Explosions? - 10
And so, I ended up playing various types of games.
Â
Â
Â
Being dragged around to play games wasn't so bad.
Â
Â
Â
More than anything, I was glad to see many games that were very similar to ones I'd seen in Korea.
Â
Â
Â
"How was it?"
Â
Â
Â
"It was fun..."
Â
Â
Â
"Right? It's fun, isn't it?"
Â
Â
Â
After having fun, it was time to go home.
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, right! I have a question!"
Â
Â
Â
Momoi suddenly asked me something.
Â
Â
Â
"What's your name?"
Â
Â
Â
"Oh, yeah, we haven't asked for your name yet."
Â
Â
Â
"It's Nito."
Â
Â
Â
The Saiba sisters finally asked for my name.
But it's fine.
Â
Â
Â
I forgot too.
Â
Â
Â
"I see... Then, Nito! Let's do just one last thing before you go!"
Â
Â
Â
"What is it...?"
Â
Â
Â
"Claw machine!"
Â
Â
Â
Claw machine... Not bad.
Â
Â
Â
So, we went around looking for dolls worth winning.
There was a machine filled with Momofriends dolls.
Â
Â
Â
Seeing Peroro in person was definitely bizarre.
Â
Â
Â
After walking around, I finally found a doll I liked.
Â
Â
Â
It was a white cat doll.
Â
Â
Â
"Are we doing this one?"
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah."
Â
Â
Â
I put the money I was holding into the machine.
Â
Â
Â
I'll definitely... definitely get it.
Â
Â
Â
I carefully moved the claw with utmost precision.
Â
Â
Â
Now!
Â
Â
Â
Clack-!
Â
Â
Â
I pressed the button.
Â
Â
Â
"Oh!"
Â
Â
Â
"Wow..."
Â
Â
Â
The cat doll's head was perfectly caught by the descending claw.
Â
Â
Â
This is it.
Â
Â
Â
As the claw lifted the doll and moved toward the chute,
Â
Â
Â
Thud-
Â
Â
Â
"Oops."
Â
Â
Â
"Wow! It was so close!"
Â
Â
Â
No way!
It didn't work?
Â
Â
Â
The cat doll didn't last long and fell pathetically.
Â
Â
Â
"Ugh... One more time."
Â
Â
Â
I put more money into the machine.
And...
Â
Â
Â
Thud-
Â
Â
Â
"One more time."
Â
Â
Â
Thud-
Â
Â
Â
"One more time."
Â
Â
Â
Thud-
Â
Â
Â
One more time.
Â
Â
Â
And so, an eternity passed...
Â
Â
Â
"Gulp..."
Â
Â
Â
Clunk-!
Â
Â
Â
"Got it!!!"
Â
Â
Â
"Wow!!"
Â
Â
Â
"Whew...!"
Â
Â
Â
Through sheer determination and capital, I succeeded in winning the doll.
Â
Â
Â
I held the won cat doll in my hand.
Â
Â
Â
But,
Â
Â
Â
"...?"
Â
Â
Â
The cat felt heavy and hard.
Â
Â
Â
"D-did it die?"
Â
Â
Â
"Sis, dolls aren't supposed to be alive."
Â
Â
Â
No, this is probably...
Â
Â
Â
Zip-
Â
Â
Â
Thud-
Rattle-
Â
Â
Â
"Oh..."
Â
Â
Â
"Uh..."
Â
Â
Â
The twins were speechless.
Â
Â
Â
When I opened the zipper on the cat's back, what fell out was... an eraser.
Â
Â
Â
"Ha, haha, hahahahaha!"
Â
Â
Â
"Nito's gone crazy!"
Â
Â
Â
Click-
I took out some random ammo from my bag and loaded it.
Luckily, it fit perfectly.
Â
Â
Â
Bang-!
Tatatang-!
Tadang-!
Â
Â
Â
"Waaah!"
Â
Â
Â
"Run away!"
Â
Â
Â
"You bastards!! How dare you pull this kind of scam!!!!"
Â
Â
Â
I went crazy firing my gun.
As I almost emptied a magazine,
Â
Â
Â
Tap-
Tap-
Â
Â
Â
"Hey."
Â
Â
Â
Huh?
Â
Â
Â
I turned around.
A hooded person handed me something.
Â
Â
Â
"This, you might need it."
Â
Â
Â
What the mysterious person handed me was a grenade.
Â
Â
Â
"I don't know who you are, but thank you."
Â
Â
Â
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.
Â
Â
Â
And the indispensable line.
Â
Â
Â
"Art is an explosion!!!!"
Â
Â
Â
Ping-
Â
Â
Â
Boom!!
Â
Â
Â
ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡ã…¡
Â
Â
Â
Whoosh-
Â
Â
Â
A bicycle speeding through Millennium.
Â
Â
Â
The hooded owner of the bicycle sped along effortlessly, as if familiar with the road.
Â
Â
Â
Ring-ring-!
Ring-ring-!
Â
Â
Â
Click-
Â
Â
Â
-Uhehe~ Shiroko-chan~ What are you doing now~?
Â
Â
Â
"Ah, Hoshino-senpai. I'm riding right now."
Â
Â
Â
-I see~ You hard-working girl~ Then where are you riding right now~?
Â
Â
Â
"Millennium."
Â
Â
Â
-Uhehe~ You went all the way there? You didn't do anything weird, did you~?
Â
Â
Â
"Hmm..."
Â
Â
Â
She seemed to be pondering.
Â
Â
Â
-Why aren't you answering? Could it be...
Â
Â
Â
"I just gave something necessary to someone who seemed to need it."
Â
Â
Â
-I see... Anyway, it's time to start preparing for the entrance ceremony~.
Â
Â
Â
"Yeah, I got it."
Â
Â
Click-!
Â
And so, it became another story when news broke that Millennium's game center was bombed by a mysterious terrorist.
