After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

Under normal circumstances, this crazy computer would not be killed, but at least it would not be killed. But now it has fallen to this point... There is no other way, so let's use that trick!

I kept repeating to myself that I had no choice, there was no other way, at least I couldn't lose to the computer, wave swinging was also part of the game, if you don't like it then don't play... and so on, while my hands began to press keys in a fixed rhythm.

↓↘→+A, ↓↘→+A...and so on.

Then, on the entire screen, in Kasumigaoka Utaha's perspective, the character controlled by Natsukawa Kanade began to release a kind of energy ball continuously, over and over again, until the opponent's character's health was completely drained and finally killed.

"..." So she couldn't help but look strange, looking at the junior who was sitting in front of her and seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know what to say.

Is this situation... considered cheating?

Although she didn't understand the rules at all, she subconsciously felt that this way of winning was too despicable.

But what made her even more speechless was yet to come——

Natsukawa Zou wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and said as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "He was such a tough opponent. I almost lost."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "..."

Just when she was about to say something, a primary school student suddenly jumped out from beside Xiachuan Kanade, pointed at him and said, "Big brother, you are such a wimp."

"Ah?" Natsukawa Zou had never imagined that one day he would be called a greenhorn for just typing on the computer, and by an elementary school student at that.

So he turned his head and tried to comfort her in a friendly manner: "You can't say that. There is a saying that no matter what the means, as long as you win, it is good."

The little mushroom-head nodded as if he understood, "Oh, I get it. As long as we win, it's okay even if we cheat!"

"Ah? This..." Xia Chuan Zou suddenly felt ashamed, thinking that he must not lead the children astray, so he lied again, "But then again, if we can win the victory in an honest way, that would naturally be better."

So the little mushroom-head tilted his head, thought for a while, and finally said the most important sentence: "Then I understand... So it is because big brother is too weak."

He was even just stating the facts in a very innocent tone, but to Natsukawa Zou it was like setting off firecrackers on his heart, and his whole body was shaking.

Wow, what vicious words! How can a young person with a temperature of 37 degrees say such cold words!

So Xiachuan Zou couldn't help it, thinking that even if he was a child, there were some things that couldn't be said, and he must be educated!

"So you're pretty awesome, then?"

"Well, I'm very good, better than my big brother." The little mushroom-head nodded affirmatively.

Xiachuan Zou narrowed his eyes, thinking that this is what he was waiting for you to say!

"In that case... I'll give you three game coins, and then we'll have a little competition so I can see your strength. If you win, I'll give you three more coins. How about that?"

This is the so-called bullying the weak, but at this moment Xia Chuan Zou has no choice, if he doesn't do it, his thoughts will not make sense! So he had to use game coins to seduce him.

But this little mushroom-head seems to be quite well-behaved and even knows to hesitate and be polite.

"In that case, if I win over Big Brother, wouldn't that make him lose face in front of Big Sister?"

After all, those were three game coins. He had thought he would lose them all, but he didn't expect to get three more.

"Hiss..." Xia Chuan Zou took a breath of cold air, thinking that he was really looked down upon this time, so he said with a stern face: "Children are not allowed to talk nonsense, but don't worry, since I agreed to give you game coins, I will definitely give them to you as long as you can really beat me."

No matter what, he didn't believe that the little brat in front of him could beat him.

Just kidding, even though he is not used to the settings of the joystick, his many years of experience in King of Fighters is there. This little mushroom-head is only 7 or 8 years old at most. Can he compete with him, a veteran who has been immersed in this game for many years?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! The experience ratio is at least 10:1, the advantage is on him!

So after he put in the coins for the opponent, Xia Chuan Zou was very generous - he chose the three characters that he was the best at, and he didn't forget to remind him: "I'm going to be a little generous and use my three weakest characters to fight you."

The little mushroom-head ignored him and started choosing a role on his own.

After both sides confirm, the game officially begins.

Natsukawa Zou immediately became extremely alert and started to fight like an expert - testing and constantly testing the opponent's strength.

The so-called fighting games can basically be understood as the ultimate variant of rock-paper-scissors. You only need to take corresponding counterbalancing moves when the opponent uses a certain action. For example, when the opponent uses an attacking move, you defend, and then counterattack during the opponent's stiffness; for example, when the opponent defends, you use throwing skills to break the opponent's defense. In this way, you can slowly advance and basically gain a blood volume advantage. Then you can either play steadily or adopt other tactics according to your personal wishes.

What Xiachuan Zou has to do now is to first find out the opponent's playing habits, whether he is the type who just attacks fiercely or the type who likes to defend and counterattack.

Although he was facing just an elementary school student, he did not dare to be careless at all.

After all, if you are accidentally defeated by an elementary school student, you will be completely embarrassed.

However, sometimes, the less you want something, the more likely it is to come.

Even though he was extremely cautious and had put all his energy into it, under the fierce attack of the little mushroom-headed boy, he was like a small sailboat swaying in the rough sea. Although he had struggled to the extreme, he was finally overturned in one fell swoop.

"KO!"

Accompanied by a harsh sound, Xiachuan Kanade remained silent as he looked at the option "Do you want to insert coins again to participate" displayed on the entire screen.

He did lose, and lost miserably. It could even be said that he was slaughtered one-sidedly without any ability to fight back.

So that's how it is, so that's how it is, he is... no longer young.

Then he stood up firmly, his eyes determined as if he was going to join the organization, and then handed all the game coins in his hand to the elementary school student, and said to him earnestly: "According to the agreement, these game coins are all given to you..."

"Come on, young man. The future belongs to you. There is no place for old guys like us on this land... But I believe that with your potential, you can definitely develop it!"

Then he squeaked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who had been watching the show on the side, and left the scene with her without looking back.

He also needs some time to cherish the lost youth——

Therefore, he did not hear the more heartbreaking words coming from the elementary school student:

"That big brother is really nice, but his skills are really poor. I guess he can't even beat the worst person in our class..."

"..."

PS: 3K.

Wow, today is the day I stayed up all night. It's almost 8 o'clock now. After finishing this chapter, I feel dizzy and my chest is stuffy. My arms are also a little sore and uncomfortable because they have been pressed on the table. The key is that I am very hungry. But if I don't eat, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't eat. If I eat a little, it will be difficult to fall asleep directly. The most important thing is that in a while, all kinds of noises will be heard outside, and it will probably be difficult to fall asleep then. Moreover, I heard that after staying up all night, I will become more and more energetic. I am really worried that I will die suddenly. So, I will eat something and then go to sleep. See you tonight

202. Monologue of a Literary Girl

"..."

"..."

silence.

There was a long silence.

After coming out of the arcade, Natsukawa Kanade never said another word.

However, he was not embarrassed at first, and even started brainstorming.

For him, being defeated by an elementary school student was nothing to worry about. After all, there were so many people who lost to elementary school students in games, so why couldn't he do the same? But this time was a little different... He was beaten up by an elementary school student in front of a girl of the same age.

But that’s why it’s time to start brainstorming!

He had already thought of a complete countermeasure, and had even started planning it when he found out he couldn't defeat that little mushroom-headed guy - after losing the game, he immediately acted like "the Yangtze River's back waves pushed the front waves, and he, the front wave, was beaten to death on the beach", and then entrusted the "fighting spirit" to that "genius boy" in a gesture of inheritance...

That's right! As long as he puts on this attitude, he is not a shameful high school student who lost to an elementary school student, but a senior who knows the way and passes on "hope" to his successors!

In this way, even if the senior sister brought up this matter later, he would have something to say - that guy is a genius, if it were him, maybe he could help him realize his dream of becoming a world champion...

This is what he thought, and he had even made a complete explanation long ago, and he kept making an expression that looked very relieved and satisfied.

However, the person she faced was Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had not said a word since she left the house.

"..."

She! How could she! She could keep her composure like this!

Isn't this clearly saying something like "It's painful enough for my junior to lose to an elementary school student, so I shouldn't expose his scars."?

He didn't! He didn't lose! He just inherited his will! So you should say something quickly and stop feeling sorry for him!

"That guy... is a genius." Xia Chuan Zou said with a serious look. He couldn't bear it anymore. If he didn't say something, he felt like he would go crazy and collapse in the next second.

"Huh? What..." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him and wondered what he was suddenly talking about.

"..."

That innocent look of doubt was not fake at all, so Xiachuan Zou immediately understood.

The senior student didn’t think about what just happened at all. The reason why she didn’t say anything was probably because she was thinking about something else or waiting for him to start a conversation.

In other words, this matter could have been covered up, but he took the initiative to bring it up again!

Shit! Doesn't this make him seem like he cares?!

"I'm talking about the kid just now. He has amazing talent and has the potential to be a world champion in the future..." Xiachuan Kanade continued to explain with a stiff upper lip. It would be even more obvious if he said nothing more at this time, so he decided to just chat about it as an ordinary topic.

"Oh, I see..." Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded without comment.

She had no interest in this kind of thing. In comparison, she was more concerned about the fact that her junior liked to come to this kind of place. She just didn't know which other girls, besides her, had accompanied him to various dates...

She understood it, and she thought Natsukawa Kanade also understood it - girls generally don't like to go to such a small, cramped and noisy environment. Although some claw machines can indeed attract a little attention, fundamentally, such a place where mermaids are mixed and full of games is not favored by girls.

It can even be said that if a boy sets a date in such a scene, unless the relationship is close enough, he will definitely be disliked, and may even break up because of it - "You are a person who only thinks about yourself."

For a literary girl like her, it was even more impossible for her to like such a place, but her junior still brought her here.

Was it a momentary oversight? No, she didn't believe it.

She also didn't think her junior didn't understand her personality. In previous dates, he always did things that suited her preferences and hit every target accurately. There was no reason why he couldn't do it now? He even seemed to run towards the starting point...

You can't be trying to make her dislike you on purpose, right?

Based on her understanding of Natsukawa Kanade, this was absolutely impossible. She believed in her own judgment, and her judgment had never been wrong - except for the time when her junior confessed.

She thought she had hinted clearly at the time that "I hope my junior will face her with his true face, and then she will accept everything about him without hesitation." This was what she wanted to express, but he misunderstood it as "she can't accept his confession now." So, he started to leave her, and even threw himself into the arms of that stupid golden retriever.

This was unacceptable to her, and she even went out of her way to make trouble and obstruct him. In the end, she went to him and said these words to his face - "I obviously care about you, as long as you can..." However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party who said, "Please stop teasing me, and please don't look for me so often. I'm afraid that Eriri will misunderstand our relationship." Then he left without even looking at her.

From that moment on, she realized that she had deeply hurt the other person in a way that she herself was not aware of, and he was even unwilling to listen to her explanation.

Henceforth, she lowered her attitude very much, no longer considering herself as the "favored one", and even began to take the initiative to launch a "strategy". Then, bit by bit, the relationship between the two finally eased until now - she was also able to be brought to such a place by her junior.

Doesn't this prove that her junior also feels that the relationship between them has returned to the level it was before, or maybe even better?

She might have made some misjudgments, but there was no way she would miss the signal that "there are signs of improvement", and this was also in line with her long-cherished wish - she hoped that the junior would face her with his true self.

His own personal preferences, his own ideas, the action patterns that were not taken to cater to her thinking, what he liked to do when he was alone, everything, she wanted to know everything about him - and only in this way could she respond to him with the same unreserved and enthusiasm.

Because what she longed for was this pure romance, this wholehearted love...

"..."

203. Better Choice (3K)

"Not continuing?" Seeing that Natsukawa Kanade looked a little absent-minded, Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke at the right time.

"What?" Xia Chuanzou was stunned, a little confused.

"Of course, I mean a date—" Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded, and then changed the subject, "Youngster, is there any other place you want to go?"

"..." Xiachuan Zou turned his head and looked at her, but he didn't complain anymore. He nodded and said, "That's right... But is it okay for you, senior? You should have things you want to do too, right?"

"I don't care." The senior student shook her head, slightly opened her lips, and her tone seemed to rise slightly.

"Since I have promised to accompany you, Junior, then I will accompany you till the end. So no matter where you want to take me, or what you want to do, I will keep my promise, okay?"

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I still want to maintain my status as a human being for the time being." Xiachuan Zou nodded slightly. After getting used to it, this level of teasing basically had no effect on him.

But when it came to where he wanted to go, he became troubled.

For a boy like him, he usually doesn't go out. If he doesn't have an appointment with anyone, he can usually stay at home all day, playing games and listening to music.

Although he has a hobby of traveling, it would take up a lot of time, so he would not go out easily unless he had no plans. Especially when he decided to act alone at the last minute like today, he would not be able to make detailed travel arrangements. In addition, he originally thought that he could completely kill time by going to bookstores and arcades, but he didn't expect that he would be at a loss after a while.

"Senior, is there any place you want to go?" Xia Chuan Zou turned to ask her again. It was not that he chose to accommodate the other party, but he really couldn't think of it, so he might as well just ask for suggestions.
