chapter 18
18 – Falling in love with just one doll is troublesome, Hoshizora-senpai.
Test results.
We all managed to avoid failing grades.
Speaking of test scores, Amelia scored 61 points, Ryunosuke 77 points, Ohana 81 points, and me 94 points.
There were some problems that I was familiar with because I had seen them once, but the genealogy prepared by Sojuro was a big help.
After school, Ryunosuke decided to go back with Ohana. I was also thinking of asking her Amelia to go back together, but I decided to send her first in case she did.
It must be because of my mood that I felt the slightly sad expression on my face.
“What do I do now… ….”
It’s hard to go back right now, so let’s kill some time at the game center.
……
…………
Let’s go to the game center, the sound of the arcade machines still roared as if they were going to eat each other.
When I went to a place where fighting games were lined up, I saw a familiar face.
‘…… Tsubasa?’
I’m playing Queen of Fighters 99, and looking at the character I played, it was clear that I was resentful of what happened last time.
Maybe it wasn’t a character I played often, or my overall play style wasn’t stable.
Thanks to that, Tsubasa, who showed a complete victory in each match, was showing a bit of a losing streak.
‘Certainly, practicing a character would be difficult.’
Those who rely solely on skill honestly do not use strategies like Yapsap or Niga.
In reality, Tsubasa was destroying the enemy by continuing onslaught without rest.
Boom!
“Hey! Do you use the game like that!!”
At the same time as the sound of a chair kicking off the floor, a man wearing a mask and a gakuran approached Tsubasa from behind the game machine.
No matter how you look at it, he was a bully.
“…… Isn’t it a little bit betting on an honest play?”
“Ah? This damn woman!”
It is best to pay attention to troublesome things. It was right after I turned around thinking that.
“Have you been watching since before, Kim?”
Tsubasa came up to me and said. No, this woman. Do you really have no conscience?
‘I told you to ask for help when I asked for help… ….’
Anyway, it’s a familiar face. If she was someone she didn’t even have to care about, she would have passed by even after hearing these words……
“What are you doing! Aha, you seem to be her boyfriend, right?”
“Isn’t it ugly with just one game?”
“One match?! Correct me! To beat me all five rounds, without using magic…… !”
“Did you play with me? What are you so dissatisfied with losing with the game? Human.”
“Keuuu, you bastard…… ! Well spoken! If you win, I’ll do it without it!!”
The bully said with a grim expression.
Oh, that’s a good suggestion.
There’s nothing better than finishing without punching. There’s nothing good about making a fuss.
“A man wouldn’t say two words with one mouth. Great.”
“You cheeky bastard, come on!! I will crush you!”
“As much as you like.”
Yangachi went back to the game machine on the other side. Lightly here.
……
…………
“Damn, why can’t I win!!”
From the other side, the screams of bullies could be heard. Tsubasa, who was watching the scene from behind, said with a calm expression.
“I was surprised, the connection. How did you do it?”
“You just have to do it.”
“It would be nice if you could give me detailed commands as information.”
“Isn’t it enough to just look at it with your eyes and learn?”
While talking moderately with Tsubasa, she said 10 wins on the LCD of the board.
She pressed her nose this much, so she wouldn’t be able to say anything over there either.
Fortunately, the other side quietly withdrew. He seemed angry about losing to a woman. I see you don’t say anything to me.
Tsubasa sighed and opened her mouth.
“It would be nice to say thank you here. Kim, I lived because of your help.”
“Well, with this much. Because it wasn’t difficult. By the way…… What are you doing here, Hoshizora-senpai?”
When I said it in moderation, as if asking a question, she said with a slightly pouting expression.
“The student council work is not going well today. So I’m here to play some games…… “
“Aha, is that so?”
“So, Kim, what are you doing at the game center?”
“Did you come because there was something special? I just stopped by after the time.”
“I see…… Okay.”
Tsubasa nodded as if she understood what I was saying.
“I tried to do some doll drawing, but it didn’t work out.”
“Draw a doll…… You mean?”
“Yes.”
I didn’t mean it in empty words. It would be enough to kill time, but I wanted to give Amelia a gift of at least one doll on my own.
Rather than just buying, I had the feeling of wanting to pluck and buy.
“Then let me help you.”
“Are you Hoshizora-senpai?”
“First of all, I have a body that knows how to draw dolls to some extent.”
“In that case, please study for me.”
“It is not difficult.”
Tsubasa took out her coin purse and walked over to her doll machine.
“Technique is important in drawing dolls. Take a good look.”
Saying that, Tsubasa moved her joystick dazzlingly. It’s like she’s typing the arcade’s hidden commands.
Up Down Up Up Down Right Right Top Left Top Front!
She flashed the stick, then quickly pressed the crane button.
Weiying……
As the crane machine rotated, it carefully moved to grab the doll. The dolls caught were not small or medium, but large.
The crane device carefully lifted the doll and moved it. You say you can do this in 1t?
Before that question came to mind, Crane let go of the doll he was carrying.
Seeing that, Tsubasa nodded his head and said.
“I understand. The grip strength adjusted to the crane device is about C, and the average weight of the doll is about B…… This is going to be hard to pull out. This device.”
“…… Is there such a rule, Hoshizora-senpai?”
“Sure. Kim doesn’t know the details of the crane machine’s laws.”
“Huh?”
I don’t know for sure. Even if you enjoy fighting games, shooting games, and RPGs, you should have played a doll drawing before.
“If you look closely, you might think that the dolls are designed to be difficult to draw, but it’s a little different. Let’s take an example…… It is a rule to adjust the level of difficulty according to the weight of the doll and the grip strength of each crane.”
“I understand that, but did you know if you did it once like this?”
“Sure. Because my eyesight has never been wrong.”
“Really?”
I also took a coin out of my coin purse and put the money into the claw machine.
The game machine that Tsubasa failed.
Tsubasa said to me with a strange expression.
“Kim-kun, didn’t you just tell me? It’s a game designed to be unplayable…… “
“If it doesn’t work, I quit.”
Tsubasa’s worries I did not give in to his young words and calmly followed Tsubasa’s actions.
While shaking the joystick quickly, apply rotation to the crane machine.
Pressed the crane button at the same time.
Wheein……
Once again, the crane machine moved.
The grip of the crane device holding the doll was not very good, but as the crane machine rotated, luckily the crane correctly caught the tag part of the doll that had not been pulled out and grabbed it.
Tsubasa must have seen it too, so she said while covering her mouth with her hand.
“Oh, does this work?”
“Are you successful?”
“Yes. The tag was just threaded thanks to the rotation of the crane machine. This isn’t a grip problem, it’s a technique part…… It’s amazing, Kim.”
“Ahahahaha… ….”
The doll Tsubasa was aiming for was a doll called a resting bear. It is a teddy bear with a relaxed expression that is the highlight.
After listening to the story, he said that the doll he picked was a product that could be sold at an auction on the Internet for about 50,000 yen.
Less.
A doll too bulky to hold with both hands rolled out from inside the crane machine.
“Rest bear…… “
Tsubasa muttered to himself as he looked at the doll that came out of the machine.
‘Ah, come to think of it…… Tsubasa liked resting bears.’
I remember there was a part where I was quite obsessed with it. Some of them are soft and fluffy when you hold them, but did they say that they look cute and look relaxed and relaxed?
It caught my eye that he was constantly looking at the giant resting teddy bear, so he asked Tsubasa insinuatingly.
“Senior Hoshizora.”
“What, what is going on? Mr. Kim.”
Tsubasa licks his lips in a bit of regret.
As expected, it seems to want to have it.
Yes, yes. I knew. I have to give it.
Originally, I was going to present it to Amelia, but I just need to pick another one to give to Amelia.
“It looks like you want it, take it.”
“…… I, something like that…… Do you think you want it?”
Speaks as if pouting while slightly turning his head.
That’s right. Don’t act like you’re not, Tsubasa. Can’t wait to have that?
“I was going to pick another one anyway, so let the senior take one.”
“…… You don’t think I’ll get over that, do you, Mr. Kim?”
“What do you mean? What are you passing? To come over. Just take when you give.”
“Okay. Then, I will take it as a thank you.”
Tsubasa carefully took the giant resting teddy bear that rolled out of her machine into her arms.
I was the size I could wear on my side with one hand, but it seems a bit difficult for a woman to lift.
After that, after spending about 2,000 yen in a coin purse, I was able to pick up another huge resting teddy bear.
“Let’s go now, senpai. Thank you for hanging out.”
“…… It’s hard to lift, this.”
“I have no intention of listening to you instead.”
“Who asked you to listen?”
Tsubasa said curtly. She was holding the doll in her arms, so it was a bit of a pity she couldn’t see her expression.
“Don’t fall for me just because I picked out a doll for you.”
“What, what?! You’re talking weird, Mr. Kim! Knowing what he’s talking about…… “
“Yes, yes. I know. Just joke. Don’t take it too seriously, Hoshizora-senpai. Then, I go first.”
“…… Yes, go in carefully.”
Somehow, I felt Tsubasa’s tail stretch.
I don’t know what the expression behind the doll was like.
She also pulled out her gift for Amelia, so let her go back.
