Ryo: "Are...Are you sure I am the first one to go?"
Shu: "It can't be helped, since you're the one who lost the most."
Shin: "Ryo is not good at playing cards."
Ryo: "BECAUSE it's the first time I played 'The Very Poor'!! "

(Note: "Daihinmin" is the name of a card game, literally, "The Very Poor"
The rule of the game is the following:
1. Optimally, this is a game for 4 players, but could be played by 3 or more players.
2. There are some optional rules of this game, which would be described in more details below.)
3. Use all 54 cards (52 regular + 2 Joker). Pass out all cards to all player.
4. In this game, 2 is the biggest number, while 3 is the smallest. Joker is bigger than 2. That is: Joker > 2 > A > K >.....> 4 > 3. As most card game, Spade > heart > diamond > club.
5. Start from the one who lost the most in the last turn (For the first turn, decided randomly by the player). Choose 1 to 4 cards (the values of the cards has to match each other, such as all 1s, 2s, etc) and put in the center. In a clockwise order, other players are to match the same number of cards with a higher value (for example, a pair of 4s, a pair of 7s, a pair of 9s, a pair of Js...and so on.) A player has to "Pass" is he or she does not have any cards to match. When all other players said "Pass", the player
with the highest value then will decide the next set of cards to be matched.
6. A player wins when he or she has no card left. The first 2 places are called "The Very Rich" and "The Rich", while the last 2 places are called "The Poor" and "The Very Poor". The socres are 4 points, 2 points, 1 point, and 0 point. (If there are more than 4 players, then no points after the third place).
7. After the cards are given out again for the next turn, "The Very Poor" has to give the 2 biggest cards (except Joker) to "The Very Rich", which "The Very Rich" could choose any 2 cards to give back in exchange. "The Poor" has to give 1 biggest card to "The Rich", while "The Rich" choose any 1 card and give back.
8. The winner is the person who first got 16 points in total.
9. Optional rules # 1 "Kakumei (literally, Revolution)": When a player choose 4 cards of the same value, it is called "Revolution." and all values are reversed. That is, 3 becomes the biggest, and 2 becomes the smallest. (Joker is not affected). If another player use "Revolution" again, then the values are reversed again.
10. Optional rule # 2: "Tenraku (literally, Fall)": If a player other than "The Very Rich" of last turn win, and becomes "The Very Rich", the last "The Very Rich" automatically becomes "The Very Poor" of this turn.
11. Optional rule #3: No Joker or 2 could be used as the set of cards to be matched in the last 2 runs.)

There is a good store of black tea around here. They import good black tea continuously."
"Oh, it is O.K.? I'm so glad."
"Then, let's go."
........
Touma: "He walked away."
Ryo: "It's indeed the way Shin is. ('Sasuga', indeed .....the way it is./.....as expected. Here is used as a praising sense that how good Shin is at this.)
Shu: "I guess the only thing we can do is to interfere them."
"HEY, Shin, don't leave us here."
Seiji: "If that's such a good store of black tea, then we would like you to introduce us to it, too."
Ryo, Shu, Touma: "ME TOO. ME TOO. (speaking together)..."
Shin: "DON'T STAND IN MY WAY."
