Chapter 69 I didn’t expect Fujiwara-kun to be a black hole in the game
Take two stops from Miwa Station to reach the newly opened arcade that Miyano Akemi mentioned.
Super Player, Super Player, is the name of this game arcade located in Yoneka Town.
Fujiwara Yu looked up at the store sign with flashing neon lights during the day. He was a little worried about the boss's monthly profit, whether he would not even be able to earn back the commercial electricity consumption.
But after the automatic sensor door opened, what greeted us was the deafening sound of music and the passionate howls of the players. I don’t know what game they were playing that could make them so excited that they made noisy noises like no one else was around.
Fujiwara Yu was in such an environment. When he walked to the bar, he couldn't help but raise his voice and asked loudly:
"How much game currency do you think is appropriate for us to exchange?"
"This store does not use game coins." Miyano Akemi pointed to the notice poster next to her and explained with a smile: "It seems that just using one hundred yen coins will be enough. One coin is one game, which is quite cheap."
"That's it, then what do you want to play?"
After Miyano Akemi thought for a moment, her eyes fell on the place where many couples gathered. She raised her finger and pointed to the row of claw machines and suggested:
"Why don't we go catch dolls and compete to see who can catch more five coins?"
"Can."
The two came to the claw machine area. Before they put in the coins, they heard the girl next to them praising her boyfriend because her boyfriend seemed to be talented at catching dolls. They could tell from the pile of dolls next to them.
The performance is very good.
Fujiwara Yuu, who had an inexplicable desire to win, was as serious as studying for the last extra question in an exam. He frowned and started to look around the claw machine, in order to use his naked eyes to calculate the best grabbing angle and grabbing time.
.
"Fujiwara-kun, what are you doing?" Miyano Akemi tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand why Fujiwara wanted to observe the claw machine from multiple angles, so she asked aloud.
"Calculating the best grabbing angle and time, well, it should be fine."
After calculating it in his head, Fujiwara Yu finally put the one hundred yen coin into the machine. After his own calculations, he quickly pressed the capture button when he reached the appropriate aiming position.
With the word "confidence".
The claws indeed grabbed the rabbit doll closest to the exit very accurately, but what Fujiwara Yu didn't expect was that the grasping strength of the claws was so small that it could not bear the weight of the doll, and even a slight shake during the movement caused the doll to collapse.
Dropped.
The faint smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by confusion.
Miyano Akemi, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth and snickered. I didn't expect the deflated Fujiwara-kun to be quite cute.
Fujiwara Yu didn't expect that the grabbing force of this game console was so small. Feeling puzzled, he began to calculate the inertia of the object and what method could be used to successfully transport the doll to the exit. After his brain was running rapidly, he took action again.
However, reality is often contrary to ideals. The failure to score twice made him taste the Waterloo called "reality". The final answer was that all five coins failed and he lost all his money.
"Can you give me another chance?"
"Okay, give Mr. Fujiwara one more chance, and I'll catch it with you."
"Um."
Fujiwara Yu frowned and took a deep breath and sighed slowly. He used the high concentration he only had when shooting an arrow and rationally used the physics knowledge he had learned to shoot again, but what he was waiting for was the sixth failure.
Is this claw machine a scam? Is it impossible to catch anything?
Just when Fujiwara Yu's thoughts burst out, he felt something poked his arm twice. He looked sideways in confusion and found a cute tiger doll appearing in his field of vision.
The owner of the tiger doll is Masami Saito who is fascinated by it.
"...You caught it?"
"Yeah, I originally thought I didn't catch it, but who knew that when I fell, I knocked down the one at the entrance. I'm really lucky!"
Is this the difference between European emperors and non-chiefs? Fujiwara Yu, who always encountered cases in the past, did not think it was his bad luck, but now a claw machine made him want to go to the shrine to ask for a guard to remove his bad luck.
Already.
There was a smile on Miyano Akemi's lips, but she did not continue to grab it. Instead, she pointed to the King of Fighters arcade aside with satisfaction, trying to save some face for Fujiwara Yuu, but the result was not satisfactory.
Miyano Akemi originally thought that Fujiwara Yuu was just a bit unlucky, but she didn't expect that he was not good at playing games at all. He could not even play fighting arcade games that boys are basically good at - I really didn't expect that Fujiwara-kun was a gamer.
Black hole.
She had noticed very early that the straight-backed Fujiwara Yuu was so decadent that he was hunched over after each failure, just like a German shepherd who wanted to show his strength and kept losing in the competition, which made her couldn't help but raise her head.
She gently rubbed his head twice with her hand, and this move also made the other person's body stiffen.
The slightly intimate gesture made Fujiwara Yu's ears turn red. He blinked his eyes quickly as much as possible to prevent his voice from trembling, and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty in my hair?"
"Ah...well, there is a fly." Miyano Akemi took back her hand in time, and said with a little embarrassment in her tone: "I feel like I have been playing here for a long time, how about going to the nearby Rice Flower Shrine? I kind of want to go there.
Buy a guard while you're at it."
"Okay, it just so happens that the smell of cigarette smoke here is a bit strong. Staying here for a long time is not good for your health." Fujiwara Yu couldn't help cheering in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to find a way to play all the facilities in the arcade, and even wanted to top up his money.
The VIP impulse is to get back to the home court in the future.
After the two of them left the smoky arcade, they finally breathed fresh air, and even the noise in their ears disappeared. They didn't have to raise their voices to chat. If they stayed any longer, their throats would become hoarse.
Follow the 3-chome road all the way north to reach the largest shrine in Miwa Town, Miwa Shrine. While standing at the T-junction waiting for the traffic light, Miyano Akemi suddenly noticed that the plastic bag in the hand of the old woman across the street was leaking, one after another.
One of the oranges fell. She quickly ran forward when the red light turned to green, bent down to help the old woman pick up the oranges.
"Grandma! Your orange fell off!"
The gray-haired old lady couldn't help but turn around. When she saw the boys and girls standing behind her who kept bending down to help pick up the oranges, she showed an embarrassed and honest smile and said:
"Oh, please help me, thank you!"
"You're welcome." Fujiwara Yu quickly helped pick up the oranges, looked around to make sure nothing was missing, and then said, "Grandma, where do you live? Let's give you a ride."
"That's really embarrassing, I live in the apartment building over there."
Miyano Akemi also took out the cloth bag outside the lunch box from her bag, put all the oranges in it and said with a smile:
"This way we won't miss anything. Grandma, please lead the way."
