When they arrive at the arcade, Shishio understands why this place is quite quiet because it is located in a fairly quiet place, but he has to admit that the size of the building is quite large, and the building is quite new.
'Should it be three or four years?'
Shishio thought while observing the buildings outside and wondered if the people who built these arcades were just for a hobby and did not care about business at all, but he doesn't really care as long as the game in it is good.
On the other hand, Shiina looked at the arcade calmly, wondering what kind of game was inside since this was her first time being here.
"All right, let's go in!" Nana smiled as she led everyone in.
Everyone nodded and entered the arcade together.
The doors automatically open automatically, and they enter the arcade corridor.
Inside the corridor, there were several benches lined up on the right side, and there were also some vending machines on the left side.
Shishio knew that this corridor was meant to be used as a resting place for customers.
It might be small, but he wasn't too surprised because the land in Tokyo was so limited, so the architects of this country always tried their best to optimize the use of every space inside a building.
"Let's have a drink before the battle. I'll treat you all" said Shishio.
"Huh?" Everyone is surprised.
"Are you sure, Shishio?" Miu asked because she felt strange, before Shishio asked if their activities in the arcade could use money from the club, but now, he suddenly said that he would treat everyone.
"It's okay. I just got a bonus from my part-time job," Shishio said because the money he won from gambling at the Kengan Games had previously been sent to his parent company's account.
"A part-time job?" Everyone was shocked again because they did not expect that Shishio would also do a part-time job.
Saki looked at Shishio strangely because she knew what kind of part-time job he was doing and how much money he was getting from that fight, including the stakes he was doing himself.
Even if he treated everyone with drinks and played in the arcade together, the amount of money in his account would not decrease at all.
"What kind of part-time job?" ask Ritsu.
"Programming," said Shishio simply.
"Programming?" No one was sure what to say at the time.
They thought it would be some kind of service work, even Mea thought that this guy might be the host, but no one expected that he would become a programmer.
"By the way, what do you want? I will treat you all here" said Shishio.
He then looked at Saki and said, "Saki, help me get their drinks."
"Un." Saki nodded and also helped Shishio.
He also glanced at her, who was lying without blinking her eyes, which made him speechless, but he did not say much.
After all, there was no way he would tell everyone that he was a fighter at the underground game, right?
"....." Everyone looked at Saki and Shishio and felt that their relationship was very close, right?
After all, this was the first time they had met Saki.
Unlike Nana, who was very close to Saki, the others did not know much about her.
Shishio then chooses "Pocari", opens the bottle, and immediately drinks it.
He tasted like a light wine and felt that the taste was very similar to the drink he often drank in his previous life, which somehow made him a little nostalgic.
Everyone who hesitated for a while decided to accept Shishio's treat.
After all, they had offered to treat them, and were too rude to refuse them, especially when he said that the price of drinks in vending machines was very cheap.
"Why haven't I heard that you can do programming?" Nana asked curiously while drinking cola.
“It's not an interesting job, all you need to do is write the code in front of the laptop, and rather than talk about this, how about we have a match here? the match in the previous fighting game," Shishio said as he looked at Nana.
"Good!" Nana became excited and said, "Let's do this!"
"Only one match. After all, everyone was here," Shishio said.
"Losing to anj*ng! Let's do this!" Nana says and pulls Shishio straight into the fighting game machine in the arcade.
"..." - ".Drawn, Shishio looks at Nana and wonders if this girl will lick her once she becomes anj*ng.
"Alright, let's do it here." Nana then sat on the bench as she rolled up her sleeves, facing the gaming machine in front of her.
"Good." Shishio also did the same and rolled up his sleeves, but then he was patted.
"Shishio's."
Shishio turned around and looked at Shiina.
"What's up, Mashiro?" She looked at Shiina, who suddenly said something outrageous, but then she nodded and agreed to her request.
Nana who is ready to play, is very excited because she wants Shishio to act like anj*ng, acting tame while licking her cheeks and neck?
Well, he's not sure, but he'll pat her like anj*ng later, so while she's in his imagination, the game is about to start, and he's getting ready, too.
"Little!!!" Nana is full of passion, giving various combos to Shishio's character.
Mea and Maiko who were behind Nana nodded and considered Nana as strong as ever.
They have been with Nana for a long time, and they know that there is no one better than her, which is why they do not think that Shishio will win, but...
*bom!*
"What the fuck?! He put that super move into one frame and followed it up with a combo?! His reflexes are more than ordinary humans?! And on top of that, fatal! Give me a break!!! " Nana was stunned when she saw her character could not even do anything to Shishio's character.
"....." Nana, Mea, and Maiko.
Nana then stood up and became annoyed.
"Shishio, I'm a girl! You must give up!" But then, he was stunned when he saw the person sitting on the bench was not Shishio.
"..." - ".Shishio, Saki, Ritsu, Usa, and Miu were dumbfounded, staring at Shiina, who was sitting on the bench and winning against Nana in "Perfect KO."
"...Is that you, Mashiro-chan?" Nana asked with a trembling voice.
"Un." Shiina nodded slowly.
Shishio looked at Shiina and had to admit that this girl was a genius because she could remember many things and learn many things easily as long as she wanted to.
"Nana, let me play against him," Mea said without hesitation.
"No, let me, I'll avenge you, Nana!" maiko.
Mea and Maiko were somehow unable to accept when they thought that Nana would lose against Shiina easily and thought of avenging her, but they did not know Shiina's strength, either, so they had no idea how frightening Shiina was.
"..." - ".Nana looked at her two friends and knew that the two of them would instantly lose against Shiina, so she disagreed with their request.
However, their friendship moved him.
He knew that he promised to play one game with Shishio, but this time, he lost against Shiina, who was a novice who had never entered the arcade to win against him, yang was a veteran, and somehow he couldn't accept it. It was for a while.
He took a deep breath and said, "Saki-senpai, change with me! Revenge for me!"
"Eh?" Saki dumbfounded.
Shishio shook his head and then looked around.
He looked at Miu, who was walking towards the stork game with curiosity.
He looked at the others who were still busy with fighting games and decided to walk towards Miu.
After all, there are a lot of games in the arcade. He still wants to try everything, right?
Miu walked around the arcade curiously because, in fact, this was her first time being here, even though she had heard of an arcade she had never been to, after all, with his personality and circle of friends, most of them had it. had never been to the arcade.
As a curious girl, she wanted to see what kind of game was inside this arcade, but the cute dolls in the crane game pulled her in.
"What's up, Senpai?"
"Yah, Shishio-kun!" Miu was a little surprised, but then she saw a cute doll inside the stork game.
"Shishio-kun, there are so many cute stuffed animals here" he said, looking at cute stuffed animals, especially rabbits.
"Well, there are a lot of gifts today," Shishio said as he looked at the stork game and saw that it was mostly dolls, snacks, toy figurines, and unique pajamas?
Miu touched the stork game and asked, "Can you really get this, Shishio-kun?"
"Do you want me to get it for you?" Shishio asked.
"Eh?" Miu surprised.
Shishio moved forward and asked, "Which one do you want?" He put the money down and looked at Miu.
Miu blushed and wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"I'll get back to you later." He wondered if Shishio could read his mind.
After all, he felt that he really understood it.
If Shishio knew what this girl was thinking, then he could only say that Miu's mind was too simple, which was why she understood it.
"It's okay, you don't have to think too much, and rather than that, what kind of stuffed animal do you want, Senpai? If you're not in a hurry, the time will be over" Shishio asked.
"Eh? Is there a time limit?!" Miu was startled then quickly said, "Then the rabbit!"
When the doll fell into the hole, she picked it up and gave it to Miu.
"Here we go."
"T - Thank you!" Miu blushed, lowered her head timidly, then received the large rabbit doll from Shishio, hugged her tightly, hiding her face, as she could not face it at the moment, she said, but she was very happy that she received her first gift from him.
"Should I buy it for your sister too, Senpai?" Shishio asked.
"Eh?" Miu surprised.
"By the way, since we're here, after all, I can get one of them easily," Shishio said.
"Ka - Then, can you get me that porcupine? By the way, this is the money," Miu said quickly and took out the money because she could not allow herself to be treated by Shishio anymore.
Shishio won't be stubborn, so he accepts Miu's money and catches the hedgehog doll.
He took it from the machine and gave it to Miu again.
"Here we go."
"Thank you, Shishio-kun!" Miu said with a sweet smile.
Shishio wanted to say something, but...
"Yuk!"
Shishio and Miu turned their heads and saw Shiina, Nana, Ritsu, Saki, Mea, Maiko, and even Usa were there, watching them in silence.
Miu blushed and became embarrassed when everyone looked at her, so she hid behind Shishio unconsciously.
"...." - ".Shishio looked at their expressions and asked, "Should I catch them for you?"
"Yes!" The girls quickly became happy, but Nana and Saki glanced at each other and nodded.
"Mashiro, which doll do you want?" Shishio asked.
Shiina looked at Miu for a moment, then said, "Cat."
"Then?" Shishio puts in the money, then catches the cat doll easily.
"Here we go."
Shiina received a big cat doll from Shishio and immediately hugged her.
He looked at her with a smile and said, "Thank you."
"It's okay." Shishio patted Shiina on the head, then looked at Maiko, Mea, Nana, Saki, and Ritsu.
"So, who's next?"
"Me! Me!" Maiko and Mea said simultaneously.
"Senpai, let me catch them for you!" Usa said when she saw Ritsu seemed to be interested in the puppet in the stork game.
"I don't want to." Ritsu was surprised when Usa suddenly said those words, but then she shook her head.
"I'm not interested in this kind of thing." But then his eyes looked at Miu with envy, and somehow he started to regret saying those words.
He knew that this way, he would not get any more stuffed animals, which somehow made him sad.
"...." - ".Usa.
"You don't want that stuffed animal, Senpai?" Shishio asked strangely.
"Ah, um..." Ritsu nodded, and he felt very sorry, then glared at Usa, who was the cause of everything.
"....." Usa
Shishio gives an eagle and a fox to Mea and Maiko, respectively.
"Shishio, can you buy me for my sister too?" ask Mea.
"Sure, tell me which one do you want?" Shishio asked.
"That one!" Mea said as she pointed her finger at the deer puppet.
"Good." Shishio caught the doll easily and gave it to Mea.
"Here we go."
"Thank you" Mea said with a smile.
Shishio looked at Nana and Saki and asked, "What about you, Nana, Saki?"
"I - I don't want to," Saki said, but after she said those words, she started to regret it because, actually, she wanted it.
"If you don't want to, you can give it to your sister, right? Doesn't your sister like this kind of thing?" Shishio asked.
"We - Well, that's right!" Saki nodded with a red face, then said, "this is for my sister, don't get me wrong, okay?"
"All right, all right, which one do you want?" Shishio asked with a smile.
Saki looked at Shishio, pouting, then said, "Then the wolves and sharks." Although both beasts were ferocious, when they were made into stuffed beasts, they were extremely cute.
"Yes yes." Shishio nodded, then caught the wolf and shark for Saki.
"Here we go."
Saki, who received the two dolls from Shishio, was unwilling to embrace her because it was so soft.
He also could not help but smile, but then he realized that everyone was staring at him.
"......"
"This is for my sister!" Saki said and raised her voice a little.
"Yes yes." Everyone nodded with a smile and thought that this girl was very cute, right?
"...." - ".Saki then glared at Shishio.
Shishio just smiled then looked at Nana.
"Nana, what about you?"
"I want Shishio (lion)!" nana said with a smile.
"....."
"You mean the lion, right?" Shishio asked, but the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Un, I want Shishio (lion)!" Nana smiled mischievously at Shishio.
Shishio looked at Nana amusedly, then picked up a lion doll for her.
As for the girls, they looked at Nana, and somehow their expressions were quite strange back then.
"Here we go." Shishio gave the lion doll to Nana.
"Thank you!" Nana said with a sweet smile.
"Coughs! Cough! How about we keep playing now?" maiko.
"Oh!!!" Everyone nodded and tried the other games in the arcade, but only one person was unhappy.
Usa looked at Ritsu and felt a little helpless at that moment, but then as a young boy, she wanted to try out some of the games in this arcade because it had been a long time since she had come to play.
Ritsu looked at everyone who was walking to try out the various gaming machines in this arcade and sighed, but he suddenly felt something above his head.
"Huh?"
He looked up and saw the owl puppet, which left him dumbfounded.
"It's not fair if you don't have it either, is it?" Shishio said and gave the owl doll to Ritsu.
"If you don't like it, I can get another one, Senpai."
"...No, no, this one is fine, thank you, Oga-kun," said Ritsu, and she did not realize at this moment that she was smiling at the moment.
Looking at the owl puppet in his hand, he also could not help but hug it as everyone had done with their puppets before.
Shishio was slightly stunned when he saw Ritsu, who showed such a reaction.
He then looked at Usa who seemed to be engrossed in playing the game, and could only shake his head.
"Senpai, you should smile more. This way, you're prettier."
"A--?!" Ritsu's face was stunned before a red hue slowly covered her face and neck.
"Shishio, come! Let's play this!"
"Yes yes." Shishio looked at Nana speechlessly, then looked at Ritu. "Let's go, Senpai."
"Un." Looking at her back, Ritsu somehow wanted to reach her, especially when she saw her smiling with Nana, Saki, and Shiina, and here she was just standing there, looking at them from afar.
He then could not help but remember Mayumi's words earlier.
'...so if you don't move, you better retire quickly than feel heartbroken.' Ritsu.
"Senpai, let's go over there and play!" Usa said with a smile.
Ritsu looked at Usa for a bit and nodded, then walked towards Shishio.
As for Usa, she smiled and thought that it was nice that she could play with Ritsu together, but then she saw the owl doll in her hand and felt strange, wondering if he got it himself before?
