Game Centre ☆ Chance!

Towa
Eeh, there are so many people watching us even though it's just practice...

Ramona
Oh, don't worry about it! Just think of us as potatoes!

Towa
It's like a first stage performance...

Hikari
Yeah, yeah! I heard there's a game where you dance to the rhythm and get a hairdryer pad, so I was wondering what it was like!

Towa
Isn’t that really mixed up...?

Towa
Never mind, let's start training.

Lilja
Okay, here's the training fee.

Towa
Wow, you're really paying...and it's a 10,000 yen note...

Lilja
Is it not enough?

Towa
No, if I play 10,000 yen worth in a row, I’ll be banned. How many songs is that? For now, make it 100 yen.

Lilja
I see. Okay, here you go.

Towa
Thank you. Three songs for one credit, that's a bargain.

Hikari
Ooh...! It's finally starting...!

Ramona
Just watching this makes me excited.

Towa
Um, there's buttons on the left and right, buttons on the walls on both sides, and a lever in the middle...

Towa
...A lever in a music game?

Ramona
It's like a joystick.

Ramona
Oh! Is that the enemy standing over there?

Towa
Wait, do you dodge!? This! It's a shooter!

Towa
But you're hitting this and doing that! It's a rhythm game!

Hikari
Wow, that's amazing! You're pulling the lever! While smashing the buttons!

Ramona
You have to press the buttons in time with the rhythm, and you also have to deal with the shooting elements... It looks quite complicated, doesn't it?

Towa
I underestimated it...

Towa
It's quite challenging...!

Towa
Let's play again. If I play it again, I can do it.

Hikari
Oh, Towa-chan is on fire...!

Hikari
I want to try it too! Can I use the seat next to you?

Lilja
If it's free, then why not?

Hikari
Yay!

Towa
Alright, I've beaten my own record!

Hikari
Oh, I like this song! Alright, let's give it a try!

Ramona
It looks like you two are concentrating really hard.

Lilja
Hmm...

Ramona
Haha, is it boring just watching?

Lilja
No, it's just that I don't really play games, so I don't know what to do while I'm watching.

Ramona
Definitely. They're both totally devoted to self improvement, so it would be rude to interrupt them.

Ramona
Since we've come all this way, why don't we explore inside the arcade?

Lilja
Yeah.

Lilja
I saw earlier that you can take photos over there.

Ramona
Hmm? Oh! Isn't that something called ‘puri’? I've heard of it as a Japanese culture!

Ramona
Anyway, it can make your skin look beautiful, or draw graffiti... It seems that you can even apply makeup these days.

Lilja
Even more beautiful...

Lilja
Let's try it, Ramo.

Ramo
Yeah!

Towa
...Phew, I’ll take a break for now.

Towa
Hikari is-

Hikari
Whoosh! Whoosh! Here's the lever!

Towa
...Are you enjoying yourself? Where did Lilja and Ramona go?

Ramona
Waah! We're crashing, we're crashing! Lilja, turn the wheel to the right!

Lilja
Okay.

Ramona
No, no, not so slowly...

Ramona
...Oh no.

Towa
You’re off the course. Don’t worry about it. By the way, what kind of racing game are you enjoying?

Ramona
Haha, sorry. I don't often come to arcades, so I was just looking around and got carried away.

Lilja
I just took some 'Puri' pictures.

Lilja
Look, Ramo and I are in ‘sophisticated and super cute mode’.

Towa
Oh, cute, cute. You're in a great mood.

Towa
You've taken way too many pictures. How many do you have?

Ramona
Well, there were so many different models that I just couldn't stop...

Towa
I'm glad you guys seem to be having fun...
