Enter the arcade and exchange five coins.

Find an arcade machine to play against.

He and Nobu Tanaka sat on the left and right sides of the arcade.

Coins, casting, going to war.

"Arcade Fujiwara-kun should have played, right, in his previous career?"

Tanaka didn't rush to manipulate the character's attack, but instead swung his joystick and took a defensive stance and retreated to the far right of the interface.

"Well, I did, but it was in the first year of junior high school."

Fujiwara looked at his character on the screen, turning the joystick and pressing the buttons, making him punch and bounce near his birthplace on the left, to familiarize himself with the operation of the machine that he hadn't touched in more than two years.

When he was in elementary school, he couldn't get along with the group, and no one even took him to the arcade, and it was only when he was in junior high school that he first saw and got started with this fun and simple battle machine under the guidance of a friend.

However, due to his mind or study at that time, these did not have much attraction to him, but he did not touch them again after playing with his classmates for half a semester.

But he still has a memory of related skills.

"Look at my chain sweep!"

Fujiwara quickly rotates his waist bar down to the right for half a circle, and at the same time presses the heavy leg button twice, and a set of chain rotation squat and leg sweeping attacks makes his character move towards the right side of the interface where Tanaka is located.

"That's right, I can even do this trick."

Fujiwara's trick was easily blocked by Tanaka's squat, but he still cast an approving glance at Fujiwara on his left.

"The student who introduced me was an arcade master, and I could do more than that."

Fujiwara once again manipulated the character to jump, and Tanaka, who was crouching downward, unleashed a spiral leg combo.

But Tanaka, who seems to be in a passive state

"This combo is also great, but you have to know that this character of mine is a melee grappling character."

"What?"

Fujiwara didn't expect that the thin male character in a leather suit chosen by Tanaka Nobucho would be a grappling melee fighter similar to a sumo wrestler, so he shouted that it was not good, and hurriedly swung his joystick back to block.

But it was too late, and although he blocked the moment he landed, he was still caught by Tanaka's leather-clad male character who was very close, followed by a burst of combos that could not be blocked and counterattacked.

"Ah, Tanaka-kun is really a powerful class master."

As the last character in the arcade screen is defeated and slow-down, he subconsciously leans back, his hands still regretfully on the joystick area.

In less than two minutes, Fujiwara was defeated, and all three heroes who had been used fairly skillfully were defeated by his first character, the thin leather-clad man.

"It's just that I've been playing for a long time, and I'm more familiar with the nature of the new characters and the combat experience."

Tanaka left the operation area where the joystick and buttons were located, stroked his knees, and looked away from the screen, looking at Fujiwara Suke on the left with a smile on his face.

In this situation where the victory and defeat are completely clear, he is still rare to be normal and modest.

"No, you really know a certain level of arcade machines."

Fujiwarasuke, who has a friend who is an arcade powerhouse, knows in his heart that Tanaka Shin is actually really a little modest.

On the way here, Fujiwara learned about it.

Although Tanaka Shin doesn't play arcade every day all the time, he does it twice a week, so over time, his skills have become the best in this ranks.

It was even better reflected in the battle just now, even when Fujiwara was familiar with the nature of the role of the leather-clad man in the last two games, he was still able to successfully find the weaknesses of Fujiwarasuke's operation, such as the short moment of unblockable jumping and landing, the time of the character's casting stun and other details, and cast them.

"Hey, it's actually only an upper-middle level." , Tanaka scratched his head, "If you want to talk about the real powerhouse in the arcade industry, it depends on those middle school students." ”

"Junior high school students?"

"Hmm."

"Most of them have been in contact with arcade machines since elementary school, and they are so experienced in middle school skills and combos that they can't be more sophisticated, although I'm the same, but I'm older than them, and the reaction speed has also decreased, and the golden time of arcade skills has passed, but they are different, it is the time when the reaction speed is the fastest, plus there is less schoolwork, so I can have more spare time to immerse myself in practicing skills here.

"I see."

Looking at the slightly shorter figures who were fighting tense battles in the arcades around him, Fujiwara nodded somewhat understandingly.

"That's right, that's right, I have an acquaintance with a second-year student from a nearby middle school on Luchang Street, that's the real top arcade powerhouse, and even among the students of the three middle schools in this area, no one can stand out, and is known as the king of arcades on Luchang Street, one of the reasons why I agreed to come here with you is also to take you to see his strength."

Tanaka said, still looking for something.

"Huh."

After scanning the arcade crossroads on both sides, he showed a look of confusion on his face.

"No, these two rows of arcade machines are the latest in style, so there's no reason not to be here."

Tanaka simply stood up from a single plastic stool and walked down the aisle, carefully searching for the arcade machines.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Tanaka's strange appearance, Fujiwara suke also stood up.

"I went there."

While walking to the end of the aisle, Tanaka finally discovers something deeper in the arcade hall.

Fujiwara suke walked over and saw a crowded back in the direction of his line of sight.

"Kula! Eat me a trick! ”

"Damn! Doesn't even that work? ”

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Standing at the back of the crowd of onlookers, you can still hear the male voice constantly coming from the direction of the independent arcade in the middle.

Moreover, since the onlookers are all junior high school students, almost half a head shorter than Fujiwara Suke, he can easily see the scene on the independent battle arcade in the center of the onlookers.

In addition, if it's just a match, there is a slightly larger screen above the arcade that synchronizes the battle situation.

But he still chose to look in the direction of the arcade machine he was interested in.

Those were two backs, one tall and one short.

Although it is one tall and one short, the boy on the left should not be much shorter than the girl on the right, but he arches his back to the screen, closer, and looks very engaged, on the contrary, the back of the pure white sunscreen suit on the right is sitting straight, and the hand holding the rocking handle is just a light wrist, which looks a little light and light.

The reason why she knew she was a girl was that she was wearing a white baseball cap with thin bangs hanging down on both sides of her cheeks, and the shape of her hair tied into balls could be seen through the gap in the strap behind the cap, and her wrists were more slender than the boys around her.

"How could it be, how could this kid be so embarrassed today?"

In contrast to Fujiwara, Tanaka, who is an expert, looked at the big screen showing the battle, and his face was full of surprise.
