EP.15

After the school day was over, I left the school with Nayoung as if I had been waiting.

"Where are you going?"

Since I was heading in the opposite direction to the direction home, I was honestly asking a question.

"play."

"What are you going to play?!"

Nayoung was upset because no one told her what she was going to do when the school day was over.

However, when he heard that we were going to play together, his eyes sparkled and he got excited as if it had never happened before.

"You'll find out when you get there."

"Hi-Hi!"

Even if they didn't tell me anymore, it didn't seem like anything was wrong.

"Game Center...!"

The place she was brought to was none other than a game center.

Compared to PC rooms, the play time is short and it costs a lot of money, but what I had left was time and money.

"Wow!"

Nayoung looked around with bright eyes.

"Basketball! I'm good at basketball!"

Then I found a basketball game and quickly approached it.

"This! This! Jihoon. Let's try this!"

He urged me to hurry up and try it, as if he was planning to use everything he learned about basketball today.

"Okay, okay."

It is much lower and closer than the basketball hoop installed in the gym, so even Nayoung would be able to score it more easily than you might think.

I changed the bills into coins and put them one by one into the game machine.

The game started with a loud noise.

Since I wasn't trying to beat Nayoung, I just grabbed the ball and threw it haphazardly.

At first, I made a few mistakes, but soon I got used to it and started to throw within a few feet.

On the contrary.

"It! Ik! Ugh! Ah!"

I tried to throw the ball with all my might with cute spirit, but nothing went into it, putting the basketball lesson I learned so hard in physical education class today to shame.

[YOU LOSE!]

"Hmph..."

All available time has passed.

The basketball game Nayoung was playing did not allow her to advance to the next stage because she could not put the ball into the goal as many times as she wanted.

[YOU WIN!]

I moved on to the next stage and got one more chance.

so.

"Do you want to try mine?"

I was about to hand it over to Nayoung, who was very depressed.

"Ugh... it's not fun..."

Immediately fed up, she shook her head and refused.

"Then let's do something else."

"huh..."

The next stage begins and time continues to pass, but Nayoung is the only person I care about.

There was no reason to keep doing this because she said it wasn't fun, so I had to find a new game that she would enjoy.

"Is there something you want to do?"

"hmm.....!"

I looked around with a bright smile like a fish in water, not knowing when I had lost my nerve.

She was already pretty and exuded cuteness, so most of the people who had been glancing at Nayoung without playing the game she was asked to do, were either trying to ignore her, or were just not aware of it, so she kept walking even as the gazes gathered around her gathered around her.

"Jihoon! This!"

The game I chose this time was speed hockey.

"wait for a sec."

After choosing a seat and inserting a coin, a breeze blew out as if I had been waiting.

"Hehe!"

With his eyes shining brightly, he put his hand to the hole where the air was blowing out and moaned as if he felt a strange sensation.

After feeling the texture to my satisfaction, I belatedly grabbed the lever and only then did the explanation begin.

"This is a ball and a puck, and all you have to do is hit it with the lever and put it in the opponent's goal. Do you understand?"

"huh!"

"Then try it first."

"okay!"

Nayoung, who received the ball, said 8! and hit the ball with cute spirit.

The ball bounced quickly and came toward me, but it couldn't even get close to the goal and ended up hovering around.

"Here. Take it."

Originally, I would aim to score points by hitting the wall so quickly that it would be difficult to react, but as I said before, I wasn't doing it with the goal of winning.

"Hmph..."

It was definitely like that, but I won again.

"Jihoon is so good..."

He pouted his lips and opened his mouth as if he were angry.

"Haha. It's because I've done it a lot, but it's because it's Nayoung's first time. If she just does a little, she'll be able to beat me, right?"

"Ugh."

No matter how much I could win later, I couldn't cheer up if I lost the game right now.

As a result, Nayoung rapidly lost the strength and confidence she had before.

Still, whenever I encountered a new game, I played it again and again with a brighter face.

I was depressed right after the game ended because I lost overwhelmingly and because I wasn't satisfied with the play.

"Wow!"

Nayoung and I were watching a man stamping his feet vigorously on a pump.

"It's so fast!"

Stamping my feet non-stop while the music of Beethoven Virus played was not something I had tried once or twice.

Stagnant water is clear.

Not only I, but Nayoung and the people around me couldn't help but be amazed as their eyes were taken.

"When the arrow gets close, I just have to step on it, right?"

"That's okay, but you have to step on it when the fast-rising arrows match exactly."

"It's going to be difficult…!"

"It's difficult."

It may be okay if your hands move precisely, but if you suddenly use your feet, which you used only for walking, to play games, it would be difficult.

First of all, you won't be able to move as you want, and if you haven't steadily built up your stamina, you will not be able to hold out for long due to extreme stamina consumption, and more than anything, your calves will hurt.

Therefore, the game Pump itself is bound to be difficult for the general public.

"Whew."

The man who came down after clearing with a perfect score threw back his sweat-soaked hair.

A faint smile appeared on his lips as he heard the cheers and applause that were satisfactory.

"Jihoon! Me too! I want to try it too!"

He climbed onto the pump with an expectant expression on his face and urged me to try it as soon as possible.

"okay okay."

The onlookers, who had just turned their eyes wide at the spectacular and amazing pumping skills of the deceased, were smiling at Nayoung's appearance.

Even more so, upon hearing the news that an incredibly pretty and cute girl was pumping, there were more onlookers than when the stagnant water was pumping.

After all, no matter how good you were at the game, you could get more attention if you had a pretty and handsome face.

This is why female and male cams are flooding in on internet broadcasting platforms that will soon be actively commercialized.

"It's our first time, so let's start with the easy ones."

"huh!"

I usually exercise a lot, so it won't be too much of a problem, but just in case, I chose a fairly easy level of difficulty.

Since this is my first time, it is bound to be difficult.

I thought so.

"Are you better than I thought?"

Even though it was an easy difficulty level, Nayoung continued to perform perfectly even though it seemed difficult.

At first, people who were simply captivated by Nayoung's appearance couldn't bear to turn their attention to Nayoung, who was doing better than expected.

"end!"

Nayoung, who stepped on the last pump, looked at me with a refreshed face.

"How are you? How are you? I'm really good at it?!"

"Wow... I see. I was surprised that you did so well."

"Heehee! It's fun! Pumping is so fun! Jihoon! Can you try it one more time?!"

"Of course. Of course. But don't your legs hurt?"

"leg?"

Nayoung looked down and checked her fair legs.

With my head tilted at an angle, I raised and lowered my legs and moved them around.

"No problem!"

"Then what?"

I glanced at the onlookers.

As if there was no one waiting to pump the pump, there was no objection when Nayoung said she would do it one more time, so she added an additional coin.

"It was too easy! A little difficult!"

"Difficult? Umm..."

What is difficult?

Even though I just said it was easy, there were some difficult parts at times.

So, this means that even songs of average difficulty can be easy or difficult.

"that!"

While scrolling down. Nayoung shouted.

"this?"

"huh!"

The song she chose was a song I liked even before my regression.

It was a new song released this time and was often sung at karaoke.

"I heard it's difficult? Are you going to be okay?"

"I want to try it!"

There's no need to stop me from doing it if I want to.

I chose a song and came down from the pump.

The accompaniment started playing, and soon there were so many arrows on the monitor that it was difficult to keep up with it with both eyes.

Nayoung, who was the first to stick her tongue out, somehow managed to keep up, but soon, she couldn't hold on and fell down.

"Ugh… he's dead."

In the end, Nayoung died.

Still, the onlookers clapped for a good job.

"...!"

Nayoung, who only then noticed the large crowd of onlookers, blushed bright red and fell into my arms.

"Are you done?"

"Uh, uhm..."

He still seemed unaccustomed to having multiple eyes focused on him at once.

"Then shall we go do something else?"

"huh..."

When I moved with Nayoung, the crowds decreased significantly.

There are still a few people who are captivated by her beauty, but it's not a big problem.

"Is there anything else you want to do?"

"This time, I want to do what Jihoon wants to do."

"I?"

"Yes. So far, I've only done what I wanted to do."

"Okay. Then."

I took Nayoung with me to play the game I wanted to play. To be more precise, I started playing the games I wanted to play one by one when I made a girlfriend.

From gun games, 2-player cooperative games, etc. And the last one is a punch game.

This is simply to show off my power.

"Eurassha!"

I stretched out my fist with all my might.

phut! And the score went up quickly with a loud sound.

"Eight hundred! It's so high!"

"Well, a fairy too."

This is a fairly high score for someone my age.

"Nayoung, do you want to try it too?"

"me too?"

"Because your wrist is not bent, you can hold it slightly and hit it."

"okay!"

Nayoung copied the posture I had just made and punched her.

"700 isn't bad."

"Hmph. Jihoon's is 800."

"It can't be helped because there are differences between men and women. Still, it is very high for a woman."

"okay?"

"of course."

"he!"

When I slightly lifted it up, it was smiling brightly as if it was going to fly away.

After Punch Machine, we played some more games, and when the sun was almost gone, we went out.

"Shall we go in after eating?"

"meat?"

"Meat...? Um... okay. Let's eat meat."

I had a reservation at a separate restaurant, but it seemed like he wanted to eat more meat, so I decided to just go there to eat the meat.

"meat!"

A word from the author (author review)

I didn't make a reservation.
