Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 221
"Grand Slam!!" The loudspeaker on the side of the slot machine uttered an exaggerated shout that was actually attractive, and the image of the scantily clad oiran danced a striptease above the machine, "[-] points!!"

On the LCD screen on the front of the slot machine, the rapidly changing fonts have stopped.From left to right are 【Big】【Phase】【Push】, which is a very good combination after 【Big】【Gold】【Star】.When a large number of tokens were spit out by the machine, they collided with each other, making a pleasant crisp sound.Rina waved her fist excitedly: "Yeah~!"

"You bastard, you're a high school girl, but you're here to play with the Ghost Gambling Machine." Shigure Rei said with squinted eyes.

"It's not gambling if you make a steady profit~" Rina smiled and swept the tokens into the box, "Besides, we don't use 'technique', it's all about eyesight~~"

The large number of tokens that Rina won made the young people onlookers make jealous comments, and the crowded arcade hall became more chaotic.This is Token Paradise in the handbag district, the largest arcade hall in the country known as the arcade museum.A female high school student who had been shopping in the business district for half a day chose this place as her destination for this afternoon after lunch.Along with her, besides Kira and Sakura Mai, there are Shigure and Caldesia who met halfway.

Now Kira is challenging the dance machine joint record with Caldesia, Shigure Reichi and Sakura Mai are chatting in the rest area.After counting the number of tokens, Rina held up a token to Shigure Rei.

"Would you like to try it, Miss Shigure?" Rina narrowed her eyes, "Just like us, you don't need 'technique'."

"Oh, I'm really underestimated." Shi Yuling grabbed the token and stuffed it into the slot of the slot machine. "Show me, little country girl, let me tell you what the difference in strength is!"

·
15 minute later.

The rapidly spinning words and patterns stopped one by one, from left to right were Little Seal, Little Jinpan and [Pull].The electronic oiran above the machine let out a cry of regret, and Shigure Rei raised his hand angrily.

"Give me another one!"

"No~Here~" Rina raised the box above her head, "Admit it, you're just giving money if you don't rely on skills to play this. If you have money to waste, you might as well practice karate."

"Laughing, what kind of fighting do I practice as a majestic World Creator?" Shigure Zero said disdainfully, "What use is karate to me?"

"One more project with a sense of superiority in front of Xiao Ce?"

"..." The huntress fell silent strangely.

"Hey, are you serious?!"

"You can say very reasonable things occasionally, little girl."

After this person created the world, he really lived and returned.

This inexplicable persistence is comparable to that of the uncle, and it is worthy of being a Brahma-phase creation world.

"Speaking like a little girl all day will make you look old." Rina shrank her head to avoid Shigurei's iron claws, "Speaking of which, where are you going from now on?"

"After thinking about it, it's better to go to Hezhong first. The Empire will go with Gongsun Ce when I have time. What about you?"

"Let's go back to our hometown and go to school and work."

Shigure zero frowned at her.

"Are you really willing to stay in that small place? The straight gods are no longer in this world, so what is the need for you witches and goddesses to continue working?"

"The general Hidden Gods are still here. Besides, although the Underworld Shrine is small, it is more comfortable to live in than Ashihara Castle." Rina said leisurely, "People still have to choose the life that suits them best~"

The little witch took out her phone, opened the chat group and looked at the records.A message from a gray-haired man with glasses burst out, and the speed at which the screen swiped surprised her.

[I am in Token Paradise.Is anyone around? 】

【Excuse me, can someone help me? 】

[Help!I don't want to go any further! 】

[Please stop playing and look at the group! 】

【save! 】

...What kind of trouble did Xiao Ce get involved in again?

"Convinced, let's go and see what mess the junior brother has made."

"It must be a woman." Shi Yuling said with great confidence, "He would not come to the group to ask for help if he did something brave."

We think so too.

·
It didn't take too much effort to find the younger brother, after all, the place where he was was always very lively.Rina casually glanced at the place with the most people, and found the conspicuous gray hair.The little witch was not in a hurry to start a conversation, and first mingled with the crowd to observe.

(This is... an offline battle?)

Judging from the joystick held in Gongsun Ce's hand and the buttons he pressed frantically, he was playing the most common fighting game in arcade halls.His opponent should be the girl sitting next to him.

On the game screen, a muscular man with two swords is moving quickly to control the distance between the two parties, while another perverted man in an onmyoji costume is lying motionless by the board as if disconnected.

"I'm going!" Gongsun Ce said very deliberately.The muscular man with two swords drew his sword under his control, and broke out a set of practical combos that were not very entertaining. It started with a rapid dash and ended with a simultaneous slash with two swords.The perverted man let out an exaggerated wail, and emptied the blood bar in the background of KO.

The expressionless girl let go of the lever.

"Okay, lose again."

"Stop, this isn't a duel at all!" Gongsun Ce screamed, "It's an unpleasant behavior even in a fighting game to face an opponent with no resistance! It looks like I'm bullying, but it's Gongsun who is actually being bullied Mister me!!"

The fighting game players onlookers nodded in unison, and the understanding from the stranger made the gray-haired youth feel even more sad.

Qin Qianbai gave a thumbs up: "So it's bad."

"Don't mess with Missy... Seriously, you're going to be angry, but it's better for us to beat him together than to torture me here..."

That's how it was.We totally get it.

Rina squeezed in front of the seat and patted his junior on the shoulder.The expression of Gongsun Ce who turned his head could almost be called tears.

"Senior Sister...!"

"Don't say anything, let's take over for a round. Xiao Ce will help us buy a piece of candy~"

Gongsun Ce ran away like a rabbit, Rina sat in his seat and adjusted the joystick.

(It's similar to the old machine in our hometown...) Thinking of such a thing, she smiled at the female college student on the right.

"Sorry to bother you?"

"No." Qin Qianbai shook his head, "I just want to vent."

"That's good."

Rina drew a spiritual rune and stuck it in his pocket with a charm, so that he didn't have to worry about the conversation being overheard by others.

She turned on the random casting mode, and the computer automatically selected a young female character dressed as a high school student and a summoner boy character wearing a hat.Da da da, the brisk sound of pressing the button sounded, and after accumulating power for a long time, the female high school student killed with a straight punch with suspicious special effects.

"We used to play this often after school~" Rina whistled, "So, it really is because of that elder?"

"Is that how Miss Izumo sees it?"

Miss Izumo.The deliberate sense of distance... I am so defensive to us, a high school student.

"How should I put it, it feels like you have a sense of victory towards him..." Rina swung the joystick, "But I don't feel any malice, both sides are. That sense of victory is not too strong." I must To beat him' point."

"...very sharp."

"Of course, our 'technique' is constructed from this aspect of psychology."

Extending from the desire to win or lose is the motivation to become stronger, which is the basis of the mantra spell.Wanting to be effective at any time, wanting to be able to influence the situation at any time, that is the desire for "strong".It's different from the desire to knock someone down, to get something done.The latter's performance is sharper and more direct, and it will regard "becoming stronger" as a means rather than an end, which can be called becoming stronger for others.

Judging from the performance during the battle, Rina believes that this doll-like young lady, like herself, belongs to the former who regards "strength" as the goal, and wants to become stronger for herself.This kind of her is only thinking about comparing with the peak Ming Ke, no matter how she thinks, it is a bit strange.

However, this matter is not easy to ask.She doesn't know Qin Qianbai very well, so let the younger brother handle such a personal matter.

Da da da, da da da.Another game ended, and the character controlled by Qin Qianbai simply died.The daughter of the Qin family let go of the joystick and asked abruptly.

"Miss Izumo, what do you think about her inheritance of the shrine?"

"That's good." Rina replied relaxedly, "There are people who like big places, and there are people who like small places. There are people who prefer lively life, and there are people who prefer quiet daily life. We are rustic the latter."

Qin Qianbai turned his head and stared at her.

"Is it all out of my own mind?"

How can it be.The opinions of the elders, the expectations of grandma, and the influence of various factors will definitely be there.

Rina put her hands in her pockets, and asked back: "Miss Qin, do you still remember our love expectations?"

"A kind man who can live in a corner."

"That's right, I was deeply shocked by Miss Orianna's girlish heart. After returning to the house, we carefully thought about what is our ideal type..." The little witch said shyly, "But I want to come Thinking about it, I found that the too idealized type would appear to be empty-footed. Only then did I realize that what we are talking about is not only about professional needs, but also my own considerations."

"That's it."

"However, let me make a digression~" Rina gave a smirk, "After the elders confirmed our ambitions, they had to push forward to propose some kind of marriage. This is unforgivable! Let's say bluntly, 'If we mention it again Let’s not inherit the shrine and go to visit the uncle’, they will never dare to say this again.”

"awesome."

The eldest lady nodded, understanding the thoughts of the foreign priestess.

It is not only a personal appeal, but also the expectation of others. It is precisely because the direction of our own body and the outside world fits that we can have such an optimistic attitude.But if the two deviate too much, they will decisively choose to protect their own freedom.Rina achieved a delicate balance between the two, and was able to safely become the successor of the shrine.

She understood why Ah Ce would call this child Senior Sister.In some respects, Izumo Rina is much more mature than their group of college students.

She looked at the handle, thinking.Such a prank-like playfulness actually has no real meaning.

Just like what she said to Ah Ce, the current self is just playing badly.The realm of martial arts will not be broken through by winning or losing the game, and false failures will not become an opportunity to judge the desire to win.

Only when one truly understands the reason for fighting and the way of survival can a warrior's heart become stronger.In this regard, Izumo Rina's outlook on life is an important reference... a reference for "senior".

"Speaking of which, since Ms. Qin is not obsessed with winning or losing..." the little witch started the next game, "Then let's win another game?"

"No." Qin Qianbai held the handle, "It's over. From now on, we're going to get real."

"Is the love battle really serious?" Rina asked abruptly.

"Goo."

While Missy was distracted, Rina took the opportunity to control the character to perform a set of combos.

"Ahaha, let's win another round~!"

When Gongsun Ce came back with the candy, what he saw were two people fighting with all their strength in front of the arcade.The battles on the screen were so exciting that the onlookers were amazed.

"So strong! We lost~" Rina let go of the joystick and leaned back on the seat.

"Amazing, senior sister!" Gongsun Ce handed over a lollipop and praised in a low voice, "How did you do it?"

Rina looked up at him with candy in her mouth, her beautiful ponytail hanging behind the chair, and the upside-down face of the young man was reflected in her bright pupils.

"Want to know?"

"Want to know."

"I won't tell you." Rina bit the candy into pieces, "It's a secret between girls~"

You little fox.

·
After the chaos in the arcade hall, there was a dinner party, and then there was a reception and ktv at night. Everyone, including Shi Yu Lianyi, who was almost drunk, walked on the streets of Weiyuan City with vain steps.

"Ah wow, I can't do it..." Qi Luo said in a daze.

Rina laboriously drags the half-drunk idol. "You...drinking in front of us, a high school student... hiccup!"

"What's the point..." Shi Yuling languidly put his arm on Gongsun Ce's shoulder, "I'm too drunk, carry me back."

"Get off Ah Ce first." The girl firmly grabbed the hunter's arm.

"If you're jealous, just hug him yourself. I won't come down, what?"

"Please don't hit me, Mr. Gongsun, please?" Gongsun Ce screamed, "They drank too much! Lord Shi Yu, save me!"

"It's so windy tonight, Caldesia." "That's to say, I can't hear anything~" The passionate couple on the side ignored their friend's call for help with an annoying tacit understanding.

Amidst the laughter, Rina rubbed her eyes.

"It's too bad." The little witch said, "We drank too much, we saw uncle."

This illusion is quite realistic, and it restores the man's demeanor vividly: tall and tall.The sloppy demeanor, the black coat casually draped behind him, and the annoying smile at the corner of his mouth.The drunk phantom took a few steps forward and reached out to pat her on the head.

"Ah, it hurts!" Rina cried out with her head in her arms, "The hallucination hit me!"

"How much did you drink to be so stupid?" Yan Qi patted his disciple on the head like a gopher, "It's almost time to play, huh?"

He let go of his hand, squeezed his chin and laughed.

"The holiday is over, let me go back to heaven and go to jail!"

With this sudden voice, the trip of the superpowers came to an end amidst the wailing of the college students.
