Tokyo Sound

"?"

The girl straightened her collar, pursed her lips, and stood in front of a person-high wide-screen game console with a pale face. She slowly selected the black and red mode difficulty that looked very tough. In an instant, the LED lights on the entire surface of the machine were flashing exciting and tense red and blue lights. Sakura-san felt like she was in the cockpit of a giant humanoid final battle weapon that was about to lose its mind. Her thin figure looked so frail and helpless.

As he went berserk, a massive amount of notes swept in like a world-destroying storm of locusts, easily drowning Master Zuo.

Leaking symbols, leaking, leaking again, and leaking again, leaking like crazy, the evaluation directly became E in a second.

Seeing the tragic scene, Yin Ze sighed deeply.

It is difficult for people to know themselves.

But at one moment, that E suddenly upgraded to D. Even though it only lasted for a blink of an eye, it was enough to make Master Yin, who was watching intently outside the field, tremble with his heart and take a breath of cold air.

Even that miracle was just the beginning. The evaluation was slowly climbing. Sakura Ayane did not collapse, but fought her way out of the swarm of insects with difficulty! She also entered the Cthulhu state with an extra hand.

I never expected that the score would eventually reach a decent B. Even though it was small, it was as tenacious as a strong grass in the wind and never bent.

After a song, Master Zuo, who seemed to be burned out, staggered back.

"So strong." The man's expression was serious, and this time he spoke with a hint of sincerity.

"That's amazing! So cool!" Hidaka Rina came over and handed her water.

"Go ahead, let's go to the next one." Sakura Ayane said with a forced smile.

The three of them climbed up and down the arcade on the night of fierce battle. They played basketball machines, dance machines, jazz drums, doll grabbing, taiko drumming and other projects. Sakura-san really performed super well in all kinds of projects, and her determination to accompany Hidaka Rina was burning from the inside out. Among them, the puppet grabbing link was the most expensive. The 200 free coins enjoyed by platinum members were all lost under Sakura-san's rude methods. In the end, someone couldn't stand it, and took out his platinum membership card with a cold snort, exchanged all the remaining free coins, and went into battle himself... and then lost all his money under the humbly seeking advice from others.

rest area.

"Here, your lemon tea."

"Thank you."

Yin Ze accepted it politely. This was Sakura's initiative to invite him, which was of great significance. It seemed that she finally understood the principle of being magnanimous, and his teachings and deeds over the past few days were worth it.

"Hidaka-chan, this is your banana milkshake. I specially asked for more sugar."

"Thank you. I have some freshly baked cookies here too. After repeated trials and errors and improvements, they have finally reached the stage of finished products."

Watching the two familiar people exchanging cold drinks and handmade biscuits that were specially gifted to them, Yin Ze silently used a straw to pierce the seal of the simple standard drink in his hand and silently absorbed the water.

Lemon tea, sour.

With his intelligence, from the interaction between the two people and thinking about what happened recently, it was not difficult to guess the identity of "that friend" they had mentioned before.

The only thing that puzzles me is what exactly brought them together?

"How about it? What do you think after playing it all?" Sakura Ayane poked Hidaka Rina with her elbow and asked impatiently.

"Before, you said you wanted to invite me to the place you frequent most. At first, I thought it was a park bookstore, but it turned out to be a video game arcade. I seldom come to places like this, and it was unexpectedly interesting." Hidaka Rina was in high spirits, tilting her head and asking with a smile, "You didn't expect me to show up, did you?"

"No." Yin Ze nodded honestly.

"Have you calmed down from your unexpected mood now?"

"I've calmed down. Besides, I only have one thought now."

"what?"

"So it turns out that Sakura-san has been pretending to be me." Yin Ze said expressionlessly.

"I tried my best before." Sakura muttered softly.

"Do you think I, a just and wise person, will believe it?" Yin Ze laughed.

"So do you come here to play often?" Hidaka Rina asked curiously.

"A few times a week." Yin Ze said while drinking water, "But she has been busy with trivial matters in the past two weeks, and I have been walking alone for a long time."

"Oh." Hidaka Rina thought for a moment, "Then you two must have a really good relationship. You two can both spend so much time together as a team."

"It's nothing. It's not good anyway." Yin Ze said calmly.

"Why?" Sakura, who was enjoying delicious handmade cookies, looked back in surprise and stopped what she was doing. Her wide eyes were filled with surprise and confusion, and even a hint of grievance.

"It's easier to communicate with friends of the same sex and the same age than with older college students who have a generation gap with me, right? After being used as a guinea pig by a black-hearted chef, I will face the fate of being eliminated again. I will eventually be out of the game and become an abandoned child of the version." Yin Ze said calmly, shaking his head.

"Ouch, I'm so sore." Hidaka Rina touched her forearm and bared her teeth exaggeratedly, "This person is really petty."

"The new phantom god is mocking my sewer. Never mind. There's no point in talking any more. I'd better go play arcade games." The man patted his butt and stood up.

"What arcade?"

"A side-scrolling fighting game, "Fist of the End 4"."

"I haven't tried it, can I play it?"

"I don't want to say anything too rude..." Yin Ze nodded.

The younger senior who has always been taught by Sakura-san is like a delicate flower in a greenhouse bathed in artificial light and fertilized with targeted fertilizers, who has no idea what torrential rain and thunder are.

It is a bit too naive and romantic to want to get started with this hardcore thing.

"What? I'm also talented in making this kind of disgusted expression. Didn't I play pretty well before? Besides, I have Sakura-chan to help me. It's not certain who will win or lose." Hidaka Rina muttered.

"Ha, since you said so, then bring your teacher with you." Yin Ze stood proudly with his hands behind his back, walked away in the breeze, his temperament was very arrogant.

"How dare this guy be so arrogant? Come on, let's go and teach him a lesson together!" Hidaka Rina said indignantly and pulled the still confused Sakura Ayane to follow.

……

"Why is that guy still staring at the machine?"

"I couldn't accept it for a while. I was so proud that I wanted to play against the world's third place, but the goalkeeper scored three goals and ten goals."

The young man had a black streak on his hair. Can these guys please be more careful when talking about others? This is not just whispering, it's clearly an open class speech. He took a last look at the battle scene, stood up suddenly, and went to the front desk holding his helmet.

He has to get up from where he fell. If he wants to become the strongest player, he must overcome all obstacles. It is a good thing that there are people who can defeat him quickly. After all, only by competing with masters can he continuously improve his strength. What's more, Kawasaki Haru and Itabashi Moto are both trapped in love and marriage. Their fighting spirit must have been affected and no longer as pure as it was at their peak. Their skills must have been affected and declined.

At this time, that guy became his only opponent!

Go apply for a membership card now and start hard practice.

The young man with highlighted hair had only taken a few steps when he saw the man who had given him his first defeat in Tokyo come back. He looked very happy and said with full energy, "It's good that you're back. Let's fight again..."

Jin Shandao didn't finish his words and held back the rest of his words because he clearly saw two lovely girls behind the strong man.

An ominous premonition began to emerge.

"That's it. Who of you two will come?" Yin Ze randomly picked an unmanned machine and sat down, asking leisurely.

"Me." Hidaka Rina stubbornly challenged, "I also played arcade games when I was a kid."

Without the blessing of the "work set" environment, the toughness of the younger seniors was so soft, so weak that it collapsed on its own.

After quickly entering the execution...battle interface, the two characters began to test and fight each other.

What’s surprising is that the senior didn’t seem to be showing off, and actually looked like he had played it before, at least he knew the basics.

What a pity! How could such a novice be a match for him? The young man with dyed hair standing quietly in the back watching the fight thought to himself.

As expected, in just less than two minutes, Yin Ze defeated the three opposing characters perfectly with full health. The process was boring and it was an overwhelming victory.

Seeing the man's calm face after defeating the cute girl, the young man with highlighted hair suddenly felt a bit of admiration.

"I was almost able to touch it." Hidaka Rina looked at the opponent's health bar with regret.

"It's only a short distance away, yet it's a world away." Yin Ze's lonely muttering to himself was a perfect interpretation of handsomeness and coolness.

"Damn it, Sakura-chan, I'll leave it to you to teach him a lesson." Hidaka Rina reluctantly gave up her seat.

"Yeah, leave it to me. He has never beaten me." Sakura Ayane said it very firmly.

What? The young man with dyed hair couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this and cast a scrutinizing look.

The true peerless master is actually someone else?

"There's no point in talking more, let's see what happens with our own hands." Yin Ze urged in a low voice.

Sakura-san did not hesitate, rolled up her sleeves, showing her smooth arms, and took the challenge. She selected the players neatly, and her hands were hot as she typed, which showed that she was quite experienced, and she must have had a lot of practice.

The battle is about to begin, and the characters in the game are an old man in a long gown and a muscular man!

The young man with dyed hair couldn't help but take a few steps closer, holding his breath. The two sides were fighting hard and it was very tense. At the critical moment, the strong man rashly raised a flying dragon to defend against the air, but the attack missed, leaving the enemy with a fatal gap.

It was obvious that he was faking it to trick you into counterattacking. Alas, that's not how you play.

The young man with highlighted hair shook his head, certain that this chance was a failure and it would all depend on how the next two characters performed.

The old man in the long gown really seized this opportunity and used a combo when the strong man landed. The vicious and vicious combo was simply a replica of the previous one. This start, with a full gas bar, was exactly the same Ten Cuts that killed him. The young man with highlighted hair, who was the new victim, couldn't help curling his lips.

But the next second, something happened that shocked him.

The old man in the long gown is disconnected!

The super fatal acupuncture point that used the finger as a sword actually missed because the distance was not well controlled! The old man's fingertips, which were gathering killing intent, were slightly away from the strong man, and only poked the air!

The world is just a stone's throw away.

The old man in the long gown inevitably fell into stiffness after his ultimate move went inaccurate, and the sturdy man counterattacked instantly, using a steady and unpretentious small combo to eliminate half of the enemy's health. It could be said to be cautious, it could be said to be seeking stability. In short, after a wave of attack and defense, both sides pulled back and resumed the confrontation.

Ah this?

The young man with highlighted hair scratched his hair.

How could this be possible? That level of proficiency could actually be wasted?

But mistakes happen, and it’s okay, because victory or defeat won’t change.

At this time, the man lured the second opportunity through superb techniques. The old man in the long gown launched a fierce attack, starting with a brand new combo different from the first time, with the same high damage and high efficiency. Unfortunately, his energy bar was not enough, otherwise he would have finished off the strong man. He retreated after his blood was depleted.

In the third wave, the two were struggling, and they were in danger of losing if they were hit by a few punches. The girl seemed very nervous about this situation, and was a little timid, while the man was experienced and calm, with his hands not shaking.

A strong man cannot send flying props. The old man won by releasing a few air swords on the spot. This should be the end, right? The young man with highlighted hair thought.

Then the old man in the long gown was seen running straight forward in a standard track and field sprint, but the sturdy man kicked him in the face reflexively and he flew out dead.

"?"

"Great!" Hidaka Rina immediately cheered.

"What are you so proud of? We still have two roles." Yin Ze said calmly.

The following battles were quite intense, and each game basically used up the game time.

The young man with highlighted hair looked more and more strange, and even his breathing became rapid.

The result was that the men were defeated three by the girls, and it was almost always a dead end, with the girls winning narrowly in the end.

"Is there nothing to say now?" Hidaka Rina said proudly.

"I'm lucky too..." Sakura Ayane said hurriedly, glancing furtively at the person next to her.

"I'm not as skilled as you, so I admit defeat." Yin Ze reached out to take the water.

"Hehe, we finally crushed his enthusiasm. Let's go play something else." Hidaka Rina said with satisfaction.

The three men left quickly.

As for the young man with highlighted hair who watched the entire game, he was shaking with anger.

"What happened to that guy?"

"I watched the match-fixing and couldn't accept it for a while. Sigh, at such a young age, why should I watch a couple's solo?"

In the distance, that group of people were discussing secretly in broad daylight.

Chapter 115: The Main Servants’ Meal

The setting sun was setting, casting shadows of numerous buildings. The dim twilight fell on the asphalt road and the textured tiles of the sidewalks. The city was dyed a tired brown and yellow. A stray cat lay on the flower bed and yawned. Its emerald green eyes silently watched the endless stream of cars through a guardrail. The buses full of employees getting off work made a heavy buzzing sound.

"Then I'll leave first. I had a lot of fun today." Hidaka Rina waved goodbye to them.

"Aren't we going to have dinner together?" Sakura Ayane was slightly stunned. "Isn't it time for dinner now?"

"I have to go to a private school for two classes at 8 o'clock in the evening. It's just right for me to rush over now. I can also heat up some chicken nuggets from the convenience store before studying." explained Rina Hidaka.

"...Is that so? It's really hard." Sakura Ayane said with a little regret.

"Okay, let's play again when we have time later." Hidaka Rina said with a smile, then turned and left, walking quickly towards the subway station entrance.

"Even though we are of the same age and status, I always feel that she has it hardest." Sakura Ayane sighed in a low voice as she looked at the gradually disappearing figure.

"At an age when you should be free to do whatever you want, you can control yourself and allocate your precious youth time so reasonably and not waste it every day. It's really not easy." Yin Ze agreed, "Self-disciplined people are the most terrifying, just like me."

"Are you self-disciplined? Do you run every day or control your diet?" Sakura Ayane wondered.
