“Grand Slam!
"The loudspeaker on the side of the slot machine emits an exaggerated shout that is actually attractive, and the scantily clad oiran image performs a striptease above the machine, "Thirteen thousand points!
"
On the LCD screen on the front of the slot machine, the rapidly changing fonts have stopped. From left to right are [Big] [Phase] and [Push], which is a very good combination second only to [Big] [Gold] and [Star]. A large number of tokens collided with each other when being spit out by the machine, making a pleasant crunching sound. Rina pumped her fist excitedly: "Okay~!"
"You guy, you're obviously a high school girl but you're here playing gambling machines." Rei Shigure said with a sideways glance.
"It's not gambling if you can make sure you make money without losing money~" Rina smiled and swept the tokens into the box, "Besides, we don't use "technology", it all depends on our eyesight~~"
The large number of tokens Rina won made the young people watching start to comment jealously, and the bustling arcade became even more chaotic. This is the token paradise in the handbag area, the largest arcade hall in the country known as the Arcade Museum. The female high school student, who had been shopping in the business district for a long time, chose this place as her target for this afternoon after lunch. Along with her, in addition to Kirara and Sakura Mai, there were also the Shigure siblings and Caldesia whom she met by chance on the way.
Now Kirara and Caldesia are challenging the dance machine joint record, while Reiichi Shigure and Mai Sakura are chatting in the rest area. After counting the number of tokens, Rina raised a token to Shigure Rei.
"Want to give it a try, Miss Shigure?" Rina narrowed her eyes, "Just like us, no "skills" are needed."
"Oh, I'm really underestimated." Rei Shigure grabbed the token and stuffed it into the coin slot of the slot machine. "Watch it for me, little girl from the countryside, let me tell you what the gap in strength is!"
·
Fifteen minutes later.
The rapidly rotating words and pictures stopped one after another. From left to right were the little seal, the little golden judge and [pounce]. The electronic oiran above the machine let out a cry of regret, and Rei Shigure raised his hand angrily.
"Give me another one!"
"No~ give it~" Rina raised the box above her head, "Admit it, if you don't rely on skills to play this, you are just giving away money. If you have no time to waste money, why not practice karate."
"It's so funny, what kind of fighting do I, the mighty Sokai Master, do?" Rei Shigure said disdainfully, "What use is karate to me?"
"One more project that gives Xiao Ce a sense of superiority?"
"..." The female hunter fell strangely silent.
"Hey, are you serious?!"
"You can sometimes say very reasonable things, little girl."
After creating this world, this person really came back to life more and more.
This inexplicable persistence is as good as the uncle's. It is worthy of being the creation of the Brahma Realm.
"You talk like a little girl all day long to make you look older." Rina shrank her head to avoid Rei Shigure's iron claws, "Tell me, where are you going from now on?"
"After thinking about it, it's better to go to Hezhong first. The Empire will go with Gongsun Ce when he has time later. What about you?"
"Let's go back to our hometown and continue school and work. _o_m "
Shigurei frowned and looked at her.
"Are you really willing to stay in that little shabby place? The Nao Kami are no longer in this world, so why do you, the Witch Goddess, have any need to continue to do anything?"
"The ordinary Hidden Gods are still here. Besides, although Huangquan Shrine is small, it is more comfortable than living in Weibara Castle." Rina said leisurely, "People still have to choose the life that suits them best~"
The little witch took out her phone, opened the chat group and looked at the records. A message from a certain gray-haired man with glasses popped up, and the speed at which it filled the screen shocked her.
【I am in Token Paradise. Is anyone around? 】
[Okay, can someone come and support me? 】
【Help! I don't want to continue anymore! 】
[Please stop playing and look at the group! 】
【save! 】
...What kind of trouble did Xiao Ce get involved in again?
"I'm convinced, let's go see what kind of mess our junior brother has caused."
"It must be a woman." Rei Shigure said with great confidence, "He would not come to the group to ask for help if he acts out of righteousness."
We think so.
슷
It doesn't take much effort to find Junior Brother.
, after all, places with him are always lively. Rina casually glanced at the most crowded place and found the conspicuous gray hair. The little witch didn't rush to talk, but blended into the crowd to observe.
(This is...an offline battle?)
Judging from the joystick Gongsun Ce holds in his hand and the buttons he presses frantically, he is playing the most common fighting game in arcades. His opponent should be the girl sitting in the seat next to him.
The muscular man with double swords on the game screen is moving quickly to control the distance between the two sides, while another perverted man wearing an onmyoji costume is sitting on the edge of the board motionless as if he is offline.
"I'm going to do it!" Gongsun Ce said very deliberately. Under his control, Muscle Lao pulled out his two swords and unleashed a set of practical combos that were not very entertaining. It started with a rapid thrust and ended with a simultaneous slash with both swords. The perverted man made an exaggerated wailing sound and emptied his health bar in the background.
The expressionless girl let go of the operating lever.
"Okay, let's lose again."
"Stop, this is not a duel at all!" Gongsun Ce screamed, "To attack an opponent without resistance is an unpleasant behavior even in a fighting game! It looks like I am bullying others, but it is actually Gongsun who is being bullied. Sir me!
"
The fighting game players watching on the sidelines nodded in unison, and the understanding from the stranger made the gray-haired young man feel even more sad.
Qin Qianbai gave a thumbs up: "So it's a mess."
"Stop showing off, young lady... Seriously, if you are angry, it would be better for us to beat him together than to torture me here..."
That's how it is. That's how it is. We totally understand.
Rina squeezed to her seat and patted her junior brother on the shoulder. Gongsun Ce's expression when he turned back could almost be called tears in his eyes.
"Senior sister...!"
"Don't say anything, let's take over for one game. Xiao Ce, go buy a candy for us~"
Gongsun Ce ran away like a rabbit, and Rina sat in his seat and adjusted the joystick.
(It’s almost the same as the old machine in our hometown...) Thinking about this, she smiled at the female college student on her right.
"Sorry to disturb you?"
"No." Qin Qianbai shook his head, "I just want to vent."
"That's good."
Rina casually drew a spiritual symbol and stuck it in her pocket with a charm, so that she didn't have to worry about the conversation being overheard by others.
She turned on the random casting mode, and the computer automatically selected a young female character dressed as a high school student and a young summoner character wearing a hat. Click click click, the brisk button sound sounded. After accumulating power for a long time, the female high school student used a straight punch with questionable special effects to kill with one blow.
"We used to play this a lot after school~" Rina whistled, "So, is it really because of that elder?"
"Is this how Izumo-san sees it?"
Miss Izumo. The sense of distance that was deliberately created... He was so defensive to a high school student like us.
"How should I put it? It feels like you have a winning mentality towards him..." Rina shook the joystick, "But I don't feel any malice, both sides are the same. Correct update @ That winning mentality is not strong. It got to the point where I was like, 'I have to beat him.'"
"…very sharp."
"Of course, our "technology" is built from this aspect of psychology."
Extended from the desire to win is the motivation to become stronger, which is the basis of the mantra. Wanting to be effective at any time, wanting to be able to influence the situation at any time, is the desire for "power". This is different from the desire to defeat someone or accomplish something. The latter's performance is sharper and more direct, and he regards "becoming stronger" as a means rather than an end. That can be said to be becoming stronger for others.
Judging from her performance during the battle, Rina believes that this doll-like lady is the same as herself, and she is the former who regards "strength" as her goal, and she wants to become stronger for herself. It's a bit strange for her to be obsessed with comparing herself to the top Ming Ke.
However, it’s not easy to ask more about this matter. She was not very familiar with Qin Qianbai, so let her junior brother handle such personal matters.
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta. Another game ended, and the character controlled by Qin Qianbai simply died. The daughter of the Qin family.
Er let go of the joystick and asked coldly.
"What do you think, Miss Izumo, about inheriting the shrine?"
"It's pretty good." Rina replied easily, "There are people who like big places, and there are people who like small places. There are people who prefer a lively life, and there are people who prefer a quiet daily life. We are rustic. The latter."
Qin Qianbai turned around and stared at her.
"It's all based on your own ideas, right?"
How can it be. The opinions of elders, grandma's expectations, and various factors will definitely have an impact.
Rina put her hands in her pockets and asked, "Miss Qin, do you still remember our expectations for love?"
"A kind man who can live in peace."
"Yes, I was deeply shocked by Miss Orianna's girlishness. After returning to the house, we carefully thought about what is our ideal type..." the little witch said embarrassedly, "But I think about it. I wanted to go, but found that those who were too idealistic would seem to have nothing to do. Only then did I realize that what I was talking about was not only professional needs, but also my own considerations."
"That's it."
"However, let me digress~" Rina smirked, "After the elders confirmed our ambition, they even proposed some kind of marriage. This is hard to accept! Let me put it bluntly, "If we bring it up again "We won't inherit the shrine and go travel to the uncle about this." They would never dare to say this again."
"awesome."
The eldest lady nodded, understanding the thoughts of the foreign witch.
It is both a personal appeal and the expectations of others. It is precisely because oneself is in line with the direction of the outside world that one can have such an optimistic attitude. But if the two deviate too much, they will decisively choose to protect their freedom. Rina reached a delicate balance between the two, and was able to safely become the successor of the shrine.
She understood why A Ce called this child senior sister. In some ways, Izumo Rina is much more mature than these college students.
She looked at the handle and thought. This kind of angry play actually has no real meaning.
Just like what she and Ate said, she is just showing off now. The realm of martial arts will not be broken through by winning or losing in the game, and false failure will not be an opportunity to develop the desire to win or lose.
A warrior's heart can become stronger only when he truly understands the reason for fighting and the way to survive. And in this regard, Izumo Rina's outlook on life is an important reference...the reference of "seniors".
"Speaking of which, since Miss Qin is not obsessed with winning or losing..." the little witch started the next game, "then it's up to us to win another game?"
"No." Qin Qianbai held the handle, "The show is over. From now on, we have to do something real."
"Is the love war serious?" Rina asked abruptly.
"Gu."
While the eldest lady was distracted, Rina took the opportunity to control the character to perform a set of combos.
"Ah haha, let's win another round~!"
When Gongsun Ce came back with the candy, he saw the two people dueling in front of the arcade. The battles on the screen were exciting and exciting, which amazed the onlookers.
"So strong! We lost~" Rina let go of the joystick and leaned back on the seat.
"Awesome, senior sister!" Gongsun Ce handed over a lollipop and praised in a low voice, "How did you do it?"
Rina looked up at him with the candy in her mouth, her beautiful ponytail hanging behind the chair, and the young man's upside-down face reflected in the bright hole.
"Want to know?"
"Want to know. @·无码开户~~"
"I won't tell you." Rina bit into the candy and said, "It's a secret between girls~"
You little fox.
·
After the brawl in the arcade, there was a dinner party, and then there was a party and night. Everyone, including Shigure Reiichi, who was almost drunk, walked in vain on the streets of Weihara Castle.
"Ah wow wow, I definitely can't do it..." Qiluo said in a confused tone.
Rina laboriously dragged the half-drunk idol. "You...actually drank in front of a high school student like us...hiccups!"
"What does it matter..." Shi Yuling lazily put his arm on Gongsun Ce's shoulder, "I drank too much, carry me back.
. "
"Get off Ace first." The girl grabbed the hunter's arm forcefully.
"If you're jealous, just go hug him yourself. I won't come down, okay?"
"Can you two please stop hitting Mr. Gongsun when we quarrel?" Gongsun Ce screamed, "They drank too much! Lord Shiyu, save me!"
"The wind is so strong tonight, Caldesia." "I mean, I can't hear anything~" The passionate duo on the side ignored their friend's plea for help with an annoying tacit understanding.
Amid the laughter, Rina rubbed her eyes.
"What a tragedy." The little witch said, "We really drank too much, and we even saw the uncle. Correct update@"
This illusion is quite realistic, and it perfectly restores the man's appearance: tall body. The carefree demeanor, the black coat casually draped behind him, and the annoying smile at the corner of his mouth. The drunk Phantom took a few steps forward, reached out and slapped her on the head.
"Ah, it hurts!" Rina hugged her head and cried, "The hallucination is hitting someone!"
"How much did you drink to be so stupid?" Yan Qi patted his disciple on the head like a mole, "You're almost done playing, huh?"
He loosened his hand, pinched his chin and sneered.
"The vacation is over, let me go back to heaven and go to jail!"
The super-powered person's trip came to an end with this sudden voice and the wails of the college students.
