Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 1 volume 7

The club's activities ended before 18:00.

After cleaning up the game, Saito, Shindo, and I left the first lab.

"...... He's too strong."

Shindo's shoulders slumped. After that, Shindo got involved with the President and played the game at his invitation, but he was still beaten to a pulp.

"It was like a combo-combo-combo, and before I could do anything, my energy meter dropped to zero."

"He's still relentless as always."

I feel sorry for Shindo. When you play with our president, there's no fun game anymore.

We walked out of the school and down the hill. At this moment, the setting sun peered among the buildings, and a strong light pierced us from the front.

"I know that's what's going to happen, so I'll never play with him again. Even if you think you're strong, she'll destroy all of your confidence and show you a difference so great that you'll lose all motivation to get better." WEB."

Saito is one of the victims of the club president. He has always loved the game of baseball and prides himself on being able to make a home run with any throw, but the president's exquisite superiority and defense make it almost impossible to score. In addition, he said he lost motivation in the middle of the game as the president mass-produced home runs at a pace higher than Saito's usual pace.

"The president is at the level of genius. Usually, there are certain types of games that are not suitable for you, but are pretty good the first time you play them. Even though he was the president of the science club, he eliminated too much motivation from others to play the game."

I totally agree. I would also hate a Ma-0-kart.

"It's fun to watch his super gameplay from the side, I think he could become popular if he puts his gameplay videos on a video hosting site."

Saito nodded at my words.

"That's for sure."

Talking about this made me want to play games in an environment without a president. The game is fun as long as you don't have to watch it play too well.

So we decided to go to the center of the game. We walked down the hill and near the station, which was a bit away from the roundabout.

We passed the automatic door of the game center and took the elevator to the second floor.

There you will find a variety of game cabinets. It smells a bit like cigarettes, because smoking is allowed.

"Let's play that one."

Saito points to a touchscreen type music game. One by one, we stood in front of the console.

To be honest, I'm not very good at music. For me, it is easier to play something like a racing game, where you have to build your skills one by one.

I put in 100 yen and started the game.

I chose "Normal" as the difficulty level. For the song, I chose a famous anime song that I know.

Game's starting. There is a touch panel in front of you that is divided into squares like a netting board. Some of them blinked in time with music. When the light is on, you move your finger to press it.

In this kind of game, one must not only follow the light with his eyes, but also must understand the rhythm to some extent. I was so focused on pressing the lights that I gradually lost my rhythm. Then I fucked up during the choir.

I know I'm not cut out for music.

I looked beside me and saw Saito move his finger lightly and get a high score.

"Hm. It's something like this. It's been a long time since I've played voice games, but it's still fun. "

"You're good at this kind of thing."

Saito smiled shyly at my words.

" A little more. For some reason, I've been better than others since I was a kid. "

A high score was displayed, and it was still many times higher than me. Saito included "SNI" in that score.

Is he not ashamed? You can't enter a number, so it's "I".

Then, the current high score rating is displayed.

"Yay, fourth place."

The SNI letters are fourth from the top. I'm really impressed.

"......"

However, soon, Saito's happy expression froze. The feeling of pleasure slowly disappeared from his face.

I was wondering what was going on. While thinking that, I noticed while looking closely at the rankings.

In top rank – current number one position – name "SEN" engraved. That name is very familiar to me.

"......."

Incidentally, the name of the President is Takuya Seno, and he often uses the name of the SEN account in his daily game. I think he used the same name in the arcade as well.

"It ......."

"......I guess we're destined to never win against the President"

Saito had a distant look in his eyes. I'm nodding.

Shindo seemed to see the same thing and opened his mouth lazily.

"Let's go home......."

I really deflated.

when I said that, both of them nodded.

And that's when it happened.

Just as I was about to walk away from the music game closet, my face bumped into something.

"Ouch..."

I immediately heard a voice and knew it was someone. I apologized and stepped aside.

"Oh?"

I had a bad feeling, so I looked up. There's a bunch of high school kids who look like delinquents. They wore purple T-shirts with all the buttons of their school uniforms open. Their hair is painted blonde.

"Hey, what are you thinking about hitting me? You've stained my T-shirt with your dirty face."

I guess he was just joking, he just took advantage of us being so quiet. He looked at his friends behind him and laughed with them. I was annoyed by their loud laughter.

"Let's just go ......."

Saito whispered to me, and I thought I should do that. So I ignored it and tried to leave.

But my shoulder was gripped by a powerful force. The man in front of me put his hand on my shoulder with a grin on his face.

"What, are you trying to escape, Otaku-kun?"

It's going to be complicated, I thought. Sometimes there are bad guys in the arcade. I just have to take it as bad luck today.
