Well, with our dreams of being Teppanyaki Champ of Canada dashed, we should focus back on what we originally came here to do. Zero4!
Let’s ask this guy with a towel and headband.
:
Umm, there’s a place around here where they do zero-yon. Do you have it?
It's on the St. Lawrence River.
Alright, on a river hey? I’m guessing this is going to be an ice course. Montreal apparently carries the same tradition as Winnipeg in ‘the town is in spring but the lake is the middle of frozen winter.
Well, hello there!
That’s a very… thin dress to wear out in the middle of a frozen lake…
:
What do you want? You want my autograph?
:
Huh? What?
:
I can't help it, it's special.
What the… She just gave us an autograph... on Hiro’s face!
: Whoa! What are you doing to someone's face?
:
There's no need to be so happy.
:
Who's happy about that? I'm angry.
:
Why are you mad when I ask you to sign it? Even though I'm actually happy
:
I came here to do the Zero-Yon.I didn't come here to get an autograph like this.
:
Oh no, he wrote it in permanent marker…
:
How rude!!
:
Knowing me as the national ice course champion. Is that what you're saying!?
:
Phew, it's finally gone.
: Huh?
You're the champion? So do you have a medal?
:
Of course, he's the champion.
Wait… This is the first time we’ve run across someone who actually does have a medal.
I originally had thought each city would have a medal, but now I think there's only three. The Dry, Wet and Ice champs.
Which means this lady is the Ice course champion!
:
Okay then, let's do the Zero-Yon! Let's do it quickly!
:
Stay quiet!!
:
I don't remember being told what to do by you!
Oof be careful there Hiro. Don't want to invoke the wrath of the Ice Princess!
:
I didn't give any instructions though…
:
Anyway, I feel sick.
:
(She's a selfish woman.)
:
(That's right! In these cases…)
Ooh, I think Hiro has a plan.
:
A beautiful person like you shouldn't look like that, you look like a tarnished diamond.
:
Come on, laugh quickly, like the stars in the night sky. Bring back that wonderful glow.
Wow ... Uh, you haven't been been reading any negging dating playbooks by any chance, Hiro?
:
Without your smile. I lose the will to live.
: (was it a bit stinky?)
Yes Hiro. It was.
:
That's a problem.
:
(Good, good, he's getting into it)
:
Because of your smile. Men all over the world can survive.Your smile is like sunlight.
:
Your laugh would melt even the glaciers of Pluto.
:
(Maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration...)
:
I guess you're pretty cool too.
Wait, don't tell me this is actually working...
:
(Kukukuku, this guy is an idiot)
:
No no, not at all. I'm honored to say it's wonderful.
:
I can't stand it when you say that to me. Men all over the world become assassins. They're coming to kill me.
Jesus Hiro, you just met this lady.
:
I just want to be able to do 0-4 with you. I will live with those memories in my heart for the rest of my life
.
:
I guess it can't be helped if you say that.
: :
(Great, it worked)
Hiro my friend, I feel you could have just opened with 'do your want to race?' And avoided this whole thing.
:
But I don't like poor people. I have at least three cars. If you're not human, I won't bother you.
Wait what? Is she saying we're less than human if we don't have at least three cars?
:
What, this is the only car you have!?
:
No, I have it but I left it behind.
:
If so, go and get it! Otherwise I won't do it.
:
Oh yeah…
Well. It seems the Ice Princess won't race us because we have too few cars. I didn't realise that was a prerequisite to racing.
This is timely however, since I've been wanting to shuffle things up with a new car. Next time we'll visit the shop and go over our options.
