Station— Games

...~ Hiro Sato ~...
“Hehe ...,” muttered me with a small laugh.
“Why is your expression so strange?” The girl's voice sounded like the moans of children holding back cries.
“Come with me!” I shouted with running.
“Hei, run again— tu–wait!”
Although Yuna continued to protest, but I could hear the flaming footsteps of her sneakers chasing me.
⠀
After boarding the elevator that took us to the fifth floor of the mall, Yuna fell face down in a heartbreaking condition.
“I'm out of power, huft, huft ...” Although Yuna was breathing out and looked exhausted, not a single sweat was etched into her face. If the winds were also alive in my body, this would make me happy forever.
“Do not,” I said while pulling his hand to stand. “But we have arrived, really. Here comes the place.” My view points to a game station that stretches from where our elevators ride to the end of the mall.
“It turns out we're here, toh.” Yuna glared. I guess now his sense of awe went back up one wave, after everything he had seen on the previous few floors.
It is a place full of seven-color light alloys that twinkle as far as the eye can see. The sounds of war or gunfire, and the loud music also rang out and filled the eardrum. I saw some people from among the young who entered and came out alternately, and in it there are dozens of children of various ages who occupy several game machines according to what games they want to play. Yes, actually I don't like things like this at all, but I just want to realize Yuna's goal that was delayed a long time ago.
“That time you wanted to go to a place like this, didn't you?”
“Iya, anyway, but ...” Yuna's expression showed doubt. “You don't like this place, so don't bother to bring me here.”
I intend to reply to Yuna's words first. “Hmm .. but it looks like, once or twice is not a problem.” It was her remark when I gave her a box of ice cream, but it turned out that it was not something the girl liked.
Yuna leaned on me. “So you really want to play, huh, Hiro?” ask her with a grin.
I immediately swallowed my saliva. “Yes, as I said.”
The girl pulled my hand tight—“Let's come in!” So excited, without hesitation he dragged me into the game station.
We haven't even bought a ticket, and we haven't been deliberating on who will spend on these short-term entertainment expenses.

Apparently, it was Yunalah who intended to treat me to play in this game ring. However, I insisted on rejecting it and immediately gave most of my money to the waiter in charge of handling ticket purchases at the queue counter that was not too crowded. It seems that at the moment he is also not too concerned about it, and now I have also been taken by him to a strange game vehicle.
My finger reflexively pointed at the game machine that was emitting familiar musical sounds in my ears. “What is this?” When viewed from the title, it says Dance Dance Revolution with irregular writing fonts, but it seems to be modern style for today's youth.
Yuna immediately pushed me, and now I stand on the stage of the game. “Eh, wait—“ Below me are seen some arrow symbols in the irregular hexagon space, and each of them flickers randomly.
Nothing else was heard other than Yuna's laughter that was getting wider, united with the rhythmic music that seemed to dominate the entire game station.
“Lalu ..?” Because of this, my curiosity rose again.
“As you can see, the name of this game is Dance Dance Revolution, and usually this is liked by people who love music.”
“Yes, I like it, anyway. If you are free usually I like to listen to it,” I said while looking up to the screen panel standing in front of me. There is the insert Your Coin posted clearly, such as giving a clear warning.
“Well, and what you see below are the arrows you have to play. Not to forget too, Hiro must choose the desired song before playing.”
“How to play it?” askaku.
Suddenly Yuna furrowed her forehead while saying, “Trodden.” The frown on his face seemed to say if I was included in the steps of the arrows that he would play in front of him.
“Alright I understand, but there is still one thing I want to ask.”
“What?”
“After done with this what we will get?”
“Bonneka.”
My heart suddenly beats. If I manage to finish the game, it would be tantamount to giving her a birthday present straight away with my efforts. All right, I won't lose! my spirit is so good in my heart. There must be no failure in this mission.
“Now we will play it in multiplayer.” Yuna started to insert her coins. Not long ago there was a loud noise from inside the machine, as if like an intro when the main stage was about to take place.
"That means we're going to play this together?" ask me to make sure.
"True, like that."
Because I understand some of the mechanics of the game, then it feels like there is nothing more I have to ask. “OK, so we will start now, yes?”
“Yes, look at the arrows that will pop up in the monitor panel, adjust to your footrest for each step of the arrow that is on, okay?” clearly with spirit.
“I understand.” I confidently focused on the monitor. From here I can see a score that shows a zero, and it seems that if it gets more and more, then this will be better.
The sounds of Ready, Set, Go and the visualisation of the text on the monitor appear simultaneously. That's why I'm getting ready soon.
“Eh?” I muttered after seeing Yuna open the hood of her jacket. His hands held on to the black pole behind his back. Is that really necessary? I asked in my heart, because Yuna did not tell me that at all.
The moment before I looked back at the monitor, my gaze that was unintentionally directed at Yuna was immediately wide-eyed after seeing what the girl was doing.
“Huh?” my shock.
Nimbly Yuna stepped on one arrow after another that lit up consecutively, like following the direction of the arrows that appeared one by one in front of a colored monitor screen.
“Great once ...” Now I was trying to follow him; I was back focused on the part I had to play. I can't lose to him, even though the word beginner is clearly the right title for a young man who doesn't like games like me.
The arrows with various directions that appeared on the monitor turned out to make my head dizzy. They seemed to be on a merciless streak and filled the memory of my brain quickly. However, it was significantly different to Yuna; the girl seemed to have gotten used to things like this. Even the music that resounded beautifully seemed to get him excited about completing this round. I could also feel the echoes of a beautiful tone echoing in my hearing, but after all, it was very difficult to match Yuna's footsteps.
