Explosions? - 10

And so, I ended up playing various types of games.

 

 

 

Being dragged around to play games wasn't so bad.

 

 

 

More than anything, I was glad to see many games that were very similar to ones I'd seen in Korea.

 

 

 

"How was it?"

 

 

 

"It was fun..."

 

 

 

"Right? It's fun, isn't it?"

 

 

 

After having fun, it was time to go home.

 

 

 

"Oh, right! I have a question!"

 

 

 

Momoi suddenly asked me something.

 

 

 

"What's your name?"

 

 

 

"Oh, yeah, we haven't asked for your name yet."

 

 

 

"It's Nito."

 

 

 

The Saiba sisters finally asked for my name.

But it's fine.

 

 

 

I forgot too.

 

 

 

"I see... Then, Nito! Let's do just one last thing before you go!"

 

 

 

"What is it...?"

 

 

 

"Claw machine!"

 

 

 

Claw machine... Not bad.

 

 

 

So, we went around looking for dolls worth winning.

There was a machine filled with Momofriends dolls.

 

 

 

Seeing Peroro in person was definitely bizarre.

 

 

 

After walking around, I finally found a doll I liked.

 

 

 

It was a white cat doll.

 

 

 

"Are we doing this one?"

 

 

 

"Yeah."

 

 

 

I put the money I was holding into the machine.

 

 

 

I'll definitely... definitely get it.

 

 

 

I carefully moved the claw with utmost precision.

 

 

 

Now!

 

 

 

Clack-!

 

 

 

I pressed the button.

 

 

 

"Oh!"

 

 

 

"Wow..."

 

 

 

The cat doll's head was perfectly caught by the descending claw.

 

 

 

This is it.

 

 

 

As the claw lifted the doll and moved toward the chute,

 

 

 

Thud-

 

 

 

"Oops."

 

 

 

"Wow! It was so close!"

 

 

 

No way!

It didn't work?

 

 

 

The cat doll didn't last long and fell pathetically.

 

 

 

"Ugh... One more time."

 

 

 

I put more money into the machine.

And...

 

 

 

Thud-

 

 

 

"One more time."

 

 

 

Thud-

 

 

 

"One more time."

 

 

 

Thud-

 

 

 

One more time.

 

 

 

And so, an eternity passed...

 

 

 

"Gulp..."

 

 

 

Clunk-!

 

 

 

"Got it!!!"

 

 

 

"Wow!!"

 

 

 

"Whew...!"

 

 

 

Through sheer determination and capital, I succeeded in winning the doll.

 

 

 

I held the won cat doll in my hand.

 

 

 

But,

 

 

 

"...?"

 

 

 

The cat felt heavy and hard.

 

 

 

"D-did it die?"

 

 

 

"Sis, dolls aren't supposed to be alive."

 

 

 

No, this is probably...

 

 

 

Zip-

 

 

 

Thud-

Rattle-

 

 

 

"Oh..."

 

 

 

"Uh..."

 

 

 

The twins were speechless.

 

 

 

When I opened the zipper on the cat's back, what fell out was... an eraser.

 

 

 

"Ha, haha, hahahahaha!"

 

 

 

"Nito's gone crazy!"

 

 

 

Click-

I took out some random ammo from my bag and loaded it.

Luckily, it fit perfectly.

 

 

 

Bang-!

Tatatang-!

Tadang-!

 

 

 

"Waaah!"

 

 

 

"Run away!"

 

 

 

"You bastards!! How dare you pull this kind of scam!!!!"

 

 

 

I went crazy firing my gun.

As I almost emptied a magazine,

 

 

 

Tap-

Tap-

 

 

 

"Hey."

 

 

 

Huh?

 

 

 

I turned around.

A hooded person handed me something.

 

 

 

"This, you might need it."

 

 

 

What the mysterious person handed me was a grenade.

 

 

 

"I don't know who you are, but thank you."

 

 

 

I pulled the pin as soon as I received the grenade.

For some reason, my phone was ringing like crazy, but I didn't care.

 

 

 

And the indispensable line.

 

 

 

"Art is an explosion!!!!"

 

 

 

Ping-

 

 

 

Boom!!

 

 

 

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

 

 

 

Whoosh-

 

 

 

A bicycle speeding through Millennium.

 

 

 

The hooded owner of the bicycle sped along effortlessly, as if familiar with the road.

 

 

 

Ring-ring-!

Ring-ring-!

 

 

 

Click-

 

 

 

-Uhehe~ Shiroko-chan~ What are you doing now~?

 

 

 

"Ah, Hoshino-senpai. I'm riding right now."

 

 

 

-I see~ You hard-working girl~ Then where are you riding right now~?

 

 

 

"Millennium."

 

 

 

-Uhehe~ You went all the way there? You didn't do anything weird, did you~?

 

 

 

"Hmm..."

 

 

 

She seemed to be pondering.

 

 

 

-Why aren't you answering? Could it be...

 

 

 

"I just gave something necessary to someone who seemed to need it."

 

 

 

-I see... Anyway, it's time to start preparing for the entrance ceremony~.

 

 

 

"Yeah, I got it."

 

 

Click-!

 

And so, it became another story when news broke that Millennium's game center was bombed by a mysterious terrorist.
