Book 2: Chapter 4: Part 2

Heres another chapter, the next part would be tomorrow.Part 2

Alright! Lets hang out!

After school, me, Ryo, Shingo-kun, Kaede, Rin, and.

Please take care of me today, everyone.

Kaori, the six of us went out to have some fun.

It started with a talk about me not having a backpack or anything else necessary for the field trip, and then they decided to hang out with me while I was shopping.

I-I never thought Id be able to hang out with Kaori-san

Then Shingo-kun said that with a bit of trepidation. I also invited Akira to join us, but he had some business to attend to, so hes not here. And while the five of us were about to go out, Kaori was nearby, so I asked her to join, too, and she accepted it.

I was surprised. I didnt expect Yuuya to be acquainted with Kaori-san Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mm-hm. Kaori-san is the daughter of the chairman of this academy, and more importantly, the aura she wears is too noble!

Kaori chuckles at Ryo and Rins words.

Im not like that. Its my father who has that position. Please feel free to call me Kaori, too, everyone.

R-really? Well then Kaori! Nice to know you!

Just like that, Kaori got used to Rin and the others without any problems.

The destination we went to was not the area around the school where Kaori and I ate crepes before, but a department store that is a little far away. Since I left it to Ryo and the others who are familiar with this area, there is no need to worry about many things.

Along the way, Kaori told the story of how she met me and how I came to the school, and everyone listened to it with interest.

How should I put it Yuuya is amazing.

Y-yeah. If it were me, Id be too scared to help

Shingo-kun is a little shaken when he hears about the first time I met Kaori. She didnt tell them about the fact that I was beaten up by the delinquent, it seems shes considering my feelings, so they all praise me for it. W-well thats embarrassing, you know.

While having this conversation, we arrived at our destination.

Lets go shopping here. Theres also a game center inside.

I was led to a department store, which probably had about eight floors. When looking at such a building, Kaori was a little impressed and said, This is my first time hanging out in a place like this with friends!

Oh, yeah, me too.

Wait, what did you say?

Its not just Kaori, Ive never played with this many friends in the first place. Despite that, Ive had my grandfather take me to the game center before, even though it was only a few times.

Hearing our words, Kaede and the others were surprised with their eyes wide open.

I-I cant believe there are two such endangered species

Endangered species

I couldnt help but laugh at Kaedes words.

Well then, the two of you should have some fun today.

Thats right. Kaori, Kaede, we will go look at some clothes later.

That sounds great, Rin-chan!

Hey, come on, first of all, well start with Yuuyas backpack.

Okaay.

As Ryo said, we quickly went inside the department store. Since I dont have any special preferences to begin with, I can easily find and buy the backpack.

Then, after getting advice from Ryo and the others, I bought the other recommended items, and then we finally came to the floor where the game center is located.

This whole floor is the game center, huh?

Yeah

Its amazing!

It was a place with a UFO catcher, arcade games, other medal games, and various other gaming machines.

Hmmm although we often go to the game center, it still looks amazing.

Well, whatever. Lets just have some fun.

Just like Ryo said, we wandered around the game center. Then Shingo-kun stopped in front of one UFO catcher.

T-this is

Whats wrong?

Ah N-no, I just saw a figurine of my favorite character from the anime I watch, so

A figurine of a girl that looked like a magical girl was placed at the end of Shingo-kuns gaze.

B-but Im not very good at this type of crane game I dont have much money this time, so Ill do it another time.

Really? Then, since were here, let me try it.

Ive never played a crane game before because I dont have any of the things I want, but because Shingo-kun said he wanted that figurine, I decided to try to get it.

Oh, youre going to do it, Yuuya?

Ill do my best!

I was nervous about my first ever crane game in my life, but I was able to control the crane and move it to the desired location. For my first time operating the crane, I was able to move it the way I wanted to, but I guess that was thanks to my improved body.

Here it is! My hand moves at the right time, so theres no problem. Besides, I also used my [Weakness Detection] skill in order to find out where on the figure to aim, so it will make it easier to get at, as well, so it wont be a disastrous result. [T/n: Uwakimonooo!!]

I seriously stared at the crane and the box of figures and determined where to aim. And as I stared at the box, a part of the figure box seemed to be vaguely glowing. This shining place is the weak point of this figure box, and if I strike this spot, its balance will slip off, and It will fall as it is.

I moved the crane further to the location of the box of figures I was aiming for and pressed the button at best possible time. And then

Eh, no way!

Incredible

What a surprise, I was able to get it off in one shot. I didnt expect to get it off in one shot. Because I thought the arm of the crane was weak, so I should do it at least twice. But I guess the part I aimed for was weaker than I expected.

Ooh, you got it in one go!

Wait, wait, wait, isnt this a probability machine? But thats amazing!

I dont know what a probability machine is, but I managed to get one, so I gave it to Shingo-kun.

Here you go.

E-eeeh? I-I cant accept it!

But I only did it because I wanted to give it to Shingo-kun, so ah, how about we trade it with 100 yen? If so, Ill get my hundred yen back too!

I-if Yuuya-kuns okay with it, then

Shingo-kun looked very happy to trade the figurine for a hundred yen with me, but then Kaede, who was watching what had happened with the others, pulled me along.

Y-Yuuya-kun! Can you get this one?

Eeh?

Kaede pulled me to a large stuffed animal of an adorable cat. When I look at it again, I can see that she has already put her money in it.

Wait, you have already put money in it, and if I fail

I dont care about the money, just try it once!

I felt sorry if I failed with someone elses money, but Kaede permitted me to do it, so Ill just try it, I guess. Of course, Im using the [Weakness Detection] skill as well. And just like when I took the figurine earlier, I moved the cranes arm towards the shiny part of the stuffed animal, and accurately hit the weak point of it.

Ah, I got it!

Really?

The stuffed animal came off without a hitch.

Yay! Ive always wanted this stuffed animal! Thank you, Yuuya-kun!

Kaede said as she hugged the stuffed animal. Maybe its because I succeeded twice in a row, but everyone, including Ryo, takes me to the thing they want.

Y-Yuuya! Ive always wanted this game! Can you get it?

I want this stuffed animal.

I I have never seen any of it before, but I think this stuffed animal is adorable!

As a result, I was able to get it all in one shot. H-huh? Is the UFO catcher really that easy? No matter how much Im using [Weakness Detection], its too easy to take it out, so when I think about that, Ryo opened his mouth with a look of admiration.

No, it aint a coincidence when it gets to this point. This is the first time Ive ever seen someone take the UFO catcher prize so easily

I-is that so?

Thats right its my first time in a game center, but I can see how amazing Yuuya-san is.

Apparently, its unusual even from Kaoris perspective, whos a newbie to the game center like me. W-well, its okay. Im not losing anything! After enjoying the UFO catcher like that, we played a certain car racing game.

Uhm, is this the right direction?

No, its backward! Kaori, go back as fast as you can right now!

Move out of my way! Ill come through!

Wha-! Yuuyas too fast! What kind of driving technique is that? Can you move like that in this game?

I-is that so?

Yuuya-kun, thats amazing

In the end, I am in the first position, and the bottom one was Kaori, who was new to the game like me. Then, after also enjoying various other shooting games, we decided to take a break.

Phew its been a while since I had a good time like this.

M-me too

Now that I think about it, isnt Yuuya amazing?

Right. he got a high score on the shooter game too

Shingos drumming was pretty intense too. I couldnt follow it with my eyes anymore.

A-anyone can do that if they know the music.

No, thats impossible.

As everyone takes a breath, Kaori smiles gently.

Ive never hung out with so many friends like this before, so its a lot of fun.

Kaori!

Kaedes eyes turn moist at Kaoris words, and then she and Rin made Kaori stand up.

Alright, then lets go look at some clothes now!

Eh? C-clothes?

Yes, thats right. High school girls like us have to take care of their appearance. So, well go upstairs to look at some clothes, so lets meet up here later.

Hmm? Arent we also coming out with you?

Ryo says that to Rin and the others, and Kaede grins at him.

Are you sure, Ryo-kun? Girls shopping takes longer than you think, you know?

Then, Ill pass on that.

So we parted for once, and the ladies went upstairs to look at the womens clothing section.

Well then, should we go downstairs and have a look?

Yes.

Alright.

And thus, we headed off to look at the other floor, which was different from the ladies.
