Detailed Summary
Hidenori is operating a crane game at an arcade as Yoshitake and Tadakuni watch on. The rewards are teddy bears and he misses them by a good amount. He reacts in shock and the others tell him to give up, pointing out that he’s failed around 10 times. Yoshitake offers to try in his stead, and Hidenori asks if he could really succeed.

He too misses in a similar fashion and looks at Hidenori as if to say ‘I told you so’, which confuses Hidenori. Hidenori then asks Tadakuni for cash and is turned down. On his last attempt, he is delighted when he manages to grab a bear, but is disappointed yet again when it inexplicably slips out of the claw and lands painfully close to the prize hatch. He tells the others he is completely out of cash.

Tadakuni suggests shaking the machine to obtain the bear. However, the trio are unable to make it budge with their combined strength. They start leaving, and Hidenori looks back at the machine sadly. Tadakuni tells him to move on, and he suddenly notices a familiar figure walking past. It’s Tadakuni’s sister, who goes to the same machine they were playing at. Hidenori warns her it’s just a waste of money

The girl then proceeds to shake the machine with ease, tipping the bear they were after right into the hatch. She picks it up and walks away, leaving three astounded boys behind. They wonder what sort of being she is to possess such strength.
