Episode 158 – Date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boom.
Entering the arcade, we were greeted by all sorts of crazy noises.
From the chatter of people, to the squealing screams of a horror game box in the corner, to the gunshots of a zombie shooter game.
Among them, the first thing Dina reacted to was a gun game where two female students were playing against aliens.
Boom! Beep Beep Beep Beep!
It was spectacle that Dina’s ears perked up whenever she heard the sound of a laser gun.
So, it means cute.
“… Do you want to try that?”
“… ! Is that okay?”
“I came here to play….”
Did you mean to go just to watch?
Looking at the reaction, it seemed like he really meant to do that, so it wasn’t without his mind that it was a bit absurd, but anyway, it seems that Dina’s mood has improved, so maybe it doesn’t matter.
Taking Dina, who was stamping her feet as if she wanted to do it quickly, they approached her alien fighting game machine and lined up.
But, what the hell is this all about?
“… Hey! Didn’t I tell you not to team kill?”
“Isn’t that just something I can’t reach?”
Somehow, I was told that their back looks familiar, but they were both students in Class S.
I thought that I was grumbling all the time and that Irene was one-sidedly clinging to me, but in reality the two seemed to be on good terms.
“Aagh!”
Ifel Sar, who was game over first, tilted his head back and breathed fire from his mouth.
Still, it seemed that there was some common sense that game consoles should not be destroyed.
Irene giggled when she saw that, then she single-handedly grabbed her boss and threw it away.
It was a control that seemed like a godsend, but after she caught the boss alone, I laughed out loud while watching Iren’s character holding all the sh*t.
“Annoying! Why so… huh?”
Ifel Sar saw Iren like that, he threw a tantrum and met her eyes.
“What are you doing? Why are you here-“
While saying that, she looked at Dina, who was slightly attached to me as if she was wary of something.
And then squinting her eyes would make her snort.
“Huh…. Is that so?”
What?
“Oh! Cool it! Dina is there too!”
Iren also recognized us and greeted us cheerfully.
“By the way, didn’t you go somewhere alone to train?”
Why are you doing this here?
Irren is right on my question, right. She nodded as she did, then she looked at Ifelsar.
“But… I came back earlier in case our Ir would be lonely by himself!”
“What? Do you think I would be lonely without you alone?”
“But….”
Then, Iren suddenly made an expression of pity.
“Er, you don’t have any friends besides me… ?”
“What is that… !”
Ifel Sar, who tried to deny it, bit her mouth shut.
Come to think of it, it’s because there really wasn’t.
I watched the two of them arguing with a smile and was slightly shocked.
“I wasn’t even a friend… !”
From Noble mtl dot com
On that day, I thought we became friends after giving her tons of food at the canteen… !
Actually, back then I was afraid of Ifelsar, so I thought he wasn’t my friend, but that’s not the case now.
It is the true nature of human beings to change words comfortably from time to time.
Ifel Sar shook her head at my words.
“Of course not.”
“Why?”
“Yeah… You are my mate.”
“… Yes?”
Before I knew it, Dina’s hand, which was holding my arm, became stronger.
I looked to her side and saw Dina looking up at me with a look asking if that was real.
Won’t you look at me with such cold eyes? It’s still a bit scary when you look at it with those eyes.
I want to ask you first.
What the hell are you talking about, Ifelsar?
But before I could ask, Iren asked Ifelsar with a shocked expression.
“Irr didn’t like me?!”
“What? Why do I like you?”
“Ugh….”
Irene’s shoulders droop.
“It’s always like that… And I was the only one who was sincere.”
“The reason I came to the academy in the first place was to find a strong man and raise the strongest child… Are you upset?”
“Okay….”
She stumbles out of the arcade with a depressed Irene hanging her head.
Why is Iren like that in Ifelsar? She looked at her haggard face and scratched the back of her head in her temper.
“Ai… hey! Wait! Are you sorry?”
“That is the attitude of a sorry person… ? It’s always like that!”
Iren summons her wind spirit and runs away at high speed, and Ifel Sar chases after him with even more rage.
All that was left in front of the game console was a disastrous misunderstanding that I, Dina, and Ifelsar threw away.
Dina was still looking at me with cold, salty eyes. How could such strength come from that slender arm? Her arm felt like it would fall off.
However, I wasn’t in the mood to ask for a weak hold, so I had no choice but to pretend that nothing was wrong.
“… Must be wrong.”
“Huh….”
Why? Did I become capable of mind reading without my knowledge?
Is that really the case with that nasal sound? It seemed like I heard the back saying.
So before Dina could say anything, she stressed.
“Really misunderstood.”
“… I’ll trust you. Only this time.”
Judging from the strong emphasis on the word “Only this time,” I thought that my life might be in danger if this happened one more time.
Next time, even if I don’t want to say anything that might cause misunderstanding, I’ll have to tell Ifelsar.
Irren just happened to notice (though I don’t think it was meant to be) and she moved away with Ifel Sar, so now all she had to do was enjoy the game.
Sitting down in a chair next to Dina, she pulled out a crumpled bill that had been folded in her purse for months.
I was wondering if I had to exchange money because I didn’t have coins, but surprisingly, this game machine had a bill slot.
The game was a side-scrolling game, and the simple content was that two players control each character to get a gun and defeat the aliens invading Earth.
Simple… I would have….
“Yap… yap yap!”
Boom Boom.
Every time I shoot, her mouth makes a yap-yap sound and she twists her body around to avoid the attack, and Dina’s shoulder hits me once in a while.
I couldn’t concentrate.
Originally, I was good at games, and I was confident because my reaction speed improved as I awakened….
Since I couldn’t concentrate, I repeatedly died regardless of my game skills.
In the end, I saw Dina playing the game alone, exhausting all her lives faster than Dina.
Because Dina wasn’t used to her controls, she ended up leaving her final boss behind and the game over.
“Whoa! It was fun!”
But I also thought that it was fortunate that they seemed satisfied rather than disassembled.
‘No. Is it fortunate?’
What should I do if I am satisfied with this and do not intend to come to the arcade again?
Then you have one less place to go on your next date.
‘Is it too much kimchi soup in the yard where I might be able to go on a date with Dina again?’
To be honest, I think the two of us will play again someday, but don’t they say that the bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment?
Just when I was about to get a little depressed, when I looked at Dina, those worries disappeared as if they were washed away.
“Siwoo! I’ll go for that next time!”
There were countless types of games in the arcade, and Dina seemed to be thinking of trying them all.
“Yes. OK.”
Since then, she has enjoyed a variety of games with Dina, from gun games in which she shoots and kills zombies, to games similar to table tennis, and fighting games.
Earlier, I also played a horror game where her students screamed. Contrary to the expectation that Dina would come screaming at her, I was a little embarrassed and ashamed that I screamed at her and hugged her.
“Don’t worry, Siwoo. I’ll protect you… !”
… Dina is great… !
I fell in love once more.
“Sorry… I wanted to try everything.”
However, Dina’s wish could not come true.
She hadn’t even played half of the games in the arcade, but it was already late.
There is a curfew at the dormitory, so it’s good not to be too late, and the arcade isn’t open 24 hours.
“Come back next time.”
“… ! Is it so!”
Dina smiled brightly as if she was satisfied with that.
She was about to leave the arcade holding Dina’s hand, but she stopped and pointed at her.
“Siwoo. Would you like to take that one out for the last time?”
“Huh?”
What she pointed to was none other than a doll-making machine.
My heart was pounding at the appearance of a doll-picking machine that appeared like a cliché in a love comedy novel.
“But the banknotes have already been spent….”
“I have a little left over.”
Dinah, with her sweet smile, pulled some bills from her wallet.
“… Little?”
“…… A little too much.”
However, it wasn’t just a bill, it was more like a check rather than a bill.
“… Would you like to exchange that?”
“Will you do it? I don’t know.”
“Let’s take it to the counter first.”
I don’t think the refund machine will refund the check.
“Welcome… huh? Siwoo?”
The part-time worker at the arcade, seeing us approaching, greeted us brightly, widening her eyes.
“Scarlett? Do you work part-time here?”
“Um… Why?”
“Doesn’t cracking earn more?”
“Because it’s only for today as a substitute for a friend….”
“Aha.”
Scarlett has a good friend.
Suddenly, thinking about who I have friends, I became depressed.
There is no normal person.
