Dagashi Kashi (だがしかし)

Right. Hold it like that, and...

...press the knot against the pointy part of the beigoma spinning top.

"How to wrap a string around beigoma"

And then, wrap the string around it.

Let's see... the way to throw it is...

Hm? The cell signal is...

Done!

Whoa!

Right? This looks like the real deal!

Let's see... Throw it! "Throw it"?

Go!

Hm?

Coconuts...?

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry... Are you okay?

It probably won't spin on rough ground like this, right?

Yeah. I wish we had something more suitable, like a barrel--

Kokonotsu!

Let's... play!

H-Hotaru?!

Well... Um... That's...

When it comes to a stage for beigoma, you've gotta use something like this!

Well... Um... Where'd you get it?

No need to worry.

What?!

I'll take off this skirt...

...and use it to make the beigoma stage!

This skirt has two layers. Isn't it amazing?

I-I see...

I'll say...!

Now, this will do the trick!

You sure know a lot about beigoma!

Of course!

It would be no exaggeration to say that I've mastered the art of beigoma!

Beigoma, together with menko cards and marbles,

make up the Three Sacred Treasures of dagashi toys.

Beigoma in particular has seen the development

of many unique techniques throughout its long history of battles.

Now, just watch.

Hotaru's Gale Throw!

Coconuts!

Kokonotsu?

Pull it... like this!

Pull and throw!

They're spinning!

That's right. It's important to pull back when you throw it.

It's the theory of "What's the harm?" seen in samurai dramas.

"What's the harm?"

"Oh no!"

S-Say what?

How foolish!

When playing beigoma, throwing yours last...

...gives you an overwhelming advantage!

I-I'm sure you'll do better next time.

The essence of beigoma extends far beyond simple technique.

Warriors from olden times put their heart and souls into their beigoma

and continuously strived to improve its strength and beauty.

And then, finally, as the result of overcoming many hardships,

the strongest beigoma was born!

"Ho"

Here comes... Hotaru Special!

Whoa!

The real battle begins now.

The one whose beigoma keeps spinning until the end wins!

And, the loser will do anything the winner asks them to do.

How does that sound?

A real battle, huh? Count me in!

Right. I've got only one wish.

I want you to take over Shikada Dagashi.

Ah!

So this is where you guys were! What're you doing?

Master Saya!

So this will do? This is kinda cute!

Everyone, are you ready?!

Go! Hotaru Special!

Here we... go!

All right!

It's spinning! It's spinning!

Go!

There! Go!

All right!

Hotaru, you're really good.

So is Saya.

Come on!

Go!
