"It looks good just like that." Tsukasa Aoki watched Dome change into three or four sets of clothes that were almost identical, and scratched his head with some sore brains.

In his opinion, these white dresses are at most a little different in pattern, but probably not the same, and I don't know why the dome girl has not made up her mind for a long time.

Dome puffed out slightly and stared at Tsukasa Aoki, "Oh." ”

After saying that, Dome picked up the headband and sat down on the bed slowly and tied up his ponytail. Tsukasa Aoki leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms and smiled with his eyes: "How is it, do you have confidence in the game for a while?" ”

"It's fine." Qiong just replied lightly: "I've been practicing for a few days recently." ”

Dome itself doesn't like to play arcade games very much, but she promised Tsukasa Aoki to participate in offline competitions, and the most recent competition is only the Arcade Overlord competition, so she has to practice hard. Fortunately, the qualifying points on the net were still there, and he barely made it to the championship.

However, this old version of the arcade game is indeed not difficult to say, and it is enough to memorize the combo and practice hard. In the past few days, the dome has been fighting for seven or eight hours a day, and he has almost memorized the combo, and he is also familiar with the other characters.

In Qiong's view, even if you can't win the first place, you won't lose too badly.

Aoki nodded with a sigh: "Dome's game talent is really good. ”

"Yes......" Dome just nodded silently, although she didn't quite agree in her heart - was she really talented?

No, she doesn't think so. Unlike the 'blank' siblings he met in other games, compared to the extremely talented players like 'Blank', Dome feels that he is a hard worker.

Maybe she has some talent, but it depends more on the strength of time piled up.

However, she had long been accustomed to others attributing these things to her talent, so she didn't say much.

"Let's go." Dome packed up his peripherals and stuffed them into Tsukasa Aoki.

Tsukasa Aoki looked at the arcade stick in front of him, and while putting it in the backpack he already had at home, he asked a little curiously, "How much does this thing cost?" ”

"Given by the game." Dome still looked expressionless, carrying the small bag that Aoki Tsukasa had bought for her before, holding a black rabbit doll, staring at Aoki Tsukasa.

Aoki Tsukasa consciously turned around and began to lead the way, praising as he walked: "The dome is really amazing, you can play any game, and you can win prizes." ”

"It's just more idle......" Dome just followed closely behind Aoki Tsukasa, and the silver double ponytail made waves with the movements softly, looking from the front of Aoki Tsukasa, it looked like there were two more small tails behind Aoki Tsukasa.

Aoki Tsukasa put on his hat and black mask, and walked out of the room, the sky was extremely clear, and the white clouds were slowly fluttering in the sky, and the dazzling eyes made people can't help but squint their eyes.

"Didi." A taxi drove up on the side of the road, and Tsukasa Aoki hurriedly stretched out his hand, briefly exchanged views with the driver, and headed straight for the shopping street.

I happened to go to the shopping street to participate in the competition today, and Aoki Tsukasa also planned to dispose of the natto they stored in the five more Ruri by the way, so if it didn't work, I would put them in the adoption center first - the three puppies were all vaccinated, and it shouldn't be difficult to be adopted.

Aoki Tsukasa wanted to adopt them, but at the moment, the body of the dome would not be better for a while, and he was afraid of them outside, so he had to make a choice for them.

The taxi soon arrived at the shopping street, and the bustling crowd made the dome visibly frightened, and his already thin body shrunk more like a poor little animal.

Tsukasa Aoki paid, got out of the car, rubbed her head, and stretched out his hand: "Do you know the place?" ”

Dome lowered his head and grabbed his fingers: "Well, in the small theater." ”

"Little Theater ......" Aoki Tsukasa thought for a while, as if he had seen it near the movie theater, so he led her and walked slowly, talking to her as he walked: "The mock exam papers should be sent out next week, I'll go to the teacher to ask for an original question, and come back and see if you can do it." ”

"No need....... Dome pursed his lips and lowered his gaze, "I'll do it." ”

"If you know how to do it, you have to test it, the second year of high school seems to be divided according to your grades, and when you are better, I will take you to school together, and we can still be classmates." Aoki Si hooked the corners of his mouth: "When the time comes, with me, you don't have to be afraid of your classmates bullying you." ”

“....... Well. The answer came from the middle of the dome, and Aoki looked down, and the pretty little face in the silver hair seemed to have a hint of redness, and I don't know if she was nervous or expectant.

Holding her cold little hand, Aoki quickly found the location of the small theater.

At this time, instead of an opera or a promotional poster for any performance, a large banner depicting the game's characters was placed at the entrance of the theater, "Arcade Overlord 3rd Yachiyo City Championship".

Aoki Tsukasa looked surprised, he thought it was a small game, but at this glance, it seemed to be quite big.

The hand that was being held by the dome tightened slightly, and Aoki Tsukasa looked down, and the thin body of the dome seemed to tremble faintly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Tsukasa Aoki said softly, and Dome took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

What I can do, what I can do.

Dome was just cheering for herself repeatedly, but when she really raised her head and heard the faint sound behind the door of the small theater, she couldn't help but tremble a little.

"Face, mask." Firmament's voice trembled a little.

Aoki hurriedly rummaged through the backpack containing the peripherals, found a mask that was just enough to cover half of his face, and handed it to the dome.

Dome wore it on her little face, the black mask covering the upper part of her cheeks, which contrasted strongly with her snow-white skin and long silver hair, making her look more like a delicate porcelain doll.

"The rules of this competition are pretty good, so that everyone wears masks to hide their identities and uses code names to participate in the competition, which is good." Tsukasa Aoki stared at the poster of the competition at the entrance of the small theater and exclaimed.

Dome nodded, his voice a little muffled: "Let's go in." ”

"Hmm." Tsukasa Aoki tightened her hand and pushed open the door to the theater.

Inside the door were already a long queue of spectators, who were communicating noisily, waiting for the game to start entering.

Dome grabbed Aoki's hand, and Aoki hurriedly leaned over to listen: "What's wrong?" ”

"From, go in from the left." Her whispered words almost made Aoki unable to listen.

Looking to the left, there is a passage for players.

Tsukasa Aoki pulled her towards the entrance, but the staff hurriedly stopped: "Hello, please tell me about your entry ID and the invitation letter on your phone." ”

Dome pulled out her phone and opened a saved image with her ID 'eirdo' written on it.

"Oh, please come in." The staff got out of the way, but saw that Aoki Tsukasa had a hesitant expression: "This ......."

"My sister is more scared of life, I want to accompany her in, and I'll go to the audience when the game starts, okay?" Aoki took off his mask and smiled at the staff, originally intending to show him a convenience, but when the staff saw him, he grinned, and he stammered in fright: "No, no problem, please, please come in!" ”

Tsukasa Aoki put on a mask speechlessly: "Okay, thank you." ”

"No, you're welcome." The staff was stiff like a piece of wood.

The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he snickered silently.

Aoki Tsukasa snorted embarrassedly: "I don't know why they are like this." ”

As a result, as soon as I lowered my head, I just saw the white eyes of the dome, as if to say: Don't you have a B number in your heart?

Well...... Tsukasa Aoki closed his mouth very bent, and led her through the dark aisle and directly into the backstage of the theater.

At this time, there are already many players in the background.

Uh, wait.......

Aoki's eyes crossed a group of strange costumes, looked at the weirdos who looked like cosplay, and saw an acquaintance directly.

“UMR？”

"Bald?"

The two looked at each other, and the corners of Aokiji's mouth twitched: "My name is Aokiji." ”

"Hug, I'm sorry." Tsuchima, who accidentally said what was in his heart, waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly bowed and apologized: "Are you here to participate in the competition?" ”

Speaking of this, Tsuchima raised his head, and his eyes under the black mask were full of excitement: I went home and practiced for so long, this time, I don't believe you can still prevent it!

Aoki Tsukasa smiled bitterly and let go of the hand holding the dome and said to her, "No, it's my sister who came, and I don't know how to play games." ”

"You ......" Tsuchima only thought that Aoki Tsukasa was perfunctory to her, and her little face darkened: "Why don't you participate." ”

"I said, I won't ......" Aoki Tsukasa didn't finish his words, and he saw that Doma interrupted him: "Don't say you can't play, do you believe this kind of thing yourself?" ”

Well, I do.

Aoki Tsukasa was speechless for a while, and finally just explained: "I just have a quick reaction." ”

"Hmph." Seeing that Aoki Tsukasa was still like this, he only felt that he was looking down on himself, and said with a cold face: "I won't lose casually this time." ”

"Uh, come on." Aoki Tsukasa smiled, took off his backpack, and handed it to the dome: "How is it, it's not so panicked, right?" ”

Dome took the backpack, lowered his head, and didn't reply.

"Then I'll go out to the audience and wait for you first?" Tsukasa Aoki placed his hand on her little head, and a faint warmth made him move his fingers slightly.

Qiong tilted his head to avoid his hand, as if he didn't want to be touched by him in front of so many people, but then he couldn't help but say with a little trembling: "Don't." ”

"What then?" Aoki Tsukasa frowned helplessly.

She lowered her head, timidly stretched out her hand, and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Wait, wait." ”

Her glutinous voice was still a little crying.

Aoki squatted down with some distress and stared into her eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

“...... Well. The firmament's pink lips trembled a little, and the big watery eyes under the mask were helplessly covered with a layer of mist.

Is it so serious?

Aoki Tsukasa sighed, originally he still felt that Qiong's psychological problems had been much better. But now it seems that it was only established when she was with herself.

Tsuchima looked at the appearance of Aoki Tsukasa and Dome, but for some reason, she was still angry, but she suddenly lost her anger: "Little sister, don't be afraid, this is just a party between gamers, nothing to be nervous about." ”

Dome raised his head and glanced at her, although his tone was still a little trembling, but his words were firm: "I, I'm seventeen years old. ”

Uh, haven't you arrived yet? Tsukasa Aoki blinked.

"Uh..... Oh, sorry. Tsuchima, who was only sixteen years old, smiled awkwardly: It turns out that this guy is a year older than me.....

looks very young.

Dome was silent and didn't speak, just clutched the corner of Aoki's clothes.

Aoki Tsukasa watched the dome talk to death again, and hurriedly laughed: "UMR people are still good, Dome can talk to her more." ”

Tsuchima glanced at Tsukasa Aoki, and only felt that this person was really talking nonsense for his sister.

But probably because he also has such an older brother, he still calmed down and patiently approached the dome again: "What role do you like to play?" ”
