Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 146: Teddy Bear and Hotel [7K5]

Before this, Kiriyama and Ma had always firmly believed that as soon as the summer vacation began, Hamabe-senpai's side would inevitably become quiet.

It is very difficult for a person to balance study, work and love relationship and take everything into consideration. To be more blunt, it is impossible.

Not to mention that with the award-winning of "Norwegian Wood", things happening to Watanabe Yu will inevitably increase.

With the two combined, even if Hamabe-senpai can find some free time, her good friend may not be able to find the time.

When each other's free time does not match, the relationship is bound to cool down.

No matter how lively the online chat is, it is far inferior to a simple greeting in person every day.

——These were the exact words his uncle had told him. He thought they made a lot of sense and kept them in mind until now.

To break this deadlock, it is very simple. That is, two people live under the same roof. Because the distance is very close, there will naturally be room for many things to happen.

But considering the reservedness of girls, the possibility of this is very small, not to mention that this girl is Hamabe Ryoko, the principled and self-reliant flower of the mountain.

But no matter what he thought, when the facts were placed in front of him, he could only accept them.

"Watanabe!"

He raised his hand and waved to the two people coming towards him, while secretly glancing at Takakura Maki beside him.

Her expression at this moment was very subtle.

They had just brought up the issue of Yuki Hayakawa. In response to Takakura Maki's concerns, he patted his chest and said that as long as Hayakawa took the initiative, everything would be fine this summer.

Ok……

It's indeed getting better.

The person who got better was Hamabe Ryoko.

"Kiriyama, Takakura!"

Watanabe Yu also raised his hand and waved at the two of them.

Taking advantage of this gap, Hamabe Ryoko quietly let go of Watanabe Yu's hand.

"…Are you guys dating secretly?"

When Watanabe Yu and Hamabe Ryoko stopped and came to the bar, Takakura Maki came to her senses and lowered her voice and asked this question with a gossipy look on her face.

As Yuki's best friend, she had to find out the situation first before deciding whether to tell the latter.

If Watanabe Yu was already dating Hamabe Ryoko, she would tell Yuki without hesitation and persuade her to give up.

"Difference……"

"It would be nice if it was a date." Hamabe Ryoko interrupted Watanabe Yuu's speech, met Takakura Maki's gaze, and sighed naturally, "I asked him to accompany me out for a stroll."

Her action of pulling Watanabe Yu's hand just now was intentional.

What I want is to make Takakura Maki think more and explain it now. In this way, I can stimulate Yuki to a certain extent and make the latter more proactive, and at the same time, I won't let her down.

Of course, in a sense, it also gives the latter confidence.

She knew very well that in Xiao Yuki's eyes, she and she were equal.

Since I can "sneak away" like this, why can't she do it?
"Oh... You scared me. I thought our most popular girl was captured."

Takakura Maki patted her chest lightly, looking relieved.

But her peripheral vision never shifted, always staying on Hamabe Ryoko's face, carefully observing the latter's micro-expressions.

She was skeptical about Hamabe-senpai's explanation.

"I would like to, but someone doesn't give me a chance at all. He's not proactive at all."

Hamabe Ryoko pursed her lips, but her expression was flawless.

She really had to thank the Saint Lady.

During this period of confrontation, she learned a lot from the latter.

"Watanabe is like this, just like the fishmonger in the shopping street, both are very cold and indifferent."

Kiriyama and Ma came to smooth things over at the right time.

Then he turned around, gave the staff an apologetic look, and took out a note and handed it over.

Fortunately, the arcade was not so busy at this time. If it was very busy, the latter would have been impatient a long time ago.

"Exchange for 100 coins."

The exchange rate of this arcade is 100 yen equals 1 game coin.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The staff member took the banknote and after using a machine to verify its authenticity, he took out a paper box with fairly fine workmanship and handed it over. There was '100' written on the box.

"Here are your 100 game coins. If you can't use them all, you can keep them here temporarily, or you can choose to return them for cash."

"OK, thanks."

Kiriyama and Ma took the box, then turned and gave Watanabe Yu a questioning look.

He intended to give half to the latter.

It's just catching a doll. With his level, he can only sprinkle some water on it.

"I will do it myself."

Watanabe Yu shook his head and took out a Yukichi note and handed it over.

"100 game coins, thank you."

"Okay, this is your game coin, please keep it."

The staff took out a small box and handed it to him.

After taking the game coins, the four of them naturally walked together and headed towards the claw machine area.

"By the way, this is what you are doing?"

Watanabe Yu, who had not been able to get a word in before, finally seized the opportunity and looked at Kiriyama Kazuma and Takakura Maki.

"First date since we started dating."

Takakura Maki coughed lightly, her voice was very calm, but her fair face unconsciously turned red.

"!?"

This time, it wasn't just Watanabe Yu who was surprised, Hamabe Ryoko was also surprised.

They were still discussing it a few days ago, and the result came out so quickly.

"So who confessed first?"

Hamabe Ryoko couldn't help but join in the conversation.

"it's me."

Kiriyama and Ma raised their hands honestly.

"strong!"

Hamabe Ryoko's eyes lit up and she gave Kiriyama and Ma a thumbs up.

"..."

But this time, Tongshan Hema did not make any frivolous moves as usual. He just scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

While chatting and laughing, the four of them came to the claw machine.

Kiriyama and Ma didn't think much about it. They naturally took Takakura Maki's hand and went to a claw machine, ready to have a go.

Obviously, they had already decided which claw machine they wanted to play before exchanging their game coins.

"So, which doll do you want?"

After watching Kiriyama Kazuma and Takakura Maki leave, Watanabe Yu turned around and looked at Hamabe Ryoko beside him.

"The one in front of us... No, is that okay?"

Ryoko Hamabe's eyes fell on the claw machine on the side.

There was a hint of complexity in those beautiful eyes.

"Uh, you mean the one with the slogan?"

Watanabe Yu looked in the direction she was looking.

A brand new claw machine stands there.

The white light from the claw machine sprinkled on the teddy bear inside the claw machine.

The bear has a bow tied around its neck and is wearing a red short-sleeved shirt.

Compared with other plush dolls, it is no exaggeration to say that the workmanship is far superior and it is visibly more refined.

It's just...

The slogan posted on the outer edge of the claw machine did indeed discourage many people from playing.

[Difficulty level Max, please use your own discretion]

"Yes."

Hamabe Ryoko pursed her thin lips, and the emotions in her eyes became more and more complicated.

In the gap between their conversation, a couple hurriedly passed by them and then sat in front of the machine.

The boy took out a slightly smaller paper box with 30 written on it, then opened the box. Under the expectant gaze of his girlfriend, he took out the game coins and put them into the coin machine.

To the sound of classic electronic music, the mechanical claw went down and then grabbed nothing steadily.

The girl's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"It's okay, this is only the first time."

The boy threw in the second game coin without thinking, and then operated the mechanical claw more patiently.

Then, he missed again.

"There are still 28 coins left, the chances are great!"

The boy scratched the side of his face and continued to stuff game coins in.

Before coming here, he made a boast to his girlfriend.

He had just tried it out on an ordinary claw machine, which indeed caused the people around him to exclaim in amazement, and even allowed his girlfriend to get the doll she wanted.

There's no reason to fail here.

"You, do you think he can catch it?"

The emotions spreading in Hamabe Ryoko's eyes subsided, she moved closer to Watanabe Yuu and asked in a low voice.

"How much do you think that stuffed bear is worth?"

Watanabe Yu did not answer, but asked a question instead.

"6425 yen."

Hamabe Ryoko answered without thinking.

"..."

Watanabe Yu didn't say anything, but looked at her thoughtfully.

This number is a bit too precise.

"Otherwise, let's forget it."

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head and looked at Watanabe Yuu.

The boy has failed more than ten times. Although he has made progress every time and the hook can touch the teddy bear, every time he tries to grab it, the hook will become weak and the teddy bear will slide to the ground.

If nothing unexpected happens, the boy will not be able to catch the teddy bear.

Although he still had ten or so chances, she just felt this way in her heart.

[Time cannot heal everything as Chicken Soup for the Soul says]

[Some things and some people's departure often stay with us for a lifetime]

[At some unintentional moment, perhaps an open refrigerator, or perhaps an unintentional word, the gloomy sky will start to rain heavily again]

[People think they have forgotten, but in fact they remember it better than anyone else]

[It is because it is so unforgettable that I desperately hypnotize myself to say that I have forgotten it and no longer care about it]

[She has trouble letting go of her father who is addicted to gambling, her discarded discontinued stuffed bear, and her deceased mother]

[The same item carries different emotions for different people]

[People will eventually be trapped by the things they could not get when they were young]

[Perhaps, the reproduced teddy bear has a new beginning just like her life]

[The romance options have been updated, and the main storyline of "I Want All" has been opened]

[Want to help Jasmine retrieve the few beautiful childhood memories after the rain? ]

"No." Watanabe Yu shook his head and said that in a joking tone, "You aroused my competitive spirit."

The remaining ten or so game coins were gone in a flash. The boy stood up and asked his girlfriend to wait for him. Then he hurried to the front desk and exchanged another 30 game coins.

Then he continued to catch.

Once, twice, three times, four times...

30 game coins are gone in a flash.

The boy was not convinced and planned to run again.

But this time, his girlfriend held his hand and said that it was enough, but she still couldn't stop him.

But this time, maybe his funds were not sufficient, so he only exchanged 20 game coins.

And as expected, they all failed.

The boy's face turned red, but his girlfriend didn't say anything. Instead, she comforted him softly.

After much persuasion, the boy finally let it go. Before getting up and leaving, he took a deep look at the claw machine, and then left reluctantly.

After watching the couple leave, many people began to whisper to each other.

"So I told you, good stuffed toys are not that easy to get. The boss is not a fool. He opened the store to make money. If it is that easy to catch, isn't it just giving away money?"

A young man wearing glasses, about eighteen or nineteen, looked at his girlfriend and muttered softly.

"..."

His girlfriend didn't say anything, and her facial expression still showed no joy or anger.

"And everyone has said it, please use your own discretion."

He continued speaking again.

"..."

After listening to her boyfriend's words, the girl frowned, stood up, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not get angry.

"I'm going to the toilet."

She turned and left.

There are many similar whispering sounds. Most of the people who come to the claw machines are young couples, and they can understand each other's feelings.

Who wouldn’t want to show off in front of his girl?

But there are some things that you can't show off just because you want to.

"Let's go."

Watanabe Yu took Hamabe Ryoko's hand, took a step forward, and sat in front of the claw machine.

I have to say that the boss here is quite considerate and even provided us with two chairs.

"Tsk, another fool wants to give money."

The young man wearing glasses looked at Watanabe Yu's back and sneered.

He felt very embarrassed that his girlfriend left him, but since she just said she was going to the bathroom, he couldn't say anything.

His voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in this quiet moment.

"..."

Hamabe Ryoko frowned, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she was about to turn around and scold that person.

She couldn't bear to scold the person, so why should a passerby stand there and complain?

"No, it's okay."

Watanabe Yu grabbed Hamabe Ryoko's hand to stop her, then gently patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to be impulsive.

Then he opened the box containing the game coins.

He took out a game coin and gently put it into the coin slot.

Controlling the hook, after waiting for the hook to move to the top of the teddy bear's head, he pressed the red button, and the hook moved downward and firmly grabbed the teddy bear.

The expression of the young man wearing glasses suddenly became tense.

If he was really caught by Watanabe Yu, he would become a clown.

As expected, the hook slipped off to the accompaniment of electronic music.

call.

The young man with glasses breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, if it were really that easy, wouldn’t the boss have gone bankrupt a long time ago?
81
Watanabe Yu silently counted in his mind.

It is known that the price of this doll is 6425 yen. If the boss buys it in bulk, the price will definitely be lower. If we calculate it based on the cost price of 4500 yen, it should actually be lower.

Based on his experience working in an arcade, the probability of hitting the bottom should be between 85 and 90. When this bottom probability is reached, the hook will no longer slip, which is the so-called "super hook".

Of course, there are techniques, but techniques are always very misleading.

For example, throwing the hook.

But the hooks of the claw machines at that time were basically anti-shake.

The boy in front of him put in 80 game coins. According to the expected probability, he can win it with at most ten coins.

He then put in the second coin.

82
This hook also missed.

83
Fail
84
Fail
"Watanabe, did you catch him?"

Suddenly, the voices of Kiriyama and Ma were heard.

Watanabe Yu subconsciously turned his head and looked at Kiriyama and Ma.

The latter held six or seven dolls in his arms.

Obviously, Kiriyama and Ma had a fruitful harvest this time.

"Not yet. It's still settling."

Watanabe You smiled cheerfully, turned around, and threw the fifth, and also the 5th, coin.

As expected, the hook slipped again.

"The probability of this is not high, let's change it."

Kiriyama and Ma whispered a reminder to Watanabe Yu.

This store that specializes in claw machines is quite honest. The chances of winning with ordinary claw machines are quite high, but the ones with difficulty marked on them usually cost a lot to win.

"It's okay, I'll try it, just move aside."

Yu Watanabe put in the sixth game coin.

The stuffed bear fell aside again.

"So I'm blocking you from performing, right?"

Kiriyama and Ma shook their heads, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and took Takakura Maki's hand and moved away.

"Yes, I am a claw machine expert."

Watanabe Yu said this in a joking tone, and then put in the seventh game coin.

"So stupid people do stupid things."

The young man with glasses couldn't help but mutter again.

Only this time, his voice was much softer.

He is not stupid. Watanabe Yu and Kiriyama Kazuma are two people, but he is one person.

What if he speaks louder and is heard? Will he get beaten?
Amid the synthesized sound of electronic music, Watanabe Yu glanced at the door.

After catching a glimpse of the female figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he controlled the joystick and swung the hook.

Then he pressed the red down button.

The iron hook held the stuffed bear tightly.

This time, the teddy bear did not slip again, but fell steadily into the exit of the toy.

"..."

The young man with glasses fell silent.

He suddenly felt the pain of being slapped on the face.

“Wow, awesome!”

Kiriyama and Ma handed the doll to Takakura Maki and then applauded.

"That's awesome, bro!"

"Si Guoyi!"

"Brother, are you a claw machine fairy!?"

A few outgoing passers-by who had been paying attention to this place also joined in the discussion happily.

In such a cheerful atmosphere, the young man wearing glasses fell silent.

He silently changed his position and shrank his body as if to avoid the gazes of those around him.

Although the words he muttered just now were soft, those who were slightly closer to him heard them.

Now, those half-smiling looks given to him made him want to crawl into the ground.

"Look, didn't they catch him?"

I don't know when his girlfriend came back to his side.

"Just control the hook like that and swing it a few times. I told you, there's a technique to it."

She said again.

"It's just good luck."

He stiffened his neck and spoke stubbornly.

This time, he couldn't control his voice, and more and more people looked at him with a smile.

However, his girlfriend said that there is a trick to it, so after that person leaves, he will try it too. He still doesn't believe it. He can hook out ten coins, but he can't hook out twenty coins!
The conversation between the two fell into Watanabe Yu's ears.

Obviously, the fish has taken the bait.

Retracting his gaze, he bent down, picked up the teddy bear and handed it to Hamabe Ryoko.

"Here, it's the same stuffed bear as it was back then, but it's new."

His tone was very gentle.

The words fell.

Hamabe Ryoko's eyes suddenly turned red.

But in the end, she held her temper.

"……Thanks."

There was a slight nasal note in her voice.

Taking the teddy bear, she hugged it tightly.

It was like hugging a treasure that had been reunited after a long separation.

[Rewards have been distributed]

【Family Medical Care (Primary)】

*
After coming out of the video game arcade, Tokyo, which was sunny an hour ago, suddenly became covered with dark clouds.

"Isn't it going to rain?"

Watanabe Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the dark sky.

I have to say that the weather forecast is really not accurate at all.

The weather in July and my mother’s face change in an instant, right?
"The weather forecast didn't say it would rain."

Hamabe Ryoko was holding a plastic bag containing a teddy bear in her hand, and her voice was gentler than before.

"Would you like to buy an umbrella?"

Watanabe Yu still asked a question.

"I don't think so. This might just be a rain for a while. What do you think?"

"Maybe."

Seeing Hamabe Ryoko so confident, Watanabe Yuu didn't know what to say.

"Then let's go to the restaurant for lunch."

He said this and took a step forward.

Originally, Maki Takakura planned for the four of them to have lunch together, but she suddenly received a call from home and had to go back, so the plan naturally fell through.

The two continued to act according to the planned itinerary.

But as the saying goes, many things cannot be changed by people's thoughts.

After lunch, the weather did not clear up again, but it certainly didn't look like it was going to rain either.

After strolling around for more than four hours, the two had dinner early and then started their journey home.

Although the rain may not stop in a short period of time, it is always a good idea to go home early in this kind of weather.

——And the weather forecast also said that the rain is expected to fall in three hours.

"By the way, how did You know about the stuffed bear?"

Walking on the bustling commercial street, Hamabe Ryoko looked at the passers-by around her and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Grandma let it slip before. She mentioned it once."

Yu Watanabe told a little lie.

"Oh."

Hamabe Ryoko lowered her eyes.

"Anyway, I feel that the life we ​​are living right now is real."

Watanabe Yu coughed lightly and said this.

It is important to live in the present.

"Well, I know."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded.

"By the way, have you called grandma recently?"

Watanabe Yu took the initiative to change the subject.

When you are relaxing like this, don't mention things that will make you feel uncomfortable.

"I have."

Ryoko Hamabe raised her eyes and looked at the skyline in the distance. Thick dark clouds covered the city sky.

"Grandma is recovering very well. There is basically no problem with the wound now. She is almost done with the second course of medicine prescribed by the doctor. After finishing the medicine, she will go to the nearest hospital for a simple re-examination, and then she will be able to put her mind at ease."

She paused and smiled.

"Of course, you can't do heavy physical labor. The doctor specifically told you that."

There was no way she would let her grandmother do those heavy work again.

Even if she had to put on a smile and even contribute money and effort for it.

"Anyway, it's getting better, isn't it?"

Watanabe Yu echoed.

"Yeah, then when can I max out your favorability? Teacher You."

Hamabe Ryoko turned around and spoke her true feelings in a joking tone.

“You’re already brushing.”

Watanabe Yu's answer was concise and to the point.

"really?"

She blinked and asked playfully.

"Really." Watanabe Yu nodded, "Also, it would be best if you could give me some more trust in life."

It made him feel very awkward. Since the Saint Lady moved in, he has not washed his clothes, pants, socks or even underwear himself.

Ryoko Hamabe would always be considerate and wash his dirty clothes when he took a shower.

He also mentioned to her that it didn't have to be like this and he could just do it himself.

But her attitude was quite firm and he couldn't persuade her.

"For example?"

Hamabe Ryoko took over the conversation.

"For example, you can let me into the kitchen for a while. I can just wash the fruits I bring in. They don't need to be cut neatly. You don't have to wash my clothes. I can do it myself."

Watanabe Yu said this honestly.

"No."

Hamabe Ryoko shook her head without even thinking about it.

At the moment, she can't help him with his career, so what she can do is take care of his life.

"If I get used to it, I'll become a useless person if you do this."

Watanabe Yu sighed.

"Isn't that just right?"

Hamabe Ryoko thought about it and added this sentence.

"Then I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

Come to think of it, she was really looking forward to this day.

If You really becomes a useless person in life, then it's only natural that I'd be the only one willing to stay with him.

Isn't it also the ultimate goal that has been achieved?

"Life is long, don't talk about it lightly."

Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Where is this?

The two walked past the intersection of the commercial street and entered the pedestrian street where there were less pedestrians.

“… You, you’re so old-fashioned! Ah!”

Ryoko Hamabe made a face at him, turned her back and walked away.

But she didn't seem to notice the drop in the steps ahead.

I missed a step.

Although she finally managed to stand firmly, she inevitably sprained her ankle.

"..."

Watanabe Yu looked at her with a puzzled look.

The latter pursed his lips, limped a step to the side, snorted lightly, and then looked away.

Tick, tick.

Inaccurate weather forecasts are always accurate when they are inaccurate.

Drops of rain fell on the ground.

Then, in less than ten seconds, the light rain turned into moderate rain, and began to develop towards heavy to torrential rain.

"Come up."

Watanabe Yu walked up to Hamabe Ryoko without hesitation and squatted down.

"..."

Hamabe Ryoko didn't hesitate anymore and just lay on his back obediently.

The next second, she was carried on his back.

He just started walking like this.

Tick, tick.

The sound of rain became more and more intense.

A minute later, the moderate rain turned into heavy rain, and heavy rain fell from the sky.

The sound of rain filled the entire sky.

The thick rain curtain seemed to cover the city.

In an instant, the two were soaked like drowned rats.

Suddenly, Hamabe Ryoko, who was lying on Watanabe Yu's back, stretched out her hand.

"Yu."

She pointed to the sign that was glowing in the rain.

The pink English words on it are clearly visible.

hotel.

"Let's go there to avoid the rain for a while. When the rain stops, we can go home."

She laid her head on his back and whispered these words.
