Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Because the current Wuhua is almost like a pre-trained AI script; no matter how you choose to attack, Wuhua can always respond with the optimal solution.

Often, even before you've pressed the button on the arcade machine and the screen has changed anything, the fogging has already been dealt with...

No... there's a cheat code!! Ah!!

How do you play this?

At this moment, Ai Yin was almost in tears.

If it were someone else, she would really suspect that the other person was cheating.

But... they chose the arcade themselves, they chose the game themselves... and the two of them never even left the arcade machine the entire time.

Even if Wuhua has extraordinary connections, she has absolutely no chance to cheat.

Aine grew increasingly anxious as the fight progressed, while Arakawa Kirika became more and more relaxed.

There's nothing we can do.

Since we've already hit rock bottom, I don't mind being a little more shameless.

Ai Yin seemed to have a "what's the use" attitude.

She still has... her last resort.

Because... she hadn't taught Kirika any lessons during the entire battle with her.

In fact, in this fighting game, each character has their own special move.

Wuhua is currently unaware of this.

I'm sorry, Wuhua... I didn't want it to be like this either... You forced me into it.

So Aine finally decided to unleash her ultimate move.

……Um?

At that moment, Arakawa Kirika's expression showed a hint of surprise, but that was all.

Aine never expected... that even her last resort would be defended against by Kirika...

Her last resort failed, and Aine had no choice but to resign herself to her fate, resorting to haphazard attacks and losing the match in a completely undignified manner.

At this point, Arakawa Kirika's health had only dropped by less than a third.

It was easy and enjoyable to complete a three-in-a-row.

"Hmm... It's a pity. I thought you could at least knock me out of my first role."

For Arakawa Kirika, the taste of victory had been experienced far too many times, so she wasn't particularly excited.

Sensing Arakawa Kirika's bored tone, Aine could only silently lower her head.

They tried their best, but they still couldn't get Lady Wuhua to use her full strength...

I'm so sorry I couldn't make Lady Kirika enjoy herself to the fullest...

Well... Aine finally slowly raised her head again, because in her heart, there were too many questions that urgently needed to be answered.

"Mist Flower... how did you do that... you can see through almost any of my moves with ease... that's too unfair, Mist Flower, do you know how to use [charts] or have you reached the Transparent Realm?"

Wuhua blinked blankly.

She doesn't watch anime much, so naturally she doesn't know what Aine's "charts" and "transparent realm" are.

But she still knew that Aine was praising her for being amazing.

"Isn't this simple? Just memorize the pre-attack animations for all your characters and all your moves."

Arakawa Kiri-Rin-Yume-Rin-Shugo-Rei-Kake-Shan-Liu-Ku-Hana's tone remained calm, almost devoid of emotion.

This isn't some kind of Versailles; for her, a few dozen matches of experience are basically enough for her to do this.

"Wait a minute??"

Ai asked, somewhat incredulously.

"So... Wuhua, you've memorized everything in this game, every character's moves, including light and heavy attacks, and the wind-up animations for special moves?"

"Yeah, is it that hard?"

Upon hearing Arakawa Kirika's words, Aine could only crouch down on the ground, her face filled with shock, her hands covering her head.

In that moment, Aine once again experienced the diversity of the world.

It turns out that the differences between people can really be this great.

Seeing Aine curled up in a ball, dejected, Arakawa Kirika fell into thought.

Then she first pulled Ai-yin to her feet.

"By the way, Aine, is there something you need to apologize to me for?"

Arakawa Kirika narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

Um... Aine quickly thought for a moment, and then realized what Kirika was talking about.

"Oh... I'm sorry... I really wanted to beat Wuhua, that's why I didn't tell her that the character actually has a special move..."

Ai-yin spoke timidly, closing her eyes in fear.

But the punishment she feared never came, until she opened her eyes again.

"Um... Wuhua, aren't you going to... punish me?"

Arakawa Kirika tilted her head slightly upon hearing this, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"Hmm? You actually asked for punishment on your own? I didn't expect you to be such a masochist, Aine."

"No...no, that's not true..."

Regarding Arakawa Kirika's claim that she is a masochist... Aine wanted to deny it, but seemed to lack confidence.

Because... many of my behaviors in front of Wuhua do indeed resemble those of a masochist.

Even though he knew clearly that Wuhua disliked him, he still repeatedly tried to get Wuhua's attention.

Even though I fail every time, I still can't help wanting to provoke Wuhua or something...

Could it be... that I was really expecting to be punished by II玲扒巫冷氿厁榴jiu;`零梦雾花?

She knew that Haneoka's classmates, who were initially afraid of Kirika, had formed the "Arakawa Kirika" fan club by the end of the semester.

As for the slogans they displayed, they were even more outrageous.

It's all that flirtatious stuff like, "I was born to call you Master of Mist Flower."

Hmm... if the other party is Kirika... calling her "master"... isn't entirely unacceptable.

Seeing that Aine was so embarrassed that she couldn't even speak coherently, Arakawa Kirika didn't press the issue and proactively changed the subject.

"I didn't expect the game to be so fun. Maybe I can bring Xiangzi and the others to try it out sometime."

Arakawa Kirika said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand.

Hearing this, Ai Yin immediately perked up.

Because she felt that at that moment, she was as if she had been given a sense of mission by an invisible force.

She had already made up her mind to send a group message later.

**Definitely...definitely do not play fighting games with Kirika.**

This is all for the sake of the girls' mental health.

Although most people would be confused upon receiving this message, Ai Yin still felt she had to warn them.

Hell lies ahead; do not approach.

Arakawa Kirika had no idea what was going on in Aine's little head. She slowly looked into Aine's eyes again.

"I had a lot of fun this time, so not only did I not get any punishment, but I also got a reward!"

These words immediately brought Ai Yin back to her senses.

Wait a minute... Wuhua said there's a reward?

Aine's eyes widened instantly, her expression revealing no hint of anticipation.

Volume 1: Chapter 214 Advanced Gameplay

Ok……

Arakawa Kirika fell into thought.

Although she said she would give Aine a reward, she hadn't actually decided what to give her.

Arakawa Kirika knew very well that no matter what she gave Aine, this girl would probably let out that silly, sickeningly sweet laugh and then happily accept it.

But Arakawa Kirika did not intend to brush Aine off because of this. She thought about it for a moment and then made up her mind.

To some extent, this is also thanks to Aine. If Aine hadn't brought me here, I really wouldn't have thought of giving this.

So Arakawa Kirika led Aine to the... claw machine on the side.

"Huh? Is Wuhua going to give me this?"

Aine's expression was exactly as excited as Arakawa Kirika had predicted.

"What, you don't like it?"

Arakawa Kirika asked with some doubt. How could she not know what Aine was thinking? This was just a rhetorical question.

"Of course not! I'll be happy no matter what Wuhua gives me."

Aine quickly raised the volume of her voice, as if afraid that Arakawa Kirika would change her mind.

"That's good... Last time we only gave you the lamp and harmony, this time we've finally made up for it with yours."

Arakawa Kirika smiled gently.

But that fleeting smile left Aine momentarily stunned.

So that's why... Wuhua specifically chose to give me the doll...

Aine's thoughts uncontrollably drifted into memories.

At the fireworks display that day, Wuhua appeared at a very subtle moment and then gave Deng Hemu a doll.
