"...Asuga Innō!" Kyūri proclaimed.
A deliciously rotund tanuki ran towards the old kappa, completely naked as per the custom of the village of Toyoda. "Really, me?" shi asked. "Awesome!"
"No fucking way!" Maruko gasped. Shi nudged Akane, pointed to Asuga, and said "That's Asuga Innō, my ex-girlfriend! Shi gets to represent Toyoda?! Asuga?!"
Akane eyed Asuga's body appreciatively. "Shi has got a damn cute belly. Nice and round."
"Not a bad dick either," Tsubame added as shi preened hir feathers. "And check out those enormous balls! They look like melons!"
"Yeah, I know shi's hot," Maruko growled, glaring daggers at Asuga as the anthropomorphic raccoon dog accepted the certificate. "But that doesn't mean I'm not mad shi broke up with me. Shi took my heart and smashed it to pieces! Shi's the reason I've been too depressed and stressed to maintain my potbelly! It wasted away to nothing because of hir! That bitch took my fat! MY FAT!!" By now, Maruko was shouting. Some of the crowd was starting to stare.
"Why'd shi break up with you, Maruko-san?" Misaki asked.
"Shi wanted to sleep around," Maruko said bitterly. "Shi begged me to agree to an open relationship, but I just couldn't do it. Maybe some tanuki would enjoy that, but I want to have something special and exclusive with my partner. When I told hir so, shi said shi couldn't do this anymore and dumped me!"
"Bitch," Kijo grunted.
"Shi certainly is!" Maruko sniffed. "I hope shi goes to America and stays there!"
"Congratulations, Asuga-san," Kyūri said. "I hope you have an enjoyable and educational stay in America. May you serve as a good representative of Japan and its values! Now could you please quit preening and go back to your friends in the crowd?"
"Oops," Asuga chuckled merrily. "Sorry." Shi jogged back over to hir friends from Toyoda to celebrate.
"That takes care of Toyoda High School," said Kyūri. "One moment, please." The kappa sumo master dumped the remaining paper slips out of the pot and into the grass. He straightened the pot and once again ran inside with little Nariko to fetch the next sack. The two kappas returned and, with some gymnastics, dumped the third sack's contents into the chankonabe pot.
"Is it just me, Grandpa," asked Nariko, "or is this sack heavier than the last one?"
"Inamura is a very large and prosperous village," Kyūri responded. He turned to address the crowd. "And now we come to the entries from the kitsune village of Inamura! I know all of you curious kitsune are eager to see America, but remember, there can only be one winner... not counting the bonus slot, of course. Hope you all remembered to double-enter. But enough talk! On to the Inamura slot!"
Kyūri reached into the old chankonabe pot's mass of papers and wiggled his hand around randomly for a minute. Finally, he closed his sturdy fingers around a slip of paper and pulled it out for inspection. "Listen up!" the kappa shouted. "The Inamura High School exchange student is..."
