After the movie, there is this game arcade in the same building so they stopped by. They spent 700 yen or so trying to catch a stuffy but no, no success. It was very difficult.

Gacha gacha fun

Pinga is not how these are called in English. You put 200 to 500 yen coins and move the dial, then you one of the capsules comes out. Gacha gacha is the sound in Japanese when you move the dial. You cannot choose it so you might not get exactly what you want but you'll get something. Momo-chan likes it and so do twins.

Pinga was shocked...
