Chopsticks!!! [EP6] Form of a jasper-colored lollipop. 2/3 licks remaining.

Not to be confused with her EP5 chopsticks memory.

"Uh, ......oh, right, speaking of problems with coins, I've heard that you can tell whether someone's good with chopsticks or not by seeing if they can pick up coins with them..."
"Chopsticks! Yes, chopsticks, that's right. Chopsticks are the most elegant utensil on the planet. Poking things and chopping them up with forks and knives is so barbaric! Chopsticks are the best. For me, using chopsticks is truly an art."
Jessica was about to say 'isn't a chopstick just a stick?'...but stopped herself just in time.

She realized that it was best to let George take control for now...
"I have a coin here, so would you like to challenge me? I'm pretty good with chopsticks."
"Th, that's right... We trained George very well with chopsticks."
"True. Upbringing is what makes for good table manners. Erika-san was very impressive herself."
"I'll lend you some coins too. It'll probably be more fun with more of them."
"Jessica. Watch closely and learn."
"D, dammit...!"
"Alright, let's go. Let's see who can move the most coins over to their plate."
"Bring it on!! Chopsticks, chopsticks, haah haah!!"
......This time, George had steered the conversation into a good direction.

Everyone else understood, and they helped to egg on this chopstick fight and change the subject.
They were fully aware by now that Erika was extremely proud of her intelligence.
And apparently, she had the bad habit of using that to look down on other people.
She spun her chopsticks around with the deft hand of a juggler, staring at the coins scattered on the table like a dog begging for a meal......

Notes:
- chopsticks are the best :D
- some frustration that she still hasn't gotten her chopsticks skill back yet :(
