023 It's the end of the world
Seeing that the blonde man with his back to him was cheap and behaved, Mochizuki Ayano clenched her little fists angrily.
Careless......
However, it is she who is to blame.
Originally, there was a card next to the claw machine, and inserting it into a specific position next to the rocker means that the machine has been used, just leave it temporarily.
But she felt that it only took a minute to change the change, so she didn't put the card, who knew that someone happened to "pick it up".
When she was about to wait for the man to leave and clinch another one, she only heard the man say, "Eh, is this the blue-haired maid in "Life in the Ghost World from Zero", or is it a removable version of the April limited maid outfit?" There's one left in the machine, why don't you take it away and take it home and take it off one by one......
Seeing the man's action of reaching for a coin, Mochizuki Ayano fell into despair.
The scenery in the claw machine is basically updated every once in a while, and the most popular "limited edition" figures are often "limited to a limited time" to provide grabbing, and after grabbing, they will never be reproduced.
In second-hand figurines and shops, there are limited-edition scenery figurines that can be sold at a higher price than genuine figurines.
And the figure in that machine is only the last box.
"Hmph, this limited edition figure is full of materials, and the mechanical claws are quite weak, this guy shouldn't be so easy to catch. It's Miss Ben, who has been practicing in the game hall for many years, and it took a lot of effort to ...... before."
Just when Mochizuki Ayano cursed the other party for not being able to catch it, another burst of joyful music sounded.
"Ahra, are you so lucky today?"
The blond man was already bending down to pick up the box under the machine.
"How is that possible? Only four times to clip it out? Wrap the clip? Mochizuki Ayano looked at the other in disbelief.
Watching the limited edition of the blue-haired maid of her beloved "Life in a Ghost World from Zero" getting farther and farther away from her.
She knows that some things, once they pass by, they will become the end of the world, and the meeting is indefinite.
Perhaps, there will never be a chance to feel the joy of taking off the maid costume for her in person.
So, she decided to take decisive action.
"Ahem, that, excuse me...... Do you sell this figure? ”
Walking behind the man, Mochizuki Ayano took the initiative to speak.
Hearing the voice, the other party turned his head.
He first looked left and right in confusion, and then lowered his head to find Mochizuki Ayano.
This obvious move, coupled with the other party's expression of "the original speaker is here", made her very unhappy.
This man looks quite heroic, but the flowing golden airplane head, and the habitually frowning brow, reveal an aura that makes people stay away.
Mochizuki Ayano suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.
"Sousuke Araki!" After reacting, she subconsciously gritted her teeth and called out the other party's name.
……
Being called out by a strange girl in the game hall is the first time for Sousuke Araki.
He looked strangely at the petite girl in front of him.
Beneath the blond fluffy curls is a cute round face with fleshy flesh, wearing a pale yellow dress that is slightly more mature than her face.
The most striking thing is her big eyes that seem to be able to speak, with a pair of pupils of different colors.
Foreigner? Hybrid?
At this moment, the girl was looking at herself angrily for some reason, like a kitten protecting food.
"That...... Little sister, do you know me? ”
Sosuke Araki asked in a coaxing tone with the most kind expression.
My family knows about my family, and if the other party is scared to cry here, I should be arrested immediately and taken to the police station for tea.
"Little ...... Younger sister......? ”
Mochizuki Ayano repeated the other party's words in a low voice, and her lips trembled a little.
The other party not only grabbed the figure she liked, but also ignored the height and age she cared about the most, which made her extremely unhappy.
Wait a minute...... I just said, it seems, that something was missing.
Just when she was about to reprimand the other party, she suddenly reacted.
Just now, she actually shouted the other party's name in front of the "former monitored target".
Careless.
A drop of cold sweat slipped down her forehead.
Her brain immediately sprang into high speed, and Sosuke Araki's information slipped like water in her mind.
"Sword ...... Kendo Tournament ...... Right! I've seen your kendo matches. ”
Mochizuki Ayano stammered what she thought was the most reasonable answer.
Well done, Ayano Mochizuki.
"Do the recent elementary school students watch that kind of game? Or was it pulled by my brother to watch it together or something? ”
Sosuke Araki's soulless polite words once again smashed Mochizuki Ayano's psychological defense.
"Who is an elementary school student, when Miss Ben finishes her graduate degree and goes to work, you should still be fooling around in college!"
Mochizuki Ayano immediately retorted unconvinced.
"Uh-huh...... It's amazing...... Children can't use adults' money to play in this kind of place, but the bottomless pit......" Sousuke Araki nodded again and again, touched the other person's head kindly, and turned around to walk towards the other machines.
Then, the corners of his clothes were tightly pulled.
"You...... Figure ...... Sell me...... Seven thousand yen ......" Mochizuki Ayano was already so angry that she could only say these words intermittently.
7,000 yen is a relatively high price.
Obviously just a fifth-rate college student, a habitual offender who illegally throws garbage, and a gangster, what kind of goldfish guy is here.
"Hmph, little girl, you're thinking too simply. The game hall is a battlefield for adults......"
Sosuke Araki smiled evilly, pointed to the crane clamping machines around him, and continued in a fanatical tone: "These scenes that are constantly updated and missed are not there, and they are a reward for true warriors. If it is exchanged for money, it is tantamount to trading your soul and dignity to a demon! It's also an insult to the people who think hard day and night about designing these prizes! ”
With that, Sosuke Araki ignored her and turned around and began to operate on another claw machine.
"Ah, there's such a powerful design?"
Sousuke Araki was aiming at a box of extremely intricately designed figures.
This is a female character named Empress in the anime "Demon Slayer", with a strong body.
This figure comes alive in sexy shorts and shorts.
The most special thing is that just by pouring hot water, this shorts will turn a transparent color, revealing an even more explosive bikini inside.
"This pervert...... Hmph, see how I clean you up......"
Mochizuki Ayano, who has calmed down, has an idea in her heart.
She stood aside with a sneer, looking at Sosuke Araki, who was holding the doll, as calm as a lion peeking at his prey in the grass.
Sosuke Araki's technique of holding the doll was extremely skilled, and it didn't take long for him to push the box containing the figure into the right place, and it only took one last blow to push the box down.
Just as he started the last operation, he didn't notice that the blue left eye of the "elementary school student" standing on the sidelines suddenly turned golden.
[Hundred Eyes Pupil Technique] is activated.
The box, which was supposed to be clamped, suddenly shook like this and fell back.
"Huh? Is this machine so cunning? ”
Sousuke Araki reached into his trouser pocket and touched it, but it was empty.
He had no change.
Mochizuki Ayano on the side secretly applauded.
"Hmph, when this guy goes to change the change, take his figure away, and let him feel the pain of being robbed of love by a knife."
Just when she thought that the other party was going to leave to change the change, Sosuke Araki suddenly turned his head and asked suspiciously.
"Do you want to wait for my brother to change the change and take this away?"
