it's the last one, right? Thank goodness. I couldn't stand having to do this all the time.
Whoa, hold on. You're making it sound like we'll be in the next one.
Oh...ahaha. We aren't, are we...?


Is she already working on a plan...?





> You managed to win the quiz show...But according to Teddie, there are still the finals yet to come...What challenges await you in the finals? You'll have to wait and see...
