Izure Shinwa no Ragnarok - Volume 2 - Chapter 4.5

Chapter 4.5

5

After school .

Once Sharo senpai and Kushinada senpai arrived at our classroom, Kunisaki suddenly said this,

“Anyone here go to the game center yet?”

There is a Game Center in the downtown area of Minami ward .

“……no . ”

However, ever since I was injured, I stopped looking for Kushinada Himeko . I don’t really have a reason to, though .

“Right……”

“Yeah, never been there before……”

Both Maria and Sharo senpai replies with disinterest .

But, Kunisaki is not giving up .

“Now, now . We can’t find Himeko chan even if we go looking for the entire island, right? On the other hand, if we set up a net, she might appear herself . ”

“Still nothing to do with game center . ”

“You still don’t get it . Where can you kill times other than game center?”

The number one reason a delinquent skip school for is, according to him is to kill some time .

This is from Kunisaki personal experience, but somewhat, it sounds convincing .

Kushinada Himeko disappearance is due to her running away from home . That is the assumption that he has come to and his reasoning is that the girl wants some time for herself……but I guess Kushinada senpai might rather be pleased with that reasoning .

“I see……that may be what happened . Don’t mind me, this is a good time for everyone to take a breather . There is likely chance that Himeko might appear, just like Kunisaki san has said . ”

“If Kushinada senpai said so……”

“Great! Now, let’s go!”

Kunisaki took his bag and enthusiastically walk outside .

“Kunisaki is a scatter brain like usual~”

Ruirui is somewhat amazed with his antics .

However, Tenka laughed .

“Really? I think Kunisaki kun is properly watching after everyone . ”

“He——y, everyone, quickly come too——”

Kunisaki looks back and urges us to get up and going .

His bright personality, whether if he was trying to cheer everyone up, that is still up to debate .

Oh well, better this compared to being invited to peep .

“……!”

I noticed myself laughing unconsciously .

Truly, even the tightest person will soften if they spend time with Kunisaki .

“Don’t walk too far ahead, Kunisaki kun . ”

Saying that, I chased after his back .

There are several game centres in Minami ward .

Among them, we choose the place which is nearest to the school .

“This is so fu——n!”

Kunisaki is battling against Ruirui in a racing game .

Even though this might be Ruirui first time playing, she appears to dominate the game .

“Hey Maria, let’s take a photo at the photobooth together~”

“Sure . ”

Looks like both Maria and Tenka is enjoying themselves too .

Now, what should I do now……

“……”

I cannot think of anything .

From what I remember, when I was a child, I used to play with sister, but I have never come to a place like this .

When I was a trainee, I think I don’t need to elaborate further .

With that said, I don’t have any idea how to play any of these .

“Is there anything that Sharo senpai is interested in?”

“Eh?”

Now that I am at a loose end, I turned to Sharo senpai who seems to be free herself .

She told us that she never went to any game centre before .

She is in the same boat as me somewhat .

“Umm, I don’t know anything that I’m personally interested in . ”

“Then, would you like to go around with me for a while?”

I give her a suggestion .

Then, her face broke into a smile .

“Yeah . ”

She nodded .

We both walk in the game center .

Anyway, the sound is super loud in here .

Electronic speech and sound effects overflow, it sounds so foreign that my body is not used to it .

It was the same with Sharo senpai . When our eyes met, she laughed, troubled .

“~~~~~~~~~hey . ”

Although she said something, I cannot hear well over the surrounding sounds .

“Sorry . What did you say?”

In order to listen to her better, I bring my face near to hers .

“Mwahh……that, I said, it’s really loud and noisy in this place, right?”

“Oh, you are very right . ”

Sharo senpai face reddened . I wonder if she was affected by the noisy sounds in the surrounding .

Just like that, we continue to wander around in this premise .

Once we entered the crane games corner, Sharo senpai suddenly halted her feet .

“That, I think it’s cute . ”

Sharo senpai points out to it . It is one of the crane game prizes .

That, I think it is a kind of a deformed stuffed cat?

I don’t know if it is too deformed .

“Then, would you like to play this one?”

“Yeah!”

Anyway, since Sharo senpai has took a liking to this game, I will challenge it quickly .

After I paid it with my credit, the game start .

“Then, Sharo senpai can play it first . ”

“Eh, but isn’t that Raika kun’s credit?”

“I don’t mind . ”

I leave the space for Sharo senpai .

“Looks like you can operate this machine with these buttons . ”

“Umm……will this move according to the direction of this arrow?”

Sharo senpai pushes the button as a test .

Next, the arm in the chassis began to move sideways .

“Waah! Waah!”

Sharo senpai pick it up by pressing the button only for it to let it go .

Then, the arm stopped .

“H, huh?”

Senpai tried to press the button again, but the arm neither make a *uun* nor *zuuun* sound .

“Apparently the movement stops once you let go of the buttons . ”

“Uuu~ just a little bit more and it’s in my grasp . ”

“For now, how about moving it to the back?”

Encouraged, Sharosenpai operates another button .

This time, she managed to stop the arm on top of her targeted stuffed animal, but as expected, the first mistake is affecting her, so she couldn’t grasp it well .

“Aah~……”

Sharo senpai leaks out her disappointment while staring at the empty arm .

“This time Raika kun tries it . ”

“Alright . ”

I replaced place with Sharo senpai and stood in front of the crane arm .

As far as I can see, the arm’s clamping power seems to be pretty solid .

If that is the case, if I can put the arm neatly next to the stuffed toy, I will definitely be able to grasp it .

“Well, the timing to release the button and to stop the arm is……”

I remember how senpai play it before and move the arm .

It took 0 . 1 second for the arm to stop after pressing the button……although the arm’s position is a little off, it is still an expected error .

Afterwards if I let it go into the gap between the stuffed animals that Sharo senpai made a while ago……,

The arm stopped at the target’s position .

The arms descend and grabs the stuffed toys with its claws .

The arm starts to rise as it is, but it was caught by the surrounding stuffed animal a little .

“!”

I thought I have failed .

“Wow! Raika kun, amazing!”

Somehow, the arm crane caught the other stuff as well, and raised both stuffed toys together .

“……good!”

I made a small gut pose .

I noticed it and become a bit ashamed, but I’m fine with it since senpai is happy .

“Here . For you . ”

I take the stuffed toys from the prize mouth and hand bothto her .

“Wow~ thank you!”

Sharo senpai hugged the stuffed animals tightly .

Seems like she has taken a liking to that cat (?) .

While I think its fine if she took it both, suddenly she hands one of them to me .

“One is for Raika kun to decorate his room with . ”

“Eh?”

I was slightly perplexed by her proposal .

“Err, then, I will gladly accept it . ”

I got pushed by her smile and eventually receives it .

『——wo——w, that is quite a cute hobby you got there, Raika . 』

Shut up .

I quickly stop Bálor from commenting .

Well……now that I take a good look at it, this cat has a tasteful design……this is a cat, right?

Now, where should I put this……?

“Eeeeh, anywhere is fine . ”

Sharo senpai said it happily .

Obviously, this stuffed cat doesn’t fit anywhere in my room, but I give up since she seems so pleased with it .

While I think about it, I stared at Sharo senpai .

“Raika san! Where are you!?”

I heard a voice calling for my name .

That voice belongs to Maria .

I also look for her silhouette and find her behind the crane machine .

“Maria!”

“Ah! Raika, san……!?”

Maria face brightened after she found me, but immediately afterwards her face become stone cold .

“Maria?”

She didn’t reply to my call .

The line of her sight is focused on me and Sharo senpai stuffed animals .

“R, Raika san . Those stuffed animals, what about them?”

“Un? No, this is the price from this game . ”

“That’s not it . Why does Sharo senpai has the same one as yours?”

“I accidentally get two . So, I gave one to senpai as present . ”

“Is, is that so?”

“?”

It’s strange for her to dig up for this information .

Besides, the way she is talking is too awkward .

“Present……matching……Raika senpai is……”

Maria is sputtering those words .

“Maria, do you want this stuffed animal?”

“Eh!?”

I asked her, and Maria looks surprised .

……don’t tell me she doesn’t realize that she is talking out loud?

Maria cheeks reddened .

“N, no, it’s okay! Ah, I will buy something to drink!”

She raised a loud voice and hastily went away .

I stared at the corner where her back disappeared,

“Did something happen?”

I asked and tilted my head .

“……”

Sharo senpai who watched our interactions from the side, didn’t comment anything while making a difficult face .
