In the corner of Electrical Appliance Street, there is a console game room called "Survival Strategy". It has a variety of popular console models and is equipped with TVs. Players who have bought game discs elsewhere or have not yet decided whether to buy the game can try it out. The former Free, the latter is charged based on time.
This kind of store doesn't sound very compliant with the rules, and is even illegal in theory, but since it can always be open, it makes sense.
At this time, the store was crowded, and many people joining in the fun were watching the two "players" who looked similar but had very different temperaments, but they did not dare to approach them at all.
"The content of my game is real in other worlds." Keri, who was wearing black clothes, black pants, and a ponytail, with blond hair and blue eyes, controlled her character to stab a heavily armored knight in the back, and then said.
"Ah, of course, I know." Jean Gray, who was wearing a black dress, a fur coat, white hair and golden eyes, controlled her character to jump from the roof, and launched a brutal killing attack on a fat monk from behind.
"But the game you are playing does not exist, why?" Keri used her shield to deflect the sword swung by another knight, and then struck the sword in the chest.
"Because it has 'Dragon Cough'," Qin Gree said, emptying the Fat Monk's second blood tube with a few tricks: "The protagonist can die an unlimited number of times, but it won't work if too many deaths will affect other NPCs."
"I see."
"That's it."
In the corner of the trial store, Sherlock and Natasha, two people with extremely different identities in various senses, were talking together.
"What's going on? Didn't that 'Qin Gray' avoid us last time?"
"Are you planning to go directly to Tokyo Tower after leaving Akihabara?"
"Yes, that's the source of this incident. 'Kelly' can easily solve it."
"And 'Qin Gray' said 'it's not the time yet' and 'we must find a way to slow down their journey', so she came."
"By tricking her into playing games?"
"Just say you haven't delayed it."
"What's the reason?"
"Who are you asking me? I am not the 'Lord of Dimension'."
At this moment, the onlookers who were driven away by Kelly and Qin Gray's aura of keeping strangers away let out bursts of exclamations:
"Oh my god! She chopped the old lady!" "The dancer is down!"
"Ah? What kind of evil speedway is this?" "I just remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas at Ashina Castle, so I'm leaving now."

Shinjuku.
Near Kabukicho, in a bustling corner, there is a bar called "Little Song", which is elegantly decorated and looks very low-key. Although there is an "Open" sign on the door, almost no one is around. Choose such an "ugly duckling" among "swans".
almost.
Jingle bell, "Welcome light-eh."
The bartender, who had gray hair and looked over fifty, wiped his glass and looked at the door, then froze.
Entering through the door were a man and a woman, both wearing black suits and top hats. The woman looked like a bodyguard and looked around warily as soon as she entered. The man wore sunglasses so his expression could not be seen, but he acted very calmly.
"Welcome light? Is this kind of welcome word popular recently?" The man adjusted his sunglasses and looked at the bartender: "Why are you here? Classmate James Moriarty?"
"Guest, do you admit your mistake——"
"Although I haven't actually attended classes, I actually have the status of 'Hogwarts substitute professor.'" The man took off his sunglasses, revealing the face of Matt Murdock: "As an underage student at school,
But working in a bar, deducting——"
"I'm not working! Because there is no salary!" the "old man" interrupted him hastily.
"That means being coerced?" Murdoch looked around the bar: "As far as I know, this should be the property of Ms. Mishima who controls the entire Kabukicho."
"It was before yesterday,"
Moriarty nimbly climbed over the counter and closed the store door, then changed the sign to "Under Rest". Then a puff of smoke came out of him, and he instantly transformed back into a white-blond boy with a slightly arrogant expression:
"My lord's sister smashed up one of the boss's stores before, and then knocked down all the thugs who came after hearing the news. Finally, she came all the way here, only to find that the manager behind the scenes had escaped early."
"What does this have to do with you pretending to be a bartender here?" Murdoch put on his sunglasses again.
"This is called 'waiting for rabbits at the tree stump'," Moriarty walked back behind the counter: "Her subordinates will probably think that we have been taken care of by their boss when they see us coming in but not going out, so they will come and see us.
She showed her loyalty, and then we subdued her on the spot, followed the clues to find her, and then controlled her offline, making her homeless even if she came back."
"Even if you don't stay here long?"
"The BOSS said, 'Buddhas fight for a breath, and people fight for a stick of incense.' If you offend her, you must be prepared to uproot the entire force." Moriarty spread his hands: "As for what she will do before she goes back.
Dealing with these industries and relationships... is not what I should be concerned about."
"Perhaps, they can be transferred to the Hand?" Murdoch gestured to Erica who remained silent behind him.
"Isn't that the one who claims to cover the sky with one hand but has been chased and beaten like a dog in many cities recently..." Moriarty raised his eyebrows: "Did you do it? Did you want to support your own people to control it?"
"You seem to have a lot of misunderstandings, but essentially you are right," Murdoch twirled his cane: "However, you shouldn't be able to make decisions for your 'master's sister'. When will she come back?"
"She should still be in Kabukicho. After she became familiar with modern society, she didn't let me follow her. I guess-"
bump!
"Why do you close the door before midnight!?" The bar door was slammed open, and a tall woman wearing an evening gown and high heels walked in with a sullen tone: "Follow me! Let's go and clear this place.
I took back all my alcohol logistics business, and that guy who looks like a vampire hunter dares to laugh at me for not knowing how to drink, then he won’t drink anymore!”
"Okay, Miss Uma." Moriarty quickly transformed back into an old gentleman in his fifties.
"Theoretically, business cannot be taken away by force." Murdoch interjected.
"Huh? Who are you?" The woman known as Uma seemed to have finally discovered that there was an irrelevant person in the room, and asked Murdoch closely.
"I--"
"I didn't ask you,"
She raised her hand and waved away Murdoch, walked straight to Erica behind him and grabbed her hand:
"Such a pure and rich dark aura... Are you interested in becoming my sister's dependent?"
"Ah?" Erica looked at Murdoch at a loss.
"Don't look at others," Uma raised her hand and waved around: "As long as you agree, I will give you this entire... entire city in the name of the 'Lord of the Dark Dimension'!"
