It was already very late after Momotani Mika returned home after explaining. She woke up from bed around noon the next day. She quickly washed herself, tied her shoulder-length hair into a ponytail, and then changed herself into clothes suitable for going out.

Wearing a yellow shirt, a denim jacket and ankle-length jeans, and wearing the most common flat shoes in Japan, this is one of the few sets of clothes that Mixia bought for herself during the past six months.

The skirt she wore yesterday made her look like a high school girl, so wearing this skirt today, she looks like a little girl who dropped out of high school and worked in a ktv, trying to be cool but soft and cute at heart.

Meixia looked in the mirror and felt good about herself.

At least ignore this face, the cool cover style on the surface is achieved.

Just after breakfast, or rather lunch, I saw my sister coming home from weekend cram school.

"Ah! Oh, why are you dressed so, um - formal today? Are you having a meeting with netizens?" Risa took off her shoes after entering the house with a surprised tone. She searched for a long time in her mind before she could come up with an adjective for Mixia's outfit.

"It can't be because of work. Your sister and I are now the most famous e-sports player in Japan. It's not right to play games at home disheveled all day long!" Mixia replied.

"Oh..." Risa was sure that Miha was going to play in North America, so it was reasonable for her to go out due to work. She tried, "Didn't I already explain it yesterday? There is a game today, or I have to do other things.

?”

Seeing her sister still asking questions in a daze, Mixia couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"Uh-huh, I lied to you! There is indeed a competition today, and e-sports players will also receive a lot of work during the holidays, but your sister, I just like to enjoy life. Go change clothes, you are not asking me to take you to the arcade to win Hatsune

It’s a doll!”

"Ah?! I thought you refused, so just wait for me and I'll change my clothes right away!" Risa's schoolbag was still on the floor, and she happily went to the bedroom to change into her normal clothes.



An hour and a half later, Mixia walked out of the station with her sister in a pink skirt and went to the game center.

The Sega Arena with its red signboard occupies three floors and is far more luxurious than the poorly decorated arcade she went to in her previous life as a child.

But after entering the museum, she realized that her sister had an outrageous understanding of the word arcade.

The three-story Sega Game Center is divided into a claw machine area on the first floor, an old-fashioned arcade area on the second floor, and the latest game machine area on the third floor.

And what Risa said could win Hatsune dolls were the two claw machines placed in the most conspicuous positions on the first floor.

"Can this be considered an arcade game?" Meixia looked at the twin ponytail plush dolls in the pale pink transparent case and the two simple operating levers outside the case, and she didn't know how to start.

Risa explained, "The notice outside the museum said that the latest machine can win Hatsune dolls! I didn't come in to see it, I just thought it was an arcade game. And... they are all operated by hand sticks, so there shouldn't be much difference.

Then, if you don’t know how to catch me, Niejiang, let’s leave, and we can go to a clothing store to buy you clothes that are more suitable for Tokyo’s number one female player!”

"Who said I can't play the claw machine!" Mixia was unconvinced. It stands to reason that as long as you are clever and quick in reaction, and find the most suitable opportunity to take action, there is not much difference between catching dolls and playing video games.

"Be optimistic about the strength of Tokyo's number one female professional player in e-sports!" she said, throwing coins into the claw machine.

Click, click, click...

Move the joystick gently with your fingers.

Press the grab button firmly.

The hook claw went down to grab the prey that Mixia was targeting, but the doll only caught it mid-air before plopping down.

"I didn't get the angle right the first time. I should try a few more times and I should be able to succeed!" Mixia explained hurriedly.

Second shot.

Click!

This time the doll was only scratched by the claws and turned over.

"The hook is too loose!" Mixia said.

Risa felt that her misunderstanding had deceived Mixia. She originally wanted to make Oh Nie-chan's time before leaving Tokyo a happy one, so she searched online for entertainment activities related to e-sports, but she kept wasting too much time on claw machines.

Not interesting.

She dissuaded, "Forget it! There is a big difference between catching dolls and arcade machines! I made a mistake and mistook the terminal on the notice for an arcade machine. Let's not waste time and go upstairs to play arcade games!"

"

"Try one last time." Mixia will never allow it to be embarrassing in front of her sister!

She began to think seriously about how to catch the doll. It was not suitable for her to rely on feeling like a veteran, because experience required accumulation over many years, and the quick way could only be to simply copy the claws of those who succeeded in catching the doll.

angles and distances.

Meixia peeped at Gao Wan, who was controlling the claw machine next to her, and tried to remember all the timings of her action.

The man succeeded four times in six or seven attempts. The Hatsune doll he grabbed was almost covering his chin when he held it in his chest.

"Little sister, do you also like Hatsune's dolls?" Noticing Mixia's gaze, the doll-catching master said, "Do you want it? For the sake of how cute you are, I will go upstairs with my sister to play a few arcade games later.

, how about giving each person one for free."

"Really! Then..." Risa felt that the other party was also a girl and wouldn't have any bad intentions, so she immediately happily wanted to agree.

But Mixia was stepped on and hurt. Even if her biological age is only calculated, she graduated from high school and is over 18 years old. Who is the little sister!

She stopped Risa and explained to her, "I just want to see how you catch the doll, so I don't want the doll you gave me! Also, I'm an adult!"

"What?" The girl who was over 1.7 meters tall gestured to Mixia's head and said in surprise, "You're lying, I guess she's just a high school student at most..."

Meixia was even more angry. Her height of 1.6 meters was not considered short in Japan where women were generally over 1.5 meters. She looked young purely because of her appearance. This was the first time that she was suppressed by girls in Tokyo based on her height.

What are you talking about? In my previous life, I was 1.8 meters tall and came over to kill them all!

"Concentrate on catching your doll." Mixia said.

"Well, watch out! The claw machine is very rare. It took me a long time to master it!" The girl turned around and dragged the joystick. With the intention of showing off in front of Mixia, her movements became more precise.

The hook successfully hit Miku's twin tails and pulled her out of the chassis.

Click!

"How is it? Is it serious?" The girl said with a hopeful expression on her face.

"What a simple technique, I have completely mastered it!" Mixia said, while inserting coins into the claw machine in front of her.

Although she didn't know the principle of successful grabbing and didn't have any feel for it, she had already kept the distance and angle of the hook in mind.

The control speed is faster than the opponent, and the hand is steadier than the opponent.

The hook caught Miku in the chassis as quickly as possible.

Click! The Hatsune Miku doll falls into the exit!
