Chapter 1 It's Not Fair!
In July, the Northern Hemisphere enters its hottest season. As in previous years, universities, primary and secondary schools across the country have begun to have holidays. But unlike in previous years, there are fewer children who go up the mountain to catch fish and run around the city, but there are more children who lower their heads and press the rectangular machine.
"yes, I won!" said a child cheering, holding a Tetris machine.
The child who sat on the same bench as him pouted and said very unhappily, "Where did you win? You are obviously lucky! When you almost failed, suddenly a bunch of good squares came, otherwise why would you score higher than me?"
"Slightly!~" The child who won stuck out his tongue and mocked, "Don't talk about this, if I win, I won! My Tetris machine is a lucky opportunity! But Takahashi personally sent it to me! Look! There is also Takahashi's signature on it!"
"Hmph!" the kid who had lost because of bad luck turned his head and walked away.
The machine that won that kid was indeed Takahashi's own.
A little more than a month ago, the "Tetris National Tour Final" that shocked the whole country just ended at the Tokyo National Stadium.
Several contestants who participated in the competition not only appeared on the variety show "Takahashi's Party", but also became celebrities who attracted national attention.
The little one who just won, although not shortlisted. However, he picked up the phone as soon as possible and ordered the "Tetris" handheld recommended by his idol, Takahashi.
The telesales staff of 10,000 households on the opposite side asked his parents and then asked for his address.
After almost a week of long waiting. He didn't even go out of the house, and after the agony of rushing to the door to open the door every time the doorbell rang, he finally received a package from 10,000 households.
And, it turned out that his wait was worth it, very worthwhile! Because the person who delivered the goods to him was actually the idol of almost all elementary school students, Takahashi!
Although Takahashi himself did not participate in any Tetris competitions, many children believed that he should be the final champion.
The little boy who can always see Takahashi on TV is no stranger to Takahashi. I am even more excited that Takahashi can deliver the goods for himself, and that he will deliver the Tetris handheld to his own hands!
The two men took pictures under the camera, and he also asked Takahashi to sign his name on the machine. Although it was only a marker pen's signature, he kept it with a heart, begging his father, who worked in Okamoto, to make a silicone soft case for the Tetris handheld.
And Takahashi's signature seems to have unparalleled magic. He plays "Tetris" handheld every day, and other children can play for a month with two Sony batteries, but in his case, Sony's batteries can only play for a week.
You know, Sony's battery technology is the best in the world! Even in Tamiya's four-wheel drive competition, the only designated battery is Sony's battery!
I don't know if it's because it's been hard work, or if the name is really magical. His technique progressed rapidly, and he soon went from being at a level of influx to the point where he could fight the "master".
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are competitions.
Although children are not allowed to go to the arcade hall by adults at home now, and although it is unreliable to let unfamiliar children go to their own home red and white machine duels, the handheld competition with "Tetris" has become a new trend this summer!
Every street has a master of each street, with the super popularity of Tetris. Not only children, but even office workers who have to do the subway every day, boring bosses who watch shops, and even construction workers on construction sites, everyone has a Tetris machine.
No one knows who is the master among these people. Hidden in the world, among the peddlers' pawns, shop owners, and children with snot bubbles, there are peerless masters hidden.
Because of the "lucky handheld" signed by Takahashi, the little boy embarked on the road of challenging others after honing his skills diligently.
Just like the "Endless Fantasy" launched by Wanhu, find the masters in every block, whether bright or dark, challenge them, and get rewards!
Sometimes it could be a bunch of bananas, it could be a slice of large watermelon, sometimes it could be a coin, a drink.
Willing to gamble and lose, everyone abides by the rules that are made in private.
The winner takes all!
The little boy with the "lucky handheld" has gradually become famous. The title has also changed from "fledgling" to "small achievement".
Today, he is aiming for 10th place in the entire Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area Elementary School and below. If a real-world person has a name on his head, his name will probably be green, indicating the level of the elite.
"Hey, you haven't given me the loot yet!" cried out the little boy after the "loser" as he broke through the shadows left by the wall into the sunlight, his arms waving the blazing wind. Hot sweat dripped from his sideburns and chin.
"What are you doing!?" the other little boy cried out angrily as he grabbed his arm.
"You lost, booty!" said the little boy with a sense of confidence.
"You're not really winning! you're just lucky!" argued another young boy.
"Luck is also part of strength, if you don't accept it, you can go to Takahashi to sign it! But signing is a matter of the future, you lose now, give me the loot!"
"Okay......" Although the other little boy didn't want to admit that he had lost, but it was true that his score was lower than that of the little boy, he sighed reluctantly, and handed the long-cherished tenth place medal to the little boy.
"Someday I'll win it back!" he said.
"I hope there will be a day! I'll go first! Come on!" the little boy turned into a hot wind and ran away again.
In the distance, the cheers of the little boy's small group could be heard.
The other little boy walked home with his head down in frustration, and the cool breeze from the electric fan "whirring" didn't seem to bring him coolness.
Think about the medal you worked so hard to get, and someone took it away. His hands were trembling slightly.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the sadder he became.
"Do you want to ask Takahashi for an autograph? Then you will win? No! Takahashi said, don't rely on others, your own efforts are king! You lose because it's unfair! It's because the squares in the game are different, if only the squares on both sides were the same like in a regular game......
When he saw the pen on the table, his eyes lit up, and he was going to write a letter to Takahashi!
