Crossover Anime: The Heroine's Savior in the Other World

"If you don't remember, we'll do it again."

Kitahara Sousuke took the girl's hand again.

"..."

Sifang Diezi wanted to lash out, but hesitated. She decided to try one more time. After all, she had already been touched once, so one more or one less time wouldn't make a difference. She could teach this scumbag a lesson later.

Butterfly won't fall for these small favors; my heart still belongs to my brother!

no way.

The moment you grab the plush toy with your own hands is incredibly satisfying. No wonder you often see news reports on TV about people spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of yen on claw machines in order to win limited edition figurines or plush toys.

Moreover, now that she has the opportunity to master a super shameless claw machine technique, Sifang Diezi thought to herself, she should just endure it for now and wait until she has mastered the skill before turning her back on her.

"Hmph, I've already learned it." As she drew the second doll, Four-Sided Butterfly proudly raised her head. "Get out of my way!"

Kitahara Sosuke chuckled lightly: "Then you try it yourself."

"Just try it!"

Four-sided Butterfly confidently inserted two game coins.

then……

"Oh, damn it!"

Just now, I thought I had mastered the ultimate skill of claw machines, and I even imagined myself grabbing all the limited edition items in the entire claw machine area.

However, reality dealt Sifang Diezi a heavy blow.

"Don't be discouraged, you're almost there."

Kitahara Sousuke coughed lightly, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"dare you laugh!"

Sifang Diezi glared angrily at the other party with her beautiful eyes.

"I wasn't laughing. I was just trying to comfort you, okay?"

Although I really want to laugh, I absolutely mustn't laugh out loud, or I'll get beaten up.

"I'm not playing anymore, I'm going to play another game."

Sifang Diezi hummed softly.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket. You've already got enough plush toys. Including the one Kitahara Sosuke asked her to get for him at the beginning, Yomo Choko has a total of four plush toys of different sizes in her arms.

What do you want to play?

"this!"

Yoko's eyes lit up as she looked around the arcade games, then pointed to a racing machine not far from the two of them.

Kitahara Sousuke followed the girl's finger and looked in the direction she was pointing:

A race car flashed by on the electronic screen, leaving only the deafening roar of its engine. Racing is a man's romance, but how could Shifang Diezi, a girl, like this kind of thing?

"you sure?"

Kitahara Sousuke asked doubtfully.

"Humph!"

Yoko ignored him and walked straight over to an empty seat. Two people could teach each other how to play the claw machine, but this guy couldn't very well sit down with her while she was driving, could he?

The girl inserted two game coins into the lower left corner of the steering wheel, and the screen flashed, immediately taking her to the car selection interface.

"It doesn't seem difficult?"

Curious, Yoko stepped on the brake and accelerator, then turned the steering wheel. Just as she was about to enter the game, a line of text suddenly popped up on her screen:

Someone has invited you to an in-store battle. Will you accept?

whether

"what is this?"

Yomo Choko looked at Kitahara Sousuke standing behind her with a puzzled expression.

It means someone wants to hang out with you.

Kitahara Sousuke explained.

People who play racing games generally enjoy competitive games, so it's not uncommon for some die-hard fans to send in-store challenges to others.

"So, do you want to accept it?"

"It will be all right."

"Then we accept."

The girl turned the steering wheel and the cursor moved to the word "Yes". She lightly pressed the accelerator with her right foot and clicked "OK".

so excited!

The game that Yoko was playing was called Wangan 12DX. The girl chose a Mazda RX9FD and customized its paint job to her favorite red. The other girl, on the other hand, chose a black Subaru SVX.

After both sides selected their cars, the game loaded quickly.

"3! 2! 1!"

"Ready! Go!"

As the countdown ended, the two cars sped off simultaneously like arrows released from a bow.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa——”

Sifang Diezi exclaimed in surprise. Less than ten seconds after starting, the black Subaru overtook her car and then steadily passed her red Mazda.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Sifang Diezi slammed on the gas pedal while constantly turning the steering wheel left and right, making the car swerve precariously through one curve after another; he was clearly a novice driver.

In contrast, the Subaru on the other side was much more skilled. The Subaru skillfully drifted through several corners, quickly leaving the red Mazda far behind.

By the time the first lap was halfway over, Sifang Diezi could no longer see the other car's taillights in her field of vision. She could only observe from the small map in the upper right corner that the gap between her and the other car was getting bigger and bigger.

The result was obvious; after accidentally hitting a wall, Yoko didn't even finish the second lap before the game ended due to timeout.

"Ugh... How humiliating."

The girl patted the steering wheel in frustration. Losing the race was one thing, but not even finishing the whole course was just too disheartening.

"It's okay, it's always like this the first time." Kitahara Sosuke patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly and helped her insert the coin again. "Just try it one more time."

"Damn it, we won't lose this time!"

Furious, Yoko sent a challenge to the other person's machine, and the other person accepted it without hesitation.

however……

"Damn it, I lost again!"

Sifang Diezi slammed her head on the steering wheel; the more she couldn't win, the more she wanted to win.

"How about I give it a try?"

Seeing the unwilling expression on Yotsuka Choko's face, and the fact that the girl even wanted to continue accepting the opponent's challenge, Kitahara Sousuke quickly pressed her down.

Players at the same skill level can play for a while, but Sifangdiezi is clearly not at the same level as the person on the other side of the screen. Continuing to play would only be humiliating.

"Hmph, help me get revenge, you can't lose!"

Yoko didn't try to be tough. She stood up and took the plush toys from Kitahara Sousuke's arms, giving him her spot on the racing machine.

"I'll give it a try..."

Kitahara Sousuke had played many of these games before. Although he wasn't proficient enough to know the performance advantages and disadvantages of each car model and the selection of parts, he had still achieved some success.

It's not like it's a match between top professional players; it's just a game between ordinary people. The only difference is the skill level.

"We absolutely cannot lose!"

Yokoko threatened from the side.

"understood."

Chapter 147 Brother-in-law?

As soon as the race started, Kitahara Sousuke's car was locked in close combat with his opponent.

However, as he approached a U-turn, Kitahara Sosuke's eyes sharpened. He quickly switched between the accelerator and brake, turned the steering wheel, and with the car door scraping against the inner lane railing, he overtook his opponent with a skillful drift.

These are skills he learned from watching Initial D when he was a kid, like navigating bends in drainage ditches. In movies and anime, they look incredibly cool.

What followed was a long chase. By constantly adjusting his position using the rearview mirror, Kitahara Sosuke repeatedly blocked the other's attempts to overtake him, until the entire race was over.

"We won! Nice!"

As Kitahara Sousuke's Mazda crossed the finish line first, Yomo Choko, who had been nervously clenching her fists the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief and shouted excitedly.

"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."

Kitahara Sousuke smiled faintly. He was naturally happy to have won the match, but before he could say anything more, another message flashed on the game screen:

The other player invites you to continue the in-store battle. Do you accept?

"..."

"Huh, it seems like they're still not convinced?" Shifang Diezi was slightly taken aback when she saw the words that popped up on the screen, but she immediately realized, "Teach them a lesson again!"

The girl grabbed the steering wheel from Kitahara Sousuke and chose to accept the battle for him.

"..."

"So you're not the one who has to put your feelings into action, are you?" Kitahara Sosuke thought to himself helplessly. "The game's already started, so there's nothing I can do about it."
