[ shoyo has to put down his omni for just a second to rub his hands together. aw, yeah. ]
it's an international sports festival! we've got the summer and winter olympics where A LOT of athletes representing their countries get together in one place to compete for medals! they're done every 4 years! i played in the summer olympics for japan in 2021, men's volleyball and beach volleyball division!
next time i'm going to try and play for brazil in beach volleyball. I've been living there for years before trench.
[he needs a minute to wonder why there are two. is it that much different on a beach? the sand he guesses? volleyball is a fascinating and mysterious sport]
And they'll allow you despite not being a native? Interesting, your world seems rather peaceful all things considered. That it can come together for this sort of competition.
[it also occurs to him this probably means shōyō is hot shot sports guy? like he's in this big world thing? huh. look at that, knowing a Sports Celebrity. probably.]
[look at that, he knows a celebrity. he took a selfie with a sports star. let no one say the trench doesn't let dreams come true as well as nightmares.]
Interesting, I would have expected a longer period but that does seem fair.
I suppose I do. No countries were at war in my world but there certainly wasn't this sense of camaraderie, enough for an international sports tournament. In truth I think it shows you come from a more advanced world than most in many matters.
you think so? i mean, i don't think i'll ever see something as cool as your magic tec where i'm from (unless its a video game). that's like beyond advanced!

That explains the atmosphere. In truth I have always assumed sports to be aggressively competitive.
Now, what exactly is the olympics? A tournament of some sort?
[his work is cut out for him.]
